Chapter 63: Punishment (3)

In a trance, under this incomparably dim light, a pair of dead fish-like eyes stared closely at Ouyang Ruolin's frightened and confused face.

"No...... No...... No! You...... You...... Don't you go over it...... Come! Ouyang Ruolin said in pieces, waving her hand in a panic. Her hand accidentally touched something hard, and she looked down. A wizened hand grabbed the hem of her clothes, and then looked down to the ground, the wet man with eyes like dead fish eyes was lying at Ouyang Ruolin's feet, grinning and staring at her.

"Ahh You...... You go away! You are ...... Why do you always have to follow me?! Yes! Ouyang Ruolin shook off the thin hand that was grabbing the hem of her clothes, and ran around without a sense of direction. She ran to the other end of the rock wall, her hand on a skull embedded in the rock wall. Ouyang Ruolin looked around in horror, and the sound of rapid breathing seemed very clear and abrupt in this dead and silent environment. Ouyang Ruolin listened to the sound of her own breathing, but she was a little relieved. It's dead still, but if it's only your own voice all the time, you can relax a little. It's a pity that the heavens do not fulfill people's wishes, and things in this world always backfire. Just as Ouyang Ruolin adjusted her breathing and stabilized her emotions slightly, the familiar sound of dripping water in her memory reappeared in Ouyang Ruolin's mind. Ouyang Ruolin immediately became alert, and kept looking left and right, looking for the source of the sound. She placed a few drops of water on her right hand on a skull embedded in the rock wall. Ouyang Ruolin slowly took her hand back tremblingly, put it in front of her eyes, and she clearly saw the water in her hand. She took a few steps forward, slowly looked back at the place where she had let go, her eyes moved up a lot, and she didn't see anything. She couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, but her heart was still beating fast.

"Why am I following you?!" A terrible roar suddenly appeared in the cave and appeared behind Ouyang Ruolin. Ouyang Ruolin subconsciously turned her head and saw a person with a yellow face and thin muscles, dead fish eyes, and a wet body standing less than a foot away from her. The man suddenly came up and forced Ouyang Ruolin to lean his back against the skull rock wall again. Ouyang Ruolin saw his face clearly. This face is the face of a teenager, if it weren't for the fact that his face was covered with water and tears, if it weren't for the fact that his face was so thin that only bones remained, this face could be said to be very delicate and handsome. But now, the face is surrounded by endless resentment and anger, and water and tears are wrapped in it. Looking at his body again, his skinny body was wrapped around the chain again and again, and he walked forward, the chain dragged across the ground with the sound of "hiss~hiss~", and the dripping sound of "tick~tick~".

"I ...... I do not know! I do not know! I don't know why you're ...... Follow me! ”

"You know~You know~You know~" The man kept repeating this sentence. The owner of this voice was obviously standing in front of Ouyang Ruolin, but to Ouyang Ruolin's ears, it was as if it was coming from the other side of the cave. The sound of this cycle of non-stop seemed to have magical power, and it shook Ouyang Ruolin's head in severe pain.

"I don't know! I do not know! I do not know! Don't say any more! Yes! Ouyang Ruolin couldn't bear the pain anymore, and finally shouted.

"Senior Sister Ruolin!" Almost at the same time, Xuan Zhuyi's voice also reached Ouyang Ruolin's ears.

"I don't know!" Another shout came out of the empty cavern, and it kept echoing in the empty place, echoing in everyone's ears. Ouyang Ruolin opened her eyes wide, looking at everything around her. The others were also taken aback, gasping for breath with her, not daring to make any extra sounds. Ouyang Ruolin suddenly cried softly, making everyone present a little confused. Xuan Zhuyi comforted softly: "Ruolin~ It's okay." It's just a dream, don't be afraid. Ah~ Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, the elder brother is here. ”

Ouyang Ruolin looked at Xuan Zhuyi with tears in her eyes and said, "Senior brother, this is not a dream. I saw him, I really saw him. Senior brother, can't we get out? Big brother? ”

Xuan Zhuyi: "No, with the senior brother here, it will be fine."

