Chapter 4, the corpse ran with long legs

It is feared that under normal cultivation circumstances, once a practitioner without vision attempts to use human sight, they are likely to become deeply ensnared and unable to extricate themselves.

Ren Qing stared at the figure, barely able to make it out clearly

Xiao Wu gritted his teeth and replied: "It's nothing, Qing Ge'er"

The damp dew falls upon them through the leaves, and the cold gradually seeps into their bones

Aqing, there is no need for money.

Butcher Zhang wrapped half a pound of pig eyes in oiled paper, wiped his hands on his apron, and then handed it to Ren Qing

Half a stick of incense later

His eyes were slightly red, and the fear he encountered during his training temporarily granted him a great heart

The pig's eye transformed into heat within the abdomen, quickly spreading throughout the body, and a refreshing sensation surged to the heart

Within the courtyard walls of the Fireworks Workshop, wisps of white smoke are drifting, indicating that Li Mian and his companions have begun to incinerate a new batch of corpses

Ren Qing sat down on the spot

The corpse was already in a state of disrepair, with a few pieces of burlap still faintly clinging to it. Its eyes were particularly vacant and hollow, with drops of blood-like tears streaming down.

Ren Qing stuffed the pig's eyes entirely into his stomach, and the taste made him roll his eyes in disgust

It is quite simple to verify; one only needs to inquire whether anyone in Sanxiang City has recently had their eyes gouged out to clarify the matter

At this moment, the sky is faintly brightening, and if I do not return to the forge soon, I am likely to be discovered

The information indicates that butcher Zhang has another fifteen years of lifespan, and he has not mastered any techniques, which indeed has nothing to do with the method of no eyes

Fortunately, the pig's eyes provided by Zhang the butcher were relatively fresh, which did not cause any discomfort to the body

The pig's eye is quickly digested

The two individuals followed the bloodstains, turning this way and that. The location of the Fireworks Workshop was already quite remote, but the direction indicated by the corpse was even more secluded

As soon as she entered, Ren Qing pinched her own waist firmly with her fingers to maintain her composure

Brother Qing, then...

Ren Qing smiled and declined, taking out some small change and forcefully stuffing it into Zhang the butcher's hand, while intentionally or unintentionally brushing against the other party.

Ren Qing hurriedly followed the trail of blood, but before leaving the courtyard, he turned back into the house to grab a handful of pig's eyes

Ren Qingxin was taken aback, disregarding the sweat all over her body, and even lacking the time to check the change in her lifespan after swallowing the pig's eye, she directly opened the door and rushed out.

His connections within the government office are indeed quite limited

The corpse has come to life!

Ren Qingxin resolutely said, "Xiao Wu, you come with me to find that corpse. Li Mian and Li Heng, you stay here and keep watch. Remember, do not act rashly."

Having just traversed half the distance, the corpse exhibited unusual movements again

Ren Qing was immediately awakened, as the surrounding darkness receded like a tide, with cold sweat on his back due to his cultivation.

Damn it

Ren Qing sighed, opened his eyes, and pressed his temples in silence. After a long while, he could not help but mutter to himself.

Bad person

The wooden door of the room was knocked on, and Li Mian's anxious voice came through

As the cultivation deepens, the movements in the darkness become increasingly apparent, as if someone is whispering within it

It seems that the practice of this peculiar technique must be timed appropriately; if one becomes too immersed in it, uncontrollable events are bound to occur

A tall courtyard wall, approximately six to seven meters high, comes into view

The sky was too dark, and Xiao Wu could not see clearly what Ren Qing was eating, only feeling that there was blood around the other person's mouth.

He first soaked the pig's eyes in well water to remove the blood, so as to avoid any difficulty in handling them

Ren Qing glanced at the direction in which the corpse was facing. Could it be that the hidden predator, the Eye of the Abyss, caused the corpse to exhibit signs of unrest?

