Chapter 5164 Enlightenment in the execution ground

the next day.

The capital of the ancient Xia Kingdom, in front of the execution ground.

This is an execution platform that has existed for hundreds of years. The execution platform is about half a person high, and the central part of the platform is black. It is said that it was caused by killing too many people and the blood was dried up.

The news of the execution in the execution ground has long since spread throughout the entire capital, and the people living in the capital rushed to tell the story, and they all came to watch.

Living in this prosperous capital, nothing is new, and only this execution can be enough to cause the people to live a peaceful life.

Before noon came, the people who came to watch had already surrounded the place, and everyone was arguing about who was going to be executed this time.

"I heard that someone is going to be executed again. I don't know what crime was committed this time!"

"Do you need any more charges? Are there still few people who have been killed over the years? I'm afraid some unfortunate person hit the gun again!"

"Yeah, that man half a month ago was killed just because he said something insulting to a high-ranking official in the countryside. I think it's similar this time!"

"You don't know, I heard that one of the people executed this time is still the champion of this year's new division!"

"What, even the champion of the new division was killed, what's the point?"

"Shh... Silence, the Guards are here!"

Suddenly, the noisy crowd fell silent. Everyone seemed to have seen the nemesis of the natural enemy. They hurriedly used the fastest speed to keep their mouths shut, and then looked in the direction of the Guards.

But when they saw that the prisoners were being escorted by the Janissaries, all the onlookers couldn't help but be taken aback.

The Imperial Guard is a guard dedicated to the monarch. If there is no extremely serious matter, the Imperial Guard will never be dispatched. Once the Imperial Guard appears, it means that the matter has become serious to a certain extent.

From the palace, the Guards marched out in a uniform line. In the two lines, they escorted five people in prison uniforms. Among these people, four of them knew that they were on their way to the execution ground. He also shouted and shouted again and again without fear. Although he was unkempt, he was very confident and kept shouting in his mouth.

If the people saw such a situation on weekdays, they would definitely go along and even interact with the death-row prisoner.

But this time today, not a single citizen spoke. The figure of the Praetorian Guards seemed to be a sharp sword hanging over everyone's head. As long as they were not careful, they would fall directly.

Among the five, only Scholar Xuanyuan did not say a word. His eyes were a little dull, but he was not frightened by the imminent execution, but was thinking about the sound of rain and thunder in the rainy night last night. feel.

For some reason, he knew that he was leading to death, but his heart was very peaceful, without much throbbing.

At this moment, he is savoring the verse of the Buddha: All conditioned dharmas are like dream bubbles, like dew and like electricity, and should be viewed like this!

Yes, everything in the world is like a dream bubble, but it is fleeting, what is permanent?

Court? The king?

Heaven? Fairyland?

Scholar Xuanyuan was still thinking seriously. He felt that the carriage that escorted him had stopped, and he was supported by several guards. He walked to the center of the execution platform. Then, he saw one of the guards waved his spear. , directly discounting one of Xuanyuan Scholar's legs, forcing him to kneel down.

Scholar Xuanyuan only murmured, and the blood flowed down his calf to the ground, once again soaking the maroon execution platform.

He knelt down, not under the power of the Guards, but because he felt that as a death row prisoner, he should kneel before his death, so that the executioner will be more comfortable when he swings down the butcher's knife. Some.

All five of them knelt on the ground in unison, facing all the people.

Then, the man in the scarlet robe with Xiezhi embroidered on the back came over, he spread out an oracle, and began to read out the guilt of several people.

Scholar Xuanyuan has no intention of caring about what crimes others have committed, nor does he care whether the crimes he has committed are enough for the death penalty.

The executioner had already held the wiped butcher's knife in his hand, and when he came to the first person, he raised the butcher's knife high, without any hesitation, he swung it round and chopped it down, only to hear a click. , the head of the first person rolled to the ground on the spot, blood sprayed, and the execution platform was covered in an instant.

Then the second person, the third person, the fourth person...