Mu Zhixi: "This place is indeed very strange. But I don't think anyone wants to kill us. If they want to kill us, then is this trying to torture us now? ”

Mu Jinggong: "I don't even understand it now. Sister, are we really in a dream now? ”

Everyone bowed their heads and remained silent. In fact, now, they themselves don't know a little. Did you really come to this strange cave? Or are you still in a dream? They couldn't afford to think too much, and the cave changed a little more. In the middle of the cave suddenly rose a platform, which was full of fruits and vegetables.

Shang Ling: "Huh? How does this feel like an altar? Wrong wrong! Not an altar. It is...... Belch...... The feeling of the ancestral hall sacrifice! ”

Yu Tzu-hyuk: "According to the current position, it seems that we are the sacrifices, and the sacrificed person is directly opposite us."

Mu Zhixi: "There is still a lack of sacrificers!" However, in a moment, it will be time to come out. As he spoke, a child's voice came out of the cave, as if two children were talking, and as if a group of children were chatting.

"Three-foot shore, and the virtual car can't board. The mountain of a hundred people, let the car climb. How? Ling Chi also died. ”

"I know Peng Yue, I can't die."

"The prisoner is in the city, and the people abandon him."

"Wouldn't it be nice to eat it alive!"

"The business is pleasing, and the beauty is happy."

"Those who raise silkworms want to be warm and grow early, so they store fire in the secret room to put it in place."

"Cramp peeling, peeling and boneping."

"Nail seam, pointer."

"Naked as a sprout."

"For example, it cures hunger in aconite, quenches thirst in poison, and before it enters the stomach, it has been cut off from the throat."

"Single-handedly, straight in."

"The dragon is chopped, and it is better than the dry section."

"Peck your eyes and intestines."

"Hou Yi shoots the sun."

"Hebo marries."

"If he is guilty, he will be hanged."

"Ink."

"Clever tongue."

"Femme fatale."

"Water boils and cooks, and the water is warm and warm."

"Split, unload."

"Embroidered shoes."

Mu Jinggong: "What are these things?" What are these kids talking about? Why does it feel that something is wrong?! ”

Shang Ling: "How does this sound like ...... Punishment? ”

Xuan Zhuyi: "Punishment? Be...... It's not like that's what you want us to do, is it? ”

Ouyang Ruolin: "What kind of criminal law is this?!"

Yu Tzu He: "The first is Ling Chi. It is to cut off the flesh of a person with a knife and a knife, until the flesh is almost completely cut, and then the head of the prisoner is cut off and the prisoner is killed. Therefore, Ling Chi is also called circumcision, chopping, inching, etc. This is also known as "a thousand cuts". The second type is car cracking. The so-called car splitting is to tie the head and limbs of a person to five chariots respectively, put a horse on it, and pull it in different directions, so that the human body is torn into five pieces, so it is called a car split. Sometimes, when this kind of punishment is carried out, the car is not used, but the five oxen or five horses are directly used to pull it, so the chariot is commonly known as the five oxen or five horses are divided. Just mentioned Peng Yue, this Peng Yue was the founder of the early Han Dynasty, Liu Bang adopted the opinion of Empress Lu, and executed him for the crime of treason, and exterminated his clan. Therefore, the second type should be the punishment of car splitting. ”

Shang Ling: "The third type is ordinary decapitation. This fourth kind ......"

Yu Tzu-hyuk: "The fourth middle is skinning. It is inferred from here that it is eaten alive. This punishment is not officially prescribed by the death penalty. However, it has indeed been used many times in history and is recorded in historical records. This is more bloody and cruel, so you don't need me to explain it, right? ”

Ouyang Ruolin hurriedly said: "No, no, I'm scared when I hear it, I've already imagined it."

