He Chenxue's question about becoming an immortal and becoming a Buddha also happens to correspond to the names of the cave and the cave, and in these two names, the cave is used by Taoism, and the cave is used by Buddhism.

"Dingdong means Taoism's entry into the determination, but this entry is ambiguous, and Buddhism's meditation is not the same, how to describe it, it is similar to a kind of calm practice before the Tao, often people say that they need to cross the tribulation before becoming an immortal? But before or after the tribulation, there needs to be a process of meditation, I forget whether it is before or after, in short, the process is very long, for those who can really do it, it is the easiest thing, but for those who can't do it but have to do it, even if they have patience, a few hours is the limit, and they will be very tired, and the hunger will be many times higher than usual. Hu Sanqian explained seriously, "But in this process, the scope of your thinking can only be limited to such a large point, in other words, it allows you to think about your body and soul born in a large world within a small world, in today's words, it probably means 'starting from scratch'." ”

He Chenxue smiled: "It's too profound, I don't understand." ”

The torture technique nodded, and Hu Sanqian said again: "The Buddhist sitting cave is a bit similar to the sitting tank of the flesh Buddha, and the sitting tank is actually not mysterious, and now there are craftsmen doing such things." ”

He Chenxue immediately asked, "Didn't the monk do it himself?" ”

"No, that's a craft." Hu Sanqian shook his head, "Before people are about to pass away, they are generally clear, and the monks are even more so, they know very well that their limit is approaching, and then they begin to reduce eating and drinking, and eventually evolve to never eat, at this time, the craftsman will begin to make preparations, prepare a special cylinder, not just any cylinder, most of the time are custom-made, and so after the monk dies, first do the embalming of the corpse, and then spread a layer of corpse ashes at the bottom of the cylinder, and then add charcoal, and then the body of the monk who passed away, It is also called the Dharma body plate sitting and burying it, and then filling the jar with crushed sandalwood, charcoal and other things, and finally sealing the cylinder with a lid, and then opening it after a thousand days. ”

He Chenxue nodded: "I thought the process was similar to making a mummy." ”

Torture shook his head: "It's too far, mummies have to take out the internal organs, but the flesh Buddha will not, when I went to Jiuhua Mountain before, I was curious to inquire, there is indeed a kind of embalming treatment after death, but this craft has been lost, and after a thousand days, in fact, after almost three years after the cylinder is opened, there must be a process, first wrap a layer of gauze on the body of the law, and then apply a layer of raw lacquer on the gauze, and after the raw lacquer dries, apply another layer of lime gypsum powder, The final process is to apply gold leaf to the outside, so that the physical body of the Buddha becomes a golden body. ”

Hu Sanqian sighed: "It sounds simple, but it is difficult to do, the last process alone, to complete in a short time, it also requires many people and many links, after all, time is limited." Because even if it is a physical Buddha, long-term exposure to the air will cause damage, leading to the loss of previous efforts, and of course, many special external conditions are required. ”

"For a long time, there have been people on the international black market who trade incarnated Buddhas, and the price is very expensive." Hu Sanqian took a deep breath, "Last year, someone proposed to me and my dad that we should have the opportunity to help him get a physical Buddha and bid for one million. ”

Xingshu shook his head: "One million? On the international black market, the price of the incarnated Buddha is calculated in the millions of dollars. ”

He Chenxue turned her head to look around: "In other words, this place was used by the Khitan Kingdom to store a similar body Buddha back then?" ”

"No, there's another contradiction here." Hu Sanqian pointed to a sitting cave, "The earliest Khitan belief is not Buddhism, that is after the establishment of the Liao State, just like what was said before the criminal art, the totem is the green ox and white horse, and their belief is also evolved from this, they worship heaven and earth, divide the god of heaven and the god of the earth, the god of heaven is the white horse, and the god of the earth is the green cow, so when they sacrifice to the heaven and the earth, they must use the green ox and the white horse, and at the same time, because of this relationship, the sun and the moon are respected, even after the establishment of the Liao State, this has not changed, "History of Liao" Among them, it is recorded that the emperor of Liao worshiped the sun and the moon. ”

