275. Chapter 275: Daqin Torture, Legend of Human Pillars
Today is the wedding day of Mr. Zheng Weida and his wife, Miss Ye Qingqing.
I hope that the book friends who are currently online can send their best wishes to the newlyweds. Thank you.
Liu Shiba is here to wish them a harmonious marriage and a son soon.
In just a few minutes, Tian Mingjian disappeared.
How is this possible?
"Look back"
Liu Shiba anxiously pushed aside the stunned people, and ran toward the dark bridgehead with his army thorn in his hand.
Zhu Yingtai's eyes flashed, and she quickly took a few steps forward, blocking the crowd and Liu Shiba and saying:
"I'll just go and take a look. Lu Xiaolin is here to take care of Mr. Li."
After saying that, Zhu Yingtai's cold eyes swept across the faces of everyone who was stunned.
Liu Shiba turned on the miner's lamp and looked for it step by step. When he turned around and saw Zhu Yingtai chasing after him, he said solemnly:
"How are the others?"
"I asked Lu Xiaolin to stay where he is. If anything happens, the people controlled by his poison will do their best to protect him."
Zhu Yingtai responded coldly.
"Old Tian is in danger this time"
Liu Shiba sighed, feeling very annoyed at his carelessness.
"Little Master, I haven't found Lao Tian yet, don't worry."
Zhu Yingtai consoled him.
A few minutes later, the two of them walked quickly to the end without even noticing a ghost. Tian Mingjian seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.
"Where are the people?"
Reluctantly, Lu Xiaolin searched several times within a radius of more than ten meters, but still found nothing.
"impossible"
Liu Shiba was frightened and turned around to see Lao Hei following silently behind him.
"Old Hei, find Lao Tian."
Liu Shiba shouted sharply.
Lao Hei shook his head, let out a low whimper, his eyes flashed with golden light, sniffed the ground a few times, and then ran towards the bridge again.
After running about fifty meters, when the light of the miner's lamp barely reached the bridge, Lao Hei suddenly stopped at the edge of the river and stared blankly into the silver river.
Liu Shiba and Zhu Yingtai, who came later, quickly followed them and searched forward and backward with miner's lamps.
"Little Master, look here"
Zhu Yingtai screamed.
Liu Shiba's heart trembled when he heard this. When he looked back, he saw a pool of dark red blood soaked into the soil on the ground.
Zhu Yingtai squatted down, picked up a small lump of soil with his fingers, put it on the tip of his nose, sniffed it gently, and said solemnly:
“The fresh one is Lao Tian”
Liu Shiba gritted his teeth and stared at the bottomless, strange silver river, speechless for a long time.
"It is estimated that when Lao Tian ran to the bridge, he was attacked by someone and fell into the water."
Zhu Yingtai made an ugly face and analyzed it carefully.
Liu Shiba frowned and said:
"Isn't Lao Tian the last one on the left? Who can sneak attack him?"
"I don't know either"
Zhu Yingtai shook her head helplessly.
"Go, go back"
Liu Shiba used the miner's lamp to shine back and forth a few times, then waved his hands dejectedly.
Seeing Liu Shiba coming back with a gloomy face, everyone couldn't help but look at each other.
"Lao Tian estimates that the odds are stacked against him. Stop thinking about it and continue breaking the formation."
Liu Shiba waved his hand and said.
After speaking, Liu Shiba asked casually:
"On the left, who was standing on Lao Tian's right just now?"
"It's me."
Allen Hu replied with a grimace.
"Didn't you see Lao Tian coming?"
Liu Shiba frowned and asked.
"That's a fool. Who pays attention to this? I heard you calling and ran over."
After saying this, Allen Hu paused suddenly and added:
"But when I was approaching the stone bridge, it seemed that someone passed me and headed towards Lao Tian."
"oh"
Liu Shiba's eyes lit up and he asked curiously:
"See clearly who is not there"
"No, it was very dark. The miner's lamps were shining on the ground and along the river, so no one would pay attention to who was walking by."
