Volume 2 Sacrifice Chapter 86 The Chosen Son
The sudden appearance of the sacrificial ritual ring made Ember a little puzzled, but the copper lock key hidden in the master's room reminded Ember of Flame.
The master hid this key in his bedroom, and there must be a purpose behind the mirror water building.
As long as you find the usefulness of this key, you will naturally be able to solve the confusion in Ember Fire's heart.
"Master Lu, apart from living in his own room, does the master usually have any favorite or frequent places?"
Yu Huo suddenly asked, but it reminded Lu Chengfeng that before Jingshuilou disappeared, in addition to studying the secret art of acupuncture, he didn't have many hobbies, let alone any other bad hobbies, except for going to a place.
This place is not far from the altar headquarters, just two kilometers away from a reservoir, and Jingshui likes to come here for fishing.
Lu Chengfeng's information made Yu Huo think of something.
Since Master Jingshuilou hides this key as a treasure, it naturally has his importance, so will it have something to do with this reservoir?
However, this is just a guess of the embers, before verifying their guesses, it is not appropriate to startle the snake, let alone let Lu Chengfeng and the Twelve Protectors know the existence of this copper lock, after all, this key, Master Jingshuilou has never said it publicly.
"What's the matter, Ah Huo, did you find something? Is there a clue that your master is missing? ”
Lu Chengfeng was a little nervous, after all, he had some emotion, or more complaints, for this senior brother who came and went without a trace.
Seeing that Lu Chengfeng was aware, Yu Huo quickly changed the topic and said, "No, I just asked casually, by the way, hurry up and prepare for the handover ceremony of the door master." ”
Yu Huo didn't say it, Lu Chengfeng was a little disappointed, but he couldn't force it, after all, Yu Huo was now the master of the corpse line, in front of the door master, no matter who it was, there was no reason to commit it, even if Lu Chengfeng was the elder of the ember fire, this was the rule, the rule of the corpse line.
When they came to the altar, the twelve protectors each held a torch burning with a raging fire, bounded by the twelve zodiac signs, like guardians, forming a circle, implying that the corpses were united as one, in the same boat, supporting each other, and participating in the grand event.
In the center of the altar, a bronze tripod stands majestically in it, a pillar of optimus incense in the tripod is burning vigorously, there are nine incense burners around the big tripod, one of them is the main incense burner, there are three incense sticks inserted on it, and the other eight incense burners are inserted with an incense stick respectively, the same is the incense extended, a prosperous scene of incense continuously.
It has been a long time since there has been such a lively grand occasion in the sewing corpse vein, which made the twelve protectors on the side sad and joyful, and even more moved Lu Chengfeng to tears.
This long-lost intimacy, accompanied by the return of the embers, made their old people find the era of boiling blood and regain their youth.
The appearance of embers, with successors, allowed them to find comfort in their hearts, and also let them see a glimmer of hope for the revival of the sewing corpse.
Lu Chengfeng held a tea tray in both hands, covered with a red cloth, covering the things under the red cloth with a layer of mystery, making everyone hope for the moment when the red cloth was uncovered.
I saw Lu Chengfeng come to the center of the altar, put the tea tray on the desk, came to the main incense burner, lit three incense sticks, and after inserting them, there were words in his mouth.
After offering incense, Lu Chengfeng sorted out the tributes on the desk, and bowed respectfully three times, then picked up the tea tray and turned around to come to the front of the embers.
Yu Huo knelt on one knee, bowed his head, raised his hands, took the tea tray, Lu Chengfeng's index finger and middle finger lit a few drops of wine in the wine bowl, and after dripping on Yu Huo's forehead, he turned to everyone and said, "The handover ceremony of the door master begins......"
I saw Yu Huo get up, holding the tea tray in one hand, and uncovering the red cloth covering the tea tray with the other hand, only to see a thing suddenly appear on the tea tray, this thing is not a rare thing, but an ordinary embroidery needle that can no longer be ordinary.
But there is a peculiarity of this embroidery needle, that is, this needle does not have real eyes, but both ends are needle tips, which makes everyone puzzled and makes Yu Huo look confused.
Seeing that everyone was stunned, Lu Chengfeng personally picked up the two-ended needle-tipped embroidery needle, and said seriously: "I think everyone knows that sewing corpses has been fishing for yin since ancient times. The door makes money from the dead, relying on such a small embroidery needle, but the reason why the sewing of the corpse can continue to this day, is not by this needle, but by our sewing of the corpse, the sewing of the corpse people revered the dead, for the deceased to pay a lifetime of effort, but also paid a painful price for it, the ancestor for the sewing of the corpse of a pulse of cigarettes, deliberately set the rules, that is, with a double-headed needle as the number, to order all the disciples of the world to sew the corpse, for the teacher. ”
Lu Chengfeng told the origin of the double-headed needle, but he did not say the taboo of the double-headed show, the double-headed needle is a two-ended needle without a lead, which means a golden basin to wash hands.
Sewing corpses, dealing with dead people for a long time, accumulating too much yin over time, the ancestor master inevitably harmed the yang life of the disciples, so he deliberately set the rules of this double-ended embroidery needle.
Although it is an unwritten rule, there is a consensus in the door, but if the previous generation passes the double-ended embroidery needle to the next generation, then it means that the person who takes the baton can no longer do this thing of threading the needle.
The reason why Lu Chengfeng wanted to send this double-ended embroidery needle at the handover ceremony was to let the embers get rid of the situation of being with the dead and always with the dead.
