The Secret Way of Immortality

The strange object swallowed by Wu the bodyguard came from a technique called White Ape Skill, which, when mastered, allows one to transform into an ape.

He had no interest in the White Ape Skill and naturally wouldn't waste his lifespan to master it, so he directly handed Wu the bodyguard over to the Imprisonment Hall.

He originally thought Wu the bodyguard was related to the Non-Action Daoist temple, but now he realized it was somewhat unrealistic.

After all, even if the blind Daoist was crazy, he still had the instinct to ward off disaster, and he might not dare to approach Sanxiang City, which had so many jailers.

Ren Qing placed a wisp of his soul in the Daoist temple, so if the consciousness of ordinary people was drawn into it, he would immediately notice.

Then, he could determine the location of the preacher based on these consciousnesses.

However, since the preaching during the imperial examination, the interior of the Non-Action Daoist temple had gradually become old.

Ren Qing suspected it might be related to the damaged statue of the Celestial Worthy of Primordial Beginning.

Even his left hand might have disappeared when the scholars entered, and he didn't know what impact it would have.

Moreover, what was even more bizarre was that the severed hand of the Celestial Worthy of Primordial Beginning's statue had actually grown flesh, giving off the illusion that it was about to come alive.

Ren Qing decided to examine all the scholars in Sanxiang City who had participated in the imperial examination, and he had to do it without hesitation to prevent the scholars from returning to their hometowns.

He had just finished contacting the scholars from Crane Mountain Town when Lin Cheng and Lu Xiaoyu hurriedly came to him.

The two of them looked surprised and uncertain, and after seeing Ren Qing, they said, "Lord Ren, do you still remember the previous Wu Family Escort Agency?"

Ren Qing frowned slightly: "What's wrong?"

Lu Xiaoyu replied with fear: "Everyone inside suddenly died, and their bodies had no flesh."

"The Nether Crow has already issued a mission, presumably..."

Before Lin Cheng could finish speaking, the cry of a Nether Crow rang out.

After all, Ren Qing had just been involved in the mission a few days ago, so it was natural for them to come to him.

The Wu Family Escort Agency had just held a funeral a few days ago, and Wu Mo's high score in the imperial examination had attracted the attention of many people in Sanxiang City.

As a result, the matter was urgent, and although Ren Qing, as a formal jailer, could refuse the mission, he felt that something was wrong.

Wu Mo? Imperial examination? Celestial Worthy of Primordial Beginning?

Ren Qing knew that he couldn't delay, so he immediately said, "Let's go to the escort agency and see what's going on."

The three of them went straight to the escort agency, and the entrance and exit gates had been sealed by the yamen, and there were several constables guarding them.

The escort agency was still decorated with some funeral arrangements, so there was no need to prepare them deliberately now, as the whole family had died.

After Ren Qing showed his jailer token, the constables let him in without asking any questions.

As soon as he crossed the threshold, he smelled a faint bloody smell in the air.

The source of the bloody smell was the corpses piled up in the courtyard, dozens of them, covered with white cloth.

It was summer, and the weather was relatively hot, and a large number of flies were flying around.

The yamen had no way to deal with these inexplicably dead bodies, so they had to ask the Imprisonment Hall for help, and as long as they didn't involve strange objects, they would be taken away for cremation.

The old constable sat on the steps with a worried face, taking puffs of his dry tobacco pipe, and when he noticed Ren Qing, he quickly stood up.

"Lord, all seventy-eight corpses of the Wu Family Escort Agency are placed here."

"Seventy-eight corpses?"

Ren Qing had specifically looked through the files recording information about the escort agency, and he remembered that there should have been seventy-nine people, not counting Wu the bodyguard.

"Who is missing from the corpses in the escort agency?"

The old constable took a deep puff of his dry tobacco pipe, and his arm holding the pipe trembled slightly.

"Lord, I don't know, you can see for yourself, things... are a bit hard to explain."

Ren Qing nodded, and with a wave of his hand, a gust of wind howled, and the white cloth was blown open, dispersing the flies and revealing the corpses.

There were seventy-eight corpses, both old and young, male and female, but what was horrifying was that their appearances were roughly the same, all identical to Wu Mo.

Moreover, the flesh of the corpses had disappeared, leaving only human skin pasted on the surface of the bones.

Ren Qing couldn't help but feel surprised, and found that even the bones of the corpses had changed, and were gradually approaching Wu Mo.

Lin Cheng and the other two felt that it was related to cultivators, and couldn't help but become vigilant.

Ren Qing signaled them not to worry, and then performed a soul separation.

He inspected the escort agency from the perspective of his separated soul, and suddenly noticed that a footprint was slightly strange.

The footprint walked for several meters, and suddenly became deeper near the door, indicating that it was caused by an increase in weight.

Ren Qing suspected that the seventy-ninth person missing from the escort agency had been taken away by the other party.

He turned to the old constable and said, "Let the constables patrol the nearby streets, and notify me immediately if they find anything strange."

The old constable quickly agreed, and then skillfully directed his subordinates to search the streets in batches, spreading out from the escort agency as the center.

Lin Cheng and the other two cooperated with the yamen officers, after all, it involved cultivators, so they had to be cautious.

But Ren Qing always felt a strange feeling, which seemed to come from the premonition of the Twin Nightmare Demons, so he came to the high point of the building.

Wu Mo and the hand of the Celestial Worthy of Primordial Beginning were hard not to connect.

Ren Qing looked around and waited quietly for the constables.

About half an hour later, the constables did have some gains, they gathered in front of a simple shop, but did not rush in.

