Chapter 19 Searching for the Soul and Knowing the Soul
Zhang Qingyu narrowed his eyes slightly, held the hibiscus king in his mouth, and lay on the leather sofa watching TV.
Zhang Qingyu, who is in his fifties, has a rosy face, and his face is still full of alcohol. Although he is just a small village chief, he often goes out to banquets, so he is very addicted to alcohol, and his stomach is round and he gains weight very well.
Zhang Qingyu has been the village chief for 16 years. He was the village chief who spent the longest time in the position of Qinglong Village after liberation. Because of this, he is very prestigious and strong in the village, and is more domineering in dealing with people and things.
Just like the demolition incident in the village back then, if Zhang Qingyu hadn't come forward and cooperated with the county government to suppress the matter, I still don't know how big the matter would have been.
Zhang Qingyu's prestige not only comes from his long-term tenure, but also from his relatives. Zhang Qingyu's brothers all work in the key departments of Feisha County. His son Zhang Eryang is also the deputy director in charge of criminal investigation of Feisha County Public Security Bureau. He is also a big shot in this small county town.
Anyone who wants to provoke Zhang Qingyu has to consider the Buddhas behind him. Therefore, Zhang Qingyu not only became the local emperor of Qinglong Village, but also became a famous talented man and a favor for all walks of life.
Zhang Qingyu had the opportunity to climb to the position of township mayor, but he had just graduated from elementary school and was a little reluctant to get into the officialdom in this era, so he was too lazy to think about it.
In fact, although he is just a village chief, Zhang Qingyu has lived a comfortable and free life over the years. His only regret is that his son Zhang Eryang gave birth to a daughter...
Zhang Qingyu is a typical old concept of favoring boys over girls, so he forced his daughter-in-law to compromise and found a relationship to give her a fake certificate for her granddaughter with congenital disorders, and got a fertility indicator, which allowed her daughter-in-law to give birth to a second child.
This time, Zhang Qingyu's daughter-in-law was quite successful for him, and finally gave birth to a boy named Zhang Yang and nicknamed Yang Yang.
Zhang Qingyu regarded his grandson Yangyang as the pearl in his hand, and asked his son to send Yangyang back to Qinglong Village every weekend and winter and summer vacation.
Zhang Qingyu actually has a house in the county town, but he thought the city was quarrel, the air was not good, and most of the food was poisonous and harmful, so he would rather live in a village with beautiful mountains and rivers than go to the city to suffer.
After thinking about the past and watching TV, Zhang Qingyu yawned a lot, and the drunkenness was a little aroused. He was just about to fall asleep when he heard Yangyang shouting "Grandpa" outside.
"Yangyang, what's wrong?" Zhang Qingyu's drunkenness suddenly woke up and asked nervously.
"Grandpa, look, my Tyrannosaurus Rex!" Yangyang ran in panting with a Tyrannosaurus Rex toy.
"Hmm? What's wrong with the Tyrannosaurus Rex?" Zhang Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief and closed his eyes again.
"It has a little brother!" Yangyang shouted excitedly as if Columbus had discovered the New World, "The Tyrannosaurus Rex I bought before did not have a little brother!"
While Yangyang said, he shone the Tyrannosaurus Rex's belly for his grandfather to show him, and there was indeed a protrusion there.
"Look, this is its little brother!" Yangyang bent his middle finger and bounced hard on an important part of the Tyrannosaurus Rex twice, his face full of excitement and happiness.
"Oh, I'm really a big discovery... Then you just pop it a hundred times." Zhang Qingyu opened his eyes and said casually.
Costa's face turned green immediately.
The Tyrannosaurus Rex "toy" that Yangyang picked up in the village was played by Costa. Because Lin Ban suspected that Zhang Qingyu had tampered with the demolition incident that year, he was preparing to investigate him, but Lin Ban and Mu Yun could not use any magic now, so they could only let Costa take action.
Costa can absorb the demonic energy in the spiritual energy, so the mana recovery is the fastest. Now it can use a lot of spells, which is just in handy.
Costa took on this simple task with joy. It only needed to remain motionless, and it was a natural Tyrannosaurus Rex toy. It was said that the food in the village chief Zhang's house was very good, so when no one paid attention, it could sneak into Zhang Qingyu's kitchen for a big meal and improve the food.
So after Costa had enough food and drink, Yangyang was playing in the yard and suddenly stepped on a Tyrannosaurus Rex toy.
But Costa did not expect that the young man and the ghost were very sharp and had a very sharp observation. After playing with it for two or three minutes, he discovered the difference between it and ordinary toys.
Costa’s little brother was bounced at least ten times, not only was healing and itchy, but his self-esteem was also very hurt - he was a demon god after all, but he was so blasphemed by mortals. He was still a little brat over five years old!
And now, Zhang Qingyu, the plague god, has come up with a bad idea of "bang a hundred times"!
