Zhang Rentu hurriedly thanked the master and said to the master: "Thank you Master for giving me the name, it was the second half of my life that the master gave me, and from then on, Zhang Rentu died, but Zhang Shan lived." ”

Then he kowtowed to the master three times, the master did not help him this time, but accepted it calmly, after kowtowing, the master said: "Zhang Shan, the rule of my master is that the first entrant is the senior brother, although you are my registered disciple, but you must also follow this rule, these are your three senior brothers, Yang Zhendong is your senior brother, Li Baoguo is your second senior brother, and Yu Tianning is your third senior brother." ”

At this time, Zhang Shan hurriedly waved at me, and said a little embarrassed: "Meet Senior Brother." ”

I listened to the comfort in my heart, don't look at Zhang Shan's leopard eyes and cinnabar eyebrows, as fierce and evil, but at this time he spoke softly, I looked at him more pleasing than just now, so I hurriedly said to Zhang Shan: "Don't do this, just call me bold in the future." ”

Zhang Shan hurriedly said: "That's not good, as soon as you enter the master's door, you have to respect the teacher, and you can't be sloppy." ”

Then Zhang Shan worshiped the younger brother stupid and thin monkey, Zhang Shan's son also came over and called us uncle, everyone talked about the conversation, Zhang Shan invited us to the main hall house, just like this, the day will be numb, Zhang Shan asked his son to remove the funeral things at home, and let his son prepare wine and food.

When we arrived at the house, we saw three portraits on the front of the house, one of the three portraits was a seated general, majestic, with Fan Hao written on it, the one on the left was a fierce Zhang Fei with a Zhangba snake spear, and the one on the right was a civil official, needless to say Wei Zheng. On the offering table below is a ghost-headed broadsword with a cold light, this big knife is cold and shining, but it is far away, and it is not very clear. Zhang Shan walked to the front of the portrait in a regular manner, took out three sticks of incense and lit them, inserted them in the incense burner, and then said: "Disciple Zhang Rentu, from today onwards, he will change his name to Zhang Shan, and he will no longer be engaged in the line of executioner. ”

Then I kowtowed three heads in a regular manner, and then picked up the ghost head knife with both hands from the knife rack and sent it to the master, I saw the appearance of the ghost head knife at this time, the blade of the ghost head knife is more than one meter long, and I can see that the back of the knife is very thick, and the handle of the knife is wrapped in some skin, and it is shiny. On the handle of the knife carved a hideous ghost head, this ghost head knife in the weapon spectrum is a thing that does not enter the stream and can not be on the table, in addition to the executioner with it to cut off the head, more are those bandits and grass cowards, take it to rob the house.

At this time, Zhang Shan took the ghost head knife and said: "Master, look at this ghost head knife, the knife body is heavy, and the handle of the knife is carved with a ghost head, which is quite sharp, cutting gold and jade." It is most suitable for chopping, so we use it to cut off the head and kill people, the handle of the knife is wrapped in rhinoceros skin, this rhinoceros skin is not invaded by water and fire, the more you use it, the brighter it is, the ghost head knife has been passed on to me for five lifetimes, I don't know how many people I have killed, Master, you see, the whole body of the knife is not a little injured, today I handed over the ghost head knife to the master, and from then on I will be a good layman. ”

The master took the knife, looked at it, and said, "Sure enough, it's a good knife, come boldly and continue, this murderous ghost head knife will be kept by you." ”

When I heard that it was a murderous ghost-headed knife, I didn't dare to take it at that time, but the master said, "Be bold, go ahead, although this knife is like murder, but it already has spiritual sense, and it will not hurt the master." ”

When I heard this, I hesitated to take the ghost head knife in my hand, and when the ghost head knife was in my hand, I felt a sinking in my hand, and almost threw the ghost head knife, I didn't expect this ghost head knife to be so heavy. I took the Devil's Head Knife and stood there stupidly, not knowing what to do. The master smiled and said, "Be bold, look at you, this knife is rare, and when the knife is enshrined in front of the Sanqing Master for a period of time, I will let you carry it on your back and hold it when you sleep." ”

I hurriedly said, "Master, I ......"

