Ren Qing couldn't help but was stunned. Although it was not confirmed, the old detective was probably the Hundred-Eyed Man hiding in the dark.
This person actually had a father-son relationship with Song Zongwu, and he had obviously succeeded in extending his life, so why did he die suddenly.
Ren Qing followed Song Zongwu towards the martial arts arena with full of doubts.
The two of them looked at each other in silence. Ren Qing didn't ask about Song Rong, but he gradually began to make some guesses in his mind.
The prerequisite for Shura Dharma is to go through the five major precepts of Buddhism without falling.
The so-called five major precepts are: first, not to kill, second, not to steal, third, not to engage in sexual misconduct, fourth, not to lie, and fifth, not to drink alcohol.
Since Song Zongwu's Shura Dharma has the level of the Four-Armed Yama, it is definitely not something that can be achieved through hard work. It makes sense that he once had a family.
They approached the martial arts arena and could see that the martial arts building not far away was quickly blocked.
Song Zong, wearing a bamboo hat and a bamboo hat, showed his jailer's waistband and took Ren Qing directly into the martial arts building.
There were only five veteran pyrotechnics in the Wu Building who were over forty years old. When they saw that Song Zong had no heir, they lowered their heads respectfully.
These old pyrotechnics have been working in the yamen for more than twenty years. They no longer have to worry about the trivial matters in each neighborhood. Instead, they individually identify corpses with strange death patterns, so they are called wuzuo.
The leader, Chen Huogong, said softly: "Song Rong passed away a few days ago. Because he was often bored in the house on weekdays, his body was not noticed until now..."
Song Zongwu nodded, showing no joy or sadness on the surface.
Ren Qing frowned and asked: "A few days ago, which day was it specifically?"
Chen Huogong thought for a moment and replied: "Looking at the degree of decomposition of the body, it should have been two days ago."
Ren Qing muttered to himself: "Isn't it the same time as the Sibu Zhai accident two days ago? I don't know if it is related."
Song Zongwu said calmly: "Several masters, please go back first."
"Okay, my lord."
The old fireman turned and left.
They didn't know the relationship between Song Zongwu and Song Rong, but they just found it a little baffling. There was nothing strange about the corpse.
Song Zongwu waited until there was no one in the martial arts building, and then slowly told Song Rong's origin.
Song Rong was weak and weak since he was a child, so his lifespan was limited and he could not live past twenty.
But his character was born as a demon. His biological mother died in childbirth. Song Rong took pleasure in torturing cats and dogs when he was young, and even...killed people.
At that time, Song Zongwu wanted to discipline Song Rong, but because he was promoted to a three-armed judge, he was in trouble. He was afraid of dying in a densely populated town, so he had to prepare to escape into the wilderness.
Song Zongwu gave the five-year-old Song Rong to a temple to be fed, and then hurried to retreat.
It took him more than twenty years to go into seclusion. When he returned to the temple, it was full of dry bones and Song Rong had long disappeared.
Song Zongwu originally thought that Song Rong died of exhaustion of longevity, but he found him at the Yamen of Sanxiang City.
Song Rong is now forty-three years old.
Ren Qing couldn't help but was speechless. Song Rong was so cruel and ruthless at a young age, and he must be even more unscrupulous when he mastered the technique.
Song Zongwu said in a deep voice: "I have always suspected that Song Rong sacrificed human beings to extend his life, but I can't find any clues."
According to Song Zongwu's principles, he would naturally not take action until it was confirmed that Song Rong killed someone to extend his life, leading to a series of beheading cases.
Ren Qing could hear some regret in Song Zongwu's tone.
I am afraid that the "Travel Notes to the Thatched Cottage" he left behind in Wu Lou was to use the monks who read books to admonish Song Rong, but the latter showed no restraint.
Of course it's just a guess, the body needs to be used to confirm the situation.
Ren Qing pushed open the wooden door of the back room and saw a mummy sitting at the table. The smell of putridity hit his face.
He used his double eyes to observe carefully and found that the corpse looked normal at first glance, but there was something vaguely wrong.
Song Zongwu said: "If it is true that people can kill people to extend their lives as I guessed, it would be enough to take at least four to five hundred lives."
"Senior Song, there is something wrong with the body."
Ren Qing pointed to the corpse spots all over the skin and said, "Even if the corpse spots take on different colors over time, they should be pretty much the same."
Song Zongwu looked at it intently, and it was indeed as Ren Qing said, the colors of the corpse spots were different shades, which was indescribably weird.
"Do you mind if I cut up the body?"
"fine."
Ren Qing took out the knife he carried with him and drew it across the area where the corpse spots were most concentrated. The flesh and blood under the skin was immediately revealed.
The two of them looked at each other, their expressions a bit incredulous.
All that was seen was that the flesh and blood were in the shape of lumps, and there was no fibrous feeling at all, as if they were pieced together.
Ren Qing did not hesitate to cut open the skin everywhere. The flesh and blood inside had different degrees of decay and was not even human flesh.
The two of them said almost in unison: "Human skin book?"
The person who can create a real and fake corpse out of thin air is most likely the skinner of the human skin book. This kind of alienation mainly involves the human body.
Ren Qing immediately understood that Song Rong must be the one with hundreds of eyes.
No wonder he was able to hide quietly in the yamen. Even Song Zongwu couldn't see the flaw. He was probably wearing human skin to cover up the features of the Hundred-Eyed Man.
And use the ability of the Skinner to dig out his own eyes, and then attach them to animals or insects to control them remotely.
Even the restricted area of the prison may have been created by Song Rong.
But why did Song Rong fake his death and escape? Could it be that the purpose was to eliminate disasters in the restricted area?
Ren Qing hesitated for a moment and then informed Song Zongwu about the Wumu method.
Emphasizing the use of eating raw human eyes to extend life, Song Zongwu naturally connected it to the previously controversial case of beheading.
Song Zongwu understood that Ren Qing's and Song Rong's aimless methods had the same origin, but the difference was in the direction of alienation.
He couldn't help the anger in his eyes, turned around and stared with six eyes and said: "Ren Qing, have you ever eaten a human eye raw?"
Ren Qing said with a serious expression: "Senior Song, I have never eaten human eyes, and I have no such thoughts."
Song Zongwu had the skill of listening and learned that Ren Qing was not lying, and his tone slowed down.
"That's good, don't go astray."
He thought of the difficulty of mastering the aimless method, and couldn't help but appreciate it.
To get started with the Eyeless Dharma, you have to go through forty-nine days of boundless darkness. Since Ren Qing can stick to his original intention, it shows that his character is indeed good.
His talent, luck, and character are all excellent, and he will definitely have the opportunity to break through the Yin difference realm in the future.
It's a pity that I accidentally ate a strange thing and was unable to master body-related spells. Otherwise, I can look forward to entering the Yangshen realm.
Song Zongwu suddenly came up with a bold idea. After all, Ren Qing's human skin writing skills might be able to break through the restrictions of strange objects?
He no longer thought about it and was about to leave to find Song Rong.
"You should practice the Taotie method well these days. If you need any resources, you can come to me."
"Thank you, Senior Song."
Ren Qing felt happy because he could see that Song Zongwu's attitude was that he regarded himself as an elder. Even if he didn't become a disciple, the difference would probably not be big.
Song Zongwu went out of the Yamen.
Ren Qing stayed in the Wu Building temporarily, trying to find some clues left by Bai Muzhi from the inner room, but unfortunately he got nothing.
The fake corpse asked the police outside to contact Bo Feng, and it was taken away and burned.
