Butcher Zhang wrapped half a pound of pig eyes in oil paper and wiped his hands on his apron before handing it to Ren Qing.
"Ah Qing, I don't need any more money."
"How is that possible? Brother Zhang is out of town."
Ren Qing smiled and refused. He took out some scraps of money and forced them into Butcher Zhang's hand, touching him intentionally or unintentionally.
The amount of information shows that Butcher Zhang still has fifteen years of life left, and he has not mastered any magic. It has nothing to do with the Eyeless Technique.
Ren Qing breathed a sigh of relief, but was a little worried.
He can see from the "Eyeless Method" that the hundred-eyed monk admires the human eye.
I'm afraid that under normal cultivation conditions, once a monk without eyes tries the human eye, he will probably get stuck in it and be unable to extricate himself.
It's very easy to verify. You just need to ask if anyone in Sanxiang City has had his eyes gouged out recently, and you can find out.
It's just that his connections in the yamen are really limited.
Ren Qing found a noodle shop to fill his stomach. Seeing the sky getting dark, he got up and returned to the Yamen.
wisps of white smoke drifted from the courtyard wall of the Fireworks Hall. It seemed that Li Mian and the others had begun to burn a new batch of corpses.
Ren Qing said hello and then entered the side room carrying a bucket of well water.
He first soaked the pig's eyes in well water to remove the blood so that he would not be able to eat them.
Then he sat on the bed, closed his eyes and fell into meditation.
After half a stick of incense.
Ren Qing sighed and opened his eyes. He pinched his temples and remained silent. After a long time, he couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"It seems that taking shortcuts also has disadvantages. It has been difficult to enter the state of cultivation."
Normally, for forty-nine days after swallowing the eyeballs, you will experience darkness all the time, and after that, visualization becomes easier.
Ren Qing is the complete opposite. His mastery of the purposeless method was so short that he couldn't find his direction.
And the more anxious you are, the easier it is to affect your state.
Ren Qing might as well try the life-extending effect of pig eyes first, maybe he can find an opportunity.
He looked at the crystal clear pig eyes through the moonlight coming in from the window, and then after hesitating for a moment, he threw it directly into his mouth, his face turning red.
It took a few breaths for Ren Qing to swallow it with difficulty. There was still a fishy smell in his mouth and he almost vomited it out.
Fortunately, the pig eyes given by Butcher Zhang were relatively fresh and did not cause physical discomfort.
The pig's eyes turned into heat in the belly, and soon spread to all parts of the body, and a feeling of relief came to my heart.
Ren Qing sat down on the spot.
He naturally began to practice the Eyeless Method. The surroundings were once again shrouded in darkness, and rustling sounds came from the corners.
Ren Qing felt that the heat was absorbed by his eyes along the eight extraordinary meridians, causing a slight pain.
But as the practice deepened, the movements in the darkness became more and more obvious, as if someone was whispering in it...
Ren Qing frowned unconsciously, and the familiar footsteps appeared again, slowly approaching him.
Ren Qing was hesitant to end his practice. At this moment, the sound of footsteps came within ten meters.
"Send someone!!!"
There was a knock on the wooden door of the wing, and Li Mian's anxious voice came.
Ren Qing was awakened immediately. The darkness around him faded away like a tide, and his back was covered with cold sweat from practicing.
It seems that the practice of this weird technique must be timed well. If you are immersed in it, uncontrollable things will definitely happen...
He calmed down and shouted to the door: "What's wrong?"
"Send someone, the body is alive!!!"
Ren Qing was shocked. He didn't care about the sweat all over his body. He didn't even have time to check the changes in Shou Yuan after swallowing the pig's eyes. He opened the door and rushed out.
"What body, which one?!!"
"It's the one brought at noon, and there's something wrong with the other corpses..."
Li Mian was so frightened that he could not speak.
The three of them took turns guarding the stove in the first half of the night, which went smoothly, but something went wrong when they were preparing to move the body.
The body of the bookstore owner got up and left the morgue without warning, disappearing into the night in a few steps.
Ren Qing grabbed the lantern from Li Mian's hand and walked quickly to the morgue, while listening to Li Mian's story.
They arrived at the door in a few steps. Li Heng and Xiao Wu quickly backed away after seeing Ren Qing.
As soon as he entered the door, Ren Qing pinched his waist hard with his fingers to stay calm.
The remaining pyrotechnic corpse still had a weird smile, opened its eyes, and looked at the door with inexplicable eyes.
There was originally a shelf in the house to place the body of the bookstore owner, but it is now empty, and the linen wrapping the body is still scattered around.
Ren Qing relied on his eyesight to examine carefully, and he found a series of bloody footprints extending from the morgue to the outside.
If he informs the yamen now, he will have to take responsibility, and he may not be able to serve as a yamen servant, and with his current strength, he cannot protect himself in Sanxiang City.
Ren Qingxin said: "Xiao Wu, you and I are going to find the body. Li Mian and Li Heng are just here to watch. Don't act rashly."
The Li brothers nodded. They stared at the morgue in fear, not daring to show any slightest sign of neglect.
Ren Qing turned to Xiao Wu and asked, "Is it okay?"
Xiao Wu gritted his teeth and replied: "It's okay, Brother Qing."
"Let's go."
Ren Qing followed the blood trail anxiously, but when leaving the yard, he went back into the house and grabbed a few pig eyes.
The two of them turned east and west along the blood trail. The location of the Fireworks Hall was already remote enough, but they didn't expect that the direction pointed by the corpse would be even more remote.
Moist dew fell on their bodies through the leaves, and the cold gradually penetrated their bones.
A tall courtyard wall of six to seven meters comes into view.
"This is the outer wall of the Yamen West District."
"Brother Qing, then..."
Xiao Wu pointed to the corner of the wall, and there was a figure facing the wall motionless, which sent chills down the spine.
Ren Qing stared at the figure and could barely see clearly.
The corpse was badly mutilated, with a few pieces of linen still hanging faintly on the body, and the eyes were lifeless and hollow, with drops of blood and tears flowing down.
"Brother Qing, what should I do?"
Ren Qing plucked up the courage to approach.
He circled the body several times and found nothing strange at all. He pushed it with his arm and fell loosely to the ground.
Ren Qing glanced at the direction the corpse was facing. Could it be that the Hundred-Eyed Man who was hunting in secret caused the corpse to riot?
"Take it back and talk about it later."
Ren Qing stuffed all the pig eyes into his stomach, and the taste made him roll his eyes.
It was so dark that Xiao Wu couldn't see clearly what Ren Qing was eating, but he could only feel the blood on the other side of his mouth.
Pig eyes are digested quickly.
There was heat rising from the top of Ren Qing's head. He and Xiao Wu carried the body one after another, and the two of them followed the original path towards the Pyrotechnics Hall.
Just after walking halfway, the body started to move again.
Xiao Wu's teeth chattered as he reminded: "Brother Qing, the body is on your shoulders."
Ren Qing's back was turned to the corpse, so he didn't notice that the corpse's hands had reached his neck, whether intentionally or not.
His eyes were slightly red, and the fear he encountered while practicing temporarily gave him a big heart.
"Oh shit."
At this time, the sky was slightly bright, and he would probably be discovered if he didn't return to the Fireworks Hall.
