Chapter 22 – 1000 Nutrient Solution Plus More
After the third episode ended, the assistant Xiao Zhou bought Gu Zhisang a ticket back to the city in advance, and she received a summons invitation from the Rongcheng Police Station as soon as she got off the plane.
The signature of the text message is the Lingcheng Branch of Rongcheng.
The system jumped out and asked, “Sangsang, are you going?”
Gu Zhisang put away his phone, “Well, let’s go and have a look.”
Before she left Southern Province, Gu Xuechun had mentioned a few words to her cryptically, saying that the official special metaphysics department he belongs to is very interested in her, and it is very likely that he will ask her some questions;
It just so happened that Gu Zhisang himself was somewhat curious about the metaphysical organization of this world.
Only then did she know that Xuanmen and Lingzu are two completely different organizations.
The former is a non-governmental organization headed by several major metaphysics families and sects, which have existed for hundreds of thousands of years. Currently, more than 95% of the metaphysics in Xia Kingdom are restricted and managed by the metaphysics.
A hundred years ago, after the founding of the New Xia Kingdom, there was a lot of waste to be done. At that time, there were often spirits and monsters in the mountains who came out to make trouble. In order to suppress these evil spirits and stabilize the national fortune, the connection between the upper echelon of the country and Taoism was very close.
But monks always feel that they are superior to others, they can spy on the secrets of the heavens and connect to the underworld, relying on the needs of the country to become more rampant, there have been several cases of mysterious masters violating the law, killing people and stealing goods, but in the end they couldn’t catch people and closed them hastily.
Since then, the country has begun to form and cultivate its own mysterious organization, which is the latter: the spiritual group.
It’s a pity that Xuanmen’s roots are huge, and the aristocratic sects inside know that once the official organization grows, their status will inevitably be weakened, and they have been secretly suppressing the development of the spiritual group.
Until now, most of the mystical masters recruited in the spiritual group are idlers who have left the Taoist sect, or some non-metaphysical families with psychic talents, self-taught people, lacking the ability to sit in the command with deep Taoism and strong ability. Unable to compete with Xuanmen.
This has always been a serious problem for the higher-ups.
afternoon—
In the innermost corner of the third floor of Rongcheng Police Station, there is a special department.
There is neither a group name nor a house number on the door on the wall, but it is tacit in the hearts of the police officers: it is rumored that this department is specialized in dealing with supernatural events.
At this time, two young men in plain clothes who looked a little lazy and did not look like serious police officers were sitting at the table playing cards.
The cards in their hands are not poker, each one is painted with strange and twisted oracle bone inscriptions.
“If you stop playing and lose again, paper lottery is not what I’m good at.” The flat-headed man pushed the cards in his hand forward, and said angrily, “It’s almost three o’clock, do you think that Gu Zhisang will really come over? She’s a female star, maybe she won’t even read the messages we sent.”
“Even if you are willing to come over, our department can’t afford it. It is said that celebrities can earn tens of millions a day.” The man with glasses on the opposite side slowly packed up the paper slips.
Suddenly, the middle-aged woman who was sitting at the main desk and working at her desk raised her head, “Shut up, someone is coming.”
Almost the moment she finished speaking, there was a knock on the door from the outside, and a female police officer pushed the door in, “Team Leader Zheng, a Miss Gu is here to see you.”
Gu Zhisang’s figure stepped out from behind.
The woman stood up to greet her, and shook hands with her, “Hi, I’m Zheng Ruyu, the head of the Lingcheng Division of Rongcheng. These two are my subordinates. The tall one is Song Chen, and the one with glasses is Wang Xiaole.”
The two young men smiled stiffly at her.
After sitting down, Zheng Ruyu said with sharp eyes, “Miss Gu, we invited you here this time because we learned that you are not a registered mystic master of the Taoist sect, and would like to ask if you are willing to join our spiritual group?”
They have internal support in Taoism, and the news spread that this Gu Zhisang is not a disciple of any Taoist family or sect.
She suddenly found the emperor’s tomb and contacted the official to take over, which caught Xuanmen by surprise, and some of the Xuanmen inside were outraged and complained.