The executioner is obviously very proficient at this. His slashing movements are smooth and smooth, and even every incision on the head that is cut off is at the same angle. A shred of pain.

It is a blessing to be able to solve all the root causes of pain in an instant!

The executioner came behind Xuanyuan Scholar. He was about to swing his butcher's knife, but found that the blade of his butcher's knife was already a bit blunt. He had cut off four heads in a row. It was impossible for the blade to be blunt, but he cut too much I was so happy and so happy that I forgot the rule that every time I cut three people, I had to change a butcher's knife.

The executioner turned around and gestured to the man in the red robe, and the man in the red robe nodded, so the executioner stepped off the stage to clean the butcher knife.

The field fell into a dead silence again. Next to Xuanyuan Scholar, there were four headless corpses, and the four heads rolled to the side. Incomparably bright blood was flowing from east, west, north and south, as if forming a strange path. pattern.

Scholar Xuanyuan inadvertently glanced to his left and saw these strange patterns of blood. He suddenly smiled, as if some doubts and puzzles were suddenly resolved.

He laughed more and more arrogantly, and the angle of the corners of his mouth had greatly exceeded the level of wild laughter, but he did not make a sound, and after a long time, a hoarse whimper escaped from his throat.

The onlookers felt a little strange. Why was this person laughing for no reason? Didn't he know that he would be beheaded soon? Or that he was completely frightened after seeing the person next to him.

The man in red robe sitting behind the execution platform, after seeing Scholar Xuanyuan's posture, frowned slightly, and shouted sharply at him: "Scholar Xuanyuan, don't laugh for no reason, your time of death has come, die obediently!"

Scholar Xuanyuan did not turn his head. He listened to the voice of the man behind him, and a cold snort came out of his nostrils. As he gritted his upper and lower teeth, the first sentence after arriving at the execution ground came out, "Obviously die?"

Butcher knife broken

It rained all night last night. Although it was noon, it was still chilling. The sky was always gloomy. Although there were no dark clouds, there was a haze that enveloped people's hearts.

Because of the distance, no one heard Xuanyuan Scholar's words, and he did not exert any force.

In fact, now he doesn't have the strength to say a word for everyone to hear, he just needs to let himself hear it.

This is what he told himself, or, he told the naive self with ideals and ambitions in the past.

The blood of the four people next to him made him realize the way of heaven that he saw in the Taoist text. Since the way of humanity is so unfair, why should we obey this way of humanity?

If the way of heaven is unfair, why should I bow my head again?

And since the human way does not exist and the way of heaven is unfair, then you are your own way!

All the things that he couldn't figure out, all the doubts about Daowen, Xuanyuan Scholar figured it out all at once. That feeling made him feel extremely comfortable, as if his previous life had been groping in the fog, until this day, the fog suddenly disappeared. , everything suddenly became clear, and he saw the original appearance of the world.

The executioner had already returned with a sharp butcher's knife. He walked briskly behind him and tried to wave it a few times to get a feel for it. After all, cutting people is a technical job, and he is also a person who pursues the ultimate. , Be sure to go down with a knife to separate the corpse.

When waving, Pang Feng felt a cool breeze coming from the back of his head. It was the chill from the butcher's knife. He didn't have any fear, but just raised his chest lightly. People know that his sight has crossed the crowd and looked at the profound realm of immortality.

"Drink, yeah!"

After several attempts, the executioner finally found the feeling of slashing and killing the four people in front. He turned to the man in red robe and nodded, indicating that he could continue. The man in red robe gave him a cold smile and nodded to let him continue.

The executioner took a deep breath, stared at the back of Xuanyuan Scholar's neck with both eyes, raised the butcher's knife in his hand, and slashed at him diagonally from mid-air, only to hear a slam, the butcher's knife fell at an extremely fast speed. , he has chopped off hundreds of heads, and he has rich experience and has never missed a shot.

Only this time, with a swipe, it was not the thud of the head landing, but a crisp sonorous sound, as if a butcher knife had slashed into a hard rock.

