Master National Teacher is motionless

Chapter 2 Beheading
He opened his eyes slowly.

It was dark in front of me, and I couldn't see anything clearly. There seemed to be a rotten and damp straw mat under my body, and I was sitting with my back against a rough wall. The uneven and hard stones made my back ache, and the cold and damp The air was filled with an unbearable stench.

There seemed to be walls on all sides, and a small low door was faintly visible on the wall on the left, and a small window on the door faintly revealed a glimmer of light, which was the only light source.

"Through time travel... No, it should be said that the memory of the previous life has awakened. In this life, the name is really Lin Lan..."

He murmured, but he didn't feel very surprised. After all, the moment he was struck to death by lightning in his previous life, he already knew in advance that he would time travel.

In the dark, Lin Lan gently rubbed his temples, frowning as he recalled the memories in his mind.

Although when he was electrocuted to death in his last life, he knew that he was going to time travel, but he thought he would die early, but he didn't expect that not only did he not die, but he was still alive until now, and he only awakened the memory of his previous life when he was 20 years old.

——This is exactly the same age as when he awakened his ability in his last life, maybe it's not a coincidence?

The awakening of the memory of the previous life is like adding a memory experience of more than 20 years out of thin air. Although there is no real separation of more than 20 years, it also makes his memory of this life a little blurred.

As if waking up from a dream, he became a prisoner who was about to be executed in Yanshan County, Guannan County, Mingzhou, Dayu.

"Ask to kill tomorrow?"

Lin Lan frowned, suppressing the instinctive emotions in his heart, and looked at the prison cell through the seemingly thin light, while recalling the reason for becoming a prisoner in his mind.

It turned out to be because of fortune telling...

There used to be a wandering Taoist priest in the ancestors of the Lin family. He was not only proficient in wind and water, but also knew how to read and tell fortunes. It is said that he was also somewhat involved with Taoist practitioners. Daoism, but after doing feng shui fortune-telling for local wealthy businessmen and officials, he is considered a little famous, so the Lin family established a foundation.

However, it has been passed down from generation to generation, but the descendants of the Lin family can't learn the old ancestor's qi-watching technique, and it is difficult to use the feng shui technique.

At any rate, the old ancestor still has some real skills, but [-]% of the descendants of the Lin family are fake.

Two years ago, Lin Lan's father passed away.

And Lin Lan hasn't learned much, and he's only seventeen or eighteen years old, and he hasn't reached the crown yet. Even with a beard, he doesn't look like a fairy-tale fortune-teller. He just thinks it's funny, so what? convincing?
So, after looking through the ancient travel notes left by his ancestors, he made a bold decision——

A disciple pretending to be a practitioner.

In today's world, practitioners have a very high status. Even Dayu, who respects the 'Renzong', dare not neglect the Taoist and Buddhist sects. There are Daolu and Senglu divisions in various places.

If one has entered the Taoist or Sangha, then he is a real practitioner, no matter how low he is, he is still an official of the same eighth rank.

Once you become a practitioner, it is easy to make money.

Therefore, after Lin Lan's careful planning, he used some strange gadgets and methods left by his ancestors, and used the excuse of "the master has a destiny, and the disciples should enter the world and practice until they reach the crown, and then enter the Taoist register" as an excuse, which really convinced many people. up.

If someone believes in it, they will naturally make money.

In the past two years, Lin Lan has also made a lot of money. He originally thought that he would stop after he was crowned, and go away directly, so that he could use the money to start a small business in the future.

But... I often walk by the river, how can I not get my shoes wet.

Just two months ago, he ran into a down-and-out Taoist at a fortune-telling booth. He had disheveled hair and didn't wear a Taoist scarf.

But the Taoist stared at him for a while, and said that he was physically weak. He argued that the rules of the teacher's school did not allow the cultivation of mana, so the Taoist asked him to call the elders of the teacher to come out. Naturally, he could only explain that he could not disturb Senior teacher.

What he didn't expect was that the Taoist immediately showed his real magic, attracted officers and soldiers, and sent him to the government on the spot.

According to the laws of Dayu, if there is no Taoist scriptures in person, if you dare to pretend to be a Taoist practitioner, defraud property, and tarnish the reputation of Taoist scriptures, you will be punished with fifty sticks or beheaded.

Lin Lan's crimes are neither light nor serious. Although he is using the name of a practitioner, he has not really pretended to be a practitioner. He has long said that he has not yet become a Taoist, and he used the excuse of entering the world to sharpen his life. Even if it is really exposed, it cannot be a capital offense.

But Zhang Hai, Zhang Zhongren, the county magistrate of Yanshan County, is a greedy person. He has long seen that Lin Lan has made a lot of money in the past two years. doing what.

But now that he has the opportunity, how can he let go of this piece of fat delivered to his mouth?

That Zhang Zhongren was charged with a lot of crimes in the county government, and Lin Lan was accused of heinous crimes one after another, and he was sentenced to be executed on the spot, and the down-and-out Taoist seemed to be moved by Zhang Zhongren, and he also nodded and agreed to execute Lin Lan , and thought that this son had ruined the reputation of Taoism, and asked not to make a fuss, just ask to be executed in the county government.

Since this matter involves a master Taoist practitioner, as long as the practitioner testifies in person, there is no need to repeat the case, as long as the local state shepherd handles it according to the law.

