Chapter 1557 Interrogation 2

Adding children is considered a good thing in folk sayings, meaning that there are children born into the family.

A boy is called adding a *ding*, and a girl is called adding a mouth.

However, in the world of sorcery, it has another meaning: adding a nail to the top of the head is a sign of beheading.

Legend has it that in ancient times, an official was beheaded and put on public display. However, the man was born with a receding hairline, and his hair could not be tied to the pole, so the executioner nailed a nail into his scalp.

The official's name was Tian Yiding, which is also a homophone for "adding a nail," which is a taboo in the art of names.

Sometimes, people in the art of spells will also stick a needle on the head of the cursed puppet, representing a nail, meaning that they are cursing him to be beheaded and put on public display.

The constable is afraid of adding nails to his head?

I shouted sharply, "Add it!"

Nie Xiaochun didn't waste any words, directly pulled out the coffin nail from his backpack, and nailed him to the wall against the constable's scalp.

The constable suddenly slumped his eyes and stopped talking, like a deflated ball.

When Nie Xiaochun went to nail the big head, the latter grinned and said, "You nail it! Nail it as you please. I'm already like this anyway, I'm not afraid of you using tricks. People here can't be killed, you're just wasting your efforts."

"Stuff his mouth!" I drew out a dagger and waved it in front of the three people.

"You can regenerate your limbs, right?"

"Now there are three of you, and together, you can only make up one complete person."

"Whoever tells me the truth, I'll take the parts from those who don't speak and put them on him."

"Conversely, whoever is not honest can only become like that big head."

"No, it's even worse than him, I won't leave him even one eye in the end."

"Do you understand?"

The beggar and the constable quickly agreed, and the big head, although his mouth was stuffed, was also responding with a whimper.

"Very good!" I said in a deep voice, "Someone tell me, why did you trade your bodies? Whoever speaks first speaks first. Those who don't get it can save it for next time."

"I'll say it!" The beggar was the first to grab the words.

"The people who come to Da Meng Xiang (Great Dream Village) are actually all sorcerers. Take me as an example, I was born in the Beggar Clan."

Before the other party could finish speaking, I cut off one of his ears with a knife and threw it on the table: "I'm asking you questions, not listening to you making up stories for me."

"Is there a Beggar Clan in the art of sorcery?"

In the art of sorcery, there are indeed sorcerers who disguise themselves as beggars to do business, but they are not called the Beggar Clan, but the Wuyi Men (Dirty Clothes Sect).

The secret methods of the Wuyi Men are all-encompassing, but they are not elegant and belong to the bottom of the art of sorcery. Their clothes are not fixed, and there will be no situation in novels and film and television dramas where the number of patches on the clothes determines the level of identity.

Because the Wuyi Men must hide their identities.

Of course, there are also many strange people and strangers who have seen through the world and play in the world, wandering the streets like beggars. If you look closely at those people's clothes, you can tell whether they are wearing Taoist robes, monk's clothes, or Confucian clothes.

Only such people are truly masters.

As for the Beggar Clan in the martial arts world, it is just a Jianghu (Martial World) sect fabricated for the needs of novels and film and television.

In ancient times, if all the beggars in the country were added together and taught martial arts, it would be enough to rebel, and the court would not allow such a gang to appear.

Since ancient times, the Beggar Clan has indeed existed, but it is only a small-scale combination in a certain area. There is no such thing as the world's largest gang in the novel, let alone the inheritance of martial arts.

Moreover, the things that the Beggar Clan did before the founding of the country were not like the chivalrous acts in the novel.

The beggar is pulling the Beggar Clan with me, obviously trying to fool me.

I pointed the knife at the big head's eyes: "You say it!"

The big head said: "We are indeed all sorcerers. We came to Da Meng Xiang in order to exchange what we want with the owner of Da Meng Xiang."

"Who knew that when we got here, we became this kind of non-human, non-ghost appearance."

"The village chief of Da Meng Xiang told us that if we want to see the owner here, we have to get enough *tongshen* money (money to communicate with the gods) to meet him, and then exchange what we want with him."

"If we don't have money, we can exchange our bodies."

"When we have enough money, we can exchange for other people's bodies, and then we will become geniuses in the art of sorcery."

I pondered for a moment, then picked up the ear on the table and put it on the big head's head: "Then I'll ask you, what do you usually rely on to make money?"

"Rely on..." The big head hesitated slightly, and I turned to the constable: "You say it!"

The constable said quickly: "People with ability can make money through secret methods, people with good bodies can make money by mining, and we can only rely on cheating."

"Newcomers like you will become our targets as soon as you come."

"Just like we deceived you just now, if we encounter newcomers we can't deal with, we will go to those real bosses and give them a large portion of the profit, or simply give it all to them."

Hearing this, the big head couldn't help crying and said, "Actually, we are also victims! I was cheated as soon as I came in, and I was cheated until only a head was left."

"These years, I have been hiding in the trash, and haven't sold my head yet."

"If we sell our heads, we will really die."
