Chapter 116: The Chief Daoist
The morgue is not far from the medical hall, which is also reasonable, and if the medical treatment is not good, it will be sent here directly. Both are under the name of the branch of the Huashengtang, and are under the dual leadership of the branch of the Huashengtang and the "Heavenly Paradise".
According to the rules, even if the eighth day is Qingluanwei's deputy Qianhu, without permission, he can't go to the morgue of the Daomen for an autopsy, just as the people in the Daomen can't go to Qingluanwei's edict to interrogate prisoners without permission.
However, the rules are rules, no matter how big the rules are, they are also set by people, and in the end they have to be implemented by people, money can pass ghosts and gods, especially in this world where the poor do not laugh at prostitutes, Taiping money is the real sword, invincible.
On the eighth day, he easily bought off the guards of the morgue and brought Qi Xuansu to the morgue.
The guards here are not high-grade Taoist priests, they are all outsourced and recruited by the "Tianle Taoyuan" themselves. After all, letting the formal Daomen disciples go to do this kind of business openly and honestly, the face of the Daomen is gloomy. As for whether there are Taoist disciples who are secretly doing this kind of business, such as introducing their bosses, offering beautiful women, etc., then it can only be said that human nature is like this, and it is difficult to completely eliminate it.
As for outsourcing, it is also called outsourcing, it is not unusual, even the "inn" has supernumerary personnel, Qingluanwei's assassination business was even outsourced to the "inn", Daomen has such a big foundation, it is impossible to do everything yourself, and it is natural to hand over some of the dirty work to others. The people who rely on the Daomen for food are not necessarily fewer than the people who are the Daomen. The Daomen eat meat, and they drink soup.
Members of the Secret Society often refer to the people of the Daomen as "Daomen dogs", and these people who follow the Daomen to drink soup are contemptuously referred to as "Ergouzi".
Coming to the corpse, Qi Xuansu took a pair of gloves handed over by the eighth day and began to examine the corpse.
Liu Hu was not very afraid of corpses, but he was very surprised by Qi Xuansu's "erudition".
Do Jianghu people need to understand so much?
In fact, it is not that the people of the rivers and lakes must learn these, but the environment forces them to be proficient in everything, just take the treatment of wounds and proficient in pharmacology, it is inevitable to walk the rivers and lakes alone, and fight with people, if you don't understand these, once you are injured, you are in the wilderness and no man's land, most of them are waiting for death. Those who don't understand are dead, and those who can survive naturally understand.
The autopsy is also the same reason, it is said that the people in the rivers and lakes are happy to be enmity, and they don't say whether they are happy, only say that they are enmity, if they want to seek revenge, they must first know who the enemy is, and the most direct way is to judge the origin of the murderer through the cause of death of the corpse. This requires a certain amount of experience and experience, and if you kill a lot, what kind of weapons and moves will cause what kind of wounds, and what kind of death will be caused by different spells or poisons, you can roughly count it, which is similar to "becoming a good doctor after a long illness".
This is also one of the reasons why Tiangangtang prefers "wild Taoists".
In terms of details, Qi Xuansu is definitely not comparable to professional work, it can only be said that it is barely enough, but in some knowledge, it is stronger than many work.
For example, knife wounds, you can tell the angle and force of the knife, and even what knife can be inferred, but it is difficult to tell what the specific knife technique is, and then explore the identity of the person who uses the knife through the knife technique, which is already the responsibility of Qingluanwei. After all, most of them don't specialize in martial arts, and even if they do, they won't walk the rivers and lakes. But as long as Qi Xuansu and these people have seen this kind of knife technique, they can probably identify it
It's the experience of the rivers and lakes.
Of course, logically speaking, Qi Xuansu does know a lot at this age. The key is that Qi Xuansu has Qi Niang as the leader, saving a lot of detours, plus Qi Xuansu's understanding is already good, but the roots are not good, just learning these theoretical things, very fast.
After having enough theoretical knowledge, you can walk the rivers and lakes alone, and compare the two, and you will naturally understand. In other words, it is far better to learn systematically than to explore slowly.
On the eighth day, Yang said: "The fatal cause of death of the deceased was that the heart was gouged out with his bare hands, and the method was very cruel. In addition, the deceased had fractures of varying degrees on both arms, and multiple muscles throughout his body also suffered lacerations and strains of varying degrees. ”
Qi Xuansu nodded, he could probably imagine how this guard died, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he had no power to fight back, indicating that the murderer was at least more than one realm higher than the deceased, and it was less likely that he was a monk, a witch, a monk, or a scribe, but it was more likely that he was a martial artist or a monk.
Qi Xuansu asked, "What realm is the cultivation of the deceased?" ”
"This kind of Fengyue place is the most likely for people to make trouble, so most of the guards are Kunlun stage cultivators, which can be said to be quite good." On the eighth day, Yang replied.
Qi Xuansu muttered: "Kunlun stage, then the murderer is at least the cultivation of the Jade Void stage, or even the true stage, which is a bit tricky. ”
On the eighth day, Yang said: "There are still several corpses of the victims who are also here, do you want to see them?" ”
Qi Xuansu couldn't help asking, "Why do Qingluanwei and Zixian Mountain each hold a part of the victim's corpse?" ”
"There's no way, those who die in Shimen County are under our control, and those who die in 'Tianle Taoyuan' are not under our control." On the eighth day, Yang smiled bitterly.
