Yanshan Records

Chapter 18

The two swords in the showcase in the picture are placed side by side, and their positions are exactly the same, but Gu Su can be sure that it is not a "fish master".Although the appearance is imitated, the inscription on the sword reads "Yu Shuai".

This kind of script is a variant of seal script, which was popular among the nobles of the ancient Jin state for a while, but it was abandoned because it was too complicated.The variants are a bit far from the true shape of the characters, and the horizontal and vertical strokes become curved. The inscriptions on the black iron tokens unearthed at the same time are not like that. They are between seal script and modern characters.In this variant font, the difference between the character "Shi" and the character "Shuai" is very subtle, and it cannot be found without careful comparison.

Gu Su returned the phone to Secretary Lin and entered the office first. Fu Zongming followed in and closed the door, asking, "Are you going to watch it?"

"There should be nothing to see." Gu Su's tone was a little uncertain, "There must be a lot of people there now, and any traces of the scene have been destroyed. If it is caused by evil things, it will not stay there now, and it is The scope of the Gu family's responsibility will be resolved by them."

Fu Zongming didn't know why he suddenly remembered what Yao Xin said that day: "Gu Su, father Gu Lianhai? You are right. Ordinary people might believe it, but you can't fool me."

Xiao Su seemed to have no other family members. Fu Zongming only knew that he had called a so-called cousin, and a mother, and Cui Lifei, who he had met before and could not tell if he was a family member.Before that, he never mentioned his father, whether he avoided talking about it, or he never thought of such a person at all.

Gu Su said: "I don't have time these few nights, I'm going to the city gate tower."

The city gate tower is not a real city tower, but that area in the ancient map used to be a city gate. After years of dynasties, the scope of the city has expanded, and historical relics have been buried deep underground in the previous dynasty. In a bustling commercial district, the city gate tower is now just a place name that does not match the real name.

Zhongyuan is still a week away, and he will start inspections from tonight. Yuan Zhengqi will not mention the city gate tower to him for no reason, there must be some hints, and he will pay more attention to it.

After get off work, Gu Su sternly refused Fu Zongming to follow him. He didn't think it was appropriate for Fu Zongming to go to that kind of place.The area around the ghost gate is inherently dark, and all the demons and ghosts gathered there are not good-natured.

Going home first to feed the dog and himself, Gu Su took the bus and got off at Chengmenlou Station. An antique archway stood at the entrance of the street. This kind of building built later is not interesting. There are several 800-year-old archways in Rong Town. It's not rare anymore.Gu Su glanced at it, then looked away.

Across the road from the city gate tower is a construction site. Dust is flying in the air, and a row of iron sheets surround the construction site.It was still dark at this time, and people could be seen coming and going on the construction site from a distance. From time to time, large trucks entered and exited the construction site, transporting reinforced concrete.

Gu Su is going to go to the commercial street first, and find the nightclub called "Yuyou" to check out.He turned around to leave, but saw a man standing on the side of the road with a dazed expression, as if he wanted to cross the road, but the zebra crossing was clearly about twenty meters away from him.

Gu Su frowned and stopped, not looking at the man, but at the woman in red behind him.The woman was tall and slender, with long jet black hair hanging behind her head, gently swaying in the breeze, and she was eye-catching just by her back view.When she noticed something, she turned around suddenly, and a pair of red eyes shot straight at Gu Su, as if to warn him not to meddle in his own business.

Gu Su was a little innocent, and he didn't want to care about it.

He just turned his gaze back when he heard a shout: "Sir, it's very dangerous on the side of the road!"

A girl ran over, seemingly inadvertently running past the woman, a small string of copper coins on the backpack pendant swayed, making a crisp sound of metal clashing.

There are five copper coins in the string, commonly known as "five emperors' coins", which can drive away evil spirits and avoid ghosts and can also be used as decorations.When she ran, the copper coin swayed from side to side, leaving two bright red scratches on her arm as it passed by the woman in red.

The woman took a few steps back, clutching her arms, and stared at the girl who suddenly appeared, but the girl seemed to be unable to see her, and pointed the way to the man: "Brother, the zebra crossing is over there, and there are too many cars at this intersection." , very dangerous."

The man's face was a little dazed, and he came back to his senses when he heard her speak, stepped back a few steps to the middle of the sidewalk, thanked her repeatedly, and then hurried away.

The woman in red looked at the girl coldly, and disappeared in place.

The girl showed a smug smile, turned around and continued to wait for the bus.Turning around, she found that Gu Su was also looking at her, trotting over with surprise on her face: "Cousin Minister! I'm Peng Sijia."

Gu Su didn't have much impression of her, but he obviously disapproved of her behavior just now, and his tone was a little cold: "That man's life is not in danger, why are you meddling?"

