Chapter 28: Gone Crazy Online!

  Although the school asked the police to take charge of this matter, since Qin Feng accepted the school's entrustment, he couldn't spread it out. When the police asked him, Qin Feng had no choice but to say that he came with Zhou Qin to go outing together.

  "Going for a spring outing? Don't you know it's very dangerous here? You'd better leave quickly, there have been criminals lurking around this area recently and we're tracking them down." One of the slightly stout policemen said seriously to Qin Feng and Zhou Qin, looking like they had already blocked off the news about the corpse.

  Qin Feng cursed inwardly, originally coming here to investigate the matter, but it turned into an ambush of criminals, this is really a set. But no matter what, now wanting to continue tracking down is impossible, only waiting for another opportunity.

  Helplessly, Qin Feng and Zhou Qin looked at the two policemen and disappointingly went down the mountain back to the village. At this time, in Zhang Lao Han's home, Xiao Chen was still sitting on a bench with some trepidation, his shocked expression pale all over. Fortunately, Xiao Chen's home was just next door, and upon hearing about the incident, Xiao Chen's parents rushed to Zhang Lao Han's home to comfort him.

  Back at school, Zhou Qin said he wanted to go to the library to look up some information about snakes, while Qin Feng was preparing to go to his grandfather's place, hoping that his grandfather could come up with a solution.

  After lunch, Qin Feng rushed to the funeral home, where Master Qin was busy making up a corpse. Qin Feng told Master Qin about it, and after hearing it, he put down the cinnabar pen in his hand, stopped working, and asked: "Xiao Feng, did you really see it?"

  At first, Qin Ye was still a bit skeptical, but as he listened to Qin Feng's detailed account, he believed him. "So it seems that the mountain really does have a snake that has become a spirit!"

  "Grandpa, this snake's cultivation is still low now, it's our advantageous time to catch it, how should I catch it?"

  Grandfather Qin shook his head, this action completely beyond Qin Feng's expectations. "What's wrong, Grandpa?"

  "Animals that can absorb the essence of yin and yang to become spirits are rare. In our folk culture, there are usually four types: 'Hu', 'Huang', 'Bai' and 'Liu'. Hu refers to the fox spirit, Huang is the yellow weasel, Bai is the hedgehog, also known as the white immortal, and Liu refers to snakes, or the snake spirit. The snake spirit you mentioned is actually the Liu spirit. These four types of animals have a high chance of becoming spirits through their daily practice of absorbing the essence of the sun and moon because they constantly spit out the old and take in the new. And as you said, that blood-red snake had grown a purple-red crown on its head, which means it has already achieved spiritual enlightenment. I remember after the founding of our country, when I was still at Mount Longhu, I once saw such an enlightened snake. At that time, I passed through a mountainous area near Shangrao City, and due to the war, there were many Japanese corpses left unburied in the wilderness. As a result, the entire valley had a strong aura of death, which easily attracted snakes and other creatures that fed on the corpses. Over time, according to local villagers' accounts, a snake appeared that had become a spirit through its frequent consumption of human corpses."

  "So you've seen him, Grandpa?"

  Qin Ye smoked and nodded his head, saying: "Right, when dealing with this kind of spiritual thing, never think about catching it to kill it or whatever. If you do that, you'll easily suffer the consequences."

  Listening to his grandfather's warning, Qin Feng didn't understand what to do, so he asked: "Then what should I do? Can't you help me subdue it, Grandpa? We can't just watch as it harms people."

  "Master Qin said with a puff of smoke: "I'm not going, the funeral home's affairs are getting more and more complicated. Alright, I'll teach you a method to subdue it." Before Qin Feng could speak, Master Qin continued: "Remember, little Feng, when dealing with Liu Xian, never harbor evil intentions, only subdue but do not kill, understand?"

  "What should I do then?"

  "Any of these animals that have attained spiritual enlightenment and become demons all have a vital energy hidden within them; if you can break their vital energy, you will be able to subdue them."

  "What's yuanqi?" Qin Feng was confused and asked again: "Where is this yuanqi?"

  "Snake gall! The snake's gall is where the yuan is hidden, as long as you break its gall, it will disperse and never be able to become a spirit again." "That's what I did back then, and that's how I subdued that snake." It seemed like he was recalling his past, Qin Ye lit another cigarette and slowly savored it, speaking with great interest. "Now, I'll teach you a method, as long as you use this set of methods along with your accumulated dao and experience, dealing with him will be more than enough." And Qin Feng also remembered Grandfather's words, listening carefully to the method he was teaching.

  Today's weather isn't very good, with dark clouds being blown in by some unknown wind. Lifting his head to gaze up at the dense and ominous clouds, Qin Feng thought back to the Taoist magic he had learned from his grandfather yesterday. His lazy body curled up into a ball from time to time, originally intending to take advantage of this boring period to get a good sleep, but who knew that at this moment, a sudden phone call would shatter the tranquility.

  "Qin Feng? I am Zhou Qin!"

  On the other end of the phone, Zhou Qin's voice was tense. Qin Feng didn't know why and asked: "What's wrong, what happened?"

  "Qin Feng, do you still remember those two policemen we met on the mountain yesterday?" Zhou Qin's urgent voice made him feel that something was wrong, and he responded with a hum. Zhou Qin continued: "It's them, they suddenly went crazy today."

  "Has he gone mad?" Qin Feng found it amusing and couldn't understand, "How could a normal person go mad?"

  "I was going to ask you too...... Never mind, come quickly and take a look, I'm at the First People's Hospital, they just called me." The other party had already hung up the phone. It seemed very strange, yesterday when he saw them they were fine, today why did they suddenly go crazy? Qin Feng suspected that there must be something fishy going on.

  Hurriedly putting on his clothes, he arrived at the First People's Hospital. Following Zhou Qin's instructions, Qin Feng came to a humble bungalow ward in the most remote corner of the hospital. Perhaps due to the impact of the incident, no one outside knew about this matter, except for a few leaders from the town police station where Dongtou Village was located, not even the county and municipal public security bureaus had reported it.

  "You can come over!" Zhou Qin saw Qin Feng and immediately called out to him, gesturing for him to come over.

  "What's going on?" As soon as Qin Feng entered the room, he saw that apart from himself and Zhou Qin, Professor Xie and a police officer from the local police station were also present. Professor Xie introduced the police officer to Qin Feng as Director He of the police station.

  "Qin Feng, it's like this. Yesterday, Xiao Zhang and Xiao Liu were in charge of patrolling the Townting Mountain you mentioned. However, when it was time to get off work in the afternoon, we found that they hadn't returned yet. So we called their phones, but no one answered. I thought something had happened, so I dispatched colleagues from our department to hurry up and search for them on the mountain. And then, they were finally found in a valley."

  He stopped for a moment, let out a deep sigh and said: "But when we found them they were both lying on the ground unconscious. By the time we sent them to the hospital and they woke up, they had already gone mad. We just gave them sedatives, now they're much better."

  At this time, Professor Xie asked Qin Feng: "Qin Feng, what's going on here?"

  "Has he gone mad?" Qin Feng repeated these two words, unsure of what to say, and only asked: "What did the doctor say?"

  "What the doctor said was that it's just a temporary split personality, but Xiaozhang and Xiaoliu were both fresh graduates from police school, how could they have split personalities? So I think there might be something else going on. Qin Feng, take a look at this, what do you think?"

  Recalling the situation when he encountered them twice yesterday, Qin Feng suddenly realized and said: "They are very likely to be swept away by the evil spirits and mistakenly entered the tomb!"
