man sanctified in death row vest

Chapter 227 The Road to Inhumanity (a 5100-character chapter!)

360 lines, roughly divided into upper, middle and lower classes, which contain people's prejudices and preferences for a certain profession.

Now, under the influence of Chang Yin, these professions have given birth to thaumaturgy.But the so-called "upper, middle and lower" does not mean the strength and treachery of this method.

There are quite a few occupations that work with the dead, which are feared by others, and most of them are in the middle and ninth grades.

As for the low-level, most of them are some shady businesses.The most commendable are the so-called: kidnapping, cheating, stealing, and prostitution.

Liars, known as "thousand goalkeepers" by the people, Zheng Xiu met a lot of them some time ago, and killed a lot of them.

As for "stealing the door", it sounds high-ranking, but it is actually doing something sneaky.

The prostitutes are "Orchid Flowers". The four maidservants "Zhizhi, Bobo, Pingping, and Lili" beside Zheng Xiu were once the four golden flowers in heaven and earth. The branch of [Geisha] is in the fork.

Among kidnapping and stealing, the last one is the most contemptible... abduction.

——Time demon.

"Time demon?"

Zheng Xiu thought about it for a while, and remembered this unorthodox trade.

To put it mildly, it is called "Shi Yao", and to put it bluntly, it is called "Abduction Woman".

The origin of this title is somewhat interesting to say the least.In ancient times, the abductees hid their heads and showed their tails, and dared not speak out.When they "acted", most of them were not noticed. After abducting the child, the child grew up many years ago, saying that "the time was stolen".In order to scare the children in the village from running around blindly, the adults told them, don't go out of the village at night, you will grow old in the blink of an eye after being abducted by the "time demon".

The source is no longer possible to study, but after people echoed what others said, gradually the "abduction woman" was called "the demon of the time".

Like Ye Weiyang's Tiger Wolf Wall Water, "Time Demon" is also a rare profession in today's peaceful and prosperous world, and no one does it anymore.After all, if you don't make money, it's easy to lose your head.

Zheng Xiu never expected that the emperor would send a strange person here.Zheng Xiu stared at Yin Qingqing's bare back in a daze.At this time, Feng Bei heard the familiar music and followed it happily. When he came to the hall, he saw Zheng Xiu staring at other people's hips and waist without moving.

The hall is full of women, some are playing and singing, and some are taking off their bellybands. This scene is very imaginative.But Fengbei knew that Zheng Xiu should not be a person who indulges in pleasure, so he tiptoed behind Zheng Xiu curiously.

"Jiyou?"

When Feng Bei couldn't help but make a suspicious voice behind him, Zheng Xiu noticed Feng Bei's existence.He glared fiercely at Zhi Zhi, who was secretly having fun at the sidelines and watching the fun, and said, "I'll clean you up later!" Zheng Xiu's eyes revealed such lines, and he coughed twice, with a calm expression on his face , virtuous like a holy Buddha, said softly: "Put it on."

Yin Qingqing obediently re-tied the little red string of her bellyband, and turned around.Jing Xuemei fetched a big cloak to put on Yin Qingqing, and gave Zhizhi a stare: "Don't make trouble."

Feng Bei counted on his fingers, and whispered next to Zheng Xiu: "It's very close to Ding Wei."

What made her puzzled and surprised was not that Yin Qingqing was a stranger.

She has seen a lot of strange people these days.

Monk and Zheng Xiu are.

What she wondered was that Yin Qingqing's "number" was very close to hers in ranking.

"Time Demon." Zheng Xiu said, Feng Bei had stayed in Ye Weiyang for many years, and when he heard it, he showed a look of sudden enlightenment.She had evidently heard of this seldom-traveled avenue.

At this time, Zheng Xiu finally became interested in Yin Qingqing.

Of course, it's not the kind of interest in the sense of men and women, but an interest in the "time demon" sect itself.

This is a novel "gateway" that has never been seen before. Zheng Xiu is very curious about Yin Qingqing's thaumaturgy.

Based on what she said, at the age of 35, she can grow into an appearance in her early twenties. Could it be that the time demon is really capable of living up to her name, abducting people's time and time?

Zheng Xiudang even said that he wanted to see Yin Qingqing's alien thaumaturgy.At first Yin Qingqing was taken aback when she heard the words, first she lowered her head and remained silent. Zheng Xiu also smiled to see that she was silent. In the silence, Yin Qingqing sighed softly. She lowered her eyebrows and pointed at the squeaky zither and said: " Please allow the servants to borrow my sister's zither."

"Call me sister." Zhi Zhi stretched out his underdeveloped pectoralis major, and said in disbelief: "In everything, first come first, first come first, whoever comes first is the elder sister."

