I continued: "The punishment of skinning is not concerned with the process, but with the deterrence of the people by skinning them and hanging them on the city walls. So as long as it is a human skin for public display, it will be peeled off and subjected to a special treatment, which will not make the human skin rot, and you see, this human skin has not undergone special treatment. ”

Lao Yu retorted coldly: "What if it hasn't been treated specially? When the two armies were launched, didn't they just skin people and hang them up? ”

I really couldn't stand Lao Yu a little, so I looked at him coldly and said, "Is the method of punishment of the Crime Rock the same as that of an ordinary marching army?" If you don't understand someone, keep your mouth shut. ”

Old man Liu also looked at Lao Yu with some annoyance: "Old Yu, you better be quiet for a while and listen to Brother Zhengxin's words, maybe it is not as first as we imagined." ”

With Old Man Liu's support, I also had the confidence to continue: "I found that what is even more strange here is that the skinning and punishment of crimes are used to punish criminals, if this is really the punishment rock, the execution of the torture should be like what we saw at sea before, instead of killing people secretly, which is not in line with the characteristics of the execution." ”

I turned my head to look at Xu Xiaoyao and asked, "You know better than we do anything about the venom of the Ten Thousand Snakes, who brought it into the Central Plains?" ”

Xu Xiaoyao said: "It was brought into the Central Plains by the Dongying people, that is, the current Sakura people. ”

"That's right." I continued: "The venom of the ten thousand snakes was brought in by the people of Toying, and this kind of thing is usually used by the ninjas of the east when they assassinate people, they will leave when they kill someone, and they will not put the human skin on the reef after the venom of the ten thousand snakes attack, unless they want to borrow the human skin to scare us. ”

Bai Wuchang couldn't help but ask, "Scare us?" It's the ninja who kills, not the torturer? ”

"That's right!" I stretched out my hand and pointed in the direction of the reef and said, "Although that place is small, it is enough for a Toei ninja to hide inside, and I am more inclined to the idea I just had just now, that the ninja had already been hiding in it and killing them while people were not paying attention, creating the illusion of murder, just to make us think that this is still the Punishment Rock." ”

Bai Wuchang glanced at Old Man Liu: "There will be ninjas here?" Or are there ninjas mixed in with our people? ”

I looked at Old Man Liu and said, "Old Man Liu said before that Liu Jinghuai was a diplomat before, and he will definitely come into contact with Dongying's envoy, he hid the secret treasure here, and I am afraid that some ninjas were also left to guard the secret treasure at that time." ”

I didn't make it clear, I think Old Man Liu should also understand what I mean.

Those ninjas weren't humans, they were ghosts.

Old man Liu was silent for a long time and nodded and said, "What you said does make some sense. But I think it's better for us to be prepared, firstly, to block the ninjas, and secondly, to prevent the appearance of the torturers. ”

Bai Wuchang shouted loudly at this time: "The disciples of the Ghost Sect listen to the order and be on guard in all aspects. Mr. Liu, I have something I want to talk to you about individually. ”

"Okay." Old Man Liu nodded, and walked with Bai Wuchang to another place, while the bosses of several other sects also followed. Bai Wuchang just ignored me, and I didn't want to go with them, so I just took Xiao Cheng to the other side.

I'm nothing, but Xiao Cheng is angry: "What are these people?" Is this for us? They just threw us here, and if something happens again, they will definitely be the first to find us. ”

I smiled indifferently and said, "Even if something really happens, they should think of a solution." The Dongying ninja only needs to be careful and guarded, and the torturer has to fill it with human life when he appears. In the records, as long as the criminal is lured out by using the criminal person as bait to lure him out in the place where the torturer appears, and then besieges and kills him, otherwise the torturer will not be caught at all. ”

Just as I was chatting with Xiao Cheng, I heard Lao Yu's harsh voice coming from there: "This is not good, I can't agree to this kind of thing." ”

I was attracted by their voices, and when I looked over, I saw Bai Wuchang staring at Lao Yu with a cold face: "No one here has committed a capital crime except you, and no one can attract torturers except you." ”

"You're fucking farting!" Lao Yu, who has always been timid, actually opened his mouth to confront Bai Impermanence, "Your ghost people are innocent?" Didn't you still want to kill Zhengxin just now? Are your hands cleaner than mine? Why should we be punished? ”

Bai Wuchang smiled with a cold smile in his eyes: "Even if our hands are stained with human life, it is cleaner than your hands, if you don't want to go, then let him lead it." ”

Bai Wuchang's hand pointed at Lao Yu's nephew, and Lao Yu's body trembled slightly. Bai Wuchang was very interested in seeing how Lao Yu decided: "How about it, do you go, or let him go?" ”

