Chapter 35 Burning Corpse Hall

Just over an hour after leaving the city, Qin He returned to the city again.

Although I have seen prison in shadow puppet shows, it is not as real as experiencing it in person.

For hundreds of years since the founding of the Li Dynasty, countless lives have been lost here.

There are corrupt officials, there are loyal ministers who can generals, and there are people who are fighting against the common people. As for which type of people is more numerous, no one can tell.

The so-called imperial prison is a prison where the emperor directly arrests and arrests people under the imperial edict. This bypasses the three judicial departments and can directly interrogate suspected persons.

At the beginning, it was just a private inquiry room set up by the emperor to improve judicial efficiency.

There are edicts for arraignment, but no edicts are left idle.

However, as time went by, the imperial edict gradually became a permanent institution. Without the emperor issuing an edict, Feiyuwei could fabricate evidence to arrest ministers and people at will. After being imprisoned, he would be beaten to make "ironclad evidence", and the result would be two ways. If you refuse,

Those who "confess" are tortured to death, and those who are willing to "confess" are executed in the execution ground.

Later, the imperial edict became more and more independent of the emperor and became a tool for the eunuchs to carry out terror and intimidation.

Qin He went in with his face covered. He turned left and right and walked for a full quarter of an hour. Then he obviously walked underground and walked for a long time.

When the mask was removed, the corpse cremation hall had already arrived.

Across the Qinhe River is a huge stone gate.

Next to him were five cremators wearing coarse linen clothes like Qin He's, all of whom were recruited.

"Rumble..."

The stone door slowly opened, revealing a deep corridor that resembled a tomb passage.

"Go in, there will be someone inside who will assign you work. If you want to get out alive, your hands and feet must be diligent, your ears must be deaf, your eyes must be bright, and your mouth must be tight." Chang Wen said, turned around and left. Looking at the back, he seemed a little agitated.

In a hurry.

The cremators looked at each other, then looked at you. Finally, they looked deep into the corridor. There were dim flames hanging on the walls, and there was light flickering at the end.

I walked inside timidly, a little scared, but also a little curious.

Unlike their uneasiness, Qin He was much calmer.

Because Anbagu had been here before, even though the spots on the walls had been cleaned, there were still black stains that were difficult to completely cover up. They were dried blood stains.

Looking up, the top of the corridor is pitch black.

But Qin He knew that it was not the top, but the bottom of a huge rock.

Once a critical situation occurs, this huge boulder will crash down and become an extremely thick stone gate, isolating the inside and outside of the cremation hall.

Ambago almost would have been trapped inside, if it weren't for his extraordinary speed.

The end of the corridor is getting closer and closer, the firelight is getting brighter and brighter, turning the corner, a river of flames comes from nowhere, passing under the crematoriums.

Unlike the crematorium outside, the crematorium here does not close or lock the door. Strictly speaking, there is no door at all.

All the crematoriums have corpse suppressing charms posted on them, and more than twenty cremators are busy cleaning the corpses, sewing the corpses, carrying the corpses to the furnace, cleaning the furnace, and shoveling the ashes. What they do is basically the same as the cremator.

The only difference is that there is no need to blow air, you only need to open the lid under the crematorium, and fire will come out from below.

Qin He recognized it, it was earth fire.

The fierce fire from the underground dragon veins is extremely yang and strong, and is an ideal fire source for incineration of murderous corpses.

In the middle of the cremation hall, there is a seven-pillar palace lantern that is emitting a faint bright white light and rotating slowly.

This made Qin He's eyes light up slightly.

The soul-capturing lantern ranks seventh among the nine corpse-killing tools.

Human beings have three souls and seven souls, three souls govern the spirit, and seven souls govern the body.

After death, the soul disperses, the soul goes to the underworld, and the soul dissipates in the world.

If the soul lingers, it is a supernatural event; if the soul does not dissipate, it is a corpse transformation.

The soul-capturing lamp can capture the remaining souls in the corpse, thereby achieving the effect of suppressing the corpse.

It can be called a magical tool in killing corpses.

Even though it is only ranked seventh, in fact it is the highest-level object that can be produced in the corpse-suppressing industry, because the eighth corpse-suppressing pill and the ninth rebirth seal only exist in legends.

