Chapter 118: Qimen Dunjia Technique
Fucheng didn't come back to eat, only Li Shuyuan returned to the broken temple, Li Shuyuan knelt on the ground, feeling that he had fallen into eight lifetimes of mold, and he actually provoked Zhou Heng, the big Buddha.
Zhou Heng was too lazy to talk to him, Fucheng was missing, and when Li Shuyuan chased him to Closed Moon Xuan, Fucheng had disappeared.
The only thing left was Chu Ruo, the God of Wealth hidden in the cabinet. Chu Ruo looked at Zhou Heng with hatred, this was the person who killed Zhang Jinsheng, she was vicious and always killed Zhou Heng at one point.
Zhou Heng sneered, he didn't take it seriously, Chu Ruo was not worth mentioning in Zhou Heng's eyes in terms of both kung fu and appearance.
Zhou Heng is not like Fucheng, he will not feel guilty for killing Zhang Jinsheng, and he has no attitude of pity for Chu Ruo, but he finally asked something he wanted, and a mysterious woman came to the room before Chu Ruo fainted.
What is a woman like? Chu Ruo had no impression. However, from Chu Ruo's words, Zhou Heng deduced that this person was proficient in the magic pupil soul dementoring technique.
The most infuriating thing happened, the old bustard of Closed Moon Xuan came to the broken temple, was frightened by the guards at the door, and mustered up the courage to ask Zhou Heng for money, and Fucheng owed 1,000 taels of silver.
Everyone came to the door, Zhou Heng didn't expect that he was going to wipe Fu Cheng's ass, and while giving Fu Cheng a thousand taels for prostitution, he thought that if he found him, Fu Cheng wouldn't want to get out of bed.
Zhou Heng sent people out to look for it, but there was nothing to gain so far. Jin Ling is a little unsteady, and at this time he can only trust Zhou Heng's ability.
Yan Shaokang came, he originally came to look for Fucheng, but he didn't see Fucheng, only Zhou Heng with an angry face.
"The autopsy is over. Yan Shaokang's words were concise and to the point, thirty-nine corpses were not easy to do, not a very difficult thing, but tedious enough.
Two black blues appeared under his eyes, and the zombie face looked even more lifeless.
"The result?" Zhou Heng asked.
"As Fu Cheng expected, some of Rao's fatal injuries were not on the neck and chest, they were forged later. Yan Shaokang handed the booklet to Zhou Heng.
Zhou Heng frowned while looking at it, Yan Shaokang wrote quite carefully, Zhou Heng read it word by word, he didn't understand medical skills, he just wanted to see a rough idea, but one of them made him particularly concerned, the Fengmen point behind the deceased was penetrated by a finger.
Zhou Heng stared at this one, and suddenly his eyelids jumped, where had he seen this. A guide to killing?
That's right! Song Chuan's record of "Hundred Wrong Collection" was laughingly called "Murder Guide" by Fu Cheng, Zhou Heng took a look, but one glance was enough, he remembered the things on it.
Is it Song Chuan? Zhou Heng finally understood why he always felt a sense of threat every time he looked at Song Chuan, he mistakenly thought that Song Chuan was interested in Fucheng, but now he figured it out.
Zhou Heng was even more angry in his heart, okay, this person is still the one next to you
"Poor snot bubble", Zhou Heng wanted to pinch people to death in his heart, but he still calmly commanded on his face: "Find out Song Chuan." Yan Shaokang didn't react, and said, "What are you looking for Song Chuan?" Zhou Heng threw the booklet to Yan Shaokang and said, "Song Chuan has written a guide to killing, and one of them is the Fengmen acupoint. Things became clear, Song Chuan lurked beside Fu Cheng, slowly carrying out his plan.
When did the assassination begin? No one knows, it may have been the one who met Fucheng, or it could have been long before Fucheng returned to Bailu City, eighty percent was in Song Chuan's heart, and the Ten Thousand Corpses Formation never ended.
Zhou Heng wanted to take Fucheng away, but Song Chuan had no choice, he had to speed up his steps and lure Fucheng to appear.
The thirty-nine corpses that Li Shuyuan could find were deliberately exposed by Song Chuan, and sure enough, Li Shuyuan found Fucheng.
But Song Chuan didn't expect that Fucheng would invite Yan Shaokang to perform an autopsy, Song Chuan's medical skills were learned from Yan Shaokang, and Yan Shaokang could see the clues of the matter at a glance.
