Chapter 2: Refining Corpses
Zong Zhen's speed of drawing talismans was very slow, his spirit was extremely focused, and his wrinkled skin was already covered with beads of sweat, and with the operation of the mana in his body, the beads of sweat were quickly evaporated, forming bursts of white mist that steamed up and down, and the cycle began over and over again.
Glancing at Zong Zhen who didn't seem to pay attention to himself, Cheng Jing breathed a long sigh of relief, secretly lucky.
Cheng Jing is a poor disciple of Tongcheng in Daqing State, and his common surname is Li, although he is not a scholarly family, but he is also literate and hyphenated.
Later, in the ninth year of Wude, Daqing and the northern Yan country started a war, and the town that was located in the north of Daqing was also affected, and the family with no worries about food and clothing was also broken, and his parents and clansmen also fled all the way to the south with him.
It's just that in the troubled times, where can they let them control their own destiny, encounter various natural disasters along the way, and encounter bandits, unknowingly, Chengjing was also separated from his family and became a little beggar.
Fortunately, one day, I met a kind Taoist priest, took him as a disciple, brought him back to the Taoist temple, and gave him the Taoist name of sincerity.
I thought I had met an immortal in the troubled times, who knew that he knew the face and did not know the heart, this immortal actually looked dignified, but in fact he was a demon Tao, using all kinds of evil magic to harm the township, defraud money, and even more demagogic and harm people's lives.
The so-called Skynet was restored but not leaked, and the matter of the demon path was finally exposed, attracting the so-called righteous masters to besiege the Taoist temple at night.
This demon path is also decisive, knowing that he can't help so many masters with just his own little evil art, so he used a few disciples who sat down to drag the comer, and with sincerity and sincerity, the two disciples fled close to the mountain.
It's just that I didn't expect that there was also an ambush in the mountains, and Cheng Tao was stabbed in the body, and Zong Zhen Demon Dao also took the opportunity to use demon magic to kill the ambushed people.
Cheng Jing knew that the demon dao took him and Cheng Tao with him, but it was not how much the demon dao liked the two of them, nor how good the qualifications or martial arts of the two of them were, purely because they were both born beggars, and in the eyes of the demon dao, both of them were illiterate.
Because of this, both of them are people who serve the demon path closely.
Because he is illiterate, the demon Tao naturally does not have to worry about being stolen by Chengjing and Chengtao to learn his skills.
If the demon dao knows that he is literate, he sincerely believes that the demon dao is afraid that he will kill himself immediately.
Among the several brothers who were killed by the demon Dao, there were two who accidentally saw a page on the Demon Dao cheats when they served, and he thought that he was stealing his skills, in order to put an end to the almost small pitiful troubles, the two of them were ruthlessly killed by him.
On the first day of Cheng Jing's entry into the Taoist temple, he witnessed this incident, and therefore kept his literacy well hidden.
Seeing that Zong Zhen ignored himself, Chengjing, who had served the other party for several years, could only sit quietly, looking at his nose and nose, and not thinking about the cheats in the baggage, for fear that the demon Dao would see the flaws.
Time passed slowly in a dreary environment, and the disemboweled corpse began to emit a strong corpse odor, but fortunately, the heavy rain outside had stopped, and the mountain wind blew into the cave, so that Chengjing did not vomit out.
Finally, Zong Zhen breathed a long sigh of relief, he looked up at the well-behaved Chengjing, nodded with satisfaction, and then put his eyes on the five organs next to the corpse.
"Bring the dagger!" Zong Zhen's majestic voice came.
Although Chengjing's legs were numb, he didn't dare to delay, and crawled over with his hands and feet, handing over the dagger.
Zong Zhen took the dagger and dug it directly on the hard stone wall, relying on the sharpness of the dagger, and dug out a stone mortar and a stone hammer in a few moments.
"Throw the five organs in!"
Chengjing didn't dare to delay, endured the nausea, and directly took Chengtao's five organs and put them into the stone mortar.
