Seeking immortality in a deceitful way starts by making oneself into a puppet

Longhe County has basically become He Ping's territory. His large number of men are like parasites, living under the root system of the big tree in Longhe County, infiltrating into the major gangs rooted at the bottom, embezzling and growing.

As time went on, it gradually became stronger, and this force hidden in the dark began to turn its back on guests and secretly controlled the overall situation.

Nowadays, He Ping's forces have long become the new masters of Longhe County's secrets. They have many eyes and ears, and their manpower is spread all over the place, whether it is the main thoroughfares or the bustling places, including the shops, docks, teahouses, etc. in the county. Restaurants, prostitutes, and all walks of life in the county have been brought under his control.

He Ping basically regards Longhe County as his own territory and treats it as his forbidden area. Of course, when he hears the "serial murder case", the first thing he thinks about is that someone is causing trouble on his territory!

Can this be tolerated? !

"No, this case seems a bit strange. At least, the murderer came all the way from Fenglian Prefecture," He Fusheng said calmly: "This man's name is Sa Shili, and everyone in the world calls him ' "Hell Painter", it is said that thirty years ago, this man committed the murder of seventy-two members of the Guan family in Chaohai Prefecture overnight. The Guan family was a famous local family. Removed."

"'Hell Painter' Sa Shili?"

He Ping hummed. He didn't pay much attention at first, but suddenly, as if he thought of something, he frowned.

"...But why is this person called the 'Hell Painter'?"

Butler He Fusheng said loudly.

"It is said that Sa Shili himself was a painter with outstanding painting skills. Later, he became obsessed with painting. He robbed living people everywhere and killed people to paint... Every time Sa Shili killed someone, he would depict his death in a picture. In the "Eighteen Hell Pictures", the eighteen hell pictures are tongue pulling, scissors, iron tree, evil mirror, steamer, copper pillar, knife mountain, iceberg, oil pan, cow pit, stone pressure..."

About thirty years ago, "Hell Painter" Sa Shili committed a major crime in Chaohai Prefecture and went into hiding. After five years, he went to other places one after another and committed murders continuously. Do many evil things.

Every time Sa Shili kidnaps and kills people, he will imitate the jailers in hell and kill the dead in various ways of punishment and torture.

At the same time, when a body is discovered, a picture of the deceased being tortured in hell will be left at the scene.

——The idea of ​​the eighteen levels of hell originates from the Buddhist theory of the six hells. It is different from the concept of the Nine Nether Palaces in the Great Netherworld. In Buddhism, the hells are places where sinners are imprisoned. Those with deep karma, Ghosts who fall into hell will also suffer various punishments in hell to pay for their sins in life.

Those who died in the hands of Sa Shili, some had their tongues pulled out, some were put in a pan of oil, or were chopped into pieces with thousands of knives. Those who died tragically in his hands, their bodies died in extremely cruel ways.

The government sent people around to trace his whereabouts, but this case was investigated for a long time, and Nasa Shili was finally missing...

"In other words, this Sa Shili committed a crime thirty years ago, but thirty years later, this person came out to commit another crime again?"

After He Ping heard these words, he asked doubtfully: "What evidence is there? This was what the hell painter did. If he was the murderer thirty years ago, then he should be quite old now. This person You had already escaped the law, so why did you come out to kill again? This is obviously a bit strange, right?"

"Maybe so?"

When the housekeeper heard his words, a wry smile appeared on his face.

"I heard that the reason for this inference is that the paintings left behind by Sa Shili after the murder are exactly the same as those made thirty years ago. The government has not yet reached a clear conclusion and is still investigating the case, but there are rumors among the people. It has to be stylish..."

"Is there no conclusion from the government?"

At the same time, a trace of doubt emerged in He Ping's heart.

"This 'Hell Painter' Sa Shili, could he be a monk who paints immortals, right? He specializes in drawing drawings of people. This kind of evil thing is very similar to the style of painting immortals!"

The Tao of Painting Immortals and the Nine Evils of Immortality are collectively known as the "Tenth Evil in the World". This sect's style of acting is mysterious and mysterious. It has not been traced for hundreds of years and is considered to have lost its inheritance by the spiritual community.

'Speaking of which, I also got an ebony box from the attic of the 'Gaotang Meng Pavilion', which contained the 'Painting Gu Spirit Insect' used by the Painting Immortal Dao for painting. In addition, there was a scroll, that "Banana Deer Dream Brush" is not the inheritance of the immortal way of painting, but only teaches people how to learn painting. ’

He Ping also got a map from "Banana Deer Dream Pen", which pointed to a remote location.

Moreover, he also learned that the remote location recorded in "Banana Deer Dream Brush" involves the inheritance of the Immortal Painting Dao... It's just a pity that considering that there is no way to enter the inheritance of the Immortal Painting Dao, he has little interest in this inheritance and has no Keep pursuing it.

"In this case, let Qi Baiyi, Liu Yu and others also go to investigate. By the way, we also mobilize the manpower in our city. Longhe County is already our foundation. If something goes wrong, it will inevitably cause trouble. Cause unnecessary trouble..."

He Ping is not worried about the abilities of this "Hell Painter" Sa Shili. Even if this person has inherited the Immortal Painting Way and practiced powerful spells, as long as the opponent has not entered the Tao, he will not be able to jump a few times in the palm of his hand. He just felt that if this matter was to cause too much trouble, it would inevitably attract the "ghost bats" from the Evil Slayer Division.

The people of the Evil Slayer Division may not pose any serious threat to He Ping, but the Evil Slayer Division does have Dao-level masters, and He Ping doesn't want to run into them and expose his identity.

