Chapter 195 Key

While He Ping captured the old man in green robe, the investigation by He Zhongheng and Qi Baiyi also reached a deadlock. The two chased the escaping figure to a remote mountain forest outside the county town. In the forest, they found built a mountain temple.

The barren mountains far away from human habitation are particularly deserted. The mountain temple has been in disrepair for a long time. Most of the temple guards have collapsed. The ruins and broken walls have collapsed. There are overgrown weeds in the cracks of the tiles. After careful investigation, the two found a temple in the backyard of the temple. A female corpse was cooked in a pan.

"Another female corpse, it must be another sin caused by Sa Shili!"

He Zhongheng gritted his teeth.

"I will never let this person go!"

The number of the dead also increased to twelve, and they had been tracking down for so long, but there was no clue about the prisoner.

"There is no trace of that guy..."

Qi Baiyi searched the area but found nothing. The only thing he found was a picture scroll nailed to a tree.

What this painting depicts is a living person who has been cooked in hot oil. There is not a single piece of intact flesh in the whole body, which is almost the same as the female corpse that was fried into charcoal in the oil pan.

Qi Baiyi has been hanging around in the world for many years. He knows that there are also cruel villains in the underworld and the green forest, and these people are also very evil.

However, these people are different from the "Hell Painter" Sa Shili. The evil of those villains is not twisted or perverse at all. It is their nature to bully the weak like a tiger biting people.

However, "Hell Painter" Sa Shili is different. The cruelty of his actions is several times greater than that of those villains. This person's malice is even more full of bad taste.

In fact, just thinking about the intention makes Qi Baiyi feel uncomfortable all over!

At this moment, a bell rang. Qi Baiyi and He Zhongheng heard the sound and turned their heads to look back. They saw two women riding horses on the mountain road over there, one dressed in green and one in red. The girl in the green shirt has a double bun, bright eyes, white teeth, and skin as good as snow. She is a rare beauty anywhere, but the woman in red next to her is even more delicate and unparalleled.

"He Capant, have you caught the 'Hell Painter' Sa Shili?"

Two women rode closer, and the woman in red asked softly: "I was hit by that man's poisonous smoke just now, and almost fainted. Fortunately, I used my power to drive away the poisonous smoke, so I didn't get hit, and it was too late." step."

"Miss Yanhong is serious."

He Zhongheng bowed his hands.

"Miss, your plan worked. It's a pity that I, He, was incompetent and let the monster escape."

"...did you run away?"

The woman in red sighed: "You can't blame these two. 'Hell Painter' Sa Shili has been doing evil for many years. Thirty years ago, the son of Chief Ji Ji, one of the nine chief envoys of the Evil Slayer Division, died. In the hands of this murderer, our Evil Slaying Division has been secretly pursuing the case he committed for a long time, and we don’t have much information about this murderer..."

"Is it possible that the Evil Slayer Division is also involved in the case of 'Hell Painter' Sa Shili?"

He Zhongheng was a little surprised. He had studied martial arts at Zhonghuan Kinki's martial arts hall, and he didn't know anything about the Evil Division. The Evil-Slaying Division is centered on "one division leader and nine chief envoys". It is a hawk-dog organization of the imperial court that monitors the evil spirits and chaos among the people.

The current head of the division is Situ Haoxing. One person is in charge of the power of the evil-killing division and is directly led by Emperor You himself. In addition to the position of chief, the evil-cutting division also has the following divisions: "Lin", "Bing", "Dou" and "Zhe". ", "Jiu", "formation", "column", "front", and "xing" are the nine-character secret blessings for the nine envoys.

"I heard Master Zhanxie say," Qi Baiyi also wore the attire of a county government agent in order to avoid trouble.

The woman in red was not too cautious, and did not realize that he was not from the Yamen, and she did not avoid any taboos in his speech. However, when Qi Baiyi heard what the woman in red said, he was slightly startled.

"He said that we should pay attention to the organizations in the court and try not to deal with them. Because the court established the Evil Slaying Division to deal with people in the spiritual path... It seems that Nasa Shili is indeed not a simple character."

"This time, it was Commander Ji who sent me out to investigate this case after hearing that Sa Shili was committing another crime."

The woman in red smiled slightly.

"I don't think you two should be too disappointed. The 'Hell Painter' Sa Shili is indeed cunning, but this time, he still showed a flaw. It is not impossible to arrest this person. Something!"

