The capital is under the feet of the Son of Heaven and is heavily guarded.
Ever since getting off the highway, checkpoints for inspecting vehicles can be seen at intervals.
The jeep was hanging a military license plate and there was also a pass from the Underworld King Hall on it, so it passed smoothly all the way.
At 10 pm.
The jeep arrived at Xuanwu Gate.
Ye Qiu was in the capital for the first time and couldn’t help being a little curious. Looking forward, Xuanwu Gate was as high as more than 30 meters, thick and solemn.
Tang Fei had been in the capital all year round and was very familiar with the buildings and history of the capital. He introduced to Ye Qiu and said, “Xuanwu Gate was one of the nine gates of the inner city of the capital in the Ming and Qing dynasties. It was built in the Ming Dynasty. At the beginning, it was called Shuncheng Gate and was changed to Xuanwu Gate in the fourth year of Zhengtong.”
“In the past, Xuanwumen was the place where the prisoner transport vehicle passed. Because the execution ground was located at Caishikou outside Xuanwumen. After the prisoner was verified and confirmed by the Ministry of Punishment, he would go out from Xuanwumen and be beheaded at Caishikou.”
“Do you see the three characters engraved on the top of the gate opening of Xuanwumen？”
Ye Qiu looked up and carefully looked, and indeed there were three characters.
Regret too late！
“What do those three characters mean？” Ye Qiu asked.
Tang Fei smiled and said, “Didn’t I just say that the prisoner goes out from here and is beheaded at Caishikou. Think about it, when it’s time to be beheaded, it’s too late to regret.”
Ye Qiu heard this and thought it really made sense.
While talking, Tang Fei slowed down the speed of the car and pointed to some merchants or pharmacies on both sides of the street not far away and said, “This is Caishikou. There are countless wronged souls who died here in ancient times.”
“The most famous ones are Wen Tianxiang and Tan Sitong.”
“At the end of the Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, Wen Tianxiang, a famous prime minister, was killed at Caishikou after being imprisoned for four years because he refused to submit to the Yuan Dynasty.”
“Wen Tianxiang said to the execution official on the execution ground： ‘What I could do for the Song Dynasty, I have finally finished doing it now’, and then died heroically.”
“During the Guangxu period, Tan Sitong, one of the Six Gentlemen of the Wuxu, also shouted the heroic last words of “I have the heart to kill the traitors, but I have no strength to turn the situation around. I die a worthy death. How happy!” here, adding a murderous atmosphere to this place…”
”Wait a minute！” Ye Qiu suddenly spoke up, interrupting Tang Fei’s words.
Tang Fei stepped on the brakes and asked, “What’s wrong？”
”Is the enemy coming？” Long Ye was a little nervous, tightly holding the gun and asking.
”Look who that is？” Ye Qiu pointed to the side of the road.
Tang Fei and Long Ye turned their heads and saw that beside the city gate, an old Taoist in a Taoist robe, holding a whisk and wearing big sunglasses, was holding the hand of a young girl and saying something.
The young girl was in her early twenties, dressed very purely, and seemed naive at first glance.
Tang Fei’s eyes widened： “Reverend Changmei？”
”Lao Tang, didn’t you say that Reverend Changmei is still in seclusion？ Why is he here？” Long Ye had a surprised expression on his face.
”This old thing is finally reliable once.” Ye Qiu laughed. He knew that Reverend Changmei must have come to help him.
”Let’s go and take a look.”
Tang Fei parked the car steadily, and then the three people walked towards the city gate.
As soon as they approached, they saw Reverend Changmei say to the young girl： “Benefactor, just now the poor Taoist carefully observed your facial features and palmistry and have calculated your fate. What do you want to calculate？”
The young girl was a little shy and said： “Master, please help me calculate when I can find a boyfriend？”
Reverend Changmei pretended to be a master, flicked his long sleeves, and looked like a fairy, with a straight face and said： “You are doomed to have no man in the first half of your life.”
The little girl became anxious. “What about the second half of my life？”
”In the second half of your life, you’ll get used to it.”
The little girl’s face turned pale in an instant.
She was a senior in college. Originally, she didn’t believe in fortune-telling at all. But recently, she was about to graduate and still hadn’t found a boyfriend. So, her roommate told her that she might as well find a master to do the calculation.
That’s why the little girl came out to have her fortune told.
She went to several places and found that most of those fortune-tellers were pretending to be blind to deceive people. Only the master in front of her, wearing a Taoist robe, holding a whisk, and with every gesture, exuding an air of immortality, looked like a hermit from the outside world.
Never be able to find a man in a lifetime？
When the little girl heard this sentence, she was so scared that she almost cried.
The long-browed True Man let out a long sigh and said, “Benefactor, your fate is called the celestial lone star.” Not only will your life be full of hardships, but also you will never be able to find a man in your lifetime and will die alone.”
The little girl couldn’t help it and tears fell. She asked anxiously, “Master, do you have a way to break the fate of the lone star?
”I am a hermit from the outside world. Of course, I have a way.”
”What way？”
The Long-browed True Man pointed at the little girl and said, “If you give birth to a son for me, the fate of the lone star will be broken.
Dirty old man！
The little girl finally realized that the guy in front of her who looked like a hermit from the outside world was not only a liar but also a shameless person. She was so angry that she turned around and left.
The Long-Browed True Man stood up and shouted loudly： “Hey, benefactor, why don’t you pay after having your fortune told？ Even if you have no money, you can pay with your body…”
Bang！
Ye Qiu threw a pebble and hit the Long-Browed True Man on the head.
”Who？ Who hit me？ I’ll kill you.” The Long-Browed True Man turned around. When he saw Ye Qiu, he said with a depressed expression： “Even though the mountains and rivers are always full of affection, can’t you not hit me？”
Damn, this old guy started writing poems again.
Ye Qiu couldn’t stand the Long-Browed True Man writing poems the most and asked： “Why are you here？”
”Don’t you know why I’m here？” The Long-Browed True Man said angrily： “For you, I traveled all the way from Longhu Mountain to the capital. When we met, you didn’t even say a word of thanks and you threw a stone at me. Do you have any conscience at all？”
Ye Qiu smiled and said： “Even if I have no conscience, I won’t lie to little girls. Unlike some people, who, as people outside the mundane world, actually don’t follow the rules and have only one thing on their minds, which is to sleep with women.”
“But it’s normal to want to sleep with women. After all, you are a man. But making up some bullshit about the fate of being. what does that mean? Do you want a freebie?
”If you want a freebie, just say it directly. Why beat around the bush？”
”You don’t feel ashamed, but I do.”
The Long-Browed True Man was so angry that he jumped up and pointed at Ye Qiu and cursed： “Ye, what do you mean？”
”You actually humiliated me. Do you believe that I’ll kill you？”
“Let me tell you, I have successfully cultivated the Five Thunder Dharma, and I can kill you with one move.”
Ye Qiu looked at the Long-browed True Man, with a curl of his lips, and said disdainfully: “Kill me?” Just you? Hehe…”
What the hell are you heheing! If you don’t believe it, let’s have a gesture. The Long-browed True Man rolled up the sleeves of his Taoist robe, looking like he was going to fight.
Tang Fei only felt a headache and said： “Senior, Ye Qiu, don’t quarrel anymore.”
“Hmph, if this little bastard doesn’t apologize to me today, I’ll kill him…”
The Long-browed True Man’s words were not finished yet, when he suddenly turned his head and looked towards the city gate.
Almost at the same time, Ye Qiu’s eyes also looked in the same direction, as if facing a great enemy.
