One is at noon, when the yang energy is at its strongest, and even those who die fiercely will not easily turn into evil spirits and become resentful spirits. Therefore, those who are executed at this time are usually those who have committed the most heinous crimes and are vicious. The evil spirit at the time of death disappeared immediately when the sun shone on it, and there was no more strangeness.
The second is Mao hour, when the sky is about to break, the yang energy has not yet risen, and the yin energy has not dissipated. Most of the prisoners executed at this time are high-ranking officials. After their death, their souls are easy to embark on the road to hell, and will not be harmed by the violent sunshine. The sun shines to the point of death.
Rong Yan and Gu Xijiu were executed at Mao hour. When the executioner slashed with the ghost-headed knife, the blood that splattered did not flow to the ground, but all fell on the prison uniforms they were wearing...
…
Naturally, the family members of the executed prisoners would not hold a grand funeral. After taking the body home, they buried it in a thin coffin.
This kind of person cannot be buried in the ancestral grave. Gu Xietian did not want to see the tragic situation of his daughter's death. After ordering someone to take the body back, he ordered it to be buried without even looking at it, right next to Leng Xiangyu's grave. They were all buried on a hill.
The two women were always mean, so although Gu Xietian also sent a tombkeeper here, the tombkeeper was not dedicated enough and left as soon as it got dark.
The tombkeeper drank for two full hours at the tavern down the mountain and didn't go back until nearly midnight.
He walked around in front of the grave and vaguely felt that Gu Tianqing's grave seemed to have changed somewhat, with traces of new soil being turned.
But he didn't take it to heart and turned around and went back to his cabin.
After Rong Yan died, he was not buried in the royal cemetery. Instead, he was buried in a place near mountains and rivers, and special people were assigned to guard him.
This guard was good at martial arts, but he was an unsuccessful little commander. He was also resentful when he was sent to visit the grave.
At night when no one was around, he kicked Rong Yan's tombstone several times, hating him for delaying other people's futures even after he died.
Just as he was kicking to relieve himself, a breeze blew behind him, and he suddenly felt dizzy and fell to the ground.
Even he himself didn't know how long he slept. When he woke up again, it was already the crescent moon rising in the sky. He jumped up and looked around, but he didn't find anything wrong. He didn't even know who he was. How to sleep.
He subconsciously looked at Rong Yan's grave. The grave seemed a little different, as if it had been opened and filled up.
He was so shocked that he couldn't help but dig up the grave and opened the coffin lid to take a look. He was immediately speechless. Rong Yan's body was gone! There was only one set of clothes in the coffin!
It is a serious sin to see a dead body in a grave, and you may be beheaded.
Naturally, the man did not dare to say anything, thinking that no one would know, so he quietly filled the grave again, as neatly as before. He worked for half the night, and then went to rest when he felt that there was no more flaws.
No one knew all this except the two gravekeepers.
…
There is a simple stone house in the mountains.
The furnishings in the house are not simple, and even a little strange.
There are some weird patterns painted on the surrounding walls, which look like talismans and curses.
There were two beds in the room at the moment. Lying on the beds were two people, a man and a woman, both wearing blood-stained prison uniforms. They were Rong Yan and Gu Tianqing!
Beside them, a masked man was busy. This man wore a black hood and a large cloak. Not only was his face unclear in this attire, but he couldn't even tell the difference between male and female.
Talismans were flying on the man's fingertips, hitting Rong Yan and Gu Tianqing from time to time.
