The Inquisition located behind Westminster Church is one of the seven inquisitions in Dunling that is rarely used. However, it is heavily guarded and has many demon hunters and paladins gathered here.
Jin Shanfeng followed Yin Xiu and the others with the body of the Red Emperor wrapped in a piece of canvas on his back, without any intention of escaping.
Because even if he could escape, among the remaining two people, Liu Rushi might have a better chance of escaping than him because of his nimble body and light hands and feet, but A Fei was definitely dead.
They originally did a series of things just to save A Fei, but now they have reversed the whole story by escaping.
So he just followed Yin Xiu to the door of the court without saying a word.
Several people stood in front of the door, waiting for the gatekeeper to open the door.
Yin Xiu suddenly put her 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. She just released wisps of golden light that they couldn't see on her hand to treat A Fei's injuries.
Although Ah Fei couldn't see the golden light, he felt that his body and complexion were recovering rapidly.
"Is this Taoism?" he asked doubtfully.
"So be it."
"Why save me?"
"Why should I save you?"
Yin Xiu shook his head, "I just have something to ask. If I don't help you with treatment, you obviously won't be able to wait until I can ask questions."
"That's just a small injury." A Fei said reluctantly.
"Small injury?"
Yin Xiu sneered, "Whenever I strike, there are never any minor injuries. Do you think it's just bleeding? In fact, your meridians have been damaged. You will die in less than a day, and your death will be ugly."
Ah Fei was very reluctant, "How can there be a so-called good death?"
"Where is it not?"
Luo Wei replied: "Although it is not necessarily easy to see where to go after death, there are indeed better ways to die, which are much better than poisoning or hanging."
"What is it?"
Luo Wei glanced at him, "What are you doing? Do you want to commit suicide?"
"Maybe it will come in handy one day?"
Ah Fei didn't take it seriously, but just after he finished speaking, Luo Wei hit his head with a chestnut, causing him to squat down in pain.
"Are you going to be tortured to extract a confession so soon?" he screamed.
However, Luo Wei was very serious.
"You think it's cool? Let me tell you, a man will die at some point. It's not from illness, from being hit by a car when you go out, or from a flowerpot falling from the balcony and killing you. There's nothing you can do about it. < br>
As for being killed, it's probably not a shameful thing, because you can't beat others, that's all.
But it would be really embarrassing if you had suicidal thoughts.
Do you think that committing suicide is fulfilling your duty and proving your courage? But let me tell you, the simplest thing in the world is to commit suicide. This is something only cowards do. ”
"Those who commit suicide cannot go to heaven." Card Xiu also agreed.
"It's just a joke. It's just a joke." Ah Fei was about to burst into tears.
"Are you kidding the brave detective?"
Yin Xiu shook her 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 priest. Liu Rushi was wearing thin clothes and could not help but shrink his neck.
Here, there are also two priests 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 cold face and clear lines.
"This is Miss Dorothy, the Administrator of the Inquisition and the Investigator of the Inquisition."
Cardiff's hand pointed to the man again, "As for this, Silver Wilson, since Jack the Ripper escaped from Dunling, he has inherited the title, the Ripper of Dunling."
"Archbishop, you seem to be talking about me as a heinous person."
Xi Fo waved to Yin Xiu, "Jack the Ripper, that scumbag, only dealt with women and children. I'm different. I treat everyone equally."
He patted the iron frame bed next to him, "But this is a joke. I hope Jack the Ripper can lie here one day and let him try the feeling of being cut open."
"Probably he won't have this chance."
Yin Xiu spread her hands, "But I believe you can't put a living person on it to dissect."
"Oh?"
Xiver showed two rows of teeth that were a little yellowed due to frequent tea drinking, "Why do you think so? Is there any basis for it?"
"It's not based on any basis, it's just a feeling. I feel that anyone who can work here will not be too bad."
"That's not necessarily the case."
Xifo was noncommittal and helped Jin Shanfeng put the body on his shoulders onto the iron frame bed.
"With the packaging like this, you couldn't have brought a mummy from the museum, right?" Silver said with a smile.
"At times like this, you should be more serious, Silver."
Dorothy adjusted her glasses and picked up a new notebook, ready to start taking notes.
"I know, rigorous, serious, strict."
Seaver took out a set of tools from one side, which were all shiny and polished, including long and short knives, large and small saws, scissors, axes and hammers.
There are a dozen pieces in total, and they all seem to have been carefully cared for and maintained.
Silver broke 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.
Yin Xiu pointed to the mask, "face."
"Face?"
Xiver found it a little funny. These people came all the way to carry the body, not to see what was inside the body, but to see the face under the mask that could be seen with just a lift of their hands.
Isn't this equivalent to chasing a girl for several years, and finally entering the bridal chamber just to look at her feet?
But the moment he lifted the mask, Xiver's smile froze.
What a face it was, as if all the bumps and depressions had been smoothed away.
The nose was gouged and the cheekbones were smoothed, making the face look like a smoothed plate.
There was not a single birthmark, not even a mole, and the age and characteristics of the corpse could not be discerned from the almost smooth, poreless skin.
Is this really a human corpse?
However, the corpses of vampires or werewolves that become humans after death do not look like this either.
What puzzled him even more was that the eyes of the corpse were covered with a piece of yellow silk cloth, which was covered with talismans and seals drawn with cinnabar.
"What on earth is this?" Silver exclaimed.
"It's [Kunlun Rikishi]."
Yin Xiu, Luo Wei and Kaxiu were standing far away, covering their noses and eyes. They didn't come closer until they confirmed that there was nothing unusual on Xi Fo's side.
"[Kunlun Rikishi]? What is that?" Xifo obviously didn't understand at all. "Please let me come closer."