Lao Yu's nephew has always been a violent temper, and his anger suddenly came up, "I'll fight with you!" ”

"Go back!" Lao Yu's voice changed and shouted: "Bring him back to Lao Tzu!" Do you still want to fight with others with this little effort? It's not enough to embarrass Lao Tzu! ”

Lao Yu's nephew saw that Lao Yu was angry, and he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only follow the others back, but Bai Wuchang gave his subordinates a look, blocking their way, "Take the two of them to rest." ”

Bai Wuchang was clearly to detain those two people as hostages to tie up Lao Yu, but Lao Yu had nothing to do at this moment and asked: "I have promised you to attract the torturers, what do you want me to do?" ”

Bai Wuchang smiled: "It's just for the safety of the two of them, after all, there is no place to be guarded by ghosts, isn't it?" ”

"Thank you, Venerable Bai." Lao Yu swallowed his saliva and thanked Bai Wuchang, and then walked to his nephew's side, not knowing what he was whispering. But I look at Lao Yu like that, as if he is explaining the aftermath to his nephew, and that sad look makes people can't bear to look at it directly.

Speaking of blood on his hands, everyone's hands here are not clean, and it is not just older than one person, but among these people, only Lao Yu is the easiest to bully, and this will be pushed to the forefront, and even Old Man Liu has no intention of helping him.

Xiao Cheng also looked at Lao Yu and said, "He cares about his nephew, and he can even give up his life for him." ”

Tomb robbers are most shy away from fathers with their sons, and the most common is uncles with nephews.

In ancient times, tomb robbers were caught and executed, and generally fathers would not bring their sons to the tomb, and if they were caught, the family's incense would be cut off on it, and it was unreliable to bring outsiders. Tomb robbers generally go down to the tomb will only hit a very small tomb hole to facilitate drilling, but can only accommodate one person, one after the other into the tomb, if you bring outsiders, if outsiders see the wealth, then really die do not know how to die, so the uncle with the nephew, is the most reliable.

With the old man's character of being greedy for life and afraid of death, if it weren't for the fact that person was his nephew, I'm afraid he wouldn't have stood up anyway.

But what I didn't expect was that after Lao Yu finished talking to his nephew, he actually walked over to me, his eyes were red. Before I could react, he knelt down in front of me with a puff: "Brother Zhengxin, I said those words because I was afraid of death, I was not good, don't hate me." ”

I took a few steps back and said, "Just say what you have, don't kneel here, let others see what it looks like." ”

I couldn't understand Lao Yu's behavior, but he still knelt down for me at such an old age, how could I stand it, I quickly pulled him up from the ground.

Lao Yu said with red eyes and some embarrassment: "Brother Zhengxin, I know that you are much stronger than all of them, and you have a good heart, you are the only one who is willing to help me here." ”

Xu was afraid that I would misunderstand something, so he said: "Brother Zhengxin, I don't want you to go for me, but I want you to help me take a look at my nephew at a critical time, he is the only seedling in my family, if he dies here, the family will be broken." I beg you, even if I die, I can't let him die here. ”

I understand what Lao Yu said, if we use Lao Yu to attract the torturer, in case Lao Yu dies and the torturer is not caught, Bai Wuchang will definitely point the finger at Lao Yu's nephew, he wants to entrust his nephew to me?

I can't help but feel a little embarrassed, fundamentally speaking, this matter has nothing to do with me, and I don't need to meddle. What's more, my relationship with Lao Yu was not very good from the beginning, and there was no reason to help him.

Lao Yu saw that I didn't speak, so he cried directly: "Brother Zhengxin, you have the Shenzhu to protect your body, and Mr. Liu to protect you, no one can help me except you, as long as you want, I can give you all my net worth." ”

In the face of Lao Yu's crying, I did soften a little: "You just want me to protect your nephew?" But it's always Old Man Liu who speaks here, so you might as well look for him. ”

Lao Yu glanced at Old Man Liu, who was sitting down and resting in the distance, and said in a low voice: "Brother Zhengxin, as long as you are willing to help me, I can tell you something." ”

"What's the matter?"

Lao Yu took me and Xiao Cheng behind a reef, and quietly took out a map from his arms: "This is a hidden map, which contains countless treasures, and I am willing to hand this over to you." ”

Xiao Chengcheng just glanced at the map, and suddenly became angry, "Are you stupid to me?" This is clearly a fake map, and you still want to fool us? ”

If it were me, I would definitely not be able to tell that this map was fake, but Xiao Cheng was a perennial antique dealer, not to mention that he had done these things before, and he could see at a glance that the map was fake.
