Section 18 Inside Story
"After you found the body, you certainly didn't go down to the pit to take a closer look. So I made up an excuse to say that I found it this morning. ”
Pu Jinsong stepped on the rock by the pit with his left foot, bent his left arm on the top of his knee, leaned forward, and said majestically and indifferently: "An ordinary doorman in the outer hall dares to lie and make up in front of me. Regardless of whether this deceased has anything to do with you or not, how can you talk about your nature? What about cultivation? ”
Sun Yingqing completely collapsed.
"Why are you lying to me?" Pu Jinsong asked coldly, a trace of impatience already appeared in his voice.
Sun Yingqing recruited.
It was indeed he who found Li Tiangang's body.
The time was not this morning, but noon the day before yesterday.
The reason why he lied about time was because of a woman.
There are more men and fewer women in the outer hall of the Guiyuan Sect, and it has been like this for thousands of years.
It's not that the Guiyuan Sect deliberately favors sons over daughters when selecting disciples, but that many qualified women are favored and accepted by some special sects.
Rouyun Gate, Xuannu Sect, Shenshui Sect......
These sects, from the sect master to the ordinary disciples, are all women.
Monks who have reached a certain level, such as Jindan, can suppress or alleviate their physical desires through self-regulation.
Although there is a method of "double cultivation" in the process of cultivation, the double cultivation partner pays attention to the spiritual level of sympathy, not the skin blind date speculated by outsiders.
The outer hall of the Guiyuan Sect is all ordinary disciples who have not yet refined qi. Erotic love between men and women is normal for them. In particular, some men and women with particularly strong physiological needs can stay in the mountains for a long time with a partner by their side.
However, there are more men than women, and there is no civil affairs bureau on the mountain, so both men and women can become partners if they like each other. This intimacy is not protected by law and can be separated at any time if you wish.
As a result, the women on the mountain have become a sought-after commodity in the eyes of many male doormen.
There are no female boxers in this world, and marriage is a very cautious thing. For example, if a man and a woman decide to become a partner, they must report to the parishion. Of course, the deacons and administrators will not obstruct it, and whether to agree or not is just a process to show that the parish knows that there is such a thing.
However, there are many people who want to be favored by women and secretly pry into the corners.
"Derailment" is not an exclusive phenomenon of modern society, it has existed before, and this world also has it.
The reason why Sun Yingqing lied about the time when the body was found was because he was in a hurry to have a tryst with a good woman at noon the day before yesterday.
The woman had a male partner, and the two of them had been fine for nearly six years. Sun Yingqing intervened in it and secretly showed great courtesy to the woman. After a long time, even if he didn't look down on Sun Yingqing before and got too many benefits from him, the woman gradually looked at him and felt pleasing to the eye.
After going back and forth, the two hooked up.
It's not that Sun Yingqing is younger and more handsome than the woman's male partner. It's that after spending so much time in the mountains, there's no better option. Anyway, it's not that the media is marrying, and occasionally experience the freshness, and there will be no guilt in my heart, and there is an indescribable stimulation.
It's cool when you steal food, but this kind of thing can't see the light of day after all. Especially the woman's male partner, once he knows about it, Sun Yingqing will have to shed his skin even if he doesn't die.
So he could only avoid the time of the tryst between the two, saying that the body was found early this morning.
In fact, Sun Yingqing can also choose not to report it and pretend not to see it. But according to the rules of the sect, if you find a special situation such as a dead person, there is a reward for reporting it to the top. This is equivalent to the usual personal points, and when the accumulation reaches a certain level, and you can apply for various rewards from above when you become an "excellent disciple of the disciple".
Tianlan Mountain is so big, it can't be managed by the manpower of the torture hall alone. If the disciples of the sect all pretend to be deaf and dumb and blind when they encounter a situation, the atmosphere of the sect will only get worse and worse. Therefore, only by setting rules and using various rewards as incentives can the basic moral framework within the sect be maintained.
……
Because of lying about the time, Sun Yingqing not only did not get benefits, but was punished for it.
He wept and mourned, worked in an incomparably strong stench, took off his clothes, wrapped Li Tiangang's bones piece by piece, and sent them to the top of the pit.
The corpse was so rotten that it didn't look like it, and when you grabbed it with your hands, the carrion fell off in a large area. It is said that the corpse is collected, but in fact, only the bones of the deceased can be left.
Pu Jinsong is very good at investigating the case.
He had crouched beside the trap for a long time before, but now he looked at the bones of the deceased and quickly made a judgment.
Bamboo skewers are poisonous.
Li Tiangang fell into a trap and was poked in the throat by a bamboo stick.
Judging from the details such as the deceased's posture and the broken bamboo sticks in the pit, Li Tiangang should have fallen into the trap while running.
Dou Hongwen is also a member of the torture hall, and he accompanied Pu Jinsong to the cemetery to investigate the case. Seeing that the sun was already setting in the west, Dou Hongwen couldn't help it, approached Pu Jinsong's side, and lowered his voice to persuade: "Senior brother, since you have understood the cause of death, I think it's almost enough." It's hard to walk when it's dark, so let's hurry back to report to the hall master! ”
He speaks with a smile on his face and in a gentle tone. But in fact, Dou Hongwen was very disdainful of Pu Jinsong.
Dou Hongwen went up the mountain earlier than Pu Jinsong.
He became a Qi Refining Cultivator at the age of thirty-three.
However, Dou Hongwen is one hundred and two years old this year, and his cultivation is still stagnant at the fourth layer of qi refining, and it is difficult to improve.
If you are strong, your fellow disciples will come according to the rules and affectionately call you "senior brother".
But if it is standing still for decades, it used to be the fourth order of qi refining, and now it is still the fourth order of qi refining, then I'm sorry, the latecomer is on top, even if a young man in his twenties successfully builds a foundation, Dou Hongwen has to bow his head in front of reality, and honestly and cheekily turn upside down and call others "senior brother".
Pu Jinsong didn't look at him squarely, and said coldly: "If you have something, you can go back first, I haven't sorted it out yet." ”
Dou Hongwen hurriedly waved his hand with a smile: "I just said it casually, senior brother, don't take it to heart." ”
Pu Jinsong didn't pay attention to it. He pointed to Li Tiangang's bones on the ground, frowned, and said, "This person died very strangely. ”
has been in the same family for decades, and they have all worked together in the torture hall, Dou Hongwen is very familiar with Pu Jinsong. He deliberately looked surprised and asked, "I think this person should have accidentally fallen into the pit and died accidentally, why does Senior Brother think there is a problem in it?" ”
"It's a big problem."
Pu Jinsong was very useful for this kind of praise, and he didn't mind pointing out a thing or two: "There is mud on the soles of the deceased's shoes, and there are all kinds of tools scattered on the edge of the pit. All in all, this pit should have been dug by Li Tiangang. ”
After a pause, Pu Jinsong added, "Of course, it is also possible that he dug it with other people. ”
Dou Hongwen asked suspiciously: "What are you doing digging such a big pit?" Could it be that it is to hunt wild animals? ”
