Chapter 323: Torture

Apzongshen suddenly uttered a stiff sentence in Chinese, which surprised me. I always thought that this was a more kind person, without too many eyes, but now I understand that Apu Zongshen is very hidden, and when communicating with us, he relies on Changshou to translate in the middle, he can speak Chinese, and he must understand Chinese.

"You?" I squatted in front of Apzongshen and was stunned.

Apzonshin looked still asleep with his eyes closed, but I could hear him make a mosquito-like humming sound. He told me not to move and not to attract attention. When he speaks Chinese, his accent is not only stiff, but also very strange, and he can't make out where the accent is.

It seems that Ap Zongshen had learned Chinese a long time ago, and although he was not fluent in speaking, I could hear the general meaning of what he was trying to say.

"You know Chinese, why do you keep pretending you don't understand?" I was secretly surprised in my heart, originally through a long conversation, I had already reassured Apu Zongshen, and felt that he was just a person who guarded the holy well, and would not be unfavorable to innocent people for no reason, but as soon as Apu Zongshen revealed that he knew Chinese, I would definitely doubt and doubt his intentions and motives.

"I don't want to be noticed."

"Don't want you to notice you? Is that possible? The camp is only so big that everyone can see you. ”

"Seeing is seeing, and there is a lot that cannot be seen."

"You?" I suddenly realized that the reason why Apzongshen was hiding and pretending not to understand Chinese was as if he was guarding against someone, or someone: "Who are you guarding against?" ”

"Beware of two people." Apzongshen still closed his eyes, and even let out a slight snoring sound. But at the same time as the snoring drifted out, his voice seemed to be pervasive, and every word clearly fell into my ear: "The first one is the one who woke me up." ”

We don't know who woke up Apzonshin, not even himself. However, there is one thing that Ap Zongshen knows very well that the person who can wake him up from a long slumber is definitely not an ordinary person. That person was not only familiar with some of the ancient Zhangxiong's secret techniques, but also familiar with the terrain here.

I don't know what the intention of the person who woke up Ap Zongshen is, if it is to divert the tiger from the mountain, I think, there should be no need for this. If the person who woke him up was just to find the holy well, or to investigate the holy well, and he could quietly start while Ap Zongshen was sleeping, it would be impossible to wake up Ap Zongshen and then find a way to get Ap Zongshen to leave the holy well.

In this way, the motives of the person who awakened Apzongshen became confusing. I carefully pondered all the details before and after Apzongshen appeared, and after smoothing out these details and time, I suddenly felt a numb in my head.

When Apzonshin appeared, Changshou and I were looking for clues that the patient might have left behind, and every day they returned to the camp early. The team that is equal to Tiantian, including Tiantian himself, has all met with Apu Zongshen.

Kill with a knife!

I figured out this question at once, and the people who woke up Apu Zongshen were just to let Apu Zongshen kill all the people in the team. It's just that this person didn't expect that Apu Zongshen was not a butcher who killed innocents indiscriminately, and even if he was tasked with guarding the holy well, Apu Zongshen did not kill all the strangers who set foot in Renang.

I pondered that if that person could awaken Ap Zongshen, there would be a way to deal with the people in the Tiantian team. Every day, the team is in the light, and that person is in the dark, as long as he is patient, that person can probably solve all the people in the team.

Since there are more things I can do, I think about it, I feel that the person who killed people by the hand of Apzongshen was only because he didn't want to, or he couldn't show his face.

Moreover, judging from the analysis of the time of this incident, that person obviously let me and Changshou Yima go, he calculated everything, and the timing was very appropriate, from waking up Apu Zongshen to Apu Zongshen coming to the camp, everything was just right. If according to this person's arrangement and plan, when Apzongshen killed people in the camp, Changshou and I had not returned, it was equivalent to his plan, and he did not want me and Changshou's life.

Again, this person has made a lot of calculations, and he ignores the most important point, Apu Zongshen will not kill innocents indiscriminately.

Who could that person be? Who the hell is it?

I am very taboo about this person, and Ap Zongshen must also be taboo about the other party, but he knows very well that that person is hidden in the shadows and will not show his face, even if he goes to find it, it is impossible to find it.

In this way, I have a new understanding of Apu Zongshen, and it is not without reason that Dajue entrusted him with the task of guarding the holy well, and Apu Zongshen is definitely not like his appearance, fat head and big ears, simple mind, he has a more careful thinking.

