My days as a landlord in Gotham

(land)

Li Lei did not go to rest, but studied the church carefully with the satellite map.

The front of the church is the main building, where the priest preaches the teachings, and the back is the living area of ​​the church.

Originally there was an orphanage in the church, but as the income of the church decreased, the orphanage was gradually abandoned.

In addition, there is a cemetery in the open space behind the church, where the tombs of past priests or some loyal believers who have enshrined the church are buried.

Li Lei actually doesn't understand the mentality of foreigners who can live with cemeteries. In China, there must be a distance between cemeteries and human settlements, but there is no such taboo in the West.

Perhaps the scope of the church is considered to be "the territory of the gods"

, so being buried here can be closer to heaven, and therefore more restful?

"In fact, the architectural style and architectural form of this church are in line with the style and style of most Christian churches, so even if you carefully distinguish them, you won't find any problems."

Seeing that Li Lei was still studying the church, Hiro Hamada couldn't help reminding him.

"Besides, since Father John has such tight control over this church, the possibility of you trying to distinguish it with the naked eye is even lower.

I think it's better to wait for tomorrow's big inspection before doing analysis. After all, there are so many people participating, so there must be some gains, right? "

But soon Hamada Hiroshi was confused by the large-scale inspection conducted by the Special Biological Management Office, the FBI and the Chicago Police, because no large magic circle or altar was found within the city of Chicago, only Several laboratories left by magicians or wizards, and these laboratories were abandoned at least 20 years ago.

In addition, this inspection was opposed by some civil rights lawyers, and even a group of haggis clashed with the inspectors.

Hagui are human beings, but they worship vampires extremely. They think that human society should be ruled by vampires.

Although the size of this group of people is not very large, they are as annoying as flies.

And the most important thing is that the Hagui tribe is not valued by vampires, because the human beings that vampires fancy are either taken as blood slaves by them or simply embraced as their own tribe.

And the Hagui tribe is not qualified enough to become a vampire, so they can only cry and beg the vampire to accept them.

However, as far as Li Lei knew about vampires, most of the hagui people smoked, drank and abused drugs, and their private lives were very disorderly, so vampires didn't even want to drink their blood.

The blood that vampires love most is the blood of virgins, the second is the blood of virgin boys, the third is the blood of those healthy people who live in moderation, and the last is the blood of hospital blood banks.

Therefore, for most vampires, they would rather starve for a period of time than use the blood of the Hagui clan.

"It seems that we are really looking in the wrong direction."

Li Lei looked at the report submitted below, and said with certainty.

"We have always believed that the resurrection event is related to a large magic circle or altar, but what if this kind of resurrection does not require a magic circle or altar?"

Li Lei looked at Lu Dongbin and asked, "Mr. Lu, is there any method in the oriental magic system that can revive the dead?"

"There are many methods, but not many people are willing to adopt them."

Lu Dongbin said, "According to the Eastern cultivation system, people are divided into two parts, the body and the soul, and the soul can be divided into three souls and seven souls.

The soul lives on the body, so the body has life; at the same time, the three souls in the soul carry all the memories and emotions of the person.

After a person dies, the three souls will escape from the human body, while the seven souls will remain in the human body.

The three souls are usually lured to the underworld by ghosts. If the lifespan is over, they will go to the ten halls of Yama to be judged. Whether they go to hell or enter the six realms depends on what they have done in life; Imprisoned in the city until Yangshou is exhausted.

Under normal circumstances, if the three souls have to be sentenced to re-enter the human realm, all their memories will be washed away by Meng Po Tang when they pass through the Naihe Bridge, and finally they will be reincarnated in the six realms to complement the seven souls through the creation of heaven and earth.

And the seven souls will return to the world together with the decay of the human body, and finally disappear into the invisible.

However, if the three souls get a chance, they will have a chance to become a ghost cultivator before being led into the underworld by ghost messengers; similarly, if the seven souls and the body are buried in a corpse place, they will also have a chance to become a corpse cultivator.