"what?"

Before the executioner could react, his hands holding the butcher's knife felt a trace of numbness, and the vibrations were violently reflected, causing him to feel pain in his mouth. In panic, he let go of the hand holding the butcher's knife.

In this way, after slashing at Scholar Xuanyuan, the butcher knife escaped from the executioner's hand and flew to the edge of the execution ground. The sharp blade was inserted into the execution platform and swayed back and forth.

"how is this possible?"

At this moment, all the people onlookers could not help but exclaimed.

They have watched thousands of executions, although they have also seen many unexpected situations, such as an unskilled executioner who failed to cut off the prisoner's head once, and had to cut off a few more times, and some prisoners Scared to run around the execution ground, shot to death by guards with arrows, etc., and so on.

But like today, it is absolutely unheard of, and unseen, the first person to exist since the founding of the ancient Xia Kingdom.

The executioner was even more confused. He glanced at the butcher's knife on the edge of the execution platform, and then at Xuanyuan Scholar's neck.

There were no marks on the neck, but blunt marks appeared on the blade of the butcher's knife.

This scene also shocked the red-robed man. He suddenly stood up from the chair and was about to step forward to check what was going on. In the hazy sky, with a loud bang, the situation changed. , a huge vortex began to slowly condense.

Seeing this, the man in the red robe realized that something was wrong, and immediately shouted to the executioner: "Don't be stunned, immediately retrieve the butcher knife and execute the execution!"

"Yes, my lord!"

The executioner was also frightened by the scene in the air, but in comparison, he was more afraid of the man in red behind him.

Without saying a word, he ran to retrieve the butcher's knife, omitted the part of the test, and slashed at Scholar Xuanyuan again.

Keng!

There was another clanging metal trembling sound, and the executioner felt that his arms were going to be numb. If he hadn't clenched the butcher's knife tightly this time, he might have flown out again, but looking at his neck, there was still no hair. Lossless.

"Why can't it be chopped like a rock?"

The executioner was so puzzled that he slashed and killed hundreds of people. This was the first time in his life that he had seen such a strange phenomenon.

"You waste, won't you be stronger?"

The man in the red robe was angry. He glanced at the sky. The vortex was condensing more and more, and at the same time, it was pressing towards the ground. An invisible sense of oppression was slowly forming, and even the ground of the torture platform appeared. A slight crack.

Although the executioner was afraid of the vortex in the air, but seeing the furious appearance of the man in the red robe, he had no choice but to pick up the butcher's knife again, exerting his life's strength, and chopped it directly at the head.

With a click, Scholar Xuanyuan's head was unscathed, but the butcher knife broke into two pieces with a crisp sound.

"what?"

The audience exclaimed, their eyes were about to pop out!

The man in the red robe was even more twitching. How could things turn out like this? He was a little uneasy. If he couldn't kill him in time, no one could guarantee what would happen.

"Waste, what a waste, I'll come!"

The red-robed man stepped out of the high platform in one step, then flashed past, snatched a long spear from the hands of a janitor, then jumped up and stabbed straight at Scholar Xuanyuan's back.

The long spear hissed, and the torrential rain poured down at this moment, as if someone had dumped the rain directly, and the rain fell on the ground in an instant.

But this did not affect the attack of the red-robed man in the slightest. He already felt that a dangerous atmosphere was approaching. Although this move might damage his reputation, if he didn't do it, he would be even more dangerous.

The point of the spear was about to pierce into Xuanyuan Scholar's back, and the man in the red robe couldn't help laughing. He was just a weak scholar. The point of the spear pierced into his back and immediately entered his heart, so he could do it himself. Kill him easily.

However, at this moment, the vortex in the air fell at an incredible speed, directly covering the entire execution ground. Everyone was dizzy, and the huge rain blocked everyone's sight.

The violent storm, the lightning and thunder, like the world is whimpering!

The sound of the wind swept through everything, and all the guards, the executioner, including the man in red, were all swept into the air.