He Chenxue responded: "Yes, I remember that after the establishment of the Great Liao, Yelu Abaoji began to advocate Buddhism, and countless temples were built in the territory of the Liao Kingdom in a hundred years, but this was excavated before the establishment of the Great Liao, why is this also the case?" ”

Xingshu said: "Maybe it has something to do with the Bohai Kingdom, don't forget, the Bohai Kingdom was influenced by the Tang Dynasty and also advocated Buddhism. ”

He Chenxue thought for a while and said, "Do you mean that you still think that this place has something to do with the Cast Iron Immortal?" ”

"Yes." Xingshu nodded, "Anyway, whether these organs are good, or that kind of psychological trap, they are too similar to Heaven and Earth, they look complicated but are actually simple to crack, but they can be created but very complicated, in the final analysis, it is a contradiction, by the way, three thousand, what were you measuring before?" ”

Hu Sanqian smiled: "I'm afraid that saying it will scare you." ”

"What?" The torture technique is very confused.

Hu Sanqian pointed around: "You see, what do you think are the most unreasonable places in this so-called prison?" ”

Xingshu looked at the few torches lit around: "First of all, there must be someone here, and the torches were lit a few hours before we came, I counted them, there are 10 in total, up and down, left and right, almost all of them are lit up here, this is unreasonable." ”

"Yes, that's obvious, and there's one of the most obvious things." Hu Sanqian drew a plan on the ground with stones, "Look, this is the plan I drew after measuring before, what shape is it." ”

He Chenxue lowered her head and went down: "Rectangle." ”

"Yes, rectangular, and the place in the middle of the two sides that looks like a passage is not spacious, from the left stone wall to the right side, you can walk a distance of about six steps at most, at best it is five and a half meters." Hu Sanqian said, and marked on the drawing again, "Actually, this entire underground cell is like a coffin, an underground coffin dug out in one mouth. ”

He Chenxue was startled, and the torture technique raised her eyes to look at Hu Sanqian: "What do you mean?" ”

"To put it bluntly, this place should have been punished by the Khitans in the past...... How so? Where to punish some political prisoners, don't kill them, keep them here, let them repent and wait for death. Hu Sanqian took out a notebook from his bag, took out a few washed photos from it and said, "Look, these are some Khitan murals unearthed ten years ago, I reproduced them from magazines, because after you said about Tiandifu last time, I was interested in investigating things about the Khitan Kingdom and the Bohai Kingdom, and I accidentally saw these murals in a magazine, and I asked a professor of literature and history in Mudanjiang, and he said that it should be a living burial method in the early years." ”

The torture technique looked at the photos, and after reading one and handed it to He Chenxue, the photo shows a group of people carrying a living person and sending it to a cave, and then there is a cave in the cave, and finally that person is put into the cave and sits cross-legged on the ground, the others run away, and the person sitting in the cave is kneeling there, as if praying for something.

He Chenxue looked at it and asked: "The living burial method is the same as what you said before, is it to put political prisoners in and fend for themselves?" ”

"It's pretty much the same, but because of the lack of accurate information, I can only judge from the professor's words and some of my experience." Hu Sanqian explained, "But there must be secrets here, it's not that simple, I have to look for it carefully, and this is not the final end, we may continue to move forward." ”

Xingshu nodded: "Let's take a closer look, I will also investigate what I found before, Chenxue, you hurry up and see what is in the leather shell, and I will look for other hidden compartments one by one, there may be some clues." ”

When the torture technique got up to leave, He Chenxue stopped him and said, "Torture, I can't figure it out, what did you say about the identical peerless painting you saw in the basement studio of the peerless building?" We found it now, but we didn't find any connection with that peerless painting. ”

Xingshu said: "I don't know, I can only take one step at a time." ”

In the riverside wetland, Fu Mingwei stood in front of the car, looking at the dozen or so deep pits dug in the wetland in front of him, as well as the tired and panting policemen on one side and the surrounding residents who came to help, turned around and opened the car door, and looked at Qi Baye.

