Chapter Eighty-Five: The Devil's Head Knife
In total, three prisoners.
The first prisoner was escorted to Xingtai, tied with five flowers, his hands tied behind his back, and the executioner first drank a sip of wine and sprayed it on the ghost's head knife, which was blue and seeping. Then he reached out and took off the name and a sign with the word "beheading" written on the back of the prisoner, and raised the knife in his hand.
The bones were sloppy, and a man's head rolled to the ground.
From beginning to end, there was no word.
There was a cheer from the crowd.
Obviously, there is no half temperature, and it is frighteningly cold, but the atmosphere is very warm.
Then there was the second prisoner, which was still the same old routine, but this prisoner actually babbled and sang: "Who is drunk with frost and forest in Xiaolai, always leaves people with tears, hates to see each other late, complains about the disease of returning, the willow silk is long, and the jade skull is difficult to tie ......"
Before he could finish singing, he was pressed down by the ghost pawn, and then the executioner's knife fell from his front hand, and blood splashed everywhere.
There was another round of applause from the crowd.
The atmosphere is getting hotter and hotter.
Qi Xuansu felt a little chilled.
The last prisoner was escorted by two ghost guards and staggered to the execution ground.
The prisoner had a blank sheet of paper on his face, and he couldn't see his face clearly.
For some reason, Qi Xuansu always felt that this prisoner was a little familiar.
At this moment, a ghost guard took off the white paper covering the prisoner's face, revealing the prisoner's true face, which was exactly the same as Qi Xuansu.
Qi Xuansu couldn't help but be surprised.
This is no small surprise.
The surrounding "crowd" originally turned a blind eye to Qi Xuansu, but with Qi Xuansu's surprise, it was Qi Qi who looked towards Qi Xuansu, as if he had just discovered Qi Xuansu, a big living person.
The previous noise disappeared in an instant.
Only deathly silence remains.
The next moment, these "people" rushed towards Qi Xuansu, grabbed Qi Xuansu with all hands and feet, and wanted to pull Qi Xuansu off the horse.
Qi Xuansu knew that most of it was his own shock that extinguished a yang lantern, and wanted to escape, but he was shocked to find that all his cultivation had disappeared, and he couldn't break free at all, and he was easily pulled off the horse, only to feel that the world was spinning.
By the time Qi Xuansu came back to his senses, he had already been pressed on the torture table, and the cold air was rising from the back of his neck.
Not far away was the white paper used to cover his face, on which was painted a small person, who was Qi Xuansu's appearance.
Qi Xuansu knew that he was on the way, and he wanted to fight back, but he found that his strength was probably only the strength of an ordinary young man, let alone resisting, it was difficult to raise his head.
The executioner drank for the third time, and then sprayed the devil's head knife in his hand for the third time.
If nothing else, Qi Xuansu will soon be in a different place.
The dead silence of the "crowd" was lively again, and the noise came like a tide again.
Qi Xuansu roared angrily, his eyes red, and desperately tried to break free from the shackles of the ghost pawn. At the moment of life and death, he gave birth to a force out of nowhere, not only raised his head, but even pressed the ghost pawn on his body
Straight to the ground.
Although these ghost pawns are weird, their strength is also the strength of ordinary people, and they can't hold it down when they are violently struggling by Qi Xuansu.
Qi Xuansu had no strength and cultivation, but he would not forget his skill in fighting with others, and he slammed into another ghost pawn. These ghost pawns are really just like ordinary people, and they were immediately hit by Qi Xuansu and turned on their backs.
At this moment, the "crowd" watching the excitement at the bottom stopped working, and seeing that the excitement was not visible, and they wanted to run, they immediately rushed over, stretching out their dry palms to arrest Qi Xuansu back.
As the saying goes, two fists are hard to beat with four hands, Qi Xuansu has no martial arts strength that is different from ordinary people at this time, but he doesn't dare to compete with so many "people", so he turns around and runs.
Fortunately, Qi Xuansu's bad horse really had a bit of spirituality, and he didn't run away, but came to pick up Qi Xuansu.
Qi Xuansu jumped from the execution platform, jumped on the back of the horse, and then galloped wildly.
Although those "people" were all hideous, they were like living people, and they all avoided for fear of being hit by horses.
Qi Xuansu rushed out like this.
After running out for a while, Qi Xuansu was relieved to see that there was no "person" chasing after him.
At this moment, a procession of relatives and wives approached, and the groom was dressed with snow-white powder, two blushes, and his lips were smeared with lipstick as red as blood, and he rode a horse that was as red as a maroon.
