The Dao dies but I live on, the spiritual energy dries up but I remain evergreen

The magistrate of Linwu County has disappeared.

Some people guessed that he was eaten by a tiger, while others guessed that he accidentally fell into a ravine.

Until the body is found, nothing is certain.

The government organized the county’s residents into search teams, which went into the nearby mountains and forests for rescue.

in short.

Live to see people, die to see corpses.

The search and rescue team was so huge that the originally bustling market had become deserted.

The four men who returned from hunting the tiger that day became popular targets that everyone was vying for.

The whole county was in uproar.

There was only one swordsman, watching coldly, as if it had nothing to do with him.

A few days later.

The magistrate's body was found.

The area was crowded with people, and people were trying their best to get a glimpse of what was going on inside.

There were occasional sarcastic remarks from outside the venue.

Although the county magistrate of Linwu County governed the county fairly well, he was still an official and it was inevitable that he would oppress the people on a daily basis.

When he died at this moment, most people were just watching the fun, and not many were truly sad.

The coroner in Linwu County was a middle-aged man.

He came in a hurry carrying a wooden box.

Hearing that the county magistrate was killed unexpectedly and it was a major case of attacking and killing an official, he dared not be negligent. If he was not careful, he would be implicated.

The coroner's technique is professional.

Sheep gut gloves on her hands.

The first step was not to rush to perform an autopsy, but to walk around the body several times, observing its body shape and the surrounding environment.

Finally, he leaned over, pinched the corpse's mouth open, fanned the air with his hand, and sniffed gently.

"It's not poisoning."

He said to his assistant beside him.

The assistant looked 70% similar to the coroner.

They look like a father and son, and the son will inherit the father's business in the future.

The coroner continued to deal with the body.

The sword mark on the neck is very obvious. The throat was cut by one sword. The murderer must be a martial arts master!

Even if you guessed the fatal injury.

But the key to an autopsy is not to miss any details, even if that detail may be useless.

Half a quarter of an hour passed.

The coroner slowly stood up, stretched his muscles, and then began to strip off the county magistrate's clothes.

First he unbuttoned his shirt.

The coroner was surprised. He didn't expect the county magistrate to be so tall and muscular, as if he had practiced martial arts before.

"Ok?"

"Ok?"

Sudden.

The coroner and a swordsman who was watching noticed the same thing at the same time.

After crawling away from clothes.

In the exposed skin of the upper body.

Approximately at the position of the belly button, there is a lump of flesh on both sides, extending out and extending towards the lower back.

These lumps of meat are very dense.

Looks a bit creepy.

Li Changxiao seemed to be thinking about something, and after he had driven away his drunkenness, he looked more seriously.

He had not noticed before that the county magistrate had such a thing on him.

Li Changxiao recalled that the county magistrate once told him that his health condition did not seem to be very good and he could not withstand the backlash of the incense.

At first, Li Changxiao didn't take this seriously.

But now when I think back on it, I feel like something is a little off.

The backlash of incense is indeed serious, bad luck is entangled, and the life span is passing faster...

But the county magistrate's words implied that if the incense backfired, it would immediately cost him his life.

Why is this?

When Li Changxiao thought of this, his doubts deepened.

At this time, the coroner turned the county magistrate over.

The lumps of flesh spread all over the back, almost forming a circle, with only about two fingers' distance left.

There were cries of surprise from the crowd, and some timid women simply dared not watch the scene.

The coroner called the county magistrate's personal maid and asked about the situation.

The maid was a little scared, but with the coroner's comfort, she successfully told the information she knew.

The county magistrate has had this problem for a long time. Every day at noon and midnight, he would roll over in pain.

At night, the master would always change his temper, like a completely different person...

Li Changxiao was thoughtful. This thing reminded him of a disease...

Long-term illness!

Although there are obvious differences between the two.

Until his death, the county magistrate showed no signs of the insanity he suffered in the Changsheng Cave.

But Li Changxiao felt that there might be some connection between the two.

This gave Li Changxiao an inspiration.

Could long-term illness be related to Buddhism?

The county magistrate was a disciple of Jiuxiang Temple who had returned to secular life.

The leader of the Panlong Sect actually has a close relationship with Buddhism.

As far as Li Changxiao knows, the word "Panlong" in Panlong Sect comes from Buddhism.

The Panlong Sect's famous skill, "Panlong Hand", was modeled after the Buddhist Panlong Seal.

The county magistrate said that he just couldn't bear the backlash of the incense, proving that his illness was related to the incense, and most likely to the temple "Jiuxiang Temple" where he had been before.

in this case……

Perhaps we can find some clues about the longevity disease in Jiuxiang Temple?

Thinking of this.

Li Changxiao became curious about Jiuxiang Temple, perhaps he could find some clues about the disease of longevity there.

……

A quick search.

The cause of the county magistrate's death has been determined, it was the wound on his neck.

There was a miracle doctor in Linwu County who lived on West Street. The coroner asked someone to ask him to come and help check what kind of disease the county magistrate had around his waist.

If it is an infectious disease, then cremation is done.

If not, then bury in a cave.

The miracle doctor looked left and right, but still could not figure it out and did not dare to jump to any conclusion.

He took out a scraper and scraped off the lumps of flesh around the county magistrate's waist one by one and put them in a small bottle.

Then use it for immersion research.

The county magistrate's body was placed in the center of the ancestral hall.

Waiting quietly for the results from the miracle doctor.

On the other hand, the county's constables were also busy, investigating the wanderers who had recently arrived in Linwu County.

A few more days passed.

A scream was heard from inside the ancestral hall.

It turned out that it was a three-year-old child who, out of curiosity, sneaked into the ancestral hall when no one was paying attention.

Lift the white cloth wrapping the body.

The county magistrate's bloody waist was covered with bubbles, like boiling molten lava.

The lump of flesh that was shaved off grew back again.

The child had never seen such a scene.

He was so scared that he peed his pants and cried out for help. Soon, the people around were attracted by the sound and gathered around.

Everyone saw this scene.

I think the county magistrate is going to turn into a zombie and can’t be kept any longer!

So they shouted and wanted to burn the body.

The people in the yamen were also in a dilemma. Finally, they thought that Linwu County was far away from the mountains and rivers, and the outside world was in turmoil, so the emperor could not interfere.

They executed the county magistrate first and reported to the police later, then burned the county magistrate's body to put an end to the matter once and for all.

……

Jiuxiang Temple is not in Lingtianzhou.

As a top-notch force in the world, Jiuxiang Temple has an independent secret realm.

Later, the secret realm was integrated into the mortal world.

Jiuxiang Temple also fell into the vicinity of Lingtianzhou along with the secret realm, and it has been three hundred years.

At this moment, this ancient temple seems to be in danger of a storm.
