"The Ming Dynasty was established in the first year of Hongwu, that is, 1368 AD, until the fall of the Qing Dynasty in 1911. During this total of 545 years, the Ming Dynasty killed officials and ministers outside the Zichen Hall in Nanjing, the capital of the capital at the beginning, and in the capital behind
Corrupt officials were punished on the spot outside the Yongle Palace in Beijing, and the Qing Dynasty beheaded treasonous officials outside the Meridian Gate. They all used this ghost-headed sword!" Yang Chushe said proudly.
Yang Wufeng took over his son's words: "The Ghost Head Sword is also the first sword that our Qin Huaiyang family has become famous all over the world. When the Ming Dynasty was first established, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the ancestors of the Yang family to forge a decapitation knife. It not only required it to be extremely sharp, but also to behead people.
It is really a difficult task to decapitate someone with a knife, and to suppress the decapitated evil spirit with invincible evil energy once and for all!"
Chen Guan didn't know much about this. In previous dynasties, prisoners sentenced to death would bribe the executioner before they died, asking the executioner to be more clean and decapitated with one knife. This would reduce the pain of the prisoner being beheaded.
An executioner who is ignorant of his conscience and deliberately asks for more money will cut off his head and keep half of the prisoner's head, and then chops the prisoner a second time to make the prisoner's pain worse. Such an executioner will be ridiculed and despised by everyone in the world!
The executioner's job is also very valuable. Firstly, it requires the executioner's wrist to be strong. Secondly, it requires the executioner to have experience. Which direction is the easiest to cut the head in two! Thirdly, it is because of the choice of execution knife, which is the ghost head knife.
The advantages!
And the most important point is that to become an executioner, you must have a lot of yang energy, otherwise you will be haunted by the ghost under the sword. Therefore, all executioners must be men between 25 and 40 years old. If you are under 25, you have insufficient yang energy!
After 40 years old, the sun sets! And women, because they are Yin, cannot become executioners at all!
The Qin Huaiyang family not only forged beheading ghost-headed knives, but many members of the family also chose to serve as supervisors and executioners for the government. As a result, they accumulated wealth that rivaled the country's for hundreds of years, and later opened countless arsenals for swords, spears, and halberds.
A big family and a big business!
Yang Wufeng continued: "The ancestors had no choice but to ask Mr. Qingtian for help. The two found a piece of meteorite iron on a desert island in the East China Sea. It can cut gold and jade like tofu. It has extremely yang attributes. Yang can overcome yin. Ancestor
He put it into the furnace to cast it himself. Mr. Qingtian spent seven consecutive days and seven nights worshiping Beidou next to the furnace where the sword was cast, and assisted in training with the sealing method of Taoist scriptures. On the day when the sword was made, it snowed heavily for three consecutive days in June, and the Yang family
An ancestor of a generation was exhausted mentally and physically. A mouthful of blood spurted on this knife and he died instantly! And Mr. Qingtian also lost all his black hair in seven nights!"
When he talked about these anecdotes, he couldn't help but look forward to it. He wished he had been born more than five hundred years ago and witnessed the casting of this ghost-headed sword with his own eyes!
"Beidou is for death, Nandou is for life! Most people in the world worship Nandou for immortality, but Mr. Qingtian worships Beidou, and it turns out that he is forging swords!" Chen Guan nodded: "If you want to avoid being haunted by evil spirits, you must be stronger than the strongest.
The murderous intent of the unjust ghost is even greater! No wonder this ghost-headed sword is so murderous! Mr. Qingtian has been a master of uncanny plans throughout his life, and his achievements are as high as those of the Ming Dynasty. It is said that he is proficient in the secrets of heaven and earth. He is the most suitable expert to assist the master in casting the ghost-headed sword.
Got it!"
Chen Guan knew that Mr. Qingtian was Liu Bowen, and even Zhu Yuanzhang was very afraid of him. Chen Guan saw such a legend recorded in an ancient book collected by Mr. Li in the secret room: It was said that Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and Chen Youliang were fighting against each other at Duyang Lake.
After a stalemate, Mr. Liu Bowen from Qingtian discovered Wollongong among the mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River. The Wollongong mountain circled like a crouching dragon, and a Tai Chi halo appeared on the forehead of the dragon. The two large lakes in it were like yin and yang fish swimming.
