Return to 1983 and be a detective

But as soon as he stood up, the old monk pressed down his shoulders with a whisk.

A strong force surged from his shoulders.

He felt a sudden numbness in his shoulders, and his body that originally wanted to stand up suddenly sat back down.

He only felt this numb feeling spreading throughout his body.

The body cannot move.

He was shocked: "Are you divining acupuncture points?"

"Yes, this is the method of acupuncture."

But isn’t this acupuncture technique imagined in martial arts novels?

How come this old monk really knows how to do it?

"Don't be so surprised. There are many things in the world that you don't know, and you can't even explain them with science. But don't worry, I have no ill intentions towards you. On the contrary, I have something to ask of you."

"Begging me? What's the matter?"

"Actually, monk, I am not alone. I still have two daughters left behind in the mortal world. I hope you can help the monk take care of my two daughters so that they will not suffer in the mortal world.

Xiang Huhu promised to help me do this at first, but now that he has stepped down, he no longer has the ability to help me. I am also a little worried about their safety, so I hope you can use the power in your hands to take care of them. "

"Just this little thing? As long as they don't do anything illegal, I should be able to take care of them. I wonder what your daughter's name is?"

"Their names are relatively common, one is called Wu Di..."

"There is another one named Wu Qing?"

The monk was moved: "How do you know?"

"Haha, monk, I found that you are actually better at deceiving people than me. Just now you looked like you could see through everything in the world, but now you are confused? So I think the Qi-gazing technique you mentioned before is all a lie. Human, I guess the agreement between you and Xiang Huhu is that if he encounters something embarrassing during the Yihu murder case, he will have someone come to find you."

The old monk was exposed, but his face was not red and his heart was not beating. He laughed flatly: "Young man, you are worthy of being Xiang Hu's descendant. He has a poisonous eye and a good brain.

But I still don’t quite understand how you met my two daughters?Could it be..."

Looking at his suddenly ferocious face, Xu Shan didn't know that he had misunderstood: "No, it seems that you know nothing about your daughter's current situation. In this case, why don't you go down the mountain to have a look?"

"Do you think I can just go down the mountain? If those people don't die, I won't be able to go down the mountain for a day. If I go down, they will be detrimental to my two daughters."

"Those people? Who are they?"

"Of course they are Jianghu people, but they are not like us, a branch of thieves, who are all kinds of people. Although they do some illegal things, they still have a bottom line. They have no bottom line at all. They will do anything for their own benefit. It can be done.”

"The world is so big. If you quietly go down the mountain, will there be people watching you?"

"That won't work. You don't know how scary those time monsters are. They have no humanity at all. I don't want my two daughters to fall into their hands."

"Time monster? Are there really monsters in this world?"

"If they were monsters, they wouldn't necessarily be that scary. However, they are not monsters, but they are better than monsters and far scarier than monsters. Time monsters are actually a kind of martial arts profession. Their main business is human trafficking, like Shooting flowers, kidnapping, buying and selling people, harvesting and harvesting are all things that their demons do."

"I understand the first three businesses you mentioned, but what is harvesting and harvesting?"

"Do you know the categories of beggars?"

"What does this have to do with beggars?"

"Beggars are divided into literary beggars, martial beggars and bitter beggars. The literary beggars sing Lotus Falling, which is incomplete. They sing while playing Allegro. The martial beggars are similar to those who make a living by performing tricks. There is another kind of beggar who stabs the throat with a spear, begs for food with a broken chest, and that is the beggar with incomplete limbs, deafness and blindness, who is very miserable. This kind of beggar can win people's sympathy and ask for a little money."

"So what does this have to do with harvesting and harvesting?"

"Where do you think those beggars with missing limbs came from? They were all chopped off by those Shi Yao people, their tongues were cut off, and their eyes were gouged out..."

The old monk's words made Xu Shan feel a chill on his back.

Damn it, these time demons really deserve to be killed, they use such cruel methods to torture people, and they also use the handicapped people they created as tools for begging.

He couldn't help but think of the beggars missing arms and legs under the overpasses and in front of the stations in later generations. When mobile payment was not so developed, there were many such disabled beggars, and there were also those without legs who sat on skateboards and sang. Beggars, now it seems, are all caused by harvesting and cutting.Since it still exists in the next world, let alone this era.

The old monk continued: "Shi Yao and the others don't regard people as human beings at all. They regard people as trees. In the past, there was a method of harvesting peach gum by cutting a knife on a peach tree, which is the same as harvesting peach trees. We steal Everyone in the sect also hates these time monsters, but they are very powerful. After all, people sacrifice for money, and there are countless people who destroy humanity for profit... Okay, after saying so much, you haven't said what happened to my daughter. ?”

"Monk, we are quite destined to be together." Xu Shan did not answer immediately, intending to give it a try.

But the monk didn't bother with the teasing. The fly whisk pressed Xu Shan's shoulder hard: "You must be my uncle, right?"

Well, this monk is really impure and always thinking about other things.

Xu Shan's shoulder was in severe pain, and he was no longer in the mood to show off: "You misunderstood, the two of them are now partnering with me to open a store. The business is doing very well, they have no worries about food and clothing, and they all have a lot of money. . If you want to repair this dilapidated temple, I suggest you seek alms from them."

"Is what you said true?"

"Why should I lie to you? Okay, now that we've talked about it, let's talk to me about this Yihu murder case."

The monk picked up the fly whisk and untied Xu Shan's acupuncture points: "Actually, this Yihu murder case was not the Yihu murder, but the crime of us thieves."

"This...then the butcher who was involved in the righteous tiger murder case that the old man handled before was also a member of the gang?"

"Him? How could he be? It's true that he killed the person, but he was controlled by someone. The person who controlled him was a member of the Pi Zi sect among the eight sects. The so-called Pi Zi sect was to give people tattoos. , a person who uses it to exert some means of controlling people."

"I've heard of the Eight Gates, but the explanation seems to be different."

"You just heard about it, and I am the head of the Eight Gates in Longshui. Which one do you think is more authoritative, what you heard and what I told you?"

Xu Shan shrugged: "Okay, go on."

"People from the Pi Zi Sect can control some people to do certain things through tattoos. They don't have the strength to fight the Shi Yao, so they have to find some puppets and let them kill some of the Shi Yao's people. .”

"It's despicable."

"There's nothing we can do about it, but in my opinion, by killing the time demon, they are at least doing something good for the people."

"Then why did they take the victim's head and ribs?"

"If you ask others about this matter, you will definitely not get an answer. But since you have asked me, I will not hide it. Let me tell you, there is a kind of hidden ink in the leather door, which is the kind that does not appear after being tattooed. It will appear immediately, but this hidden ink will only appear when a person is emotionally unstable or is subject to certain stimuli."

"I see, but what I don't quite understand is why someone would be willing to get such a tattoo? Isn't it fun to be someone else's puppet?"

"Your ideas are so different from those of us Jianghu people. If you want to solve the Jianghu people's case, you have to think like a Jianghu people. This hidden ink tattoo has more than just disadvantages. After it is tattooed, people will become You can be more powerful, you can become smarter, you can react faster, you can even have some abilities that exceed ordinary people..."

Listening to the monk's description, Xu Shan's heart kept sinking, because his pendant gave him the ability to become stronger, clearer, faster, and have an inexplicable resistance to poison. Healing ability, what if all this is the function of hidden ink?

Doesn't that mean that he has become someone else's puppet without knowing it?
