The ancestors of the criminal slaves were originally Han people from Liaodong. Although the natural conditions were harsh, they were still tolerable. The fertile black soil allowed anything to grow.
However, the Di-Han War that lasted for decades destroyed everything. In the tug-of-war between the two military forces, some members of the Luo family either moved south or joined the later Guanning Army, and some were captured by the Di people and became slaves, including the parents of Xingnu and Xingnu, who was still young at the time.
Later, Xingnu's father followed the Dilu army in the southern expedition and won some merits, so his whole family was raised to join the Han army flag of the Eight Armies.
The criminal slave obtained a super-civilian status under the rule of the Di Lu, and when he grew up, he entered the Eight Prisons and became a jailer and executioner.
People in this era have no sense of family and country, and all they want is to survive.
Xingnu grew up under the rule of the Dilu people, so he naturally had no sense of identification with the Han people. In addition, his father later died in battle, so he only had hatred for the Dali people.
After entering the Eight Prisons, Xingnu showed great talent for interrogation and was appreciated by the prison chief Liu Ya. In addition, due to his repeated contributions, he was also taught the cultivation method.
In terms of martial arts, Xingnu also showed great talent. After several years of hard training, he developed internal strength, which made others envious.
What completely brought the criminal slaves to prominence was the interrogation of the "Guan Ning Death Soldiers".
The interrogation took place when the Liaodong War was in full swing. The Di Lu captured the Guanning messenger who was seriously injured and poisoned. He was carrying important intelligence that would affect the direction of the war.
The messenger had taken poison and was dying, so he could not be tortured. Moreover, he was determined to die and had not much time left. It would be extremely difficult to pry information from him.
Just when everyone was at a loss, Xingnu stepped forward, took the military order, and brought only a doctor. After seven days and seven nights of continuous interrogation, he finally got information from the messenger's dying mutterings and became famous in one battle.
No one knew what happened during those seven days and seven nights, or what means Xingnu used to make the messenger let down his guard.
Even Qin He, who was watching the shadow play, was confused by this.
In short, he succeeded.
Because of his great achievement, the chief of the Di Lu tribe issued an imperial edict to reward him, giving him the name of "criminal slave" and a piece of thousand-year-old ginseng as a reward.
With his body tempered by thousand-year-old mountain ginseng, Xingnu struck while the iron was hot and practiced hard for three years. His internal strength increased greatly and he became one of the few young masters of Di Lu, with internal strength of more than thirty years.
There is no false reputation under a great name. In the following ten years, Xingnu's strength and skills improved further, and he solidified his title as the number one executioner among the eight prisons of the Qing Dynasty.
Until he was ordered by Liu Yazi to go south to investigate the cause of Liu Cang's death.
The judgment was weighed, one end of the bronze scale raised high, and the black-robed man said: "Nothing in the world is satisfactory, and the gains and losses are like those of Sai Weng. Even the beautiful moon and the towering tower are still flawed, and the wind is always strong when the flowers fall. The young man with fine clothes and a vigorous horse is so beautiful, but it's a pity that he is gone in vain."
A new martial art appeared in Qin He's mind, the "Golden Body of Merit".
The Merit and Virtue Golden Body Technique: With merit and virtue added to your body, when the golden body is built, you will be on par with the gods.
Qin He was overjoyed. It was another set of skills.
Moreover, it is a different way from cultivating internal strength through eating immortal skills.
Without any hesitation, start learning right away. It is always good to have many skills.
After a moment, Qin He understood the mystery of this technique.
Eating immortal food cultivates the body, while cultivating the golden body of merit cultivates the spirit.
In this world, demons, ghosts, goblins, gods, Buddhas and Taoist spirits all have their own ways, and each path can be cultivated to become very powerful.
The golden body of merit belongs to the path taken by gods and Buddhas, but the methods of practice are different.
Buddha cultivates the mind, and the gods gather in the incense, and the concept of gods is quite broad.
