Chapter 60 The mystery of the unsolved case, Desire Lotus Purifying Fire

 The platinum light disappeared, and a flash of red light appeared.

"Chi La"

The fire jumped, and the infinite flames descended from the sky.

Tie Tang's right hand trembled, and suddenly he felt that there was an extra thing in his hand.

He hurriedly picked it up and saw that it was a copper token.

The shape of this token is extremely simple. There are dragons carved around the four corners, and the word "Dan" is written inside, but there is nothing else.

"What does this mean?"

"Hey, have I seen something similar?"

He didn't have time to take a closer look, but there were blazing flames all around, but there was not much burning sensation, as if it was not a flame, but a stream of water.

"Huh? My hand..." Tie Tang couldn't believe what he saw.

The entire palm of his left hand, including half of his forearm, was like a candle... slowly melting after being attacked by the flames.

"Impossible!"

Tie Tang was shocked and angry. Qi and blood all over his body exploded violently. His bones trembled, his long tendons trembled, and his more than forty orifices emitted immeasurable light, like rounds of the sun floating in and out of his body.

This seems to have turned things around.

When he took another look, his left hand was intact. The fiery red flames danced on his arm, and there was no trace of injury.

"What kind of trial is this and why is it so weird?"

Tie Tang never felt any pain or crisis from beginning to end, but he just saw his arm melting with his own eyes.

"It's not a hallucination, it really happened just now!"

He wanted to find Wang Andao and control Guandong, but the fire all around was extremely fierce and obscured everything. No matter how hard Tie Tang shouted, there was no response.

Not even a single person was seen!

"Fire can't burn me, but I want to go out. I'm afraid the way out is on this token?"

Tie Tang picked up the token and looked at it carefully. After repeated inspections, there was no other clue except the word "Dan".

"Wait!"

"This...this token..."

Tie Tang's breathing was rapid, his heart was racing, and every beat of his violent beating was like a hammer beating a drum, and the sound could be heard for ten miles.

This token——

It’s related to the unsolved case investigated by my predecessor!

In that unsolved case, a similar token appeared in the same style and size.

The only difference...is the word engraved on the front.

Tie Tang had read the file on this unsolved case countless times. After thinking about it for a moment, he immediately recognized the token.

But how is this possible?

That unsolved case was already nine years ago, and the location of the incident was not in Longyuan City. Why is it related to this place?

Tie Tang frowned, unable to connect the events.

"The magistrate once said that if I don't get involved in that pending case, I can naturally find peace.

But those are his words after all.

My life cannot be held in the hands of others. I must find out who wants to kill me."

Although the county magistrate once comforted Tie Tang and reassured him, can he really rest assured when his own family and life are at stake?

Tie Tang never intended to let go of the man behind the scenes, but he never had many clues and couldn't even find any entry point.

The only previous clue was the soldier from the Longwu Camp of the Youxian Wukuzhen Army.

But it’s different now.

The appearance of this token allowed Tie Tang to grasp the tail of the unsolved case.

"If we figure out the unsolved case, we should be able to follow the clues and find out who wants to kill me."

"The trial doesn't matter anymore, but we must understand the origin of this token. Is it unique here...or does it also exist in other places?"

Tie Tang picked up the token and put it into the flames around him to burn. It was also not damaged at all, not even a trace of heat was transferred to it.

"This should not be an ordinary flame, otherwise I would not be able to sense even the most ordinary fire.

If it enters the body without hurting anyone, is it what Buddhism calls karmic fire?"

"As soon as you think about it, the fire of karma will burn brightly. No one will burn you, but you will burn it yourself." Tie Tang remembered a book in which there was a record of fire of karma.

If it is Karmic Fire...then how to explain this token?

This token was obviously given by this so-called trial.

Then the word "Dan" above...

Dan usually refers to elixirs and refining elixirs. Is it using karma fire to make elixirs?

But the fire of karma in Buddhism is not used to make elixirs.