From the signboard, it could be seen that the shop should be selling mutton soup noodles, and the mutton bone soup obtained through continuous boiling was extremely delicious.

However, the door of the mutton soup restaurant was tightly closed, and only the smell of mutton could be smelled, mixed with an unpleasant sour smell.

Ren Qing flashed a few times and came to the front of the shop, the surrounding streets had been blocked, and now there was no one in sight.

Lin Cheng and the other two looked at him nervously.

Seeing this, Ren Qing said, "You stay outside, I'll go in and check the situation."

Lin Cheng and Lu Xiaoyu nodded.

Ren Qing pushed open the shop door and walked in, and the sour smell became more obvious.

Corresponding to the door was the kitchen, and the smell was coming from the kitchen, and there were shadows of people moving inside.

Ren Qing stepped into the kitchen.

Dragon Serpent Spine protruded.

I saw an old woman stirring in a large pot with a soup spoon, and what was stewing inside besides mutton offal and mutton bones was actually an arm.

The old woman's left hand was incomplete, and the origin of the arm in the pot was obvious.

"Since it's mutton soup, how can there be no meat..."

This sentence seemed to be said to herself, possibly affected by spells.

The old woman found Ren Qing on the side, she put down the soup spoon, grabbed a kitchen knife and looked at him, her eyes were chilling.

Before Ren Qing could make a move, he directly struck the old woman's neck with his palm as a knife, and then threw her to Lin Cheng outside the shop.

Then Ren Qing walked towards the second floor of the mutton soup restaurant, and after approaching the compartment inside, he could vaguely hear the sound of bones colliding.

He opened the door, and lying inside was a big-bellied man, Wu Mo.

Wu Mo was already lifeless, and his stomach was bulging, and it could be vaguely seen that there was a man curled up inside.

The man gradually stretched his limbs, and dressed Wu Mo like clothes.

After a while, Wu Mo's eyes opened, and he looked at Ren Qing with a torch-like gaze.

He muttered to himself in a crazy voice: "I am Wu Mo, the top scorer in the imperial examination, and there is an escort agency with dozens of people in my family..."

He then said to Ren Qing: "Are you the bodyguard who came to pick me up?"

Ren Qing frowned tightly, there were no traces of strange objects on the man, but he killed dozens of people by inexplicable means.

Just as he was about to knock Wu Mo unconscious and take him away, he suddenly felt his heart beating wildly for no reason, and his blood flowing back.

An inexplicable force acted on Ren Qing, and his body actually changed, and his appearance approached a bodyguard seen in the escort agency.

Ren Qing did not hesitate to summon the Dragon Serpent Spine, and the sharp bone blade cut open Wu Mo's skin and flesh, revealing the thin man inside.

The man was covered in blood, his expression was extremely distorted, and his forearm was stone, similar to the statue of the Celestial Worthy of Primordial Beginning.

After the Dragon Serpent Spine cut off the petrified forearm, the inexplicable force disappeared.

Ren Qing did not hesitate too much, and directly took the man's life, and then used the separated soul to take the stone arm back to the Non-Action Daoist temple.

This thing was too evil.

Fortunately, Ren Qing had a sense of it in the dark, if he had not come to the Wu Family Escort Agency again, I am afraid it would have caused a catastrophe.

He didn't know why the hand of the Celestial Worthy of Primordial Beginning had an effect similar to the law of words.

But the law of words obviously came at the cost of human life, and at the same time as petrifying the man's body, the statue in the Daoist temple was becoming fleshy.

It is not known what will happen after the statue is completely fleshy.

Ren Qing's hairs stood on end.

He suddenly remembered the description of the Dao Dao Dao technique, which requires replacing the brain, left lung and heart with three Heavenly Dao Eggs.

Could it be that the statues of the Three Dao Ancestors are hatched after the Heavenly Dao Eggs?

Ren Qing suppressed the distractions in his heart, he signaled Lin Cheng to contact the Imprisonment Hall.

Next, the escort agency and the mutton soup restaurant will be blocked for a period of time, until it is determined that there is no major problem.

After Ren Qing reported the mission, he went straight back to the Fireworker Hall, and then focused his attention on the Non-Action Daoist temple.

The separated soul held the left hand of the Celestial Worthy of Primordial Beginning, preparing to restore the incomplete part to its integrity, so as not to cause accidents.

Suddenly he reacted.

Ren Qing looked at the gate of the Daoist temple, the hole for opening the lock core seemed to be able to accommodate a finger just now, could there be a connection.

He walked to the door, hesitated for a few breaths and inserted the index finger of his left hand into the keyhole, and the gate suddenly made a sound of unlocking.

With just a light push, the scene outside the Daoist temple came into view.

The Non-Action Daoist temple is located on a huge lotus leaf, floating on the stagnant water of the pond, and you can also see the edges wrapped by water tanks.

There are many similar lotus leaves, all with Taoist temples located on them.

And the Daoist temple where Ren Qing is located is called the Hall of Discussion.

Countless corpses are soaked in the water of the pond, they are wearing Taoist robes, and their skin is swollen like water-filled sponges.

The corpses vary in size, and the largest ones can be as high as mountains.

Ren Qing was slightly surprised, each corpse was facing the sky, and their backs were in the dark pond water.

The corpse closest to him was about the size of a normal person, leaning against the lotus leaf, gently rippling with the subtle water waves.

He came to the corpse and bent over.

Since he wants to figure out what happened in the Non-Action Daoist temple, he will inevitably have to take risks, at worst he will lose the separated soul.

Ren Qing touched the surface of the corpse, and there was no abnormality, and then summoned the information stream.

He couldn't help but shrink his pupils slightly.
