As soon as I stepped onto the steps, the scenery in front of me suddenly changed. The mountain road became distant and dreamy. Behind me, I didn't know where I was going, and I didn't know where I was going back.

"You can only move forward, not backward."

Everyone thought of the climbing rules mentioned in the ancient ink seal script.

"It seems that we can only move forward!" The way back is obscured by the clouds and rainbow lights. Those clouds and rainbow lights cannot be touched, so there is no way to retreat, so we can only move forward.

As his mind turned, ancient seal scripts with wings flew out from the clouds and rainbow light on both sides, and landed in front of everyone in an orderly manner.

Then, like an ink scroll, the ancient seal script slowly unfolded, and lines of writing appeared in front of Ye Qing's eyes.

However, Ye Qing could only see his own riddles, but not other people's. Obviously, everyone could only answer their own riddles and could not help others.

"Come on, let me show you the skills of a top student!"

Ye Qing rolled up his sleeves and focused on the riddle in front of him.

"It's not above, it's not below, it's not above, it's not above, it's just below - make a puzzle."

"..."

Uh, what the hell is the word "can't go up" or "can't go down"?

Ye Qing touched his nose, and below the writing, there was a countdown number: ten, nine, seven...

There is also a time limit. Did you make a mistake? Should you be so cruel?

Is it going to fail at the first question?

"You idiot, it's one!"

Suddenly, Yaya's contemptuous tone sounded in his ears.

"One?" Ye Qing frowned and thought carefully: "Up is not above, the 'one' in the word 'shang' is not above; down is not down, the 'one' in the word 'xia' is not below; it cannot be above, 'no'

The "一" in the character "ke" is at the top; "yi" is at the bottom, and the "一" in the character "yi" is at the bottom."

“As expected, it’s the word ‘一’!”

Ye Qing clapped his hands and suddenly realized.

"It's originally the word '一', good friend, you are so stupid, Yaya guessed it right away!" Yaya said proudly.

Ye Qing touched his nose in embarrassment, feeling despised from a top student and trembling from a lowly student.

"one".

When the time was about to end, Ye Qing hurriedly replied loudly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the writing in the air turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the clouds and mist in front of him. The clouds and mist seemed to be blown away by the wind, revealing the second step.

At this time, Ye Qing breathed a sigh of relief and had time to look at the other people on the side.

I saw that everyone looked sad and scratched their heads and ears, but unfortunately even if they scratched their hair until they were bald, there was nothing they could do. They were all a bunch of rough guys with no bright minds. They only knew how to beat and kill. It was okay to let them beat and kill people.

But asking them to guess riddles isn't asking martial artists to do embroidery, which is embarrassing?

The only exception was Xiaoyang, who gave an answer with a confident look.

However, the next moment, the writing in the air flickered and turned into a colorful chain, while a cross wooden stake appeared behind Xiaoyang, and the chains shuttled back and forth, tying Xiaoyang to the wooden stake.

"How could it be wrong? Isn't this the answer?" Xiaoyang looked confused, as if he couldn't believe that he answered wrongly.

At this time, the puzzle-solving time is over, and those who answered incorrectly or did not answer will have the writing in front of them turned into chains, and they will be tied up.

After a cursory glance, Ye Qing discovered that except for him, everyone had answered wrongly or failed to answer correctly. Dozens of people were tied up together, which looked quite...spectacular.

After everyone was tied to the wooden stakes, a whip appeared in the air. The whip was covered with barbs and looked very penetrating.

"Binding? Whip?" Is it so exciting? Are there any candles? Ahem... I'm thinking wrongly.

"Snapped……"

The whips fell together, and everyone was shocked. There was a look of pain on their faces, and a bloody mark appeared on their bodies, and their flesh and blood were blurred.

It's just a beating, but the key is the barbs on the whip. Every time you pull it, it will tear off a piece of flesh and blood. The pain, the sourness, just think about it...don't think about it.

At the beginning of the few whips, some people bit them forcefully without complaining of pain, but gradually, everyone couldn't stand it any longer, and when the whip went down, they all wailed.

For a time, flesh and blood and wails flew together, with a cheerful and rhythmic rhythm.

"Snapped……"

"Ah...oh..."

"Snapped……"

"Ah...oh..."

…

"It seems that there are some strange sounds coming in?" Being abused is a very cruel thing, but watching someone being abused is... a very satisfying thing.

It’s even more fun to watch dozens of people being tortured together!

Ye Qing, who was admiring the crowd being tied up and whipped, suddenly heard something a little bit wrong in those voices.

After careful identification, I discovered that the "oh" sound was actually made by Xiaoyang.

Following the sound, Xiaoyang was seen covered in blood and flesh, but his face was filled with relief. Every time the whip fell, everyone else screamed, but Xiaoyang let out a comfortable groan.

"..."

Others are suffering, but you are feeling comfortable?

Ye Qing looked strange, he didn't expect you to be such an inspector.

Can't afford to offend, can't afford to offend!

After twenty lashes, the punishment ended. The chains, wooden stakes, and whips in the air all disappeared. After these instruments of torture disappeared, the hideous wounds and blood on everyone also disappeared, and they were all healed, as if they had never been injured.

.

Even so, everyone's face was pale; they seemed fine now, but the punishment just now was a real experience, that kind of pain, and no one wanted to try it again.

