The inquisition located behind Westminster Abbey is a less frequently used one among the seven inquisitions in Dunling. However, it is heavily guarded and is home to many demon hunters and paladins. Jin Shanfeng followed Yin Xiu and the others, carrying the Red Emperor's body wrapped in a piece of canvas on his back, and had no intention of escaping. Because even if he could escape, among the remaining two people, Liu Rushi was agile and light-footed, and might have a better chance of escaping than him, but Ah Fei would definitely be dead. They originally did a series of things just to save Ah Fei, and if they escape now, it would be a reversal of the whole process. So he just kept silent and followed Yin Xiu to the door of the court. Several people stood in front of the door, waiting for the gatekeeper to open it. Yin Xiu suddenly put his hand on A Fei's body, making Jin Shanfeng and Liu Rushi's hearts rise to their throats. However, Yin Xiu didn't seem to have any other intentions. He just emitted strands of invisible golden light from his hands to heal Ah Fei's injuries. Although Ah Fei could not see the golden light, he could feel that his body and complexion were recovering rapidly. "Is this Taoism?" he asked doubtfully.
"That's it." "Why save me?" "Why should I save you?" Yin Xiu shook his head. "I just have some questions to ask you. If I don't treat you, you won't be able to wait for me to ask you questions." "It's just a minor injury." Ah Fei said reluctantly. "Small injury?" Yin Xiu sneered, "Whenever I attack, there will never be any minor injuries. Do you think it's just bleeding? In fact, your meridians have been damaged. In less than a day, you will die, and your death will be very ugly." Ah Fei was very reluctant, "What is the so-called good death?" "Where isn't it?" Luo Wei replied: "Although death is not necessarily good-looking, there are indeed better ways to die, much better than poisoning or hanging." "What is it?" Luo Wei glanced at him and said, "What? Do you want to commit suicide?" "Maybe it will be useful someday?" Ah Fei didn't take it seriously, but just after he finished speaking, Luo Wei hit him on the head with a slap, and he squatted down in pain. "Are you going to torture me so soon?" he screamed. However, Luo Wei was very serious. "You think that's cool? I tell you, a real man will die someday. You either die of illness, get hit by a car or get killed by a flower pot falling from the balcony. There's nothing we can do about it. As for being killed by someone, it's probably not a shameful thing, because you can't beat others, that's all. But if you have thoughts of suicide, that would be really shameful.
Do you think that committing suicide is fulfilling your duty and proving your courage? But I tell you, the easiest thing in the world is to commit suicide, and that is what cowards do. " "People who commit suicide can't go to heaven." Kaxiu also agreed. "Just kidding, just kidding." Ah Fei was about to cry. "Are you kidding me, Yong Tan?" Yin Xiu shook his head. "I think you really don't know how to write the word death." After entering the court, they walked into the cellar under the guidance of a black-robed priest. Liu Rushi was wearing thin clothes and couldn't help but shrink her neck. Here, too, two priests were waiting for them. One is a tall girl with glasses, black hair and brown eyes. The other one also wore glasses, but he was a tall, thin, fair-skinned man with a stern face and clear lines. "This is Miss Dorothy, the administrator of the court and the investigator of the court." Kaxiu pointed his finger at the man again, "As for this one, Sif Wilson, ever since Jack the Ripper escaped from Dunling, he has inherited this title, the Ripper of Dunling." "Archbishop, you make it seem like I'm some unforgivable criminal." Sifo waved at Yin Xiu, "Jack the Ripper, that scum, only targeted women and children. I'm different. I treat everyone equally." He patted the iron bed beside him and said, "But this is just a joke. I actually hope that Jack the Ripper can lie here one day and let him experience the feeling of being cut open." "Maybe he won't have this opportunity." Yin Xiu spread his hands, "But I don't believe you can do such a thing as dissecting a living person on it." "Oh?" Xifu showed two rows of yellow teeth due to frequent tea drinking. "Why do you think so? Is there any basis for your belief?" "It's not based on anything, it's just my feeling. I feel that people who can work here can't be that bad." "Not always." Xifu did not comment and helped Jin Shanfeng put the corpse on his shoulders onto the iron bed. "It's wrapped like this, you didn't bring a mummy from the museum, did you?" Sifo said with a smile. "You should be serious at a time like this, Sifu." Dorothy adjusted her glasses, picked up a new notebook, and prepared to start taking notes. "I know. It's rigorous, serious and strict." Sifo pulled out a set of tools from the side, which were shiny and included long and short knives, large and small saws, scissors, an axe and a hammer. There are more than a dozen items in total, and they all appear to have been carefully cared for and maintained. Siver tore open the canvas and carefully removed other things, and the Red Emperor lay peacefully on the autopsy table.