Elian Hu shook his head blankly and explained.
Liu Shiba silently stared at Ailian Hu for a few times, and then looked at Lu Xiaolin who was standing beside him in a daze.
"Breaking the formation, nothing can stop me."
There was a coldness in Liu Shiba's voice.
Cao Xiong nodded secretly when he saw this.
Liu Shiba said to Lu Xiaolin:
"Lu Xiaolin, from now on, you will stand at the end and take care of the old village chief, Mr. Li."
Lu Xiaolin nodded, turned around, walked to Li Laifu and stood next to him.
He knew that Liu Shiba's intention was not to really ask him to take care of Li Laifu, on the contrary, but to let Li Laifu, a sixth-grade Feng Shui master and sixth-grade warrior, protect him.
Although Li Laifu was injured, he was not a strong man who could be easily shaken.
An injured tiger is still a tiger
Most of the dozen or so Japanese people on the base and Tang Jili's group of mercenaries were wiped out by Li Laifu with one man's strength. What a powerful force this was.
Li Laifu instantly understood Liu Shiba's meaning, looked at Lu Xiaolin with a smile and said:
"Just support me later and don't leave my side."
Lu Xiaolin grinned gratefully, and a huge golden Gu worm flashed between his lips and teeth.
Li Laifu didn't feel any discomfort when he saw this. Instead, he looked at Lu Xiaolin again in surprise and said:
"The Five Elements and Three Families, the successor of the Gu Sect is still the authentic one, the Golden Gu King"
Lu Xiaolin nodded shyly and grinned.
Li Laifu's expression became more solemn, and he took a shaky step forward, vaguely protecting Lu Xiaolin behind him.
Liu Shiba glanced at Li Laifu, who was standing at the end, from afar, then turned to look at Zhu Yingtai and said:
"You are the most powerful here. You walk in the front and cast stones to ask for directions, passing through this motionless terracotta warriors and horses.
After entering, just take one step, then throw stones at the three terracotta warriors behind him, and finally test the two on the left and right."
After saying that, Liu Shiba turned around and said:
"I'm standing second, Min'er is behind me, Cao Xiong is third, then you guys behind are standing on your own, and finally the old village chief and Lu Xiaolin.
Remember, if you take a wrong step, you will die. You must follow the footsteps of the person in front of you, and don't be careless."
Finally Liu Shiba looked at Zheng Weida and said:
"Your arm injury hasn't healed yet, so be careful."
Seeing that he had finished speaking, Liu Shiba patted Zhu Yingtai on the shoulder and said:
"Let's get started"
Zhu Yingtai took out the black military thorn from her waist with her right hand and held it tightly. She took a stone from Liu Shiba's hand with her left hand and walked forward slowly.
"Whoosh whoosh"
Zhu Yingtai looked very nervous.
To say he wasn't nervous would be a lie. Anyone who saw this living dead man smashing the detector to pieces would be scared to death.
step by step
At a distance of three to five meters, Zhu Yingtai actually walked for five or six minutes. He couldn't be told to leave, he was called to move, and he moved inch by inch.
If anything happens, you still have time to retreat.
Unfortunately, this killing formation seemed to be a joke on Zhu Yingtai, and even when he walked up to the terracotta warriors and horses that were still glowing green, he didn't make any move.
The blue terracotta warriors and horses stood quietly in place, motionless, but Zhu Yingtai felt a murderous aura.
Holding his breath, Zhu Yingtai turned her body sideways, leaning closely against the strange terracotta warriors and horses, and turned behind him.
"call"
Zhu Yingtai let out a long breath.
At this time, Liu Shiba happened to walk across from the blue terracotta warriors and horses.
At this moment, the terracotta warrior's eyes suddenly opened without warning, and his red eyes stared quietly at Liu Shiba, who was standing face to face.
