Chapter 64: The Ancient Secret
"...Where are your bad dignity?" Arthas was stunned for three seconds and couldn't help but speak, "Is this little favor bribed?"
Zhang Chenghai was also obviously stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said, "It seems that Mr. Qin is really hungry."
"Cough..." The waiter was stunned for three seconds and said, "Sir, can you finish eating?"
"It's 80% full." Qin Ye was calm and composed. In his poor life, the last Cantonese morning tea had to be traced back to twenty years ago...
"Go to it." Zhang Chenghai nodded. Soon, dishes with all colors, fragrance and flavor were served.
It was quite unexpected that there was no hungry ghost reincarnation, but instead ate it calmly. It was obviously very fast, but it didn't make people feel like they were swallowed up.
Qin Ye squinted his eyes and enjoyed it. The tender shrimps were mixed with eggs and spinach and rolled in his mouth. The shallots and ginger added to its umami flavor. Once in the mouth, it could not stop at all!
It smells so good.
"Your expression... is called lustful, and it's not too much." Arthas couldn't stand this look of a little rich man and couldn't help but complain.
"What do you know?" Qin Ye gracefully picked up a phoenix ball and whispered: "This is savoring my past worthy of mourning..."
"...Really, I really want to know what happened to you in the past... I always feel like I live a life worse than a pig or a dog..."
Zhang Chenghai drank a bowl of porridge and waited patiently for twenty minutes. The dishes in front of him were clean. Qin Ye wiped his mouth and felt a little embarrassed: "So... Mr. Zhang, what's wrong?"
Ahhhhh... Did you even say honorifics for a meal?...As Alsace closed her eyes and decided not to look at this evil person who was the most unparalleled and most unparalleled in history for the time being.
Zhang Chenghai pressed the bell on the table, and the waiter took all the dishes and looked at Qin Ye in surprise. Qin Ye was generously let go. He changed into two cups of fragrant tea and lit faint sandalwood. The room suddenly became silent.
"Mr. Qin, are you wondering why I came to pick you up in person today?" Zhang Chenghai lit a cigarette and spoke slowly: "First, it's because you and I are in the same realm. Second..."
He leaned forward: "Because... I feel like you can't get a taxi."
"The government did not cover up what happened last night. It was too sudden and too late. Where can the citizens be in the mood to rent it out? Besides... from this morning, all entry and exit in Bao'an City will be prohibited."
"Why?" Qin Ye asked with a slight look on his face.
Zhang Chenghai took out a kraft paper file bag from the bag next to him and placed it on the table. He pressed it with two fingers and said in a deep voice: "Bao'an City... will be directly under the jurisdiction of three days."
One sentence made Qin Ye's nerves tense as soon as he finished his meal.
Zhang Chenghai did not give him time to digest, and his calm voice echoed in the room: "The people have the right to know, it is better to be distracted than to block it. Sooner or later, there will be a day when you know the truth, look at this."
He picked up a remote control from the table and pressed it. Suddenly, the curtains in the whole room closed with a sound of sand. This was a special curtain, and there was no light after closing it. Then, the projector in the corner slowly lit up. A map of China appeared on the wall.
"What is this?" Alsace was surprised: "TV? Not… much bigger than TV, large computer?"
Qin Ye was too lazy to talk to such products abandoned by the times.
"This is the national yin energy statistics table in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China."
Qin Ye looked carefully. In 49 years, most of the country was green, not even red, only the western edge, the northeast edge, and the coastal area was a little bit orange. Although the edges of each city were not green, they were also yellow.
"The supernatural warning is divided into three types. Green is absolutely safe, yellow is overflowing, orange is the serious level, and red is the destruction level." Zhang Chenghai took a deep breath, his voice became cold, and when he pressed the remote control, it immediately turned into the next picture.
On this picture, yellow has spread across provinces, and even... red has appeared for the first time!
Qinling area!
A bloody red!
"Yin Qi Index...Six million?" Qin Ye frowned at the numbers beside him.
"This is 60 years." Zhang Chenghai said quietly: "Do you remember... the Great Famine that began in 58 and reached 60 years?"
Of course, Qin Ye remembers, to be precise, that is, the one who experienced it personally.
"After the bumper harvest in 1958, localities falsely reported their output, which made it difficult for farmers to survive. This was not a big problem. The problem was that at that time, China had to pay the corresponding grain tax for how many kilograms of grain they produced. The yield per mu was 10,000 kilograms, which made the agricultural tax more than imagined."
"In the summer of 1959, a nationwide drought raided China, which directly led to the terrible famine." Zhang Chenghai said lightly: "Maybe many people think so."
Qin Ye didn't speak, he vaguely felt something.
The picture on the wall changes again, it is very historical, and even the color of the picture is a bit distorted.
"This is..." Qin Ye gasped. In the picture, there was a towering forest, with countless staff, soldiers, and some white coats surrounding a digging excavation site.
The excavation site is very large, a full kilometer. It is full of rotten skeletons and the stone slabs are carved with various demon-subduing reliefs. However, the most eye-catching thing is the center.
There is a huge blood-red coffin three meters long and one meter wide!
Around the coffin, ninety-eighty-one oil lamps were lit like the sun. And... the wind cannot be blown away!