Now Xuanmen is also investigating her details.
Coupled with the fact that Gu Xuechun went to contact her personally and told her superiors about the female star’s excellent ventilation skills, the headquarters issued an order to Zheng Ruyu, telling her to contact Gu Zhisang before the Xuanmen.
It is best to be able to draw people into the spirit group.
Song Chen answered, “Our Lingzu is a formal department, with staff and work permits. The basic salary is 20,000 yuan and there is a commission for completing tasks. There is no cap!”
Zheng Ruyu glanced at him, nodded and added: “And we also know that Miss Gu is plagued by public opinion and false rumors on the Internet. If you join the Lingzu, you will be a public official. If necessary, we will take action to clean up the Internet for you. false statements.”
These words clearly told Gu Zhisang that there was also a reason why Aite helped her gain popularity like yesterday when the official blog ended.
Gu Zhisang guessed something before she came, and was not particularly surprised, but she still shook her head and said:
“Sorry, I have no intention of joining any organization, not even the Xuanmen Spirit Group. I don’t like to be restricted by rules, but I can guarantee that I will not use metaphysical mathematics to engage in things that violate secular laws.”
In her previous life, she lived in the mountains for more than a hundred years. She didn’t know how to deal with interpersonal relationships at all, and she couldn’t obey others’ orders and be driven.
Zheng Ruyu showed a clear face, pondered for a moment and said:
“I can understand Miss Gu’s thinking, but… if you are alone, you will still be restricted by Taoism.”
Gu Zhisang frowned slightly, “What do you mean?”
“Miss Gu doesn’t know how arrogant and domineering those guys from the Xuanmen are. If you don’t join them, ordinary mystic masters can’t get along at all.” Song Chen said: “They have monopolized several long-established shops that can make talismans and refine medicines, and they are not allowed to take things. Selling to non-Xuanmen people, it is not allowed for idle Xuanshi who have not joined the Xuanmen, no Xuanmen certification to take the job, saying that he is a liar, and when he meets someone who can use the Taoism rules to break his way…”
“Anyway, there are so many things like this. I’m still a member of the Lingzu, so I can’t get along well with them on weekdays.”
Wang Xiaole, who has been silent all this time, pushed down the frame of the mirror and said: “That’s true. My family used to be a branch of the Xuanmen Wang family. My dad couldn’t stand the dirty things of the master’s family, so he asked to leave the Wang family. He was almost beaten to death by the master’s family who found fault. , the elders of the Xuanmen actually said that our family is no longer a member of the Xuanmen, and this matter is a personal enmity between the Wang family and us.”
Later, the prince recovered from his injuries, because people who were not from the Taoist sect could not even take on the religious affairs, and finally took his family to the spiritual group in a rage.
With the protection of the official organization, those talents restrained a little.
But until now, every time he met someone from the Taoist sect, they would call him a ‘traitor’ in a strange way.
Song Chen said: “They will definitely look for you again. If Miss Gu refuses, you will definitely be dealt with.”
Zheng Ruyu also took out a thick file and handed it to Gu Zhisang.
The above records are some unsolved case records where the murderer could not be found. There are many cases in which there are traces of metaphysics. Twenty years ago, the number of files was the largest. In recent years, as the attitude of the country has become more serious and clear, Taoism The talents in the middle school have restrained a lot, and the number of cases has gradually decreased.
Zheng Ruyu: “We gave the files to those old fellows from Xuanmen, and they started to stir up troubled waters and practice Tai Chi, and there were many internal disputes. Now Xuanmen is really not a good place to go. If Ms. Gu doesn’t care about them, it’s better to come to our spiritual group. “
“Abusing spells, forming cliques, eradicating dissidents…” Gu Zhisang snorted coldly, with nameless anger surging in his heart: “Is this the way of Taoism in this world?”
