The winter solstice was so excited that he couldn't fall asleep. As soon as Zhong Yu left, he tossed and turned on the bed in the room and baked pancakes for half an hour, still in good spirits.

Oh my god, he actually invited Zhengshen for the first time, how can there be such a genius in the world!

Well, be humble, be humble, and genius is to be humble too.

He narrowed his eyes for three minutes and suddenly thought of a serious question.

Since it is a clairvoyant, then what he saw just now should all be real?

Long Shen is in a meeting.

underwater.

Japanese.

The more I thought about the winter solstice, the more wrong I got. I got up and turned on my phone, and sent a message to Long Shen: Long Bureau, are you free now? I have something to tell you.

After waiting for a while, the phone rang, and it was actually Long Shen who called.

He hurriedly picked it up: "Long Ju, why did you call?"

Long Shen: "Didn't you say something happened?"

It seems that he has left a reliable impression in the other party's mind. When he says something, the other party thinks that it should be serious business.

He was proud for a second, and quickly cut to the business: "Did you have a meeting just now? About half an hour ago, was it in a conference room with Bureau Wu sitting on the left and Bureau Song on the right?"

There was a pause: "Yes."

The winter solstice talked about the three scenes that he had just seen through clairvoyance.

Long Shen paid special attention to the second scene: "What else did you see in the water besides the water corpse?"

The winter solstice tried hard to recall: "No, it's just the bottom of an ordinary lake... Oh, right, there seems to be a building in the distance, but I can't see it clearly, I was quickly pulled away, and I didn't stay for a long time. But Those water corpses are very strange, their postures are still the same as before, I thought they were stone statues at first."

Long Shen: "What about the clothes, what dynasty?"

Winter Solstice: "Can't tell, but judging from their hairstyles, it shouldn't be modern."

Long Shen pondered: "In the third scene, did you see the appearance of the man in the cloak at the end?"

Winter Solstice: "No. I saw you look up at me just now. Did you really see me?"

Long Shen: "I can only feel a sense of peeping, but I can't see anything."

Winter Solstice hurriedly said: "Then I suspect that the man in the cloak may have sensed my peeping. The last hand he stretched out was a white bone!"

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

Winter Solstice: "Dragon Bureau?"

"Yes." Long Shen said, "Don't ask God for these few days, and in the future, don't use this spell lightly."

"But……"

"Did you hear that?"

The other party's tone became severe, and although the winter solstice was unclear, he had to agree.

Long Shen said: "If you encounter anything strange again, call me at any time."

After a pause, he said again: "Have a good rest."

Winter Solstice said obediently: "Okay, goodbye."

Long Shen, who hung up the phone, stared blankly at the documents on the desktop. His thoughts had already flown far away.

With a slight movement of his slender fingers, he dialed He Yu's number.

On the other end of the phone, there was still the dangling voice: "Hello, the number you dialed is temporarily out of the service area, please call again later."

Long Shen: "He Yu."

Hearing this stormy tone, He Yu quickly returned to dogleg mode: "Hey, you ordered!"

Long Shen: "How is the progress over there now?"

He Yu: "Hey, don't mention it, the place where the accident happened is near Laoheishan. We have searched all over, and we only need to dig three feet in the ground. The waters in that area are also taking turns every day. There are no water ghosts! By the way, boss, we have been feeding mosquitoes for a month here, so it’s not a problem if we go on like this, when can we go back?”

Long Shen asked, "Apart from Lao Montenegro, what about other places?"

He Yudao: "Fuxian Lake is really too big. If you search for a little bit along the coast, there may not be any results in half a year. The waters in that place are rushing up and down, I don't know how many dark water holes there are, and I don't know where they lead to. Here, Chaosheng goes into the water every day now, I want to see, if I can't fix it, I have to ask Zong Lao to go out!"

Long Shen ignored his gag: "Don't just go to the Laoheishan area, go down to the coastal waters, including the center of the lake."

He Yu smelled an unusual smell: "Boss, have you found something?"

Long Shen said: "For the third group, I will tell Song Zhicun, you make Chaosheng work harder."

He Yu: "Okay, I'll tell him."

After finishing the call with He Yu, Long Shen thought for a while, and dialed Zhong Yuyi's number again.

...

The next day, when the Winter Solstice came together, received a notice from Zhong Yuyi.

They want to end the course here early.

Not only him, but everyone else was inexplicable, but Zhong Yu said that this was the notice from above, and everyone had to return to the city ahead of schedule with confusion.

They ended the course here, while Li Ying and the others just started under the leadership of Ding Lan. That is to say, they have to wait for Li Ying and the others to return before starting the next stage of the course together.

And during this time, they will mean free movement and nothing to do.

