Chapter 8: Where Is My Head?
Mo Chuan didn't go far.
He chose a private house at random, found a secluded firewood house, and then settled down and sorted out the results of the corpse touching.
The loot is abundant:
a stack of all kinds of yin and yang scriptures, identity scriptures, and even transcendent scriptures;
a few taels of broken silver and half a copper coin;
more than a dozen talismans of unknown purpose;
There are also several Dao Gate artifacts and objects.
Such as:
More than ten pieces of mana lingering winning money are estimated to be given to others to ward off evil and pray for good fortune when they help the world.
A bronze seal, which should be an identity sign.
One side of the lightning strikes the peach wood five thunder tokens, in which there is a faint palpitating thunder power cruises.
A stainless steel seven-star sword, I don't know if it's a prop? Or carry-on armor?
and the three clear bells who once covered the headless ghost and Mo Chuan.
"It's really a person who has no windfall and no wealth, and a horse has no night grass and no fat!"
Looking at the bits and pieces in his hand, Mo Chuan sighed with emotion.
However, after careful sorting, you will find that although there are many things, most of them cannot be taken.
In this world, he Mo Chuan is just a rootless soul, and he can't hold mundane things at all.
Unless the skin is covered.
However, in doing so, although he has the ability to contact entities, his mobility is very limited, which is undoubtedly something he does not want to see.
Moreover, the painted skin is not as good as the flesh after all, and if there is a little crack, it will be like a deflated balloon and lose its shape.
Therefore, after some trying, Mo Chuan found that there were only two things that could be ingested into the body and taken away.
Sanqingling;
and more than a dozen talismans of unknown purpose.
This result made Mo Chuan quite depressed.
Eating the fat in your mouth, but you can't swallow it, can this be comfortable?
Just as he was thinking about finding a hidden place to hide the rest of the belongings, his heart moved, and he summoned the sacrificial furnace.
At this time, no one is incense, and the furnace mouth is empty.
He casually threw a winning coin into it.
Hey?
It was done!
Mo Chuan looked surprised, and after some attempts, he found that the belly of the sacrificial Dao furnace was as big as the sea, and even the three-foot-long stainless steel seven-star sword was also correct.
"What a baby!"
Mo Chuan's face was happy, with the bits and pieces of heavy stones, it would be much more convenient to do things in this world in the future.
"It's time to get down to business!"
After everything was cleaned up, Mo Chuan got up and left the firewood room of this private house.
……
……
The jade rabbit fell to the west, and the golden crow rose to the east.
The morning light is still hazy, and on the official road leading to the county seat, there have been figures rushing to gather.
The cold and refreshing dew wets the pants of pedestrians, but it can't extinguish the heat of people's hearts!
Today, there is a good show to watch in the county, and it has long been spread in ten miles and eight townships.
I heard that it was still the head of the official who was killed, tsk, I don't know how many people are looking forward to it.
Some people are looking for fun;
Some people are looking for lively people, and many villagers are carrying burdens on their shoulders and selling goods while they are lively;
There are also people who are sick and rush to the doctor, hiding steamed buns, hoping to find the blood of people who can cure their diseases. [Note 1]
Before dawn, Cao in the city was already full of popularity.
Vendors set up stalls, and tourists came and went.
What's more, he occupied the front row of the execution ground early, looking for a good position to watch the show.
The sun is rising.
The crowds at the execution site became more and more turbulent.
The crying of children, the angry scolding of young people, the shouting of peddlers, and the sound of discussion in the streets, one after another, are endless.
When the people's hearts were anxious, there was a boiling noise outside the execution ground.
robbed the spectators in the front row, stood on tiptoe and stretched out his head to look at the voice, his eyes lit up, and he exclaimed:
"It's coming! Here it comes! ”
In the midst of the chaos, a prisoner covered in dirt was escorted to the execution ground.
This prisoner looked very old, and estimated that he was in the age of a weak crown with strong blood, but his sunken and haggard face made him look very old.
Li Guanqi stared blankly at the dense crowd under the high platform of the execution ground, and his thoughts were empty as if he was sleepwalking.
"Dog officer!"
An angry scolding, like a barking dog in a cottage, attracted the audience full of righteous indignation.
"Dog officer, good kill!"
"Kill!"
"Do you have it today? A bloodsucking worm with a thousand cuts! ”
scolded angrily, gradually pulling Li Guanqi back from his thoughts.