Wang Xiaole sighed, “Xuanmen was not like this in the past. Thousands of years ago, the patriarch Jun Hong established a sect to unify the world and establish Xuanmen. I still remember the three non-sticks set by the patriarch in the classics: Do not touch natural disasters.” , don’t engage in bad karma, don’t indulge in pleasure. At that time, my sect had a clear and bright morality, and no one dared to use magic spells to harm the world. It’s a pity that the patriarch had only been in charge of Taoism for more than a hundred years and passed away. There has never been a leader with great kindness and wisdom…”
“Wait.” Gu Zhisang’s expression suddenly became very strange, “You said the Taoist name of the founder of Xuanmen is Junhong?”
“yes.”
All three of them had an expression of “you, a metaphysician, don’t even know this”.
Gu Zhisang, who had always felt something was wrong, suddenly caught a flash of inspiration at this moment, she narrowed her phoenix eyes, and looked at Wang Xiaole:
“You are from Taoism, can you tell me about the past and history of Taoism that you know?”
Although it was strange, Wang Xiaole still nodded.
After a brief chat, Gu Zhisang fell into silence, and after a while she twitched the corners of her mouth and said, “I’m sorry to trouble you.”
Song Chen looked expectant: “Will Miss Gu join our spirit group?”
Gu Zhisang shook his head, and slowly said with his disappointed expression: “Although I don’t join the spirit group, if you encounter something that cannot be solved, I can provide you with a little help.”
“By the way, especially those who are troubled by people from the Taoist sect, you can come to me.”
After she left, the three profound masters in the office still haven’t recovered.
Song Chen rubbed his head, “What did she mean by that last sentence? She wants to fight against people from the Taoist sect? Awesome!”
Wang Xiaole deeply agrees, but still feels a little strange: “She is not from the Taoist sect, why does she have a sense of seeing that she wants to overthrow the Taoist sect, and she doesn’t seem to understand the Taoist sect, but she always pops out when she speaks. One or two sentences of history recorded in the internal classics. Boss, are you sure she has no connection with Taoism before? Did she have any grudges?”
Zheng Ruyu frowned, “It’s really strange. I checked her background several times, and it has nothing to do with the Taoism. The fortune-telling and Fengshui skills were suddenly revealed. I can find several old guys from the Xuanmen. The large tomb that was discovered didn’t have to be hidden for so many years.”
“Forget it, as long as such talents are not taken away by Xuanmen, we still have a chance.”
—
On the way home, the system was as quiet as a chicken, not daring to breathe.
It could feel that Gu Zhisang’s mood was very unstable, like a volcano that was about to erupt was temporarily backlogged.
As soon as she entered the house, Gu Zhisang sat on the rattan chair. She let out a sigh of relief, gently kneaded the acupoints at the corners of her eyebrows with her pale fingertips, and said in a cold voice for a while:
“System, you know that my ability has recovered by 70%.”
“Yes, I can feel it…” the system said weakly.
After receiving the meritorious power bestowed by the dragon veins, Gu Zhisang’s systemic induction in her altar is the most obvious.
From the system’s point of view, she was just a strong soul, but now Gu Zhisang, whose body and soul fit more than half, really made the system feel oppressed.
Gu Zhisang: “Then you should also know that if I try my best to destroy this body, I can erase you from my altar.”
system:? !
It was completely shocked, and cried out with a wow: “Boss, I am very obedient, and I didn’t force you to go through the plot, don’t erase me…”
“Then let me ask you, what’s going on in this world.” Gu Zhisang’s tone was threatening, “What’s the relationship between you and Old Man Tiandao?”
No wonder this body fits her so well, no wonder the underworld servants are all the faces of old acquaintances, this is not a book world at all, it is hundreds of years after her time!
Wang Xiaole said that 800 years ago, Taoist Junhong opened the Taoist Mountain, and the history of that time can completely match what she remembers.
Because Taoist Junhong is her master!
In fact, after the master passed away, it was Gu Zhisang who took over the Taoist sect. After the complete unification, he added a rule after Junhong Taoist’s “three non-stick” rules: people in the Taoist sect are never allowed to abuse their spells to do evil.
But in the records of this world, Taoist Junhong has no apprentices, and her name Gu Zhisang has been completely erased;
Yin Cha and Xie Bi’an, who had dealt with before, didn’t remember him at all, and Xuanmen turned into a puddle of mud…
I am the soul who came to this world after failing to cross the catastrophe, so there is only a problem in the way of heaven.