But whether it is ghost repair or corpse repair, this road is very difficult to walk.

Before a ghost cultivator becomes a ghost general, the land, mountain gods, and city gods can arrest him to the underworld at any time;

There are only two options for ghost cultivators to enter the underworld, either to be favored by the Patriarch Styx of the Blood Sea and become an Asura clan; or to accept the incorporation of the underworld and become a ghost.

People in the world think that "gods" are the same as "immortals", but they don't know that immortals are at ease, but gods are trapped by their own godheads.

Once the godhead is destroyed, the god will never have the chance to become a fairy again.

The same is true for corpse repair, corpse repair is not tolerated by heaven and earth, so there must be visions in the corpse raising place.

If it is seen by a practitioner, then the corpse repair is a dead end.

Unless it is a person with a very precious fate, and after death, an expert will advise to arrange the shady house, otherwise the corpse repair is at best a bronze armor corpse.

Silver-armored corpses and golden-armored corpses appear very rarely, and only golden-armored corpses have the chance to become drought demons.

Only by becoming a Hanba can the body repair be considered a great success. "

"Mr. Lu, what you are talking about now is the practice method of life and death, so is it possible to resurrect him as himself?"

Li Lei asked.

"According to the current analysis of the case, these resurrected people are not cadavers, ghosts, or other magical creatures pretending to be, but are really the dead themselves.

And the strangest thing is that their bodies have not been moved. "

"This is amazing!"

Lu Dongbin was also interested at this time, he thought for a while, and finally said, "There are such cases, but they are too rare.

If Li benefactor has read "Feng Shen Yan Yi", he should know that Nezha is the incarnation of lotus.

If you have to make an analogy, Nezha's story is somewhat similar to the current resurrection incident.

But what needs to be known is that the level of aura in the Conferred Gods era is vastly different from that at this time.

What's more, the cultivation of Nezha's master Taiyi Zhenren is definitely not comparable to the current monks, and the pills and lotus flowers needed to revive Nezha are definitely not what can be produced in this era.

Therefore, it can be said that what is happening now should be absolutely impossible.

But now that it's happening, I feel weird too. "

Seeing that this question stumped Lu Dongbin, Li Lei became even more troubled.

"I'm going to church again tonight.

I will go alone this time, if there is any problem, I will give you a warning.

I can use teleportation skills to get back the apartment. Once I have to withdraw the apartment, you will activate the emergency measures here. "

Li Lei decided to give up.

"Is it too risky?"

Although Hiroshi Hamada believed that Li Lei, with the help of the system, would not be in danger, if he scared Father John away, then all the preliminary work would be in vain.

"Isn't there no better way?"

Li Lei said rather unhappily, "According to the results of our last night inspection, this Father John is not only involved with the underground forces in Chicago, but also has alliances with vampires and werewolves.

If you can't get the results as soon as possible, then it's better to simply scare the snake away and scare their plan back. "

"Although it is not the best method, it is still a method."

Lu Dongbin took the initiative to vote for Li Lei.

"Your purpose is not to catch bad people, but to sabotage some bad thing they might be about to do.

If it is not possible to completely cut off the possibility of other people's carrying out bad things, then it is better to scare them so that they do not dare to carry out or have to change places to carry out.

This is the case with many things. If the other party does not move, we may not be able to catch anything.

But if the other party makes a move, then we have more places to grab the handle.

That's the saying, do less and make less mistakes, and you can't make mistakes if you don't do it. "

"So, I can only force them to make a move. Only when they make a move can they have a chance to catch the flaw."

Li Lei said.

"Don't worry, with our ability, even if we can't get rid of them, it's impossible for them to hurt us.

If it doesn't work, we'll just hide in the apartment for a while. "

Li Lei's landlord privileges were semi-disclosed to Jason and the others, so they knew that Li Lei's apartment was absolutely safe.

So when they heard Li Lei's words, everyone laughed again.

