Late in the night, in Room 7 of the East City Crematorium.
Qin He lay on his bedding with his legs crossed and his head resting on his head, humming a tune with a look of ease on his face.
The big turtle stretched out its long neck and tied two knots in the middle.
One knot is tied to the pillar, and the other knot is tied to the bellows rod. The extremely elastic neck stretches and contracts, driving the bellows to blow air.
The fire was burning red and the heat was scorching.
From time to time, it would bend down and pick up the oil ladle and thin-skinned shovel beside it to add some kerosene or coal to the stove.
In order to achieve this effect, Qin He threw all his four power fruits and one golden wound pill into it.
The effect is also quite satisfactory. I haven't tried the turtle swing yet, but burning the corpse is enough.
The big turtle is very energetic. With it taking care of it, the speed of burning the corpse is much faster than that of the Buddha nature.
Soon, the ordinary corpses assigned tonight were incinerated.
It was very ordinary in the past, and was given a skill: Purification.
Odor Purification: By performing this technique, you can remove all odors from the target, the effect varies depending on the target.
Qin He took a look.
Not bad, very practical.
Last time, Xu Changshou said that he smelled like a mixture of corpses and coal, which was very unpleasant.
This time, our Master Qin can also be clean and refreshed.
Learn and perform.
It consumed a little bit of mana.
The effect is quite good, even the smell under the armpits is gone.
After thinking about it, Qin He cast another Purification Technique on the big turtle.
The big turtle smelled of mud, even stronger than himself, but it disappeared this time.
Daily little skills, quite practical.
Although the corpse in shroud is difficult to burn, it is small in size. Judging from the progress, there will be no problem in cremating it before dawn.
Time passed little by little, and when the first hint of dawn appeared on the horizon.
The shroud and body are cremated on time.
The black and white curtain slowly fell, and the shadow puppets performed, and Qin He saw the life of the corpse in the shroud.
The corpse's real name was Ji Wubing, the eldest son of the Ji family in Pingwu County, Long'an Prefecture, Shu. He was born with a disability and was a dwarf. His parents named him "Wubing" in the hope that he would recover from his illness as he grew older.
But dwarfism is a destiny, so how can it be cured?
Ji Wubing was born short and only learned to walk at the age of four. His parents disliked him to begin with, and when they later had a second son named Ji Tianlu, they treated their eldest son Ji Wubing even more coldly.
From then on, the two brothers were treated very differently. Ji Tianlu had the best food, clothing, and other necessities. He held grand banquets for his full moon, first birthday, hair hanging, and crowning ceremonies, entertaining guests and friends, and it was a lively and lively occasion. He was also a handsome man.
Ji Wubing, short, dark, and monkey-like, spent his days hanging out with the servants, eating scraps of food. His parents ignored him and banished him to the woodshed, rarely seeing him for three or five months. It was as if he had disappeared from the family; even the servants and dogs dared to bully him.
But no matter how bad it is, Ji Wubing is studious.
Ji Tianlu's family sent him to a private school, but he was lazy and behaved like a bad boy. He often skipped school and made friends with bad people.
It was Ji Wubing who was eavesdropping behind the wall and became familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics.
The teacher of the private school gradually discovered Ji Wubing who often eavesdropped behind the wall. After asking, he found out that this was actually the eldest son of the Ji family.
The teacher saw that he was studious and could answer a few questions fluently, so he thought he had great potential and let him into the room to listen.
It goes on like this, day after day.
Many years passed, and one of the brothers abandoned his studies, while the other achieved academic success.
With the strong recommendation of his teacher, Ji Wubing passed both the county and prefectural examinations and became a student.
What is a tongsheng?
A tongsheng is a talented person who is preparing to take the imperial examination.
The imperial examination was not something that any ordinary citizen could take. One had to pass the "self-examination" at the county and prefecture levels before being eligible to take it.
Ji Wubing became a student, and the next step would be to become a scholar.
Nowadays, scholars in the Dali Dynasty were not worth much, but they were also serious achievements. If the family had money, they could donate money to become an official and become a ninth-rank official such as the county magistrate or the chief clerk.
Moreover, at such a young age, he is well-versed in literature and has won the favor of a woman who has secretly fallen in love with her.
This woman came from a concubine's house of a wealthy family. Her mother was a prostitute and she was not welcomed at home. Her name was Gu Xiaoyue.
