Chapter 6: Immortals
"Can you tell me what you know?" He Shan walked up to the fool in the robe and asked softly.
The fool was unmoved, staring blankly at the ceiling, his other hand tickling everywhere on his body, seemingly completely oblivious to what He Shan was saying.
"There's something wrong with those corpses? Do you want to destroy them? He Shan continued to ask.
The fool sat up suddenly, his face became a little flustered, his eyes were full of fear, his dirty hands grabbed He Shan's shoulders, and shouted indiscriminately: "You've seen them, you've seen them." ”
"Yes, I've seen them." He Shan did not shake him off, but patiently answered the question.
"It's my fault, my fault." The fool looked pained and said in an almost murmuring voice: "Immortality, immortality......"
"Immortality?" When He Shan heard this word, he immediately thought of a lot in his heart, you must know that there are so many stories about the various problems of immortality on the earth, and you can think of dozens of them whenever you think about it.
"Immortality!" The fool himself muttered nothing, as soon as he heard He Shan say it, he immediately became excited, his face was full of energy, as if he was no longer the image of a fool at all, he said in a very excited tone: "That's right, if you want to live forever, you have to die, I saw it, the Tao is the way, the very way, they have become the Tao, they have become the Tao!" ”
"What is immortality, what is the Tao, why do you have to die if you want to live forever?" He Shan saw that he had completely returned to normal, and asked repeatedly.
"Longevity and long-term vision, longevity with heaven and earth, practice qi clothing" The expression on the fool's face became distorted halfway through speaking, and then said: "Resurrection from the dead, eating 100 catties of human flesh a day, the flesh is not rotten, and the mind is not lost, it can be described as longevity!" ”
"The Tao is the Tao, the Heavenly Dao, the Great Dao, the Dao, the Tao."
"How can you live forever if you don't die!"
A proud look appeared on the fool's face, and he looked like a professional, and he actually had a bit of fairy spirit.
"But, yes, but is that still human?" The head catcher outside the cell couldn't help but ask, after resurrection, he ate 100 catties of human flesh, is that still a human being?
"Is it human? Is it human? The fool laughed happily, but two lines of muddy tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.
Later, no matter how exciting He Shan and the head catcher were, he no longer confided half a word, and became the fool again.
"Hey, it's all my fault!" The head catcher blamed himself a little, if he didn't owe, maybe he could ask something from the mouth of this fool.
He Shan shook his head, walked out of the cell and said, "It's okay, please take me to meet the murder weapon." ”
"Hey" The head catcher sighed again, and then said: "Master, please come with me, the murder weapon is placed in the evidence room in front." ”
Evidence room.
He Shan's eyes swept over the various murder weapons displayed on the shelves, kitchen knives, machetes, hoes, hairpins, and flat poles......
"The murder weapon is this token." The catcher stretched out his hand and pointed to the middle, and a swarthy token came into view.
He Shan was a little surprised, this thing could be a murder weapon? However, if you carefully recall the wounds on the necks of your four junior brothers, it is very similar to someone holding the bottom of the token Quartet and digging it with the pointed head on the top of the token, so the wound is uneven, and the neck is not cut directly.
"Token...... Could there be any special implications? He Shan thought to himself, and then asked, "Did the head catcher try to show this token to that fool?" ”
The head catcher nodded, showed a helpless smile, and said, "If it works, the case won't be stuck here, that fool...... That murderer didn't eat and didn't say anything, he was no different from a real fool, if it wasn't for you who followed the master today, I didn't know that he could speak. ”
The yamen of this world is slightly different from the ancient administrative center of the earth, and after careful calculation, the yamen should be translated as a police station or a public security bureau, but He Shan felt that it was a little too violated, so he did not use it.
There is no county lord living in the yamen, just a pure office location, in addition to the soap officials who are responsible for miscellaneous work and guarding, the rest is to catch fast, responsible for solving the murder case and arresting the murderer, they are not responsible to the county lord, nor are they responsible to the Yu Dynasty, but more of a public welfare organization established after the county lord sent by the imperial court and the local customs.
Mainly by the local martial arts hall or sects, gangs to serve as the head catcher and catch fast, the rest of the miscellaneous soap officials are recruited in the local good family, such as the current Yamen in the door, drag the family with the mouth, live next to the yamen, it is considered a public housing, the food and drink of the fast catchers are also provided by the families of the soap officials.
The main source of the yamen's economy was the imperial court, and the small source was the donations of the wealthy families in the city.
Now this head catcher is the head of the Tiger Martial Arts Pavilion, and his martial arts are enough to crack the stone, why is it called the Tiger Martial Arts Pavilion, it is because this head has torn the tiger by hand.
Because the court is not bad for money, and the yamen is also a fat poor, the folk customs of this world are quite strong, after all, the court will not be in charge of affairs, which also means that it is relatively free, most of them are a little bloody, and they have to lose the simplicity of the people's customs, otherwise I don't know how many disagreeable blood splashes on the spot.
The yamen is also in charge of this kind of thing.
If you think about it carefully, the so-called county master in this world is actually more like a referee, a witness, or a public relations?
According to He Shan's observation, the county lord basically doesn't take care of things, and usually wanders between the major wealthy families and martial arts halls, and after any major events, he has to have a little brain, and ordinary people really can't play it, so there is nothing to say that being an official can make a fortune and grasp power.
In other words, this world is not official, and everyone does not pay much attention to this.
It's more about the strong who are respected, such as the old monk, who can settle everything if he is strong.
He Shan is the same, don't look at these fast catchers, catch the head one by one, the master screams, in fact, what really makes them so honest is that He Shan himself looks strong, muscular, and there is a teacher who is rumored to be a master, so when you think about it, you must be respected.
The people of Yingxian County have watched He Shan grow from childhood to adulthood for many years, and they have enough trust, so they can let him enter the cell if he wants to, and if he wants to see the murder weapon, he can see the murder weapon.
"What is this?" He Shan looked at the dark token for a while, and unexpectedly saw a pattern in the messy lines on it.
I'm afraid only his eyesight can see this strange pattern.
"What did you find?" The head catcher came over a little unexpectedly, he didn't expect He Shan to really find anything, following He Shan's guidance, he vaguely saw some messy lines, but there was no way to build them in his head.
He Shan stretched out his hand to carve this pattern on the table, stared at him, and said in a deep voice:
"Immortals!"