"Where to look first?" Silver put on his gloves. Yoon-su pointed at the mask, "Face." "Face?" Sifo found it a little funny that these people carried the corpse from far away, not to see what was inside the body, but just to see the face under the mask that could be seen by just lifting it with their hands. Isn't this equivalent to chasing a girl for several years, and finally entering the bridal chamber just to see her feet? But the moment he took off the mask, Siver's smile froze. What a face it was, as if all the bumps and depressions were smoothed out. The nose was dug out and the cheekbones were smoothed down, and the face looked like a smoothed plate. There was not a single birthmark, not even a mole, and the almost smooth, poreless skin could not reveal the age or features of the corpse. Is this really a human corpse? However, the human corpses of vampires or werewolves do not look like this after death. What puzzled him even more was that the corpse's eyes were covered with a piece of yellow silk cloth, which was covered with talismans painted with cinnabar. "What on earth is this?" Sifu exclaimed. "It's Kunlun Warrior." Yin Xiu, Luo Wei and Ka Xiu were originally standing far away, covering their noses and eyes. They only came closer after confirming that there was nothing unusual on Xifu's side. "[Kunlun Warrior]? What is that?" Xifu obviously didn't understand at all. "Please let me get closer." Yin Xiu also took out a pair of gloves from the side and put them on his hands. He drew a line from the forehead of the corpse, from the center of the eyebrows to the mouth. Then he squeezed both sides of the cheeks, and a black round bead the size of an egg came out of the corpse's mouth. "Is this the Corpse-Fixing Pearl?" Luo Wei asked. "It seems that you drank tea with Uncle Ming quite a lot while I was away." Yin Xiu turned the bead over and found that there was also a Bagua pattern on the other side of the bead, which was probably also the symbol of the Laoshan School. "What are Kunlun Hercules? Are they a special kind of people?" Sifo asked again. “Kunlun strongman is not really a human being. You may have heard that some Eastern Taoist priests and immortals are often accompanied by a few children, both boys and girls. These people are called Taoist children. They don't know magic and usually don't help during fights. The job of a Taoist boy is to assist the Taoist in his daily life, such as sweeping the courtyard, being responsible for food, watching the fire and keeping watch during alchemy. You can think of him as a servant of the Taoist. There are many people like this who serve the Taoist priests, in addition to Taoist children, there are also believers. Some of these people rely on the Taoist priest to survive, while others hope that if they help the Taoist priest, either financially or with effort, they will be able to ascend to heaven when the Taoist priest attains enlightenment one day, and they will be able to ascend as well because of this merit and cause and effect. Kunlun strongmen are the third type of people, or strongmen, who are responsible for walking outside for the Taoists.