Zheng Xiu acquiesced.

Yin Qingqing's face was calm, she didn't show any displeasure because of Zhizhi's intentional difficulty, she stepped back and said, "Sister Zhizhi, please borrow the piano."

Squeaky and generous to say yes.

I saw Yin Qingqing stretched out her hand and rubbed it on her fair arm, and this rubbing removed a piece of thin human skin the size of a fingernail.Like a wriggling bug, that piece of human skin spun in Yin Qingqing's palm and suddenly grew bigger.

"go."

Yin Qingqing took a step forward, under the surprised eyes of everyone, the "human skin" spinning in her palm suddenly turned into a "curtain" with a faint gray mist, covering the zither with long arms, blinking it Packed into a package.

The package shrank strangely at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally shrunk to the size of a fingernail. Yin Qingqing held one in the palm of her hand, and the squeaking zither disappeared in Yin Qingqing's palm.

From Yin Qingqing's rubbing of human skin to the disappearance of the zither, the whole process was just a breath away. Zheng Xiu suspected that if Yin Qingqing hadn't slowed down for "demonstration", she would be able to "abduct" the zither at a faster speed.

"Can it be used on people?"

Zheng Xiu's breath was stagnant, he knew very well that Yin Qingqing's hesitation was because thaumaturgy should not be easily revealed in front of others.She finally decided to show her hand, because she accepted her fate and wanted Zheng Xiu to rest assured of herself.

As the so-called trust is mutual, Yin Qingqing first handed over her trust in Zheng Xiu.

Yin Qingqing nodded: "Yes."

After a while, she released the squeaking zither. The "release" process is exactly the same as the "receive" process. A "human skin package" the size of a fingernail instantly becomes larger, and the human skin spits out the zither like a big mouth.

"Come on, try it on me!"

Zheng Xiu pointed at himself curiously.

Yin Qingqing could no longer maintain a calm expression, it was difficult.

The Zhizhi four were even more surprised.

Qing Shisan, who was secretly listening to the song on the eaves, turned over and landed, and appeared at the entrance of the hall without a sound, exhaling smoke rings, and said softly: "Master, you can't put yourself in danger."

Shadows swayed on the wall.

"Nothing is true, nothing is allowed," the Brotherhood chants in unison.

For a moment, because of Zheng Xiu's words, the entire Zheng family suddenly felt a little more tense from the peace at the beginning.

They were afraid that Zheng Xiu would be abducted by the "time demon".

Feng Bei took off his gloves silently, looked at Yin Qingqing: "What did you do to him?"

Yin Qingqing didn't know at this time, if she answered wrongly, she would face a thunderous blow from Zheng's "nuclear bomb", her face became a little flustered, and she quickly knelt down: "No servant!"

Zheng Xiu was stunned by everyone's overreaction for a moment, and was secretly moved while dumbfounded.It seems that when the emperor sent Yin Qingqing here, it was like throwing a little she-wolf into a pack of tigers. Zheng Xiu himself thought it was nothing, but his brothers were cautious about it, for fear that the little she-wolf would secretly toss her Their Tiger King.

Thinking about it carefully, Master Zheng should like this tune.Looking at eighteen, it is actually 35, eighteen years old, eighteen years old, eighteen nights.Just thinking about it is exciting.

Qing Shisan also thought the same way, and while being vigilant, he couldn't help sighing: the emperor is really accurate in seeing people.

"It's okay. You just watch, she really dares to do something to me. With you guys here, what trouble can she make? Besides, I believe that she will not be so stupid, and I also believe that the emperor will not be so confused." Zheng Xiu smiled. He waved his hands to the others and squeezed Feng Bei's hand.

Zheng Xiu and Feng Bei's petty actions were seen in Yin Qingqing's eyes, Yin Qingqing's pupils trembled, but she had heard that Feng Bei's hand was like a magic sword without a sheath, anyone who touched it could be chopped into ashes.But why can Master Zheng be so close to Feng Bei, and treat that terrible "ominous" as nothing?

At Zheng Xiu's request, Yin Qingqing, who was in a messed up mood, gritted her teeth, then performed the natural alien technique, rubbed a piece of human skin, and carefully patted Zheng Xiu.

The rotating human skin was enlarged first, and it was covered with gray mist.As the "human skin" approached, Zheng Xiu suddenly felt itchy on his forehead, as if something was about to burst out.Snapped!Yin Qingqing's hand slapped Zheng Xiu's body, and the human skin the size of a fingernail fell to the side weakly.

Yin Qingqing was stunned.

Feng Bei was taken aback.

Qing Shisan choked on the smoke.

Several brothers fell from the wall.

