At noon on the second day, with the sound of rattling, the door of the black room was opened, and the sunlight outside instantly leaked into the room, and the irritated people could not open their eyes.

Qin Chong and Liu Zhen'er and I all escaped and got up from the stone slab, and Gu Landuo and they came with ransom! We are free!

At that moment, there was nothing left in my head, only freedom! Freedom like a seabird in the sky! As free as we gallop on the long road of commerce!

We, who have never experienced the pain of being imprisoned, are willing to exchange everything we have in the world for our original freedom.

Nothing seemed to have changed, and a group of Roman soldiers burst into the house and dragged us out of the dark room.

In the square near the beach, there was a row of "cross-shaped" execution racks, to which we were tied like the corpses of five horses.

With a sharp pain like a soul-eating bone, two thick spikes had passed through my palms and joined the planks of the execution rack.

When did I, who had been clothed and fed since I was a child, endure such suffering, I howled like a wolf.

It's a pity that it shouldn't be called every day, and it shouldn't be called the earth!

The miserable cries of Qin Chong and Liu Zhen'er were enough to make the sun and moon dull and the rivers and lakes discolored.

Unexpectedly, in one day, we became fish and meat to be slaughtered, even if we had the courage of ten thousand people, now we can only wag our tails and beg for mercy.

When Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin, was deceived into Changle Palace by the same party of the Lu family and killed as minced meat, it is estimated that this is also the tragic situation.

The immortal hero died at the hands of the erector so down, sadly!

"Help!" "My lord spares my life! ”

The instinct to survive, and the sound of begging for mercy like this also erupted from the mouths of the three of us.

The surrounding Roman sergeants in charge of executions were expressionless, bloodthirsty demons generally indifferent to our pleas.

Changge flickered in the scorching sun, and the seabirds screamed helplessly in the sky overhead.

If I had a choice, I would rather stay in that warm and peaceful home on the shore of the distant breeze for the rest of my life, and never set foot in the rivers and lakes again.

The sharp pain in his hands had passed, the blood was still dripping, and his arms had lost any intuition.

At this moment, Hesrul and the general Antonio walked one after the other from the stone castle in front of them.

The general walked like a flight, and the old Ruhr stumbled behind, followed by several of the ironclad Changge's own soldiers on each side.

Old Ruhl's eyes were red, and he no longer had the proud aura of yesterday, and after seeing the three of us in such a tragic situation, the author of this tragedy showed a deep sense of repentance.

The Roman general spoke at length in front of us in a rage, and then the elder Ruhr stepped forward to translate.

"The general said that there is no forgiveness for foreign spies! God has mercy on you and gives you three more days! If the ransom is not delivered after three days, the three of you will be sold into slavery and will be forced to do a lifetime of hard labor on an island far from the mainland to make up for your sins! ”

Old Ruer didn't dare to look at me directly, and always looked at Qin Chong and Liu Zhen'er when translating.

"Ruhl, you know, young master, we are merchants from the East, not some foreign spies. For God's sake, help us to say a few kind words in front of this general! Please, Brother Ruhr! ”

Qin Chong no longer had the slightest heroism, and squeezed out a humble wry smile to say to Old Luer.

"Brother Ruhr, spare your life! The young master has promised to hand over all the money! "Brother Liu Zhen'er, who has insufficient inner cultivation, has been a little angry after such a toss.

"Ruhl, what about Doer? And Shamihan! Langton! What did you do to them old Ruhr! ”

The Gulando, which had been promised, did not show up alone, and an ominous cold air rushed from the soles of my feet to the heavenly spirits, and I shouted like crazy.

A Roman soldier stepped forward and strangled me by the throat with the iron edge of his armor, and with the sound of cartilage breaking, I entered the illusion of wandering on the edge of hell.

"Young master, young lady, they are gone, and the ransom is gone, otherwise you will not suffer such flesh and skin!"

Old Ruhl's voice was like a bull's head and horse face that had come to summon spirits, and it took away all my hope, and I fainted at once.

Like the crucifixion of Christ Jesus, the three of us hung on the execution stake for three days.

Suffering from the scorching sun during the day, and being pecked by mosquitoes and flies at night, it is often said in the world that life is worse than death, which is such a realm.

Qin Chong and I can also use meditation techniques to get rid of this world and return to bliss, and use the illusion of nothingness to offset suffering.

Poor Liu Zhen'er brother was miserable, and the unbearable pain made him howl day and night.

From high to low and then from low to high, first begging for mercy slowly turned into begging for death.

