The most incompetent executioner in history took three knives to cut off a man s head

In ancient times, the executioner could not cut off the head with a knife, which is generally divided into three situations, the first one, the family of the prisoner did not give money, and there was an unspoken rule circulating between the lines, if the family wanted to make the criminal die happily, they needed to give money to the executioner, so that the knife went down cleanly, and the criminal suffered at all. Second, the criminal has strong bones and strong bodies, and it is very difficult to kill. Third, the executioner is timid and unskilled.

The executioner who killed Xue Wanche killed Xue Wanche with three knives, I really don't know if it belongs to that kind of situation, but it is a pity that Xue Wanche is such a brave general, he did not die on the battlefield, and his reputation is far and wide, and he was finally killed for rebellion, and he died unjustly. <>

The executioner who didn't listen to his master and cut off 300 heads in his life was Deng Haishan, because he didn't listen to his master's words at the beginning, which also led to his final loneliness and helplessness, which can be described as extremely desolate, but all these evil consequences were caused by himself, and he couldn't blame others.

The ancient executioner can be said to be a murderous profession, which also led to the disgust of everyone for this profession, I think they are very unlucky, but this obscure profession has existed for thousands of years, and it has only been abolished in modern times. And the last executioner was Deng Haishan, who cut off 300 heads in his life. In the executioner industry is relatively rare.

Deng Haishan was lazy to eat, so he went to be an executioner in order to beg for food, because of his hard work during training, he soon went to the real execution ground, but Deng Haishan's master told him that the industry of being an executioner can only cut 99 heads, and he must stop it in time, otherwise there will be no good end, but Deng Haishan is lazy and lazy, and he has been cutting off 300 heads without listening to his master's words, and he did not continue to cut off until the executioner industry was abolished.

Although he was no longer an executioner, because he had cut off too many beheadings at that time, many villagers, relatives and friends were reluctant to approach him, which also made him very lonely, resulting in some psychological distortion, he would have nightmares every night, so he was ready to go to the monk's house, but because he killed too much, no temple took him in, Deng Haishan was so lonely, lonely, and lived a lifetime in fear, and the words left by his master were also fulfilled, which shows that you can't be too greedy, and you can't be too lazy.

He was very miserable later, and he was alone all his life. But he is also on a mission, and it is not up to him to kill or not.

This man ended up miserable, wandering outside, without children and wives.

In the end, he died alone, did not marry a wife and have children, and lived in great poverty.

In the end, he died alone, and no one dared to accompany him, which can be said to be miserable.

Everyone said that he was miserable, but in fact he was miserable, and he knew it himself.

Executioner is a special profession under the feudal society of our country, because the ancients were superstitious, so many people are reluctant to engage in this profession, after all, it is to take people's lives, afraid that there will be ghosts entangled, and then affect luck. Although many people are taboo about this profession, it can't stand the high salary, so many poor people will still try it. But there are many rules for becoming an executioner, one of which is that you can't sharpen your knife, so even if you use a blunt knife to cut someone on the execution ground, you won't sharpen it, why is that?

1. The knife that has cut off the head has accumulated a lot of unjust souls

In ancient times, officialdom was relatively dark, so many of the cases handled were unjustly killed. After being beheaded, the souls accumulate on the chopper. If you want to sharpen the knife, it means getting close to the blade, which can easily bring bad things.

And the ancient executioner would stop doing it with 99 heads in the machete, and if he continued to cut off the head, it would bring bad things, so after meeting the standard, the knife would be taken to the temple to be enshrined, so as to resolve the resentment on the knife.

Second, the supervisor asked for a blunt knife to cut off the head

You must know that in ancient times, the most vicious criminals cut off their heads in an ordinary way, and they could not vent the anger of the people, so they would choose to use blunt knives at this time. Because the blunt knife does not cut off the head at once, then the prisoner will suffer great pain. If the knife is sharp, then the head will hit the ground quickly, and the prisoner will not suffer a lot of pain in a very short time.

In history, the six gentlemen of the Qing Dynasty used a blunt knife to cut off their heads, which was specially explained by Cixi, and ending the lives of the six gentlemen in this painful way was nothing more than to vent their anger and deter the most common people.

All in all, the profession of an executioner is not so easy, after all, murder is bloody, and bloody scenes are often seen. Without a strong psychological construction, it is difficult to live a peaceful life, if the psychological quality of the person is low, then it will bring mental harm, so there are high requirements when choosing an executioner.

The executioner does not sharpen the knife in advance, even if the prisoner is in pain during the execution, the executioner does not sharpen the knife, there is no such rule. Why, as mentioned earlier, the executioner's knife has the soul of all the condemned prisoners in his career, so they dare not sharpen the knife easily, this is disrespectful to the deceased, but also disrespectful to their own profession, in short, unless the family of the condemned prisoner gives money to ask the executioner to sharpen the knife, the executioner will not sharpen the knife before the execution.

Because in the superstitious ancient executioners, they believed that the sword had the ghost of the person who was killed, and that sharpening the knife would bring disaster to themselves, so they did not sharpen the knife.

The ancients have always attached great importance to the idea of reincarnation and lonely souls. Therefore, in the eyes of these executioners, the knife has the soul of the condemned prisoner, and if the knife is sharpened, their soul will be sharpened, and secondly, sharpening the knife will also increase the complexity of the executioner's work. So they never sharpen their knives.

Because if the knife is particularly sharp, it is easy to get stuck when slashing people.

In ancient times, when cutting heads, why did the executioner prefer to cut people with a blunt knife rather than sharpen the knife?
