Chapter 1: Sinners
Arrancas Empire
"Qi Wuxu, born as a royal child, fornicating with a daughter, stealing the artifact of the town, are you guilty!" the criminal deacon asked loudly about the crime.
And Qi Wuxu, who was wearing a prison uniform, stood under His Highness Gao Tang, looking at the person sitting on the dragon chair with calm eyes.
Seeing that Qi Wuxu was speechless, the criminal deacon continued to read out, "The criminal minister Qi Wuxu, knowing the law and breaking the law, adultery and choosing a daughter Wu Qian, the following crimes, stealing the artifact of the town, breaking the fortune of the country, intending to subvert the dynasty, the crime is extremely evil, all of the above, the crime is unforgivable, remove the imperial family, three days later, the Xuanwu Colosseum, execute the sword punishment to prove Xuanming." ”
"Its accomplice, Shayun Yu Wu Qian, will always be ranked first on the hunt and kill list, see people alive, see corpses when they die!
The person on the dragon chair, after the deacon finished reading, stood up and "hummed" with a wave of his long sleeves, and the word "quasi" left a word and turned away, and a red word "quasi" appeared on the rice paper, and the people in the hall shouted at the same time "Arancas, live forever!"
After reading this sentence, the rice paper spontaneously combusted, and Qi Wuxu knew that it was a declaration, containing the power of Arrancas's national fortune, and the burning rice paper would be reported to every corner of Arrancas.
Qi Wuxu thought in his heart, he didn't expect that one day he would become a sinner, but he didn't know what Wu Qian's situation was at the moment, whether he had escaped from the empire, or whether he had returned to his homeland, there was no way to know.
There was a three-day gap between stealing the artifact and being discovered, and if it was a dragon eagle, he might have really escaped from Arancas.
From the discovery to the arrest of Qi Wuxu, it took only half a cup of tea, and then as soon as he searched for it, he was convicted and issued a chase and death order.
In other words, from the time Qi Wuxu was found to the time he was imprisoned, it was only an hour before and after, and he lived in this dark and damp cell, and the difference between before and after was not small.
There are no handcuffs and leg irons, because those things are just children's toys for Qi Wuxu, and they are even more useless, but this does not mean that Qi Wuxu can break out.
After all, this is a special cell in the Deacon Pavilion, and above the cell, is the General Pavilion of the Imperial Deacon Pavilion, with many masters, and there is no fear that a saint-level powerhouse can turn over flowers. Even this so-called first person under immortality, the first genius of the empire for thousands of years, is not good.
Toot ~ da ~ , the cell door was opened, and a man in a white robe walked in, looking at Qi Wuxu, who was sitting cross-legged, he also crossed his legs, and the two looked at each other.
"Can you give me a reason?" said the white-robed man first.
Qi Wuxu replied, "In what capacity are you asking me......? Master?"
"What identity, does it matter?"
"Again, does it matter why?"
Deacon Bai looked at the apprentice in front of him in surprise, after returning from the bitter cold land this time, he had only stayed in the palace for half a month, but the gap between the front and back was so big.
But it's true, no matter what the reason, it doesn't matter now, such a big sin, even if Emperor Taizu is reincarnated, he can't keep Qi Wuxu.
"Alas, do you know how painful and terrible this sword punishment is, and it is almost an exaggeration to say that it is the harshest criminal law in the empire!"
As a royal disciple, Qi Wuxu naturally knew the horror of this sword punishment, and this criminal law had not been used several times since it was written into the code, but it could be guaranteed that every time it was used against the most unforgivable and heinous criminals.
"I know. ”
Deacon Bai sighed, he fell ill in his early years, and he stopped at the holy level in this life, and he could no longer advance an inch, and he was able to sit in the position of White Deacon, which can be said to depend on the merits of the first half of his life.
I thought that I could receive such an excellent apprentice in my later years, and watching him become immortal in his transcendent sainthood, he could be regarded as living an explanation, and Qi Wuxu did not live up to the talent he decided, and he became the first person under immortality at the age of only 100 years, and it is no surprise that he will be able to achieve immortality in the next 100 years, but there is such a thing, and it has become this mortal situation.
Deacon Bai sighed, "Alas, you and I are masters and apprentices, and this last part of the road will be accompanied by the teacher." ”
Qi Wuxu glanced at Deacon Bai deeply, knelt down and kowtowed heavily, "Master, I'm sorry, I failed your cultivation and disappointed you." ”
Then the two of them sat cross-legged and silent, in the last three days before the execution, Deacon Bai sat with Qi Wuxu for three days, and no one disturbed him during the period.
When the four deacons of "detaining, towning, locking, and trapping" came to escort Qi Wuxu, they all saw it, and it seemed that the white deacons who had become older had become older, and the four of them came silently and went silently, and the difference between the front and back of the cell was only two people missing.
Sword punishment has not been used for many years, and the four chief deacons who presided over the sword punishment last time may have gone down in history and become history.
Before the execution: the ancient torture weapon "Soul Detention Platform" was placed in the middle of the Xuanwu Colosseum, the whole was carved from the soul suppression stone, and four giant soul lock pillars were erected on it, each with a word: detention, town, lock, trap, each standing one.
On each of the four pillars sat a person, the four chief deacons who had gone to escort Qi Wuxu before.
The four of them were working together to drive the Soul Detention Platform, dividing the Four Heavens Chain to lock Qi Wuxu's limbs, so that he could only face the sky on his back, and in the direction of the head, the Emperor was sitting, and the Soul Detention Platform was surrounded by deacons of all sizes, while Qi Wuxu remained silent. There are only two people in my heart, one is the master Deacon Bai, and the other is the woman who changed her fate - Wu Qian.
With the passage of time, more and more people came to watch the punishment, and the most special point of the sword punishment is that the more people come, the more terrible the punishment, to be precise, the more people who bring the sword, the more terrible it is.
As the name suggests, sword punishment is related to the sword, and all the deacons present urge their swords together, plus the swords of all those present to watch the execution, as long as they want, they can sacrifice their own swords, and hand them over to the deacons to command and control, so that the tortured people can experience the pain of ten thousand swords piercing their hearts.
The function of the Soul Detention Platform is that it will trap the soul of the person and isolate the inspiration of the rules of heaven and earth, and the Soul Lock Pillar can lock the soul and spiritual power in the body at the same time, cutting off the operation of the aura, so that the tortured person cannot exert any strength.
However, the spiritual power locked in the body will operate passively, repairing the damage to the body, thereby prolonging the torture time. Until the soul and body of the prisoner are both worn out and the soul is scattered.
This kind of punishment can be said to have interfered with the normal reincarnation of the Heavenly Dao, which shows how terrible this sword punishment is.
Qi Wuxu raised his head and closed his eyes, knowing that he was about to leave this world that he had just felt beautiful.