It was night, and Li Lei appeared in this church again.

The difference is that Li Lei exchanged a full set of spells from the Maoshan School from the system mall, and then bought a compass commonly used by the Maoshan School.

Although the cultivation systems of the West and the East are different, Li Lei feels that there are still some commonalities, such as the issue of catching ghosts.

The West believes that ghosts are energy bodies, so ghosts can be captured according to changes in the electromagnetic field; while the compass in the East is actually a magnetic field detector, so the opinions of the two sides are surprisingly unified on this issue.

What Li Lei needs now is to catch a ghost here and see if he knows something.

According to some definitions in the West, the church is a bit like the Town God's Temple in the Eastern world.

The Town God's Temple has a very special meaning in the oriental town culture, especially after the Ming Dynasty "conferred the gods" on the City God

After that, Chenghuang Temple is very important for an oriental city.

If the government is the secular rule of the emperor over the place, then the Temple of the City God symbolizes the rule of the gods over the place by the heaven and the underworld.

However, the church does not have so much symbolic meaning, but it is said that ghosts will be influenced here.

Li Lei felt the magnetic needle of the compass vibrate. It seemed that there should be ghosts nearby. Li Lei immediately appeared towards the place where the ghosts were haunted.

After a few jumps, Li Lei appeared in the cemetery.

For cultivators, the purpose of this kind of filming is actually not that scary.

Because this kind of film-making purpose, even if it is not a good place with good Fengshui, it will never be reduced to a weird place like a corpse farm, so zombies rarely appear here.

As for ghosts, ghosts tend to gather here.

But if ghosts get together, whether it is the ghosts of the underworld, the land of the mountain gods in the human world, or the night wandering gods of the heavens, they will pay close attention to this place, so the ghosts here may play tricks, but few actively harm people.

In particular, the burials in this kind of cemetery are either local people or people from the same clan, so based on kinship, they will not take the initiative to harm others.

"Little devil, do you know where this is?

How dare you follow me? "

The ghost appeared, but in the form of a monster.

"Get out of here!

Otherwise, I will eat you in one bite, yes, I will eat you! "

Li Lei burst out laughing when he heard his threat.

People are three percent afraid of ghosts, but ghosts are seven percent afraid of people.

According to the theory of yin and yang, the human world is from the world from Shaoyang to Zhengyang, so as long as the ghost does not choose to appear under the sun when the yang energy is strong at sunrise, then the ghost can actually survive in the human world.

It's just that if ghosts don't practice, the yin energy in the human world is not enough to replenish what the ghosts have lost, so ghosts will gradually disappear after staying in the human world for a long time.

As for ghosts harming people, it is more often that ghosts tempt or frighten humans, and as a result, humans commit suicide by themselves.

Generally speaking, when adults in good health face ordinary ghosts, they should be afraid of ghosts.

Because the yang energy of the human body at this time is enough to cause harm to the ghost.

However, the old ghost in front of him is not afraid of him. Presumably, he must have received some good luck, so he has some cultivation skills in him.

But Li Lei naturally dared to catch ghosts, so he must have props in hand.

Li Lei made a move, and he took a Thunderbolt peach wood sword exchanged from the system store in his hand.

This lightning strike wood was originally the best material for Taoism to drive away ghosts and evil spirits, and peach wood is also the main material used by Taoist Maoshan sect to catch ghosts. If the two are fortunately combined, then it is a rare top-quality material for Taoism.

What's more, after the thunderbolt mahogany sword was carved, various runes to exorcise evil and suppress evil were written with fine cinnabar, and it was enshrined in front of the Sanqing Statue for hundreds of years.

As soon as Li Lei held the sword in his hand, the old ghost's expression turned ugly.

Although the western ghost may not know the eastern exorcism sword, the majestic yang energy of the mahogany sword can still make him feel frightened.

"Baby, what do you mean?

Are you driven by that bad priest of yours to force us to obey you? "

The old ghost said angrily, "If you insist on being aggressive, at worst we will fight you!"

