Chapter 969: Burial Pool
"Okay, then I'll try..."
Hearing Zhou You's words, Duoyang closed his eyes, gathered his senses, and began to sense the breath on the other side of the stone bridge.
Soon, Duo Yang sensed that there was an extremely strong yin and evil aura, which was permeated in that temple-like hall, which made people's hearts tremble...
So Duoyang said to him: "Over there, the evil aura is very strong..."
'Hmm, how thick is it?' Zhou You asked Duoyang again.
"I, I can't tell, anyway... It's thick, it's thick... It's so rich that it can't be dissolved..."
Duoyang said in a trembling voice. To be honest, since she became a tribute master, she has never sensed such a strong yin and evil aura.
"Oh... It seems that there is something very unusual in that temple!"
Zhou You's face showed a solemn expression, he thought for a moment, and then said to Duoyang: "Why don't we go over and have a look." ”
"But traveling, over there... The aura of evil is too strong, in case if... If something very powerful appears, then it's a big trouble!" Duo Yang hurriedly reminded him in a low voice.
"Now that we're in, and now there's no way out, we don't have a choice, so let's see the move. ”
Zhou You, the first to step out of the platform, towards the white marble bridge in front of him.
Seeing Zhou You like this, Duoyang also hesitated, and could only continue to follow them...
The two walked across the white jade bridge, and walked along the stone corridor towards the inside of the hall.
Although the temple was beautifully built, it felt very eerie.
After walking for about a few minutes, Zhou You and Duoyang saw two strange large pools on both sides of the stone corridor in front of them.
The two large pools are rectangular, the area is quite large, at least a few acres, and the stone corridor passage passes through the middle of the two large pools.
When Duoyang approached the two large pools along the passage of the stone corridor, he was so frightened by what he saw that his face turned pale.
Because, in both pools, there are dead people!
Dead people who die in all sorts of poses!
However, all dead people have one thing in common: they have no skin on their bodies, as if they have been forcibly stripped off!
And among these dead people who have been stripped of their skins are not only men, women, adults, old people, and even children!
Who is so cruel to skin so many people, including children, to death that exterminate their humanity?
Seriously, seeing this scene, Duoyang's face turned pale with shock, because this kind of scene is too bloody and shocking.
Although Zhou You was very shocked, his expression was at least able to remain normal.
Duo Yang was stunned for a while, and then said in a trembling voice: "Oh my God, who are the dead people here?"
"This is the skinning pool, which was a cruel punishment in ancient times!"
Zhou You said, and said: "The dead people inside are all slaves or convicts, and before they were alive, they were forced to dig a hole in the door of their heads, and then poured mercury into it, so that the human skin could be completely peeled off!"
"Huh, why is it so cruel?"
Duoyang muttered: "Many of those dead people are children, they are so young, they should not understand anything, why do they still carry out such capital punishment?"
But in ancient times of the Han people, especially in the pre-Qin period, the punishment was very cruel, and there was a crime called "lianza", which often happened by one person, and the others suffered!
Not to mention the family, even the neighbors are unlucky, this flaying is just one of them! There are even other more cruel tortures. Zhou You said.
"Alas, these people died so pitifully..."
Duoyang sighed, and she suddenly thought of a question: "It's really strange, so many dead people are here, at least thousands of years ago, right? Why didn't the corpses decompose?"
"I don't know yet, according to common sense, these dead people, after such a long time, should indeed be turned into skeletons. ”
Zhou You muttered for a moment, and then said: "This question, you have to go down in person and study those dead people carefully before you can have an answer." ”
As he spoke, he looked for the steps and walked towards the peeling pool below.
Duoyang hesitated for a moment, but also cautiously followed behind Zhou You and walked down.
When he got to the bottom, Zhou You quickly walked up to the skinning pool, trying to get a closer look at the dead people.
But at this moment, a strange scene appeared...
"Huh... Whew... Phew..."
The dead man in the skinning pool suddenly "melted" like a candle encountering high temperature, and the shriveled corpse quickly withered, contracted, and even the bones melted away, and finally turned into a pile of powder!
"Ahh
And Duoyang, who followed him, couldn't help but be stunned when he saw such a shocking scene, this change was really weird.
"It's a strange situation... I don't know if that's the case over there. ”
Zhou You thought about it for a while, and walked towards another peeling pool.
As soon as he approached the peeling pavilion, sure enough, the same situation happened again, when Su Fan approached the dead people in the pool, in a very short time, all those dead people "melted" and turned into a pile of powder.
"Rub, what's going on?" exclaimed.
"I think... This may be due to the fact that we are living beings, our bodies are breathing, we are alive, and when we approach these dead bodies, we have a special reaction with them, which can lead to this situation. ”
Zhou You suddenly blurted out like this.
Because in the mind of Zhou You, he was in the "Cave Heaven Blessed Land" on the island, and when he met the ancient immortal, he was also "feathered" in this way.
"Hmm! There's some truth to what you're saying. ”
Duo Yang nodded, and then wondered: "But if that's the case, what kind of person is it, what does it mean to design two peeling pools of this scale in the deep mountains and abysses of the Miao District?"
"Maybe it's a burial! I remember that in ancient times, there were often such things in the tombs of many emperors!"
Zhou lobbied. He muttered again: "But funerals are often seen by our Han people, right?"
"In fact, ethnic minorities have a custom of burial! It's just that they haven't been discovered on a large scale. ”
Duoyang said this, and asked Zhou You, "What should we do now?"
Zhou You raised his eyes and looked at the end of the temple, and then said: "There is weirdness everywhere here, let's take a look again!"
As he spoke, Zhou You took the lead in walking forward.
So, Doyang followed him and continued to push forward along the skinning pool full of dead people...