"Oh"
Liu Shiba was so frightened that he almost screamed, but in the end he forced himself to swallow the scream into his throat.
Because, the terracotta warriors and horses, which were originally motionless, are still motionless at this time.
Liu Shiba is a head taller than this terracotta warrior, probably because people in ancient times were generally short in stature.
Two people face each other, and the distance between cheeks is only less than two feet.
"Cough the human pillar"
The body of this terracotta warrior did not move, but an incomprehensible sound came from his throat.
Liu Shiba broke out in white hair and cold sweat all over his body, and his spine trembled with fear.
At the same time, everyone behind Liu Shiba was too frightened to say anything.
They didn't expect that the soldier's toilet could also be moved.
"human pillar"
Only Cao Xiong, who was standing behind Ning Min'er, frowned and chewed the human pillar.
Zhu Yingtai also heard the movement behind her at this time and was so frightened that she remained motionless.
"Zhu Yingtai, continue"
Liu Shiba stared at this living dead man who had been sleeping for thousands of years, this mutant of Great Qin who had been tortured by the virus for thousands of years, and gave a calm order.
"Shua"
"Shua"
"Shua"
Zhu Yingtai raised his hand, and three dove egg-sized stones came out and hit the three cyan living warriors behind the open-eyed terracotta warriors and horses.
"Bang, bang"
"Pa"
Two consecutive sounds of weapons breaking stones were heard, and a cold blade slashed down the bridge of Zhu Yingtai's nose, splitting Zhu Yingtai in half with just a hair's breadth.
However, there was another crisp sound of stones hitting the armor.
Sure enough, among the three terracotta warriors and horses at the back, the one near the left has not moved at all.
"Little Master, there is a door"
Zhu Yingtai wiped the beads of sweat on her forehead and whispered to Liu Shiba behind her.
Liu Shiba turned back to look at Ning Min'er and said cautiously:
"Follow my footsteps and don't take a wrong step."
At this time, Ning Min'er stared at the terracotta warriors and horses who were looking at her in fear, and nodded quickly in response.
Then, Liu Shiba stood where Zhu Yingtai was just now, while Zhu Yingtai took a step to the left.
Taking one step forward, Zhu Yingtai was frightened.
Fortunately, there was no danger
At this time, Ning Min'er officially faced the staring terracotta warriors and horses.
The two of them were about the same height, staring at each other from almost a foot apart.
"human pillar"
Wearing a tall hairpin on his head and with blue cheeks, the terracotta warrior spat out two difficult words again.
Cao Xiong, who was standing behind Ning Min'er, was startled when he heard this and began to think deeply again.
"What does the human pillar mean?"
Cao Xiong looked at this living Qin soldier strangely, with a trace of fear and surprise gradually showing in his eyes.
At this time, Zhu Yingtai carefully walked to the Da Qin soldier in the second row and walked around.
This soldier is the same as the previous one, standing there motionless and quietly.
At this time, the living dead soldier standing in the second row also opened his eyes, and his pair of deep red eyes stared at Liu Shiba silently.
Strange eyes, strange living dead
The invincible legion of the Qin Dynasty thousands of years ago
One of the soldiers intimidated everyone with his murderous eyes.
"Wait a minute"
Cao Xiong stopped Zhu Yingtai who was going around the fourth row.
"Old Cao, what's wrong?"
Liu Shiba glanced at Cao Xiong in surprise.
"No, I feel something is wrong"
Cao Xiong explained carefully.
"What's wrong, Old Cao, please hurry up and say don't kill me."
Zhu Yingtai asked tremblingly.
"Did you just hear what the first terracotta warrior said?"
Cao Xiong asked nervously.
Ning Miner responded:
"I heard it, it seemed like it was a pillar"
Sun Wenming, who was behind Cao Xiong, also responded:
"human pillar"
Liu Shiba looked around for a while, then Jingyi said uncertainly:
"Ren Zhu, I said it in the ancient Qin opera, what's the matter?"