"Wait, every time I hammer it, you put in a handful of dirt, don't make a mistake!"
Cheng Jing was stunned for a moment, looked up at Zong Zhen, happened to meet his cold eyes, and hurriedly shouted: "Yes, Master, Cheng Jing knows!" ”
Zong Zhen nodded, and did not open his mouth to threaten, because he knew that Cheng Jing knew what kind of punishment he would receive if he made a mistake.
I saw Zong Zhen take out five sticks of fine incense from his arms, and he didn't use a candle, his finger gently pinched the incense, and the fine incense was directly ignited, and then Zong Zhen inserted the fine incense in front of the stone mortar.
Cheng Jing saw that in an instant, two of the five fine incense sticks burned rapidly, but half of them were already burned in the middle of the breath, and then they returned to normal.
Cheng Jing's eyelids jumped, and he felt extremely uncomfortable when he looked at the five fine incense sticks that were three long and two short.
But at this time, Zong Zhen had already raised the stone hammer, and was muttering an inaudible incantation in his mouth, and then the hammer fell, directly smashing on the five internal organs.
Immediately, fishy blood flew out of the stone mortar and sprayed on Zong Zhen and Chengjing.
Although Chengjing was already scared half to death, he didn't dare to slack off in his hands, and immediately grabbed a handful of soil and threw it into the stone mortar.
This was repeated repeatedly, but in a moment, the splash of dirty blood had already stained the master and apprentice into bloody people, and in the dim cave, they were like two evil ghosts from hell, hideous and terrifying.
Cheng Jing only felt that life was like a year, and it was strange to say that in the stone mortar, the dirty blood and flesh were splashed, but there was no splash on the five fine incense sticks, until all the fine incense burned to ashes, Zong Zhen also stopped chanting the incantation and put down the stone mortar.
Looking at the black mass in the stone mortar, Zong Zhen's blood-stained face revealed a row of bloodshot white teeth.
In Cheng Jing's stunned eyes, Zong Zhen directly reached into the stone mortar, like a noodle, kneaded the mud balls mixed with the five visceral meat sauce and the soil, divided them into six balls, and then kneaded the six mud balls into a small person, and five hollow models of the five viscera.
In the middle of this, Zong Zhen still kept chanting in his mouth, and he listened to it sincerely and in a cold sweat.
Although he has been serving Zong Zhen for many years, it is the first time he has encountered such a terrible scene, this demon has harmed a lot of people in the past, but he has ever done such a terrifying thing.
Zong Zhen naturally ignored Cheng Jing, took the yellow charm from the side, and pasted it on the dummy and the fake five organs, and then took a bunch of wooden boxes from the package, and poured out centipedes, toads, geckos, scorpions, and snakes from them.
It is the five poisons.
Zong Zhen smiled, put the five poisons into the fake five organs, and covered them with yellow talismans.
Then he took the fake five organs and came to the corpse with Cheng Tao's belly open, and put the fake five organs back into his body.
At this time, Zong Zhen said lightly: "Get over here and sew your senior brother's belly." ”
Although Zong Zhen's face was expressionless, he was very familiar with Zong Zhen's temperament, and he still heard that Zong Zhen's mood was actually very good.
So while crawling towards Chengtao's corpse, he boldly asked, "Master, what are you doing here?" ”
Zong Zhen was surprised to glance at Cheng Jing who dared to ask a question, but he didn't know what he thought, he really didn't get angry, and said with a smile: "My Xuanyin-Daoist is not at the mercy of others, how can I suffer such a catastrophe in vain, naturally I am refining the corpse and taking revenge." Poor Dao simply couldn't look at the obstructive Zhang Tingfu for a long time, but he didn't expect that this little magistrate would be so decisive, and he still wanted to make a fortune with him. ”
Zong Zhen's tone became colder and colder, and it was even colder than the cold wind in the mountains.