Even the skills of Qin He's Nine Corpse Suppression Weapons did not record their detailed production methods.

Qin He's eyes flashed.

Qi gazing technique.

In an instant, countless souls lingered around the lamp, like moths flying into the flames, and the fuel for this lamp was souls.

With the Soul Capture Lantern around, it would be impossible for an ordinary vicious corpse to be lifted up.

Even if it is a corpse, it will be suppressed by the soul-stirring lamp and become sluggish.

Looking at this crematorium again, the air of death and bad luck is lingering. Compared to the corpse cremation in the east of the city, it is clearer only when the corpse suppressing charms and soul-catching lamps are posted.

Besides that, there are people.

All the corpse-burning officials wore a string of copper coins hanging on their bodies. The copper coins emitted a yellowish light, driving away the energy of death and bad luck one foot away from their bodies.

Moreover, each of them has various faint lights on their shoulders and top of their heads.

That is a phenomenon that occurs only to people with special fate and luck.

There is no doubt that the "hardware" and people here are top-notch.

It is indeed the corpse-burning hall under the Feiyu Guards.

At the same time, Qin He discovered again.

There is an extremely heavy iron door on one side of the corpse-burning hall, and wisps of extremely rich death energy are overflowing intermittently from inside, and pouring into an inconspicuous clay pot in the corner.

The thread of death energy was as thin as a hair, hidden in the darkness. If Qin He didn't possess both night vision and qi-gazing skills, it would have been impossible to detect it.

There seems to be great danger behind the heavy iron door, and something is being planned.

In just a few breaths, Qin He roughly figured out the secrets of the corpse-burning hall through the technique of qi-gazing.

After withdrawing the qi-gazing technique, everything returned to its original state, even the copper coins used by the corpse burner to protect his body became simple and unpretentious.

"What a bunch of idiots. After a long day of work, they just sent these pickled corpses to the grave on white linen paper. What a fool!" A corpse-burning officer with a sinister face and only one eye left fiercely threw the fire hook in his hand.

On the ground.

Even if Qin He didn't use Zhanzhan Qi Technique, he could still feel the surprisingly strong evil energy on his body.

He is the leader of this group of cremators, because the number of these copper coins for the cremator's body protection is about three or four, and only he has the most, seven in a string.

When strangers travel around the world, they often use some special marks to represent their identity.

Such as the copper coins on a Taoist priest's body or the magic ring on a monk's walking stick.

These signs are all established by convention. If they are exceeded, Taoists and Buddhas all over the world will attack them.

What is very different from the world I came from is that the Taoist priests and monks in this world are quite fierce, fighting demons and ghosts, and have explosive tempers. They will draw swords to cut them if they disagree, but no one dares to pretend to be them and cheat.

In contrast, the composition of Jianghu knight-errants is the most chaotic. They are all from the upper and lower realms, and they are all mud and sand.

This is off topic.

Returning to the corpse-burning official, the practice of burning corpses originated from Taoism. Although it was later mixed with hundreds of schools of thought, it still followed Taoist customs and used the amount of copper coins to represent status.

"Wei Wu, give the seven unjust ghosts to them to practice first."

The one-eyed cremator gave another order, took off the dirty apron around his body, and threw it hard on the corpse cleansing table.

The sudden loss of a group of cremators caused him considerable losses. Corpses were piled everywhere in the crematorium.

"Yes, Master."

A young man with a long face agreed, put down the bucket and shovel in his hand, and walked towards Qin He and the others. He looked at everyone first, and then said: "I will arrange your tasks in the next few days, and I will do the same work as you are burning corpses."

It’s pretty much the same, I’m mainly responsible for some less ferocious corpses, do it well, and if you perform well, you’ll be rewarded after the task is completed.”

After saying that, each of the six people in Qinhe was assigned a crematorium, and he also designated the body of the practitioner. He also explained some precautions for starting a fire, and left again. At the end, he lost a sentence: "There is no way to the crematorium.

You can run away after picking up the body, and someone will come and clean it up."

The six corpse cremators looked at each other again. Remembering Chang Baihu's warning, they did not dare to speak. They all walked towards the place designated by Wei Wu for the corpse to be parked.

When the shroud was lifted, it turned out to be seven decapitated corpses.
