Eat the incense of the world, I am actually the underworld

Chapter 8 Where is my head?

Mo Chuan didn't go far.

He chose a private house at random, looking for a secluded firewood house, and settled down to sort out the results of the corpse groping.

Lots of loot:
A stack of all kinds of yin and yang scriptures, status scriptures, and even transgression scriptures;
A few taels of silver and half a penny of copper coins;
More than ten talismans with unknown uses;

There are also several Taoist instruments and objects.

for example:

More than a dozen pieces of Yasheng coins lingering in mana are estimated to be given to others to avoid evil and pray for good luck when helping the world and saving people.

A bronze seal, which should be an identity mark.

One party struck the mahogany and five thunder tokens, and there was a palpitating power of thunder floating in it.

A stainless steel seven-star sword, I wonder if it is a prop for making?Or carry armor?
And San Qingling who once covered the headless ghost and Mo Chuan.

"It's true that people can't get rich without windfall, and horses can't get fat without night grass!"

Looking at the bits and pieces in his hands, Mo Chuan was filled with emotion.

However, after careful sorting, you will find that although there are many things, most of them cannot be taken away.

In this world, he, Mo Chuan, is just a strand of rootless soul who can't handle vulgar objects at all.

Unless covered with a painted skin.

However, if he does this, although he has the ability to contact entities, his ability to move is very limited, which is undoubtedly what he does not want to see.

Moreover, the painted skin is not as good as the physical body after all, if it breaks even a little bit, it will lose its shape like a deflated balloon.

So after some experimentation, Mo Chuan found that what he could ingest and take away from his body was only different.

San Qingling;
And more than a dozen talismans of unknown use.

This result made Mo Chuan quite depressed.

Can you feel comfortable eating the fat in your mouth but not being able to swallow it?
Just as he was thinking about finding a hiding place to hide the rest of the things, his heart moved and he called out the Dao Furnace for Sacrifice.

At this time, no one offered incense, and the mouth of the furnace was empty.

He casually threw a winning coin into it.

Huh?
It's done!
Mo Chuan was surprised, and after some experimentation, he found that the furnace belly of the Dao of Sacrifice was as big as the sea, and even the three-foot-long stainless steel Seven-Star Sword was just right.

"What a sweet baby!"

Mo Chuan had a happy expression on his face. With Chongshizi's odds and ends, it will be much more convenient to do things in this world in the future.

"It's time to get down to business!"

After everything was tidied up, Mo Chuan got up to let go of his anger and left the woodshed of the private house.

……

……

The jade rabbit falls in the west, and the golden crow rises in the east.

The morning light was still hazy, and on the official road leading to the county seat, there were already figures going to the market.

The cold and heart-warming dew wets the trousers of pedestrians, but it can't extinguish the hotness of people's hearts!
Today, there is a beheading show to watch in the county seat, and it has long been spread in the ten miles and eight towns.

I heard that the head of the official was killed, tsk, I don't know how many people are looking forward to this matter.

someone looking for fun;
Some people are looking for lively people, and many villagers are carrying burdens on their shoulders, selling goods while the crowd is busy;

There are also people who go to the doctor in an emergency and hide steamed buns in their arms, hoping to find the human blood that can cure the disease. 【Note 1】

Before dawn, the city is already full of people.

Traffickers set up stalls, and tourists come and go endlessly.

What's more, occupy the front row of the execution ground early, looking for a good seat to watch the play.

The sun is rising.

The crowd in the execution ground became more and more turbulent.

The cries of children, the angry cursing of young and old, the hawking of vendors, and the discussions among the public, one after another, can be heard endlessly.

When the hearts of the people were anxious, there was a sudden uproar outside the execution ground.

He snatched the spectators in the front row, stood on tiptoe and stretched his head to look at the sound, his eyes lit up immediately, and he said:

"I'm coming!"

In the chaos, a prisoner covered in dirt was brought to the execution ground.

The prisoner looked young, probably in his prime of life, but his sunken and haggard face made him look very old.

Li Guanqi stared blankly at the densely packed crowd under the high platform of the execution ground, his thoughts were empty like sleepwalking.

"Dog officer!"

An angry curse, like a copycat dog barking first, aroused righteous indignation in the audience.

"Dog officer, good kill!"

"kill!"

"You have today too? A blood-sucking insect who has suffered a thousand knives!"

A loud curse gradually pulled Li Guanqi back from his confused thoughts.

He wanted to open his mouth to cry out his grievances, but unfortunately, the rice and water he had eaten in the past few days had already exhausted his strength.

