Changsheng: I will win my life with martial arts, and I will defeat the demons in this chaotic world

The people around him gradually dispersed, and only Lu Ren was left outside the private school.

He pondered for a moment, then kicked open the door and rushed in.

The school was very quiet, with nearly twenty simple desks neatly arranged.

The papers, pens and books on the desks were all placed in an orderly manner, without any signs of disorder.

""The fact that they didn't resist means that the children all followed Tian Qi voluntarily?"

Lu Ren frowned and continued to look around the school.

Next to the podium was a bamboo basket with several of Tian Qi's books in it.

Lu Ren didn't care at first, but when he turned around, he saw from the corner of his eye that there seemed to be a black ancient book pressed on the bottom of the bamboo basket.

He took out the ancient book and found that there was no title on the cover, only a strange lotus pattern.

No!

To be precise, this is a lotus platform. The lace has two layers, inner and outer, each with nine petals arranged in an interlaced manner.

In the center of the lotus platform, there is a cushion.

At first glance, it looks like a cushion used by Buddhist Bodhisattvas for meditation.

But Tian Qi has been teaching in the town for more than ten years, and even his predecessor has stayed in this school for a year or two, and he has never heard of him believing in Buddhism.

With full of doubts, Lu Ren slowly opened this strange ancient book.

"The world is full of suffering, and human life is worthless."

"Enter my longevity gate and I will teach you the longevity method"

"Eighteen boys sitting on a lotus platform"

"A bronze lamp, when will the corpse oil dry up?"

"The lotus pedestal is covered with blood, and the green lamp is lit all night long"

"When I woke up from my dream, I was granted the right to ascend to heaven." The ancient book only had a few pages, but the opening paragraph shocked Lu Ren........It seems to be a slogan of some evil cult to deceive people.

The Gate of Immortality?

It seems that I have never heard of it.

Then where did Tian Qi get this ancient book?

Eighteen Boys........

Lu Ren realized something instantly and looked down from the podium.

No more, no less, exactly eighteen desks and eighteen children!

""The lotus pedestal is covered with blood, and the green lamp is lit all night long."

This should be the so-called sacrificial ceremony for attaining enlightenment and ascending to heaven.

Tian Qi needs to bleed eighteen children, and then light an ancient bronze lamp filled with corpse oil.

When the blood dries up and the lamp burns out, the ceremony is considered complete.

Lu Ren took a deep breath and clenched his fists unconsciously.

In his memory, Tian Qi is an elegant middle-aged man who likes to wear a gray long gown.

Although he is over forty years old, he has a strong bookish air and speaks and acts very appropriately, just like a polite gentleman.

Unexpectedly.......He actually had such evil thoughts hidden in his heart.

He had read the books of sages for decades, but he was easily bewitched by a few brainwashing slogans.

Sacrificing the lives of eighteen children just for the four words"attain the Tao and ascend to heaven" on the pages of the book?

Lu Ren was so angry that he tore the harmful black ancient book into pieces.

But the problem followed.

Where did Tian Qi take the children?

Where would he hold the sacrifice ceremony?

The private school is not large, and there is only a small courtyard besides the school.

Lu Ren checked inside and out, and did not find any hidden hiding place.

"According to Captain Liao, no one saw Tian Qi or any of the children leave Yangliu Town.

So, they must still be in the town.

And in order to perform the sacrificial ceremony, Tian Qi must not be found, so he is probably in some unexpected place."

Lu Ren came to a room behind the private school where sundries were stored.

It was dark inside, with things piled up randomly, and there was only a narrow aisle to walk in.

After some observation, there was nothing unusual in the room.

Lu Ren walked along the aisle and found that there was a small door in the corner.

He kicked the door open, and outside was an alley with walls built on both sides.

This is not a main street, and the residents of Yangliu Town rarely have the habit of building back doors, so this alley behind the houses is almost deserted on weekdays.

Lu Ren stood in the alley, looking forward with a heavy gaze.

"Tian Qi's home seems to be over there." Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly found a very fresh wheel track on the ground.

"Did you use a car to move the children away?"

But why would so many children listen to Tian Qi?

Other children have been in private school for some time, so it is understandable that they trust Tian Qi unconditionally.

But Yuanbao is naughty and active by nature, and it is his first day in private school.

In Liu Ying's words: It's good enough if he doesn't make trouble.

"It seems that Tian Qi must have used some trick to knock the kids unconscious."

Since the direction was determined, Lu Ren no longer hesitated and followed the wheel tracks at the fastest speed.

When he arrived at the back wall of Tian Qi's house, the wheel tracks did not disappear, but went forward.

Not at his house?

Lu Ren's eyes condensed, and he felt that something was strange.

"What is that?"

There is no gate on the back wall, so the only way to enter Tian Qi's house is to climb over the wall.

Lu Ren could do it easily.

But how could Tian Qi climb over the wall with so many unconscious children?

If he went through the front door, he would definitely be seen by the neighbors, leaving clues.

But Lu Ren found a bamboo basket in a corner of the wall that was exactly the same as the one in the private school. It was filled with bricks and stones, and people with less strength could not move it at all.

It seemed that the existence of this bamboo basket was to cover up something.

Lu Ren walked over and overturned the bamboo basket with one hand.

Behind the bamboo basket, there was a hole about one foot wide and high.

It was more than enough for an adult to get in here, not to mention a child of a few years old.

This... The hole was obviously knocked open intentionally.

Lu Ren looked at the bricks and stones in the bamboo basket, and its source was self-evident.

Everything was clear. Tian Qi secretly transferred the children to his home from here.

As for the wheel tracks that did not disappear, it was actually easy to explain.

Leaving a cart outside his courtyard wall would inevitably attract attention and thus suspect him.

After he moved the children, he pushed the empty cart to a certain place and abandoned it, and then went home through the main gate.

In this way, it can be said to be seamless, and no one would guess that the children were actually in his home.

Lu Ren snorted coldly, kicked his legs on the wall, and jumped into the backyard of Tian Qi's house very lightly.
