Mr. Baohe was so entangled by Mr. Xing that he had no choice but to agree to go to watch the sentence together.Considering Liu Zian's mental state, Mr. Baohe didn't intend to take him with him, but Liu Zian didn't want Mr. Baohe to go out with Mr. Xing alone. Although he was very scared, he still followed him .

On the way, the master and apprentice learned the specific details about the event.The car was not burned in the mansion, but in a mountain villa outside the city that had been abandoned for many years.It is said that there is also a weird legend about that mountain villa, that is, whenever there is no moon, a woman in a red dress with loose hair will walk through the corridor without touching the ground.

The night of the execution happened to be a dark night without a moon.Liu Zian tightly tugged on Mr. Baohe's sleeve, but his eyes flicked around, and everything he saw seemed fresh.Mr. Baohe let him tug on his sleeves, and looked around calmly.Through the shadow of the lights in the hall, one could see that the city lord was already sitting in front of the porch, with five or six attendants serving him respectfully. This was nothing new, but one of them had particularly bright eyes, showing that he was watching a good show. look.The man also noticed that someone was looking at him, and moved his gaze from the center of the courtyard.The moment he saw Mr. Baohe, his eyes lit up first, as if seeing an old friend he hadn't seen for many years, and then he seemed to realize that he was still on errand, trying to suppress his emotions, but the corners of his eyes were still full of smiles Yes, she pouted at Mr. Baohe, motioning him to look at the center of the courtyard.

Mr. Baohe looked towards the center of the courtyard in the direction indicated by the man, and saw a gorgeous car parked there. The light-colored hood was clearly visible in the dark. There were no mules or horses tied to the car, and the black shaft Slanted on the pedals, the metal accessories on the car shone with golden light like stars.Seeing this scene, even though it was late spring, one could not help but feel chills all over the body.Blue curtains trimmed with jacquard satin were hung heavily on the car, and no one knew what was going on inside the car.Around the car, the handymen were holding flaming torches, taking care not to let the smoke drift to the verandah, and they were waiting in full force.

"Sir, do you think there are really people in that car?" Liu Zian asked, as if he didn't want to believe that he was about to witness the tragic scene of a living person being burned to death.

"Maybe..." Mr. Baohe said.

"Then sir, the person inside is actually a death row prisoner who has committed the most heinous crimes." Liu Zian felt that if he was burned as a person full of crimes, then the torture of fire would seem less unacceptable.

"Maybe..." Mr. Baohe said again.

Seeing that Mr. Baohe was not interested in talking to him, Liu Zian curled his lips, but in a blink of an eye, he saw a person sitting directly opposite the veranda.

"Sir, don't you think that's Master Bai?" Liu Zian called out in a low voice.

Mr. Baohe looked in the direction of his finger, and saw that Painter Bai still seemed to be sitting there wearing his weird clothes. Perhaps because of the starry sky, he looked thinner than usual, looking poor and pitiful.There is a person standing behind him, probably the disciple he brought.Both of them huddled in the shadows in the distance. If Liu Zian hadn't had sharp eyes, no one would have noticed their existence.

It was almost midnight.The entire courtyard was shrouded in darkness, everyone held their breaths and were speechless, only the night breeze was blowing gently in the silence, and every time the wind passed by, there was the smell of burning wood.Just now, Mr. Xing came over and invited them to go to the verandah to watch the execution. Mr. Baohe wanted to refuse but seeing Liu Zian's enthusiastic expression, he agreed.

"Zian, aren't you afraid of this kind of scene?" Mr. Baohe asked a little puzzled.

"Yes, but thinking that the world has lost a scourge, I can't help but start looking forward to it." Liu Zian replied in a low voice, looking a little embarrassed.

"How do you know that the burner is a disaster?" Mr. Baohe asked back.

"This..." Liu Zian replied after hesitating for a moment, "In the past few days, I have heard them say all kinds of good things about the city lord. Therefore, such cruel punishment must be used on death row prisoners."

Mr. Baohe shook his head lightly but did not refute him, saying: "I hope it can be as you wish."

The city lord stood up, stared at the strange scene in front of him, lowered his head and muttered secretly, as if to say "absurd, absurd".After a while, he suddenly raised his head, moved his knee forward, and shouted sharply: "Painter Bai!"

Painter Bai seemed to answer something from a distance, but all Liu Zian heard was a low moan.

"Painter Bai, tonight I will do as you wish and burn this car for you to see."

Saying that, the city lord glanced at the attendants beside him.Liu Zian seemed to see a meaningful smile exchanged between the city lord and someone beside him. He was puzzled and shook his head, telling himself that it must be an illusion.

Painter Bai tremblingly raised his head, looked towards the direction of the verandah, opened his mouth, but finally said nothing.

"Look carefully, this is the car I usually ride in, do you recognize it? I will order the car to be set on fire right now, so that you can see the scene of Avici Hell with your own eyes."

