Chapter 4 The First Beheading
Author: Stubborn Stray Dog
Just over ten days later, Lu Yang finally waited for the opportunity and ushered in his first beheading since becoming an executioner.
In the small courtyard, Lu Dahong's expression was solemn and solemn. He looked at Lu Yang who was even a little eager to try. He had mixed feelings in his heart. He obviously did not expect that his son would have such a high acceptance of the profession of executioner.
"Ayang, remember what I said, don't be nervous." He gave a few more uneasy instructions before taking Lu Yang out with the ghost-headed sword on his back.
execution ground.
From a distance, Lu Yang saw a suspect kneeling on the ground wearing a hood. Unexpectedly, this suspect turned out to be a woman. The beheading officer in official uniform on the beheading platform in the distance had an expression on his face.
Somewhat impatient.
Lu Yang immediately put on the red clothes that Lu Dahong had prepared for execution, and took Lu Dahong's ghost-headed sword.
There were not many people around the execution ground, because the execution scene was too brutal and bloody, so most people were not interested in watching the execution.
It's just that when some death row criminals with heinous crimes are beheaded, the government will force the people living nearby to come and watch, so as to serve as a warning to others.
But obviously, today's suspect has not yet reached the level of heinous crime, so the number of people who came to watch was not large, and they basically came spontaneously.
These people who come here spontaneously do not like to see people being beheaded, but there is an evil folk remedy in which soup made from the heart blood of people after they have been beheaded can cure all kinds of diseases.
The medical conditions in this era were very backward, and many people had family members who were seriously ill, so they all brought porcelain bowls to collect their painstaking efforts.
Although according to the regulations, you have to wait until three quarters of noon before you can be executed, but the rules are strict. Unless you are a death row prisoner at the level of a relative of the emperor, most of the time, the execution officer will ask you to be executed in advance.
Although the time had not yet reached three quarters to noon, the executioner seemed not to want to wait any longer. When he learned that the executioner was ready, he pulled out the red-headed arrow from the table and threw it heavily.
"cut!"
Lu Yang on the side took a deep breath and walked behind the kneeling suspect with a ghost-headed sword. Although he had seen this scene many times, when it came time to do it himself, he still felt uneasy in his heart.
Suppressing his frantically beating chest, he spat out a sip of wine on the Ghost Head Sword. The "Owl's Head Blade" movement method that he had practiced countless times in his mind was running wildly, raising his strength to a peak at this moment.
"Pfft!"
He raised the knife and dropped it, and the head wrapped in a black hood rolled to the ground. Lu Yang felt his whole body tremble and his hands and feet were a little numb.
"Ayang, Ayang?"
Lu Dahong's rough voice woke him up, but his face still looked a little distraught. He returned home with the red tape and immediately fell on the bed.
He slept for a full day and night. When he woke up again, his mood had calmed down a lot. He adjusted his mentality for a while and let out a soft cry in his heart.
"Black Moon."
The familiar illusory panel appeared in front of him again. He took a closer look and saw that his life source changed from 0 to 1.
"As expected..." He felt happy at first, but then shook his head with a wry smile, "It seems that I am destined to never live a stable life in the future."
In his previous life, in order to obtain the source of life, he worked as a killer in the assassin organization. He killed many people and was hunted down by the government. Unexpectedly, he became an executioner in this life and became a murderer for the government.
But unlike the killer, the executioner kills according to the law, and basically does not have to worry about his enemies coming to his door. It can be regarded as the most suitable profession for him at present.
The life of an executioner is more nourishing than other civilian occupations. The time when you are not working is free, and when you are working, it is just a matter of one knife.
…
Time flies by very quickly, and in the blink of an eye it is already six months later.
Inside the room, Lu Yang looked at the illusory panel in front of him, controlling his mind and moving towards the golden body.
[To upgrade [Golden Body Skill] to the next level, you need to consume 5 life sources. Do you want to upgrade it?]
"yes!"
[Golden Body Kung Fu (Introductory) → (Xiao Cheng)]
"puff."
A soft sound came from his body. This sound sounded extremely subtle from the outside, but in his mind, it was like the earth was shattering. The muscles and bones in his body roared with a strange rhythm, and there were waves of low thunder.
It crackled inside him.
The next moment, his body became thicker and burlier at a speed visible to the naked eye. His original height of only 1.7 meters suddenly expanded to 1.8 meters, and his exposed skin glowed with a faint red sheen.
The golden body has achieved a small level of achievement, the bronze body!
He took a deep breath and exhaled it slowly. The breath was long and powerful. Without hesitation, he controlled his mind and moved towards the golden body skill on the panel again!
[Upgrading [Golden Body Skill] to the next level requires 15 life sources. Do you want to upgrade?]
"Crack crack..."
Louder crisp sounds continued to sound, and the already tall body rose again, until it was close to 1.9 meters before slowly stopping. The luster of the body changed from copper to silver, outlining an almost perfect streamlined body.
The realm of golden body and silver body!
Lu Yang twisted his joints, and there was a crackling sound all over his body. The next moment, his mind moved, and the silvery-white luster on his body quickly disappeared, returning to the color of ordinary skin. His body, which was originally close to 1.9 meters tall, was
It also shrunk rapidly under control and eventually returned to its original appearance.
He had worked hard to save his life source for more than six months, but it was all used up at this moment, just to raise the Golden Body Skill to Dacheng in one go, so as to achieve the state of free control of the body and disguise his cultivation level.
"The peak of inferiority..." Feeling the surge of power in his body, he felt inexplicably more stable in his heart, "...Now, I finally have the power to protect myself."
Jinshen Kung Fu is a traditional martial arts at the intermediate level. Only when you practice to a perfect state can you have the strength of the intermediate level. Lu Yang has now reached the Dacheng state, which is the peak strength of the lower level.
Although the inferior realm is only the first realm of martial arts practice, it is not as easy to reach as imagined. To break through this realm, most martial arts practitioners need more than ten years of hard training.
And the combat power in this realm is far more powerful than imagined. For ordinary people, it is already a superhuman existence. Just like Lu Yang now, ordinary people can hardly cause harm to him even if they hold a sword.
"Liaozhou...Luoyan City, I remember that the special NPC who possesses the "White Ape Forging Sutra" is here." He frowned slightly, and some vague memories emerged in his mind again.
With strength, he can finally retrieve the memories of his past life and rely on his foresight to find some more powerful martial arts.
In [Flying Immortal], martial arts can be divided into two categories: Chuan Wu and Secret Martial Arts. The limit that Chuan Wu can be cultivated to is the peak of superiority. If you want to continue to break through, you must practice Secret Martial Arts.
"Secret martial arts..." He repeated these two words in his mouth, and a somewhat crude plan gradually took shape in his mind.
