Chapter 42: The Examination in the Temple
Chapter 42: The Examination in the Temple
Xiao Ruoshui walked out of the small courtyard and walked towards the Dustless Palace, he kept holding the unfinished wooden kite in his hand, but his heart was chaotic, the reluctant expression of the spirit kite when he left, Li Yunmeng looked at his tearful appearance, intertwined and changed back and forth in his mind, whether time has changed, or people have changed, why does he become entangled and no longer calm as water. The steps are brisk, but the heart is heavy.
"Ask what the time situation is, and the straight teach people to promise life and death. Xiao Gongzi regards me as nothing, it seems that he has a thought?" Jingyuan sat quietly at the door of the Dustless Palace, waiting for the senior brothers in that hall, but these senior brothers no longer woke up, just waiting for the corpses to be buried.
"Little Master Jingyuan, you can see people's psychology very well. Why haven't you slept all night?" Xiao Ruoshui reluctantly admitted, he looked at Jingyuan, who was a little tired, and greeted him with concern.
"I don't have the heart to sleep, I just want to spend a little more time with me, and maybe that's the only thing I can do. Jingyuan's lonely expression made people's eyes hot, and tears were about to burst out.
"Let's go in together, after the inspection today, we can be buried." Xiao Ruoshui invited Jingyuan to go with him to check.
"Okay, there are many pairs of eyes that can give more clues. Jingyuan nodded, stood up and walked into the hall.
The incense candles in the dustless hall were constantly burning, and the fragrance was permeated all around. Xiao Ruoshui asked carefully, and couldn't help but exclaim: "It's actually a good red sandalwood, this is a rare thing to clear the brain and preservative." With it, mosquitoes and small animals will hide away, which is also the protection of the righteous people in Qingcheng. Xiao Ruoshui smelled the incense. I can't stop admiring.
"Rosewood comes from the east, the old people go west, for several years, when will we meet again. Jingyuan didn't answer his words directly, just looked at the corpses and said something to himself.
Xiao Ruoshui looked at Jingyuan, sighed, and stopped talking. He raised his head, and those six words appeared in front of him, as if looking at him. And it seems to be foreshadowing something. But he didn't know what it was, so he looked at it carefully and ignored it. He walked up to the first corpse, and Jingyuan was already wearing a mask and gloves. He took off the corpse's clothes. He also wore gloves. and masks. After all, these corpses are made of poison and cups, and if they are accidentally stained, they may also be life-threatening. So be careful. For the best policy, this is also one of the reasons why Xiao Ruoshui does not let others enter the Dustless Palace, in case there is a corpse poison leakage, then Qingcheng Mountain is the source of the plague. Therefore, he must dispose of all the corpses before he can be buried, otherwise he will definitely not be at ease.
"This is Jingwen's nephew, the appearance of the injury is a few scratches and a knife wound, the scratches have turned black, indicating that it was scratched first and then cut, the position of the knife is at the neck, and it can only be cut in the position of lying down, I think it is a knife that is made up, and it is these scratches that make Jingwen's nephew fall to the ground. Jingyuan calmly rummaged through the scars, carefully collecting the black liquid into a small bottle. He said to Xiao Ruoshui as he collected.
"I need a piece of liver, and I take a piece of each corpse, write a name, and put it in a bottle. I'm afraid I'm going to trouble you. Xiao Ruoshui carefully examined the corpse, he pried open his mouth with wood, opened his eyes with his fingers, observed for a long time, and then said to Jingyuan.
"There is no problem, I will instruct the medical disciples on Qingcheng Mountain to cut off a piece of each person's liver, and then put it into a bottle with the name of the deceased on it. Jingyuan agreed very calmly, he seemed to know today's cruel scene, so he said indifferently.
"All the collected specimens and samples must be sealed so that no one can mess with them, I am useful, and all the bodies must be cremated, not buried. The cemetery should be sprinkled with lime. Xiao Ruoshui said calmly, and he commanded little by little.
"You mean there may be a plague in these corpses?" asked Jing Yuan, looking at him with eyes outside the room, seriously.
"The possibility of the plague cannot be ruled out, what I am most worried about is the cup in the corpse, which I am the most unsure of, so I can only be careful and careful. Xiao Ruoshui said to Jingyuan a little helplessly, and he also showed a hint of helplessness.
"There are some weird tricks that make people really unguardable, and it is also appropriate to be careful, but these Qingcheng elites have fallen to the point of death without corpses, so I can't bear it. Jingyuan looked at Jingwen who was carried out and put on the pyre, his face full of grief and indignation, but he was so helpless.
"All the things that are hidden under the darkness will eventually be exposed, and what we need now is time, and I think we must get these ugly things out again, and then the time will be when they have nothing to hide. Xiao Ruoshui watched Jingwen's body being carried onto the pyre and turned into a puff of smoke, and he felt extremely uncomfortable, but he could only comfort him.
In the next two days and two nights, Xiao Ruoshui and Jingyuan didn't close their eyes, and slowly examined the corpses one by one, and they rummaged through the corpses one by one, checking them to see what the cause of their death was.
When the last corpse was examined, Xiao Ruoshui and Jingyuan were already full of exhaustion and tiredness, and they slowly walked out of the Dustless Palace, watching the last corpse turn into a puff of green smoke, raging around the back of the Dustless Palace.
"Dust to dust, dust to dust. This Yang seniors are extremely free and easy, but how did he know that he had changed the fate of so many people and embarked on a road of no return. Xiao Ruoshui looked at the green smoke fluttering in the wind and said with emotion.
"Maybe the six words of this dustless temple are the best destination for the two of us, and when the time comes, it will be dust to dust and dust to earth. Jingyuan said with a little emotion, he looked at the green smoke flying in the sky, and also fell into a deep thought.
The long road of life, where is the destination, how many years the hero has, no one knows how old he is. All the honors and difficulties were turned into ashes and nothingness in this handful of green smoke.
The two watched the green smoke disperse, and sighed with emotion, suddenly there was a loud bang, a loud rumbling sound in the dustless hall, Xiao Ruoshui and Jingyuan were taken aback, and when they turned around, the hall was dusty, and a little Taoist priest coughed in the dust and ran out, and said loudly: "The six-character avoidance has collapsed." ”
Xiao Ruoshui and Jingyuan looked at each other, hurriedly took a wrong step, and rushed into the dust-free hall, in the dust, they vaguely saw that the wall with six words written on it had peeled off a layer of dust, rubble, rubble scattered all over the ground, and a starry sky pattern appeared on the wall, which surprised Xiao Ruoshui and Jingyuan. There is still a secret hidden in these six-character photo walls, what does this starry sky map mean? Why did it collapse at this time? Xiao Ruoshui and Jingyuan both had a big question mark in their minds? (To be continued......