The city lord paused again, exchanged glances with the attendants beside him, and then said in a low voice: "In the car, there is a maid who made a mistake. If the car is set on fire, that person will definitely be burned to the bone. The meat is rotten, and the death is extremely painful... But, Master Bai, you don't care about these trivial matters, the snow-like skin was scorched, and the black hair disappeared in an instant, isn't this just the model you have dreamed of?"

The city lord kept his mouth shut for the third time, as if he was thinking about something, then he shook his shoulders, laughed silently, and said: "Such a scene is really a rare sight in three lifetimes, and I count it thanks to Master Bai. I'm addicted. Come here, lift the curtain and let Master Bai see the maid who made a mistake inside."

As soon as the city lord gave an order, a handyman strode up to the car with a torch held high, and lifted the curtain of the car.The burning torch crackled and exploded with sparks, and the red flames clearly illuminated everything in the carriage.Mr. Baohe tried to open his eyes wide, how he hoped that he was wrong!The "woman" in the car who was cruelly tied up with iron chains was dressed in gorgeous women's clothes and her face was covered with makeup, but her humble and gentle side face with a bit of sadness was clearly the painter Bai whom she hadn't seen for a long time. Son, Bai Xuan, Bai Xianggong.

"Little Bai! Daddy, you are confused, the person inside is Bai Xuan!" Mr. Xing exclaimed when he saw the scene in the carriage.

"Nonsense, that's obviously a maid who made a mistake." The city lord said softly.

"Father, I will not admit my mistake. A Xuan has been with me since he was a child. I will tell you what he looks like... In short, that person must be him..." Mr. Xing's face was flushed, and he argued incoherently.

"Are you questioning me?" The city lord glared at him.

Mr. Xing silenced his voice for a moment, but after hesitating for a moment, he continued, "Mr. Baohe has also met Axuan, so he can also testify."

"Oh, I didn't expect that my son, who was raised so hard, would connect with outsiders to question me..." The city lord smiled lightly, and raised his hand to stop Young Master Xing from interrupting, "So what if that person is Bai Xuan? You still have to go Can't save him?"

"I have to save him, he is my best brother..." Mr. Xing said anxiously, for fear that if he was too late, his friend would be burned to ashes.

"Brother? I don't remember recognizing such a godson." The city lord sneered.

Mr. Xing wanted to say something more, but suddenly he saw the guards around him standing up abruptly, holding the handle of the knife in one hand, and cautiously staring in the direction of Painter Bai.Liu Zian looked in amazement, and found that Painter Bai had become half insane, with his arms outstretched, and unconsciously ran in the direction of the car.Seeing this scene, Liu Zian's dissatisfaction with Master Bai had long been forgotten, leaving nothing but sadness in his heart.

"Light it up!" The city lord gave an order, and the handymen threw their torches at the car one after another.The car was originally made of wood, and it was extremely flammable. In addition, it was poured with oil before, and it turned into a sea of ​​flames in an instant.

The flames wrapped the hood in an instant, and the purple tassels hanging from the eaves were rolled up by the fire and turned into ashes in an instant.White smoke swirled from under the carport, and sparks rained all over the sky—that horrible sight was beyond description.In the car, Bai Xuan's handsome face that was choked back by the thick smoke, his messy long hair curled up in the flames, and his colorful clothes that turned into a ball of fire in an instant... Especially when a gust of night wind blows away the dense While smoking, the figure of Bai Xuan biting his black hair and struggling hard appeared in the flames splashed by the Venus. The scene was like a vivid presentation of the suffering of hell in front of everyone.

"Little Bai!" Young Master Xing screamed, broke away from the restraints of the guards on the left and right, and ran towards the car.

"Come back!" The city lord tried to grab him, but only grabbed his coat.

However, Mr. Xing's plan did not succeed. The attendant who had been standing beside the city lord knocked him unconscious with quick eyesight and quick hands.Facing the castellan's suspicious gaze, he shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's better to faint than die." Now, even the castellan was speechless.

So, what about the painter Bai as his father?He was running towards the car unconsciously, but at the moment when the fire started, he stopped, with his hands still stretched forward, his eyes staring straight at the flames and thick smoke that engulfed the car.His whole body was shrouded in flames, his eyes that were about to crack, his distorted lips, and his twitching cheeks vividly expressed the fear, sorrow, and shock in Master Bai's heart.

Liu Zian couldn't bear to look any further, but Mr. Baohe did stare blankly at Painter Bai standing in front of the flame.How incredible!Painter Bai, who had been tortured just now, now had an indescribable brilliance on his face—the ecstatic expression made it hard to imagine that he was witnessing the scene of his only son being burned alive by the fire.He has probably forgotten that he is in front of the city lord at this moment, with his arms tightly hugged on his chest, his eyes are fascinated, what is presented to him is not the scene of his son's tragic death, but the beautiful color of the flames, and "" woman", this scene made him extremely happy, he could not wait to write down everything he saw in front of him...