Ren Qing felt the heat being absorbed by his eyes along the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, resulting in a slight soreness.

Xiao Wu pointed to the corner of the wall, where a figure stood motionless, facing the wall, sending chills down one's spine

This is the outer wall of the Yamen West District

The body of the bookstore owner rose without warning from the morgue and disappeared into the night after just a few steps

Ren Qing, on the other hand, experienced a stark contrast; his mastery of the aimless method was exceedingly brief, to the extent that he could not find his direction

How could that be, Brother Zhang is being too formal

During the first half of the night, the three of them took turns watching over the stove without any issues, but unexpectedly, a problem arose when they were preparing to move the body

Ren Qingzhuang mustered the courage to approach

He circled around the corpse several times, noticing nothing unusual at all. When he pushed it with his arm, it fell to the ground limply.

The Li brothers nodded, their hearts filled with trepidation as they stared at the morgue, not daring to show the slightest negligence

He steadied his mind and shouted towards the door: "What happened?"

Now that the official notice has been given to the yamen, he must take responsibility, and it is very likely that he will no longer be able to serve as a yamen runner. Moreover, with his current strength, he is unable to protect himself in the city of Sanxiang.

He naturally began to practice the No-Eye Technique, and the surroundings were once again shrouded in darkness, with rustling sounds emerging from the corners

Ren Qing had steam rising from his head as he and Xiao Wu carried the corpse one after the other, making their way back to the Fireworks Hall along the same path.

Moreover, the more anxious one feels, the more likely it is to affect their state

Ren Qing greeted and then entered the side room carrying a bucket of well water

Ren Qing found a noodle shop to satisfy his hunger. As the sky gradually darkened, he got up and returned to the yamen.

The remaining corpses of the pyrotechnicians still bore a strange smile, and their eyes opened, gazing at the doorway with an inexplicable expression

Xiao Wu's teeth chattered as he reminded, "Qing Ge'er, the corpse is resting on your shoulder"

What corpse, which one

After a few steps, Li Heng and Xiao Wu quickly stepped aside upon seeing Ren Qing at the door

There was originally a rack indoors used to place the corpse of the bookstore manager, but it is now empty, with burlap scattered around that was used to wrap the body

Li Mian spoke haltingly, frightened

Take it back and we will discuss it later

Ren Qing might as well first try the effect of pig eyes on prolonging life, perhaps he can find an opportunity

Ren Qing snatched the lantern from Li Mian's hand and quickly walked towards the morgue, while listening to Li Mian recount the events.

Then, sitting on the bed, I closed my eyes and fell into meditation

It seems that taking shortcuts also has its drawbacks, as one is unable to enter a state of cultivation for a long time

Ren Qing hesitated whether to end his training, and in that brief moment, the footsteps had already approached within ten meters.

Then let's go

He examined the translucent pig's eye illuminated by the moonlight streaming in through the window, hesitated for a moment, and then directly tossed it into his mouth, his face turning bright red

Under normal circumstances, after swallowing the eyeball, one will experience darkness at all times for forty-nine days, after which visualization becomes exceedingly easy

Ren Qing had his back turned to the corpse, thus he did not notice that the corpse's hands had already swung around to his neck, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

What should I do, Brother Qing?

It is the one brought at noon, and the other corpses also seem somewhat off...

Ren Qingsong let out a sigh, yet felt a sense of apprehension.

Ren Qing's brows furrowed unconsciously as the familiar sound of footsteps reemerged, gradually approaching him

From "The Law of No Eyes," one can discern the high regard that the Hundred-Eyed Old Monk has for the human eye

Ren Qing carefully examined with the enhanced vision granted by the blind method, and he discovered a series of blood footprints extending from the morgue to the outside.

Ren Qing turned to Xiao Wu and asked, "Are you alright?"

After spending a few moments, Ren Qing finally managed to swallow it down with great difficulty, the lingering foul taste still in his mouth, nearly causing him to vomit it back up
