Chapter 57: Passing the Test
Ten days later, Seventeen found Commander Hu and cut the candle in his palm into six five consecutive times in front of him.
Commander Hu's cigarette choked on his throat, and he coughed and touched Seventeen's uninjured left hand and asked, "You kid shouldn't be secretly cultivating palm kung fu behind my back, right?"
"Nope!"
To prove his innocence, Seventeen placed the candle on his arm and cut it in two without hesitation.
Commander Hu poured a sip of tea and said with a smile: "That's the body forging technique!"
Seventeen bit his chin tightly, his face flushed.
He directly took Commander Hu's thick hand and said, "Lord Commander, borrow your hand!"
"Wait, wait!" Commander Hu hurriedly said, "My old bones can't stand your toss, change something else!"
Other?
Seventeen came in a hurry, without bringing tofu, he glanced at Commander Hu's room, and then rushed directly to the flower pot in the window.
I don't know what kind of flowers are planted in the pot, but only two young leaves are drawn.
Pinching off a young leaf, he didn't notice the twitching muscles on Hu Commander's face, and directly pressed the candle on the young leaf.
Without the slightest accident, the candle became two sections, leaving not a trace on the young leaves.
"Have I passed the test, Lord?"
"It's passed, it's passed!" Commander Hu said distressedly, "If I don't let you pass, I'm afraid that the bauhinia leaves that I have managed to grow alive will be plucked." ”
"I don't know ......"
"Okay, it's okay, just come with me!"
Commander Hu limped in front with an iron crutch, and Seventeen followed quietly and did not help him.
After getting into the carriage, they came to the city lord's mansion, and Commander Hu entered through the small door with seventeen, and after seven turns and turns, they came to an office room, where a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar held a brush, stared at the thick stack of papers on the table, and frowned and thought about something seriously.
"Chen Shusheng, my old Hu has come to the door!" Commander Hu walked in directly and shouted loudly.
"Old ghost Hu?" said the middle-aged man known as Chen Shusheng in surprise, "What are you doing here?"
"Of course I'm here to entrust you with errands, otherwise I can still have a drink with you?" Commander Hu seemed to be very familiar with the other party, and he didn't regard himself as an outsider at all, so he pulled a chair and sat down at random, pointing to Seventeen standing next to him and said, "His name is Lan Seventeen, and the guy I trained is very outstanding." ”
Chen Shusheng looked at Seventeen and nodded: "It looks really good, but it looks very strong." ”
Seventeen lowered his head a little embarrassed.
"He has already encountered a bottleneck in his cultivation of the Battle Sword Technique, he needs to accumulate murderous energy, and if he wants to be an executioner, I will bring him to you!"
"There's no need to be an executioner to accumulate murderous energy, right?" Chen Shusheng said, "You can bring a few people to him from the prison!"
"He wants to cultivate the "Battle Sword Technique" to perfection, and the ghost knows how many people need to be killed!" "Commander Hu explained, "He has been very reassuring since he was a child, and he is diligent in cultivation, but his personality is a little withdrawn, and he doesn't like to talk, and in another year, he will leave, this is the first time he has asked me, and I also think that he is a little stronger, and he can earn me some face when he goes out in the future, and he will live better, so he came to you for help, and you said directly, can you help?"
Seventeen lowered his head, Chen Hao saw that his eyes were red and tears were flashing, but he still tried his best to prevent the tears from dripping.
This young man's tears are a little low!
But Chen Hao doesn't care, as long as he can cut people, he can accept it while crying!
"Of course it's not difficult to help!" Chen Shusheng said with a smile, "Anyway, the position of executioner is not in demand, and Seventeen is also a person in the Blue Mansion, no one will object." ”
"Don't worry, he was taught by me, and his swordsmanship is very good, except that he doesn't know those complicated execution methods, he is definitely not capable of cutting off his head!"
The two quickly agreed that as if a prisoner needed to be executed, they would send someone to inform Seventeen the day before.
On the way back, it was quiet inside the carriage.
Commander Hu shouted in a low voice, "Seventeen. ”
"Lord Commander?"
Commander Hu stared at him and said, "Killing, sometimes killing is addictive, you have to stop in moderation." ”
Seventeen was a little confused.
Commander Hu continued: "If you kill too many people, you will accumulate a lot of murderous energy on your body, and murderous energy is a double-edged sword, hurting others and hurting yourself, and in general, it will do more harm than good, you must know this." ”
"Why?"
"Strong murderous aura can make some mentally weak opponents lose their ability to resist, but as a martial artist, if the murderous aura is too heavy and there is no supernatural mind, it will affect the future of martial arts!" Commander Hu continued to explain, "It will be easier to go mad than ordinary martial artists, especially when you break through the innate nature, there will be a level of demons, the more people you kill, the stronger the demons, and many demon warriors and soldiers will fall at that level, you have to keep in mind this, you must do what you can!"
"Hmm!" Seventeen nodded seriously, and then asked, "The murderous aura is very heavy, what about successfully breaking through to become an innate martial artist?"
"Their strength is definitely stronger than that of ordinary innate martial artists!" Commander Hu said slowly, "For example, Lord Zhenbei Hou!"
Chen Hao listened to Commander Hu's words and remembered that he was the only innate sword master.
Did Fu Yuanming pass the Inner Demon Pass?
He didn't know.
"Lord Sword Spirit, is what the Commander said true?" Seventeen asked after leaving Commander Hu.
Chen Hao replied, "It should be true, will you give up using the Red Blood Sword?"
"No!"
Yiyang City, as an important military and economic town in the north of Nanyun Kingdom, has far surpassed Ironstone City in terms of city size, jurisdiction, and population.
Compared with Yiyang City, Iron and Stone City is a poor and remote country.
Even if Yiyang City is guarded by the Golden Armor Army and the Lan Family, there are still many people who need to be beheaded!
After all, the martial arts of this world are respected, the folk customs are extremely fierce, and under the management of the Lan family, who was born in the gate, the law is more stringent than that of ordinary cities.
It turned out that although the executioner had some connections in the city, after all, Seventeen was a slave of the Lan family, and there was the help of Commander Hu, so he easily took over all the tasks of beheading.
"Will this raw melon and egg be beheaded?" Tu Yidao was shirtless, revealing a snow-white fat body, and said with some disdain in his tone, "Have you ever killed someone before?" If you vomit directly on the torture table, then our Yiyang City will become a joke!"
Stealing people's wealth is like killing parents.
Beheading, which is the source of most of the executioner's gray income, was robbed by Seventeen, and it is strange that Tu Yidao can have a good face for him!
Besides, Seventeen is just a servant of the Blue Mansion, and Tu Yidao is not very afraid of him.
Today's task is not easy!
He's here to see the jokes!
Several soldiers were a little suspicious and looked at the immature Seventeen, too young, and always looked unreliable.
Yiyang City is a military fortress in the north, and even the city guards are veterans who have retired from the battlefield, and it would be a shame if the executioner vomited on the torture table.
"No problem!" Seventeen was confident.
"Hmph, hopefully!" Tu Yidao said, "Don't blame me for not reminding you, all of us in Yiyang City are short-tempered, if you don't behave well, you will probably be knocked off the stage!"
