Chapter 53 The Execution Platform

As the learning and handover process progressed, the doubts in the new Cheng An's mind grew bigger and bigger: "I wonder what the mission Sanqing Pavilion gave our juniors 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."

"Okay... If I had known this was the case, I would definitely not have dared to accept 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. So what, 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."

"Okay... wait, 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 become a great mage. He is really envious of us."

"Is that so... does seclusion take that long? What about the merit review when I go back?"

"Who can say for sure about seclusion... As for your achievements, junior brother, we will wait and see. It will not 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 allowing Xin Chengan to learn and memorize all the events of the past year,

He also needs to learn Zhao Ran's tone of voice, demeanor, movements, etc.

The Xin Cheng'an chosen by Senior Brother Dongfang is very different from Zhao Ran in terms of height, fat and thinness. After putting on 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

, you can change and imitate the intonation when speaking, and it will be lifelike. This saves a lot of effort.

The plan of the two is that this new 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 the opportunities for him to show up, so that the people around him will gradually adapt to the new Chengan, and finally

Complete the replacement plan. During the rest of the time, he will work as a servant in the Jinbo Club. The whole process lasts for one month.

After a month, Zhao Ran will be able to run away and return to the Ming Dynasty after a long absence!

The day after Xincheng'an arrived was the day when Duanmu Chunming's public execution was held. Xinchengan felt the same as Zhao Ran when he heard about it. He found it quite incredible. He really wanted to go to Nancheng execution platform to watch the execution, but after all, he didn't come here

The time was too short, so to be on the safe side, we could only stay in the clubhouse, while Zhao Ran went to the execution platform to watch.

Zhao Ran took the token given by Monk Xingzhen and rode a carriage to Nancheng. The execution platform was located at the end of Xuanwu Street in Nancheng. It was the place where the Imperial City Division dealt with serious criminals. At this time, it was 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, destroying Xuanwu Street and the surrounding areas.

The streets were so crowded that if it weren't for the Kaifeng Prefecture's Yamen officials and the Imperial City's Imperial Guard Army keeping it up, 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. To behead a Taoist monk, even if the monk planned to use him to "prove Taoism", it would be a bit sad for him. Besides, you don't need to think about it, he knows that near the execution platform

There must be a large number of eminent monks whose cultivation is far superior to his. If some bored monk were to use his supernatural power 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 his handlebars to turn around and go back home, he saw a group of fast horse cavalry squeezed out of the lane on the left. The leader was Gao Yanei, who served as the left guard general of the cavalry army in the Yiwei Forbidden Army. Gao Yanei saw

After seeing the familiar driver, he immediately greeted 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. It was only when he saw that thief's head fell to the ground that he got out of his bad breath. Today, brother, I am on duty, guarding the execution platform. You come with me." He led more than ten people first.

The Imperial Cavalry opened the way, walked through the alleys, passed many checkpoints, and finally arrived at the 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 and left with the sergeant.

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. You could easily see the execution platform in the center of the venue. The bartender brought the wine and meat, filled it up for Zhao Ran, and went back to his business.

Guest. Zhao Ran looked around and found no acquaintance. He breathed a sigh of relief, slowly drank wine, observed the execution ground, and waited for the arrival of noon.

Killing monks is definitely different from killing ordinary people. With Zhao Ran's sensitivity to the energy of heaven and earth, he immediately discovered it. Just around the small execution platform with a radius of several feet, there were two magic circles, one for killing.

, a main defense, and after careful observation for a moment, I found the location of the formation's eye - not on the execution platform, but under the execution viewing platform opposite.

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 the formation.

The advantage of this formation is that the enemy trapped in the formation cannot find the formation eye and it is difficult to break the formation. However, everything has advantages and disadvantages, and the weaknesses are equally obvious. If the formation eye is not within the formation, it is not in the formation.

Under the protection of the formation, enemies trapped in the formation can easily break through the formation as long as they have outside help.

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 his curiosity and wanted to see what extravagant figures there were 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.

The 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 private houses around the execution platform, and the total number is no less than several hundred. These people, like Zhao Ran, are among the invited, but they are "not allowed to be on the stage."

.

There are two groups of Yiwei Imperial Army infantry on the left and right sides 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.