Very vivid!
"My lord, Chen Youliang's ancestors have done good deeds for nine generations. The grave of the ancestor is a big cave with two phoenixes facing the sun, and an emperor will definitely come out! The ancestral tomb of the lord's family cannot compete!" The book records that Liu Bowen suggested to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Only the elders of the lord's family who have close relatives can be buried.
In this Tai Chi Wollongong, only the Lord’s imperial energy can suppress Chen Youliang!”
Zhu Yuanzhang was very embarrassed. There was no dead wood in his family to bury, and his grandparents and father had died early! For this reason, Zhu Yuanzhang was frowning all day long. That day, his blind widowed mother heard her son sighing and thought that the war ahead was lost, so she
Secretly asked Liu Bowen, Liu Bowen quickly said: "There is no imperial aura on the ancestral grave of the master's family! It cannot suppress the Shuangfeng Chaoyang acupoint of Chen Youliang's ancestor! Now there is a large imperial acupoint in Wollongong called Tai Chi Wollongong that covers Chen Youliang's ancestor. It is a pity that the Zhu family has no
Close relatives and ancestors can be buried in Kushu."
Zhu Yuanzhang's blind mother heard this and understood what Liu Bowen was implying. She was afraid that her son Zhu Yuanzhang asked Liu Bowen to hint at this idea! So she asked Liu Bowen to take Zhu Yuanzhang to Tai Chi Wollongong, saying that the Zhu family would be buried at Yin Shi the next day.
A direct ancestor.
Zhu Yuanzhang was very strange and doubtful, but he still dug the main hole according to his mother's instructions.
At the time of Yin, his blind mother asked her daughter-in-law, Queen Ma, to support her. The old lady dressed neatly and groped her way to the tomb, stood upright and passed away without noticing.
Chen Guan remembered this anecdote and knew that the result was that Zhu Yuanzhang's mother was buried without a coffin pivot, so the Zhu family's dragon spirit quickly aroused, and it was completed within a month! Soon after, Zhu Yuanzhang was completely defeated in the battle of Duyang Lake
Killing Chen Youliang laid the foundation of the emperor and became the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty!
Therefore, in Chen Guan's heart, he still admires Mr. Qingtian: "No wonder, Mr. Qingtian forged this sword to help Zhu Yuanzhang and your Yang family resist the evil spirits! If I am not mistaken, the feng shui of this villa was also chosen by Mr. Qingtian."
Right!"
Yang Wufeng's eyes lit up: "That's right! Chen Zhenren is really powerful. You can see it at a glance. He said that he blamed himself for the death of his ancestor, so he helped our Yang family find this Feng Shui, saying that it can protect the Yang family for several generations.
Preserved during the replacement! Hey, it is no longer verifiable whether Mr. Qingtian was ordered by Emperor Hongwu to hint the old lady to voluntarily enter the cave alive, but Emperor Hongwu knew that after the founding of his country, he would kill many, many officials.
His subordinates! He was also afraid that the brothers who had followed him in the past would turn into evil soldiers and haunt him after their death, so he ordered Mr. Qingtian to forge this sword! As soon as the sword was released, Mr. Qingtian's vitality was severely damaged. He could have lived up to 100 years old.
Years old, only a few years later, he passed away early!"
Yang Wufeng continued to talk about the ghost-headed sword. The ghost-headed sword in the back was just as Zhu Yuanzhang expected. After killing many people, there were no ghosts chasing him. He died at the end of his life!
He originally wanted to kill Liu Bowen, but he didn't want Liu Bowen to die of illness. Instead, Zhu Yuanzhang deliberately showed great favor to his old relationship and buried Liu Bowen in a grand manner.
After Zhu Yuanzhang died, he naturally carefully ordered the Yang family to bring the Ghost Head Sword to assist the new emperor.
Later, Zhu Yuanzhang's fourth son, King Yan Zhu Di, succeeded in usurping the throne from his nephew Emperor Jianwen, and moved the capital from Nanjing to Beijing. His wife, the eldest daughter of the founding marshal Xu Da, heard about the magical properties of the Ghost Head Sword from Xizuo in the capital.