After being pressed for a long time, the system was wronged and cried, and was stunned to ask three questions. Only then did Gu Zhisang confirm that the system was really a small waste.
The system choked, and said in a low voice: “If I have to say something, I will only feel very happy when you absorb the power of merit. It seems that the more merit you absorb, something good will happen…”
The power of merit? Will it be related to heaven?
Gu Zhisang was deep in thought, when the phone in her pocket rang suddenly, she said to the system that was still humming in her head: “Don’t cry, you are so noisy.”
The system is even more wronged: QAQ
With teary eyes, it covered its disembodied mouth.
The caller was Yu Tongqiu: “Sangsang, you should be in Rongcheng now, right? I have something to tell you. Do you know that your manager is looking for Director Liu again? How did you offend him? Get rid of your resources?”
Everyone in the circle knew that Gu Zhisang and his manager Qian Zheng were at odds, but it was the first time Yu Tongqiu saw him because he wanted to kill his artist.
Hearing this, Gu Zhisang remembered that there was a hidden bomb beside him – that manager Qian Zheng who had a baby ghost beside him.
She frowned slightly, “What did he do again?”
Yu Tongqiu: “I’ll talk about this later. I called to ask if you are free. An old man in my friend’s family just passed away, but something went wrong with the funeral. He suspected that the old man still had some obsessions.” I can’t finish it, so I don’t know if I can ask you to take a look?”
Because the person who spoke was Yu Tongqiu, Gu Zhisang did not refuse, “What’s the specific situation?”
“It’s like this. Last Monday, my friend’s mother had a heart attack at home. The accident happened in the old man’s own bedroom. Because it happened suddenly and there was no one else around her, the best time for taking medicine and treatment was delayed. Just went in the bedroom… By the time the family members found out and sent him to the doctor, it was already too late.”
“Because no problems were found in the hospital, my friend wanted to arrange a decent funeral for the old man, but there were problems one after another during the funeral…”
Yu Tongqiu swallowed her saliva, she was one of the few people who knew about this incident as a friend in the circle, she even went to deliver a wreath to the old lady, and she saw the strange things at the funeral with her own eyes.
After personally experiencing ghosts pressing the bed to kill her, she was terribly afraid of such things, and her voice was a little trembling when she recalled:
“Although the old lady was not over 70 years old when she went there, she didn’t go there peacefully. It wasn’t a happy funeral, but she was a very open-minded old lady when she was alive. When my friends didn’t want her to leave, they would go there listening to the mourning. In addition, the old lady liked to listen to operas during her lifetime, so she arranged a folk opera troupe with funeral singing and lion dance with drum music.”
“It was okay at the beginning. The troupe sang and sang, but suddenly they burst into tears. In the end, they went dumb on the stage and couldn’t sing anything. When they came down, they insisted that they felt awkward on stage. The cold wind is hanging down their throats and pouring cold wind, and their throats hurt like a knife.”
“There are also the masters in charge of the lion dance. They have danced on the piles for more than ten years. In their words, they are more stable on the piles than on flat ground. As a result, one of the masters fell off the piles that day and his calf was cut. A piece of flesh fell off, and blood flowed all over the ground…”
Immediately, the masters of the lion dance troupe changed their faces, because seeing blood in funerals is a big taboo in funeral troupes!
The master who fell off the pile didn’t even want the money, and he was about to leave after making a fuss, saying that the white matter was not stable, and when he was on the pile, he felt a hand pulling him hard, which was the dead old lady’s unwillingness let’s go!
The relatives and friends who came down to attend the funeral were also terrified.
There were people from the older generation whispering on the spot, don’t tell me there is something wrong with the death of the underground old sister, and she is unwilling to become a ghost to make a funeral!
Yu Tongqiu continued: “My friend had doubts about his mother’s death, and this kind of thing happened again. If it was just like this, it might be called a coincidence, but the next morning he went to pack up the delivered ones. Looking at the wreaths, I found that several of them were scratched!”
“That afternoon, the owner of the store where he ordered the tombstone called him and said… that the tombstone that was specially customized for the old lady was cracked!”
