Chapter 159 Weird Evil Things
"Mission location: Huangtong Fucheng.
"Mission brief description: Wu Zongshan, the master of the palace, reported the situation. It was said that the harmonious families of several families turned against each other for no apparent reason, and beat and insulted each other. Three of them were disabled, a husband killed his wife and then committed suicide. Brothers fell in love with each other, relatives and friends became enemies, masters and apprentices killed each other, and other similar situations. It happens frequently and is very unusual.
"The purpose of the mission: to investigate whether there is any evil involved.
"Mission warning: If it is found to be related to an evil object, and the evil object reaches the eighth level, report it to the organization immediately, and do not act rashly.
"Basic reward for the mission: two hundred good deeds and one thousand taels of silver."
"Additional reward for the mission: Verify that it is related to the evil object, and confirm the information about the evil object, and you will be rewarded with five hundred good deeds."
Actually in Huangtongfu City?
Zhou Heng was a little surprised. It seemed that the Five Emperors were indeed choosing carefully. Otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence that the mission location happened to be in Huangtong City.
"I still have to thank him for taking care of me."
However, judging from the rewards of this mission, it seems that it is more difficult and more dangerous than the previous missions in Ansong County. After all, the rewards are higher and more generous.
"Evil thing." Zhou Heng chewed on these two words.
Compared to ghosts, he knew very little about evil objects and encountered very few. To be precise, he had only encountered evil objects twice, and both were related to the ghost Yu Shang.
After that time, he never encountered evil things again.
Naturally, there is no understanding.
It wasn't until Zhou Heng joined the Zhoutian Xunjie Division, went to the Ziwei Palace, and obtained the inheritance of the "Ziwei" star position that he learned some information about evil objects with the help of this mask.
The evil thing is a strange creature that appeared inexplicably three thousand years ago. Even Zhou Tianxunjie Secretary knows very little about the evil thing.
I only know that this kind of strange creature likes to get close to ghosts when it is weak, and will even actively seek out ghosts to serve as its master and let them drive it.
In addition, even a very weak evil creature that has just been born contains a spiritual impact that far exceeds that of a ninth-grade or even eighth-grade ghost. An ordinary ninth-grade evil thing is enough to frighten thousands of people to death in an instant. .
It can be said that he is the right-hand man for ghosts to cause chaos everywhere.
Yu Shang was like this back then. He first gave Sun Zhengping pills disguised as evil things, and then used evil things to corrode his guards to hunt down Zhou Heng.
Apparently he was used to driving away evil things.
However, when the evil object becomes stronger, that is, after reaching the eighth level, it will leave the ghost and act alone.
From then on, he feeds on the negative emotions of living beings and strengthens himself.
Evil objects can also absorb yang energy, but they are not restricted by the law of yin and yang convergence like ghosts. They do not have the instinct to absorb yang energy. For evil objects, the negative emotions of living beings are the best food.
Therefore, if a place suddenly changes from the original peace and harmony to constant disputes, endless disasters, and the source is difficult to find, and all are for some inexplicable reasons, then it is very likely that evil things are causing chaos in the dark, stirring up trouble between people and each other. Conflicts between people stimulate negative emotions, which can be absorbed and strengthened.
To some extent, evil objects pose more threats than ghosts at the same level.
At most, ghosts can possess a person and seize that person's body, while evil things can secretly incite people's negative emotions and trigger various conflicts and even riots, usually large-scale conflicts that can even affect people. wide.
Moreover, evil objects also have various special abilities like ghosts, and are even more weird and evil. The number of abilities will be greater than that of ghosts at the same level, making it difficult for people to guard against, and they may be caught if they are not careful.
If it weren't for the fact that evil objects that have reached the fifth level of the sect have not been discovered in three thousand years, and most of the evil objects are only lower than the third level, then the danger level of the evil objects is definitely higher than that of ghosts.
Even so, Zhou Tian Xunjie Division still attaches great importance to the appearance of evil objects.
Just like the mission Zhou Heng received this time, if it is found to be related to an evil object, and the evil object has reached at least the eighth level, he will be warned not to act rashly and report it to the organization.
However, the evil things that have not yet matured are relatively easy to find. They are basically in the form of insects and have a strange, scalp-numbing aura, which makes them easier to distinguish.
But once the evil thing becomes a climate and becomes strong, it will completely hide the evil aura on the body, and at the same time change its form, disguised as an ordinary animal, making it extremely difficult to distinguish.
Even if you are really sure that there is something evil in a place, it is extremely difficult to find it.
Unless you have extremely strong spiritual perception.
But even if it is found, it will be difficult to kill the evil thing with one person's power.
This is because Taoism has a relatively poor killing effect on evil objects. It is easier to kill some evil objects that have not yet matured, but when dealing with those evil objects that have become stronger, the lethality of Taoism is greatly reduced.
