Chapter 358 Taboos in the line of executioners
When the pangolin saw Cao Yusen and the fat man plunged into the blood pool, his smug laughed: "It's so stupid! Even if you plunge into it, do you think you can stop it? Do you know what's inside? If you go in, you will die earlier and faster!"
Although the Pawngoglobe is proud, the little white pig is doing the preparations. It wants to use the altar to complete its layout!
Zhang Qiuchi naturally knew it. He looked at the pangolin and asked, "What do you think is inside? Can't Cao Yusen and the others stop the things inside? I think they can definitely stop it!"
The pangolin couldn't help laughing: "Silly! You're so stupid! That's because you don't know how terrible the things inside are! If you knew, you wouldn't have said that!"
The pangolin looked at Zhang Qiuchi and others with pleasure and showed a look of horror. He said with great satisfaction: "Because the things inside are ghost-headed swords used by executioners to execute the execution, and there is also a ashes porcelain, but unlike the European ashes porcelain, which is bone porcelain, which is burned with cow ashes, it is burned with black dog ashes! Because the function is to ward off evil spirits!"
In order to delay time, Zhang Qiuchi and others naturally looked like good students and listened to the pangolin's teachings.
The pangolin believed that he was sure to win, so he would certainly give him advice when facing the children's teaching students: "Every executioner is extremely superstitious because they are also afraid of death! So when the executioner left after the execution, there is an unwritten rule that must be strictly followed, that is, he must walk quickly and cannot turn back no matter what happens. Because when you turn around, the dead souls you beheaded will entangle you, and will even seek revenge on you!"
Zhang Qiuchi nodded because he had also heard of this unwritten rule by the executioner. If you want to be superstitious, the executioner is also superstitious. After all, he is engaged in murderous activities. How can you not be superstitious?
The theory of cause and effect has taken root and sprouted in the hearts of Chinese people since Buddhism entered.
Pangolin continued: "Although the prisoners and executioners will worship Gao Yao, who is Gao Yao? He is the blood ancestor of the surname Li and the first person with the surname Li. Li Lizhen in the Shang Dynasty was still after Gao Yao. Li Lizhen was called the ancestor of the surname Li. Gao Yao was the ancestor of the law, and prisoners and executioners, and criminal officials will worship Gao Yao. Because they thought that Gao Yao would protect them, even if they killed people, they enforced the law for the country. It is not good to kill people after all. Even if they enforce the law for the country, they would still be afraid of retribution! There are many taboos!"
"So the executioner's knife cannot be sharpened. I would rather have a ghost-headed big knife than use it. I can't sharpen the knife no matter what. The reason is very simple, because once I sharpen the knife, I will think that you want to kill someone on the initiative. Subjectively, you just want to kill someone, and the dead souls can come to you for revenge. So I would rather be too dull and kill a few more times before killing someone!"
"So in ancient times, the family of prisoners bribed the executioner and asked them to change the quick knife, which means they don't use a dull knife and prevent the prisoners from suffering too much! Some film and television dramas are also performed in this way. The executioner said to the prisoners, don't worry, I will use a quick knife, and you will get rid of it with one knife! You won't suffer! As for some unqualified TV dramas, they all have quick knifes, and they all cut off their heads with one knife, that's wrong!"
"Unless it is a royal relative, etc., it is necessary to retain a decent way of death and do not want to make him suffer. How can ordinary prisoners be so easy to enjoy the pleasure of a one-sword? Don't look at how cruel I said, but this is true in history!"
"For example, some modern Europeans were screaming in surprise when they watched the Qing Dynasty beheading. Why didn't they even cut off the heads of a good knife? Can't they change to a good knife? From the notes of the Europeans, they can see that the head was cut off half and was even on the neck. The bones on the neck were broken. The executioner had to use brute force to make up for a few more knifes before cutting off the heads."
"In this case, the tortured person is suffering! His neck was smashed by a blunt knife. Think about how terrifying the situation is. The reason is that the executioner cannot sharpen the knife, for fear of being entangled with the soul! The prisoner wants to die less painfully, okay! If you take the money, I will change the quick knife, and the prisoner can die happily! Otherwise, I'm sorry, I have no obligation to pay attention to the prisoner's feelings - whether it's painful to die!"
This is true! The executioner has the iron rule that he cannot turn back after the execution, and there is also the saying that the beheaded knife does not sharpen the knife. Every executioner is extremely strong, but he is afraid that the knife is too dull and has to use force to break a person's head. As for how painful the person is, he can only be sorry!
When Zhang Qiuchi heard this, he felt his scalp numb, but this was the truth! They also understood that the one that emitted the cold light would be the executioner's blunt knife?
The duller a knife is, it proves that the more people are killed, and the more the prisoners who are executed will suffer. What is another thing?
As the pangolin just said, it is different from the bone porcelain made of cow ashes in Europe. They are made of black dog ashes, and a lot of black dog blood is added to ward off evil spirits.
Yes! The pangolin said this: "Use the blood of the black dog and the ashes of the black dog, and of course the bone porcelain made of talismans, which are specially used to hold the skulls of prisoners or the flesh of prisoners. In ancient times, the first thing to do to kill Lingchi was to do was to get three first knives, thank God, thank God. Thank God, thank God, throw the meat to the sky, thank the earth to the ground, and thank the people to the middle. Generally speaking, the executioner would keep the meat jerky or a piece of bone, and keep as many portions as the prisoners killed!"
"Maybe the purpose of the executioner keeping the flesh or bones of the prisoner and putting it in the ashes is to ask for peace of mind. Although I killed you, it is a forced one. After all, I enforce the law for the country, and that is my duty. Look! I am avoiding you, and I respect you. I worship you every day! Don't come to me for revenge! Until the executioner dies, he will bury the ashes or throw them into the water to show that everything is safe. The dust returns to the dust, the soil returns to the soil, and everything disappears and no longer disappears!"