"If this 'Hell Painter' continues to cause trouble and attracts the men of the Evil Slayer Division to come to Longhe County to investigate, it will obviously be disadvantageous for me..."

He Ping thought about it and felt that he couldn't just leave this matter alone.

"Send more people to investigate this matter, and ask He Zhongheng to put up a bonus reward. Let the local wealthy businessmen pay a reward for any clues about 'Hell Painter' Sa Shili. Whoever can provide important information will be rewarded." No less.”

He Fusheng nodded and responded quickly.

"Okay, you go down first..." He Ping waved his hand, and He Fusheng lowered his head and slowly exited the wing.

After the butler He Fusheng left, he took out the Pan Chi Jade Jue from his arms.

This Pan Chi Jade Jue has vibrated many times in the past few days, but He Ping was still overseas at the time, so he naturally ignored it.

In addition, he had told Indaro before that he was going to practice in seclusion, so he took a leave of absence, and he was not worried about Indaro asking him to do things temporarily.

"It should be Indaro looking for me. I feel a little anxious. Let's see what's going on?"

When he connected to Pan Chi Yujue, he heard a strange woman's voice.

"Moshiro, why did you answer the call so late? Do you know that you almost missed the point?"

"Who are you?"

He Ping frowned slightly. In Mosiuluo's memory, he probably didn't recognize this person.

"Of course you don't know me. My code name in Dongmi is 'Jin Yao Peacock', and I am one of the leaders of the Twelve Golden Generals. What is going on with you? No response for so many days?"

The woman's voice was not impatient, her tone was gentle, but there was also a hint of sternness.

"It turns out to be Mr. Jin Yao Peacock. Mr. Indaro has told you about you."

When He Ping heard this, he quickly slowed down his tone and said calmly: "Is there something going on with Mr. Indaro and he didn't inform Mr. Jin Yao Peacock that I have been practicing in seclusion a few days ago, and today I just After leaving the customs, he was negligent and did not receive the summons."

"Well……"

When Jin Yao Peacock heard this, he seemed to sigh, and his tone became much gentler.

"Then I wrongly blamed you! Indaro made some mistakes when handing over to me, and he forgot to inform me of these details... Forget about gossiping, let me get down to business first. This time there is an important task that requires twelve of you. General Jin will take action. In addition, Indaro and Miqiluo have already set off ahead of others. You and the other five people are specifically responsible for another part of this mission."

"What's the mission?"

He Ping asked calmly.

"kill."

Jin Yao Peacock said calmly: "This person's name is Xiao Si'an, and he is the supervisory envoy in the imperial court. He recently had a funeral in his family, so he asked for leave to go home to observe mourning... The order issued by the above is to take advantage of his return home. To get rid of Xiao Si'an, it's best to be more ruthless and eradicate the Xiao family to prevent future troubles."

Kill a supervisor?

Thoughts flowed in He Ping's mind. Most of the civil servants selected by the imperial court had nothing to do with the spiritual world. If this was the case, Xiao Si'an was just an ordinary person. To kill such an ordinary person, did it really take a twelve-gold general to take action?

"Could it be involved in the struggle in the imperial court? I guess the top management of Dongmi should be a very high-ranking member of the royal family of the Great You Dynasty. I don't know why this Xiao Yushi is involved. When the government is in chaos, this leads to the disaster of killing!"

Jin Yao Peacock explained the plan in detail and then hung up the contact with him.

"To kill a civil servant in the court, this kind of task requires us to go out to the twelve golden generals. It seems that the inside story is not simple..."

He Ping was quite interested in Dong Mi as an organization. He had also benefited a lot from Dong Mi through Masuro's vest. In his opinion, there was no need to fall out with Dong Mi at this time.

Since you don’t fall out, you can only complete the task...

"Again, murder and arson, another eradication! I have really become a member of an evil organization..."

He Ping shook his head and stood up slowly.

…

"This is the Xiao family's mansion?"

A tall figure wearing a golden mask was standing on a semi-convex cliff, looking down from a high position. In the far distance, he saw an ancient town covered with bluestone brick walls. There is also a luxurious mansion in the town. There are many lights in this mansion, but white cloths are hung everywhere, which is obviously a funeral.

"Hey, hey, let's hold a funeral... It's a good idea. Anyway, a lot of people will die later, so it saves us having to hold another funeral."

This tall figure is a man, wearing a yellow robe, with a tall and tall figure. The mask he wore only covered the area above his nose. The eyes under the golden mask emitted a faint purple light.

"Bazheluo, you are mistaken. We are asked to eradicate the roots. The Xiao family has offended us, Dongmi, and there will be no need to hold any funerals in the future..."

Standing next to him was a woman. This woman was wearing green clothes. Her voice was very hoarse when she spoke. She also wore a golden mask on her face.

Her skin color is extremely pale, and she is wearing a green dress, which makes her skin color even more pale. There seems to be a layer of green light flowing in it, which is very different from ordinary people.

The woman glanced at the man in yellow robe beside her.

"However, you still have to be careful. There are several powerful characters hiding around Xiao Si'an. It will not be easy to kill him!"

"Hahahahahaha..."

The face under the mask of the yellow-robed man grinned widely, revealing his white teeth: "Twelve golden generals came out to take the head of Xiao, how many people in the world can save him?" , let’s do it!”

"You don't need to tell me this kind of thing..."

The woman in green snorted coldly, raised her hand, and the large gray fog turned into thick fog walls on all sides, sealing off the entire town from all directions——

Next, a brutal killing began in this fog.
