Once sitting in front of the window, looking in the direction of Qinghua Mountain, although the building covers the sky, it seems that once it can see through the wall and see Qinghua Mountain, looking intently and motionless.

"Hey——, what are you doing?"

Once he was slapped by Qingyang behind him like this, he was so scared that he lost seven points of his soul.

"Oh, I said, how do you walk without sound? I'm scared to death by you. ”

"It's you yourself in a daze who didn't hear if it was good or not, I have been knocking on your door for a long time. ”

Seeing the door open, he hurriedly closed the door and asked Qingyang, "How did you get into the provincial department?"

Qingyang sat down at the table proudly, poured a glass of water and drank it, she said that there was no place in the world that she couldn't go.

"Okay, well, under the ordinary, you are the best. By the way, did you come to me for something this time?"

Qingyang grabbed Yi's wrist and wanted to take her to the street to play.

How could he just promise Qingyang like this, he was still afraid that he would gossip when he saw him, "No, no, no, no." ”

"No, that's not going to work! I didn't think about going back so early when I left the palace this time, and if you don't go out on the street with me, don't blame ......me."

"What are you going to do?"

"Indecent—"

Qingyang's sentence is wonderful.

Closed doors, lonely men and women!

What else can I do in the first place, I had to quickly cover Qingyang's mouth, and then succumb to her "plot".

The two of them really went out like this and went to the market.

"Why are there so many people in front of you? Let's see. ”

"Hey, Li Qingyang, don't run. ”

Qingyang turned around and made a quick gesture to Yichao, "Oh, you hurry up, you can't catch up with the excitement." ”

This girl was still tired just now, and when she saw the excitement, she was like a free rabbit, running fast, and suddenly plunged into the crowd.

Looking at the tight human wall in front of him, he was thinking about where Qingyang had just turned in, but he couldn't find a place to put his feet down.

Once I had to admire Qingyang's ability to drill the human wall. Just when he hesitated and didn't know what to do, Qingyang came out of the crowd again, and no one paid attention, and the two bumped into each other.

"Ouch hey, it hurts me. How did you get out of here?"

Qingyang didn't speak, nor did she cry out in pain, because at this time she had already held her mouth with her hand, as if she was holding something and not letting herself spit it out.

"What's wrong with you?"

Qingyang just shook her hand vigorously, her mouth was sealed by herself, and she could only tell Yichao with her eyes that she was going to vomit. But in the end, I couldn't hold back and spit it out.

Fortunately, he reacted in time, but the clothes on his left chest were stained with a little Qingyang's vomit.

"Whew, it's dangerous......"

It's too late to rejoice, Qingyang hasn't spit it out yet, and spit it on Yichao again.

It's a blessing or a curse, and it's a disaster that can't be avoided. This time, I can't hide from it.

"I said county lord, can't you just vomit all at once? I, I'm ...... Hey!"

Qingyang retched a few times to confirm that he was no longer throwing up.

Once looked at Qingyang's uncomfortable appearance, he didn't have the heart to blame, just patted her on the back next to her.

"What's wrong with you, why are you still throwing up?"

"Dead!"

"What dead man?"

"Human heads!"

"What head?"

"Dead man's head!"

"Oh, you can tell me clearly, what dead man, dead man's head?"

The conversation between the two was overheard by others, who saw that they were really uncomfortable talking about chickens and ducks, so they told one day that this was the scene of the execution, and that three condemned prisoners were going to be beheaded here for public display.

"Someone beheaded here?"

"Yes, these are all extremely vicious criminals, and today is the day when they will be punished. ”

Coincidentally, Qingyang had just passed through the crowd to the front, but he didn't expect to see the scene of the knife rising and falling at the first glance. A young lady who has never even killed a fish has seen such a bloody scene. was still big enough in Qingyang's heart, and he didn't faint directly, but he was so disgusted that he vomited out his breakfast.

Once he saw that Qingyang was okay, he pointed to his mouth and signaled that Qingyang still had dirt on her mouth.

Qingyang, who was reminded by a day, pulled through a sleeve.

"What are you going to do? You're not going to ......."

Once guessed correctly, Qingyang tugged on his sleeve to wipe his mouth.

"My aunt—"

"Anyway, your clothes are already dirty, so they should be a little dirtier. ”

"You know my clothes are dirty, are you embarrassed?"

"Okay, well, there's a river in front of you, I'll wash it for you. ”

As he spoke, Qingyang started to pull a day.

"No need, no ......"

Qingyang didn't care how he shirked it, so he was stunned and ripped off his coat and walked to the river.

However, he stopped behind Qingyang and kept stopping: "It's really useless, you better return the clothes to me first, and I'll take them back myself." ”

Who knows, Qingyang just soaked his clothes in the river, and after a while, he fished them up, "Oh, wash it and return it to you, I don't owe it." ”

Holding the wet clothes, "I know, I know it's like this......!"

Just by the river, on the bank of the river not far from the two of them, a handsome girl was holding a string of Buddhist beads in her hand, and she was still chanting words in her mouth, as if she was reciting Buddhist scriptures.

