This time I came to the Jinggu Sect, I lived in the stone grinding cave at the bottom of the mountain for seven or eight days before I went up the mountain, and by the time I went up the mountain, there was already a bit of a foul smell on my body.

So after I went up the mountain, I went to take a bath first, and then went to find Tang Erye and Zhang Shaojie.

Along the way, I met the disciples of the sect, and they all greeted me respectfully.

In particular, the disciples of Tang Erye who had just been recruited from the mountain for a year or two took pen and paper and asked me to sign them, and no one had ever asked me for an autograph, so I suddenly felt that I had more face, and Long Feifeng danced to sign one for each of them.

After signing, I continued to the hall, and the new disciples began to talk about my handwriting, and one of them was particularly down-to-earth and said, "The master's handwriting is really ugly!" ”

I blushed and walked faster.

If it weren't for the fact that these new disciples had just started and were no more than thirteen or fourteen years old on average, I would have gone over to clean them up.

Xu Ruohui, Yi Wu and the five ghosts all came to the hall early, and Tang Erye was also here, but Zhang Shaojie was not there, I heard that he went on a mission with two disciples with better qualifications.

Zhang Shaojie is now a beginner Heavenly Master, and his strength is similar to that of Wang Junhui when he took me out on a mission, and he has the ability to solve some cases that are not troublesome.

After briefly greeting Second Master Tang, Second Master Tang asked me to stay in the Jinggu Sect for a few days this time, and what arrangements I had for the next.

I smiled and said, "There is no arrangement, but I can't stay here for long, I'm going to walk around, if there is a case, I will take it, and if there is no case, it will be regarded as a distraction." ”

Hearing me say this, Second Master Tang also nodded and said: "On the first day of junior high school, there is a case in the North China Branch recently, and the remuneration is very good, and no one has taken it yet, if no one takes it for two more days, the case will automatically be transferred to the distribution procedure of the Supernatural Branch, and there will be a master of the Supernatural Branch to solve the case, if it can't be solved again, then the case will be sealed as an unsolved case, and then it will be sealed in the Supernatural Bureau." ”

I understand Tang Erye's words, I once took over the "Ganju case" in the southwest, that is, the case that has been sealed for hundreds of years, and the disappeared village is also closed along with it.

If the case of the North China Branch cannot be solved, then a place will be closed.

But then again, there will be immortals in every supernatural sub-bureau, but the immortals never seem to go out on tasks directly, and the highest is at the level of the earth immortals, if the earth immortals can't solve the case, the case will be sealed.

Why?

When I thought of this, the master said in my consciousness: "This is the style of the supernatural sub-bureau, in the eyes of the supernatural sub-bureau, the main masters who can compete with the immortal level are all born in accordance with the way of heaven, if the immortals can get rid of them, then get rid of them, if they can't get rid of them, generally no one will touch them again." ”

"Those immortal-level supernatural powers who are majoring in must be not shallow, and killing them will sometimes damage their own merits."

Losing your own merits?

I am a little surprised, how can I lose my merit if I eliminate harm for the people?

Master explained to me, "On the first day of junior high school, take the Ganju case that you just thought of, do you think Ganju is good or bad? ”

When it comes to Ganju, I naturally can't help but look at Ah Jin.

Ah Jin was not in the compass at this time, but was standing next to Xu Ruohui, as if he was talking to Xu Ruohui just now.

Seeing me looking at her, Ah Jinmei frowned slightly, as if she felt something.

I was a little weak by Ah Jin, so I didn't look too much at it, and then said to Master in my consciousness: "In my opinion, Ganju is not bad, although he has done a lot of evil things and killed many people, but I subjectively feel that he is not bad. ”

Master continued: "Ganju is a ghost king, and it is true that he has made a big mistake, but he has obsessions in his heart, he has a good side, and he has the cultivation of a ghost king, so he himself also has his own merits. ”

Suddenly, I understood what Master meant.

Seeing that I didn't speak for a long time, Second Master Tang thought I was thinking about it.

After a while, he couldn't wait any longer, so he said: "First year of junior high school, don't talk about whether you can take this case or not, let me tell you about this case first, I don't know if you are interested in listening to it." ”

Second Master Tang will definitely not tell me about this case for no reason, he told me, it shows that in his heart, he hopes that I can take this case, but he is embarrassed to ask me to do it directly.

So I sat down in this hall and listened to Second Master Tang tell the story.

This story takes place in the Daqing River basin in North China, and many North Chinese people may not know about the Daqing River themselves, because all the rivers in this basin are not very big, and all of them are small rivers.

There is no such thing as a famous river.

And there is such a place in the Daqing River Basin, called Daoxichuan.

There are many villages near the Dosai River, and the mountains here are gentle, and to be precise, they are all slopes rather than mountains.

A few decades ago, the Dosai River was a relatively large river, but with over-irrigation and reduced precipitation in the past few years, the Dosai River has gradually become a small river, but the riverbed is still very wide in some places.