After Fucheng went to Luojiazhuang Yizhuang to ask Yan Shaokang to leave, Song Chuan was so anxious that he rushed to the county office, wanting to destroy the evidence before they arrived.
However, his move was broken by Fu Cheng and chased all the way to Liuyin Lane. The totem on the Taoist temple must have ten years of Danqing skills, and only Song Chuan can do it.
Yan Shaokang never expected that Song Chuan, who he had been with for three years, was a person from the Life and Death Sect, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine, Song Chuan had been lying dormant by Fu Cheng's side, not realizing that he had done the same thing back then.
Li Shuyuan didn't know anything about Song Chuan, and suddenly realized at this time: "It's that simple?"
"It's as simple as that. Zhou Heng said, but he was thinking in his heart, that stupid person in Fucheng was able to wrap himself around because of this.
When he found it, he wouldn't be able to get out of bed, Zhou Heng thought again. Dare to be in the city is a stupid Rao and only Zhou Heng, Li Shuyuan thought to himself, this master is really extraordinary, he knew that he should ask Zhou Heng for help, but he saw that Zhou Heng was now looking like he was going to kill Rao, and he thought that he should not deal with this master.
Zhou Heng took over the matter, he went to Yitangguan, and there were two people alive on the tombstone besides Fucheng, Ding Jiu and Yi Qi.
Zhou Heng heard about Fucheng, and the names were arranged according to the time of entering the religion. Under normal circumstances, the earlier you enter the school, the more experience you learn, and killing is a technique based on experience.
This is an exception to this, but he is better than the people in Group A. The two people who are still alive are either dead or on their way to death.
Zhou Heng was indifferent to this Rao life and death, he just wanted to ambush the city. When he got up, he saw the huge totem, the totem was bloody, and after looking at it for a long time, he would unconsciously immerse himself in it, and he couldn't help but feel furious in his heart, Zhou Heng was no exception, he stared at the eyes on the totem, and felt a suffocating pressure.
Fucheng was robbed, and it was taken away by this thing. Zhou Heng didn't dare to think about it, he felt extremely uncomfortable when he thought about it, and he didn't want to see Fucheng covered in blood.
Zhou Heng was thinking about it, Lu Chuanbai came, Lu Chuanbai didn't understand what Zhou Heng asked him to come over, and just wanted to salute, Zhou Heng's voice had already come coldly,
"No courtesy. Lu Chuanbai was cleaning up the mess in Xiahou Mansion, and while still trying to find some evidence against Zhou Heng, he was called rashly, and he was a little bottomless in his heart.
Zhou Heng said: "I heard that you broke the ghost fire case in Kyoto at the age of eighteen. Lu Chuanbai had many questions in his heart, why did Zhou Heng suddenly do this, so he could only say: "Yes." Zhou Heng said: "Do you know these two things in Bailu City?" Lu Chuanbai was even more puzzled, he had heard Li Shuyuan a few times when he was investigating the Xiahou Mansion case before, it was nothing more than where and where the body was found, and how strange the death was.
But Suzhou is not the territory of Jinyiwei, and Lu Chuanbai is too lazy to care about this. Zhou Heng continued: "Jinyiwei is for the country and the people, can Zu Xun remember?" Lu Chuanbai was stunned, what they Jinyiwei did on weekdays was to inspect and arrest, it was better to do it for the country and the people than for the emperor, Zhou Heng suddenly made people unable to refute it.
Lu Chuanbai replied respectfully: "Keep it in mind." Zhou Heng said: "Since you remember, why don't you care?" Lu Chuanbai felt bitter in his heart, so he only heard Zhou Heng continue: "From today onwards, you are fully responsible for the matter of life and death. "Lu Chuanbai is in Kyoto, and the Kyoto official is crushed to death, not to mention that the other party is a prince, even if Lu Chuanbai is reluctant, he can only respond.
Lu Chuanbai felt the coercion on Zhou Heng's body, if he couldn't solve the case and couldn't find the pet next to Zhou Heng, Zhou Heng estimated that he would be able to die with Lu Chuanbai for the rest of his life.
Lu Chuanbai could only grit his teeth and say, "Obey." Li Shuyuan couldn't help but gloat when he saw Lu Chuanbai eating deflated, thinking that there was also one of you who was deflated.