The master smiled and said, "You, what are you, you won't put down the knife with Shen." ”

I hurriedly put the knife in my hand on the offering table, Zhang Shan asked us to sit down and drink tea, we are three brothers, because Zhang Shan is a senior brother, although he is much older than us, he was also a well-known executioner back then, and now he has become a senior brother, naturally there is no barrier. At that time, we poor people did not have anyone to drink tea, generally drink cold water, since the apprenticeship, only in the door of the tea a few times, but for us, like drinking medicine, we have nothing to eat, there is no oil and water in the stomach, after drinking some tea, the food in the stomach quickly melted away and did not fight hunger, so our brothers and sisters only eat snacks and peanuts, never drink tea.

Zhang Shan's family is wealthy, there is no shortage of dim sum, we eat dim sum, very happy, while eating and chatting, Zhang Shan talked about the things of that night. Zhang Shan said: "Master, you old man don't know, I don't want to be an executioner for a long time, as early as the previous dynasty, when the killing was very grand, although the officials were corrupt, but they didn't dare to kill indiscriminately, after the sentence, they had to report to the Criminal Department, now it's the Republic of China, it's about the Three People's Doctrine, but killing people, it's not the Three People's Doctrine at all, the more people are killed in recent years, the more people are killed, a county magistrate has the right to kill."

I think that among these people I killed, there are many unjust deaths, but I have lost my conscience and done a great sin. My heart was irritable, so I drank to get rid of my sorrows. I drank in the tavern until it got dark, and when I came out of the tavern, I couldn't see anything in front of me, and the black one was like the bottom of a black pot, and I had already drunk wine, and I was blind when I couldn't see it. I went around in circles there, and I couldn't get out.

I remember walking for a while, I simply didn't leave, then suddenly there was a person, out of a corner, that person was very strange, tall, wearing a hat, as if there was no head, directly stuck on the shoulder, if I don't drink, I can definitely see that this is wrong, and another is that since I can't see anything, how can I see a person clearly, these are things that can be thought of by a simple thought, but I drank too much, I didn't think about it elsewhere, and sat there by myself.

At this time, the man with the hat came over and said, "Oh, isn't this Brother Zhang?" How are you sitting here? ”

I listened to this voice very strangely, as if talking in a vat, the sound of the urn was angry, I couldn't hear who this voice was, I thought that anyway, I knew a lot of people in the county, how could I remember it, so I said: "I drank too much, grandma's, I can't find my way back." ”

The man in black with a hat said, "How can you not find your way?" Brother Zhang, if you don't do this, let's be on the same road, and I'll just send you back to your hometown. ”

I didn't listen carefully at the time, and I didn't take this back to my hometown seriously, I just said, "Okay, thank you, big brother." ”

The man said gloomily: "No thanks, no thanks, I was also sent back to my hometown by you like this back then, and I have been wandering around my hometown all these years, and I can't go anywhere." ”

Then he said to me, "You have to keep up, this is not a good road for us to take." ”

I said drunkly: "Big brother, let me tell you, in this county, if I don't get drunk, I can know what is going on in the corner." ”

The man with the hat said, "Yes, you all know, you sent us all these years." ”

After saying that, I walked in front, and I still couldn't see my five fingers around, I could only see the figure in front of me, the hat was stuck on my shoulder, swaying in front of me, I had no choice but to stand up and follow him, at this time I was a little curious, who is this person? Why didn't you let me look at my face? So I took advantage of the strength of the wine, so I chased after him and said, "Big brother, you wait for me, I want to see who you are?" ”

But just when I caught up, suddenly the person seemed to float forward two steps, I thought I was dazzled, then I remembered my own craft, we do this line, can not touch people's shoulders casually, so people will be disgusted, feel unlucky, so I had to follow honestly behind me, I remember walking a long way at the time, not yet home, so to the person in front of me said: "Big brother, something is wrong, why not home?" ”
