When Nasun County Lieutenant, led by Na Yisheng and his colleagues, rushed to Li's Mansion, the place had already been placed under martial law in advance.
The government officials who were coming in and out formed a restricted area with a radius of tens of meters. Only government personnel could enter and exit, and strict inspections and tokens were required.
The most important thing is that Sun County Lieutenant saw the county magistrate who should have returned to his house to rest in the crowd.
This meant that something big must have happened here, and even the county magistrate, who had already gone home, was alerted, and that was how he saw the scene now.
"What's going on here?"
Thinking of Yiseng Yiyi's performance as if he was facing a formidable enemy, Sun Xianwei just realized the seriousness of the matter.
Maybe the monster that broke out of the seal was not as simple as he thought.
This monk came to seek help from him, maybe not just because he wanted the government to help them conquer demons.
Rather than saying that a group of monks wanted to seek help from the government, this was more like a warning.
The appearance of this monk was to warn the government that there was some kind of terrifying monster here that ordinary people could not deal with.
"Lao Zhang! Be on guard with the brothers."
Thinking of this, Captain Sun immediately ordered his men to join the guard team.
But he himself entered the encirclement in a good-natured manner and appeared in the sight of the county magistrate for the first time.
The bosses who were resting at home have already rushed to the scene of the crime. As a subordinate, it would be the biggest dereliction of duty if I could not arrive in time.
But what County Captain Sun never expected was that the next scene would almost leave a lifelong shadow on him.
"this……"
When Sun County Lieutenant rushed to the house in three steps and two steps at a time, the remaining blood stains on Aliao and his servant had not completely dried up.
Those stumps, as if they had been churned by a meat grinder, were emitting a bloody and weird smell, which made Lieutenant Sun, who was used to witnessing murders, stunned.
"vomit……"
Immediately afterwards, Sun Xianwei, whose stomach was churning, started to retch.
The blood in the body has been completely drained, and the remaining corpses are also in pieces. Only some dark brown minced meat is evenly spread on every corner of the ground.
However, this was just what Sun Xianwei saw when he entered the door.
After officially entering the lobby of Li Mansion, the truly tragic scene was revealed in front of him.
First of all, there were the servants who died in the same way as Aliao. Their blood was drained in the same way, and their broken limbs were sprinkled with fleshy foam on the walls and the ground.
Then there was member Li who was killed. His death method can be said to be the most shocking in the entire case.
The blood was also drained inexplicably, but his body was not dismembered, but was nailed to the tree trunk in another way that was similar to "punishment".
Looking from a distance, I could see that the flesh and blood on Mr. Li's back had been cut off alive.
The two broken ribs, including the bones and flesh, were forcibly pulled apart, taking on the appearance of "wings".
As for his lungs, which were originally protected by his ribs?
It was hung directly on the pair of "wings" and became the wings on the pair of "wings". It looked extremely cruel.
Or to be more precise, this brutal and terrifying scene is more like a solemn "ceremony" of religion and revenge than "killing".
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
"What kind of punishment is this? Have you found any relevant records?"
Glancing lightly at Lieutenant Sun who was still retching, the magistrate who looked the youngest but the calmest in the room turned to ask the man next to him.
As the county magistrate of Ningxiang, the young man in front of him was not a native of Tanzhou, but was demoted from Chang'an.
Everyone in the county government only knew that the magistrate's surname was Pei, and he might be a relative of a big shot in Chang'an, but other than that, they didn't know any more detailed information.
However, this does not prevent everyone from admiring the magistrate Pei.
Because most of the time, this County Magistrate Pei can always handle those very difficult cases with ease.
Just like this time, Magistrate Sun was obviously the first to receive the warning and report, but it was Magistrate Pei who was the first to rush to the scene.
"Return to my lord, this..."
Just when Wu Zuo was about to speak but hesitated, Yiseng suddenly appeared at the scene of the crime and suddenly spoke.
"This is the 'Blood Eagle Punishment'!"
His pupils suddenly tightened, and Magistrate Pei instinctively raised his head to look forward. Only then did he notice two inexplicable strangers appearing in the government's security circle.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
"Monster! How dare you be so presumptuous!"
Ignoring Magistrate Pei on the side, the monk stared at the "blood eagle" with splitting eyes, and the hot-tempered Taoist priest began to curse.
He did such a horrifying thing to the former envoy Si Chen.
Let alone a Taoist priest who has experienced it personally, even as an ordinary practitioner, he will never let that monster continue to wreak havoc.
"Bald man, please don't try to persuade me this time. I will definitely kill that guy!"
Without words, the monk just gently turned the rosary beads in his hand and recited the rebirth mantra silently in his heart.
"Lao Li, don't worry, we will avenge you!"
Although he wanted to put down Yuanwai Li's body, the Taoist priest knew very well that keeping the scene as it was now was the best choice.
And he also believed that as a former Si Chen envoy, Li Yuanwai would definitely understand what he was doing now.
"excuse me!"
Pinch the Dao Jue with your hands, step on the Seven Stars with your feet...
The Taoist priest with full spiritual awareness suddenly tapped the center of his eyebrows, and a golden light that only practitioners could see instantly illuminated Li Yuanwai's body.
——Xuanmen Secret Technique·Celestial Eye!
Looking back with his eyes, the Taoist priest seemed to have seen the scene of Li Yuanwai confronting the monster before he was alive, and also saw how the old and strong Si Chenshi was tortured to death by the monster bit by bit.
"snort!"
As if he had personally experienced the "Blood Eagle Punishment", with the pain of broken ribs and the despair of having his lungs ripped out, the Taoist priest felt that his body and mind had been hit harder than ever before.
"Break the enemy's ribs, and then forcefully pull out the lungs protected by the ribs..."
"During this process, in order to prevent the victim from dying in pain, the executioner will also sprinkle some salt and herbs on the wound to prevent them from dying before the end of the criminal law."
His tone was trembling uncontrollably as the Taoist priest described the torture of this behavior, the "Blood Eagle Punishment", while trying to find the clues he wanted from the deceased's lifetime memories.
"This kind of torture was not part of the Tang Dynasty's criminal law, so even if I searched through the entire Tang Dynasty's cases, I couldn't find any similar records."
When he said this, the Taoist priest who tried his best to suppress the anger and pain in his heart pondered for a moment.
"This is a torture from the far west. It is a criminal method used by the foreigners who call themselves 'Varyags' to punish traitors and enemies."
Hearing this, Magistrate Pei seemed to realize something and took over the Taoist priest's words and asked.
"You mean, the executioner is here for revenge?"
The Taoist priest nodded affirmatively, and a flash of memory flashed in his eyes.
"Yes, that bloodthirsty demon has become more powerful than before."
Magistrate Pei shook his head calmly. Magistrate Pei hated the feeling of playing riddles, but facing the monk who might be the only one present who knew the truth, he continued to ask patiently.
"What kind of monster is it? Where is it now?"
Faced with Magistrate Pei's questioning, the Taoist priest had not yet responded, but the monk on the side seemed to notice his impatience and turned around to explain in ventriloquism.
"Sucking blood for living, saw teeth for feeding."
"Sealed for ten years and making a comeback."
The low and hoarse ventriloquism combined with the monk's unique speaking rhythm made everyone present feel stunned.
"A monk? A monk?"
As if he suddenly remembered something, Magistrate Pei's eyes paused on the monk, then the Taoist priest, and finally turned his attention to the corpse that was made into a "blood eagle".
"A swordsman?"
After realizing the identities of these three people, Magistrate Pei, who looked stunned, immediately thought of some of their past achievements.
"If it's you, then this executioner is a 'vampire'?"
