Chapter 153: The Old House
Li Huaiyun entered the house, the hot air on his face made him feel as if he was living in summer, the furniture in the house was neatly arranged, but it was full of dust, and it didn't look like it had been inhabited at all.
He stood at the table, and at a glance he saw a strange figure sitting on the bed in the dimly lit inner room.
The wooden kite also sensed the situation, and directly turned his head and shouted, "Who! ”
The figure only breathed slightly, but did not respond.
The atmosphere at the scene was extremely cold, and the gloomy feeling made people's scalp tingle.
Li Huaiyun shouted a few more times, but the people in the inner room still did not respond.
He picked up the oil lamp on the table, opened the beaded curtains, and walked towards the inner room.
The wooden kite didn't have time to stop it, wondering why this guy was so bold, and walked in defenselessly.
The candle flame illuminated half of Xing Shangshu's body, and he was sitting on the edge of the bed, hunched back and his hair scattered.
The eyes were lifeless, the eye sockets were deep, and he looked sluggish.
Hearing the movement of someone coming in, he raised his head slightly, with thick dark circles around his eyes, half-naked, and his ribs on his chest protruded.
Xing Shangshu raised his slender arm, covered his mouth, coughed lightly, and then looked at Li Huaiyun with a blank gaze.
"Who are you? Why are you here? ”
"In Xia Li Huaiyun, the Great Zhou Demon Killer is responsible for investigating the case that happened in the palace today."
He clasped his hands, "I hope that Master Xing will cooperate with his subordinates' investigation." ”
"The case? There have been so many cases in the palace, which one do you refer to? ”
"Body parts found in a drain in the sewers."
"The case!"
Li Huaiyun looked around the room, and the furniture and furnishings in this room were quite quaint and old, with cobwebs in many corners and a fishy smell of dead fish.
The whole room is like a steamer, quite stuffy!
The ground beneath his feet was also damp with a little moss on it, similar to the rock wall of the sewer.
The wooden kite is quite strange, what are those maidservants shouting before? Everything looks like it's working in here!
She also walked in, "Tricked? It's not quite normal here. ”
Li Huaiyun said in a low voice, "Not necessarily! ”
Yan Zheng also quietly walked up at this moment, "Did they enter here because they saw something outside?" ”
"No, the servant girl said, and saw someone hanged! I guess it's the monster in that lake. ”
Li Huaiyun waved his hand, signaling them to stop talking, he looked at Xing Shangshu who was sitting on the bed, "Master Xing!" How are you doing these days? ”
"I'm old! The body is not very good! ”
"Looking at the state of Lord Xing, it seems that there is a loss of qi and blood, and something is absorbing your essence!"
Xing Shangshu laughed, the bones on his body moved slightly, his shriveled body looked quite mad, "I didn't think you would see a doctor?" ”
"The aunt under me is a doctor, and I know a little bit about it! However, in the case of the criminal adult, it is also very easy to judge, I don't know if the criminal adult, if you are willing to let me help you take the pulse! ”
"Although I am not good at medical skills, it is more than enough to treat adults."
"Plus I know a little about prescriptions, I can prescribe a few pairs of medicines to adults!"
"In my current feeling, the adult is not in a good state at this time, but your illness is not an incurable disease, it is just a simple psychological problem!"
Xing Shangshu twisted his slender neck, and glanced at Li Huaiyun who was standing in front of him, "I don't know what you mean!" I'm physically weak like this, is it also a psychological problem? ”
"Since you don't believe it, let me take the pulse for you!" Li Huaiyun stepped forward, but was stopped by Yan Zheng and Mu Kite at the same time, both of whom said that it was too dangerous to do that, and it would be life-threatening to approach such a strange person.
But Li Huaiyun insisted, he had an indifferent attitude, "Don't worry, I'm just taking the pulse for Master Xing, I believe he won't have any problems." ”
He walked up and sat down at the head of the bed, and as he got closer, the smell of dead fish became even stronger.
Xing Shangshu turned his head slightly, glanced at the young man beside him, and put his arms to the other side, as if he didn't want him to take his pulse, "I'm not sick!" No need to take a pulse! ”
"Hey! The criminal lord will see you outside, and I will not accept the medical fee. ”
"I said no!" Xing Shangshu wanted to say in a tough tone, but his physical condition obviously couldn't support this situation.
"You're welcome!" Li Huaiyun directly reached out and grabbed Xing Shangshu's wrist, and then pulled his arm out, the moment he touched Xing Shangshu's body, he knew that this body had a somewhat abnormal body temperature.
He closed his eyes, like a doctor, the skin and bones were quite tough to the touch, but the skin was really inelastic.
And it seems to be wrapped in a layer of grease, quite smooth, there is something peculiar about this guy's body.
Judging from his face and naked body, this Xing Shangshu's life span should come to an end.
"Why are you staring at my people, aren't you taking the pulse?"
"Because I found that the body of Master Xing is almost exhausted, have you ever thought about what to do?"
"You young man is really interesting," Xing Shangshu said in a hoarse voice, "I just said that my body is fine!" ”
"Because that's just a conclusion based on appearances! l
"Since it's all like this, the old man can only wait for death, what else can he do?"
"Huh!" Li Huaiyun continued to pretend to be a doctor, and played the posture of taking the pulse very well, "It's strange! How do I feel that the pulse of Master Xing is a little strange! ”
"People who are about to die have a strange pulse, which is normal!"