Jinyiwei's strength is much greater than Li Shuyuan's, the whole city of Bailu City is under martial law, and the arrest is fast and Jinyiwei are searching in Bailu City, and the gambling houses and taverns in the city are the first to start investigating, just as Zhou Heng promised, he wants to turn this city upside down.
The county magistrate didn't know what this was for, but he could only go there, because no matter which side he was, no one could afford to provoke him, and no one dared to make a mistake in front of the real official authority.
Zhou Heng was thinking, if he was Yi Qi or Ding Jiu, where would he hide? If it was Zhou Heng in the past, he would not be able to empathize like this at all, but he had been trained by Fu Cheng, and he had somewhat understood Fu Cheng's thoughts.
But I can't think of it at all, Zhou Heng is not a person from their life and death sect, and there are still too many differences. Zhou Heng paused and said, "Where is Li Jianqing?" The spy at the bottom replied: "The prince of Zhenbei left the county government yesterday and went home. "Such a coincidence?
If you don't leave sooner or later, you just go back to the Zhenbei Wangfu at this juncture? Zhou Heng intuitively felt that the prince had nothing to do with this matter, or that it was too big, and Song Chuan alone could not do it to the point of blackmailing the city.
Zhou Heng clenched his fists, he was afraid of the Zhenbei Army behind Li Jianqing before, and he never touched Li Jianqing.
Last time, he only asked Li Xiaoxiao to warn him after the incident, but now that he has attacked him again and again, it is only a matter of time before Zhou Heng and Li Jianqing draw their swords and meet each other.
Zhou Heng suddenly felt a little ironic, Fucheng tried every possible way to choose Zhou Heng out of this matter, but he didn't expect that Zhou Heng had already been involved in Zheng but Li Jianqing led Jinyiwei to Bailu City, thinking that Lu Chuanbai would not deal with Zhou Heng, but he didn't expect Lu Chuanbai to be cleaned up by Zhou Heng, and even temporarily became Zhou Heng's right and left hand.
Lu Chuanbai is not a soft eater, Jinyiwei is corrupt and incompetent, but Lu Chuanbai is not, if he does not have strength, it is impossible to achieve the position of the general flag at a young age.
Lu Chuanbai lost in the Xiahou Mansion case because it was Zhou Heng and Li Jianqing who planned the case behind him, and when it came to imperial power, he could fall again and again.
Lu Chuanbai made a move, Song Chuan's arrangement was not enough to see, there were zero eyebrows that night, Lu Chuanbai replied to Zhou Heng: "Bailu City was the realm of the Life and Death Sect before, and that totem is the Ten Thousand Corpses Formation, its juice..." Zhou Heng interrupted him impatiently and said, "The point." He didn't have the slightest interest in how Lu Chuanbai investigated the case.
Lu Chuanbai said: "There is an entrance to the Land Temple outside the city. "Several arrangements of the Life and Death Sect are actually in temples or Taoist temples, and when people come to worship the gods, eighty percent of them don't know what they want to worship.
Jinyiwei guards the land temple, this temple is more than the broken temple in Fucheng, but now it is crowded with so many people, and the Buddha statue of the land has been removed, revealing a black and dark hole.
The naked eye can see several steps, which extend down into the darkness, like a demon with its mouth wide open.
Zhou Heng threw a torch down, and briefly shone a side of light, reflecting a strange shadow, Zhou Heng recognized it for a while before he saw that it was Sensen's white bones, and all the people Song Chuan had killed before were buried here.
The torches slowly went out, and the white bones slowly dimmed and finally disappeared, which looked a little weird at some point. There is no fire oil in it.
Zhou Heng took the torch under his hand again and walked down. Lu Chuanbai said: "Your Highness?" Zhou Heng didn't answer him, holding a torch, and his figure had disappeared into the darkness, leaving only a very unreal looking back.
Lu Chuanbai didn't expect that a dignified prince could risk his life, he didn't like Zhou Heng, but at this time, he couldn't let Zhou Heng go to death, the prince died in front of Jinyiwei, and he could make Lu Chuanbai's ancestor angry.
Zhou Heng pinched Lu Chuanbai's point so that he could help him again and again, Lu Chuanbai cut and reluctantly followed Zhou Heng.