"Kill me! Old Ruhl, please, tell the adults, kill me! ”

Every morning and evening, soldiers would come forward and pour a bowl of rotten wheat soup into our mouths to prolong our lives.

Every morning, Mistress Antonio would come up for an interrogation, and as usual it would be a meal of untold suffering, flesh sandwiching, burning, and group beatings.

The question is also where our gold coins are hidden, and where the Qulandos have gone.

We can swear to the Buddha that if we had known the answers to these questions, we would have given them all without reservation.

When the catastrophe is coming, how many people in the world can really be mighty and unyielding!

The three-day agreed period had passed, and the three brothers Qin Chong and Liu Zhen'er and I were removed from the cross.

Fortunately, the wound on the palm of the hand did not hurt the muscles and bones, and Qin Chong and I used meditation and ideation techniques to protect our bodies, so the two of us were generally fine except for weakness.

But after suffering from the pot helmet brothers, after three days and three nights of torment, they have become the appearance of the living dead.

Qin Chong and I ignored the trauma and pain all over our bodies, and gave Liu Zhen'er a massage all over our body, so that the bones and blood in his body could be smoothed as soon as possible.

When the Roman sergeant brought me the porridge with wheat soup, I didn't eat a bite, and gave it all to Liu Zhen'er.

All of this was caused by me, and a few brothers accompanied me to this earthly castle to endure such great tribulations.

What is even more reassuring is that on the afternoon of the third day, Hesrul, who betrayed us for glory and betrayed us, was escorted over by several Roman soldiers.

On the execution rack where I had just come down, old Ruhl's shriveled palms were pierced by spikes, and blood spurted out.

He deserved the punishment for not finding the Qurandots, for not getting the skin containing ten thousand Roman gold coins, and for not fulfilling his promise to General Antonio.

It's really a sin made by heaven, especially if you violate your own sins, you can't live!

Old Ruhl's cry of despair seemed to me to be the most beautiful music in the world.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the traitors seeking glory are the most despicable in the world.

Today, in the land of Rome, from the generals and lords to the ordinary barbarians and soldiers, all are Christians.

While in Antioch, I heard the cardinal preach on the Passion of Christ in the seminary dojo.

From the sporadic translations of the Qulando, I know that the Holy One Jesus had a disciple named "Judas" who was greedy for money and unrighteous and finally caused the misfortune of his teacher.

And "Judas", who also sold his teachers for glory, was the common enemy of all Roman Christians.

So in the eyes of these Romans, Hesrul was the money-hungry "Judas", and they were just taking advantage of him.

If we can get our gold as promised, this not a good general Antonio may be able to spare the old Ruhr.

As a result, Gulanduo and they were nowhere to be found, and the general didn't catch half of the copper, so he naturally vented all his grievances on old Ruhr.

For the three of us, it was much more tolerant.

From the fourth day onwards, apart from being shackled and not being allowed to come and go in the small dark room, we did not receive any other corporal punishment, and our three meals were much better than before.

In addition to a pot of wheat porridge, each meal will also add a piece of salty fish.

At the age of vigorous yang energy, the diet and nourishment kept up a little, and the bodies of the three of us recovered.

Every day in the dark room, I either sleep soundly to recuperate my spirit, or I exchange and practice leg and foot kung fu.

On the coast of Rome, thousands of miles away from home, it was impossible to count on the Gulando's troops to come to their rescue, so they could only try to protect themselves and find an opportunity to escape from the prison.

Five days later, at a gray dawn, we were pulled out of the dark room by the Roman soldiers and escorted to a ship anchored on the shore of the castle.

There were also more than a hundred prisoners of all colors in the cabin, stripped naked and shackled in their hands and ankles, just like us.

It seems that the previous Roman general was telling us that we had been sold into slavery.

This ship must be going to a certain city-state of the Roman Empire, and we will be the people and animals of this city-state waiting to be sold in the market.

"Young master, old Ruhl is dead!"

Qin Chong didn't seem to care much about the current miserable situation, and the fresh air flow on the sea also made people feel strong.

Liu Zhen'er and I looked back to the shore, but saw Hesrul's pale head crooked on the execution rack, dried out and generally lost his popularity.

A heart-wrenching sorrow struck me, and the seven of us had traveled all the way from the far east to the mountains and rivers, sharing joys and sorrows, and being intimate.

Ten days ago, he was still free on the rivers and lakes, and his merry and happy life was comparable to that of a prince, and his wealth was more abundant than that of Dajia.

Now they are scattered, without a piece of veil, and they are slaves to ghosts, sad!

This must have fallen under Satan's spell!