As the old ghost's voice fell, other ghosts appeared in the cemetery.

These ghosts all showed the spirit of seeing death as home, and there was a gust of gloomy wind for a while.

"I have nothing to do with that Father John, and I also came to investigate him."

Li Lei felt that these ghosts seemed to know something, so he told his reason for coming.

"I think we should have a common language now?"

"If that's the case, I think we could indeed talk."

The old ghost waved his hand, and those ghosts disappeared.

"But this is not the place to talk, our actions just now should have alarmed that damned priest.

If you are not afraid, then follow me! "

The old ghost said that he would float forward, while Li Lei threw out a disappearing talisman to hide his whereabouts.

Li Lei followed the old ghost to a relatively large tomb, and the old ghost said, "This is my tomb, you can press the rose next to the cross to open my tomb.

hurry up!

There was already movement in the church. "

Li Lei pressed the rose flower, and the door of the tomb opened.

Li Lei dodged to hide in the tomb, and the door of the tomb closed quietly again.

The tomb passage was downward, and Li Lei used his magic wand to illuminate himself, and soon came to the middle of the tomb.

To Li Lei's surprise, the area of ​​the tomb was quite large. In addition to the coffin in the middle, there was a bed next to it, and a small desk beside the bed.

The candle on the desk was flickeringly lit, and a skinny old priest was lying on the bed, and a young man was standing on the desk, and the young man was looking at him in surprise.

The old ghost reassured: "Don't make a sound yet, I will explain when those people pass by."

After saying that, the old ghost disappeared.

The old man on the bed signaled the boy not to be afraid, and then signaled himself to say hello.

Li Lei nodded as a salute, but the current situation made Li Lei even more confused.

After about a few minutes, the old ghost finally appeared.

"Those people have left, but I guess I won't be able to go out tonight.

By the way, little guy, do you have any food with you?

Originally, I wanted to find something to eat for them, but you ruined it. Should you be responsible or something? "

Li Lei looked at the young man and the old man. He took out a pizza and a cup of hot milk for the young man from his system space, and then said to the old man, "I'm also a doctor. Let me see if you have any diseases." ?”

After Li Lei finished speaking, he took out the diagnostic instrument he developed and began to examine the old man.

In fact, the old man had no serious illness, but was very weak.

Li Lei said with some puzzlement, "I didn't find that you were seriously ill, nor did you have any fatal injuries, but your body is as weak as a 90-year-old man, and it will go out at any time like a candle in the wind.

Although I don't quite understand your Christian practice methods, people who practice religion generally live longer.

It's hard to be in your situation unless you're at the end of your life. "

"It seems that you are also a knowledgeable person."

The old man smiled and said, "I was originally the priest of this church.

Yes, John is my student.

I was just controlled by him, and he took over the whole church.

He replaced everyone in the church, but because he didn't know the most important secret of the church, he had to keep me.

That kid was originally a choir kid, and he found me by accident.

Because of sympathy, I took me and escaped, but where can we, the old and the young, escape?

Fortunately, James showed up, and he gave me his cemetery for refuge.

Little Jack and I have been hiding here for almost a year, living off the food that James and his friends managed to procure.

As for my body, I can only endure it like this. "

"Your body is already weak, but you still hid in this yin house. No wonder it's so bad."

Li Lei said.

According to oriental geomantic omen, it is worse for a living person to live in a haunted house than a living person to live in a haunted house.

The yin house is for the dead, and all Feng Shui is against it.

These adverse feng shui are tantamount to daily torture for living people, even if a Tongzigong master who is in his prime lives in the yin house for half a year, it will hurt the root.

"You can live until now, I can only say that you are very lucky."

"It should be God's will. He will not let me leave before I see John's fate."

said the old man.

"By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet.

I am Father Robin, may I ask your honorable name? "

"You can call me Li Lei.