In the eyes of others, the two of them are like playing at home.
The wooden kite and Yan Zheng who looked at it this time were a little puzzled.
The wooden kite was full of confusion, what the hell is this guy doing? Still going to see a doctor?
Yan Zheng pondered for a moment, and guessed in his heart what Li Huaiyun's behavior was? Finally he figured something out in his mind.
With a look of sudden realization, he clapped his hands gently, "It turns out that he also guessed!." ”
When the wooden kite heard this, he immediately stepped forward and asked, "Guess what?" What the hell is this guy doing now? ”
Yan Zheng leaned over and whispered, "Princess, take a closer look at the face of the torturer on the bed!" Is it vague and unrecognizable? ”
"Yes! So what? It's so dark in here! ”
"More than ten days ago, this criminal department Shangshu was still in good spirits and in excellent mental state, why did he become like this in just a few days, there must be a big problem in this."
"According to what Li Gongzi meant just now, this criminal department Shangshu may not be himself."
"Ahh Pretending to be an official of the imperial court, and it is a first-class product, I'm afraid it's not so easy. The kite didn't quite understand what that meant.
"It's not easy, but as long as you are familiar, have more contact, and imitate more, you will definitely be able to achieve eight points of truth, so that as long as you pretend to be decadent a little, on the grounds of physical illness, you can get through the test."
"And who the hell is this guy?" Mu Kite asked softly, "Is it the person next to Xing Shangshu?" ”
"I don't know, anyway, be careful, that guy may use surprise to us."
"That's not dangerous!"
When the wooden kite heard this, she immediately stared at the side of the bed with bated breath, worried about it in her heart, she just wanted to give a warning, but Li Huaiyun raised his hand to stop her, signaling that she would be fine.
"This doctor, since I have run out of oil, what can I do to continue my life!"
Li Huaiyun laughed indifferently, "You don't want to die?" ”
"Whoever you are, you don't want to die, it's just that this is the normal state of life! The laws of nature cannot be changed! ”
Li Huaiyun clapped his hands lightly, "It's really a wise saying, and it is worthy of being a person who has achieved the position of secretary of the Criminal Department!" ”
"I'm just outliving you, maybe in the future, you will have such a life insight."
"It's impossible, there's no one who knows life and death better than you!"
"This doctor, you have won the prize!" ,
Li Huaiyun laughed, he still couldn't guess what the purpose of this guy was when he stayed here.
Could it be that he can't get out of this house?
Seeing that Li Huaiyun was silent, Shangshu of the Criminal Department knew that he was thinking carefully, and said in a hoarse voice, "The doctor understands the prescription, so it is better to prescribe a prescription for me and see if I can prolong my life for a few more years." ”
Li Huaiyun smiled indifferently, "How many years? Lord Xing is the king of Yama in my local government, in charge of life and death? ”
He put Xing Shangshu's arm down, "Actually, your illness is very easy to treat, you don't need any medicine at all, you can just use your hands!" Need me to help you? ”
An oozing smile appeared on Xing Shangshu's face, "You don't need medicine, just use your hands, are your medical skills too superb!" ”
"That's nature!" Li Huaiyun turned his wrist with a wicked smile, "This set is called physical transcendence, which can completely reflect what you feel on your body, and then it can also prolong your life!" ”
He's going to use a special way to deal with this strange guy like this.
Xing Shangshu was quite curious about this, he had never heard of it before, and there was such a thing, "Please try!" ”
"Great!"
"Don't be afraid of pain!" Li Huaiyun said with a smile, he picked up Xing Shangshu's arm again, and then quickly started to seal his body breath through the acupoint.
This method is that he learned a little bit in the Qing Capsule Neijing before, saying that it is massage, but in fact, it is holding down the acupuncture points to lock the other party's yang energy, and at the final moment of death, the yang energy of the dying person will not be dissipated immediately and will last for a while.
But it's also for the kind of people who are still alive, and if it's someone who is dead, it doesn't work at all.
Li Huaiyun simply pressed on him, his emaciated body, and he could clearly feel the hardness of the bones on that guy's body.
Xing Shangshu was currently in a stable mood, but he didn't react to this.
"That's what you're talking about? Nothing seems to work. ”
"This means that you, Master Xing, should have a long way to live!"
"But didn't you say it, I've already run out of oil!"
"That's a term for ordinary mortals."
When Li Huaiyun used the techniques in the Inner Scripture of the Green Capsule to make a simple judgment, he also discovered another situation in the Shangshu of the Criminal Department.
Only that kind of demon with strong power and a demon who has practiced for many years has this ability, and this monster does not know when to sneak into the Shangshu Mansion.
He was quite worried about the situation in the palace at the moment, and the entire power of the guards was infiltrated into a sieve.
He turned his head sideways and looked at this Xing Shangshu, I have already said this, this monster actually didn't dare to show up, do you think we don't know, or do you think the time has not come?
Li Huaiyun knows very well that this monster is waiting, waiting for an opportunity!
"Master Xing, now I have a few questions I want to ask, I hope you can tell me truthfully, and I don't want to take you to the Demon Slayer Division!"
Xing Shangshu said in that hoarse voice, "Ask! I'll tell you the truth! ”
