Chapter 251 Living Burial
After reading the statement, Tang Ke handed it over to the suspect. The two statements were placed in front of Su Yuanming, and he still closed his eyes as if not cooperating.
"This is the confession of you and Cao Liuying's parents, don't you want to read it?"
Hearing the word "parents", Su Yuanming had to open his eyes to see, a flash of anger flashed in his eyes, his gaze became more gloomy in the confession, and said: "This has nothing to do with my parents."
"Thirty articles of the Qin Law Public Security Law, it is the duty of every citizen and social organization to cooperate with the government's investigation."
Tang Ke's words made Su Yuanming's words that were about to blurt out choked in his throat. Legitimacy and legality are a very terrible weapon.
“.”
Seeing that the other party chose to keep silent again, Tang Ke continued unhurriedly: "You can keep silent, this is the right granted to you by Qin Fa, but we can also use evidence to make Tingwei make a judgment. If you are not doing it for yourself Excuse me, Mr. Su Yuanming is sorry that we treat you as a criminal and conduct a soul search."
"What do you mean by Soul Search?"
"Literally, look directly at your memory with some supernatural power."
“.”
Su Yuanming's eyes widened, and suddenly a strong chill mixed with anxiety welled up in his heart, and the anxiety and fear were completely expressed on his face.
His reaction was not beyond Tang Ke's expectations, it was the same for anyone when they first learned about Soul Search. This has nothing to do with ordinary people or officials. No one wants others to see their memories.
This is a complete trample on people's privacy and personality.
At this time, a ray of sunlight came in from the window, through the iron guardrail of the interrogation room. Unknowingly, a day and a night have passed, Su Yuanming didn't feel warm because of the sunshine, but his hands and feet became colder.
"Since you can read my memory, why did it take so long with me? What crime is it just to check my memory?"
"Soul search is equivalent to a death sentence for ordinary people. What do you think of the government? A terrorist organization? A cult?" Tang Ke interrupted. She is not interested in watching people refute herself one by one like filming a TV series.
"Mr. Su Yuanming, at least now you are still a legal citizen. While Qin Fa locked you here, he was also protecting your legal rights. Let me ask you again, what happened three years ago?"
“.”
Su Yuanming lowered his head slightly, and Tang Ke was not in a hurry to force the other party. She glanced at the time and it was already 6 o'clock in the morning, and the soul-searching monks would arrive here in three hours.
The government has given him time. If he doesn't cooperate, he can only take coercive measures. Whether he can survive depends entirely on his luck. Generally speaking, the strength of the soul of ordinary people cannot bear the soul search. In severe cases, they will die on the spot, and in the lightest cases, they will become dementia.
Time passed by 1 minute and 1 second, and there was a faint quarrel outside, which was the voice of Su Yuanming's parents.
"I said."
Su Yuanming uttered these two words, and his whole body was like a deflated ball, slumped on a chair.
The policeman in charge of recording the statement put his hand on the keyboard of the notebook. Tang Ke was neither sad nor happy about the other party's calmness, and leaned forward slightly and asked: "The first question, how did Cao Liuying become like this?"
"I remember reading a sentence that says that a person dies three times in his life, physical, cognitive, and memory. The body is dead, confirmed dead by others, and completely forgotten by others. I remembered, It is a foreign book."
Su Yuanming spoke leisurely, squinting at the ceiling, as if his mind was wandering into the sky. Tang Ke didn't feel anything unusual, but still sent a message on his mobile phone to alert people outside.
"I have known Xiao Cao since elementary school. We are not childhood sweethearts. We just happened to be in the same class for six years in elementary school and six years in high school. I only started talking to her when I was handing in my homework..."
"I'm not here to hear about your love history." Tang Ke interrupted, and now there are records outside that 30 people have come back to life. No casualties have been caused so far, but such a strange phenomenon has made the government highly nervous.
That's why Cao Liuying's suspected first case of being brought back to life is so important.
"No, this is very important." Su Yuanming shook his head, "Can you give me a copy of Changchun Gong? I can explain it to you by reading the book."
The promotion of Changchun Gong in Qin has not been hindered in any way. Now there are 500 million copies of printed books alone. Government agencies such as the police station are naturally needed.
The Changchun Gong in the blue book cover is placed in Su Yuanming, and he opened the chapter on cultivating the mind.
"Dao has no form, and the heart is better than things. I didn't understand why before, but after reading this book, I understood a little bit. I thought Xiao Cao was not dead, so she didn't die, but my parents thought she was dead, so she It starts to rot."
"So she didn't die, so we need to explain our relationship, hehe, maybe we can win your sympathy?"
