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 a execution platform that has existed for hundreds of years. The execution platform is about half a person tall, and the center of the table is black. It is said that it was caused by killing too many people and the blood stains were dried up.

The execution of the execution in the execution ground has long been spread throughout the capital. People living in the capital have all come to watch.

Living in this prosperous capital, nothing is new. Only this execution can cause a slight turmoil in the people's life.

Before noon arrived, the onlookers had already surrounded the place, and everyone was scrambling to discuss the person to be executed this time.

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

"Is there any crime you need? Haven't you killed so few people over the years? I'm afraid that some unlucky guy hit the gun again!"

"Yes, the man half a month ago was killed just because he said something insulted the important officials in the court in the countryside. I think it's almost the same this time!"

"You don't know this. I heard that one of the people who were executed this time is still the top scorer in the new subject this year!"

"What, even the new top scorer was killed, what's the reason?"

"Shhh... Silence, the Imperial Guards are here!"

Suddenly, the noisy crowd suddenly became silent. Everyone seemed to have seen their natural enemy nemesis, and hurriedly shut up as quickly as possible, and then looked towards the direction of the Imperial Guards.

But when they saw that the prisoner was escorted by the Imperial Guard, all the onlookers were shocked.

The Imperial Guard is a guard exclusively for the monarch. Without extremely serious matters, this Imperial Guard will never be dispatched. Once the Imperial Guard appears, it means that the matter has reached a certain level of seriousness.

The Imperial Guards lined up from the palace in an orderly manner, and among the two lines, five people in prison uniforms were escorted. Among these people, four of them shouted and shouted without any fear on their way to the execution ground. Although they were unkempt, they were very confident and kept shouting.

If people see this on weekdays, they must agree and even interact with the death row prisoner.

But this time, no one spoke. The figure of the Imperial Guard was hanging on everyone's heads like sharp swords. If you are not careful, it will fall down directly.

Among the five people, only Shusheng Xuanyuan said nothing. His eyes were a little dull, but he was not scared by the imminent execution, but was thinking about the feeling that he felt when he listened to the sound of rain and thunder last night.

For some reason, even though he knew that he was leading to death, his heart was very peaceful and not very throbbing.

At this moment, he was savoring the Buddhist verse: All conditioned dharmas are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, and shadows, like dew and lightning, and you should make such observations!

Yes, everything in the world is like a dream, but it is fleeting. What is permanent?

Court? Prince?

Heavenly Way? Immortal Realm?

Scholar Xuanyuan was still thinking seriously. He felt that the carriage that was escorting him had stopped. He was carried by several imperial guards and walked to the center of the execution platform. Then, one of the imperial guards waved the spear in his hand and directly broke one of the leg of Scholar Xuanyuan and forced him to kneel down.

Scholar Xuanyuan only made a grunt, and blood flowed all over the floor along the calves, staining the maroon-red execution platform again.

He knelt down, not because he surrendered to the power of the Imperial Guards, but because he felt that as a death row prisoner, he would kneel down as expected before his death, so that the executioner would be more comfortable when he waved his butcher's knife.

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

Then, the man wearing a red robe with a shaved figure embroidered on his back came over, he spread out a sage edict and began to read out the crimes of several people.

Scholar Xuanyuan had no intention of caring about what crimes others had committed, nor did he care whether the sin he had committed was enough to the death penalty. At this moment, he just wanted to quickly let the executioner's knife swing, end his life, and leave this dirty world.

The executioner had already held the wiped butcher knife in his hand and came to the first person. He raised the butcher knife high, without any hesitation, and directly slammed it down. With a crack, the first person's head rolled on the ground on the spot, blood spurted, and instantly spilled the execution platform.

Next is the second person, the third person, the fourth person...

The executioner was obviously very skilled in this. His slashing movements were flowing, and even every cut-off incision at the same angle. He had practiced this technique to a state of superb level, so that the subjects could not feel any pain.

Being able to solve the root of all pain in an instant is not a kind of happiness!

The executioner came behind Xuanyuan Shusheng. He was about to wave the butcher knife, but found that the blade of the butcher knife was a little blunt. He had chopped four heads in a row. It was impossible for the blade to not be blunt, but he cut too much and was so happy that he forgot the rule that every time he cut three people, he had to change the rule of another butcher knife.

The executioner turned around and signaled to the man in red robe. The man in red robe nodded, so the executioner stepped down to clean up the butcher's knife.

The field fell into dead silence again. Next to Shusheng Xuanyuan were four headless corpses, and the four heads rolled aside. The extremely bright blood flowed from east to west, south to north, as if forming a strange pattern.

Scholar Xuanyuan accidentally glanced at him to the left and saw the strange patterns made of blood. He suddenly smiled, as if he had some doubts and confusion suddenly unraveled.

He laughed more and more arrogantly. The angle of the corner of his mouth had far exceeded the level of laughter, but he did not make any noise. It took him a long time to squeeze out a hint of hoarse whimper from his throat.

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

The man in red robe sitting behind the execution platform caught a glimpse of the posture of Shusheng Xuanyuan, frowned slightly, and shouted at him: "Scholar Xuanyuan, don't laugh for no reason, your death is over, be obedient!"

Xuanyuan Scholar did not look back. He listened to the voice of the man behind him and snorted coldly in his nose. As his upper and lower teeth moved, he jumped out his first sentence after coming to the execution ground, "Do you die obediently?"

