Chapter 53: Five Horses Split Bodies
There was silence all around, and no response was heard.
How so? That strange woman, where the hell did she go?!
Erhei looked at it carefully, this is a small passage, there is no fork in the passage, and there is no place to hide around. But she was gone! Did it disappear into thin air?
"Where the hell are you? If you hear me, answer me...... Answer me...... Answer me...... I screamed...... Ah......h Sound...... Yes...... Yes...... Ah......h
Except for Erhei's voice, there was still no sound.
Erhei stood silently in this dark and silent space, feeling that the whole world had left him.
Younger sister? He suddenly missed his little sister very, very much......
Suddenly, a drop of water fell on the tip of Erhei's nose with a "pop".
He reached out and touched it, it was a little sticky, and it smelled slightly fishy.
Erhei was suddenly shocked, he hurriedly took two steps back, and at this time, suddenly a stream of water fell from the sky, and fell to the place where Erhei was standing just now.
Water splashed on the ground, and a fishy smell hit the face.
Erhei looked up and saw a person hanging above him, and the ropes that tied the limbs of that person were constantly pulling in different directions.
The ropes tightened and tightened, but none of them broke. The man's body was slowly torn in half, in half......
Blood flowed down his drooping intestines and fractures. Erhei was suddenly startled, he retreated again and again, looking at the people above him in horror.
Who could that be?
The man's neck had been strangled by a tough rope with a deep blood mark, his head was tilted back, Erhei could only see his chin, plus the distance was too far, and the surroundings were relatively dark, Erhei could only see a rough outline, and he couldn't even see whether the person was male or female.
If it weren't for the constant shaking of the rope tied to him, Erhei would almost have thought it was a corpse.
Wait, this man is still alive?! Erhei suddenly felt cold, if he was really alive, what would it be like to be in pain? But Erhei stood below, but he didn't even hear a moan.
Erhei suddenly remembered a kind of criminal law in ancient times - car splitting.
The car is cracked, also known as Yuan, and the folk are commonly known as the five horses splitting the corpse. It is a cruel criminal law in which the head and limbs of the tortured person are tied to five chariots, and then the five horses are driven and the limbs are torn apart at the same time.
I heard that Shang Ying during the Warring States Period was framed by hostile forces after the death of Qin Xiaogong, and finally died of the punishment of car splitting. There are also Chang Yu during the reign of King Yingzheng of Qin, Ma Yiyuan at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Yang Xuangan, the secretary of the Sui Dynasty's Ministry of Rites, who all died of this kind of criminal law.
Until the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom period, the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan even promulgated the "Five Horses Dividing the Corpse" as an official punishment in the world.
Erhei couldn't see the galloping horse, maybe the five horses were hiding in a place he couldn't see, galloping frantically. Erhei knows that this kind of pain cannot be described in words.
However, doesn't it say that the five horses are divided into "corpses"? Why is it a living person? And this person who was "divided" could be the strange woman just now?
Could it be that there is some powerful mechanism here, as soon as she walked in, she was hit by the mechanism here? Thinking of this, Erhei suddenly bounced up from the ground as if he had exploded. He stared warily around him.
There was silence all around, and there was no movement.
But that's not right, the man was tilting his head just now, if that's the case, Erhei should be able to see the big handful of black and long hair standing below, but after the person's body was separated, Erhei didn't see a single hair. What's more, judging from the woman's previous look and speech, it was not the first time she had come here, and she should have known that there was something in it.
If there is really any mechanism here, even that woman can't escape, and with Erhei's ability, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to ascend to the sky. But now he stands here well.
Erhei thought: This person must not be the strange woman I just met!
So who could he be? Why are you tied up here for this sin?
Erhei didn't dare to look above his head again, he lowered his head, and didn't dare to go any further. It's just hesitant and tangled.
"You can't come yet?!" A voice suddenly sounded in his ears, like a beam of light in the darkness, instantly breaking the silence around him.
By the way, when did the bleeding stop just now? Thinking like this, Erhei hesitantly raised his eyes to look, but this look surprised him.
The ground was clean, not a drop of blood.
He involuntarily looked up to look at ......
The man hanging above his head...... It's gone!
"Are you going to go or not?" The woman's voice came from the front again, sounding extremely impatient.
Erhei looked up, then at the ground in front of him, gritted his teeth and rushed over.
There was a man standing in front of him, and Erhei saw her blurred outline, and her long hair was somewhat familiar.
The man stood less than ten meters away from Erhei and looked at him with a smile in his eyes.
Erhei looked at his ill-intentioned eyes, and his heart suddenly jumped, he had never seen such sharp and cruel eyes, looking at this kind of look, his feet involuntarily stopped......
The man walked towards Erhei.
Erhei had to step back step by step, but the man followed Erhei's footsteps step by step, and she said while approaching Erhei: "Don't blame me, you brought it on yourself!" His voice sounded unusually calm.
Erhei suddenly found that he was really naïve, and he would think that she would really take herself out......
This strange man, now staring at him with a fierce gaze, could tear him to pieces like a ferocious beast at any moment, and perhaps even worse.
"You...... Why are you killing me? Erhei asked in horror as he stepped back.
The man shook his head and said, "No, I didn't want to kill you in the first place. ”
"And what do you want to do?" The horror in Erhei's heart grew deeper and deeper.
But the man spoke no more. Looking at her ruthless eyes, Erhei suddenly thought of the torn apart person he had just seen.
Could it be that he will also suffer the same fate as him?
Or, it was simply himself, the vicious woman, who let him see for himself how miserable he was, and then watch him die little by little in fear and pain......
"Ah!!h A scream suddenly erupted from Erhei's mouth......
