"This is Zhang Quansheng Zhang Daoyou from Longhu Mountain, these two are Zhang Daoyou's disciples."

"This is little friend Ye Zhou. He accidentally opened his eyes, and he can see evil ghosts without any other means."

"That is little friend Wang Yong who was recommended by little friend Ye Zhou to join the Special Affairs Bureau. He also aroused special abilities by chance. Wang Yong has a strange fire in his body, and the fire on his body has the special ability to suppress ghosts. , Wasn’t it rumored on the Internet that ghosts always hit the wall in the middle of the night on the mountain road in Sanshan Tomb? It’s actually not a rumor, but a real thing. The troublesome earth-bound spirit was solved by Wang Yong and Ye Zhou together .”

"And that..."

The time when Gu Chu joined the Special Affairs Bureau coincidentally happened to be the day when the members of the Eastern District Special Affairs Bureau gathered to report work this quarter. Except for some members who were still performing tasks and stayed in the station to take care of emergencies at any time, almost all of them were present.

Gu Chu had never met most of the people present, so she could only be introduced one by one by the strangers around her.

Of course, it is not without faces.

For example, Zhao Wensheng, the deputy director of the Eastern District who organized this meeting, had met before when he was dealing with the sailing community case. Gu Chu and Yirenlao also met in that case.

In fact, it is more convenient to distinguish the different people in this venue.

For example, Yirenlao, who has inheritance, mostly don't know the existence of "One Hundred Thousand". They cultivated special powers through the secret books handed down from their ancestors. Gu Chu can almost conclude that strangers like Ye Zhou and Wang Yong are all readers of "One Hundred Thousand".

How can there be so many opportunities in this world!

Of course, this way of distinguishing is not absolute. It is also possible for aliens with an orderly inheritance to be selected by "One Hundred Thousand" at the same time. Similarly, opportunities may really exist, but according to this way of distinguishing, at least 70% to 80% Accuracy.

"Those are Taoist friends from Mao Shan. Gu Xiaoyou should have a lot of connections with this lineage, so I don't need my introduction."

What Yiren was referring to was Mao Shiqi, but today two strange characters appeared beside him.

An old man in a yellow Taoist robe with an unshaven beard who looked a little muddleheaded, and a child who was only as tall as Mao Shiqi's waist, but looked very mature and stable at such a young age. She doesn't appear flustered, sticks close to Mao Shiqi, and only occasionally when she looks at him, a trace of dependence and peace of mind will flash in her dark eyes.

As for Mao Shiqi, his attire is still the style of the minority people when we first met him, similar to the clothes made of hundreds of cloths, and the long and thin braids woven with a large string of colored ropes on the back, such a colorful and fancy style On other people, it will definitely look messy, but he has a face that is pleasing and handsome enough. This kind of dress does not overwhelm the guest at all, but instead highlights his warm and lively temperament, like a clever and cunning flower fox .

Mao Shiqi is definitely a person who can make people lower their guards at first glance and think that he is very harmless.

"That's Shiqi's master, the younger one... Has Mao Fenglin accepted a new apprentice?"

The volume of the second half of the sentence is very low, and it can be called the old man talking to himself.

Three people stand together, but they have three completely different styles.

Gu Chu looked at Mao Shiqi, and it was really hard to imagine that such an old man who looked rather old-fashioned could teach such an apprentice as Mao Shiqi.

At the same time, Mao Shiqi also saw her, and he didn't seem surprised that Gu Chu appeared in the meeting of the Special Affairs Bureau.

It's just that the meeting was about to start, so there was no time for Mao Shiqi to exchange pleasantries.

The central theme of this meeting was still centered around the Fair Fair. Not long ago, the Special Affairs Bureau caught up with an organization of the Fair Fair in the Eastern District. This organization was a medium-sized real estate company that was operating. Members, or ordinary people who have been brainwashed by the fair.

After investigation, the real estate developed by this real estate company in recent years has great problems in Fengshui. The frequent supernatural events during this period may have a constant relationship with these Fengshui formations.

However, the person in charge of the stronghold of the Fair Fair is very cautious. Before that, the Special Affairs Bureau had never paid attention to this real estate company, because each of his development projects seemed to be no problem individually, but when an entire city When all the development projects in the city are combined, it becomes a huge feng shui evil, and the feng shui formations in many cities are still slowly taking shape, so it is even more difficult for the outside world to notice.