Qingyang asked the woman, "What are you doing here?"

"The executioner is my father, and when he uses a knife, I always put a lamp here. ”

The two noticed that there were three river lanterns around the woman.

Qingyang came to the woman's side, squatted down and played with one of the river lanterns, "Why are you putting the lamp?"

The woman took the river lantern back from Qingyang's hand, "Sister, this river lantern can't be messed around." I am here to put the lamp in prayer for these condemned prisoners. If the beheaded person has good thoughts in his heart before the execution, his soul can go with the lamp and pass to the West. ”

"Ling'er—"

"I won't tell you yet, my senior brother called me. ”

With that, the woman got up, bypassed the crowd, and walked behind the execution.

"Let's go and see. ”

"Look, I don't want to go. ”

"Alright, you just wait for me here, I'll go and see. ”

"Hey, don't leave me alone......"

Without waiting for Qingyang to finish speaking, he had already stepped forward and got into the crowd.

At this moment, it was the turn of the second prisoner on the execution table to accept the death penalty, and the executioner standing behind him was ready, just waiting for the order of the inspector.

"The hour has come, the executioner has received the order, and the execution will be carried out immediately!"

The executioner raised his sword and fell, and in an instant, he cut off the prisoner's head. The executioner immediately caught the head, and before the blood spurted, he brought the head back to the prisoner's neck, and then wrapped the yellow charm around the broken wound in the neck, without spilling a drop of blood around it.

The citizens who were watching the execution saw that the prisoner had been punished, and they all clapped their hands and applauded, "Master Chen is so good!"

"Who is Master Chen?"

One asked the person next door.

"Well, it's the executioner, Master Chen. You don't know?"

The master Chen in that man's mouth was a weak-looking man, with gray hair but neatly combed, and a beard that was kept but well groomed. He is not like the general appearance of an executioner in people's consciousness, what a big man, dark and rugged appearance can not be seen in Master Chen at all.

This Master Chen had never met before, let alone heard his name, he shook his head, "I don't know." ”

"His name is Chen Jindao, and he is the head of the Chang'an Golden Dao Gate. He is also a full-time executioner in Chang'an's major execution grounds, with first-class knife skills, and has slashed countless death row prisoners. ”

"A thousand people with a golden sword?"

"Speaking of this name, you happened to meet it today, today is the day when Master Chen sealed the knife. There is an ancestral rule in their Golden Knife Gate, that is, when each master kills the thousandth criminal, he must seal the sword and abdicate and pass the golden knife to his descendants. What you just saw is the thousandth prisoner killed by Master Chen. Oh, you are looking at it, standing next to Master Chen, is his only apprentice, and the next master of the Golden Dao Sect, Chen Xiaodao. ”

This man named Chen Xiaodao is a kid in his early twenties, who has not dried up. Compared with his master, he has lost a lot in terms of image, less majestic and calm, and a little more frivolous and fearful.

Originally, there were three death row prisoners to be beheaded in the execution ground, and after the second prisoner was punished, Master Chen had to perform a simple ceremony of sealing and passing the knife in public.

On one side of the torture table, Master Chen set up a table there. On display on the table are a silk cloth and a pot of early morning wildflower dew. I had just seen it by the river, and the woman named Ling'er was also standing there.

Master Chen placed the golden knife on the table, moistened the wildflower dew with a silk plain cloth, and wiped the blade of the golden knife twice.

Once a little curious about what Master Chen was doing, he asked others, "What is he doing this time?"

"He's purifying the knife. The cloth is a silk plain cloth, which is made of the silk that was spit out at the beginning when the silkworm chrysalis formed a cocoon, without any processing, symbolizing new life. And the wildflower dew in that pot symbolizes purity. Master Chen wiped the golden knife with silk cloth in order to wash away the demonic and resentful energy on the bloodthirsty golden knife. ”

After cleaning the knife, Master Chen called his disciple Chen Xiaodao, and he asked Chen Xiaodao to kneel with his back to him, and he said a word, and Xiaodao said a word.

Chen Jindao stood behind the knife, holding the golden knife in his hand, reversing the blade, and using the back of the knife to the top of the knife's head, "The golden knife on his head, impartially enforcing the law, worthy of the ...... of heaven and earth"

The knife also read according to what the master said: "The golden knife on the head, impartially enforce the law, and be worthy of the ...... of heaven and earth."

Then, Chen Jindao used the back of the knife to tap on the left and right shoulders of the knife, "Carrying the golden knife on his shoulders, he is burdened with heavy responsibilities and is not afraid of hardships and dangers." ”

"Carrying a golden knife on his shoulders, he is burdened with heavy responsibilities, and he is not afraid of hardships and dangers. ”

After the oath-taking ceremony, Chen Xiaodao took the golden knife from his master's hand, the knife was too heavy and he couldn't hold it steadily, and he almost smashed his foot.

At this point, the sealing knife and passing the knife are all completed.

Coincidentally, today is not only the last person to be beheaded by the old master Chen Jindao, but also the first person to be killed by the new master Chen Xiaodao.
