"Boss Peng, what is the origin of this ghost-headed knife? I'm not afraid of killing people. I'm just here to put it at home to ward off evil spirits..."

As soon as Peng Bin finished speaking, the fat man asked in a cooperative manner. His attitude was like a supporting actor in crosstalk, which led Peng Bin to talk about the topic in depth.

"Hehe, are you afraid of killing one person, are you afraid of killing ten people?" Peng Bin looked at the fat man and said with a playful look: "If you kill hundreds of people, will you be afraid of being a little fat man? Do you dare to ask for this knife?"

"Peng...Boss Peng, you... are you deliberately scaring me?"

When the fat man heard Peng Bin's words, he was really a little timid. When he looked at the ghost-headed sword held by Peng Bin, he felt a chill air coming out of the blade, as if he was entangled by the wronged soul of the person he killed.

"Fatty, you can't suppress this knife..." Fang Yi suddenly said, "This knife may not kill thousands of people, but there should be a hundred people killing. Brother, what is the origin of this knife?"

People often say that death is like a lamp extinguishing, but in Taoism, a person's mental power, or soul, will not dissipate so quickly after death.

Some people who die suddenly have too much resentment and can even influence the living people in the form of their souls, causing them to have many hallucinations. This is what the folk call catching ghosts, such as a strange disease that occurs on Lan Lian, is caused by the influence of the souls of others in their bodies.

When killing people, evil soldiers like the ghost-headed sword will be more or less infected with the mental power of the killed people. This mental power is called evil energy in Taoism or yin energy. When the yin energy in the human body is too strong, it will cause physical weakness or even death.

In Fang Yi's opinion, the evil spirit of this knife is extremely heavy, but it is not difficult to suppress it. Fang Yi has several methods in his hands. One is that people like Peng Bin who kill countless people, and those who die in his hands are far more than the heads cut off by the ghost-headed knife.

Because Peng Bin himself is a fierce person, the evil aura contained in the ghost-headed sword naturally does not affect Peng Bin. If Peng Bin used this knife against the enemy, it would be like a tiger. A timid person would probably be scared by the evil aura emitted by Peng Bin and the blade before he could fight.

The second method is to ask Taoist monks to open the altar for this knife and use scriptures to eliminate the evil spirits in the knife. However, Taoist monks usually use dead souls to open the altar, but few people can use evil weapons to save them.

As for the third method, it is to practice Taoist techniques like Fang Yi. With Fang Yi's current cultivation, let alone the evil aura generated by the ghost head sword, even if he stays in the extreme Yin land for a period of time, Fang Yi will be unharmed.

However, for the fat man, none of these three methods is suitable for him, so if the fat man really takes this knife, it will be harmful to his body. If he comes into contact with this evil weapon for a long time, the fat man will definitely have something to do.

"Boss Peng, what does this knife mean?" When he heard Fang Yi's words, the fat man was also worried. He could think of other people's words as wind in his ears, but the fat man had always believed in what he said from Fang Yi.

"This is the sword used by a ancestor of my Peng family..."

Peng Bin thought for a while and said, "At that time, in order to make this knife, the Peng family of that lineage almost demolished the house and sold land, smashed all their belongings in it, and then made this ghost-headed knife. If the money that was then converted into current currency, it would probably be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars..."

"Boss Peng, what did your ancestor do? Why did he spend so much money to hit this knife?"

The fat man asked in confusion. He is now doing business and selling cultural relics to pay money from other people's pockets, but the elder among Mr. Peng spent so much money on a handful of dead objects, which is really difficult for the fat man to understand.

"Of course, you have to use the best one..." Peng Bin laughed when he heard this. The ancestor of the Peng family was still a very legendary figure in the Peng family. The reason why the Peng family came to Myanmar was also related to that elder.

"What are you eating? I understand, Boss Peng, it turns out that your elder is doing a business of robbing the house?" Hearing Peng Bin's words, the fat man suddenly started yelling, carrying such a ghost-headed knife to rob. In the fat man's mind, it was definitely a very majestic thing.

"Where we go, there have never been bandits in our Peng family..." Peng Bin glared at the fat man with anger.

"Fatty, don't talk nonsense if you don't know. This knife should be a decapitated knife, right?"

Fang Yi said as he looked at Peng Bin. The back of the ghost head knife was wide, heavy, and the blade was extremely sharp. The most suitable one was to chop the head. The sword used by the 29th Army's big sword team during the Anti-Japanese War could actually be considered a ghost head knife.

Fang Yi once saw a 29th Army big sword in the Jinling Museum, but the weight of the knife was only about four or five kilograms, which was far from this sword. If he had no effort on his body, he would not be able to pick up the ghost-headed sword with one hand.

"Brother, you have a good look. You are right. This is a broken knife!"

Hearing Fang Yi's words, Peng Bin raised his thumbs up at him and said, "Our Peng family has an ancestor who once worked as a prosecutor in the capital. This knife was used by him back then. The person who died under his knife has a name you must have heard of..."

The Peng family is a martial arts family in Sichuan Province. Its heritage can be traced back to the Han Dynasty. It has many family children and many branches all over the country. One branch has been in the capital since the early Qing Dynasty, but it has always lived at the bottom of society.

Due to life, the Peng family in this branch worked as an executioner during the Kangxi period, and the father and son passed on to the end of the Qing Dynasty.

You should know that most people cannot be an executioner. Although the neck is thin, because there are cervical vertebrae, it cannot be cut off at once without any effort. Some prisoners, Kong Wu is powerful or possesses unique skills, and it is not so easy to cut off his head.

The Qing Dynasty's "Xiaoting Miscellaneous Records" once recorded an incident, which was about Alima, a military general in the early Qing Dynasty. When he was in the capital, he was rampant and committed many evil deeds. Emperor Shunzhi wanted to get rid of him, so he sent a military officer Batuluzhan, who was second only to him, to arrest him and behead him and beheaded by Caishikou.

When the prison cart walked to Xuanwu Gate, Alima said, "If you die, just die, but I am a Manchu. I can't let the Han people see me being tortured. Just kill me in this city gate!" While speaking, Alima hooked the hole in the city gate with her foot, and the prison cart couldn't go forward.

Batuluzhan agreed to his request and ordered the execution of the city gate, but no one expected that when the torture was used, Alima's neck was like cast iron, and the big knife could not be cut at all. It was replaced by two executioners who could not see Alima's head.

In the end, Alima told Batuluzhan that he would first cut off his neck with a knife and loosen the tight tendons of his neck, and then chop it up. Batuluzhan asked the executioner to do as he did, and then chopped off Alima's head.

Therefore, not everyone can handle the executioner's job. In addition to being ruthless and capable of killing people, it is also very professional. The Peng family has been practicing martial arts for generations and is famous for its swordsmanship. Therefore, it is really easy to do the executioner's life.

ps: The first update, I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival. Well, if you can take the time to drop a monthly ticket to the fat man, it would be perfect, hahaha! (~^~)