Peng Sijia was stunned by his sudden accusation: "I know there is no danger to my life... But I don't know that the female ghost is here. There are frequent accidents here, who knows who will come to find a scapegoat..."

"She's not a dead ghost." Gu Su felt a little helpless, "She's a ghost."

Most of the evil ghosts are doing the work of escorting the souls of the undead to return home at night, which can be regarded as a kind of ghosts in the underworld.Seven days after the death of the undead, it is called "sha", and the ghost will follow and escort.Ancient books record that it looks like a bird, but there are also ancient books that record that it looks like a cat. Therefore, there is a saying that if the corpse is not buried but touches a cat, the corpse will change. This is possible.

It can be guessed that most likely it was due to encountering evil spirits and escorting the undead back home, and the undead returned to its original body to cause trouble.

"..." Peng Sijia shrank his shoulders, his voice trembling, "You mean..."

"She glanced at you when she left." Gu Su said with a straight face.

Peng Sijia looked like she was about to cry: "Don't scare me, okay?" Is this pair of cousins ​​in the same line of love and scare people?She is really a little scared!

"You..." Gu Su paused, looked over Peng Sijia to the construction site across the road behind her, with a look of anxiety on his brows, as if he had seen Man Ah.

"I won't tell you more, just pay attention next time." Gu Su dropped a sentence and walked quickly towards the zebra crossing. Peng Sijia thought for half a second and decided to follow.

It just so happened that the traffic light changed to green. Gu Su crossed the road and followed the wall to find the entrance. Peng Sijia followed him. He expected that the other party had no time to answer, so he didn't ask him what he was doing. He just felt that his face changed so quickly. , Something terrible must have happened.

Gu Su found the entrance and was about to go in, but was stopped by the construction site security: "Who are you? You can't go in without a certificate."

The construction site is a special location, and strangers are not allowed to enter casually. There are flying bricks and rocks, and machinery is booming. If there is any accident, who will pay for it?

Even if he was blocked outside, he couldn't force his way in. Gu Su could only stand at the door and look inside. The workers dragged the bricks and cement and walked quickly. The construction site was very busy, and there were still many people standing on the half-built building.He didn't see Man'a, but he was sure that even if Man'a was not here, at least he had been here for a long time.

The mechanical arm of the excavator on the construction site rotated flexibly. The car with claws that Man'a mentioned must be an excavator.

Peng Sijia noticed a big truck coming from behind, and quickly pulled Gu Su aside: "There's a truck coming."

Gu Su was a little embarrassed and said thank you.He looked at the time, it was already getting late, the first time the gate of the ghost world opened was at twelve o'clock tonight, obviously Peng Sijia was not suitable to be here.

"What is Miss Peng doing here?" Gu Su asked suddenly.

"Ah? I'm coming... My mother, why am I here?" Peng Sijia frowned and thought hard, Gu Su was speechless for a while, and said as if guiding: "You were waiting for the bus just now, are you going home?" ?”

"Yes." Peng Sijia replied, but she still didn't remember why she came here.

"Then don't think about it, go back first, I have something to do, so I won't accompany you any longer." Gu Su turned around to leave after speaking, but Peng Sijia grabbed him.

"I remembered what I did here." Peng Sijia said seriously, "A monster was killed here."

Gu Su stopped and looked back at her: "A monster?"

Peng Sijia's tone was affirmative: "Yes, a snake demon."

That snake demon has settled in this city very early, he is romantic by nature, he is not afraid of transgressions, and has countless lovers.He is like a hungry ghost, he will pester anyone who looks good, but because of the strict management of the Ministry of National Defense, he doesn't dare to be too presumptuous, and it's fine if the other party refuses a few times.Therefore, he doesn't go to other places to harass men and women from good families, and he likes to hunt for beauty at night in this city gate tower.

"Gu Yinhan, who is in charge of this area, is getting off work, and he hasn't returned to report in time, so the minister sent me to find him."

"Did you find it?" Gu Su asked.

Peng Sijia said: "I found it. He said he found a suspicious person and chased after him, but he ran away and time wasted."

Gu Su felt a little uncertain: "Did he say what the suspicious person looks like?"

Peng Sijia said naively: "I said it! He said that the man was abnormally tall, two meters tall, had a huge target, and was covered in pitch black. He ran away when he saw him, which was very suspicious. Who knew that the big targets were all killed He got lost."

Gu Su felt a little guilty, and sweat broke out on his forehead, as if he had done something wrong.It's not a big mistake that needs to be shouted and killed, but it's the kind of existence that has a little sense of being equal, which makes people feel a little awkward for no reason.Fortunately, he was lost, otherwise he would have to go to Yuan Junce to bring Man Ah back in full view.

Gu Su nodded and said, "I see, you should go back first."

"Then be careful. There are a lot of monsters here. If you have something to do, just light up the cloud amulet. No one dares to do anything to you." Things have been forgotten.