When the water recedes, the riverbed is left with abundant sand resources, and the country has been engaged in construction everywhere in recent years, so several more yarn mills have been built in the lower reaches of the Daoxichuan River, and the whole river has been dug up in a bad way.

There are potholes everywhere on the river, excavators can be seen everywhere on the river, and there are many large pits left by sand dredging, and some of these pits will have a lot of stagnant water.

The deepest of them is one or twenty meters deep.

And this case is related to these strange pits.

Because there has been no heavy rain in recent years, the sand in one place has been dug up, and it is gone, leaving only large pits, and the location of the sand field has been moved downstream along the river of Doxicheon, and the place where the middle and upper reaches have been dug has become a group of abandoned pits.

Because the river channel is destroyed, the small water potential cannot continue to flow down the surface of the river, and the downstream water is almost entirely infiltrated from the ground.

Unfortunately, there are more and more pits in the middle and upper reaches, and a lot of water is blocked when it penetrates halfway, and then it is exposed to the sun, and the water is further lost, and the water downstream will become less and less, and one day, this Xichuan will become a dry river.

Obviously, it is the sand plants that are destroying the environment of the river, but unfortunately the owners of the sand plants, and even the relevant functional departments, are not aware of this.

When he said this, Tang Erye sighed and said: "Nowadays, people are desperately destroying the environment for superior living conditions, and to put it seriously, people are killing their offspring for a temporary sense of superiority, and one day they will ......."

Speaking of this, Second Master Tang suddenly stopped and said: "I'm a little far away, it's useless to say too much, I told you the general story background and regional environment, now I'll tell you what happened." ”

Then Second Master Tang started with a little story to tell me.

The story of this time begins with a child named Zhang Ming, who happened in the summer of the year he was 10 years old, when the sand field had moved downstream, and there were many deep pits left by the sand field on the side of their village, and several of them had a lot of stagnant water.

The children who live near the water all year round will come into contact with the river from an early age, so in the summer of that year, Zhang Ming and several children in the village went to play in the water (swimming), and they picked the largest pit, which of course was also the deepest pit with the deepest water.

The children in the village do not have a lifebuoy, and the children who can't swim just hold a thicker piece of wood and play on the water with the buoyancy of the wood.

The children don't know how to be afraid.

For the first few days they didn't do anything like that, so more and more children went there with them, and sometimes a few adults went there to swim and bathe.

As the children became familiar with the environment, they went to play at night.

That day, Zhang Ming and a few friends went to play in the water, he was stupid, and he couldn't swim, so he needed to hold a plank, that was a period of time before eating, several children wanted to go into the water to swim around and go home to eat, but they didn't expect that only Zhang Ming came back alive in a group of four of them, and the other children died in the deep pit.

I asked, "Isn't it simply drowning?" ”

Tang Erye said: "If it is simply drowned, I don't need to tell you this, the first year of junior high school, don't interrupt me first, listen to me tell you slowly, this story, I must tell you more detailed, because there are very important things here." ”

I nodded.

Second Master Tang continued.

Afterwards, according to Zhang Ming's recollection, the situation at the time of the incident was like this, only Zhang Ming did not swim among the four people, and he had to rely on a piece of wood to play in the water, and the piece of wood was thrown next to the puddle, and there might be the one who couldn't swim to hold it.

And that day, when Zhang Ming got there, he found that the wood was gone, he looked around, and found that he had been thrown fifty meters away.

When he picked up the wood and came back, his three friends had already swam in the water several times, and they beckoned Zhang Ming to get into the water quickly, and they swam a few more laps before they were about to go ashore.

Zhang Ming began to undress in a hurry, he took off his naked feet, just got into the water, and before he began to grab the wood and swim deeper, Zhang Ming was stunned, because he saw a huge black shadow suddenly jumping behind the three friends, and the black shadow's eyes were shining.

Then there was a loud bang, and the black shadow slammed into his three companions, who were also knocked to the bottom of the water in an instant, never to come up again.

At the same time, a huge wave also splashed in the puddle, which directly slapped Zhang Ming, who had just entered the water, to the shore again.

Zhang Ming, who was washed ashore by the water, was startled at first, and then immediately reacted, turned his head with his bare buttocks and ran to the village to call someone.

Hearing this, I couldn't help interrupting Second Master Tang and said: "Is the black shadow in the water the main protagonist of this case, he only killed three children and let Zhang Ming run away, which shows that it is not very strong." ”

Second Master Tang said: "It is not the main master, this matter is just the beginning, you listen to me honestly and continue to talk about it." ”

I nodded, how big will this case be, so that many supernatural people in the North China Branch are unwilling to take the initiative to take over?

Why does Second Master Tang want me to take on this case, I am very much looking forward to an answer in my heart, but unfortunately I can't be in a hurry, so I can only listen to Second Master Tang speak slowly.
