Bab 602: Imperial Consort

Emperor Xia left his seat, with a curved knife pointed at the chest of Guan Longzi.

"I heard that sage's heart had seven orifices. I wonder if yours were the same," the voice of Emperor Xia came from a distance.

The knife pricked through the body and the heart jumped out. It was still beating.

Guan Longzi's heart was not much different from ordinary people. It did not have seven orifices.

Slowly, he sat crossed-leg on the floor and there, he lost all signs of living.

A heart fell into the dust. Emperor Xia commanded, "Guards, throw him out to feed the dog."

Soundlessly, two guards with an iron mask and black armor appeared. They took away Guan Longzi and his heart.

In the dog shed, the two guards threw the body and the heart. A group of hounds hurriedly ate the body, leaving the heart untouched. None of the hounds dared to eat it. It was as if the heart was poisonous.