He had the heart to open his mouth to shout and argue, but unfortunately, the rice and water that he had eaten for several days had already drained his strength.
Don't argue, and I don't have the strength to shout injustice.
He could only look around blankly, ashamed and angry in his heart, and the fear of imminent death tortured him like a knife, and he was drenched in cold sweat!
"Colleagues, today Li thief ambushed him, and the people all cheered, and peace was far away. This is a clear proof of the clarity of the Qingshui County officials and the strictness of the law! ”
"Qingshui County can have such a bright future, thanks to the dedication of Lord Qin, this is our luck......"
On the high platform behind the execution ground, the county Cheng Zhu Zhi stood up and praised loudly.
"Well said!"
"Lord Zhu, this is true! Yes, extremely! ”
When the surrounding officials heard this, they echoed it, and for a while, on the high platform, the fart sounded like thunder.
Enjoying the Qin County Order touted by everyone, he looked proud, and was full of poetry in the compliments of his colleagues:
"The wolf is greedy and the tiger eats the qi He Hao, and the evil is full of Cao in the city today! Colleagues, this fang is slashed, and it should be a big white thing! ”
When the sound fell, he proudly picked up a token, threw it down, and shouted:
"Slash!"
When the time came, the hustle and bustle of the execution ground was suddenly quiet.
Countless people held their breath, padded their toes, and stretched their necks to see the rare scene of killing heads.
Under the gaze of everyone, Li Guanqi trembled like chaff and closed his eyes in despair.
"Dare to ask sir, are you really greedy for treasury silver?"
Suddenly, a question came from his ear.
“…… Who? ”
Li Guanqi asked tremblingly, and no one around answered.
And he was tied to his knees, unable to look around.
"I have been in office for less than three months, how can I be greedy for that treasury silver? But the keepers of the treasury often carry broken silver with them for the door, and they must have framed me. ”
Li Guanqi mustered up his strength and issued a final rebuttal.
This shouting and justification attracted the appeasement of the executioner behind him: "Li Ku envoy, don't talk nonsense anymore, wait for a certain family to make the knife sharper, go all the way!" ”
Li Guanqi turned a deaf ear to the executioner's words, his eyes rolled wildly, and in his limited field of vision, he searched for the owner of the mysterious voice.
"Mr. Li, I am the help invited by your wife, the executioner has been bought by me, and I will use the word 'escape' as an order to cut your rope, and then you can rush off the stage and run home!"
"Remember, no matter what happens in the middle of the process, don't look back, let alone stop! Do you understand? ”
The mysterious voice came again.
"Understood!"
An indescribable frenzy and hope grew from Li Guanqi's heart.
He looked at the spectators under the execution ground, staring wide-eyed visitors, looking for a gap to escape.
The nerves were even more tense into strings, just waiting for that order.
At this moment, there was a dead silence in the huge execution ground.
Countless people stared at the executioner of the drinking sacrificial knife!
At the moment when the executioner raised the ghost-headed knife, several women timidly reached out to cover the child's eyes.
"Poof!"
The knife is in the flesh and blood, and the tongue is thundering!
"Run—"
Li Guanqi suddenly pounced when he heard the sound, and the master really cut the rope on his body.
He ran away excitedly.
In front of them, there were countless women and children and foolish people, holding coarse steamed buns, scrambling to be the first.
He was not angry but happy, and the surging crowd made way of fleeing.
He burrowed into the crowd, spread his legs, and ran as hard as he could, the thrill of escaping death made his heart beat like a drum and his face tense!
"Ahh
A scream suddenly came from the high platform behind the execution ground.
I saw Qin Xian Ling covering his neck, shouting with horror on his face.
"My head!! Where's my head?!! ”
The colleagues around looked at Qin County, who was still in high spirits a moment ago, but suddenly went crazy at this time, one by one in a hurry, at a loss.
"Poof!"
Qin Xian Ling rolled down from the high platform in a panic.
But he didn't notice it, closed his eyes tightly, and crawled on the execution ground groping for something, shouting in horror in his mouth.
"My head...... My head...... My head ......"
Suddenly!
He touched it.
He touched a bloody head.
He picked it up in ecstasy and placed it on his neck.
No, there was a foreign object on his neck, blocking him from placing his head.
He was immediately angry, grabbed the foreign object with both hands, and pulled it off with a sharp stroke.
The world is quiet.
Only a string of crisp bells came from the edge of the sky, looming, as if there was nothing.
"Jingle Bell ......"