Everyone came to apply for the special administration bureau, and passed the written test and interview. No one else said, at least Gu Meiren and the others, they must not have come with the mentality of messing around. Now they have an extra vacation for no reason, and they can't learn anything. , anyone will feel depressed.

"Did Lao Zhong reveal the course for the next stage?"

After we came back to eat together, someone asked about the winter solstice.

Winter Solstice smiled bitterly: "No, he is also strange."

Zhong Yuyi didn't have much air, and after the two or three days everyone got acquainted, everyone stopped calling Mr. Zhong, and instead called the old Zhong old Zhong.

Gu Meiren comforted: "There should be arrangements above, so let's take a rest."

Chi Banxia held her chin and sighed: "If I knew earlier, it would be better to go to Li Ying and the others. I heard that they met a tough idea in the tomb yesterday, and they seem to be just flying stiff."

The so-called "flying zombie" is a classification of zombies, and tomb robbers are collectively referred to as "zongzi". It takes at least a hundred years for zombies to go from ordinary corpses to flying zombies. The flying zombies are covered with white hair and walk like flying, so they are called flying zombies. The tombs where zombies will be formed must be extremely fierce places where wind and water are absolutely suffocated, but there are also situations like what Longshen said to the winter solstice last time. It was originally a good place for geomantic feng shui, but it was artificially changed to one that is fierce in the outside world. to deceive unsuspecting latecomers.

For ordinary people, it is bad luck to encounter such a situation. don’t know how many tomb robbers have died on the way of tomb robbing. The last time is equal to one more experience, not to mention that there are many seniors leading the team, and there are many people, so there is generally not much danger.

So when they heard that Li Ying and the others encountered Fei Zong, everyone's first reaction was not fear, but envy.

Chi Banxia: "I heard from Li Ying that next year's World Exchange Conference, we will send representatives to participate, and we newcomers will also have a certain quota. At that time, we will have one less training than them. I wonder if it will affect the recommendation qualifications?"

Gu Meiren: "Probably not. After all, it is not our initiative to withdraw this time, but the decision above."

Zhou Yuedao: "I'm not worried about the qualifications for recommendation. Such an important event at an international level must be very competitive. Not only the newcomers, but also the elderly will definitely want to go. If we can pass the training, there should be arrangements in the bureau. "

Ouyang Yin smiled and said: "Our family has been helping people to see feng shui for generations, and occasionally we will encounter one or two difficult things. If you want to experience, if you run into it later, I will let you know. Of course, it must be paid. ."

Everyone said that remuneration is the second priority, and it is better to have something to do than to be idle every day.

Even if he doesn't practice, there are still a lot of things to do on the winter solstice. His comic series is reaching the key plot, and more and more people are chasing it. Every day, he is waiting to be fed under the comments, urging him to update, and he climbs the stairs to the rooftop to practice every day. He didn't fall behind, and his life was full of arrangements. However, he didn't express his opinion hastily. Everyone said that he listened obediently while holding his cheeks, while thinking about the scene of asking God to go up to him before, and thinking of Long Shen in the meeting.

During the meeting, everyone else was bored. Long Shen listened carefully and took notes from time to time. Maybe after he went back, he could try to copy the other person's eyes to solve the trouble that he couldn't draw eyes on the portrait before.

But the last two scenes seemed very strange. Listening to Long Shen's tone, he seemed to know where the second scene was. And that Japanese man, very familiar, where did he see it?

A pot of beef in sour soup was served, which finally relieved everyone's depression and diverted the attention of the winter solstice.

Everyone feasted and ate very happily. After the meal was finished, they made an appointment to come back and contact each other again, and everyone left.

The Winter Solstice declined the invitation of others to take him for a ride, saying that he wanted to take a walk after dinner, so he walked along the street alone.

As he was walking, he suddenly discovered that the street in front was the antique street where Long Shen brought himself that night to get the Green Master Sword.

Thinking of this, the winter solstice couldn't help but give up the idea of ​​taking a taxi back and walked towards the antique shop instead.

In broad daylight, the antique shop is naturally open, and the old man was watching the shop last time.

The uncle is also very familiar with him. When he saw him coming in, he first wanted to say hello, and then hesitantly said, "Young guy is kind?"

Winter Solstice said with a smile: "I came with Long Ju that night and took your Green Master Sword, do you still remember?"

"It turned out to be you, remember!" The uncle suddenly slapped his forehead. "The light was dark that night, so I couldn't see clearly. No wonder my face is familiar. Hurry up and sit down!"

He greeted the winter solstice and sat down on a chair.

Winter Solstice smiled and said, "What's your name?"

"Just call me Uncle Qian, how about that, is that blue master sword still useful?"

The Winter Solstice wondered, "How do you know it was for me?"

Uncle Qian laughed and said, "I've known Long Ju for so many years, and I've never seen him bring someone over to get a sword, so that sword must be for you."

