Chapter 65: The River Styx died, and the Yellow Spring died
Qi Hufei returned to the office, and Fan Wuyi was walking out with the yin and yang bottle.
"Another mission?" Qi Hufei asked.
Fan Wuyi said: "Yes, there is an old lady in the county hospital, I'll pick it up." β
Qi Hufei went to the office and sat down, took out the manuscript that Judge Liu had written for him, and read it.
Liu Tong is really from a clerical background, and the manuscripts he writes are not leaky.
Qi Feifei watched it a few times and knew it in his heart.
At this time, Xie Bi'an returned.
Qi Hufei stood up and greeted: "Team Xie, you're back!" β
Xie Bi'an said: "Oh, how are you, are you okay?" β
Qi Hufei said: "It's okay, it doesn't affect the work." β
Xie Bi'an said: "It's okay, how are you preparing for the afternoon speech?" β
Qi Hu raised the manuscript in his hand: "It's all ready." β
Xie Bi'an took it and looked at it, and asked, "Judge Liu's handwriting?" β
Qi Hufei said: "The captain has a sharp eye. β
Xie Bi'an smiled: "I'm not a monkey. β
Qi Hufei asked, "Are there any new clues in yesterday's case?" β
Xie Bi'an made a gesture, and Qi Feifei followed him into the inner office.
Xie Bi'an sat down in the office chair, threw a stack of papers in his hand on the table, and said:
"The autopsy results are in."
"What was the cause of death?"
"Natural death."
"Natural death?"
Qi Feifei frowned, remembering the distorted face, "So, it's really a sacrifice of souls?" β
"From what we know so far, it is. But the strange thing is......" Xie Bi'an tapped his fingers lightly on the table, "the scar on his abdomen is new, and after an autopsy, it was found that the deceased had curettage marks in his body. β
"Curettage?"
Qi Feifei had little experience in this area, but he also knew what it meant to curettage.
"Abortion?"
"Have you ever seen an abortion that requires a caesarean section?"
"Was it a C-section?"
Xie Bi'an nodded a little heavily, and said, "She may have sacrificed not only her soul, but also a fetus." β
Qi Jufei picked up the materials on the table, and inside was the detailed investigation record of the police.
"But the investigation showed that more than one neighbor was able to confirm that she was not pregnant." He said.
"Look at the last time those neighbors saw her." Xie Bi'an said.
Qi Hufei flipped through it and said, "The last person to see her was the one who adopted her cat, seven days before she died. β
"What does that mean, you think about it?"
"Meaning ......" Qi Jufei felt a little ridiculous, "she conceived a child in seven days and gave birth by caesarean section?" β
"Now there is only such an explanation. β
"What about the kid?"
"Naturally, the person who helped her with the operation took it away."
"But sacrificing a soul can be understood as going astray into a demonic path, and what is the purpose of sacrificing a baby?"
Xie Bi'an frowned tightly and said, "So, this may not be a simple soul sacrifice incident, but also a demonization incident. β
"Demonization?" Qi Hufei heard this word for the first time.
"It is a person who cultivates a demon pill in the process of cultivation, and then transforms into a demon, which is called demonization."
"And this kind of thing? I've only heard that youkai want to turn into humans, and there are even people who turn into demons. β
Xie Bi'an said: "In ancient times, people and demons lived together, and demonization was very common. The Heavenly Dao rotates, and after several catastrophes, the demon race has declined, and the human race has flourished, so there are few such things. I've only heard about it, and it's the first time I've come across it. β
"You mean that the deceased has practiced the demon pill, so he is already a demon?"
"Quite possibly." Xie Bi'an said, "First practice the demon pill, and then use some special methods to let the demon pill transform into a baby in the body, and then take out the demon baby, which is much simpler than the demon to form a person." β
Qi Hufei remembered that when he looked at the dead in the mirror, he only saw the face of the god of death, which obviously belonged to the demon path, not the demon type.
