Li Xian had learned some real kung fu from Guo Nu. Executioners weren't easy to deal with. They had to practice a lot of skills in order to cleanly cut off a person's head with the heavy Ghost Head Blade in their hands. Eyesight, arm strength, waist strength, and
He had mental fortitude.
Just the four movements of drawing, raising, swinging, and retracting the saber were practiced countless times every day. At night, when they practiced cutting incense, they would casually cut a row of charcoal heads. This wrist strength, arm strength, eye strength
Strength and accuracy, even a first-rate Wanderer might not be able to do it.
Therefore, an outstanding executioner might not be a first-class expert in martial arts, and even a second-class expert could easily defeat him. However, when it came to the basic skills of using the knife, using the knife, and exerting strength, an outstanding executioner's attainments in the knife skills were very high.
He might even surpass many of the top experts in the martial world.
What Li Xian had learned from Guo Rentu was how to use a knife. Li Xian had 18 masters, none of whom were martial arts masters, but Li Xian had built a solid foundation of martial arts by taking advantage of their strengths. He had also figured out unique moves from ordinary and simple moves.
The true meaning of martial arts.
The process of a true martial arts expert going from simple to complex, and then from complex to simple, wasn't it a kind of returning to simplicity? Li Xian had hit the nail on the head, but he lacked the guidance of a famous teacher and experience. His closed-door training method made him far from the true skill.
There was still a layer of window paper that could not be pierced through.
The Guo family was not far from the Cloud Inn Casino. They walked out of Yangchang Alley, passed through two more alleys, and turned into a more deserted alley. After passing through the backyard doors of several wealthy families, they reached a door at the end. There were tall trees planted on both sides of the door.
There were a few old crow nests on the side. This was Guo Nu's home.
Pushing open the door, a bleak air greeted them. Old Guo had never married, had no children, and did not raise any living creatures at home. Naturally, he was lifeless. When they entered the house, the smell of sandalwood hit their faces. They were greeted by a wall and shelves.
They were Buddha statues of various shapes and materials.
There was an incense table and an incense burner in front of the Buddha wall. Guo Nu stepped forward and lit three incense sticks. He first bowed devoutly and inserted the incense into the incense burner before beckoning Li Xian to take a seat. Li Xian already knew his habits. Seeing him burn incense first, he subconsciously asked,"“
Did you kill someone again today?"
At that time, not all prisoners on death row were sent to the capital. Some places were too remote, so it was impossible to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to send prisoners. In that case, the files would only be sent to the capital and dealt with after receiving approval. In this way, some prisoners would be executed this autumn.
It was last year that the dossier was submitted to the capital. There was also another type of criminal who was executed immediately.
There was a kind of criminal who committed a heinous crime and had a bad influence. The death sentence was indisputable. In order to achieve the effect of punishment, it would not go through a long trial and judgment process. Instead, the local officials had the right to execute him immediately.
Business did not have to wait until autumn every year. Whether they opened or not depended on the level of security in the area.
Guo Nu obviously didn't want to talk about this matter. Although the executioner didn't blink when he killed, he was actually quite afraid of this. The Guo family had offered a wall of Buddha statues, apparently to dispel the shadow in his heart. Guo Nu grunted heavily and looked up at Li Xian.
"Will you go back next autumn?”
Through his conversation with the ship's boss, Liu Yuntao, Li Xian had a rough idea of the current atmosphere. The world was very concerned about faith. One's promise and one's promise were as heavy as Mount Tai. Of course, there were people who went back on their words, but that was not the case in the current world.
The behavior recognized by the world's values would be despised if it was said or done.
Thus, Li Xian learned his lesson and said righteously,""The emperor is benevolent and has extended my lifespan by a year. I should use this short lifespan to settle some unfulfilled regrets. In the autumn of next year, this disciple will return to the capital to receive his punishment!”
Guo Nu nodded and praised," A promise is more important than life and death. This is a real man. Good job!"”
Guo Nu pondered for a moment and sighed." With your death, the Li family will have no descendants. It's not only a great regret, but it's also a great unfilial act!"”
Li Xian was stunned. What did he mean by rushing to the capital to die next autumn? He was not as stupid as the ancients and had long planned to slip away. As for the unfulfilled regrets, it was just a casual way to brush Guo Nu off. However, before he "left", he said,
There was indeed one thing he wanted to do, and that was to make a small fortune and leave a fortune for his mother, Pan Jiaojiao. Why did he say that he had no descendants?
Guo Nu saw him in a daze and couldn't help but laugh."Is your face tender? There are three unfilial things. Your Li family is the only seedling in a thousand hectares of land. Taking advantage of this year's time, it's only right to leave an heir for the Li family.”
Li Xian slowly opened his mouth.”
Guo Nu's words reminded him of the time when he was on death row. He had indeed seen a woman enter the cell. The head of the cell would take the woman and a certain prisoner to a private cell. After a while, the woman would leave and the prisoner would return to the cell.
At that time, Li Xian thought that this was some kind of "big brother" who had eyes and hands all over the sky. Later, he learned that this was a manifestation of the benevolence of the imperial court since ancient times. If the prisoner is married but has no children, his wife is allowed to be imprisoned while awaiting death.
To mate with him so that he could retain his bloodline.
However, this kind of benevolence was built on the basis of completely ignoring the rights and interests of women. Was this woman willing? No one cared about her. Due to the clan and social ethos, perhaps on the surface, she was " willing ", but all the burdens were carried by her.
Come, take the responsibility. Who would have thought that this was fair to her?
At that time, it was very common for women to divorce or remarry after losing their spouse. To a large extent, this created an artificial obstacle for her to remarry. In order to let the man have a bloodline of benevolence, he paid the price of destroying the woman's life.
Endure.
Therefore, Li Xian, who had the ideas of later generations, was very disapproving of this at that time. Now that he heard Guo Nu say it, he was even more disapproving. Li Xian shook his head and was about to explain tactfully when Guo Nu muttered,""Yes, I have a distant cousin.
He had seen her before and was a suitable candidate.”
"I've seen it before?" Li Xian immediately searched his memories.
Guo Nu smiled." Yes, I used to live in your workshop. I was your playmate when I was young." Every time you see her, you always tease her by saying that she's daydreaming.'At first, that silly girl thought that you were teasing her and chased after you endlessly. Wait to hear
You explained that this was an idiom, and you were quite pleased with yourself. Later, when I truly understood what you meant, I chased after you endlessly, hehe…"
Li Xian's lips twitched, and he couldn't help but want to laugh.
Guo Nu sighed and said," That girl got a divorce last spring. The man was disappointing and ran away with a gambling debt. She was left to live alone with her son and daughter. Why don't you marry her and leave an heir for the Li family?"”
Li Xian was about to come down and hurriedly refused,""No, no, no, this is not appropriate. I'm a person who's about to die. Why should I burden others?”
Guo Nu didn't think much of it. He said," Two is just raising, three is just living. It's just a matter of one more mouth. What's there to be afraid of?" Besides, I'm the only one who can help her now. If she really marries into the Li family and has an heir, how can your mother not help?
”
Li Xian was embarrassed and waved his hands." No, no, no. Thank you for your kindness, Master. I won't let my imagination run wild anymore…"
Guo Nu interrupted him." It's settled then. I'll bring her over another day. You can take a look at her first." Haha, don't worry, she's no longer as skinny and shriveled as a little sparrow when she was young. Now, she was a lucky lady who was very good at giving birth. you want her
You've been married for three years and you've already given birth to two children. Are you still afraid that your Li family will have no descendants? Ha, haha…"