Therefore, even the rule of three plays and then decision was thrown aside. According to the regulations, after reporting to the state shepherd of Mingzhou, he only pretended to review it, and then handed it over to the sheriff of Guannan County, and he could be executed after autumn.

At this time, it happened to be the cold autumn, and it was the time to kill.

Lin Lan has been in prison for more than two months, and today is the last day.

Tomorrow at [-]:[-] noon, I will ask to be killed.

"I just awakened the memory of my previous life, so I'm going to be decapitated?"

In the dark, Lin Lan slowly closed his eyes, but he didn't feel too much fear in his heart.

Maybe it's because he just died once, maybe it's because the situation of life and death in his previous life can't be changed, which makes him a little disheartened, or because his relatives are gone, he doesn't have much attachment to this world...

In short, he was calmer than he imagined.

Trapped in this dungeon, I can't escape even if I want to, and there is no way to get justice and plead guilty.

In this ancient world of dynasties, the common people were always humble, and sometimes they were not even regarded as human beings. There was no way to survive against the officials and lords, let alone the practitioners with higher status.

But now that the official and the Taoist experts want him to die, what else can he do?

I do not know how long it has been.

Suddenly, there was a sound of chains colliding outside the prison door, and then footsteps were heard, and the door of the cell was opened.

Lin Lan sat motionless in the cell, but opened her eyes to look. Originally, there was only a faint light from the small window, but now that the door opened, it became much brighter.

The person who came was wearing a blue short jacket and black trousers, and was carrying a bamboo lunch box in his hand. It turned out to be a prison guard.

"Boy, you will be on your way in one hour."

The jailer squatted on the ground, put down the food box, and took out the wine, meat, and food that had long since lost heat, "It's the last meal, let's eat it."

Lin Lan leaned lazily against the corner of the wall, squinting at the jailer.

But his mind was suddenly in a trance, and a small memory emerged.

In some illusory scenes, the jailer fell to the ground in embarrassment, looked in this direction with a look of horror on his face, and retreated backwards, but a long fine steel knife was spinning in the air and flying towards He cut off his head with a icy arc, the body was separated, and blood gushed out.

Immediately, the screen shattered.

"Ok?"

Lin Lan was startled for a moment, but then realized that this was the activation of the ability of 'foreseeing the end'.

He didn't expect that even if he was reincarnated, this ability would still be there?

In the 20 years before the memory was awakened, this ability had disappeared. Unexpectedly, until today, when the butcher's knife was hanging by the neck, the memory of the past life was awakened, and this ability appeared again.

Or... I was able to awaken the memory of my previous life because of this ability?

It doesn't make any sense to think about it now... Lin Lan restrained his thoughts for the time being, and turned to look at the jailer.

Judging from the outcome he foresees, the jailer may die soon.

Moreover, judging from the screen, the place where the jailer died seemed to be in the county yamen prison, and he had witnessed it with his own eyes. The direction the jailer looked in horror before dying seemed to be his direction as well.

After all, the foreseen ending is also his own future memory, which must be what he has seen and heard.

But... who dares to kill people in this county government office?

Could it be that I killed the jailer?It's impossible... Lin Lan didn't quite understand.

He is very clear about how much he weighs, he has never practiced martial arts to strengthen his body, and he is half-starved and half-fed in prison. He has been hungry and weak for two months. With his arm strength, if he throws a long knife, let alone chop it If a person's head is lost, whether it can be thrown so far is a question.

"What are you looking at, kid?" The jailer knocked the bowl in his hand on the ground, and a lot of rice grains in the bowl were shaken out.

Lin Lan didn't answer, didn't speak, and didn't even bother to remind the other party.

The ending is doomed to be unchangeable, and it doesn't make sense to remind her.

What's more... the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, the jailer seems to have followed the greed of County Magistrate Zhang.

If a prisoner asks his family to send money, the jailer will deliver the meal on time.

A widowed person like Lin Lan has already been ransacked by officials, and no one can send money to this prison. The jailer has nothing to gain. In the past two months, if he can send food once a day, it is considered a conscience.

And it's just a spoonful of gruel and brown rice that's not much better than clear water. If you're lucky, you might even see a rotten vegetable leaf.

"Poor ghost... eat." The jailer set the big bowl, sneered and left with the food box.

Lin Lan glanced at it in the weak light. A small bowl contained wine, and a large bowl contained rice, covered with vegetables and a piece of undercooked stinky meat.

According to the laws and regulations of Dayu, the cut-off meal should be based on the standard of three pennies. Just this little meal, wine and meat, you can't even spend thirty cents.

You don't need to think about the other money, it's naturally been corrupted.

Lin Lan is not a feudal superstitious person, so he casually threw the stinky piece of meat aside, just took a few mouthfuls of rice and vegetables, and tasted the wine. Compared with the delicacy tasted in the previous life, the taste is naturally nothing to say , just to fill the stomach.

Another hour passed.

The door of the prison was opened again, and the jailer came in with two servants from the execution room. After confirming that he was behind him, he put Lin Lan in handcuffs and handcuffs, and was about to escort him to the court. After the sent errand is confirmed, you can ask to beheaded.

"what?"

The jailer suddenly felt that something was stepped on under his feet. He looked down at the ground, only to find that it was the half-baked piece of meat. He couldn't help but sneered and said, "When you get on the Naihe Bridge, don't regret it."

Lin Lan thought, this piece of meat should be prepared for you.

However, if he said this, he would inevitably be punched a few times, and he would not be as knowledgeable as a dead man.