If the deceased had been demonized during his lifetime, the mirror should be able to shine through.
Could it be the black mist that wraps around the face......
He remembered the black mist on Qilin Mountain again.
Qin Yubai said that the meridians in his body were injured by black qi, and it must have been caused by that thing.
Rub, what the hell is this?
Is this up to me?
But if it's aimed at me, with its uncanny power and lethality, it can come and kill me at any time, and you don't have to beat around the bush.
Is it related to the face at the bottom of the river?
Qi Hufei remembered what he saw that day and asked: "Team Xie, is there such a river in this world, the goose feathers do not float, the wind does not fluctuate, and there is a big mountain on the bank, which leads to the sky." β
Xie Bi'an asked, "Why are you asking this?" β
Qi Hu flew out and brought in the painting he had taken from the deceased's house, and said, "That's what I thought of when I saw this painting." β
Xie Bi'an stood up, stared at the painting for a long time, and said, "This is very similar to the legendary weak water!" β
"Weak water? Isn't that the Chinese language of the Buddhist scriptures? β
Qi Hufei thought of what the Buddha said - three thousand weak water, only take one scoop to drink.
Xie Bi'an said: "It is rumored that there is water in the north of Kunlun, and its strength cannot defeat mustard, so it is called weak water. He also said that there is a phoenix island in the middle of the West Sea, and the weak water surrounds it, and the feathers do not float, and the phoenix cannot come out of it, and no one can reach it. There is also a saying that weak water surrounds the mountains. β
"Where the hell is that?"
"I don't know exactly where. I only know one thing......"
Xie Bi'an raised his head, his gaze seemed to pass through the wall, looking into the distance.
"Weak water leads to the River Styx!"
"Isn't the River Styx a river formed by the water of the Yellow Spring?" Qi Jufei asked.
Xie Bi'an shook his head and said: "Above the bottom of the shadow, there is the Yellow Spring, there is the River Styx, one is born, and one is dead. Heaven is noble, so the earth is in charge of the Yellow Spring, and the bridge is built for people to be reincarnated. β
"What about the River Styx?"
"Styx is dead."
"Where can you lead to death?" Qi Feifei didn't understand a little.
"Where do you think people go when they die?"
"Of course, the soul returns to the underworld."
"Will the soul die?"
"Of course I'll die."
For a cultivator like Qi Hufei, it was very easy to destroy an ordinary Yin Spirit.
"Where did the soul go after it died?"
"Naturally, it's gone."
Qi Hufei thought of Gu Xiaofei.
If Yuan Xiaobao hadn't cleaned up the remnants of her soul at that time, her soul would have disappeared into the mountains and wilderness soon.
Xie Bi'an said: "Think about it again, such as the big snake in Qilin Mountain." β
Qi Hufei didn't see a sword flying outside that day, but when he heard about it later, he could imagine the power of that sword.
"The serpent has perished." He said.
"Where did the body and spirit go?" Xie Bi'an asked.
Qi Hufei was stunned for a moment, and suddenly struck a spirit.
yes, where did you go after you were gone?
Is it really gone?
If it seems to be common sense in cognition that the soul of ordinary people dissipates into informity, then what about the soul of a practitioner or even the primordial spirit?
For example, Yuan Xiaobao, will a yin god like him die?
Where do you go after death?
Death may not be as simple as I imagined in the past.
"Could it be that the River Styx leads to another level of death?"
Xie Bi'an nodded and said: "The River Styx leads directly to the bottom of the Netherlands, it is a real death, a complete death!" β
Qi Hufei remembered the face lying at the bottom of the river, the face that symbolized death, like the Grim Reaper.
"People think that the eighteen layers of hell in the underworld are to punish evil spirits, but they don't know that this is just a faΓ§ade." Xie Bi'an said, "In fact, the real purpose of building the eighteenth layer of hell is to block the dead qi of the River Styx and prevent people from sinking into the bottom after death. β
"What's in the Dark?"
"I don't know, no one knows."
