Longevity begins with refining blood essence

Chapter 3 The Executioner, the Living Hell
"As long as County Magistrate Wang likes it, I'll have someone send it over at noon."

"How embarrassing."

"No matter how good the bracelet is, it cannot compare to the friendship between us. County Magistrate Wang, please take a look at the position of my son as a jailer."

"A jailer? What jailer? The squad leader."

"Oh, hello, hello, hello. My grandmother has a red jade bracelet, which is a pair with the jade bracelet. I will send them to you at noon."

Not long after, a tall and thin old man in a satin gown came out with a happy face. Looking at his appearance, those who didn't know would think that he had married a concubine again.

“The world is corrupt.”

Fang Chen sighed and knocked on the door, and a lazy voice came from inside.

"Come in."

Fang Chen stepped in, and the fat and big-eared County Magistrate Wang immediately came into his sight. He was lying on the armchair, sipping tea leisurely.

"what's up?"

"I participated in the mission to eliminate the bandits in Hutou Mountain a few days ago. At that time, the county government said that as long as I participated in the bandit suppression, I could enter the government office after returning."

"Oh, so he was a militiaman who participated in the suppression of bandits. He was lucky enough to come back alive."

After a pause, he spoke again:

"You are late. There are not many positions left. The only ones left are jailer, night watchman and executioner. If you are not satisfied, you can take two coins and go home to farm."

Some of these three are the least lucrative jobs in the county government, while others are the most tiring jobs.

The jailers spend every day in a dark prison, living with prisoners, rats and cockroaches, and the smell is as bad as a toilet.

Night watchmen sleep during the day and stay up late at night, which reverses the yin and yang and shortens your lifespan.

The executioner has an even more unlucky fate. Not only is he likely to die young, he is also prone to breaking taboos, which accelerates the reduction of his life span, and it is even difficult for him to find a wife.

It is really used to fool those poor people who have no identity, no background, and no benefits.

If you are unwilling, taking the two cents of silver would be like walking through the gates of hell in vain.

However, Fang Chen found something good that suits him—executioner!

Although the executioner has a dangerous fate, he can obtain blood essence by killing criminals every day to improve his own skills. Moreover, he obtains blood essence in a reasonable and legal way. Doesn't this complement his golden finger?

So he spoke without hesitation:

"I want to choose the executioner."

"Oh?"

County Magistrate Wang raised his eyelids and glanced at Fang Chen.

"I didn't expect you to be so courageous. Most people wouldn't dare to take this job. Have you thought it through?"

"Think about it."

"Then it's up to you."

County Magistrate Wang picked up the brush on the desk, quickly wrote a few words, and pushed it next to the desk.

"Then go to the backyard. From today on, you are the executioner of the county government."

"Thank you, County Magistrate."

Fang Chen took the letter and walked straight to the backyard.

The humble executioner didn't even have an office room and could only work in the backyard on weekdays.

As soon as he stepped into the backyard, several strong men looked over at him.

Fang Chen bowed and said:
"I am Fang Chen, a junior. I will be the executioner of the county government in the future. I hope you seniors can give me more guidance."

"Hey, it turns out to be our executioner's newcomer."

"Boy, you are really brave. You look old and your hair is barely fully grown, yet you dare to be an executioner. Hehe. Have you ever killed a chicken?"

Everyone started talking and making fun of him, and a burly man in a black coat said something back.

"Go away, everyone, be quiet. What's the big deal about bullying a kid?" Everyone smiled and stopped fighting. The sturdy man looked at Fang Chen.

"Don't mind it, kid. They are just a bunch of rough people. They are heartless, but they are not bad people by nature."

Fang Chen nodded.

"My name is Chen Gang, and I'm the head here. If you have any questions in the future, feel free to ask me."

Fang Chen bowed again.

"Then I'll have to trouble you to give me more guidance in the future."

dong dong dong.
At this moment, there was a sound of bells and drums suddenly coming from the front yard. When the executioners who were chatting heard the sound, they immediately stopped talking and stood up with serious faces.

"Let's get started, let's get started!"

Following Chen Gang's shout, everyone quickly lined up, with Fang Chen following at the end.

Everyone took their knives one by one and walked towards Caishikou. On the way, Chen Gang said to Fang Chen:
"This is your first day here. You don't have to rush to work. You can watch from the sidelines, learn, and adapt."

Fang Chen shook his head.

"Thank you for your kindness, Boss Chen, but I have killed bandits before, and my hands are already stained with blood."

"Oh, I didn't realize you're quite capable. OK, then join us in the execution. I'll tell you the rules of our business.

First of all, the knife must be drawn quickly, and the head must fall to the ground in one stroke. The prisoners who were beheaded had committed many evil deeds and were extremely violent. If they could not be beheaded in one stroke and made to feel pain, their violent nature would inevitably be aroused, and they would definitely turn into evil spirits after death, harming the world.

Secondly, you must not make any sound. Remember this! Otherwise, they will remember your sound and haunt you every day after death, and you will not be able to get rid of it even if you want to.

As for this last point."

Having said this, Chen Gang did not continue speaking.

Fang Chen asked doubtfully:
"Boss Chen, what is this last point?"

"This can only be understood, not explained. You will realize it yourself in the future."

Fang Chen noticed that the others trembled noticeably when they heard these two sentences.

Although he didn't understand what the third point was, he vaguely felt that it was not a good thing.

In this way, everyone quickly arrived at Caishikou, which was already crowded with people who wanted to watch the excitement, and on the execution platform were two rows of blindfolded strong men kneeling.

Some of them were wearing rags, while others were wearing armor. It was obvious that they were bandits from some mountain.

"These damn bandits really deserve it."

"All the bandits deserve to be skinned alive. Beheading them is too easy for them."

The common people below were cursing loudly, and the bandits with their heads covered were not idle either, cursing as well.

"Why are you yelling? I'll be a brave man again in 18 years! When the time comes, I'll peel off your skin, pull out your tendons, eat your flesh, and sleep with your women, hahahaha."

Under the official pavilion, the county magistrate had a gloomy face and threw out a command arrow.

"It's three quarters past noon, kill!"

"puff--!"

The executioners sprayed a mouthful of wine towards the blade and chopped directly at the bandit's neck.

In an instant, six or seven heads rolled to the ground, attracting the vicious dogs in the audience to rush forward to grab them.

"it is good!"

Not only were the people not afraid, but they also burst into cheers.

Fang Chen remained silent, and while everyone was cleaning up the corpse, he plundered the essence and blood.

【Eighteen points of blood essence have been plundered.】

【Twenty-seven points of blood essence have been plundered.】