Gu Su waved goodbye, determined in his heart that he still couldn't let Man Ah run around outside.

After walking around Chengmenlou Street for more than half, Gu Su finally found the nightclub called "Yuyou". It was getting dark outside, but the nightclub was noisy, and the music inside could be heard even standing outside the door.

Gu Su raised his foot and approached the half-open door, passing through the four or five meter long foyer, the formal hall was at the corner.When Gu Su walked down the steps, everyone present suddenly fell silent and looked in his direction, followed by noisy whispers.

"Is it the Gu family boy?"

"No... your face blindness is getting worse."

Gu Su looked expressionless, glanced around, and said: "The gate of hell is about to open. I am the inspector this time, the envoy of Yan Luoyang from the Tenth Hall, Gu Su. Patrol as usual, and please cooperate with each other."

The monster beside the counter laughed for a while, and gradually lost control of the volume, laughing together.

"The inspectors never go through this door, do you think we are easy to fool?" When monsters entered the ghost world in the past, they only saw the inspectors from afar, and what's more, they never saw them. The envoys of different people take turns to serve as inspectors, and the yin and yang envoys appear in pairs. How can anyone just come and say it is them and they will believe it?

That's right, in the past, Master Ban used to go to the ghost world through the gate of Rong Town, and seldom went from other places. Even if he was out of town, he would try to return before the time limit.Shizong deals with humans and ghosts, but he is not the same with monsters. Master Ban once said that you are not polite when you are outside. If others are polite, he will be polite, and if others are rude, he will speak according to his strength.

"The messengers have appeared here, what questions do you have?" Gu Su's face remained unchanged, his tone was a little cold, they should have seen the little black cat.

A rat demon winked at his companion, and walked over with a wine glass: "Yinxin, we want to see the Yinxin from the Yang envoy."

Gu Su's eyelids moved, his expression turned cold: "Don't be too presumptuous."

"Bluuf doesn't work for us." One of the monsters said this, Gu Su glanced over coldly, as if to find out who it was, but the monster who spoke didn't have the guts to stand up right now.

"Yes." Gu Su withdrew his gaze, formed a seal with his hands, and formed a hollow between his palms. A few golden lights gradually leaked out from between his fingers. After a few breaths, the golden light flourished, illuminating the entire hall, and there was no shadow in every corner. was left behind.

Under the auspicious light, the monsters with low morality faintly showed some signs of their original form, and those with advanced morality did not dare to act rashly.Ordinarily, a Taoist priest would be killed if he killed him, but to kill the yang envoy of the underworld is to offend Yama.

A seal slowly appeared in front of Gu Su's hands, but the golden light pierced all the monsters present with squinted eyes, unable to see clearly.Gu Su said in a deep voice, "Can you see clearly?"

The big monsters present did not respond, and some little monsters who couldn't stand the golden light wailed: "It's clear! It's clear!"

But they are not people who can talk, Gu Su ignored him, the golden light in his hand became stronger and stronger, and finally someone on the second floor said: "Yang Shi, you can stop."

The sound was as loud as a bell, almost shaking the room.Gu Su let go of his hand, calmly ignored all the monsters present, and walked towards the back of the nightclub.

The real sect doesn't teach much about other things, but it does have a few practical skills in exorcising evil spirits and suppressing demons.

The ghost gate opens in a cubicle of the nightclub toilet, which is not a bad idea, ghost gates have openings everywhere, but there is a building built here, and the toilet cubicle happens to be at the ghost gate.The place where the ghost gate is located is very cloudy, and ordinary people can't stay there for a long time. At the least, they will suffer from illness, and at worst, their homes will be destroyed. There are several stores in the shopping mall that have sold this facade one after another. The business is bleak and the losses are serious. Yue moved away, and finally made a gathering place for these monsters, which is very suitable.

The ghost gate has not fully appeared yet, Gu Su looked around and waited slowly leaning against the wall.

The monsters in the main hall of the nightclub had red eyes, as if they had watched a tear-jerking movie together.The rat demon rubbed his still-stinging eyes: "Oh my god... can this kind of person who strikes at the slightest disagreement be able to make sense in a civilized society!"

The tiger demon Lei Yubin came down from the second floor with a serious expression on his face: "Do you think He Yuan was killed by him?"

He Yuan was the snake demon who was killed. Although Lei Yubin didn't have much friendship with him, suddenly a companion was killed, which would inevitably arouse vigilance.

"I think... the technique is very similar." Said the rabbit demon on the side.Although he is a herbivore, Daoxing ranks first among all the demons present.

"Of course not him."

A soft female voice seemed to carry a hint of resentment coming from the corner cubicle, behind the beaded curtain, the whole figure of the woman could not be seen clearly.A small candle was lit on the round table, and the glass wine glass held by the woman reflected the shattered light of the fire. With a slight shake of her wrist, the light of the fire shattered into pieces in the soft waves of the wine.

