Um?
Do you know the meaning of those three statues?
Chen Ting looked at Tang Ren’s message in the case-solving group in surprise.
The same goes for other group members.
Kiko: “No, those three statues look so evil, do they have their own meaning?
(???) ”
Guan Hongyu: “Is this true?
Mr. Tang, you're not going to bring up that melodramatic plot about men and women again, are you? "
Even Qin Feng questioned his cousin:
"Xiao Tang, you are not kidding, are you?
Now there is no clue about the flesh and blood statues, how...how do you know their meaning?"
“It’s easy~~~”
Tang Ren said as a matter of course: "You guys who don't like to read and study, of course you don't know~~
Humph, a bunch of guys who look down on others, let me tell you~~
Flesh and blood statues have long been recorded in history.
Among them, the description of the flesh and blood statues by the Black Lotus Sect of the Kang Dynasty and the statues in the cave cannot be said to be completely unrelated, but can only be said to be exactly the same~~"
Kang Dynasty?
Black Lotus Sect?
Shen Ting had heard of the White Lotus Sect during the Jiajing period.
This was the first time he had heard of the Black Lotus Sect.
As for the flesh and blood statues, they were unheard of.
Shen Ting humbly asks:
"Xiao Tang, what's going on with the Black Lotus Sect? Tell me!"
"No problem~~"
Tang Rende left a message:
"Simply put, this is a cult that emerged during the late Kang Dynasty, when the world was in turmoil..."
turn out to be!
The Black Lotus Cult inherited the human sacrifices of the Shang and Zhou dynasties.
They claim that human blood, flesh, and bones can absorb sin and chaos and bring peace.
What they believe in is the so-called Black Lotus God!
It is claimed that by sacrificing living people to the Black Lotus God and building a statue, one can gain eternal divinity.
In this organization, there are priests, messengers and protectors.
The messengers are divided into bone cleaners, blood coagulators and meat makers.
The blood, bones, and flesh obtained from the target are naturally used to build three statues.
The flesh and blood statues among them are said to strengthen the body as long as sacrifices are made to them.
The blood statue is said to be able to absorb disease and eliminate all diseases.
And insisting on worshipping the skeletal statues can bless one with immortality and eternal life.
The Black Lotus Sect also has its own scripture, the "Blood Edict"!
Obviously, this is a pagan religion.
The believers called themselves the Black Lotus Sect, but many people at the time called it the Demon Lotus Sect.
Those three statues are said to be statues of gods, but more people call them golems.
The Black Lotus Cult wanted to build three statues, so naturally they did many evil things.
Eventually it was completely eradicated by the government.
After listening to Tang Ren’s introduction, Shen Ting searched for relevant information on the Internet.
Surprisingly, he actually found it.
At the end of the Kang Dynasty, there really was such a Black Lotus Sect.
The doctrines, three statues, etc. are all similar to what Tang Ren introduced.
He even found a fragment of the Blood Edict.
There are indeed three methods of construction of the statues.
The only difference between this statue and the three statues in the cave is the statue's face.
The face of the statue in the information is similar to that of common Buddha statues.
Instead of an elegant face!
"From what I've seen, it seems someone has leaped over thousands of years and converted to the Black Lotus Sect?
Or is he simply using the Black Lotus Cult's teachings to control these believers in the cave?"
Shen Ting pondered:
"They collect the bodies of the dead to build flesh statues?"
Isn’t that right?!
Shen Ting frowned slightly.
This speculation is very reasonable and consistent with the current case.
But there are two small doubts:
First, the members of the Black Lotus Sect mainly operate in Baole City.
How did they know where the two serial killers in Dajing dumped their bodies?
Normally speaking, a pagan religion cannot have such great power!
This requires them to know the identities of the two murderers and grasp their actions before solving the case.
But even Chen Ting took a long time to investigate before he could confirm the identities of the leather maker and the punisher.
How did the Black Lotus Cult know this?
The second doubt is that if one only wants to build three statues, using dead bodies, that would be enough.
They could even find the place where the murderer dumped the bodies, so it shouldn't be difficult for them to find more bodies.
So why take the risk of kidnapping and killing young girls?
Doesn’t this increase the risk?
"I read the fragments of the Blood Oracle, but it didn't say that the flesh and blood of a young girl must be used to build the statue!?"
Shen Ting wondered, but obviously couldn't think of the answer.
but!
The information Tang Ren provided this time is indeed crucial.
The layout of this cave was originally a mess.
But now, the chaotic information has become regular.
The Black Lotus Sect is the root of the tree.
The three statues are the main trunk.
The missing corpse case, the missing girl case, and the missing rare earth case are three obvious branches on the main trunk.
The Elegant and the Punisher are more mysterious branches.
Just by thinking about it, Shen Ting had a new idea for his previous doubts:
“These believers were able to track down the whereabouts of the two Dajing murderers, perhaps with the help of a spy?
Or, is this Black Lotus Sect the work of a peeper?
The most powerful priest in this pagan cult is a member of the Snoopers?"
There are many possible situations, but no matter which one it is, Chen Ting feels that the peeper involved this time is most likely a genuine peeper.
If they were just imposters, it would be difficult to track the whereabouts of the two murderers.
Shen Ting thought of Gao Ya and the statue's face again, and came up with an idea that he was not willing to accept -
Is it possible that Gao Ya is the priest of the Black Lotus Sect?
Is she also a member of the Snoopers?
“I don’t think so!
Teacher Xiao Gao doesn't seem like the type of person who would engage in feudal superstitions!"
Shen Ting shook his head.
He couldn't explain whether he had any selfish motives behind this denial.
After thinking about it and finding no further ideas, Shen Ting left a message in the case-solving group:
"Besides the Black Lotus Sect, have you made any other discoveries?
Or, are there any details that you think are more critical?
It would be even better if there were follow-up investigation ideas!"
Newcomer Yao Xuechen left a direct message:
"Master, I have an idea.
I want to be part of the interrogation of those men in black and those in white.
My micro-expression analysis might be useful during interrogations."
Micro-expression analysis?
That’s a good idea!