My public identity is the director of the Special Biological Management Office of the federal government, and I am responsible for dealing with these ghosts and ghosts. "

Li Lei explained to himself.

"Because we had a case from the FBI that there were multiple resurrections in Chicago and surrounding cities, we came here to investigate.

According to our preliminary investigation, a lot of evidence points to this church, so I visited this church at night.

When we came yesterday, we found that Father John had connections with vampires and werewolves, and when we came again today, I was attracted by this old James ghost. "

"It turns out that he really used magic stones to do these things!"

Father Robin's tears flowed down immediately, "I should have destroyed the magic stone in the first place, and shouldn't keep it because of the vanity it brought to the church!

I am guilty! "

"Okay, don't get too excited!"

Li Lei immediately took out a bottle of calming potion and gave it to Father Robin, "Your body cannot withstand such agitation."

After quieting Father Robin, Li Lei said again, "It seems that I will stay here for a while, so I'm afraid I need to tidy up here."

Li Lei waved his wand and chanted several defensive spells, which made the tomb room more secure and made it difficult for ordinary people and magic races to notice the changes in the tomb room.

Li Lei then conjured up a sofa bed and a soft carpet, followed by two warm sleeping bags.

Finally, he conjured a portable toilet in the corner.

He said to the boy, "Is your name Jack?

Let's take a shower first, shall we?

Here are your clothes. "

With a wave of Li Lei's magic wand, a suit of clothes fell beside the boy.

"I don't like people who don't like to be clean, hurry up and take a shower!"

Li Lei scowled.

The teenager was so frightened that he put down a quarter of the pizza and went to the bathroom with his clothes.

While the young man was taking a bath, Li Leiyou put a purifier and new lighting in the room. The brightness of the room improved a lot, and Li Lei nodded in satisfaction.

"Little devil, this is my tomb. Have you ever asked me what the owner means?"

James looked at the cemetery that looked a little like a human living room, and he asked a little dumbfounded, "Remember to take these things with you before you leave."

"James, he'll do it."

Father Robin found that his cot had also been replaced by a more comfortable single bed.

"Okay, let me show you how to treat your current body."

Li Lei took out a few bottles of potions for nourishing blood and nourishing qi, "I'll take care of your body first, and then I'll see what medicine I can give you.

Your current body is too weak to take any medicine, otherwise your body will be destroyed by these medicines before I cure your disease.

You drink these bottles of medicine first. "

After Father Robin drank Li Lei's potion, he felt that his body became much stronger and his complexion became ruddy, especially his originally cold body began to warm up.

However, Li Lei's expression was still serious, and he asked: "Father Robin, my question may be a bit offensive, but I have to ask you.

Generally speaking, the mana that your priests or priests can drive is related to your beliefs. Only the purest and most devout beliefs can bring you the most powerful power.

Of course, there is another way to do it, and that is to use your own soul to make deals with certain existences that are contrary to your beliefs.

Father Robin, your soul is very missing. What I want to ask is, have you ever made some deals with certain beings? "

"I thought you couldn't see it?"

Father Robin said awkwardly.

"Do you know why our church is so magnificent?"

Li Lei is also a little interested, because this church has no historical and cultural significance, but it is one of the most luxurious churches in Chicago and even North America.

Although it is now in decline, the scale of the church and those decorations remind everyone all the time that this church was once brilliant, and it was very brilliant.

"Because our church can help those people live longer.

Of course, only our most devout believers can.

How to reflect your piety, that is money. "

"You mean, the church has been helping some people achieve longevity, and what they return to the church is wealth?"

Li Lei felt that this seemed to explain it clearly.

Because according to some information, this church is said to be closely related to a monastery.

And all the known members of this monastery are American chaebol families, so one can imagine the wealth of this monastery.

"yes.

Because there are magic stones in our church, magic stones can bring the dead back to the world. "

Father Robin said calmly, "No matter how you died, as long as your body is still there, we have a solution.

In fact, even if the corpse is gone, we still have a way to summon you back. "
