Chapter 2 The weird branch of Eyeless Art

Ren Qing’s eyes swelled, and he fell into darkness in a trance.

He couldn’t close his eyes at all, he could only feel the sound of heavy footsteps approaching, coming from the direction he was looking.

Just as the presence in the dark was about to approach.

“officer…”

Ren Qing’s body was pushed and all disappeared.

He opened his eyes and found that the things around him slowed down, and the flies, which were only attracted by the smell of blood, seemed to be able to see the lines on their wings.

Two lines of tears slowly flowed from Ren Qing’s eyes, and his face became more and more terrifying.

Li Mian took a few steps back. They leaned against the wall with their backs. They wanted to retreat, but they didn’t have the slightest strength, so they kept shouting at Ren Qing.

Ren Qing came back to his senses after a few breaths. Although he has already started “Eyeless Art” by consuming life essence, it will take some time for him to master it.

【Ren Qing 】

【age: seventeen】

【life essence: five years and eighty-three days】

【Art: Eyeless Art】

And after he mastered “Eyeless Art”, there seems to be some changes in his mind.

“The qi and blood just went to the brain, and the wind and sand caused the eyes to hurt.”

Ren Qing casually found a reason, the Li Family brother did not ask more, but took the initiative to take more Some physical activity.

People are dying in Sanxiang City every day, and the fireman is unavoidable to contact them, so White Cloth Servant dare not offend the yamen who govern him the most.

Otherwise, if something really happens, I don’t know how to die.

They finished packing up the bookstore, and all that was left was a large patch of dry blood, and it was Dark Scribe’s duty.

The bookstore door is sealed with a seal.

Ren Qing led the Li Family brother out of the alley, and they walked towards the open space where the bodies were stored.

Little Wu waited for a long time, and was anxiously moving around in circles.

The corpse beside him was placed in the most conspicuous place in the morning market, and the sackcloth used to wrap it was soaked with blood.

“Brother Qing…officer, you’re here.”

Little Wu shouted in relief, looking after a corpse on a deserted street at his age. Somewhat difficult.

“Let’s go, I’ve been busy all morning, and I’ll have a good rest when I get back to the yamen.”

Ren Qing’s brows are no longer frowning, and now he’s on the right track, from The pressure on life essence is naturally a lot less.

The four of them chatted across the street and returned to the lively place.

Several knives were standing not far away. Seeing that the body had been disposed of, they ordered nodded with Ren Qing and left.

Chau Kuai is mainly responsible for patrolling the streets in the yamen, and does not need to touch the corpses of tragic deaths, so fireman Dark Scribe cannot avoid envy.

However, the yamen is a service that is passed down from generation to generation, usually passed down from the father to the elder son, and the duties cannot be easily changed.

The predecessor of Ren Qing actually came from a village a hundred miles northwest of Sanxiang City, called Bazi Village.

Originally, he also had an older brother, who died unexpectedly after more than half a year after inheriting the post of yamen from the dead father.

There is no other way, the predecessor Impossible gave up the iron rice bowl that was inherited from generation to generation, and had to go to the Yamen in Sanxiang City to report.

Now, there should still be the former mother in the home of Bazi Village, and Ren Qing also sends some silver money every month.

Ren Qing didn’t have much impression of this, but he put it together from Little Wu’s mouth, and since there were not many opportunities to meet, he was not worried about being recognized.

The four passed through the Western District and came to the center of Sanxiang City, where the Yamen is located.

The main gate has red walls and blue tiles, and a plaque of “Sanxiang County Office” hangs on the gate.

As a town where hundreds of thousands of people live, the scale of the yamen far surpasses the imagination.

The area alone is estimated to be tens of thousands of square meters, including 254 houses. The main gate is divided into East, West, North, and South four, and the area is also divided into four blocks.

Each area has the same building, normally there is no intersection.

Jailor Hall, Jukuai Hall, Fireman Hall, Dark Scribe Hall, Prison Cell, Kitchen Yard, Magistrate’s House, Immortal Buddha Temple, Justice Hall, Martial Training Stage, Sibuzhai…

As a yamen in the Western District, Ren Qing can only go through the main west gate, so he has not contacted other areas so far.

“It’s finally here…”

Little Wu rubbed his wrists, showing a little tiredness on his face.

The human body is as heavy as a rock after death.

Li Family brother did not complain, but his expression relaxed.

“Let’s go.”

Ren Qing sighed helplessly, and his subordinates are the only ones, otherwise there is no need to do rough work.

After entering the yamen, there are many plaques of Mingzhi hanging everywhere, some bright mirrors hanging high, clear as pure water and so on.

Crossing the stone-paved path, you will reach Fireman Hall.

The location of Fireman Hall is slightly remote, and there are several wells in the courtyard, mainly because the furnace is often burned, and it is as far away from people as possible.

There are three Fireman Halls in the Yamen Western Region, each with two blocks of fireman.

Twelve wing rooms unfolded side by side, ending with a morgue and a fireplace near the corner.

The whole stove is made of iron and looks like a hollow bottle gourd. The ingenious design can make it burn for seven or eight hours after putting in wood.

However, in the Fireman Hall where Ren Qing is located, another group of fireman from Hexing Street were temporarily transferred to the outside of the city. It seems that some village was infected with the plague.

Li Family brother placed the corpse of the bookshop shopkeeper in the morgue, and there were more than a dozen corpses in it, all fireman who died with a wicked smile.

The stove can burn three at the same time, but Ren Qing was the only one before, so it was too late to burn the corpse, and now it is a bit rancid.

The new corpse will have to wait a few days.

“You are ready to start the furnace, I’ll go to the room to rest for a while.”

Ren Qing instructed the three of them before returning to the wing.

Li Family brother started moving bodies and lighting firewood, while Little Wu went to the kitchen to get some food, after all, it was noon.

Ren Qing sat cross-legged on the bed, activating the flow of information while closing his eyes.

He felt that the information of “Eyeless Art” began to converge, and then merged into one point, forming an illusory seed.

Consciousness touches the seed, and the seed immediately takes root and sprouts.

The seeds grew three buds, and the pattern on the leaves looked like a weird eye.

When Ren Qing was puzzled, text formed by information appeared on the sprout, and it was accompanied by annotations.

【One-Eyed Person: see through illusions】

【Hundred-Eyed Person: create illusions】

【Dual-Pupil Person: predict enemies first】

He was stunned for a moment, then noticed that each paragraph of text represented a young leaf.

[Whether to choose branch One-Eyed Person, it will consume life essence for 1 year]

Ren Qing tried the other two and found Hundred-Eyed Person and One-Eyed Person The life essence consumed is 1 year, but the Dual-Pupil Person is 1 year and 6 months.

He hesitated for a moment, then chose to cancel the feed.

“Eyeless Art” is very strange, and after choosing a branch, there may be uncontrollable situations.

So it’s not wise for Ren Qing to spend a year on life essence adventures before he has figured out the power system of this world.

He took out “Eyeless Art” from his arms.
