Before people even reach the vegetable market, they can already hear the bustling voices of people. The vegetable market is densely packed with people.
If Zhang Mingtu was a local resident, he would have arrived so late and would not have had the chance to go in and see the place, and would not have been able to get through at all.
Although it was clearly a beheading, these people were quite excited. They gathered together, many of them with a strange curiosity on their faces, while the majority were more numb.
The official unified beheading in the vegetable market is often meant to be a warning to others, so that they will learn from the law and not break the law.
However, in Zhang Mingtu's opinion, this method and approach is both bloody and brutal, and has not had much effect.
Those who actually kill the most people are mostly spectators sitting in the stands.
For them, no matter how many bloody and cruel scenes appear before their eyes, it is meaningless.
For ordinary people, when they are so hungry that they can't even afford to eat, they still have a layer of courage in their hearts and will try their best.
In the face of brutality and cruelty, nothing matters in the face of survival.
Zhang Mingtu had already realized this in his mind.
However, the many people gathered today might not just be there to watch the fun, but some of them were genuinely gritting their teeth as they watched the people from the Wang and Li families being tied up on the stage.
Especially when it came to the corresponding servants and housekeepers, many people gritted their teeth.
Many people looked confused and did not recognize the patriarchs of the Wang and Li families who were at the center of the execution ground.
Zhang Mingtu did not find it strange. Before, he did not know the team leader of Wang and Li's family. He only knew the housekeeper and servants who were accomplices of the evil.
What stewards and servants do often are quite excessive and tyrannical, and most civilians only see their servants and stewards.
Many people never even get to see the real young masters and clan leaders of these noble families, even though they are the source of all evil.
Zhang Mingtu was also powerless to do anything about such incidents.
At most, he is promoting fairness and justice in secret.
The burly executioner took a sip of liquor and sprayed it on the ghost-head knife, muttering to himself.
"Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor, go back!"
At noon, when the sun was at its hottest, Rui Hai, who was at the top, pulled out a wooden stick with an expressionless face, threw it down, and shouted loudly: "Behead!"
The executioner had no expression on his face. He raised his sword high and swung it down.
The scarlet blood gushed out high, but not a drop flew towards the executioner. They controlled the knife very well when they cut it. Two people held the prisoner from behind and cut forward, slashing the prisoner from the neck.
The carotid artery in the neck was severed and blood spurted forward like a high-pressure water gun.
Some of the onlookers who were close enough were even stained with blood.
Zhang Mingtu sat on the stage, watching indifferently without speaking.
The audience at the front was stunned, as if they were frightened, while the crowd at the back was still clamoring to move forward, wanting to see the exciting part, and the entire vegetable market was in a frenzy.
Rui Hai did not say a word on the high platform. His subordinates loudly proclaimed the crimes committed by the person to be beheaded, and then they chopped off the head with a knife. The whole process was smooth and orderly.
Some people leaning towards the front tore up the steamed buns, and the blood was all over the ground at the front of the execution ground.
According to folk customs, most of the criminals who were beheaded were ferocious and had terrible evil spirits in their bodies, so they were beheaded at noon when the sun was the most poisonous.
If their blood could be consumed, it could cure many diseases.
After all, the villains are strong and can often kill many police officers.
Zhang Mingtu scorned this feudal superstition.
The reason for choosing to behead someone is when the sun is at its hottest. One reason is that the Yang energy between heaven and earth is at its strongest, and the official authority is at its strongest. By suppressing both the official and literary auras at the same time, the birth of evil spirits can be prevented.
The so-called human blood steamed bun can't cure any disease at all.
However, Zhang Mingtu had no intention of correcting it. No matter how many times he promoted it officially, it would be useless. What could really change the lives of ordinary people was adequate diet and enough doctors.
If you want to enlighten the people, you must first ensure that they have enough food to eat and warm clothes to wear. Only in this way will people have extra energy to study.
Ruihai also watched calmly without saying much.
The real change is not in words, but in actions. He has changed everything here with concrete actions.
By the time three quarters past noon, the official figures had left one after another.
Zhang Mingtu did not hesitate and also walked very fast.
Another large number of people from the Wang and Li families died, especially the housekeepers and servants who had harmed the most people. Many of the obsessions hidden in his body were shattered.
The vigorous vital energy was running rampant in his body. If he didn't have to maintain his official dignity, he would have wanted to sit cross-legged and practice on the spot.
Now that things were almost settled, he almost turned into a phantom and disappeared from the Ximen Vegetable Market in a few breaths.
Soon after making sure that no one was following him, he led him into a house he had bought.
Sitting cross-legged in the house, the vigorous vital energy rushed into his body crazily, and was compressed and gathered step by step by Tiangang Guiyuan, causing his bones, tendons, and muscles to transform bit by bit.
The bones became more and more lustrous and shiny, just like beautiful jade.
The blood becomes thicker, and the bones and muscles tremble, and the strength becomes more and more abundant.
With each breath, a white gas over a foot long is exhaled, like a white silk thread, and the exhaled gas can hurt people.
The vigorous life essence circulated in the 365 acupoints throughout the body. When the essence reached its peak, Zhang Mingtu felt the 365 major acupoints trembling at the same time.
At the same time, a strong essence spurts out, and the essence gathers into a beam, rushing from the Yongquan acupoint to the top of the head.
During this period, scan all the bones and meridians in the whole body.
Starting from the vertebrae of the dragon, the bones crackled like frying beans.
His body size did not become more exaggerated. Instead, moving forward compressed his bones, tendons, and muscles like springs.
The drastic change lasted for a full half hour. When the change was completed, Zhang Mingtu was more than an inch shorter.
The body was no longer as strong as before to cause strong oppression, but instead looked slimmer.
After the vigorous blood and energy flowed through his body, Zhang Mingtu lightly snapped his fingers, and the hard marble floor cracked into pieces. Zhang Mingtu did not use much strength from beginning to end.
His body has become smaller, and his muscles are no longer as big as before, but his strength has more than doubled.
"Is this the fourth level of marrow cleansing and blood transfusion?"
Zhang Mingtu clenched his fist lightly, and the air seemed to explode with his squeezing sound.
He felt a vigorous and powerful force flowing in his body.
The true qi has not yet transformed into true essence. He has reached the true essence level in the physical training realm, but has not yet reached the level of qi training.
However, during this person's drastic changes, the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Sutra and the Tai Shang Three Lives Scripture for Resolving Grievances also reached the peak of the true qi realm.
After a period of polishing, it can truly evolve into true essence.