This time the Special Affairs Bureau was able to discover this stronghold, so it had something to do with Gu Chu.

Jiang Xin's status in the fair association should not be low. Previously, Yiren Lao took his disciples to contact Gu Chu after discovering the traces left by Xiu Manmei's soul in Jiangjia. Timely investigated the backgrounds of Jiang Xin himself and the barrister who acted for him at that time, followed the clues and discovered that a member of the fair society who had been targeted by them had appeared in this real estate company several times, and thus launched an investigation on this company. investigation.

Fortunately, it was discovered early, and this evil plan of the Fair Society was killed in the cradle.

They still don't know why the fair will play such a big game of chess, but one thing is certain, the company and group controlled by the fair will definitely not be the only one, and this kind of conspiracy like using the whole city as a formation is not alone. It only happened in the Eastern District. After making this discovery, Zhao Wensheng immediately notified his colleagues in other districts. During this time, almost all the strangers who were proficient in formation spells were busy without touching the ground.

In addition to the topic of the fair, also welcomed the new members of the Special Affairs Bureau this year, and expressed condolences for the frequent occurrence of supernatural events and the increase in the frequency of missions during this period.

This kind of scene is indispensable even for a special department like the Bureau of Special Affairs.

Gu Chu listened carefully to the content of the meeting and made several discoveries.

The first point is that there seem to be more and more supernatural events in real life in the past few years. The Bureau of Special Affairs thinks that this may be related to the fair.

The second point, strictly speaking, is what Gu Chu learned from the old mouth of another person.

Cultivators like them who have inheritance all feel that cultivation has become more and more convenient in recent years, and some monks have proposed a concept-spiritual energy recovery!

Some people think that perhaps the frequent occurrence of supernatural events may not necessarily be due to fairness being in trouble, but the secondary effect brought about by the revival of spiritual energy. Such an environment suitable for monks' cultivation is also applicable to ghosts.

Orthodox Taoist sects with profound foundations like Mao Shan and Longhushan have several ancestors who are hidden from the world. The situation of the past ten years led to this inference. The so-called recovery of spiritual energy is not without basis.

The third point is the attitude of the country.

Although supernatural events appear frequently now, the country does not want ordinary people to know about it. After all, although supernatural events are increasing, the overall volume is still very small. Letting ordinary people know about this will not only increase panic, but also cause social anxiety. Apart from turmoil, there is no benefit.

...

After finally surviving the meeting, Mao Shiqi took the initiative to lead the master and younger brother to appear in front of Gu Chu.

"Sister, this is my master, and this is my junior brother Mao Shiba."

"Master, this is my... friend, Gu Chu, she is a very warm-hearted and good sister."

Mao Shiqi introduced them, but when he talked about Gu Chu, he was a little vague.

Mao Shiba?

Gu Chu frowned slightly when he heard the name. The old man in front of him should have chosen this name. It sounds a bit too casual. In front of Mao Shiqi, there might be Mao Da, Mao Er... Mao Shi Apprentices like Six.

This reminded Gu Chu of Mao Shiqi's net name in that social networking group—Sixteen digs a hole, Seventeen goes to the grave, which sounds inexplicably weird.

"Hmph, crooked ways."

After looking Gu Chu up and down with cloudy eyes, the old man in yellow robes with a beard and shaggy, sneered, and squeezed out such an evaluation from his throat.

Gu Chu's ghostly aura has been well hidden, at least the strangers who thought she smelled bad when they met for the first time didn't notice the problem, but this kind of concealment still can't hide it from an old Taoist priest like Mao Fenglin who specializes in this way.

From Gu Chu's body, Mao Fenglin felt a decadent death aura. This kind of death aura doesn't seem to be caused by simply raising ghosts or getting along with evil spirits for a long time.

The stranger at the side was a little embarrassed when he heard Mao Fenglin's evaluation of Gu Chu.

"Hahaha, old Mao, your concept is a bit outdated. There is a saying, it doesn't matter whether the cat is white or black, as long as it catches mice, it is a good cat. Similarly, no matter what kind of Taoism you practice, As long as the mind is right, it is not crooked."