Of course, everyone except Xiaoyang, who had a regretful look on his face, as if he still had something to say.

"Brother, you really should try it, that taste, tsk tsk..." Xiaoyang also noticed Ye Qing's strange expression, moved a few steps sideways, walked to Ye Qing's side, licked his lips and said.

"..."

Ye Qing subconsciously moved a few steps to one side and said righteously: "No need, I am a scholar, a learned person, and a decent person."

Not the same as you.

After saying that, Ye Qing quickly jumped to the second step, cherish life and stay away from Xiaoyang!

After arriving at the second step, an ancient seal script with wings flew over and slowly unfolded to form a new riddle: The upper body is a small mountain, the lower body is a real mountain. When the two characters are combined, the whole is a big mountain - type one character.

.

"This is simple, I know!" Seeing this riddle, Ye Qing thought for a moment and guessed the answer: "Yue!"

Up the hill, down the hill, the hill is a small mountain, the mountain is a true mountain, and when combined with the word "yue", it is a big mountain.

As soon as he finished speaking, the handwriting turned into rainbow light, brushing away the clouds and mist, revealing the upward steps.

"Brother, you guessed it right?!" Xiao Yang just climbed up the second step and saw the third step exposed in front of Ye Qing. He was so surprised that he didn't say anything for a long time.

Ye Qing flicked his sleeves and said calmly: "After all, I am also a learned person. This trivial matter cannot trouble me!"

"Is this kid really a scholar?" Xiaoyang felt horrified and unwilling. If others could do it, he could do it too. More importantly, the first person to reach the top of the mountain would undoubtedly gain greater benefits.

So, he gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, and thought, an ancient seal script flew over and revealed a riddle. After examining it for a long time, Xiaoyang confidently spoke out his answer.

Then, in Ye Qing's pitiful eyes, the line of text turned into a hot oil pan, and Xiaoyang fell into it gorgeously.

Amidst the sound of "chichi", Xiaoyang Monster screamed again and again, struggling to jump out, but as if there was a mysterious force imprisoning him, he was still unable to jump out of the oil pan.

The hot oil is rolling, Xiaoyang is like a salted fish, gradually disappearing, fried to brown and crispy, and a burst of fragrance wafts on the Mysterious Mountain.

"You won't be fried, will you?" Ye Qing felt cold in his heart, and the other people who climbed to the second step didn't get there either, with ugly faces.

Ten breaths later, the oil pan disappeared and Xiaoyang fell out.

But Xiaoyang, who was lying on the ground, was twitching slightly. After a while, he slowly raised his head and looked at Ye Qing: "This oil pan is just average, not hot at all!"

"Well, I believe it!" Regardless of whether others believe it or not, I believe it anyway.

With Xiaoyang as a warning, the others became more serious, racking their brains, shaving their hair off, and answering their own riddles.

However, solving puzzles does depend on IQ.

Most people still follow Xiaoyang's footsteps and fall into the oil pan, fry it until it's golden and crispy, sprinkle some cumin, pour some soup, and it's ready to eat!

However, fortunately, they are all people who are struggling to survive on the verge of life and death. They have strong willpower and will become good men again when the punishment is over.

Although he is a little wilted, he is still alive after all.

Ye Qing sighed. Although he wanted to help, it was a pity that he couldn't help it!

The rules don’t allow it!

He didn't have the consciousness to sacrifice his family for everyone, and to save one person, he was blown up to a golden crisp. And there were so many people, and if he helped one person get blown up once, who knows if he would be blown to ashes dozens of times later!

"Forget it, let's settle down with our destiny!"

Ye Qing shook his head, looking out of sight, and climbed up to the third step.

It sheds three autumn leaves and can bloom February flowers.

Thousands of feet of waves crossed the river, and thousands of bamboo poles slanted into it. - Hit something.

"Ancient poetry riddle? Changed the style?" As soon as he stepped onto the third step, the ancient seal script flew over and turned into a riddle.

"Three autumn leaves fall, and February flowers bloom... hit one thing, hit another thing? By the way, it's the wind! Only the wind can fall three autumn leaves, bloom February flowers, raise thousands of feet of waves, and blow thousands of bamboo poles."

"My good friend, Feng, you have become smarter!" Yaya smiled and clapped her hands, praising.

"..."

I'm very smart to begin with, okay! But, being praised by top students is okay!

The answer is naturally correct, revealing the fourth step.

As soon as he finished answering, Xiaoyang rushed up again and saw Ye Qing on the fourth step. Without saying a word, he gritted his teeth and stamped his feet.

Then, I got the wrong answer again.

A word turned into a small knife and slashed across Xiaoyang's body. A piece of flesh as thin as a cicada's wing slid down from the tip of the knife.

Xiaoyang trembled, his face turned pale, as if he remembered something, his eyes gradually became extremely frightened, and big beads of sweat fell from his forehead.

The light of the knife flickered, and another piece of thin flesh fell off Xiaoyang's body. The thickness was exactly the same as the previous piece; but there was no trace of blood seeping out from the wound on Xiaoyang's body.

"Death by a thousand cuts?!"

Ye Qing was stunned. According to legend, the real punishment of being cut into pieces with thousands of cuts can make the victim suffer thousands of cuts without dying and experience the pain alive.

Poor baby, this is the result of not studying well!