In the awkward silence, Zheng Xiu leaned over to pick up the little piece of human skin.The human skin gradually turned into a fine powder in his hands, and it dissipated completely when he blew on it.He glanced at Yin Qingqing who was bewildered and panicked, and then said to Qing Shisan: "You can accompany Qingqing and report to the emperor in the palace. By the way, I will meet the brothers who know the secret department, and they may be the brothers and feet department in the future." .”

Qing Shisan was smoking a cigarette silently, thinking about the deep meaning of the master's words, and soon he figured out that he was inseparable, and accepted the order with a smile.

"Wait."

Before going out, Zheng Xiu remembered something, and said to Yin Qingqing in a serious tone: "Since the emperor entrusted you to me, you will be my Zheng family's people from now on."

Yin Qingqing lowered her head: "I understand."

"In the future, wherever I tell you to go, you can go there."

"Yes."

"When I want to come, you can't refuse."

Yin Qingqing was stunned for a moment, misunderstood, her eyes were miserable, she gritted her teeth and agreed: "Your servant understands."

The moment Yin Qingqing agreed.

A line of thin small characters appeared in front of Zheng Xiu's eyes.

[You found the station.You can reach "post station · time demon · Jiyou · Yin Qingqing". 】

[Station: Yin Qingqing, I agree with your entry. 】

[You have obtained permission to enter the station. 】

[You can enter the station to stay at any time. 】

Zheng Xiu, who was inexplicably happy to mention the new post station, did not notice Yin Qingqing's dull expression as if accepting his fate, and Yin Qingqing followed Qing Shisan out in a daze.

Zheng Xiu took the opportunity to calm down, closed his eyes, and looked at Xinyi Station before talking.

The scenery in the heart is still the same, Zheng Xiu didn't stop, and went straight to the game table.The middlemost position on the game table seemed a bit crowded.

After all, [Station Fengbei] is also at the same location.

Next to the [Stay Station Fengbei] mini-doll, there is a big-headed girl with her eyes closed, wearing a red bellyband, with a sad face.Zheng Xiu was taken aback, why did the station wear a bellyband?

【Station】Yin Qingqing
【Affinity】Master and servant

【Access】Time Demon (Jiyou)

[Air Luck] Turn bad luck into good luck
【Physical】
"The winding path leads to seclusion...?"

Are you talking about...the station?
Zheng Xiu poked open [Post Station Fengbei] to take a look.He poked in at this time and saw that [Station Fengbei] introduced that there have been many changes after the incident of the cannibal painting.

【Station】Fengbei

【Affinity】Adore

[Access] Executioner (Ding Wei)
【Air Luck】The lone star of Tiansha

【Physical】Splendid palace

Zheng Xiu was dumbfounded.

Poke the monk again, and it has changed.

【Station】Hua Hua

【Affinity】Friends of life and death

【Access】Ascetic Monk (Renchen)
【Air Luck】Fuxing shines brightly

【Physical】Boundless

The monk's [Stay Station] was "Unnamed". Since the cannibal painting, he has found himself again and turned back to "Huahua".

[Station Huahua]'s physique skyrocketed to "endless as far as the eye can see".

"The winding path leads to seclusion, the palace is brilliant, and the horizon is endless."

This seems to be a literal distinction between "size".

To put it simply, Fengbei has grown bigger, Monk has grown wider, and Yin Qingqing... is still young?
Zheng Xiu thinks it should be so understood.

Not difficult to understand.

For a moment, Zheng Xiu had a strange expression and opened his eyes again.In the description of Yin Qingqing's [post station], the word "master and servant" in the column of "Affinity" made Zheng Xiu believe that Yin Qingqing recognized the status of "master and servant" from the bottom of his heart.Feng Bei didn't know that Zheng Xiu secretly studied her scale again, and his eyes were still looking at the back of Yin Qingqing who had left.

After leaving the hall, while waiting for Yin Qingqing to change clothes, Qing Shisan squatted on the wall, and a whistle came from another part of Zheng's house, it was Ji Hongou.When Qing Shisan heard it, he pricked up his ears.

Ji Hongou first wondered why Qing Shisan took a girl out. After Qing Shisan explained, Ji Hongou asked for leave, saying that the person at home was unwell.Thinking of Ji Hongou's current situation, Qing Shisan inexplicably felt a little anxious, replied casually, and then fell into silence.

"Take a step to speak."

After Qing Shisan and Yin Qingqing left, Feng Bei took Zheng Xiu back to the room.

The movement between the two of them was no surprise to the others, they couldn't stop snickering, but were silently sad.It was a kind of sadness called "the master was pushed away by someone".

"Isn't your 'prisoner' a natural way to overcome 'foreigners'?"