Lu Chuanbai regretted it a little after going down the cave, because the underground was cold, and his ability to solve cases was one of the best, but he was a little afraid of ghosts.
Fortunately, there are a group of brocade guards behind, and there are many people with yang energy, so there are some points in my heart. Lu Chuanbai suppressed the discomfort in his heart, and felt that he had begun to be unlucky after coming to Bailu City.
He wanted to scold Zhou Heng in his heart, but he felt disrespectful, and he couldn't get angry. Zhou Heng didn't mean to wait for Lu Chuanbai at all, he walked straight forward, and Lu Chuanbai could only follow with difficulty.
But as he walked, something began to be wrong, Zhou Heng's back became more and more blurred, Lu Chuanbai quickened his pace and shouted, "Your Highness!" Zhou Heng didn't respond to him, there was a turn in front of him, Lu Chuanbai was in a hurry to follow, but when he chased to the corner, he found that Zhou Heng was gone.
The staff officer said: "This ...... Why is the prince gone?" Lu Chuanbai frowned, and heard another subordinate say, "Is this cave haunted?"
"Shut up!" Lu Chuanbai turned his head and scolded. But in my heart, I remembered the Demon Buddha in the Hanging Temple, and I couldn't help but feel a little numb.
Lu Chuanbai was calm, he didn't want to lose face in front of his subordinates, he had always been proud, how could he afford to lose this kind of face.
Lu Chuanbai gritted his teeth and continued to walk forward, but the road ahead was getting narrower and narrower, and the hole was getting more and more cramped, and he had to bend slightly to get through Lu Chuanbai While walking, he couldn't help but sweat coldly, trying not to touch the wall, for fear that a broken hand would come out of the wall and pull his ankle and choke his neck.
But as he walked, he felt that there were always ghost hands in all directions to drag him back. Lu Chuanbai stopped halfway through, because he heard a cry, he forcibly calmed down and didn't say a word, until a subordinate couldn't bear to say: "You, did you hear it?" Lu Chuanbai thought to himself that I heard it, not only did I hear it, but I also felt that it was right in front of me.
There was soil behind him: "Is His Royal Highness the Prince being eaten by a ghost?" Lu Chuanbai didn't light a torch, the torch was held by his subordinates behind him, and there was only half a meter of light in front of him.
Lu Chuanbai forcibly suppressed his trills and said, "Give me the torch." The subordinates behind trembled and handed the torch to Lu Zongqi, because his hands were shaking, the fire above was also shaking, and he was almost directly extinguished.
Lu Chuanbai is a person who believes in ghosts and gods very much, and he still has a string of prayer beads wrapped around his hand, but on the one hand, he is a strong person, and he thinks that it is impossible to retreat, even if it is a demon or a monster in front, he has to be hard-headed.
The torch stretched forward, and as soon as something came out, Lu Chuanbai's whole person froze. A figure suddenly appeared in front of him, a black shadow hanging upside down, his long hair hanging low, and dripping wet down.
The thing was lying on the top of the cave on all fours, as if attracted by the firelight, and suddenly crawled towards the light source at great speed, and directly put his face on Lu Chuanbai.
Lu Chuanbai's whole person froze and didn't even run, the face that was close at hand had no facial features, only a black mist, the black mist suddenly moved, and he pulled a smile, and the smile was directly cracked to the root behind the ear.
The hairs on Lu Chuanbai's back exploded, on the strategy Lu Chuanbai's existing defeats, on martial arts Lu Chuanbai can also fight, but on exorcism, Lu Chuanbai was directly stunned.
When he was collapsing, an embroidered spring knife appeared out of thin air next to his ear. The embroidered spring knife went straight to the door of the black shadow, only to hear a scream, the black shadow was stabbed, screamed, fell off the wall, and then disappeared into the darkness.
The subordinates behind were also frightened, and said, "This, this is a ghost?" Someone wanted to cry without tears, and said, "I think this is still a water ghost, let's go quickly." Lu Chuanbai didn't want to think in the direction of ghosts, but the subordinates behind him were chattering, as if they couldn't talk without ghosts.
Lu Chuanbai forcibly calmed down, just thought about something, only felt his shoulders sink, he had just experienced such an experience, and thought that another ghost friend had come out, and he was about to swing a knife, only to find that it was a human hand, Liu Xitian said: "This is Qimen Dunjia with Fangshu." Lu Chuanbai slowed down for a while before he recognized him as Liu Xitian, he had something to go out in Xiahou Mansion before, and it was Liu Xitian who guarded the formation, but when he came back, Fucheng had already come to take Sister Wang and the Blood Buddha away.