Behind the horse is a porter who carries the bride's dowry, a person in front of the horse holds the bride's dressing box, a sedan chair in front, the outside is decorated with a variety of plants and flowers, this can be described as a "sedan chair", behind the sedan chair a porter carries a load of fish and meat, indicating that the woman's mother's family blesses the husband with more than wealth.
Closer to it, take a closer look, the groom's officials, red horses, sedan chairs, sedan chairs, dowries, and the crowd of blowers are all paper-tied.
Qi Xuansu looked at the groom's eyes that had no whites but only black eyes, and secretly said that it was not good in his heart, and looked around with the corner of his eyes, only to see that there was a spring building next to it, and through the pane, he could see that there was a woman in the mirror dressing, but after painting for a while, he didn't seem to be very satisfied, so the woman directly tore off the skin on her face, showing her true face, her face was verdant, and her teeth were like jagged teeth. The woman spread the dough on the table, picked up a colored pen, drew a few strokes on it, threw the pen aside, and then put the dough over her face with both hands, and in an instant she transformed into a beautiful woman.
Isn't this the painted skin in the book of gods and monsters?
Qi Xuansu saw the cold, but he refused to be restrained, turned over and dismounted, led the horse to the side of the road, left the horse outside the door, and entered the spring building to avoid the team of paper people.
In an instant, the woman's laughter reverberated in all directions, making it impossible to tell from which direction it was coming from.
The woman who had previously drawn her eyebrows and sideburns appeared in front of Qi Xuansu, staring at Qi Xuansu as if she was looking at a piece of delicious fat.
Qi Xuansu only felt a layer of goosebumps, this is different from fighting in the rivers and lakes, dying in the hands of others, it is also a real fight, and if he dies, he can only blame himself for not being as good as others, so he is one
Understand the ghost.
But what is it to die in such an inexplicable place? That's a fool's errand.
The female ghost didn't care so much, she suddenly pounced towards Qi Xuansu, the nails of her ten fingers were long, the fangs in her mouth were looming, and her tongue hung directly down to her chest.
Qi Xuansu gritted his teeth and punched the female ghost in the head.
To Qi Xuansu's surprise, the female ghost was staggered by this punch, and seemed to be stunned, and after being stunned for a while, she actually covered her face and cried with a whimper.
Qi Xuansu was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, it is true that he has no cultivation, but the "people" here seem to be the same as him, in addition to some scary skills, they also have no magical powers, they are just "ordinary people". And he still has the strength of a young man, even the previous ghost pawn was overturned by him, plus he is a practitioner anyway, as long as he is not afraid, how can this weak woman who is in the skin and meat business be his opponent? This is not a martial arts script, those powerful women love to hide in the courtyard to be an oiran.
Qi Xuansu thought of this, he was bold, and looked at a few turtle slaves wearing green turbans around him who cowered and didn't dare to step forward, one by one, punching one by one, and all of them fell to the ground.
Seeing that Qi Xuansu, the evil star, was so terrifying, the painted woman couldn't cry, and hurriedly fled outside.
"Hmph, want to escape?" Qi Xuansu chased after him with an arrow step, and he wanted to get this "painted skin" back.
At this moment, a knife was slashed diagonally.
Qi Xuansu was taken aback and stopped suddenly.
The blade almost grazed Qi Xuansu's fingertips, and if he was one step too late, he would have half of his arm cut off by this knife.
Now he doesn't have flesh-and-blood supernatural powers, and if his arm is gone, it's really gone.
Qi Xuansu raised his eyes and saw that it was the executioner on the previous execution ground, holding the blue ghost-headed knife, and chased after him at some point.
Qi Xuansu secretly said that this old boy was yin enough, and when he turned back before, he didn't see anyone, so he quietly touched it while he relaxed his vigilance.
However, Qi Xuansu is no longer afraid of him, both sides have no magical powers, which is equivalent to the realm cultivation is equal, isn't this the same realm, Qi Xuansu has not been afraid of anyone.
Qi Xuansu looked around and saw an iron candlestick, he reached out and took the candlestick and used it as a fork.
The executioner didn't speak, and raised the ghost head knife in his hand to slash at Qi Xuansu's head.
Qi Xuansu didn't dodge or dodge, raised the candlestick in his hand, and crossed in front of him, about to block the knife, and by the way, test the strength of the executioner. If he has a lot of strength, then he will fight, and if he has little strength, then he will go directly.
However, to Qi Xuansu's surprise, the moment he blocked it fell into the air, not only did he not feel the force, but he also did not touch any real thing.
It wasn't that Qi Xuansu's move failed, but that the executioner's ghost-headed knife seemed to be just an illusion, and it passed through the candlestick in Qi Xuansu's hand and slashed at Qi Xuansu's neck.
Qi Xuansu only had one thought at this time, the old boy played yin, using supernatural powers?