Feng Bei's eyes were burning, and she rarely showed such an expression in front of Zheng Xiu: "This can explain why you can touch my ominous, and why Yin Qingqing's alienation technique is ineffective for you."

Zheng Xiu shook his head: "It's not completely invalid." He touched the pimple on his forehead, thoughtfully: "Just now my weird thing moved."

"Did you do it on purpose?" Fengbei warned with a worried look on his face, "Next time, you have to be more careful, and don't accidentally expose your real way. Once you let Zhu know that you restrain others, Zhu may be reckless against you. You do it."

"I really didn't expect it at first, so it turned out to be the reason."

Prisoner, prisoner of strange things, prisoner of strangers, prisoner of self.Zheng Xiu softly assured Feng Bei: "I will show up as a 'painter' in the future. Who would have thought that a person can possess several thaumaturgy in his body."

"Don't forget the monk." Since that incident, Fengbei has followed Zheng Xiu's example and affectionately called the monk "monk".

"That's right," Zheng Xiu was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "The monk is also, it is quite miraculous to develop a variety of thaumaturgy with the power of one person."

The two sat by the bed and chatted quietly.

Fengbei: "Why are you so interested in strangers?"

Zheng Xiu raised an index finger, mysteriously: "Guess?"

Feng Bei thought for a while, looked at the face in front of him that deserved a beating, and soon figured it out: "Could it be that you want to hurry up before the 'candle', and try to 'collect' as many strangers as possible?"

Fengbei hesitated for a while before using the word "collection".

Yes, she feels that Zheng Xiu is "collecting" strangers now.

"You come with me."

Zheng Xiu led Feng Bei to the study.

After closing the door tightly, Feng Bei glanced at the covered "statue" from time to time, and the more he glanced, the softer his gaze became.

Ignoring Feng Bei who was looking at the unfinished statue alone, Zheng Xiu tidied up the table, spread out a piece of white paper, first wrote the word "Prisoner" on it, and marked "Jiazi" next to "Prisoner".

He also drew many blank lines under the prisoners, for a total of 48 lines.

Zheng Xiu remembered the illusion that appeared in front of his eyes when he became a "Prisoner" on the first day.That huge eyeball that looked like a scorching sun, 49 rays of light escaped after the eyeball exploded.

Everything happens for a reason.

"You have been in Yeweiyang for many years, and you must have learned a lot of ways, so try to fill them in."

Feng Bei obediently took the pen from Zheng Xiu's hand, hung it for a moment, but couldn't start.

"The order is not important, you can fill in backwards and sort by the heavenly stems and earthly branches."

Fengbei thought for a while, then tried to fill in.According to the impression, he filled in a series of "doorways" on the white paper.

[God Tune Witch], [Orchid], [Root Door], [Thousand Gate Generals], [Time Demon]...

From time to time, Zheng Xiu added based on his experience over the years: "The executioner is Ding Wei, the man who credits the knife is Yisi, the ascetic is Renchen, the monster of the time is Jiyou... By the way, the painter is Wuzi."

"There are also corpse-sewers, skillful hands, wanderers, official messengers, actors, officials, townspeople, chess players, literati..."

After Fengbei filled in a few, Zheng Xiu's inspiration erupted, with a strange light in his eyes, he grabbed Fengbei's pen, and filled in the blanks casually, muttering to himself while filling in:

"Have you noticed that the birth of the way is not so much in accordance with the 'order' of following the rules, but rather in accordance with people's 'cognition'. The upper, middle and lower ranks clearly correspond to the common people's cognition, their impression of this profession .”

As Zheng Xiu wrote on the white paper, it gradually became full, but it also left many gaps.

"There are countless forks hidden in each doorway."

"The portal, rather than being born with the approach of the ever-darkness, I think it is more like the manifestation of a human 'wish'."

"Chang An realized this 'wish'."

"Just like a child, when he was a child, he dreamed of flying high in the sky. It was this pure 'wish'."

"I've always been curious about which path 'Arvenist' belongs to."

"Later, I had a flash of inspiration and thought about it. Is there a possibility that the crowman is not a way for 'humans' to go?"

Zheng Xiu stopped writing, pointed to the large blank space between [Prisoner] and [Painter], and circled it.

"There is a large blank here, is it possible that there is a doorway that non-humans can dream of and walk?"

"Like...others?"

Fengbei's thinking is limited to this era, and he cannot come up with such bizarre ideas like Zheng Xiu.But under Zheng Xiu's explanation, she also quickly figured out the joints.

"You mean..."

Feng Bei suddenly remembered something, and grabbed Zheng Xiu's arm in shock.

The two looked at each other, and after a moment of silence, they had a tacit understanding and remembered the same thing.

Say one word in unison:
"cat!"

　Push a book, you will know the title, read it and cherish it!