"The person who wakes you up will definitely not want to show his face, and if he doesn't show up, we won't have anything to do."

"Yes, there is no way." Apzongshen closed his eyes and said, "Wait, you can only wait." ”

"Who's the other person you're guarding against?"

"The woman." Apzonshen immediately replied, "The woman who is looking for Kubrudanza. ”

"What are you doing to guard against her?" I didn't expect that Apu Zongshen would be on guard against Tiantian, and immediately fainted: "What's wrong with her?" ”

"She's complicated, and this time, it's not the first time I've seen her." Apzongshen's small eyes opened a little, and there was an undoubted affirmation in his eyes: "That woman is already dead." ”

"She's already dead? What do you mean? Apzongshen's words made my brain also short-circuit, and I couldn't even prioritize my words: "Where have you seen her?" When have you seen her? ”

"In Dapeng Silver City, many, many years ago, she had died in Dapeng Silver City. She was put to death, a cruel punishment. ”

At this moment, I couldn't tell whether what Apzongshen said was the truth or not. But did Apzonshin have a reason and a need to deceive me?

"Can you tell me? Why was she put to death? ”

What Ap Zongshen said was that he had been guarding the holy well a few years before Zhangzhung was about to disappear, but at that time, there were dozens of people under Ap Zongshen, and these dozens of people were assisting him in guarding the holy well. These people basically play the role of secret agents, walking back and forth around the holy well every day, as long as there is any wind and grass, they will be noticed.

With the help of these people, Apzonshen was not very busy at that time. On one occasion, his men who were outside to spy on the news told him that there was a woman who was going to be executed by a torture that had not been carried out for many years. This kind of torture has been practiced since ancient times, when the prisoner was buried by huge stones, only his head was exposed, and the gap between the stones was poured with mud, and the prisoner could not break free. In such cases, the prisoners were denied water and food, and the prisoners ended up dying of thirst or starvation.

This kind of punishment may not seem particularly cruel compared to the torture of ancient times, but the Zhangxiong people believed that the soul of a person who was executed in this way would sink and wander forever in hell. This is the most unacceptable for a male.

Apzonshin said that this kind of punishment has not been seen for decades, and that it is only for the most heinous crimes. At that time, Zhangxiong was in turmoil, and the people were panicked, and it may be that the ruler of the ancient city used such a punishment in order to calm the people's hearts and prevent similar criminals from appearing again.

The place where the sentence was carried out was in the eastern part of the ancient city. It was a platform made of stones about two feet high, on which the tortured prisoners endured several days of torture and then died in agony.

The execution took several days, and the people of the ancient city would go to watch. Apzongshen also went at that time, he had previously served in the palace guard, so he was allowed to board the execution platform.

Apzonshin saw the tortured man, a woman, whose whole body had been buried with stones, and someone was pouring mud into the cracks of the stones. The woman's whole face was exposed, and Ap Zongshen could see it clearly.

This tortured woman left a deep impression on Apu Zongshen. Whether he was in the palace guards in the past or followed Dajue later, Ap Zongshen had seen too many people who were executed. Before everyone died, they were different, but this woman was surprisingly calm and indifferent.

She didn't seem to be afraid of death, even if it was a punishment that prevented people from being born after death. Her expression did not have any waves, let alone pleading, and she calmly faced everything she was facing now.

Apu Zongshen was moved, just because this woman is very rare, Apu Zongshen may have observed more carefully.

After looking at it for a while, Apu Zongshen finally found that this woman was not completely devoid of emotions, and there was a faint trace of regret and loss in her eyes. Apu Zongshen felt that this woman's regret and loss were not because she was going to die, but because there were other reasons.

It's just that Apzongshen can't talk to this woman, and the specific reason is unknown.

This woman had been on the execution table for thirteen days, and many people couldn't figure out how a person could live that long under that circumstance.

The only explanation is that this woman has a very heavy obsession in her heart, and she has an obsession that she can't let go. It's obsession that makes her live tenaciously for so long.

However, no one could change the outcome of death, and thirteen days later, the woman died, and Apzongshen was not present at the time, he listened to his men. On the day she died, it rained heavily.

Apu Zongshen was intermittent, and finally finished the whole thing, and I listened to it in a fog, but Apu Zongshen spoke so seriously, and my subconscious also told me that he did not make up lies to deceive me.

There is no doubt that the woman who was tortured and died in the ancient city that Apzongshen mentioned was Tiantian.
