Chapter 5 Living Human Skin

Ren Qing felt the blood rush to his head.

He let go and threw the body to the ground, then put his foot against the armpit of the body, grabbed its arm and twisted it hard.

Click.

The sound of dislocated bones was heard, and Ren Qing forcibly removed the joints of the corpse.

"Walk."

Xiao Wu's scalp was numb, but the fear in his heart was relieved a lot.

But he felt that there was a chilling resentment in the corpse's empty eyes...

The two speeded up a lot, and nothing strange happened next.

By the time we returned to the Fireworks Hall, it was already getting close to dawn.

Ren Qing couldn't help but fell to the ground and gasped. After all, his body was still weak and he was hanging on due to the heat emanating from the pig's eyes.

He only rested for a moment before he got up from the ground, then dragged the body three steps and two steps to the stove.

"What's the matter, send someone?"

Li Mian and the other three hurriedly followed. They saw Ren Qing open the stove door. It had not been cleaned for several days, and the smoke and dust raised by the ashes suddenly spread out.

"If you start a fire and burn the furnace, you can't keep this body."

"good."

Ren Qing stuffed the shopkeeper's body into it, filled it with firewood, and closed the furnace door.

Because Xiao Wu was nervous, his hands were shaking so much that it took a long time to light the firewood.

As the flames rise, the temperature next to the stove gradually increases.

They were relieved and wiped the sweat from their foreheads at the same time.

Not long after, a crackling sound came from the stove. This was caused by the fat of the corpse being melted by the high temperature of the flame.

"The four of us have been working harder these days, taking turns to rest and clean up the corpses in the morgue."

Ren Qing thought of the blood stains shed by the corpse. Although the path was relatively remote, it was better to cover it up just in case.

"You watch by the fire, and remember to keep an eye on the morgue."

Thinking of this, he relied on the heat from the pig's eyes to support himself and walked outside.

Suddenly, there was a knocking sound from the stove and a faint scream, which made people shudder.

Ren Qing hesitated for a few moments, then turned and left after noticing that the movement had disappeared.

etc……

He suddenly realized something very absurd. Could it be that the bookstore owner was still alive and had been hanged by Wu Mufa?

No, the information stream is not responding. It seems that he is definitely dead.

Ren Qing no longer hesitated, after all, the bodies had been reduced to ashes with the flames.

He carefully followed the blood stains and covered the traces with sand.

Anyway, most people will pass by the outer wall of the yamen, so it doesn’t look strange from a distance, and there is no need to be too careful.

Ren Qing took the opportunity to check his own information flow.

【Ren Qing】

[Age: seventeen]

[Shouyuan: five years and eighty-five days]

[Skill: Eyeless Method]

Although it only lasted two or three days, Ren Qing was still very satisfied.

The life-extending effect of eating raw pig eyes should be subtle, otherwise the hundred-eyed monk would not be unaware of it.

He only needs to compare the information flow while eating pig eyes to figure out the speed of increasing his lifespan, and then he can know how to take it for the best effect.

Having temporarily solved the problem of longevity, mastering the second technique has to be put on the agenda.

The Eyeless Method is indeed very suitable for Ren Qing, but it is still a bit too reluctant to use it to face strange things.

Is it possible to consider the "Shenping Sutra"?

But those beggars are probably controlled by a certain force in the west of the city. With Ren Qing's current strength, the risk is too great.

It took less than half an hour for Ren Qing to arrive near the outer wall, just as he was preparing to return the same way.

Suddenly, he was keenly aware of the terrifying aura, as if he was being targeted by a predatory beast.

Ren Qing was just hunched over, and quickly fell to the ground, then looked around with his peripheral vision.

There was a tall figure in the distance walking towards the East District of Yamen.

The man was wearing light armor, a bamboo hat on his head, and a long sword more than three feet long at his waist. He seemed to be holding a bloody leather object in his hand.

Ren Qing's eyes first stopped at the token hanging at the end of the scabbard, and saw the word "forbidden" with dancing dragons and phoenixes engraved on it.

Jailer...

This was Ren Qing's first encounter with a jailer. He had never been contacted by anyone before, whether he went to the scene to dispose of the corpse or was in the yamen.

He even suspected that the reason why the Yamen was divided into four areas, leaving the jailer's hall in the center, was because of the jailer.

Ren Qing looked at the leather object in the jailer's hand again, and his eyes became sore from concentrating.

The leather object was constantly dripping with blood, and was squirming like a living creature. It tried to break free from the restraints of the jailer, but unfortunately it was tightly held.

Ren Qing opened his mouth in disbelief. Why did it look more and more like human skin?

Living human skin?!!

It is indeed a strange world.

After the jailer disappeared, Ren Qing continued to lie down for a long time before returning to the Fireworks Hall with his exhausted body.

For the next two days, the stove never stopped burning.

When the last three pyrotechnic corpses were reduced to ashes, a thick layer of ashes had accumulated in the furnace, along with some bone fragments.

The ashes were taken away by Zaoli, and he didn't know what the Yamen was going to do.

During this period, the west part of the city seemed relatively peaceful, and no one died in the streets.

But in other yamen areas, you can see pyrotechnics carrying corpses coming in and out every day.

According to the information Ren Qing learned, more than a dozen people died in the east of the city, and the corpses were all headless and in a kneeling posture.

He felt that it was the work of the Hundred-Eyed Man.

If Ren Qing were the one with hundreds of eyes, he would have deliberately avoided the west side of the city when committing the crime, and then cut off the head to confuse the public so as not to be discovered missing the human eyes.

By acting like this, I'm afraid I thought that the "Wumu Dharma" fell into the hands of the Yamen, but I didn't know that Ren Qing took advantage of it.

Ren Qing has to take care of the stove and explore the path of spiritual practice these days, so the frequency of going to the butcher shop has been greatly reduced.

In addition to inquiring about Wu Mufa's news, he noticed that there seemed to be some unrest in the Yamen, but he didn't have time to pay attention to it.

The rewards of retreat are naturally abundant.

Ren Qing has been able to freely enter the state of contemplating the goalless method, but the time is controlled by him within an hour.

If it lasts for more than an hour, the darkness in the eyes will become terrifying and inexplicable, and the desire to dig out the eyes will arise.

Ren Qing also discovered the rule of eating raw pig eyes to increase longevity. It is most appropriate to swallow one pig eye every three hours or so.

In this way, his life span can be increased by four to five days every day.

The progress is a bit slow, but at least there is no need to worry about the end of life.

Now Ren Qing no longer looked sick, and his energy and blood seemed much fuller.

It was Xiao Wu and the other three who looked at him in an increasingly weird way.

What a weird habit it is to eat pig eyes raw, and eat them several times a day...

After Ren Qing finished studying the Wumu method, he just thought about going to the martial arts field in the Yamen. Even if he couldn't find any clues about the method, he might as well learn some external skills for self-defense.

But suddenly trouble came to the door.