Qi Baye just shook his head: "That night, we obviously buried Xia Jiezhu here, and before burying it, Pan Feng also wrapped several layers of plastic wrap and plastic sheeting. ”

Fu Mingwei closed the car door, stood there and pondered for a while, waved his hand to Dong Guozhi, and instructed: "Give the residents who came to help get some hardship money, and then take the brothers out for a meal, and I will take Qi Baye back first." As he spoke, Fu Mingwei took out a thousand yuan and stuffed it into Dong Guozhi's hand, and without saying anything else, he turned around and got into the car, but he paused in front of the car door, turned around and admonished, "When eating, don't say it's me for a treat." ”

Dong Guozhi stood there, waiting for Fu Mingwei to leave, then turned to his colleague next to him and said, "Team Fu gave me the money and asked me to take you to dinner, as before, he didn't let me tell you that it was his private money." ”

The colleague just smiled bitterly and began to pack up the tools, according to Dong Guoyi's instructions, distributing wages to the residents who helped.

Dong Guozhi looked at the deep pits dug out one by one, and knew without detailed reasoning that the body of Xia Jiezhu buried that night must have been dug up and taken away by Pan Feng again.

Fu Mingwei, who was sitting in the car, didn't say a word, he knew that the clue was broken again, and from the beginning he was worried that if there was no key person like Pan Feng, the machine that operated the entire case would be missing the most important gear, and then everything would come to a standstill.

Now that what he fears most has happened as scheduled, can he really only hope for torture?

What happened in the underground tunnels? Are those things relevant to this case? Fu Mingwei looked out the window, he had a strange feeling, he felt that there were still a lot of things that he hadn't figured out in the whole case, and now all he got were fragmented clues, and if he wanted to glue them back together, he still needed the "glue" in Pan Feng's hand.

Ji Dewu! Fu Mingwei had this name in his mind, and at the same time a thought popped up - what if Ji Dewu was pretending to be crazy and stupid?

After sending Qi Baye back to the detention center, Fu Mingwei immediately drove to Zhenyang Youfu Hospital and directly found Xing Guodong, because he was the adoptive father of criminal art, and Fu Mingwei didn't go around in circles, so he asked straight to the point: "Dean Xing, is Ji Dewu really crazy?" ”

"Wait a minute!" Xing Guodong turned around and left the office, and returned after five or six minutes, holding three cowhide file bags in his hands, and then handed them to Fu Mingwei, "This is all the information of Ji Dewu, which also contains the relevant information of his early illness in another hospital, as well as detailed information on external injuries. ”

Fu Mingwei shook his head: "Dean Xing, I don't have much time, there is too much information here, I can't finish reading it for a while, you are a professional doctor, I want to know what you think." ”

"From a professional point of view, I can tell you for sure that Ji Dewu is not pretending, he has a serious mental illness." Xing Guodong sat down and said, "His condition is a bit complicated, and it belongs to the overlap of internal stimulation and external stimulation. ”

Fu Mingwei shook his head: "I don't understand." ”

"In fact, everyone has potential mental illness, you and I are the same, even if it is a person whose life is smooth sailing, there will be the same, Ji Dewu was rescued after his ten fingers were cut off, he did not immediately become the current appearance, but very calm, at that time, doctors in other hospitals tested his brain wave state, although he was calm on the surface, but in fact he was constantly thinking about something, it was already different from ordinary people, so, before he cut off his finger, this person's mental state was problematic and very depressed, There is something I want to say, but for some reason I didn't say it. Xing Guodong said this and thought about it again, "What I said before is that it comes from the inside, and the external stimulus, on the one hand, is because of the severed finger, on the other hand, someone sent a gift to his ward, after the gift was opened, inside was a set of painting tools, after Ji Dewu saw those things, he subconsciously looked at his hands, and then became ill." ”

Fu Mingwei nodded: "So, is it really as the information says, Ji Dewu had a disease before, similar to the symptoms of autism?" ”

"Yes, very serious autism, but the strange thing is that I have read his very old information before, and the information says that his illness belongs to the kind of good and bad times, which is very rare, you must know that autistic patients do not have intermittent onset." Xing Guodong shook his head, "The world is so big, there are no surprises, especially in the industry I am engaged in, people are the strangest creatures. ”

"Can I go see him?" Fu Mingwei asked.

Xing Guodong got up: "I'll take you there, but you can't get close to him, the last time the torture technique approached him, after he was stimulated, he took a long time to recover, and now he is finally calm, if he is stimulated again, I am afraid that he will go to extremes." ”

Fu Mingwei said: "I understand. ”

Xing Guodong led Fu Mingwei to Ji Dewu's ward, Xing Guodong opened the locked small window, Fu Mingwei stood at the window, and saw Ji Dewu sitting on the bed, sitting there motionless with his head down.