On the contrary, it is a Taoist sect that has a very deep understanding of alchemy and elixirs.

The way of alchemy that Tie Tang knows comes entirely from Taoism.

Among them, there are outer elixirs and inner elixirs.

The so-called external elixir is to refine herbal medicine through various secret methods and use it to ingest it, thereby enlightening one's own yin energy and turning it into yang energy.

The inner elixir is nothing more than the breath of the dragon and the tiger, expelling the old and bringing in the new. Of course, there are also Taoist theories such as the change of yin and yang, the five elements, the unity of nature and man, etc.

"Everything I know, can it be matched in this world?"

"I've never heard that Buddhism's karma fire can make elixirs, but what if Taoism also has something like karma fire?"

Tie Tang held the token in one hand and the flame in the other, and finally overlapped the two, trying to see what reaction would happen.

More than ten breaths have passed.

Peace.

"Wrong guess? My token is engraved with the word "Dan", but the token in the unsolved case...

The word "Jie" is engraved on it!

What's the difference between the two?

What do they represent?"

Various speculations flashed through Tietou's mind, but in the end they were all rejected.

"There are too few clues to make it clear. Now I have to go out first."

At this time.

The sky lit up and the flames disappeared.

Tie Tang saw Wang Andao, Zhen Guandong, the red dragon in human form, and the large group of figures in front of him.

At first glance, nothing seems to have changed.

But when Tie Tang took a closer look, he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

Among the dense crowd of people in front, many scattered robes, scales, animal skins, and debris appeared around their feet.

In addition.

There is also a large amount of gray-white powder, mixed with some bone fragments that were burnt black.

Dead!

No.

Not only people, but many of the aquatic tribe who came in also died.

Tie Tang saw two piles of ashes about a foot away from Li Jingtai, and the people who had followed him had disappeared.

"Tietou, are you okay?" Wang Andao came over.

"It's okay, what about you?"

"It's just that the Desire Lotus Purifies Fire can't do anything to me, but these people are miserable. They didn't get anything when they came in. They died in vain."

Tie Tang frowned: "Desire Lotus Purifies Fire? Lao Wang, please tell me."

Wang Andao then remembered that Tie Tang might not have any knowledge in this area, so he patiently explained to him.

"Nothing, it's just a Taoist method of tempering the body, similar to Buddhist karma fire. Do you understand karma fire?"

"I know a little bit, but I don't know if it's the same as what you said." Tie Tang was a little unsure.

"Karma fire is a Buddhist term. The more famous ones are the red lotus karma fire, the flame of nirvana, and the void karma fire. It is said that it is used to burn one's own sins in order to obtain the true body without stains.

But in fact, I don’t know what the specific effect is.

The Purifying Fire of Desire Lotus is different. It does not hurt people, but it will refine the body and burn away excess impurities and desires. It is one of the best ways to refine the state of mind.

Like you and me, we were originally in the realm of exchanging blood, and there were many inner demons. If the pure fire of the Desire Lotus was always with me, what would I have to fear about the inner demons?"

Looking at the piles of ashes scattered everywhere, Tie Tang wondered: "Then why did they die?"

"Weak, too weak!" Wang Andao shook his head.

"It's not just that the light is weak, the desire is still very strong. If the strength is not good, but the thought is too strong, it will be counterattacked by the pure fire of the Desire Lotus."

Tie Tan thought about the scene where his left hand melted, and couldn't help but feel a chill in his back. If he hadn't burst out of blood in time.

I'm afraid he's also included in these piles of ashes.

"By the way, Lao Wang, do you have this token?" Tie Tang took out the token, hid it in his palm, and handed it over.

"I have one too. It was only by relying on it that I guessed it was the Desire Lotus Pure Fire. After all, I have never seen this thing before."

Tie Tang's right hand trembled slightly and he asked quietly: "Then do you know this kind of token?"

"Know!"