The winter solstice was happy and asked, "How many years have you known him?"

Uncle Qian: "It must be twenty years younger."

Winter Solstice was surprised: "So many years? Was the Dragon Bureau very young at that time?"

Uncle Qian smiled: "Why, it's the same as 20 years ago, it hasn't changed much."

At the winter solstice, my heart moved, thoughtful.

"By the way," Uncle Qian thought of something, and said, "I have a bronze mirror here, which someone just brought over. I want to help you with palms and eyes, and make a price. You are the apprentice of the Dragon Bureau, and you must understand it. Help me see it!"

Winter Solstice wondered: "Why do you think I'm the apprentice of the Dragon Bureau?"

Uncle Qian: "Looking at you, you look like someone's apprentice. Is it possible that you are still a son?"

The winter solstice had just drank a sip of water, and when he heard the words, he almost spit it out.

"It's better to be an apprentice!"

Uncle Qian laughed: "That's not it!"

Touching his nose on the winter solstice, he wanted to call Long Shen as Master, for fear that the other party would not respond.

Uncle Qian took out the box containing the bronze mirror.

"According to my speculation, the age of this mirror is probably before the Zhou Dynasty, but I'm not sure, maybe even earlier."

The Zhou Dynasty was earlier, isn't that only the period of Xia, Shang and even the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors?

The winter solstice was very surprised, and carefully observed the bronze mirror with the hand of the uncle.

The engraved pattern on the back of the mirror is not an ordinary Tujili flower, bird and bat, but... a phoenix?

Behind the phoenix, there seem to be hills and mountains, and the sun rises in the east.

"To tell you the truth, I don't know anything about antique identification. I'm afraid this will have to be done by the Dragon Bureau."

Generally, the bronze is oxidized for a long time, and the characters and patterns on the bronze ware will be discolored and blurred to varying degrees, but this mirror is at least 70% or 80% new, so new that people suspect that it is fake.

Winter Solstice couldn't help but ask: "Uncle Qian, the pattern on the mirror is so new..."

Uncle Qian lowered his voice: "I know what you are worried about. The pattern is new, and it may just be taken out of the anaerobic environment."

Winter Solstice understood: "You mean it was just unearthed not long ago?"

Uncle Qian nodded: "The person who brought it over is an acquaintance of my junior, but he is a second-hand dealer who is in charge of changing hands, and he doesn't go to the grave himself. Occasionally, there are new things in hand, and there is a letter on the mirror, I can't see it. I understand, you help me show it to the Dragon Bureau, if the origin is not clean, I don't want it."

Obituary?

The winter solstice looked at the back of the mirror carefully, and found that there were indeed some strange symbols. He didn't notice it just now. When Uncle Qian said this, he remembered that when he was on the train, he saw a fairy tale book in the soft sleeper workshop. When he opened it, it was a notebook full of runes he didn't recognize. He Yu later said that it was Long Shen's notebook.

On the note, there are vaguely such words.

"What is a swear word?"

"This kind of writing originally originated from the ancestors, at least in the Xia Dynasty or earlier, and some people say that it is the writing of the gods. In a country, only the great witch in charge of sacrifices can understand it. Gradually withering away, it is said that there are still a few villages in the area of ​​Guizhou who have this kind of writing. They are respected as 'Ghost Masters', and the writing has also become a communication between Yin and Yang. It is specially written for the dead and written in the writing. It is generally called the Book of Death, or the Book of Rebirth."

Winter Solstice: "Dragon Bureau understands the text?"

Uncle Qian said with a smile: "So this matter can only be left to him."

Winter Solstice hesitated: "Uncle Qian, if this is stolen goods...?"

Wouldn't it have caused trouble for Long Shen instead?

Uncle Qian: "Don't worry, the Dragon Bureau knows how to deal with it, and I don't want to accept those that are not clean, and I don't want to ask for trouble, but you have to tell him that if you want to return to Zhao in three days, the other party will come to pick it up, you can't take things first. After handing over, they want to recover it or whatever, that is their business, but I can't let my small business go on."

The winter solstice laughed: "Uncle Qian, you are also called a small business? The Dragon Bureau told me last time that if you took the jade mountain in your store to the auction house, you could at least sell it for a thousand or two thousand!"

He deliberately omitted a swastika at the back so as not to be eye-catching.

Uncle Qian couldn't help but be a little proud: "What is this, I have a whole piece of rough stone at home, cut a corner, guess what, tsk tsk, it's a watery imperial green! And it's the best! But I didn't let anyone cut it anymore. Go down and wait to pass it on to your descendants!"

The winter solstice gave a thumbs up: "You are a gentleman who loves money, take it in a proper way!"