Fu Mingwei stepped out of the way and asked in a low voice, "Has he always been like this before?" ”

"There are always hours or two a day when I sit with my back to the door." Xing Guodong said, "He may be looking at something, something he doesn't want people to know." ”

After Xing Guodong finished speaking, Fu Mingwei came closer to take a look, Xing Guodong understood, and said in a low voice: "Wait a minute, I will ask the nurse to push him out to bask in the sun in the corridor, you pay attention." ”

After Xing Guodong finished speaking, he didn't call the nurse immediately, but turned around and made a call, and not long after, Tong Yunhui, who was guarding the door, came, stood on the side and nodded at Fu Mingwei, and then stepped forward and said to Xing Guodong: "Dean of the Criminal Division, don't take it as an example." ”

Fu Mingwei was very puzzled, I don't know why Xing Guodong wanted to find the gatekeeper?

Xing Guodong smiled and nodded, and then Xing Guodong waved his hand to call the nurse, and the nurse stood at the door and knocked softly.

The moment the door was knocked, Fu Mingwei clearly saw Ji Dewu sitting on the bed leaning down and doing something, then straightened up, turned around, sat on the edge of the bed, was supported by the nurse and sat in the wheelchair, and then was pushed out.

Xing Guodong and Fu Mingwei immediately stood aside, while Tong Yunhui stood by the door, and when Ji Dewu came out, Tong Yunhui leaned over slightly and said in a low voice: "Teacher Ji, you have a good complexion, do you remember me?" I'm an old boy guarding the door. ”

Ji Dewu glanced up at Tong Yunhui and didn't say anything, and then the nurse pushed him away.

After Ji Dewu, who was in a wheelchair, went away, Fu Mingwei immediately stepped forward and was about to walk into the room, Tong Yunhui's right hand shook, shook out a photo from his sleeve, held it in his hand, and handed it over: "Officer, don't go in, what you are looking for is here." ”

Fu Mingwei took the photo suspiciously, and at the same time saw Tong Yunhui's left hand without knuckles, and then moved his eyes to look at the photo, he was stunned just after a glance, and then when he was about to say something, Xing Guodong stepped forward and said: "You can't take it, you can retake it, if you take it, he will lose this photo, and his condition will definitely worsen." ”

Fu Mingwei glanced at Tong Yunhui, who was still standing there and waiting, with strange eyes, and then put it on the windowsill, retook several photos with his mobile phone, and handed it to Tong Yunhui after making sure that the photo was clear, and Tong Yunhui took the photo and walked straight in the direction of Ji Dewu, and put the photo back to the location where Ji Dewu originally hid the photo with the previous method.

Fu Mingwei looked at Tong Yunhui's back: "Dean Xing, you are really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon here." ”

"He used to be a celebrity, you ask the older generation of police, especially the anti-pickpocketing police, no one doesn't know him, but he has long since washed his hands, and he is still one of the teachers of criminal arts." Xing Guodong said and turned his head to look at Fu Mingwei, "I didn't tell him that you were a policeman, but he could see at a glance that in fact, when you walked in here, many people here knew what you did." ”

Fu Mingwei nodded: "Dean Xing, thank you." ”

"I've been working with the police for years, and I know how to work with you." Xing Guodong said with a smile.

Fu Mingwei shook hands with Xing Guodong and said goodbye, turned around and went downstairs to leave, and when he drove out of the hospital, he found that the iron door had been opened, and Tong Yunhui was sitting in the duty room with a teacup, looking at him with a smile.

Fu Mingwei thanked him again, nodded and left, and when he left the hospital gate, he had a feeling of returning to the real world from another world. Then, Fu Mingwei's attention returned to the case again, he parked the car on the side of the road, looking at the photo reproduced on his mobile phone, the background of the photo is a studio, there is no doubt that it is the studio before the renovation, Xia Jiezhu's studio before his death, and from left to right in the photo are Xia Jiezhu, Pan Feng, Ji Dewu.

Fu Mingwei leaned back in the chair, sighed, and said to himself: "What is the relationship between the three of you?" ”