Yin Xiu also took out a pair of gloves from one side and put it 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 it on both sides of the cheeks, and a black ball the size of an egg fell from the mouth of the corpse. Vomited out.
"Is this the [Corpse-fixing Bead]?" Luo Wei asked.
"It seems that you had a lot of tea with Uncle Ming while I was away."
Yin Xiu turned the bead over and found that the other side of the bead also had the Bagua pattern, which was probably the symbol of the Laoshan sect.
"What is a Kunlun Rikishi? A special type of person," Silver asked again.
"The Kunlun warriors are actually not human beings.
You may have heard that some Eastern Taoist priests and gods often have several children with them, including boys and girls.
These people are called Taoists, they don't know magic, and they usually don't come to help during fights.
The Taoist boy's job is to assist the Taoist priest in his daily life, such as cleaning the courtyard, taking care of the food, watching the fire when making alchemy, and keeping vigil at night. You can think of him as the Taoist priest's servant.
There are many people who serve Taoist priests like this. In addition to Taoist boys, there are also believers.
Some of these people rely on Taoist priests to survive, while others hope that they have helped the Taoist priests, whether with money or effort. One day, when he attains Taoism and ascends, he himself will also be able to ascend due to this merit and karma.
Kunlun Lishi is the third type of person, or Lishi, who is responsible for walking for Taoist priests outside.
Some of these people volunteered, while others were caught by those evil Taoist priests and refined into this appearance.
There is basically no self-awareness, and there is no sense of pain or hunger. They are another identity, or puppet, of the Taoist priest walking in the world.
The Taoist priest can control the Kunlun warrior through some kind of magic, making him seem to have an independent personality and full strength. The guy we see in front of us is a puppet, not a living person. ”
After listening to Yin Xiu's explanation, Xifo took a deep breath.
"I used to think that the East was a rich place full of gold. But now that you say it, I think it is very mysterious."
"I thought you meant it was far away."
Yin Xiu had determined at this time 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, let alone the so-called Dragon Emperor's son controller.
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 that time, thinking that the Red Emperor should have used some kind of escape technique to escape.
Now it seems that this is a kind of magic that is even weirder than escape. In other words, someone behind the Red Emperor used an evil spell.
He reached out and untied the silk cloth tied around the eyes of the corpse. Yin Xiu could understand most of the talismans and seals drawn on it, but they were not clues.
After taking off the silk cloth, as he expected, Kunlun Lux's two empty eye holes were exposed, pointing straight at the ceiling.
One of the requirements for making Kunlun Rikishi is to dig out the seven orifices of the person being made, and then implant a spiritual talisman in them.
Yin Xiu's hand touched an inch below the body and gestured to Xifo: "Please help me operate here, and it will go down about three inches."
"Okay, three inches, right?"
After confirming with Yin Xiu, Xifo turned around and picked out a knife from a pile of tools.
With a single stroke, there was a gash in the body.
Xifo has dissected more corpses than he has eaten fish, so after making a precise incision, he took out the tweezers and gently probed in according to the approximate direction and distance Yin Xiu said. Stir a few times.
"There's something stuck under there, three inches away."
Yin Xiu was not surprised, "Would you mind reaching down with your hand and taking it out?"
"I don't mind, but I have to say, my tweezers are more flexible than my hands, and they won't damage the body."
Silver turned around and pulled out a smaller pair of tweezers with tips that looked like nail clippers.
After Dorothy pulled the searchlight closer, Silver reached down with the tweezers. After turning them twice, he moved his fingers and picked out something.
It was a cylinder wrapped in cloth with a red thread tied to it.
"Is this what you're looking for?"
Xifo did not intend to open it himself, but handed it to Yin Xiu.
"Thank you."
Yin Xiu took the cylinder and removed the outer cloth, revealing a small bamboo tube inside.
He poured it into his hand, and a piece of red talisman paper rolled into a cylinder fell into his hand.
Just as Yin Xiu thought, it was the magic talisman.
Xuanzhen Cave is extremely steep, and you can walk along the cliff.
When the chicken goes under the clouds, it holds its eggs, and when it goes out to the sea, the clam returns its pearl.
There is a bright mirror in the middle, and the sun and moon symbols are always hung.
Sanfeng left the formula, the jade rabbit raised the golden crow.
"The Laoshan sect is really evil." Luo Wei sighed.
"The evil ones are not the sect, but the people."
Yin Xiu put the talisman aside and asked Jin Shanfeng and the others who were already stunned.
"When you came into contact with the Red Emperor before, you didn't feel anything was wrong?"
"Something's wrong?"
Jin Shanfeng shook his head, "Actually, due to work and tasks, we need to recover the body 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 other words," Luo Wei touched his chin, "In fact, the reason why the Red Emperor asked them to recover the body was to prevent others from knowing. Could this matter be related to the Taoist priests of Laoshan?"
"It can only be like this."
Yin Xiu thought for a while and asked Jin Shanfeng again.
"Besides Hongdi, 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 with guillotines before, could it be them?"
"No."
Yin Xiu shook his head, "Even if it's them, it doesn't matter anymore, and they don't have that ability."
After saying that, 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 actually hiding among the three of them, right?" Luo Wei whispered.
"Of course I have such doubts."
Yin Xiu whispered: "Although Kunlun warriors can walk in the world on behalf of Taoist priests, in fact, the distance they can sense and control is not that far. Even if the Taoist priests have great magical powers, there must be a mediator or relay role. Right next to Kunlun Rikishi.”
"I suspect that even if they are not Taoist priests, there is probably a Taoist priest among them."
At this moment, A Fei suddenly remembered something.
"That ballet dancer, that ballet dancer, she is also from the Tang Dynasty!" (End of Chapter)