Yu Tzu-hyuk: "The fifth one, if I guessed correctly, should be the punishment of cannon burning. It is to make a grid of copper, simmer charcoal fire underneath, and burn the copper lattice so that the guilty prisoners walk on it barefoot, and the prisoners scream in pain, and some of them fall from the grid and fall into the fire and are burned to death. Sixth ......"

Shang Ling: "Hey, hey! Yu Jihyuk! Needless to say, the sixth type is known to everyone. ”

Mu Jinggong: "What?"

Xuan Zhuyi: "Rotten punishment."

Mu Jinggong: "...... Oh...... Oh. ”

Yu Tzu-hyuk: "The seventh type should be execution, which refers to cutting off the left, right, or both feet of the person being punished, usually the prisoner's kneecap. The eighth type seems to be the needle, that is, the needle is inserted between the fingernails, which is usually used for female prisoners. The ninth is ...... It's buried alive, probably with only the head on the ground. I don't need to talk about the tenth. ”

Mu Zhixi: "Poison, drink to quench your thirst."

Yu Tzu-hyuk: "The eleventh type is the stake punishment, in which a stick is inserted directly into a person's mouth or other places, and the whole root is submerged, piercing the stomach and intestines, and making people die a miserable death."

Ouyang Ruolin: "Why are they all so cruel?" In comparison, that poison turned out to be the most painful?! ”

Mu Zhixi: "Xing...... That's right. ”

Yu Tzu-hyuk: "The twelfth type is caesarean section. This criminal law was also first proposed by the king of Shang. At that time, the famous courtier Prince Bigan saw that the king had no way, and felt that as a courtier, he should fulfill the responsibility of assisting the monarch, so he bluntly admonished him, which angered the king, and he said to Bigan: "I heard that the heart of a saint has seven holes, is your heart like this?" So he ordered the samurai to seize Bigan, cut open the stomach, and take out the heart to see if there was any trick. The king of Shang also dissected the pregnant woman's belly alive, took out the fetus, and watched whether it was male or female. ”

Xuan Zhuyi: "Such a mediocre and unscrupulous lord is really innocent!"

Yu Tzu-hyuk: "The thirteenth is probably the intestine pumping. It is said that when eagles, eagles, eagles, and other birds of prey peck at beasts, the first thing they take is their eyes. They peck blind the beast's eyes with their sharp beaks, and the beast is unable to resist effectively without sight. Then, the birds of prey will peck at the intestines, and then it will be carnivorous. The fourteenth is shooting. Comparing people to running prey, shooting them with arrows may seem to some people to be a kind of entertainment. The fifteenth is the sinking river. I don't know much about the specifics, but I remember that the so-called Hebo marriage is to sink the daughter of the people to the bottom of the river, in fact, I think it probably refers to drowning, right? ”

Ouyang Ruolin: "The person I saw was wet and had chains on his body. I think he drowned. ”

Yu Tzu-hyuk: "...... The sixteenth is hanging, and the seventeenth is ink. The eighteenth is amputation, but it seems to be just a legend. Legend has it that during the Yongjia period of the Western Jin Dynasty, a monk from Tianzhu arrived, and he would perform the trick of breaking his tongue. Before the performance, he opened his mouth and stuck out his tongue for the guests to see, and then cut his tongue with a knife, and the blood flowed and poured on the ground, and he put half of his tongue on the plate and passed it on to everyone, and everyone was amazed. After a while, he put his tongue in his mouth, paused for a moment, and then stuck it out for people to see, and it was very good, exactly the same as before. The nineteenth type is the pot. Take off all the people's clothes and send them down into a pit full of scorpions and poisonous snakes, where they will be bitten by ten thousand insects. The twentieth is cooking, the twenty-first is the big unloading of eight pieces, which is similar to the crack of the car, and the last one is the red embroidered shoes. Burn people's feet with a red-hot soldering iron. ”

All the criminal laws were said by Yu Cihyuk, and everyone couldn't help but be a little stunned. Nowadays, everyone is thinking about one question. Are these punishments really meant to be applied to them?
