Ren Qing stayed in the Fire Engineering Hall for a full seven days before going out for a walk.
Occasionally, there were a few corpses that died tragically, but they were handed over to the Li brothers and Xiao Wu, and the three of them were able to handle them with ease.
Ren Qing's main purpose is to find out the cultivation method of human skin books.
Unlike the blind method of visualization, human skin books require stimulation from external objects. The simplest way is to beat the body.
If a special medicated bath can be prepared, it should be miraculous.
Of course, the human skin book must have a more bizarre way to practice, and Ren Qing would naturally not try it by peeling off the skin.
At the same time, he was secretly thinking about being promoted to a double-eyed person, although he was already prepared to spend another year of his life.
But for such a weird power system, I am still a little wary.
Ren Qing thought of what Song Zongwu said intentionally or unintentionally in the cell, and decided to test his guess.
He made some preparations, such as hiding a short knife at his waist or taking a few pig eyes with him, and then went to the martial arts field.
Ren Qing originally planned to take Xiao Wu with him, but many places in the Yamen were inaccessible to Bai Yi, including the martial arts field.
The martial arts performance field is shared by the four districts of southeast, northwest and northwest and covers a huge area.
From a distance, Ren Qing could see a large number of police officers wielding swords and guns, and the onlookers cheered.
His appearance made the detectives couldn't help but look sideways. After all, pyrotechnics slaves rarely come here.
But I soon stopped paying attention.
The attention of the detectives was directed to the two men competing in the open space.
The two of them held blunt-edged wooden swords and crossed each other. They turned and moved with great precision, performing both offensive and defensive swordsmanship.
Ren Qing took a few glances and felt bored.
These two people obviously had no intention of killing. If they were to fight for their lives, a few moves would determine the outcome.
Ren Qing walked towards the martial arts building next to the martial arts field. It contains many martial arts for body polishing, but only government officials can learn them.
Ren Qing opened the door, and the rancid smell of damp books hit his face.
He couldn't help but cough a few times, and the people in the room cast dissatisfied looks at him.
Looking around, Ren Qing was a little disappointed with the so-called martial arts secret books. They looked no different from ordinary bookstores.
There are three rows of bookshelves scattered here and there. The books on them are extremely old and some are even damaged.
Ren Qing picked up a book at random, with "Qingfeng Sword Technique" written clearly on the cover.
After simply flipping through a few pages, he could only describe it as ordinary. The description of the techniques of the moves was very detailed, but it was not at all the kind of internal and external martial arts he imagined.
Ren Qing summoned the information flow without high hopes, but the result was unexpected.
[Qingfeng Sword Technique (Disabled)]
[Created by Taoist Master Qingfeng, it contains a total of thirty-six postures. It is famous for its speed and stability. After practicing internal strength, the sword will be more agile. 】
[The Qingfeng Sword Technique lacks the inner strength chapter and cannot be mastered by spending longevity]
Ren Qing's muscles all over his body were slightly tense. He picked up the secret books one after another without believing in evil, and the results were almost the same.
The secret books in the martial arts building are all marked with (disabled). Did the Yamen deliberately delete the martial arts?
Ren Qing squinted his eyes and thought about what this meant.
There is a huge difference in style between martial arts and techniques. According to normal logic, shouldn't the martial arts that are popularized be physical strengthening?
It would be inappropriate to say that the Weird Style Kung Fu can lead to immortality and Taoism.
Even Song Zongwu only had the upper limit of his lifespan of more than three hundred years. Compared with the risks paid, the increase in lifespan was too little.
And there are a few people who can die a healthy life.
Ren Qing pinched his temples with a headache. He always felt as if he had accidentally come into contact with the strange truth of this world.
Unfortunately, I still have no clue.
Ren Qing calmed down. This was not what Song Zong wanted him to see. After all, no other person knew about the information flow.
Ren Qing patiently flipped through the secret books one by one according to the order in which they were arranged on the bookshelf. After seeing the information flow prompt, he put them back on the bookshelf.
His behavior was slightly weird, which naturally made the other detectives in the room even more dissatisfied.
But no police officer came forward to warn him. Ren Qing took a thick book and walked to the corner to read quietly.
The book is called "Travel Notes on Thatched Cottage", and it tells some absurd legends about ghosts and gods, but the story is a bit boring.
Ren Qing searched around and found that this book was not a secret book of martial arts.
He carefully read every line of text, and several hours had passed without realizing it.
When the evening sun shone in through the window, Ren Qing raised his head, and Gu Bo's calm face showed a hint of surprise.
The content of "Travel Notes in the Caotang" suddenly changed around the hundredth page, and it began to use myths and legends as metaphors for weirdness and monks.
From this, Ren Qing learned about the realm of cultivation, which consists of warriors, half-dead bodies, ghosts, yin messengers, yang gods, and celestial beings.
After mastering the technique like this, his body gradually undergoes alienation but has not yet transformed into a mortal, and he is in the realm of a "martial man".
When the first alienation is completed, it reaches "half-corpse".
And different techniques have very different directions of alienation.
There are three types of eyeless techniques: "hundred-eyed person", "one-eyed person" and "double-eyed person", not to mention other magic techniques.
"Travel Notes in the Thatched Cottage" also explains the question that Ren Qing has been wondering about for a long time.
"If you want to practice weird magic, you usually have to pay a huge price. With such a high threshold, isn't there a shortcut?"
In fact, there is indeed a shortcut, and the shortcut lies in the warrior realm.
Monks will give birth to strange objects after death, and mortals can use the strange objects to master spells.
However, it is limited to strange objects after death in the warrior realm, and there is a greater risk in the semi-corpse realm and above.
For example, the eyes of warrior monks who have no eyesight turn into strange objects after death. As long as they are eaten, they can save forty-nine days.
But if such a monk wants to advance to the next level of magic, he has to rely on strange objects from the next level, which is equivalent to losing his potential.
However, there is no such restriction for the techniques that can be mastered independently.
What surprised Ren Qing the most was that the restricted area was closely related to strange objects.
When a monk above the Half-Zombie Realm dies, strange objects will develop spiritual intelligence and move within a certain range, thus forming a restricted area.
Ren Qing subconsciously touched his eyes, feeling shuddering.
Therefore, the restricted area of the prison is actually caused by the monks who practiced the "Human Skin Book" dying inside.
etc.
Since the weirdness of the restricted area is related to the level of the realm, then if a high-level monk masters a variety of techniques at the same time, how terrifying will the restricted area formed after death be...
Unimaginable.
Ren Qing finally understood why Song Zongwu guided him in this way.
The transformation he showed in prison was closely related to the human skin book. Song Zong undoubtedly believed that Ren Qing had entered the warrior realm by accidentally eating human skin fragments.
Ren Qing put himself in someone else's shoes and realized that a martial artist who was nearing his lifespan had achieved it by relying on strange objects and had no potential at all.
There is no need to recruit jailers.
Song Zongwu's approach was extremely benevolent and righteous, preventing Ren Qing from being remembered by some people because he unknowingly exposed his martial arts skills.
For Ren Qing, the lower the sense of presence, the better, so that breaking through to the half-zombie realm would not be noticed.