So Lu Chuanbai has always had doubts about him and has always looked down on him. And at this moment, it is estimated that the truth is seen in adversity, and I feel that this person is still a little useful.
Liu Xitian deliberately lowered his voice and said to Lu Chuanbai: "Lu Zongqi don't be afraid. Liu Xitian took care of Lu Chuanbai's face, and lowered his voice, only they could stand up to each other.
"Who, who is afraid?" Lu Chuanbai glared at Liu Xitian as if he had been caught. Liu Xitian no longer followed Lu Chuanbai, he raised the embroidered spring knife in his hand, so that the brothers behind him could see clearly, the knife was stained with blood, Liu Xitian smiled, and said: "It's not a ghost, it's human blood, this is a Qimen Dunjia technique, the strength of the general banner, you don't have to be afraid." The subordinates in the back didn't see Lu Zongqi in a cold sweat at all, and said: "It's still Zongqi's boldness, and I don't dare to go ahead." ”
"Fortunately, Mr. Lu is here. The subordinates in the back began to talk one after another. And Liu Xitian held a torch and smiled at Lu Chuanbai: "Mr. Lu, please." The cold sweat behind Lu Chuanbai hadn't dried yet, but at this time he calmed down, he held his chin and began to think, it turned out to be a Qimen Dunjia technique, so he was afraid of a ghost?
In the dark tunnel, Zhou Heng's shadow was projected onto the rock wall by torches, like a ghost who had been lonely for many years.
This ghost cave seems to have a big deal, and the scene Zhou Heng saw was completely different from Lu Chuanbai. This is an underground palace, the underground palace has been abandoned for many years, and there are scattered white bones along the way.
The dungeon was gone, and Zhou Heng didn't even feel terrible when he walked in it. But after entering the dungeon, the concept of time seemed to be far away, and Zhou Heng seemed to have been in for many years.
Zhou Heng listened to it for a while, and sure enough, he couldn't hear the voice of the Jinyi guard behind him, Zhou Heng thought to himself, this life and death sect is worthy of being a demon sect, and there are many crooked ways of evil sects.
Lu Chuanbai and the others have been trapped by what Qimen Dunjia. Just as he was thinking, suddenly the torch shook violently, and a dark shadow flashed.
Zhou Heng stood with the torch for a while, a breeze blew, the torch was about to be extinguished, and a cold snake crawled on the ground.
Zhou Heng didn't act rashly anymore, because he noticed the dagger in Lin's throat, and it was not his hand that held the dagger, but a black shadow.
The shadow was close to Zhou Heng's skin, and a strange wet liquid flowed down. After a while, the ghost hand turned into a human hand, and Song Chuan's face also appeared on Zhou Heng's face.
"You're not surprised at all?" Song Chuan said.
"Why should I be surprised?" Zhou Heng said coldly, the only person in this world who can make him have a little different emotions is Fu Cheng.
"You're not worried about your subordinates?" Song Chuan asked. Zhou Heng seemed to have heard some ridiculous question, and he didn't bother to answer.
If Lu Chuanbai can't even deal with this problem, then he doesn't want the position of the Jinyi Wei General Banner.
Song Chuan said: "Follow me." Zhou Heng was obedient, and he didn't resist, and he left.
And the more obedient Zhou Heng was, the more flustered Song Chuan became. In the dark, Song Chuan seemed to not need the light at all, and slowly advanced against Zhou Heng.
Zhou Heng said: "You have bad legs and feet, I can walk slower." Song Chuan heard the mockery in Zhou Heng's tone and said, "Shut up." Zhou Heng sneered: "You don't have to be so nervous, Fucheng is in your hands, I don't dare to do anything." "There are many organs in the underground palace, even Song Chuan is cautious, and the slightest carelessness will trigger the cold arrow.
Song Chuan took Zhou Heng forward, but he was faintly a little scared, because Zhou Heng could have triggered the mechanism to escape in chaos, but Zhou Heng never moved.
The more well-behaved Zhou Heng was, the more Song Chuan muttered, and Song Chuan felt that this person must have other plans. Song Chuan made up his mind and said no more.