The city gods, land gods, mountain gods, water spirits, heaven and hell are all gods. They gather together to worship incense and practice cultivation, and their practices are basically the same.
When the golden body of merit is cultivated, evil spirits cannot get close to you, and monsters will take a detour. It is even more powerful than eating immortal power.
Let’s not talk about the distant things, let’s just talk about this corpse-suppressing place.
With the blessings of virtue and auspiciousness all around him, not to mention the evil corpses, even a flying zombie lying in front of him would be unable to move. He is that powerful.
After learning, Qin He's mind displayed: Merit +0
As for how to obtain merit and how much merit is needed to build a golden body, the method does not specify, and Qin He has to figure it out on his own.
Putting the skills aside for the time being, Qin He continued to blow air, burning the last bit of combustible material in Xing Jiu's remains into ashes.
After finishing the work, they immediately stopped the furnace and extinguished the fire, shoveled the ashes into an iron bucket to cool, and brought water to cool the furnace to reduce the residual temperature of the cremated body.
After working for nearly an hour, when the rooster crowed, all traces were finally cleared.
With the sound of a gong, the doors of the crematorium opened one after another.
The originally silent footsteps of the on-duty officer reached Qin He's ears again. He didn't know what secret method the criminal slave used to isolate the sounds inside and outside the room, and the sound was not broken until the crowing of a rooster.
And the iron lock outside the door was actually locked.
There is no doubt that no one knew that the criminal slave entered and exited Room 7, which was a good thing for Qin He.
Qin He's caution was rewarded. Not long after the cremators handed over the ashes, the Feiyu Guards surrounded the crematorium with murderous intent. A high-ranking official in a red robe also came and asked if any strangers had entered last night.
All the officials and crematorium workers shook their heads. The Feiyuwei official asked for the cremation records, checked each room, and asked some questions one by one.
After working for half an hour without any results, the Feiyu Guards had to retreat. Before leaving, they posted a wanted poster of Xingnu at the entrance of the crematorium.
Qin He took a look and was surprised. The bones looked similar, but the skin and flesh were too ferocious, with a dark face, a beard and scars. It was indeed a tortured slave, but a tortured slave with a disguised appearance. Even if the real person stood right in front of him, he would not be able to identify him.
Qin He shook his head, took the fifteen copper coins for food rations and went out to buy steamed buns.
Although white flour buns are delicious, they cannot be eaten every meal. I don’t have any extra money in my pocket, so I can only eat mixed flour.
This tortured slave was also a maverick. There wasn't even a single copper coin in his package. He had to rely on climbing over walls and breaking into people's homes to find food all the way south from outside the Great Wall. It was a blessing if you didn't run into him. Running into him was like running into the King of Hell.
He deserves to be struck by lightning.
Walking out of the crematorium, the streets and alleys were covered with wanted posters of tortured slaves, causing a sensation in the city and a lot of discussion.
At one end of the street, it was said that Xingnu was a swordsman who liked to kill people. When it spread to the middle of the street, it became that Xingnu was a three-eyed swordsman who liked to eat raw human hearts and livers. At the end of the street, Xingnu became a monster with three heads and six arms who could not sleep without eating more than a dozen people a night.
No matter how chaotic the outside world is, the tortured slaves are destined to never have the chance to do evil again. When a person dies, it is like a light going out, and everything is over.
As for whether you will be treated like a slave or thrown into a frying pan in hell after death, it will be decided by the King of Hell.
For Qin He, this matter is over for the time being.
The reason why it is said to be temporary is because Qin He’s words unfortunately came true.
The executioner is also a craftsman.
This craftsman has a characteristic: people always want to feed him wherever he goes.
As for the saying that good and evil will be rewarded, that depends on the world we live in.
There is a saying that killing people and setting fires will earn you a golden belt, but repairing bridges and roads will leave no remains. However, this is a time of chaos and the path of righteousness has no light.
Of course, these are all things for later.
All you have to remember is that there was an executioner named Xingnu, who was sent to the King of Hell by Qin He with a fire.