Cao Xiong gritted his teeth and said:
"You have never thought about why this guy said these two words and why the other living dead soldiers only stared but did not speak."
Liu Shiba suddenly realized:
"You mean this soldier is not simple. Standing first has other meanings."
"Yes, the old man thought about it for a long time and finally remembered an allusion."
Cao Xiong glared at Liu Shiba and explained.
"Let's listen to the allusions."
Liu Shiba said in confusion.
Cao Xiong nodded and said:
"Historical data records that after the establishment of the Qin State, Qin Laws were promulgated that prevailed throughout the country.
An important feature of Qin's laws is severe punishment. Especially Qin Shihuang's introduction of the Five Virtues, which believed that Qin had the virtue of water, water governs Yin, and Yin punishes people with death.
Therefore, he is resolute and ruthless, everything depends on the law, he carves out no benevolence, kindness and righteousness, and then combines the five virtues, so he rushes to the law, and he will not be forgiven for a long time."
"Wait a minute, I don't understand what you're talking about. Please make it simpler."
When Liu Shiba heard this, he interrupted directly.
Cao Xiong gritted his teeth and said:
"If you are not knowledgeable and skillful, I will simply say that from the records in historical books and Yunmeng Qin Slips, there are many types of punishments in the Qin Dynasty.
All forms of torture can be divided into twelve types: death penalty, corporal punishment, imprisonment, punishment, forced punishment, bribery, redemption, destruction, tempering, confinement, and continuous sitting.
Within the same punishment, there are different levels according to the method of execution, the parts of the body mutilated, the amount of whip coating, the length of the sentence, the distance of migration, and the severity of the punishment.
For example, the death penalty includes killing, killing corpses, rushing to the market, dishing, fixed killing, clan, Yi San clan, car splitting, beheading, dismemberment, sac beating, disembowelment, thorns, gouging, whipping the side, and cooking in a wok.
Corporal punishments include tattooing, grating, mutilation, and palace. Punishment punishments include armor, shield, girdle, and shaking.
There are joint sittings between relatives, joint sittings between officials and soldiers, joint sittings between superiors and subordinates of officials and soldiers, joint sittings between recommenders and recommended people, etc.
According to the provisions of Qin Law, various punishments can be used alone, repeatedly, or in combination of two or three types."
Hearing this, everyone who did not understand the laws of the Qin Dynasty could not help but be stunned.
Such a harsh punishment, how good is the order of the Qin Dynasty? Even if you don't pick up things on the road or don't close your house at night, it's a light punishment.
If one person commits a crime, the whole family will be killed
"What does this have to do with the Terracotta Warriors and Horses?"
Liu Shiba said in surprise
"The old man suspects that these terracotta warriors and horses cannot move even a step, not just because of the formation.
What is even more special is that these soldiers who exist as the eyes of the formation are the hub of the entire decisive formation. They are not only connected with the main formation.
And they were also tortured by a secret torture method of the Qin Dynasty, which was called: human pillar."
Cao Xiong's eyes were filled with fear and shock, and there was a trace of cold sweat on his forehead.
“What’s the point?”
A chill ran down Liu Shiba's spine, and he saw a different kind of relaxation on Cao Xiong's face.
"Hunzhu, we need to put a large living person in a piece of armor and roast it, so that the skin, flesh and armor can be integrated into one, and they will not die. Especially this kind of mutant, they are particularly tenacious and are more suitable.
Finally, for the completed one-piece armored man, steel nails several meters long were driven into the thigh from the hip, then into the calf, and then into the ground.
In this case, this human pillar can only stand motionless for eternity."
As Cao Xiong spoke, he pointed at the motionless terracotta warriors and horses and explained.
When everyone heard the words, they couldn't help but feel the cold wind at the same time, their spines ran cold, and they were terrified.
How cruel is it to be crucified in place for thousands of years?