Yin and Yang are confused, life and death are not distinguished.
This idea immediately popped up in Tang Ke's mind. She is familiar with various cultivation classics and can see the essence of things more clearly.
"Then how did you make her like this?"
"Huangquan, the wind suddenly blew up on the river that day, and the boat swayed. The two of us accidentally fell down. I saw a glowing hole in the water with the word Huangquan written on it. Then I passed out and waited. When I woke up, I was in the hospital."
Tang Ke glanced at the information in the notebook, and the matter of the two falling into the water has just been investigated. Three years ago, when the two took a boat to play in Luoshui, they fell into the water one after another due to the sudden strong wind and the structural problems of the boat.
Su Yuanming was picked up quickly, while Cao Liuying took about half an hour.
Generally speaking, she would die within 5 minutes of falling into the water, and her brain would have been necrotic in half an hour, but Cao Liuying miraculously survived. Since the person responsible for rescuing them was a well-meaning person on the same boat, and no one died, this incident was not reported.
This information was also learned from the population of the year.
"Then what happened to your two parents' statements?"
"If you can't hide it from them, you will naturally have to make up a reason. Don't you go home during Chinese New Year holidays? If you don't see anyone for a year, your father-in-law and mother-in-law will definitely call the police, so you will be exposed faster."
Su Yuanming's answer, Tang Ke tentatively believed it.
"Tomorrow you will take me to the place where I fell into the water, and we need to experiment with the rules you said."
"How to experiment?"
"Tell your parents that Cao Liuying is just sick."
Su Yuanming was stunned for a moment, and then a look of hope appeared in his dead eyes.
—————
At noon, Cao Liuying was lying in the company's infirmary with bandages all over her body. The government used a special kind of incense to cover up the smell on her body, and added a large hospital gown, so she couldn't be seen with the naked eye. different.
The parents of Cao Liuying and his wife were invited to tell them that Cao Liuying was suffering from a rare cancer, and the government was willing to provide free treatment as a research record.
Fudged by various medical experts invited by the government, the parents of the two began to be dubious. Then the government asked some medical research institutes to publish a study called "Human body function decay and rot disease". Taking Cao Liuying as an example, they began to publicize it in the society.
Symptom one, not eating for a long time.
Symptom 2, skin diseases similar to corpse spots appear on the body.
Symptom three, the body emits a strong odor.
Under the powerful propaganda machine of the government, this disease spread all over the Internet in just a few hours. The subsequent chain reaction was that more than a dozen patients with the same symptoms came to the hospital for inquiries, and all of them were confirmed to have died for many days after examination.
Most of the elderly people suddenly found that they couldn’t eat, and they concentrated on the coast of Luoshui in the past week. Without exception, these people were all transferred to the hospital under the name of the company, where they were strictly guarded.
Resurrection from the dead has now been named by the government as a living corpse, which is a more appropriate description.
The government observed 50 people who turned into living corpses. Although they haven't figured out the reason yet, they can determine one of the factors that formed them. One is that they don't know that they are dead, and the other is that there are people who miss them.
If they don’t think that they can live forever after they die, then the social structure of human beings will be subverted in the future. For example, family planning will reappear in China, and perhaps a hundred years from now, children will be born through a lottery.
The bandage fell onto the bed sheet, and a rather beautiful face came into view, without corpse spots or rotting flesh.
"this!"
"It can really be recovered."
"It's incredible to be sane in the state of a living corpse."
Everyone was in an uproar, and all the officially invited experts and monks stared wide-eyed. This scene was transmitted to Xianyang through the camera, which also aroused the exclamation of the senior officials of the temple.
Eternal life seems to be within reach.
As long as everyone does not think that the cessation of bodily functions is death, then everyone can live forever. There is no need to use substances to maintain life activities, so even a society of great harmony in the world can be realized.
"Xiao Cao." Su Yuanming's excited voice began to tremble.
"Who are you?"
Cao Liuying showed doubts. Her simple sentence shattered people's dream of eternal life.
"It's me, I'm Su Yuanming, don't you remember?"
"Oh, Su Yuanming, why have you become so old? You look like a 30-year-old uncle. Where is this place? Too bad I haven't finished my homework. It's over. Have you finished the homework assigned by Su Yuanming's old class? Let me copy it. "
"Don't make trouble, Xiao Cao, it's me. We've been married for many years."
"Su Yuanming, are you sick?"
Su Yuanming took half a step back, as if his whole body had been sucked out of his soul.
Tang Ke stepped forward and asked, "Student Cao Liuying, how old are you this year?"