"Six-Party Ghost Killing Formation!" Before he could be surprised, Alsace's shocked voice had already sounded: "Why are there such things on the ground?!"
"What is this?" Qin Ye asked softly, as if he was asking Zhang Chenghai, but in fact he was asking Alsace.
Arthas did not answer immediately, and after a few seconds, he spoke with great emotion: "I only heard of this kind of thing...even I have only read records of this kind of thing. Legend has it that the Six-Party Ghost King travels all over the country and kills evil ghosts that have been transformed and above, but some evil ghosts cannot even kill the Six-Party Ghost King, and can only suppress them."
Qin Ye's eyes suddenly felt a little disgusted.
Some people... At that time, the Ghost King was killed on his upper body... They were really weak...
"...What's your look?! I have been suppressed in the infinite abyss for hundreds of years, without a clergy, and have passed the great explosion of Ksitigarbha becoming a Buddha. It's normal that it's not the opponent of the Ghost King! Reading... What are you so clear about when you're doing something wrong?"
It can be said that it is quite shameful.
Arthas said, "This is not important... What's important is that the ghosts that can be suppressed by the Ghost King of the Six Directions are definitely at the level of judges or above! This kind of thing... has almost no power to eliminate in the world. Once it breaks out, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
Zhang Chenghai thought Qin Ye was asking him, and after pondering for a minute, he said through his teeth: "Drought Bah."
"Inside the coffin... is a corpse of a woman in blue dress wearing Xia Dynasty clothes. Her body clothes are not decayed, her mouth has fangs and her skin is red and gold. It is exactly the same as the characteristics of the drought-bar recorded in ancient books and major sects."
"Only the most secret archives in China are recorded. On March 2, 2019, the landslide of the Xianfeng Mountains in Taibai Mountain in Qinling Mountains exposed the ruins. I thought it was an ancient tomb, and it was an extremely rare number of super-large tombs of the Xia Dynasty. I dug it out and found... This... is probably the temple where a powerful man suppressed evil demons in ancient times!"
Qin Ye sighed, this is the strength of the underworld... I am afraid that many years after sealing a drought bar into the foot of Taibai Mountain in the Qinling Mountains, did the Qinling Mountains become what they are now?
Zhang Chenghai naturally didn't know what he was thinking and spoke hoarsely: "Then... it was the great famine..."
Qin Ye took a deep breath. He never expected the truth of the great famine in the 1960s... It turned out that the Qinling Mountains dug up the drought bar!
Drought, the peak of zombies, any zombie, is at least at the level of evil spirits among ghosts! It is equivalent to the impermanence of the underworld!
"Wait..." He blinked, opened his mouth slightly, and shook his head gently, saying, "Didn't the drought be sealed? How could it cause a severe drought? Could it be..."
Zhang Chenghai's face was bitter: "The drought-bar coffins dug out back then...a total of eighteen..."
Silk... Qin Ye only felt his mouth dry, no wonder... No wonder the 60-year drought was so terrible, 28 million people died, and they starved to death. It turned out... they actually dug out eighteen drought worms!
"You... are you open?"
Zhang Chenghai smiled bitterly: "Some places immediately understand what it is, ninety-nine eighty-one sky lanterns are seals. But some places don't know... Archaeologists have opened half of the coffin in order to find out..."
Qin Ye shook his head gently and closed his eyes.
Zhang Chenghai's voice continued: "Since then, the Special Investigation Office was established. In fact, since 60 years, no archaeology has been informed of us and will definitely not be implemented without our approval."
"It was also from the 1960s that the amount of yin energy in China has risen sharply."
"On February 4, 1975, a magnitude 7.3 earthquake in Haiying, Liaoning Province was 16 kilometers deep, affecting 9,000 square kilometers. In 2,734 square kilometers in the territory, houses collapsed in an instant, and the number of people affected reached more than 8 million... The yin energy exceeded 100 million for the first time!"
"The Special Investigation Office entered and found a cave where thousands of corpses were sitting cross-legged at a crack 700 meters underground in the junction of Yingkou, Haicheng. If you enter it, you will die. It has been sealed to this day."
"The following year, the Tangshan earthquake occurred 600 meters below the center of the main urban area, and footprints of humanoid creatures were found..."
"On February 3, 1996, a magnitude 7.0 earthquake in Lijiang County was terrible. Some citizens saw a man wearing a golden costume walking out of the ground. Afterwards, the investigation... The epicenter area has a height of tens of millions of yin energy!"
"Do you know the 98 flood? But do you know... Upstream of the flood, a black coffin blocked the passage of all the streams gathering, and then suddenly disappeared, which led to the tragedy along the river... These secrets are recorded in the most secret archives, and only the special commissioner-level official positions in the Special Investigation Office can be read."
"China needs us. You, people like me." Zhang Chenghai breathed a sigh of relief and pointed to himself and Qin Ye: "Now... China's yin energy has reached 1.1 billion! It has increased by 100 million in a year last year! I'm afraid more this year! Once the yin energy exceeds the yang energy scale of China's 1.5 billion... Yin and Yang are completely unbalanced, the entire China will become a living forbidden zone!"
