Chapter 80 The oriole catches the cicada, but the mantis follows behind
Ren Qing walked around the temple where the Empress was sent for a few times, but Chong Tong didn't notice anything strange, which meant that there weren't many monks in the temple.
He only saw a few scattered tile-roofed houses. In addition to the main hall, there were side rooms for people to live in. They looked extremely simple.
It can be seen from this that the Yamen strictly controls Taoist temples and Buddhist temples, and it is impossible for a large number of temples to appear.
So much so that Ren Qing became a little suspicious.
Behind the Temple of the Empress Dowager is either a certain jailer or a gang. Temples are one of the ways for power to trap monks.
It was getting late, and there was a clear river across the west of the city, so mosquitoes began to appear.
Ren Qing shook his hand impatiently. Even though the mosquitoes could not bite his skin, the noisy sound kept echoing in his ears.
After finishing the candied haws on hand, he was about to leave the temple fair.
Suddenly, Ren Qing noticed that in addition to mosquitoes, there were also a large number of blowflies nearby, which liked rancid odors the most.
Normally, he wouldn't have cared about it, but since it involved a jailer, he couldn't help but pay more attention.
It would be good if he could earn blood crystals through this. Of course, Ren Qing knew that his own safety was the first priority.
His brows furrowed, and his double pupils were brought into full play, using the dim light of the setting sun to capture the surrounding things.
Something weird...
Ren Qing walked forward for a few meters, but then paused, and then returned to the street as if nothing had happened.
The temple fair was coming to an end, and many residents were walking sparsely toward their homes, and the faint cries of children could be heard.
Ren Qing randomly found a stall selling wontons.
The stall owner was about to pack his things when he saw Ren Qing sitting down and quickly started boiling water.
Within a moment, the wontons were placed on the table.
Ren Qing picked up the chopsticks and tasted the wontons with a slightly slow movement, and a light flashed across his eyebrows, which was a sign of the separation of body and soul.
The stall owner shuddered and felt his hair standing on end.
Ren Qing's Eyeless Method is almost the same as the bottleneck, and the use of body and soul separation is also more flexible, although it is still not able to do whatever he wants.
The soul did not jump out of the body, it just followed the heavy eyes to sense the surroundings.
The rustling sounds on the street gradually disappeared, and my mind seemed to be in mid-air, although it only lasted for a few breaths.
Ren Qing's face turned pale, and a large amount of energy and blood was concentrated in the place where the crowd gathered, which was indeed extremely lethal to the soul.
Even though he was not completely separated at all, he still had lingering fears.
Ren Qing confirmed that the anomalies discovered previously were not undue worries and were not dangerous.
In fact, it was a corpse with a strange death shape that attracted some troublesome flies.
After he paid for the wontons, he walked slowly towards the temple fair.
A towering tree stood in a corner where no one passed by. It was obviously summer, but the branches were all withered and yellow, and the leaves fell all over the ground.
A large Miao knife was drilled out of the palm of Ren Qing's right hand.
The blade was scraped, and black blood flowed out from the gap. From it, one could see a putrid corpse stuffed inside the tree trunk. It had been dead for at least several days.
What made Ren Qing deeply afraid was that the chest and abdomen of the corpse had been hollowed out, and the skin surface was covered with scratches of various sizes.
Almost identical to the slime-killing Skaven.
However, the corpse inside the tree trunk was not that of a monk. There was no trace of flesh and blood alienation at all. The chest and abdomen were opened as if he were looking for something strange.
Several rats gnawed at the flesh and blood of the corpse until their fur became shiny.
Ren Qing noticed that there were signs of stirring in the soil at the roots of the ancient tree, and immediately reacted.
The sound of bones colliding sounded.
The dragon-snake spine extended out from Yi's mouth, like a spear piercing directly into the ground, and the hard soil seemed to be nothing.
Ren Qing closed his eyes and controlled his natal magic weapon to explore it.
When the dragon-snake spine was raised, there was a palm-sized scale at the end, which was obviously from the lizard-like monk.
land……
Ren Qing thought for a long time, how could the land be targeting the Temple of the Empress Dowager? Is it possible that there is something mysterious about Xia Cao Jue that is worthy of his action?
But it was ordinary people who were attacked by the land. Maybe it was a trap?
It was already dark by now.
The temple fair was almost over, and the stalls began to leave gradually.
Ren Qing found Zhu Ding's figure, and he reached out to catch him as soon as he came out of the temple.
"It saves me a trip."
"Go to Secretary Zhao in the Yamen and tell him that I asked him to contact the jailer. Go and come back quickly."
Zhu Ding's expression was filled with surprise and uncertainty. If the jailer was involved, wouldn't it be related to the strange things he encountered in Tuofeng Mountain?
He ran away quickly, and the journey from the temple fair to the Yamen took less than half the time.
Within a moment, more than a dozen policemen blocked the entrance and exit to the temple fair.
Ren Qing chose to stand on the eaves next to the tree to enjoy the wind. When the jailer approached, he suddenly felt several figures behind him.
Unexpectedly, only ordinary people lost their lives, and five guards came, including Jiang Feng and Zhu Luo Niang from the Sui Zi Niang Niang Temple.
When Jiang Feng saw that it was Ren Qing, the two of them nodded to each other calmly.
The leading jailer was about fifty years old, and his neck was several times thicker than that of an ordinary person. The same was true for his head, which looked extremely weird.
They did not ask Ren Qing and walked towards the towering ancient tree in silence.
Only Luo Niang was hesitant to speak, but in the end she wisely closed her mouth.
When everyone came to the ancient tree, the bark of the tree was roughly peeled off by Jiang Feng, and the corpse was revealed. The clothes she wore were similar to Luo Niang's, and she was from the temple of the Empress Dowager.
"He is already the third person in the temple..."
Luo Niang's expression looked a little solemn. She didn't know what the murderer's intention was.
The other jailers didn't reply, and their faces were more indifferent, as if they had expected the appearance of the corpse.
The body was quickly taken away by the firemen sent by the Yamen, and the blood stains were cleaned up.
The jailers left one after another.
Seeing this, Ren Qing hesitated to speak. Isn't there a blood crystal reward for providing clues?!!
Just when he looked disappointed, Jiang Feng slowed down half a step and threw out a blood crystal with a bright color.
Ren Qing quickly continued and weighed it with the palm of his hand. He found that it was at least about two stones.
Jiang Feng smiled and said: "I'm leaving. Don't pay attention to this matter. If there are any tasks, Mingya will notify you."
He turned around and disappeared into the night, while Ren Qing behind him frowned.
The jailer's attitude towards the land was very subtle.
The situation in the land of justice was different from that of Song Rong. The latter only killed ordinary people, so the jailer's hall did not pay much attention at that time.
But the land has killed several monks, including those in the half-corpse realm.
Ren Qing felt that it was impossible to find the other party using the methods used by the prison.
Unless... you don't dare to take action on the land.
There are more than one kind of strange objects on the land. If a restricted area is formed, it will probably be more difficult than a disaster relief restricted area.
Therefore, the Jailer Hall uses Xia Cao Jue to lure the land to achieve a certain purpose. It can be seen that there is definitely something special about this technique.
The police officers gradually withdrew.
After Ren Qing returned to the Fire Engineering Hall, he kept thinking about whether to intervene.
The differentiation of summer grass involves pathogenic bacteria. It is clean and stain-free. Maybe there are clues to extending life?
There is no need to worry about dead people or meat. In an era when this kind of magic represents productivity, anything is possible.