Chapter 5165 The butcher's knife broke

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

Because of distance, no one heard what Shusheng Xuanyuan said, and he did not use any effort.

In fact, now he doesn't have the strength to say something that everyone hears. He just needs to let himself hear this sentence.

This is what he said to himself, or, to the naive self who had ideals and ambitions in the past.

The blood of the four people next to him made him understand the way of heaven seen in the Taoist text. Since humanity is so unfair, why should he still abide by this humanity?

If the way of heaven is unfair, why should we bow down and surrender again?

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

All the things that he couldn't understand and all the doubts about Daowen were understood at once. The feeling made him feel extremely comfortable, as if his previous life had been groping in the fog until this day, suddenly the clouds disappeared and everything suddenly became clear. He saw the original appearance of the world.

The executioner had already changed into a sharp butcher knife and walked behind him with a brisk step. He tried to wave it a few times to find the feel. After all, chopping people is a technical job, and he is also a person who pursues the ultimate. You must cut off one knife and separate the body.

When he waved, Pang Feng felt a hint of cool breeze coming from behind his head. It was the chill from the butcher knife. He had no fear, but just raised his chest lightly, as if his eyes were staring at the people, but no one knew that his eyes had passed by everyone and looked at the deep world of immortal cultivation.

"Drink, yeah!"

After several trials, the executioner finally found the feeling of slashing the four people in front of him. He nodded sideways to the man in red robe, indicating that he could continue. The man in red robe replied with a cold smile and nodded to him to continue.

The executioner took a deep breath, stared at the back of Shusheng Xuanyuan's neck with his eyes, raised the butcher knife in his hand, and slashed it from mid-air. With a sound of swish, the butcher knife fell down at an extremely fast speed. He had cut off hundreds of heads, rich experience, and never missed.

But this time, with a swish, it was not the plop of the head falling to the ground, but a crisp clanging sound, as if a butcher knife had cut on the hard rock.

"What?"

Before the executioner could react, his hands holding the butcher knife felt a little numb, and the vibration was violently reflected, which made his mouth hurt. In panic, he let go of the hand holding the butcher knife.

In this way, after slashing at Shusheng Xuanyuan, the butcher knife took off 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 that possible?"

At this moment, all the people watching couldn't help but exclaim.

They watched thousands of executions, although they had seen many unexpected situations, such as a not-so-skilled executioner who failed to cut off the prisoner's head at one time, had to cut off a few more times. Some prisoners were so scared that they ran around the execution ground, shot to death by guards, and so on.

But like today, it is absolutely unheard of and unseen to shake the butcher's knife away. Since the founding of the ancient Xia Kingdom, the first person has existed.

The executioner was even more confused. He looked at the butcher knife on the edge of the punishment platform, and then looked at the neck of Shusheng Xuanyuan.

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

This scene immediately shocked the man in red robe. He stood up from the chair and was about to go forward to check what was going on. In the hazy sky, with a loud thunderous sound, the wind and clouds changed, and a huge vortex began to slowly condense.

Seeing this, the man in red robe realized that something was wrong and immediately shouted at the executioner: "Don't stand there, pick up the butcher's knife immediately and execute the death penalty!"

"Yes, sir!"

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

Without saying a word, he ran to pick up the butcher knife, and then saved the part of the trial, and chopped towards Xuanyuan Scholar again.

Clam!

There was another clanging metal trembling sound, and the executioner felt that his arms were about to be numb. If he hadn't clenched his butcher's knife this time, he might have probably flew out again, but looking at his neck, he was still unscathed.

"Why can't you cut it, like a rock?"

The executioner was very puzzled. He slashed hundreds of people, and this was the first time he had seen such a strange phenomenon in his life.

"A waste, won't you be more struggling?"

The man in red robe was angry. He looked at the sky. The vortex was gathering larger and larger, and it was also pressing towards the ground. An invisible sense of oppression was slowly forming, and even a few cracks appeared on the ground of the punishment platform.

Although the executioner was afraid of the whirlpool in the air, he looked at the man in red robe who was furious and had to pick up the butcher knife again, use his lifelong strength to chop directly towards his head.

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

"What?"

The audience exclaimed, their eyes almost glaring!

The man in red robe had even twitched his face. How could things turn out like this? He was a little uneasy. If he could not kill him in time, no one could guarantee what would happen.

"Waste, he is a waste, I'll do it!"

The man in red robe stepped out of the platform, then flashed past, snatched a spear from an imperial guard, then jumped up, and stabbed straight towards Xuanyuan Scholar's back.

The spear was roaring, and the heavy rain also poured down at this moment, as if someone had poured the rain directly down, and the rain in the sky instantly hit the ground.

But this did not affect the attack of the man in red robe at all. He already felt that a dangerous aura was approaching. Although this move may damage his reputation, if he did not do so, he would be even more dangerous.

The tip of the gun was about to pierce into the back of Scholar Xuanyuan. The man in the red robe couldn't help laughing. He was just a weak scholar. The tip of the gun was pierced into the back and then entered his heart, and he could easily kill him.

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

Storm, lightning, thunder, and whimpering like heaven and earth!

The wind blew, sweeping everything, and all the guards, executioners, and men in red robe were all swept into the air.