Zhou Heng wanted to talk from Song Chuan's mouth, but Song Chuan was indeed smart, and once he noticed it, he kept silent.
The two of them groped their way forward in the dungeon for a while, and suddenly there was a faint light in front of them. Zhou Heng subconsciously raised his head to block his eyes, and only raised his head after getting used to it for a while, the empty space was cut into a circle, and this is a well.
Zhou Heng didn't see the moon when he looked up, the sky was hazy, and it was going to rain. And there is light because there are people waiting at the mouth of the well with lanterns, and it seems that they have been waiting for a long time.
Song Chuan carried Zhou Heng, his legs and feet were injured, and he was a little inflexible, but he worked lightly, even so, he stepped on the wall of the well and carried Zhou Heng up in no more than ten steps.
Zhou Heng saw that Song Chuan's leg was oozing blood again, and this person could take Zhou Heng out even if he was lame.
Zhou Heng thought that Fucheng had once been bad at light skills, but Zhou Heng didn't take it seriously at the time, because Fucheng's kung fu was proud enough in all aspects, but now he understands that the person who is really good at light skills should be like Song Chuan.
Song Chuan just brought Zhou Heng up, only to hear a loud noise behind him, and the two people standing at the wellhead smashed a boulder down with a bang to block the wellhead.
Zhou Heng understood in an instant that the underground palace was nothing more than a cage that trapped Jinyiwei, so he cut off one of Zhou Heng's arms.
The ancient well is surrounded by trees that shade the sun, and Zhou Heng is not so familiar with Bailu City that he can't tell where this is.
But Zhou Heng looked around, and the forest was full of sect members. These people are no different from ordinary people, no, they look like ordinary people.
They didn't wear uniform clothes, and they all dressed like ordinary people everywhere. These people are all old, most of them are in their twenties, most of them are in their thirties and forties, and there is nothing special about the appearance of men and women.
In normal times, they hide in the streets and alleys of Bailu City, turning into peddlers, ladies selling wine on the street, guys in restaurants, beggars on the roadside, and masters in bathhouses.
Zhou Heng also saw a person dressed in clothes that hunted fast, they were everywhere, infiltrating every corner of Bailu City, silently observing the people who came and going, noting down which of their kind, distinguishing the Ten Thousand Corpse Array Sect members hidden in the depths, and then reporting to their master.
In the night, they stood in the forest with lanterns in their hands, their expressions were gloomy, and their bodies exuded a solemn aura, like living tombstones in the forest.
Zhou Heng thought that they should look strange, but he didn't expect that they were ordinary people, and these people estimated that they would pass by Zhou Heng many times.
However, the more ordinary it is, the more eerie it seems in this strange forest. The faces of the congregants carrying lanterns were reflected to the point of being a little frightened, as if they were attending a wedding feast for evil spirits.
Song Chuan interrupted Zhou Heng's thoughts, grabbed him, and said, "Let's go." Zhou Heng walked two steps, and then he saw an altar, the altar was made of rocks, each stone was painted with a white charm, and the altar was inlaid with a huge night pearl, which was illuminated within five meters.
But the night pearl is not the sun, it exudes an eerie cold light, and the altar is more than two meters high, and Zhou Heng has to look up to see the people above.
Zhou Heng squinted his eyes and looked at it for a while, there were two people on the altar, one standing and one kneeling.
Zhou Heng's expression finally cracked a little, even if he only glanced at it, Zhou Heng could recognize that the kneeling man was Fu Cheng.
Zhou Heng wanted to stay calm, he knew that Fu Cheng would not die, but when he saw Fu Cheng's appearance, he felt that someone slapped him, and his mind was dizzy.
Fu Cheng was dressed in the same black suit he had seen for the last time, with a neck ring around his neck, and a wrist-thick iron chain hanging from the neck to the altar.
His hands were clasped together, handcuffed together by iron chains, the cold neck ring set off Fu Cheng's face pale, there was a gold needle on the top of his head, probably because of the gold needle sealing the acupoint, Fu Cheng did not wake up, Fu Cheng lost consciousness, he was half-closed eyes, he had lost his brilliance, the fire cloud pattern on his forehead was dull, like a layer of blood scab against Fu Cheng's forehead.
Like a dog, these people profess to worship the city as a god, but treat him like a dog.