Uncle Qian was flattered by him, and his attitude became more and more affectionate.

"Don't talk about it, the person who brought me this mirror, listened to that kid, it seems that there are still a few foreigners who are attracted to them and are waiting to raise a high price. I thought about the treasure of our ancestors, No matter what, it can't fall into the hands of foreigners, can it?"

Winter Solstice nodded again and again: "Yes, you are right!"

Uncle Qian: "Actually, there are some real and fake in the antiques industry, and some of them are of unknown origin. Everyone is walking in the gray area. If it is discovered that I reported it to the relevant departments, then I will not be able to get along in this industry. Well, so, this time I also took a risk, in any case, you must bring me the mirror back in three days."

Winter Solstice put the mirror in his backpack and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I promise to hand over the items to the Dragon Bureau as soon as I go back, but you really believe in me, and you don't say that my ID card will be seized or anything. Let me take away such a precious thing?"

Uncle Qian: "Long Ju is willing to bring you here, that's enough!"

Winter Solstice is a little guilty: "But I haven't been able to call Master a word yet."

Uncle Qian squinted: "Are you not diligent enough, not religious enough?"

Winter Solstice looked wronged: "I wish I could invite him to eat three meals a day. That's not enough hospitality? I'm afraid he'll be annoyed when he sees me too much!"

Uncle Qian laughed: "That's how he is. How do you say it in the words of my grandson? Boring, boring?"

Winter Solstice: "Stupid?"

Uncle Qian: "Yes, it's just boring! You have to do what you like."

The winter solstice is cute: "Then can you teach me?"

Uncle Qian: "It doesn't mean you have to give something. Long Ju is serious in his work. You have to be more serious in front of him. Learn and ask more about everything. You are not afraid of making a fool of yourself, but you are afraid that you don't understand and pretend to understand."

Winter Solstice nodded and was taught: "Then does he have any hobbies?"

Uncle Qian thought for a while: "It doesn't seem to be there. He occasionally holds ancient swords and puts them on consignment with me, and also asks me to help me keep an eye on them. I asked him if he likes to collect ancient swords, and he said no. Having said that, he usually lives like an ascetic, and doesn't drink or drink, so I really don't know what he has... Oh, by the way, there was a stray cat at the door before, but I saw him feed it a few times."

Winter Solstice: "Have you never seen Long Ju have a girlfriend or wife for so many years?"

Uncle Qian said with a smile: "I haven't seen it before. You are the first one who was brought to me by him, but I know that your practitioners are different from ordinary people. It is said that there are many bachelors in your special management bureau. Too busy, if you can help him introduce a girlfriend, let alone an apprentice, it should be no problem to be a godson!"

Winter Solstice muttered, would you like to introduce yourself to him?

Uncle Qian didn't hear clearly: "What did you say?"

"It's nothing," Winter Solstice said with a smile, "the task you gave me is guaranteed to be completed."

Uncle Qian nodded with satisfaction: "By the way, there is a sword here, which I newly acquired. It is said to be the saber of Sun Quan during the Three Kingdoms period. Go, it may be slightly inferior to Qingzhujian, you help me go back and ask the Dragon Bureau to see if he wants..."

At this time, a young man came in.

"Uncle Qian!"

Uncle Qian raised his head: "Ah Shun, why are you here so soon? Isn't it time yet?"

There were a few stains on Ah Shun's T-shirt. His hair looked like he hadn't cut it for a long time, so he simply tied it at the back, and he walked in with a smile.

"Yo, are there any guests?"

"What's up?"

Ah Shun glanced at the winter solstice and said that it was all right, but sat down on the sofa and shook Erlang's legs.

The winter solstice was about to leave, but Uncle Qian held him down: "This is my eldest nephew!"

Ah Shun smiled and said, "It turns out that he is the eldest nephew, not bad, he is indeed a talented person, and he doesn't look like you at all!"

"Fuck you!" Uncle Qian scolded with a smile, "If you have a fart, let it go!"

Ah Shun looked back outside and said, "Is that mirror still with you? I'm here to go back."

When Uncle Qian gave him a wink on the Winter Solstice, he immediately understood that this should be the person who sent the bronze mirror last time.

The author has something to say:

Small theater unrelated to the text:

In the winter solstice, when heard that Long Shen had fed stray cats, suddenly realized that the male god is a caring person.

So he deliberately soiled his clothes and messed up his hair, and squatted outside Longshen's bedroom, just waiting to touch the porcelain.

Long Shen went back from get off work and saw him squatting at the door of his bedroom, pitiful: "Long Ju, I was robbed and I have no food to eat. Can I hang out with you recently?"

Long Shen: "Exactly, you made a contribution last time, and the bonus has not been distributed yet. There are 20,000. Come and fill out the form with me to receive it."

winter solstice:……
