The first time was at noon, when the Yang energy was the most abundant. Therefore, it was not easy for those who had died to become evil spirits. Therefore, those who were executed at this time were usually those who had committed the most heinous crimes and were vicious by nature. When the sun shone on them, their evil spirits would immediately disappear and they would not be able to cause any more trouble.
The second time was at five in the morning, when the sun was about to rise, the Yang energy had not yet risen and the Yin energy had not yet dissipated. Most of the criminals who were executed at this time were officials and nobles. After their death, it was easy for their souls to go on the road to hell and not be destroyed by the sun.
Rong Yan and Gu Xijiu were executed at five in the morning. When the executioner chopped them with his machete, the blood did not flow on the ground but stained the prison uniform that they were wearing.
...
The families of the executed criminals would not hold a funeral. After they brought the corpses home, they buried them in a thin coffin.
Such people could not be buried in the ancestral grave. Gu Xietian did not want to see his daughter's tragic death. After he ordered his men to bring the corpses home, he did not even look at them before he ordered his men to bury them next to Leng Xiangyu's grave on the same hill.
The mother and daughter had always been mean. Therefore, although Gu Xietian had also sent a gravekeeper here, the gravekeeper did not do his best and left as soon as the sky turned dark.
The gravekeeper stayed at the pub at the foot of the hill and drank for four hours. He only returned when it was almost midnight.
He walked around in front of the grave and vaguely felt that there were some changes to Gu Tianqing's grave. There were traces of new soil being dug.
However, he did not care about it and turned around to return to his own house.
After Rong Yan's death, he was not buried in the royal cemetery. Instead, he was buried in a place beside a mountain and a river. He even sent someone to guard the grave.
The guard's Kung Fu was good and he was a junior commander. He was sent to guard the grave because he was angry.
At night, when there was no one around, he kicked Rong Yan's grave a few times. He hated Rong Yan for being a hindrance to the future of others.
When he was kicking the grave to vent his anger, he felt a breeze behind him. He suddenly felt dizzy and fell to the ground.
He didn't even know how long he slept. When he woke up, the crescent moon was already high in the sky. He jumped up and looked around, but he didn't find anything wrong. He didn't even know how he fell asleep.
He subconsciously looked at Rong Yan's grave. The grave seemed a little different, as if it had been dug up and then filled up again.
He was shocked and could not help but dig up the grave. When he opened the coffin, he was speechless. Rong Yan's body was gone! There was only one set of clothes in the coffin!
Losing a corpse while tending to a grave was a serious crime. One might even be beheaded.
This person naturally did not dare to make any noise. Thinking that no one would know, he quietly filled up the grave again, making it as neat as before. He busied himself for half the night and only went to rest when he felt that there were no more flaws.
Besides the two Tomb Keepers, no one else knew about this.
…
There was a simple stone house in the mountains.
The furnishings in the house were not simple, and were even a little strange.
The surrounding walls were painted with some strange patterns that looked like talismans and curses.
At this moment, there were two beds in the house. There were two people lying on each bed, a man and a woman. Both of them were wearing blood-stained prison uniforms. It was Rong Yan and Gu Tianqing!
Beside them, there was a masked man who was busy. He was wearing a black headgear and a large cloak. With such attire, not only could one not see his face clearly, one could not even tell if he was a man or a woman.