It usually takes three or four more times, or even more, to kill it.
"The evil creatures driven by Yu Shang at that time were probably only at the ninth level. They didn't even have basic spiritual intelligence, only the instinct of bloodthirsty killing."
Zhou Heng fell into deep thought and thought to himself: "If it can incite people's negative emotions secretly and affect so many people, if it is really evil, it must be at least the eighth level.
"That is to say, this means that as long as it is confirmed to be related to evil objects, it will be reported immediately... It is taken very seriously, really taken very seriously. The location is in Huangtong Fucheng, I must find out.
"drive!!"
He took off his mask and pulled the reins in his hand.
The Linju maroon horse under his crotch seemed to be connected with his mind, and immediately ran out like an arrow from the string. The speed reached the extreme, and soon there were layers of flames burning.
The horse stepped on the red lotus and galloped for thousands of miles towards Huangtong City.
…
The warm morning sun dispelled the slight chill of the September weather.
Wu Zongshan was dealing with a pile of documents in the study, which were basically various conflicts reported by his subordinates. The current Huangtong City was more chaotic than when he reported it to Zhoutian Patrol Division.
Originally, there were only two or three families every day, but now it has developed to more than a dozen families every day.
There are all kinds of situations, some are fathers turning against each other, some are brothers fighting, and there are conflicts between teachers and students... Nearly a hundred people have been killed or committed suicide.
The entire Huangtong City has fallen into an unprecedented panic.
The key is that even if someone is careful and tries to restrain themselves, it is useless.
Many people quarrel with others for no reason, make enemies, kill people, and then commit suicide.
It was as if there was an invisible hand, beating the dark side of everyone's heart in the dark, and then magnifying this dark side, allowing people to release their negative emotions to their heart's content.
Wu Zongshan was already so busy with this that he didn't know what to do at all. He could only pin his hopes on the Star Envoy sent by the Zhoutian Patrol Division.
Before the Star Envoy arrived, he could only try his best to control the spread of this influence, but he also knew that the spread of this influence was too fast, almost doubling, and no matter what he did, it would be a drop in the bucket.
——At the beginning, it was only a few families that grew, but people are connected to each other, and families are even more connected to each other. As the number of people affected increased, the spread rate naturally soared.
Unless the evil things are eliminated at the source, they cannot be stopped at all.
Bang bang!
At this time, the knock on the door spread.
Wu Zongshan's eyes lit up, and he quickly stood up, rushed over to open the door of the study, and then saw a slender man wearing a purple robe and a mask.
The mask was painted with a portrait of an extremely noble emperor, which gave people a sense of majesty. This feeling made Wu Zongshan feel that the star envoy in front of him was more noble than all the star envoys he had seen before.
"Master Star Envoy!!" However, he was still very surprised.
After all, the only one who could deal with ghosts and evil things was the Zhoutian Patrol Division. Without the people from the Zhoutian Patrol Division, he had no way to deal with this strange and hard-to-find evil thing.
Now there is finally a ray of hope.
"Master Mansion Master." Zhou Heng said in a deep voice. He changed his voice and did not use his original identity, but came as the "Ziwei Star Master" of the Zhoutian Patrol Division.
In this way, the two identities of "Zhou Heng" and "Ziwei" can be separated, which will avoid many unnecessary troubles.
Because the mask has a very strong secret effect, even the breath characteristics can be changed, so Wu Zongshan did not recognize that the "Master Star Envoy" in front of him was Zhou Heng.
"Please sit down, Star Envoy, please sit down." Wu Zongshan could see this Star Envoy as the savior of Huangtong City, and also his own savior. He quickly asked Zhou Heng to sit down and personally poured a cup of tea. "Star Envoy, I believe you have some understanding of the situation here, but do you need me to explain it in detail?"
"I have a general understanding of the situation, but I still lack specific cases for reference." Zhou Heng nodded and said, "Please tell me a few cases, Master."
"No problem." Wu Zongshan nodded.
He has been dealing with the documents and files of this matter these days, and has memorized all those cases, especially some typical cases, which he can recite at will.
...
The first case happened five days ago.
The relevant personnel are a young couple who just got married last year. The woman is 21 and the man is 23.
Although the conditions of their families are not particularly good, they are both young and willing to work hard. They live a harmonious life, and the neighbors are very envious.
Three months ago, the woman got pregnant, and the man got a better job to make money. They saw that their lives would get better and better.
In the end, the husband killed his wife and then committed suicide.
Two corpses and three lives!
The family was broken up!
According to the neighbors' recollections, the two had a fierce quarrel before the incident, and the noise was very loud, so the neighbors roughly heard the reason for the quarrel.
It was just because they were arguing about whether to eat porridge or noodles for breakfast.
... It was obviously a very small matter. In the past, it would be just a quarrel, and the couple would make up in a blink of an eye.
But this time, it ended up with a broken family.