Yiren Lao guessed that Gu Chu should raise a little ghost, but he is a divination master himself, proficient in the art of face-to-face, and knows that Gu Chu is not an evil cultivator, and they have gotten to know each other a few times, Yi Ren Lao understands Gu Chu better. Chu is jealous of evil, and believes that even if Gu Chu raises a little ghost, he will not use the little ghost to harm others. On the contrary, this may be her way to save people.

Since what you are doing is the right way, why care about the method?

"Hmph, the Bureau of Secret Affairs is getting worse and worse. All dirty and smelly things are drawn in. What's the difference between this kind of behavior and a fair meeting? Seventeen, if you don't learn well yourself, don't spoil your junior brother .”

Mao Fenglin squinted at the apprentice beside him, then turned his head and left. This time, he didn't even give Gu Chu a glimpse.

This time, Yiren laughed even more awkwardly.

Mao Shiqi didn't seem to have expected his master to behave like this, his original bright smile was slightly retracted, and a trace of uncapturable emotion flashed in his eyes.

Seeing that the yellow-robed old man had walked about ten steps away, Mao Shiqi could only give Gu Chu a comforting look, and then apologized to her and the old man Yiren. The younger brother hastily followed the back of the master.

This time we met, we broke up unhappy.

Faced with Mao Fenglin's rudeness, Yi Ren Lao, as an old friend, could only try his best to make up for him.

"Lao Mao didn't have such a bad temper before, but he was stimulated too much..."

"You and the kid Shiqi should know each other. The one next to him can tell from the name. He is the apprentice that Lao Mao just accepted. Seventeen and Eighteen. Before them, Lao Mao had sixteen disciples, but they all died. More than 20 years ago, Mao Shan had an extremely gifted disciple who betrayed his religion and took away an iron-clad zombie that they enshrined for generations. In the end, the Iron Armored Corpse was destroyed, and all five of his direct disciples died trying to suppress the Iron Armored Corpse. As for the traitor, he is still missing. Since then, Lao Mao’s mentality has changed drastically..."

Mao Fenglin's eldest apprentice is also his biological son, and his only son.

Mao Shan originally had many secret techniques for raising ghosts and raising zombies. For a period of time, Mao Shan was able to stand out from the Taoist sect because of those zombie ghosts whose combat power increased greatly after refining. However, in the past thousand years, there have been many disciples carrying zombies. Ghosts apostate, and then turn to the evil way, relying on this kind of evil to cause harm to the people, the corpse refining sect of the evil cultivator sect was split from the Mao Shan traitors, so the Taoist sect has always had different praises and criticisms for the Mao Shan faction, even Mao Shan Internally, there is also a chain of contempt for cultivation.

After that incident, Mao Fenglin faintly separated from Mao Shan, and he took in many disciples, almost every disciple took subduing demons as their mission, and they would never stop facing evil cultivators.

The sixteen disciples before Mao Shiqi had all died, and now Mao Shiba was taken in again, probably because he was afraid that something might happen to Mao Shiqi.

The evaluation of Mao Fenglin is very polarized. Some people think that he is too extreme and hurt his apprentice. Some people think that although his approach is a bit extreme, it is not wrong. It is not that he wants to see his apprentice encounter evil cultivators and sacrifice. Yes, those things should have been killed, but the apprentices taught by Mao Fenglin were too proactive in killing evil spirits. If Mao Fenglin was wrong, wouldn’t it imply that the Special Affairs Bureau’s encirclement and suppression of the Fair Society was also wrong? .

After listening to Yi Renlao's explanation, Gu Chu slowly put a question mark in his heart.

Because he resented the evil cultivators, most of the apprentices he taught died at the hands of the evil cultivators or died together with the evil cultivators?

Of the eighteen apprentices, one has just been accepted, one is still alive, and all others are dead!

Gu Chu didn't know if it was because the old man only taught his own apprentices how he was still alive?

It was because he was too capable that his apprentices didn't inherit it, or because he was lucky, he never encountered a big monster in his life.

After hearing this story, Gu Chu didn't feel shocked at all, but only thought about why he let him accept his apprentice? As far as he is at the level of teaching one to die, if he has the time to teach apprentices, can't he kill a few ghosts by himself?