"Boss, do you know who it is?"

The woman behind the bead curtain is the boss of "Yuyou".Lei Yubin had some scruples about this woman. Although he knew she was a ghost, he didn't know where it came from.Although he might not lose the fight, the animal's nature of avoiding evil is warning him not to provoke this woman easily.He felt a little uncomfortable under Gu Su's auspicious light just now, but this woman didn't react at all.

"I don't know either." The woman tilted her head, as if she was coquettish, "However, as long as the soul is not scattered, death is just the beginning of another journey."

All the monsters wisely did not get entangled in this matter, and continued to drink and revel.Not long after, another person broke into the door suddenly, and the person who came was Gu Yinhan who was in charge of this area.

He squinted his eyes slightly, ran a little hurriedly, and said straight to the point: "Did someone named Gu Su come here just now?"

The monsters present looked at each other in blank dismay, obviously not quite reacting to his abnormal appearance.Gu Yinhan was a little impatient: "I've already seen the golden light, so just tell me where he went."

The tiger demon's expression darkened, the other party was from the Ministry of Survival, and he wanted to save some face.He stretched out his hand and pointed at the sign indicating the direction of the bathroom.Gu Yinhan cupped his fists and said thank you, then rushed to the bathroom aggressively.

Gu Su leaned against the wall and waited quietly. When the bathroom door was pushed open forcefully, he only glanced slightly sideways, and then looked back.

Gu Yinhan said coldly: "Did you go to Director Yao's?"

"He was still alive when I went, that was a few days ago." Gu Su said softly.

"After you went there, he died." Gu Yinhan said.

Gu Su turned his face to him and watched silently.Gu Yinhan took a step forward: "Why are you going to the museum?"

"Shizong has a commandment, not to have grievances with the living, not to hurt the lives of the living, why do you think it's me?" Gu Su asked suspiciously.

"I didn't say it was you." Gu Yinhan returned to his expressionless face.

Gu Su stood up straight: "But every word of yours seems to be saying it's me."

"I just think it has something to do with you, but you don't know it." Gu Yinhan's words were meaningful.

"Since I don't know it, it's useless for you to come to me." Gu Su looked down at his watch, the countdown had officially started.

Three, two, one, open.Gu Su raised his head, opened the door of the cubicle in front of him without saying a word and stepped in. He didn't want to talk to Gu Yinhan.

Gu Yinhan was a little annoyed by Gu Su's resistance, but he had to admit that Gu Su was telling the truth.

His jurisdiction has been very uneasy recently. First, lone ghosts and wild ghosts ran around, and several of them disappeared without realizing it. Then, He Yuan was killed in the dark alley where he often led people to have sex, and was cut open. The stomach took the snake gall.Now the museum where the Gu family was in charge of the exorcism had an accident. Although the curator died of a heart attack, it was not wrong to die from excessive fright.

Gu Yinhan intuitively felt that all this had something to do with Gu Su, but Gu Su's performance was flawless, and he really didn't know.

There is also the Yushi sword. Ordinary people may have to appraise it from the aspect of cultural relics appreciation, but he doesn't need it. The moment he stepped into the underground exhibition hall, he already knew that the "Yushi" was a fake.

The monstrous resentment began to gradually dissipate, and even the resentment and deep-seated hatred of the armored soldiers in the tomb had disappeared.That doesn't mean the resentment has resolved, it can only mean one thing - they have woken up from their deep sleep, left this place, and went to revenge.

In an old residential building, most of the residents had already rested in the early morning, and only a few windows were lit.

Everything is silent, all the doors are closed, there is no light in the corridor, only a little moonlight casts in on a clear night by the two windows at the front and back ends.But today there is not even moonlight, and it is almost completely dark.

The armored soldier, who was surrounded by turbid and rotten air, was wandering outside the corridor. The sharp-edged dual knives in his hands were slightly drawn across the ground, leaving a black scratch.The armored soldier holding the bronze sword moved slowly, and stood motionless in front of a door.Gradually, other armored soldiers also gathered over, and thick black mist rolled in, covering most of the body.

They hold all kinds of weapons in their hands, such as bows, arrows, daggers, and spears, but the armor on their bodies is uniform.

The evil spirits struggled in resentment and pain, and turned the struggle into anger, pulling them into a darker abyss.

It's right here...it's right here...

"Roar————" One after another, thick roars came from inside the door. The huge sound set off sound waves, as if to shake the bones under the heavy armor of the armored soldiers, and the messy withered hair fluttered around. It turned into powder in an instant.

The patriarch passed away like a golden light, and felt the dirty things outside the door disappear. Huben thought he was scared away by himself, and excitedly took a few steps on the spot, wagging his little tail happily.

Go to sleep!