Don't talk about refuting, and you don't have the strength to cry for injustice.

He could only look around blankly, feeling ashamed and angry in his heart, and the fear of imminent death tortured his heart like a knife, and he was dripping with cold sweat!

"My fellow colleagues, the common people cheered and cheered today when Li Thief was executed. This is a clear proof of the cleanliness of Qingshui County's officials and the strictness of the law!"

"Qingshui County can have such a bright and bright world, all thanks to Master Qin's dedication and dedication, this is our luck..."

On the high platform behind the execution ground, the county magistrate Zhu Zhi stood up and praised loudly.

"well said!"

"Master Zhu, this statement is extreme! It is extreme!"

The surrounding officials echoed the words one after another, and for a while, farts sounded like thunder on the high platform.

Sitting and enjoying the praise of everyone, the county magistrate of Qin, with a smug face, was very poetic amidst the compliments of his colleagues:

"Wolf greedy and tiger devouring Qi, He Hao, who is full of evil in the current market! Colleagues, once this fang is cut off, it will be revealed!"

After the sound fell, he proudly took a token, threw it down, and shouted:

"cut!"

Suddenly, the noisy execution ground suddenly fell silent.

Countless people held their breath, rested their toes, and stretched their necks, watching the rare beheading scene.

Under everyone's gaze, Li Guanqi trembled like chaff, and closed his eyes in despair.

"Dare to ask, sir, did you really corrupt Ku Yin?"

Suddenly, a question came from beside his ear.

"……Who?"

Li Guanqi asked tremblingly, but no one around answered.

And he was bound and kneeling, unable to look around at all.

"I have been in office for less than three months, how could I be greedy for that treasury silver? But the treasury guards often carry broken silver with them for the sake of the door. They must have framed me."

Li Guanqi summoned up his strength and issued a final rebuttal.

This yelling and justification attracted the comfort of the executioner behind him: "Li Kushi, stop talking nonsense, and a certain family will use their knives more sharply later, and the journey will be easy!"

Li Guanqi turned a deaf ear to the executioner's words, his eyes rolled wildly, looking for the owner of the mysterious voice in his limited field of vision.

"Mr. Li, I am the helper invited by your wife. The executioner has been bought by me. Later, I will use the word 'escape' as an order to cut off your rope. When the time comes, you can just rush off the stage and run home! "

"Remember, no matter what happens in the middle, don't look back, let alone stop! Do you understand?"

The mysterious voice came again.

"understand!"

An indescribable enthusiasm and hope grew in Li Guanqi's heart.

He looked around the execution ground, the wide-eyed onlookers, looking for a gap to escape.

The nerves are stretched like strings, just waiting for that order.

At this moment, the huge execution ground was dead silent.

Countless people stared fixedly at the executioner who drank wine and sacrificed the knife!

At the moment when the executioner held up the ghost knife, several women timidly stretched out their hands to cover the children's eyes.

"puff!"

The knife pierced into the flesh, and the tongue burst into thunder!
"escape--"

Hearing the sound, Li Guanqi jumped out suddenly, the expert cut off the rope on his body as expected.

He ran away excitedly.

Facing them are countless women, children and foolish people, holding thick steamed buns, scrambling to be the first.

Instead of being angry, he was happy, and the surging crowd gave way to escape.

He got into the crowd, spread his legs, and ran wildly, the thrill of escaping death made his heart beat like a drum, and his skin tightened!
"what--"

A scream suddenly came from the high platform behind the execution ground.

I saw County Magistrate Qin clutching his neck, yelling with horror all over his face.

"My head!! Where's my head?!!"

The colleagues around looked at the county magistrate Qin, who was still in high spirits just a moment ago, but suddenly went mad at this moment, with astonishment on their faces. They were all in a hurry, dumbfounded, and at a loss for what to do.

"Pfft!"

In a panic, County Magistrate Qin rolled down from the high platform.

But he didn't notice it, closed his eyes tightly, and groped for something on the execution ground, yelling in panic.

"My head...my head...my head..."

Of course!

He touched it.

He touched a bloody head.

He hugged it ecstatically and placed it on his neck.

Unexpectedly, there was a foreign object on his neck, blocking him from placing his head.

Immediately, he became exasperated, hugged the foreign object with both hands, pulled it out violently, and tore it off.

The world is quiet.

There is only a string of crisp bells coming from the edge of the sky, faintly visible, seemingly absent.

"Jingle Bell……"