"Master, your plan is terrible. His second uncle's place is almost blown by this little kid!" Costa's spiritual sense of transmission was extremely sad and angry.
"Hahaha... quench your anger, do your job well, come back and invite you to eat a hundred pairs of roasted chicken wings!" Lin Ban laughed at first, and then dispelled Costa's resentment in one sentence.
"Grandpa, look, look, its little brother is so big, really!" Seeing that Zhang Qingyu didn't pay much attention to him, Yang was anxious and pulled Zhang Qingyu's clothes relentlessly.
Zhang Qingyu was not interested in this topic at all. He was already drowsy. However, when he heard the word "so big", he immediately became energetic. While taking the Tyrannosaurus Rex from Yangyang's hand, he smiled and said, "How big is it? It's bigger than yours?"
"Of course not as big as mine!" Yangyang said proudly.
"It's indeed not as big as our baby." Zhang Qingyu also bounced his fingers, then nodded, "Well, but it's a bit elastic, and it's done as if it's real."
Costa's face turned green again.
"Hmm? It seems that its face can change color?" Zhang Qingyu's eyes flashed.
"Yes, it will blink!" Yangyang shouted excitedly.
"Oh? It turns out that it's still electric. This little brother seems to be the control switch... By the way, where did this come from?" Zhang Qingyu took the Tyrannosaurus Rex and looked carefully.
"I picked it up!" Yangyang smiled proudly.
Just Yangyang's words, Zhang Qingyu can never hear them again...
When Zhang Qingyu saw the eyes of the Tyrannosaurus Rex, he was fixed, his mind was spinning, and his eyes were full of Venus.
In fact, after Costa became the size of a mouse, his eyes, which were already very small, almost had to be seen clearly with a magnifying glass.
But at this moment, Costa's small eyes were like a bottomless black vortex, imprisoning Zhang Qingyu's entire soul.
This is the secret method of the demon clan - searching for souls and recognizing spirits!
This secret technique can read the soul memories of those with lower skills, and for mortals like Zhang Qingyu, it is naturally easy to capture.
"Lin Dongshe! Lin Ban! Land acquisition! Demolition! Kickback! Bribery! Officials!"
In the black vortex, Costa's instructions were constantly issued. Zhang Qingyu's soul was no longer under his control, and all the memories related to these words surged out, heading straight for the black vortex.
These memories are the truth that Lin has been thinking about for half a decade. He has always suspected that there was a huge trick in the demolition. The car accident of his adoptive father may also be related to Zhang Qingyu, but Lin has not found any evidence in the past few years. Fortunately, now with Costa help...
Costa read the memories at an incredible speed and quickly found the information Lin Ban needed, and then it sent out new keywords according to Lin Ban's arrangement.
"Bank card, passbook, password!"
"Jewelry, gold, silver, car, house, money!"
“Grilled whole lamb, roasted suckling pig, roasted chicken wings, delicious!”
The last keyword obviously has nothing to do with Lin Ban's instructions, it was purely added by Costaxing.
But Costa was a little stunned as soon as he issued these new instructions. There were not many related memories in the previous ones, but the memories related to "delicious" were really overwhelming, making its soul a little overwhelmed.
The memories related to "delicious" seem to have a lot of "fun" content, most of which are related to naked women. The scenes of the pan-hearted battle made Costa feel itchy and he was breathing heavily.
"These despicable mortals really enjoy it..." Costa exclaimed in his heart, and then decisively cut off these memories.
"Grandpa, return the Tyrannosaurus Rex to me, return it to me!" At this time, Yangyang saw Zhang Qingyu staring at his beloved toy in a daze, and was almost crying.
"Oh..." Zhang Qingyu seemed to wake up from a long dream, with a pale face and extremely tired expression, as if he had just died.
"For you..." Zhang Qingyu reached out his hand, but handed Yangyang a pack of cigarettes, and his right hand still held Costa tightly.
Yangyang was anxious and slapped the cigarette off, grabbed the Tyrannosaurus Rex back into his hands, and ran to the yard to play happily.
Inside the room, Zhang Qingyu was in confusion. He felt that he had just had a long nightmare, and memories of this life surged repeatedly, like a tide...
"Is it because people are old and in a daze? It seems that it's better to drink less of this wine..." Zhang Qingyu frowned and thought.
In the yard, Yangyang was playing with Tyrannosaurus Rex, and found a colorful ball fell into the yard.
Yangyang cheered, ran over and picked up the big ball, played with excitement for a while, and then he remembered the Tyrannosaurus Rex again.
But there was no sign of Tyrannosaurus Rex on the ground. After searching for a long time, Yangyang finally burst into tears with grievance: "Grandpa, Tyrannosaurus Rex is gone!"
"Master, all his memories are in my mind!" Outside the yard, Costa ran sneakily to Lin Ban's feet, and his spiritual sense said.
Lin Ban grabbed Costa with one hand, quickly drilled into a bamboo forest, and began to carefully check those memory fragments.
Chapter completed!