Some of these people volunteered, while others were captured by the evil Taoists and refined into this appearance. They have basically no self-awareness, nor do they feel pain or hunger. They are another identity, or puppets, of the Taoists walking in the world. The Taoist priest can use some magic to control the Kunlun Warrior, making him look like he has an independent personality and full of power. The guy we see before us is just a puppet, not a living person. " After listening to Yin Xiu's explanation, Xifu took a breath. "I used to think that the East was a rich place full of gold, but now that you've described it, I think it's very mysterious." "I thought you meant to say it was far away." At this time, Yin Xiu was certain that even if the guy lying on the autopsy table was really the "Red Emperor", he was not the driving force behind this large-scale vampire war, nor was he the so-called Dragon Emperor's son rider. Because when Yin Xiu killed him, the red dragon disappeared without a trace in an instant, as if it had never existed. This also made Yin Xiu suspicious at the time, thinking that the Red Emperor must have escaped using some kind of escape technique. Now it seems that this is a method that is even more bizarre than the escape technique, or someone is using an evil spell behind the Red Emperor. He reached out and untied the silk cloth tied around the eyes of the corpse. Yin Xiu could understand most of the talismans drawn on it, but they were not clues. After removing the silk cloth, as he expected, the Kunlun strongman's two empty eye holes were exposed, staring straight at the ceiling. One of the requirements for making a Kunlun Hercules is to dig out the seven orifices of the person being made and then implant a talisman in them. Yin Xiu touched an inch below the body and gestured to Xifo, "Please help me make an operation here, about three inches below." "Okay, three inches, right?" After confirming with Yin Xiu, Xifu turned around and picked out a knife from a pile of tools. With just a slight scratch, a cut appeared on the body. Sifo had dissected more corpses than he had eaten fish, so after making a precise cut, he took out a pair of tweezers and gently probed and stirred the flesh a few times according to the approximate position and distance Yin Xiu had mentioned. "There's something stuck down there, three inches away." Yoonsu wasn’t surprised. “Would you mind reaching down and taking it out?” "I don't mind, but I must say that my tweezers are more flexible than my hands and they won't damage the body." Silver turned and pulled out a pair of even smaller tweezers with tips that looked like nail clippers. After Dorothy pulled the searchlight closer, Silver reached down with the tweezers, turned them twice, moved his fingers, and picked something out. It was a cylinder wrapped in cloth with a red string tied to it. "Is this what you're looking for?" Xifu did not intend to open it himself, but handed it to Yin Xiu. "Thank you." Yin Xiu took the cylinder and removed the cloth outside, revealing a small bamboo tube inside.
He poured it into his palm, and a red talisman paper rolled into a cylinder fell into his palm. Just as Yin Xiu thought, it was the talisman. The Xuanzhen Cave is steep and there is a path that winds around the cliff. Chickens in the clouds are incubating eggs, and clams are returning pearls from the sea. There is a bright mirror in the middle, with symbols of the sun and the moon hanging on it. Sanfeng left a secret formula: the Jade Rabbit raises the Golden Crow. "Laoshan Sect is really weird." Luo Wei sighed. "It's not the sect that's evil, it's the people." Yin Xiu put the talisman paper aside and asked Jin Shanfeng and the other two who had been stunned. "When you came into contact with the Red Emperor before, didn't you feel anything was wrong?" "Something's wrong?" Jin Shanfeng shook his head, "In fact, due to our work and mission, we need to recover the bodies at the end, so we basically don't appear with the Red Emperor, but hide behind the scenes. According to his orders, no matter how dangerous the situation is, we can only hide and never take action." "In that case," Luo Wei stroked his chin, "the reason why the Red Emperor asked them to retrieve the body was to prevent others from knowing that this matter was related to the Taoist Priests of Mount Laoshan?" "That's all." Yin Xiu thought about it and asked Jin Shanfeng again. "Besides the Red Emperor, do you know any other Tang people?" "Other Tang people." Jin Shanfeng and Liu Rushi looked at each other. "You have seen the two men holding the guillotine before. Could it be them?" "will not." Yin Xiu shook his head. "Even if it was them, it doesn't matter anymore. Besides, they don't have that kind of ability." After saying this, he looked at the three people present with a strange look, which made people shudder. "You don't doubt that the real Red Emperor is hiding among the three of them, right?" Luo Wei whispered. "Of course I have to doubt it." Yin Xiu whispered, "Although the Kunlun warrior can walk in the world on behalf of the Taoist priest, in reality, the distance that can be sensed and controlled is not that far. Even if the Taoist priest has great magical powers, there must always be a medium or relay role staying next to the Kunlun warrior." "I suspect that even if they are not Taoist priests, there must be a Taoist priest involved." Just then, Ah Fei suddenly remembered something.
"That ballerina, that ballerina, she is also a Tang!" (End of this chapter)
