The Secret Way of Immortality

#16 - Planning the Divine Foot Sutra

Ren Qing left the south of the city.

It was clear on the road that things were not peaceful. I'm afraid that after a few days of investigation, the yamen had begun to target those monks with the No-Eyed Dharma.

Since the forbidden soldiers were dispatched, they would not leave any leeway.

The Hundred-Eyed One should have expected this. He was probably already satisfied with the number of human eyes he needed and would choose to avoid the limelight for a short time.

Ren Qing did not rush back to the Firewood Hall but went straight to Zhang the Butcher's meat shop.

Although Zhang the Butcher had closed the shop, the inner room, which served as his residence, was still brightly lit, and snores could be heard from inside.

Ren Qing activated his Double Pupil state, and everything around him came into view.

He knew that the Hundred-Eyed One used some means to place eyes on insects or animals, thereby killing people remotely.

But what puzzled Ren Qing was that such methods clearly exceeded the Hundred-Eyed One's capabilities.

Also a branch of the No-Eyed Dharma, the Double Pupil user consumed half a year more of lifespan, so why was the power so different?

Looking around, he found a snail in the corner. Because its body was shrunk in its shell, it was not clear whether there were human eyes on it.

Ren Qing did not hesitate to step on the snail, and immediately Zhang the Butcher's suppressed scream echoed from the inner room.

He hurriedly broke into the room and saw Zhang the Butcher kneeling on the ground, reaching into his throat, as if trying to vomit something.

Ren Qing used the chopsticks on the table to hold Zhang the Butcher's teeth, lest he bite his tongue.

When Zhang the Butcher could no longer control himself, sour and foul black water poured out of his mouth, the smell was extremely pungent and accompanied by corrosiveness.

The black water was mixed with tiny eyeballs, but they quickly disappeared.

Zhang the Butcher fell weakly to the ground. Ren Qing checked with the information stream and found that although his lifespan had been reduced by five years, the strange disease had been cured.

After settling Zhang the Butcher, Ren Qing returned to the Firewood Hall.

Ren Qing had just entered the courtyard and had not had time to rest when he saw Bo Feng and the other three preparing tools, looking like they were going to deal with corpses.

Little Wu breathed a sigh of relief: "Brother Qing, it's good that you came back in time. Firewood workers have been constantly dispatched since just now, and now it's our turn."

Li Mian couldn't help but worry: "Could it be that some great chaos has occurred in Sanxiang City?"

Bo Feng said with a沉着沉着 face: "Don't think too much, it may be gang fights."

"Let's go and see."

Ren Qing felt that it should be related to the forbidden soldiers' clearing of the No-Eyed Dharma monks.

So many people had died in these days because of the headless case, the yamen must be using thunderous methods.

The five arrived at a civilian house on Tan Street led by a constable. Upon entering, they saw blood and flesh all over the floor, and dozens of flies.

Even Little Wu was used to it. They began to skillfully collect the blood and flesh and put them in specific wooden boxes.

However, as the blood and flesh were gradually cleaned up, they felt something was wrong.

They had clearly pieced together a corpse, but there were too many human eyes found, and there were several human eyes on the skin tissue as well.

Little Wu and the Li brothers couldn't help but walk out of the house to relieve their tense spirits.

Bo Feng's face turned pale as he looked at Ren Qing, but he saw that the other party's expression was calm, without the slightest ripple.

Remembering Ren Qing's performance in prison, he couldn't help but feel admiration.

In fact, Ren Qing had expected the strangeness of the corpse.

He seemed to be busy collecting corpses, but in his mind, he was sorting out the information about the Hundred-Eyed One, feeling that the mist was heavy, yet close at hand.

According to what the Aberrant Tree revealed, the Hundred-Eyed One's ability should be to create illusions.

Why could the Hundred-Eyed One he encountered affect others from hundreds of meters away, and also control animals and insects with eyeballs?

Ren Qing's mind moved. Could it be that he possessed multiple spells at the same time, which, when combined, had a powerful and inexplicable effect?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was possible.

Moreover, the chaos caused by the Hundred-Eyed One almost affected the entire Sanxiang City. To avoid revealing any flaws, he had to hide in an absolutely safe place.

Ren Qing's eyes shone brightly.

That could only be the yamen.

He felt enlightened, and the messy clues gathered in his mind and were organized into useful information.

The changes brought about by the information stream were not only the golden finger on the surface, but even Ren Qing's analytical ability had been strengthened several times.

In addition to the No-Eyed Dharma, the Hundred-Eyed One also knew at least one kind of術法, but they were all mastered by eating bizarre objects.

This person had no way forward and could only苟活. It was almost impossible to obtain a No-Eyed Dharma bizarre object in the Ghost Envoy realm, so he had to constantly续命.

任青 suspected that the life-extending effect of the No-Eyed Dharma was getting weaker and weaker as he grew older, so the Hundred-Eyed One began to go crazy.

Being able to hide in the yamen for a long time, the Hundred-Eyed One's initial life-extending methods should have been relatively restrained, and he only ate human eyes out of desperation.

For Ren Qing, the Hundred-Eyed One was a great opportunity, and he could even use it to reach the Ghost Envoy realm in a short time.

Ren Qing pondered how to deal with the Hundred-Eyed One, and gradually came up with ideas.

The identity of the Hundred-Eyed One could be徐徐图之, but the most important thing was to be fully prepared.

Ren Qing's strength was still too tender to face the Hundred-Eyed One. The Half-Corpse realm No-Eyed Dharma was more辅助, and the Human Skin Book was only just入門.

He had to bring out the advantages of the Double Pupil user.

Ren Qing's first reaction was the Divine Foot Sutra.

If his legs possessed extremely strong explosive power after being异化, then he would be invincible as long as the Double Pupils locked onto the enemy's weaknesses.

Moreover, the Divine Foot Sutra was in the hands of forces related to beggars, and they must have a deep understanding of the direction of异化.

Ren Qing at least didn't have to摸着石头过河 and could directly consume lifespan to bring the Divine Foot Sutra to the Half-Corpse realm.

He initially determined his plan. Unknowingly, all the blood and flesh in the house had been装进进了 wooden boxes.

The five continued to the next place to collect corpses. The main reason was that too many people had died. There were twenty or thirty scattered in the west of the city alone.

Ren Qing noticed that about 80% of the corpses were No-Eyed Dharma monks, and the rest of the corpses were just affected by the Hundred-Eyed One and developed strange diseases. It could be seen that their heads were swollen and their eyes were protruding.

If Zhang the Butcher had not been rescued by Ren Qing in time, even if he had survived by chance, he would definitely have been dealt with by the forbidden soldiers.

From this, it could be seen that the attitude of the forbidden soldiers was that they would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go. How many more would die in the search for the Hundred-Eyed One?

Ren Qing returned to the Firewood Hall and sat on the stone chair, feeling a little惆怅.

The stove not far away was burning fiercely.

If it weren't for the information stream, he would probably be one of the corpses. He had finally managed to cultivate the No-Eyed Dharma, but he was inexplicably killed by the forbidden soldiers.

Thinking about it, it was a bit ridiculous. Could it be that in this world, as long as you were unlucky enough, you could come into contact with the methods of cultivation?

Ren Qing chose to reduce his presence. He temporarily stopped thinking about the Hundred-Eyed One and secretly inquired about the beggars in the west of the city.

As a result, he found that even compared to the yamen, gangs with术法 were still considered a not-small force.

There were even not a few forbidden soldiers who came from gangs.
