Chapter 2: Unexplainable Spooky Branch
Chapter 2 The Weird Branch of the Aimless Law
Ren Qing’s eyes felt swollen, and he fell into darkness in a trance.
He couldn’t close his eyes at all, he only felt the sound of heavy footsteps approaching, and it was still coming from the direction he was looking.
Just as the presence in the dark was about to approach.
“The policeman…”
Ren Qing’s body was pushed, and all the strangeness disappeared.
He opened his eyes and found that the things around him had slowed down, and the flies that were hooked by the smell of blood seemed to be able to see the lines on their wings.
Two lines of tears slowly flowed from Ren Qing’s eyes, and his face became more and more terrifying.
Li Mian and the two took a few steps back. They leaned their backs against the wall and wanted to retreat, but they didn’t have the slightest strength, so they kept calling Ren Qing.
It took a few breaths for Ren Qing to come back to his senses. With the help of consuming Shouyuan, although he has already entered the “No-eye Method”, it will take some time before he masters it.
【Ren Qing】
【Age: Seventeen】
【Shouyuan: Five years and eighty-three days】
[Skill: Eyeless Method]
And after he mastered the “No-eye Law”, there seemed to be some changes in his mind, and he had to wait until he returned to the yamen.
“The qi and blood just went to the brain, and the wind and sand caused the eyes to hurt.”
Ren Qing casually found a reason, the Li brothers did not ask more, but took the initiative to do more physical work.
People die in Sanxiang City every day, and the fire workers inevitably have to contact them, so the yamen who govern him the most who dare not offend him.
Otherwise, something is going to happen, and I don’t know how to die.
They finished tidying up the bookstore, and there was only a large piece of dry blood left in it, and then it was the responsibility of Zaoli.
The bookstore door is sealed with a seal.
Ren Qing led the Li brothers out of the alley, and they walked towards the open space where the corpses were stored.
Xiao Wu waited for a long time and was anxiously moving around in circles.
The corpse beside was placed in the most conspicuous place in the morning market, and the sackcloth used to wrap it was soaked with blood.
“Brother Qing… Police officer, you are here.”
Xiaowu shouted in relief, it is indeed a bit difficult to look after a corpse on a deserted street at his age.
“Let’s go, I’ve been busy all morning, and I can rest well when I get back to the yamen.”
Ren Qing’s brows are no longer frowning, and now that he is on the right track, the pressure from Shouyuan is naturally a lot less.
The four of them chatted across the street and returned to the lively place.
A few knives were standing not far away. When they saw that the body had been disposed of, they nodded with Ren Qing and left.
Chu Kuai is mainly responsible for patrolling the streets in the yamen, and he does not need to touch the corpses of the tragic death, so the fire worker Zaoli cannot avoid envy.
But the yamen is a service that is passed down from generation to generation, usually from the father to the eldest son, and the duties cannot be easily changed.
The predecessor of Ren Qing actually came from a village a hundred miles northwest of Sanxiang City, called Bazi Village.
Originally, he had an older brother, who died unexpectedly after more than half a year after inheriting the post of yamen from his deceased father.
had no choice, the predecessor could not give up the iron rice bowl that was inherited from generation to generation, so he had to go to the yamen in Sanxiang City to report, and it didn’t take long for him to follow suit.
There should still be the mother of the predecessor in the home of Bazi Village, and Ren Qing also sends some silver money every month.
However, it is a little strange that most of the families in the city have four or five siblings, and it seems that for them, childbirth is not a hassle.
I don’t know what is supporting such a high birth rate…
Ren Qing didn’t have any impression of the old lady, but he put it together from Xiaowu’s mouth, and there were not many opportunities to meet, so he was not worried about being recognized.
The four passed through the west area of the city and came to the center of Sanxiang City, where the yamen is located.
The main gate has red walls and blue tiles. On the gate hangs the plaque of “Sanxiang County Office”.
As a town where hundreds of thousands of people live, the scale of the yamen is far beyond imagination.
The area alone is estimated to be tens of thousands of square meters, including 254 houses. The main gate is divided into four parts: east, west, north and south, and the area is also divided into four blocks.
Each area has the same buildings, and there is no intersection on weekdays.
Guard Hall, Jukuai Hall, Fire Worker Hall, Zaoli Hall, Prison Cell, Kitchen Courtyard, Magistrate’s House, Xianfo Temple, Gongshen Hall, Martial Arts Field, Sibuzhai…
As the yamen in the west area of the city, Ren Qing can only go through the main gate of the west, so he has not been in contact with other areas so far.
“finally reached…”
Xiao Wu rubbed his wrists, showing a little tiredness on his face.
The human body is as heavy as a rock after death. Even if four people take turns to carry it, they are exhausted, not to mention other sundries.
The Li brothers did not complain, but their expressions relaxed.
“Let’s go.”
Ren Qing sighed helplessly, there are only so many people under his command, otherwise there is no need to do rough work.
After entering the yamen, there are many plaques with Mingzhi hanging everywhere, some bright mirrors hanging high, as clear as pure water and so on.
Crossing the path paved with Xisha stone, you reach the Fireworks Hall.
The location of Huogongtang is slightly remote. There are several wells in the courtyard. The main reason is that the furnace is often burned and kept away from people as much as possible.
There are three fire halls in Yamen West District, each with two blocks of fire workers.
Twelve wing rooms unfolded side by side, with the morgue at the end and the fireplace near the corner.
The whole stove is made of iron and looks like a hollow gourd. The ingenious design can make it burn for seven or eight hours after putting in wood.
However, the fireworks hall where Ren Qing was located, and another batch of fireworkers from Hexing Street were temporarily transferred outside the city. It seemed that a certain village was infected with the plague.
The Li brothers placed the corpse of the bookstore shopkeeper in the morgue, and there were more than a dozen corpses inside, all of them were fire workers who died with a smirk.
The stove can burn three at the same time, but Ao was the only one before, so it was too late to burn the corpse, and now it is a bit rancid.
The newly arrived corpse will only have to wait a few days.
“You are ready to start the furnace, I will go to the room to rest for a while.”
Ren Qing told the three of them a few words, and then returned to the wing.
The Li brothers began to move the corpses and light the firewood, while Xiao Wu went to the kitchen to get some food. After all, it was noon.
Ren Qing sat cross-legged on the bed and closed his eyes while activating the flow of information.
He felt that the information of “The Law of No Eyes” began to converge, and then merged into one point, forming an illusory seed.
Consciousness touches the seed, and the seed immediately takes root and sprouts.
The seeds grew three buds, and the pattern on the leaves was like a weird eye.
When Ren Qing was puzzled, the text formed by the information appeared on the sprout, and it was accompanied by annotations.
【One Eyed: See Through Illusions】
【Hundred Eyes: Create Illusions】
【Those with heavy pupils: expect the enemy to come first】
He was stunned for a moment, then noticed that each paragraph of text represented a young leaf.
【Whether to choose the one-eyed branch, it will consume 1 year of life]
Ren Qing tried the other two, and found that the one-eyed person and the one-eyed person consume 1 year of lifespan, while the double-eyed person consumes 1 year and 6 months.
After hesitating for a moment, he chose to cancel the information flow.
“The Law of No Eyes” is very strange, and after choosing a branch, there may be uncontrollable situations.
Therefore, before Ren Qing has figured out the power system of this world, it is really unwise to spend a year on the risk of Shouyuan.
He took out the “Dharma Without Eyes” in his arms.
