Chapter 10 Gather the merits! (please collect)
  "The auspicious time has come, kill!!"

On the execution ground, as a beheading token fell, the brilliant sword light suddenly lit up.

Blood splattered and the prisoner's headless body suddenly fell to the ground.

But after killing this prisoner, it is not over.

Qin Zheng took a step to the side and came behind a new prisoner.

Swish! !

The sword fell again, and the head rolled.

In the face of the upcoming crisis and the reward of beheading his head, Qin Zheng was able to ignore such a terrifying scene.

At this moment, the five prisoners were arranged in order, but Qin Zheng was the only executioner.

So when the time was up, he had to chop off the heads one by one with the knife in order, from left to right.

After cutting off the last prisoner's head, Qin Zheng held the ghost head knife tightly with both hands, shook the blade lightly, and shook off the blood beads on it.

The wide ghost-headed sword looked even colder and colder against the background of the blood droplets attached to it.

"Okay! We will take care of the rest. You go to the manager to sign and get the money."

At this time, several soldiers came up and began to clean up the corpses on the ground. One of them looked at Qin Zheng's ghost-headed sword and said.

Qin Zheng nodded, and immediately wiped the blade with a rag, then wrapped it in a coarse cloth and slung it on his back.

After completing this step, he walked towards a building outside the execution ground.

"Brother Qin, a new executioner is being recruited, and you will have to work harder during this period."

At this time, the soldier who had spoken just now spoke to Qin Zheng again.

The scene where Qin Zheng used a ghost-headed sword to confront Shi Dian with two moves was witnessed by these soldiers.

Therefore, they all thought that Qin Zheng must be good at martial arts, so they respected Qin Zheng a lot.

When Qin Zheng heard this, he stood down, turned his head and nodded towards the other party.

Then he continued walking towards the outside of the execution ground.

He is not the only executioner at the execution ground of Black Wild Goose City.

Before Shi Yan was chopped down, there were originally five executioners, but these five executioners, except Qin Zheng who traveled through time, survived.

The other four also died inexplicably before Shi Yan was executed for various reasons.

This is the information Qin Zheng only learned when he came today, so he was asked to chop off the heads of five prisoners alone.

Thinking of this, Qin Zheng felt mixed emotions for a while.

Shi Dian should have reached an agreement with Ji Changyin. As long as there is no executioner on the execution day, the execution can be postponed, leaving room for maneuver.

But neither of them expected that although their predecessor was dead, he would travel back in time and affect their agreement.

Ji Changyin, as a captain sent by the imperial court, could secretly make an agreement with Shi Dian to turn a blind eye.

But when it comes to the execution ground, it is impossible to continue to fulfill the agreement when no conditions are lacking.

He could only throw down the beheading token and cut off Shi Yan's head.

This also led to what happened next.

But Qin Zheng couldn't figure out two of the points.

Since the Jin Chan Gang has a big business in Black Wild Goose City, they can still reach an agreement with the garrison captain.

Why was Shi Yan arrested?
  Who ordered the beheading?

Also, on the execution ground, will the execution really be suspended because there is no executioner?
  There are so many soldiers. At this time, wouldn't it be the same if someone can just go up with a long sword in hand?
  Could it be said that there are any rules in this that are greater than the rule of execution on time?
  Qin Zheng thought of these complicated thoughts in his mind.

After a moment, he shook his head and cleared away these thoughts.

These things are not the most important to him at the moment, and there is no need to spend time on them.

Thinking of this, he focused his attention and looked at the merit scroll in his heart.

【Qin Zheng】

[Lifespan: 70 (17)]

[Martial Arts: Ghost Head Sword Technique (Perfection), Golden Cicada Escapes (Introduction)]

[Merit: one to two six cents] [The current martial arts, Golden Cicada Escapes, can be improved. It requires five cents of merit. Do you want to upgrade it? 】

Looking at the content above, Qin Zheng's eyes lit up and his mood immediately became excited.

One or two six cents, apart from the one cent that I originally had left, the rest was all obtained today.

It is equivalent to a criminal providing himself with three coins of merit.

Although it is quite different from Shiyan, Qin Zheng is still satisfied.
  Unexpectedly, just one day later, I had accumulated enough merit to refine the Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu!

As long as you refine this martial art, your own safety will be greater guaranteed!

Qin Zheng's heart became warmer as he imagined the changes brought about by the Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu.

Just refining martial arts will cause changes in your body. You are currently in the execution ground and cannot refine it immediately.

So I could only suppress my inner excitement for the time being and wait to refine it after returning home.

Next, he has to collect his wages first, otherwise he will be completely naked and eating will become a problem.

The execution ground of Black Wild Goose City is located on the south side of the city, and military camps are naturally stationed around the execution ground.

The job of executioner is not filled by soldiers in the military camp, but by brave ordinary people.

It costs twenty coins to cut off a head. If there are many prisoners, you can get a lot of money in one day.

Therefore, near the execution ground, there will be people who have made their living as executioners for generations, passing it down from generation to generation.

This is the case for the family of Qin Zheng.

He chopped off five heads today, including the one from Shiyan that had not yet been settled, for a total of six heads.

In other words, today I can receive one hundred and twenty Wen, which is almost one penny.

Not long after, we arrived at a place similar to a counting room in the military camp.

Qin Zheng reported his name, and the person over there handed him a bag without much verification.

The bag made a crisp squeaking sound when it moved, obviously there were a lot of coins inside.

Qin Zheng didn't count them in detail, and left quickly after thanking him.

The person who handed him the money was a middle-aged man with a gray beard.

Looking at Qin Zheng's leaving figure, he shook his head and murmured to himself: "A miserable man, a short-lived ghost!"

However, Qin Zheng did not hear these.

Or even if you heard it, you would laugh it off.

There is money in the arms, and enough merits are accumulated on the merit scroll for improvement.

At this moment, he only felt that his heart was filled with a feeling of satisfaction and joy.

Just refine the Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu!

My next journey will be smooth!
  When he was about to leave, he suddenly saw an old monk outside the execution ground.

However, this old monk was thin and dressed in ragged clothes. He looked more like a beggar than a monk.

He was seen clasping his hands together, facing the direction of the execution place, and reciting sutras with compassion.

"Namo Amitabha is shaking at night"

Qin Zheng listened carefully and found that he didn't understand.

But it seems that it should be a scripture about purifying sins and saving the souls of the dead.

Qin Zheng didn't stay too long, turned around and walked outside.

It takes half an hour to walk from the military camp outside the south of the city to his accommodation in the east of the city.

However, in order to refine the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Kung as quickly as possible, Qin Zheng secretly used Qing Kung.

Suddenly, the speed increased greatly.

Not long after, he returned to the east of the city.

But when he came to his mud house, his ears moved and he seemed to hear a subtle breathing sound.

The source of the sound comes from inside the house!
