With the deepening of the learning and handover process, the doubts in the new adult's mind are getting bigger and bigger: "I wonder what the mission Sanqing Pavilion gave to the junior brother last year?"
Zhao Ran was a little embarrassed and said: "You just asked me to build a business store Well, it did make a little noise"
"It's not just that it's a little bigger nothing else?"
"Gone."
"Wellif I had known this was the case, I would definitely not have dared to take it. I really can't handle it, junior brother. Let's think of another way and see what we can do."
Zhao Ran felt ashamed and said, "I'm sorry, senior brother. What about that? What is the mission that senior brother Dongfang gave you?"
"Take over the business store and keep it for one year until the next Cheng'an arrives. Senior Brother Dongfang wants to calm down next year, after all, he is not here."
"Okaywait a minute, what does 'he's not here' mean? Where is he going?"
"Oh, I forgot to tell my junior brother that Senior Brother Dongfang has gone into seclusion. He has to entrust his soul to his soul. After he comes out of seclusion this time, he will be a great mage. He is really envious of us."
"Is that soDoes the retreat take that long? What about the merit review and rewards when I go back?"
"Who can say for sure about seclusion As for your achievements, junior brother, let's wait and see. It won't be less than half a year or a year. In short, everyone should calm down first."
The handover cannot be completed smoothly in one night, and it will take a period of time to transition. At Xin Chengan's strong request, the transition time for the handover was extended to one month. In addition to letting Xin Chengan learn and memorize all the events of the past year, he also had to learn Zhao Ran's tone, demeanor, and movements. wait.
The new Cheng'an chosen by Senior Brother Dongfang is very different from Zhao Ran in terms of height, fat and thinness. After wearing the magic weapon mask, if he doesn't speak, he is almost the same. The key is that this senior brother is good at a mysterious skill of Sanqing Pavilion. When speaking, he can change and imitate the intonation, which is really lifelike. This saves a lot of effort.
The plan of the two is that this Xin Chengan will appear for a while every day, starting from unimportant time periods, and gradually come into the sight of outsiders, and then slowly increase his chances of showing up, so that the people around him will gradually adapt to Xin Chengan, and finally Complete alternative plans. The rest of the time, he worked as a servant in the Jinbo Club, and the whole process lasted for a month.
After a month, Zhao Ran can run away and return to the Ming Dynasty after a long absence!
The day after Xin Chengan arrived was the day when Duanmu Chunming was publicly executed. Xin Chengan felt the same as Zhao Ran when he heard about it and found it quite incredible. He really wanted to go to Nancheng's execution platform to watch the execution, but after all, the time he came was too short. To be on the safe side, he could only stay in the club and let Zhao Ran go to the execution platform to watch.
Zhao Ran took the token given by Monk Xingzhen and rode a carriage to Nancheng. The execution platform is located at the end of Xuanwu Street in Nancheng. It is where the Imperial City Division deals with serious criminals. At this time, it is under martial law for the Yiwei Division.
Zhao Ran walked south along Xuanwu Street for three miles and couldn't walk. He heard that a Taoist cultivator was going to be publicly beheaded at noon today. The people of the entire Xingqing Mansion were rushing here, and Xuanwu Street and the surrounding areas were destroyed. The streets were so crowded that if it weren't for the Kaifeng Prefecture's Yamen officials and the Imperial City's Guardsmen trying their best to keep things going, and if it weren't for the rows of sword-wielding Imperial Guards standing on both sides, there would have been a stampede.
Zhao Ran didn¡¯t really want to watch the execution of a Taoist monk. Even if the monk planned to use him to ¡°prove Taoism¡±, he would feel a bit sad. Furthermore, you don¡¯t need to think about it to know that there must be a large number of eminent monks near the execution platform who are far superior to him in cultivation. If some bored monk uses his supernatural powers to detect him, wouldn¡¯t it cause trouble again?
Seeing how crowded it was, he backed down. It wasn¡¯t that I didn¡¯t want to go, but that there was a traffic jam and I couldn¡¯t get in!
Just as he was about to tell the handlebar to turn around and go home, he saw a group of fast horse cavalry squeezed out of the alley on the left. The leader was Gao Yanei, who served as the left guard general of the cavalry army in the Yiwei Forbidden Army. When Gao Yanei saw the familiar driver, he immediately came up to him and said with a smile, "Brother Cheng is here too?"
Zhao Ran nodded: "Tianlongyuan asked me to come over to watch the punishment, but I couldn't squeeze in. It was really uncomfortable. I was planning to return. I don't want to watch the punishment this time."
Gao Yanei said: "Of course Brother Cheng is going. Seeing the thief's head fall to the ground made him feel better. Today, brother, I am on duty, guarding the execution platform. You come with me." He led more than ten people first. The Imperial Guards opened the way, walked through the alleys, passed many checkpoints, and finally arrived at their destination.
An officer from the Imperial City Department checked the token in Zhao Ran's hand and took him directly to a wine shop diagonally across from the execution platform. Gao Yanei also patrolled to suppress him, so he took the sergeant away.
Zhao Ran went up to the second floor of the wine shop. A table had been specially reserved for him. It was right next to the window. He could easily see the execution platform in the middle of the venue.The bartender brought the wine and meat, filled it up for Zhao Ran, and then went to work on other guests. Zhao Ran looked around and found no acquaintance. He breathed a sigh of relief and slowly drank wine while observing the execution ground and waiting for the arrival of noon.
Killing monks is definitely different from killing ordinary people. With Zhao Ran's keenness in the energy of heaven and earth, he immediately discovered it. Just around the small execution platform with a radius of several feet, there are two magic formations, one for killing and one for defense. After careful observation for a moment, I found the center of the formation - not on the execution platform, but on the opposite side. Under the execution viewing platform.
This was the first time he saw a formation with an eye outside the magic circle, and his eyes suddenly lit up, and he thought that this was a good idea for setting up the formation.
The advantage of this formation is that the enemy trapped in the formation cannot find the formation's eyes and it is difficult to break the formation. But everything has advantages and disadvantages, and the weaknesses are equally obvious. If the formation eye is not within the magic circle, it is not protected by the magic circle. The enemy trapped in the formation can easily break through the formation as long as there is help from outside.
Soon, Zhao Ran noticed a larger magic circle. Through speculation on the flow of Qi, Zhao Ran knew that this outer magic circle was actually a barrier formation that isolated the fluctuations of magic power. The practice world generally used this to protect people. Keep people and buildings around to prevent the fight from spreading.
After studying the formation with great interest for a while, Zhao Ran couldn't help but wanted to see the extravagant figures in the execution platform directly opposite the execution platform.
But looking at it from his angle, he could only see some side and back scenes: for example, there were about dozens of people sitting on the execution platform, including monks wearing cassocks, nobles and dignitaries wearing brocade and satin, and wearing helmets. Generals carrying armor and so on. If you want to see more clearly, you have to stick your head out of the window. That would be too obvious and too abrupt. By then Zhao Ran will see clearly, and everyone else will also see Zhao Ran.
In addition, there are many people watching the execution in the wine shops, shops and houses around the execution platform, the total number is no less than several hundred. Like Zhao Ran, these people are among the invited, but they are "not on the stage".
There are two groups of Yiwei Forbidden Army infantry on the left and right of the execution platform. Gao Yanei belongs to the Ma Army group. He should be on patrol at the periphery at the moment and is not among them.