Lu Chengfeng originally meant well, but Yu Huo did not accept his kindness, after all, the sewing corpse was lonely here, and it had a great relationship with these broken rules set by the ancestors.
If you want to make the sewing corpse take off the hat of the left side of the door and become a person in the feng shui world, the first thing to change is that there are too many dogmas in the old set in the door.
Yu Huo threw the double-ended embroidery needle into the bronze tripod, and said loudly: "Fellow elders, senior brothers and brothers, what is needed for sewing corpses is an innovator, or an innovator, and we don't want to be like rats crossing the street every day, accustomed to the existence of evil demons. ”
Yu Huo's encouraging words immediately caused everyone to chant and echo, which caught Lu Chengfeng and the Twelve Dharma Protectors off guard.
However, Yu Huo's actions gave Lu Chengfeng enough face to go down the stairs, and also allowed Yu Huo to take this opportunity to obtain a lot of vassal opportunities.
Obviously, Ember saw the terminally ill corpse, and urgently needed to inject fresh blood, and even more needed a leader who could carry this banner.
And Ember is the chosen son.
The hardness of the ember made everyone present feel the aura and deterrence from the heart, but it did not cause dissatisfaction on the scene, including Lu Chengfeng, because it was the tough attitude of the ember that made the sewing corpse vein, who had been aggrieved for too long, see the hope and dawn of turning over.
"Ah Huo, I support you unreservedly."
Lu Chengfeng was not angry because Yu Huo discarded the double-ended embroidery needle, but was the first to stand up and support Yu Huo, which made Yu Huo have already taken the first step in the division.
With the support of Lu Chengfeng, the elder of the sect, the twelve protectors naturally had no other objections, and Yu Huo got the key thirteen votes without any suspense, and finally sat firmly in the position of the master of the sect with an absolute advantage.
Yu Huo took over the position of the master of the corpse line, and it was not disclosed to the public, and at present, Yu Huo's identity is Wu Ya, and Yu Huo is essentially dead, which is naturally reserved in order to ensure the safety of Yu Huo.
On this issue, in order not to reveal the true identity of Yu Huo, Lu Chengfeng and the Twelve Dharma Protectors cooperated very tacitly, and successfully helped Yu Huo get through this hurdle.
For most people in the sect, the life and death of Ember is not important, and it doesn't matter who is the master, what matters is who can lead everyone to correct the name of the sewing corpse, who is the boss of the sewing corpse.
Now Yu Huo has the sacrificial weapon in his hand, and those who get the ring win the world, and whoever holds the ring will naturally recognize who is the master of this master, there is no doubt about it.
It's just that in this division, there are also forces hiding in the shadows, who are staring at Ember Fire's every move, so Ember needs to be more careful in his next style, after all, the person who stabbed the knife in the back is the most dangerous enemy.
After the handover ceremony of the door owner, the embers need to find the use of the copper lock as soon as possible, the master Jingshuilou is not a person who plays tricks, nor is he a lover of the copper lock, the only explanation is only one possibility, that is, behind the copper lock, there must be an ulterior secret.
As for what the secret behind this is, it is not known for the time being, perhaps this is related to the disappearance of the master Jingshuilou in a sense, and it is not impossible.
So whether the disappearance of the master and the successive murders of Jiang Hai are directly related, Yu Huo doesn't dare to think about it, after all, in these murders, the murderer's modus operandi, and the clues vaguely point to the sewing of corpses.
And to be able to have such superb corpse sewing skills, except for the master Jingshuilou, Yu Huo can't think of a second person, which makes people think about it carefully.
Yu Huo needs to find the truth as soon as possible, and the breakthrough to find the truth is to find the reason for the disappearance of Master Jingshuilou as soon as possible, and this has become the only breakthrough at the moment.
Yu Huo knows that people who can kill people in the name of 'art' are not as simple as killing people and buying murder for revenge.
From the perspective of criminal psychology, the motive for killing is very likely to be related to his growth experience, or he has experienced some major changes, resulting in psychological aberrations and defects, so as to find spiritual pleasure through this perverted killing method, or to be precise, spiritual comfort.
But in the memory of the ember fire, the master Jingshuilou's psychological quality is extremely strong, and he has not experienced major changes, so his motive for killing is not established, and with Jingshuilou's style, even if he wants to kill, he will not reveal such a big flaw, isn't this a fire?
If it is inferred like this, the suspicion of Jingshuilou has been basically ruled out, so who will this murderer be? And why did you deliberately draw this fire to the body of the sewing corpse?
Could it be the rumored 'Five Immortal Guards'?
Yu Huo thought of this mysterious organization again, before Zhuo Tingguan was hit by the worm Gu of the 'Five Immortal Guards', followed by the death of Xu Maochun, the president of the Yixue Association, 'Plum Blossom Branding', is there a direct connection between the two?
Yu Huo suddenly had a bold speculation, assuming that the person who gave Zhuo Ting the Gu was the 'Five Immortal Guards', and the person who killed Xu Maochun was from the corpse sewing line, then would there be people in the 'Five Immortal Guards' who were sewing the corpse?
If this assumption is true, then apart from Master Jingshuilou's superb corpse sewing skills, is there anyone else's technique that has reached such a perfect level.
Ember Huo's thoughts were at an impasse, because in his impression, there would be no third person except the master and the uncle.
Yu Huo once again opened the 'Autopsy Flower Language', hoping to find some inspiration and breakthroughs from this book that records the wisdom and techniques of the ancestors.