He quickly told Zhu Di, who had been living in the north for a long time, about the origin of the knife and did not know about it. Zhu Di quickly ordered the head of the Qin Huaiyang family to send a member of the family to carry the knife and move to Beijing.
It is difficult to disobey the emperor's order, not to mention that the Yang family was loyal to the Ming Dynasty. Both Zhu Di and Emperor Jianwen were of Zhu Yuanzhang's blood.
For hundreds of years in the Ming Dynasty, this ghost-headed sword was used by the Ming emperor to kill people outside the Yongle Palace. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, when the Qing troops entered the pass, the regent Dorgon sent someone to take over the sword, and Yang continued to use it to kill people.
An heir of the family used a sword to behead court officials who disobeyed the emperor's orders outside the Meridian Gate. The Yang family was forced to agree, even if their lives were in danger. The Yang family and the Ghost Head Sword are still incomparable glory.
This kind of scenery lasted until 1911. After the fall of the Manchu Dynasty, more than a dozen members of the Yang family in Beijing quickly moved back to Nanjing. This ghost-headed sword, which the revolutionaries did not pay attention to at all, also quietly disappeared with the Qing Dynasty.
The gold, silver and jewelry were brought back to Qin Huaiyang's home in Nanjing.
"Chen Zhenren, this is the hundreds of years of experience of the Ghost Head Sword!" After Yang Wufeng said this to Chen Guan, he said helplessly: "When this sword was first cast, Mr. Qingtian used the remaining meteorite iron behind the villa to
Leaving this knife-inserting stand, he is sure that one day the sword will be returned to Zhao intact, and it will still have a fate with Nanjing City for more than ten years. He said that once the Ghost Head Sword is reset and inserted into the gap of the knife stand, there will be Liu Bowen's formation on the meteorite.
With the seal of Dharma and spiritual energy, the Yang family doesn’t have to worry about anyone’s ulterior motives for this sword!”
As for the mystery, Chen Guan didn't quite understand why the Ghost Head Sword was not afraid of being taken away by others. He only heard Yang Wufeng continue to say: "However, although my family members secretly sealed this sword on the feng shui eye blade, they also deliberately
A wooden temple was built to cover it, but it still couldn't stop the murderous intent of the Ghost Head Sword from leaking out! The second year after the Ghost Head Sword was inserted into the knife platform, a Japanese man with a long beard came and the Ghost Head Sword automatically
Trembling, he calls himself Iga Qingtian, the master of the Iga ninja sect. He wants to take away this sword, and we naturally cannot allow it. Who knew that he would seal all the thirty people in our villa in half a quarter of an hour?
, and then he entered the wooden hall alone. I was extremely worried, but I didn’t know that a quarter of an hour later he laughed and walked out without taking the knife away!"
"I was just eighteen years old at the time. Iga Qingtian's spiritual energy seal automatically unsealed after passing through me for half an hour. I quickly followed my father into the wooden hall to check. The ghost-headed sword was still there, but there was an extra one on the sword platform.
The cracked gap!" Yang Sheath pointed at the knife stand and said.
Chen Guan hurriedly looked over and saw that in addition to this gap on the knife platform, there was another gap. He couldn't help but ask: "Then where did the other shallower gap come from?"
"This gap is where the Earth Master Qin Henyu came to ask for a sword. The Maoshan Taoist sect is spread all over the land of Jiangnan. I didn't dare to offend him, so I could only bring him in to try. On that day, the Earth Master hadn't arrived yet, and the blade had already started to move automatically.
He trembled and made a sound. Earth Master Yun used his spiritual energy to resist the murderous intent on the knife. When he walked forcefully to more than one meter away from the blade, the gap opened again in the blade!" Yang Wufeng laughed and said: "From this, I
Only then did I realize that when Mr. Qingtian and his ancestors forged this sword, the sword already had spirituality and could automatically recognize its owner. When an ordinary person approaches this sword, there are three possible outcomes!"
"Automatically recognize the master? What are the three possibilities?" Chen Guan was horrified when he heard this, and thought it was simply unbelievable. However, the Ghost Head Sword has the most murderous intent in the world. Even Yihe Qingtian and Earth Master Qin Henyu coveted it, and he also
I was moved and quickly listened to Yang Wufeng's instructions.