Hearing what Miss Yan Hong said, He Zhongheng and Qi Baiyi looked at each other, somewhat confused as to what medicine Miss Yan Hong was selling in her gourd.

"'Hell Painter' Sa Shili is really cunning. I set up a trap, but he almost took advantage of me. I was almost taken away by this murderer. Fortunately, when I fought with him, Hit him with a small bottle of 'Yufang Pill'..."

She looked around with beautiful eyes and smiled softly: "'Yufang Pill' is a strange medicinal powder refined by Sun Changshi. It is silent and tasteless. Only a spiritual insect called Cuiling Jade Eyed Cicada can track this medicine." It has a soundless and odorless fragrance, and it just so happens that I have a jade-eyed cicada on my body."

Yan Hong raised her right hand slightly, and saw a small bamboo cage in her hand.

"'Hell Painter' Sa Shili has been committing crimes for many years, and he thinks he is flawless. Unfortunately, I still found a flaw this time. Today, I will make him reveal his true colors!"

…

He Ping captured the green-robed old man in his secret room and immediately tortured him with demonic flames, forcing him to question his identity.

The old man in green robe could not endure the torture, so he could only tell his identity honestly. The old man in green robe is named Sikong Tui, and he is a renegade disciple of the Wu Nuo sect in southern Xinjiang.

He was originally a medicine gatherer in southern Xinjiang. He slipped and fell off a cliff. After being rescued by an elder of the Wunuo Sect, he became a disciple.

The "Panhu Sutra" passed down by the Wu Nuo Religion has been passed down for a long time. It is a dharma for entry into the Tao that combines the techniques of witchcraft, incantation, summoning spirits, inviting gods, and ancestral spirits. It ranks 25th among many dharma dharma in the world. Naturally, there is something good about it.

However, the Wu Nuo sect is mainly composed of Yue people from southern Xinjiang and is somewhat repulsive to the Dayou people. After Sikong retired and joined the sect, he did not receive the true teachings. Due to the rules within the Wu Nuo Sect, if a person from the Dayou Kingdom joins the religion, he or she needs to be a slave in the religion for ten years, working as a cow or a horse.

Sikong Tui had been a slave in the sect for less than three years, but he had endured all kinds of abuse from the Yue people. He stole a book that recorded the magic in the sect, escaped from the Wu Nuo sect, and returned to Dayou.

After arriving in Dayou, he relied on the Wunuo sect's spells he had learned to solve several major cases, and was targeted by the masters of the Evil Slayer Division. When he was captured, he was rescued by a man named Wu Qingzu, and he escaped with his life.

After Wu Qingzu rescued Sikong and retreated, he taught him the refining method of "Hundred Charms" and ordered him to stay near Jiangxinzhou outside Longhe County. According to Wu Qingzu's self-report, his ancestor was a descendant of the line of Immortal Painting. He studied under a senior in the Immortal Painting. This senior called himself He Cenzi and was proficient in his own magic.

Wu Qingzu's ancestor and another man were brothers from the same school. When He Cenzi died, he told them that the true secret method of painting the immortal way was hidden on a certain Jiangxin Island, and he also ordered the two to work together to find the true secret. Secrets.

Unexpectedly, after the two of them came to the island and found the true secret method, they originally agreed to study it together. But when things happened, the other person got interested and injured Wu Qingzu's ancestor, and he was also seriously injured by the counterattack.

This ancestor died not long after he fled back. Before his death, he told his descendants to regain the true secret method.

"The true secret was hidden by the senior master of Immortalism with great magic power. It requires the joint efforts of his ancestor and another person to open it... Wu Qingzu asked me to stay here to identify that person's descendants, if they are still alive. He will definitely go to the island to find the true secret treasure. If we can catch this person, it will not be difficult to unlock the true secret treasure?"

The old man in green robe spoke tremblingly and said: "The ancestor of the Wu family and another person each hold a 'key' to the true secret. The two 'keys' work together to open the true secret. If only one of them With a key, it is almost impossible to open the secret treasure of true inheritance?"

"So, the other part of the secret that revealed the true legacy is in Wu Qingzu's body?"

He Ping frowned. He thought of the "Gaotang Meng Pavilion" in his mansion, and became more and more suspicious of whether that pavilion had any connection with the secret treasure...

"No, I have the key."

The old man in green robe smiled bitterly.

"Senior, if senior is willing to spare my life, I can dedicate the key to senior!"