Qi Xuansu shook his head and said: "It has all developed to the point of committing murder in the 'Tianle Taoyuan', but the Taoist priest in charge here still refuses to report to Tiangang Hall, which is really strange." ”
On the eighth day, Yang led Qi Xuansu to another corpse.
Qi Xuansu continued to step forward for an autopsy.
On the eighth day, Yang recounted the results of the autopsy: "The heart was dug out, and a Lei Gong pot was placed in the original heart. ”
"Lei Gong pot?" Qi Xuansu was surprised and said, "If I remember correctly, this kind of thing is not cold-tolerant, and it is only available in Lingnan, Bosa Continent, and Borneo. ”
On the eighth day, Yang explained: "That's right, but the sac of the Lei Gong pot can be used in medicine, and it can be seen in many pharmacies." ”
Qi Xuansu pondered, "In this way, it seems that this is some kind of ritual killing, which is usually a method used when secretly forming a blood sacrifice to Gu Immortals. But whether it is the Knowing Destiny Sect, or the Lingshan Witch Sect, or other secret associations, there is no habit of using the Lei Gong Pot. It seems that the key is on the Lei Gong pot, is there any special meaning? ”
Speaking of this, Qi Xuansu twitched his nose slightly, and smelled a vague fragrance, mixed with a faint smell.
On the eighth day, Yang obviously smelled it, and said: "It's the smell of the Lei Gong pot, which has a light fragrance during the day and a foul smell at night." I don't know why, it stays for so long. ”
"I see." Qi Xuansu also saw that on the eighth day, after all, he was a professional, and he checked it very carefully, and this time he asked for help from himself, which was somewhat of a rush to the doctor.
While the two were talking, a guard hurriedly walked in, with a worried face, and said in a low voice, "Oh no, the two chief Taoist priests have arrived." ”
"Tianle Taoyuan" has two Taoist priests, both of whom are Taoist priests of the Four Grades of Sacrifice, one is in charge of "Tianle Taoyuan", and the other is in charge of the branch hall of Huashengtang, as for why Zixian Mountain will set up a branch of Huashengtang, the reason is not complicated, Huashengtang is not only to cure diseases and save people, but also to have a variety of other medicines, such as being used between beds and sheets, so that men can regain their vigor and so on, which is quite profitable.
Another point is that there are still some differences between the chief Taoist priest here and the chief Taoist priest of Yujing.
After many of the leaders of the Vientiane Taoist Palace went to Yujing, they entered the Nine Hall, and the grade of the Taoist priest improved very quickly, and the six-grade Taoist priest and the fifth-grade Taoist abounded, but they were not very valuable, only after becoming a high-grade Taoist priest, they could be regarded as having real power, but considering that there were too many big people in Yujing, the real real power was also quite limited.
But the local four-grade sacrificial wine priests are different, such as the chief Taoist priest of "Tianle Taoyuan" and the chief Taoist priest of each branch hall, who holds great power, just like the emperor of the soil. It's just that this kind of location is quite limited, and it may be dozens of people to pick one, or even one in a hundred.
is also a four-grade sacrificial wine Taoist, and the chief Taoist priest of the Requiem Division may only have dozens of people, but the chief Taoist priest of "Tianle Taoyuan" is in charge of the livelihood and lifeline of thousands of people, and the two are of the same grade, and their power status is completely incompatible.
As for the deputy hall master level, the three-grade Youyi Taoist is the standard, and Zhang Yuelu is just an example, just wait for the suspension period to arrive, and he will be promoted to the third-grade Youyi Taoist immediately.
However, it cannot be said that the grade is completely useless, and Yujing, who has a high starting point, also has advantages, that is, if there is a way to transfer to a local position to take up a substantive position, because the grade is high, he will immediately be able to hold real power.
For example, Sun Yongfeng, the chief Taoist, transferred him from Tiangang Hall to "Tianle Taoyuan" as the chief Taoist, which is completely in line with the rules, and no one can find fault with it, and the real power is far better than him being the chief Taoist priest in Tiangang Hall.
It's just that the local Taoist priests also want to go further and will also keep an eye on these positions, so the local area generally does not welcome high-grade Taoist priests who are airborne from Yujing.
Under normal circumstances, except for some promising young Junyan who need to put down a little bit of training, the Taoist priests of Yujing Jiutang will not be transferred to a place casually.
All in all, the Taoist priest in charge of "Tianle Taoyuan" is not very high-grade, but if he can sit firmly in this position, the energy will never be small, not only has a backer, but also a backer.
On the eighth day, how could he not understand the truth of this, and couldn't help but show a headache.
A moment later, two Taoist priests walked in, a man and a woman, both of whom looked about forty years old.
On the eighth day, Yang said softly: "The man's name is Liu Futong, and he is the main person in charge of 'Tianle Taoyuan', and he is used to being powerful and blessed here, and he has a short temper. The woman's name is Su Ran, the chief Taoist priest of the branch of the local life hall, and I don't know much about it not long after I was transferred. ”
The guards who had been paid off by the eighth day followed the two of them, sweating profusely and said, "Chief, I, I don't know how they got in. At the same time, he glanced at the eighth day very vaguely.
Liu Futong ignored this stubble and snorted coldly: "Eighth Deputy Qianhu, I have already warned you that you are not allowed to come here to investigate the case again without my permission." ”
Then, Liu Futong's gaze shifted to Qi Xuansu's body, and his tone became more and more stern: "Who are you?" ”
Qi Xuansu took off his gloves and took out the token that Pei Xiaolou gave him: "This is the token issued by Pei Zhenren personally, who do you say I am?" ”