Cao Liuying saw that the other party was wearing a military uniform, and his expression became obviously stiff, so he replied very honestly:
"17 years old."
Cao Liuying was born in 51, and this year is 82.
Tang Ke asked a few more questions. Cao Liuying acted as if she was a high school student who didn't know what had happened in the past 10 years. Such as the war between Qin and Rome, practice, flying generals and so on.
In a place where no one can notice, existences of one size and one size are watching here.
Li Yi stood in the clouds, his gaze was like the woman in the ward, in his eyes it was just a decayed body.
"A living burial."
Hearing these two words, Qiong Yu, who was standing on his shoulder and grabbed Li Yi's hair, couldn't help asking: "Senior Immortal, do you know what this is?"
"Live burial, I once went to a place called Youzhou along the Wangchuan River. There are not many living beings there, they have a custom called living burial."
Li Yi flipped through his long memory, and remembered that place like a ghost land.
"Eat the incense of descendants, even if you die without being buried in the earth, it will take ten years at most, and two years at least."
—————
Cultivation world, Youzhou.
The Wangchuan River goes westward for thousands of miles, passing through poisonous miasma, swamps, and Gobi for three thousand miles. You can come to the place where the yin energy of heaven and earth gathers, the place where the Big Dipper is, and the main vein of yin spirits.
A ray of thunder came from the east, and when it passed, there were bursts of thunder, and when the roar fell to the ground, the monsters hiding in the poisonous miasma swamp were afraid to look up. Even the tyrannical and sexless ghosts are as docile as domestic animals under the roaring thunder.
You must know that these monsters are alien beasts born from heaven and earth, most of them are irrational and extremely powerful. Even the monks in the Nascent Soul stage dare not provoke these monsters at will, lest they be attacked by groups.
Because of these strange beasts, Kyushu has almost no contact with this side. However, there are descriptions in Kyushu about this place, nothing more than ancient survivors, barbaric and uncivilized.
"Youzhou?"
The thunder light disappeared, and a white-clothed Taoist stood in the air.
If his appearance appeared in Kyushu, he would make ordinary emperors kneel and worship nine times, make immortal sects shy away, and make all monks in the world terrified.
Now the world calls him Li Changsheng, the sword master of killing life, and a small number of people call him Taoist Changsheng.
For example, the Shangqing Palace knew that Jianzong was dead, knew that the sword master was gone, and knew that Li Changsheng was the only one left.
He looked down at the vast plains at his feet. The plains are endless. The giant city is located at the confluence of the rivers.
And behind him is a dusty and dark place of poisonous miasma, in which there are countless fierce beasts hidden.
The emerald green plain and the land of poisonous miasma are separated by a river. There is nothing special about this river itself, but below it is the Wangchuan River.
Wang Chuan is one of the ancestral veins, it is a embodiment of the law of heaven and earth, not a river.
However, according to the information Li Changsheng inquired, the Wangchuan River at the end will become real, and the spirits of the dead flow inside. If one has great supernatural powers, one can cross the river of forgetfulness and bring the dead back to life.
This is what Buddhism told him, and Li Changsheng also fulfilled his promise, and handed over all his life's learning to Buddhism.
Now that his first stop has arrived, Fomen really didn't lie to himself. Leaving Kyushu and going west thousands of miles, and passing through the poisonous miasma for three thousand miles, there is a place called Youzhou.
There are also many creatures living here, some are demons, some are demons. But here is still like ancient times, where demons are rampant, and people and monsters live together.
Li Changsheng took a step forward and moved hundreds of miles to a village by a river.
Houses are mostly made of thatched mud, with coffins placed on the roof beams, and some have two logs of wood on the wall, and the coffins are hung on it.
People eat, wear and sleep in the same room as the coffin, and share the same beam with the dead. They use a kind of yellow-brown grass to cover up the rotten smell.
Li Changsheng did not cover up his whereabouts, and soon attracted a large number of villagers to watch. A burly black-faced man who looked like the leader came over, his cultivation level was 5 layers of Qi Refining.
He yelled a language that did not belong to Kyushu, and then led a group of villagers to kneel down with a plop, kowtowing continuously.
Li Changsheng stretched out his hand to slightly touch the opponent's spiritual cover, and the unparalleled power instantly smashed the opponent's spiritual platform, and obtained the required memory from it. Then he waved his hand and left. The black-faced man was only in a daze for a while, and he didn't suffer any harm.
This is a kind of ultimate control of power, and the black-faced man realized what his expression was and became more respectful.
At this moment, Li Changsheng finally understood what the other party was saying.
"Meet the immortal master, the immortal master comes to Tucun with great sincerity and fear."