The two people had similar experiences, and they appreciated each other and became closer. After getting to know each other, they decided to spend their lives together.
At this point, it can be said that Ji Wubing's life has hope.
But the greater the hope, the deeper the suffering.
There is hope for Ji Wubing, but what about Ji Tianlu?
Ji Tianlu saw that his disabled brother was clearly trying to seize the family property.
If one passes the imperial examination and wants to become an official, he has to donate a large sum of money. With the Ji family's wealth, it would be at least half of their family wealth.
His parents had promised him that after they passed away, all their wealth would be inherited by him and Ji Wubing would not be entitled to a penny.
Ji Tianlu counted on his fingers and realized that he was exchanging his own things for his brother's status.
What happens after the change?
My elder brother is the eldest son, and there has always been an order of seniority since ancient times. So should the remaining family wealth be given to myself or to my elder brother?
It's the same thing.
Ji Tianlu thought over and over again, no, I have to kill this brother.
He is a waste so he can survive, but if he dares to show up, he will die.
I used to bully him a lot, it was either him or me.
So, just as Ji Wubing was on his way to take the exam, several desperate criminals hired by Ji Tianlu took action.
Ji Wubing's pleas for mercy were in vain. His limbs were broken and he was thrown into the river and drowned.
Ji Wubing died, and his body floated along the river for a day and a night before he came back to life.
It wasn't a zombie, but an encounter with a strange person.
The stranger gave him two choices, one was to fend for himself, the other was to accept the technique of rebirth by breaking his body. After the technique was completed, he was allowed to take revenge.
Ji Wubing had all his limbs broken, so he had no choice. Adding to his overwhelming resentment, he agreed.
This response will lead to three years of suffering.
What the strange people call the art of rebirth after a severed body is actually the art of corpse refining.
Or refining corpses from living people.
The process will not be described in detail, but in short, during those three years, Ji Wubing was tortured into a half-human, half-corpse state. He could still maintain a little lucidity during the day, but turned into a manic monster at night.
Three years later, the corpse refining was slightly successful and blood was about to be seen.
Yi Ren brought Ji Wubing back to the Ji family.
Ji Wubing begged for mercy and let Yiren take him away.
Because he knew that once it got dark, he would become extremely ferocious and the entire Ji family would be killed.
Ji Tianlu deserves to die, but he still has parents at home.
At this point, Ji Wubing still had a trace of emotion and humanity, and did not want his relatives to suffer.
But Yi Ren came here just to wipe out the last bit of humanity in Ji Wubing, so how could he agree to that?
As night fell, Ji Wubing struggled to resist the violence in his heart, until... he saw a man.
Who?
Gu Xiaoyue.
Gu Xiaoyue was holding a child in her arms, who looked exactly like Ji Tianlu. Ji Tianlu was teasing the child beside her, and the family of three was having a great time.
It turned out that after Ji Wubing disappeared, Gu Xiaoyue was sad for more than half a year and had also looked for Ji Wubing, but people have to live after all, and time will dilute everything. Gu Xiaoyue has reached the age to get married.
Ji Tianlu came to the house, firstly because he thought Gu Xiaoyue was pretty, and secondly because he had a somewhat pathological mentality.
Gu Xiaoyue was reluctant in her heart, but since it was her parents' order and the matchmaker's words, how could she resist?
Gu Xiaoyue married Ji Tianlu. Three years later, she had a family and children, and gradually forgot about Ji Wubing completely.
This was understandable, but in the eyes of Ji Wubing, who had already become half human and half corpse, it became a knife that cut off his last trace of clarity.
He suffered from cold stares and studied hard, but his bright future was interrupted. He turned himself into a half-human, half-corpse monster, and the evil man who killed him... was enjoying the family happiness that belonged to him.
In his ferocious state, none of the thirty-six members of the Ji family survived.
That night, Ji Wubing held the dead Gu Xiaoyue and wailed all night long.
What followed was a fight between Feiyuwei and Yiren for him, which is not described here. In the end, he was released from the East City mass grave by Qin He.
The shadow lights captured the soul, the judgment was weighed, and the black-robed man spoke with golden words: "Born in misfortune, it is destined by fate. Death is hard to seek and suffer. Mistakes made in life are hard to redress. How can I complain in the palace of Hades? How miserable is it."
