The nails on the coffin door are movable, and sometimes the executioner will pull the nails outward a little to make the inmate die more slowly.

As for things like the Jewish Sharp Stool and the Head Crusher, I really don't want to describe them too much, and when I look at these torture instruments, it seems that I see something that I really don't want to face, which is a twisted desire, the darkest side of human nature.

Even if it has been buried in the ground for so long, there is a very strong resentment on every torture instrument.

When that breath appeared, it was as if hundreds of unjust souls were screaming at me in my ears, making me tingle from my scalp to the soles of my feet.

Finally I couldn't stay any longer, so I hurried out of the chamber and sat on the edge of the hole we had dug and gasped for air.

Liu Shangang walked up, patted me on the shoulder and asked me, "Brother Dao, are you okay?" ”

I smiled helplessly: "I've been nervous since this morning, and when I saw those torture tools, I really couldn't hold it back." ”

Liang Houzai also came over at this time, he picked up a kettle from the edge of the pit and gave it to me, I unscrewed the lid of the kettle and drank a small sip, the water with a cool breath soaked into my internal organs along my throat, making me feel a lot more comfortable.

After a while, Senior Brother Bao also came up, and when he came, he still had a very strangely shaped knife in his hand.

The shape of the knife is a bit similar to the kitchen knives we usually use, but the handle is long and the blade is short, and the whole blade looks the size of the palm of a five or six-year-old child's hand, and the blade is convex, forming a curved arc.

In addition, there seem to be some patterns on the blade, but it is difficult to make out the exact contents of these patterns because they are covered in rust.

This knife can't also be a torture tool, right?

I was curious, and I couldn't help but ask Senior Brother Bao, "What is this knife for?" ”

Senior Brother Bao was frowning at this time, and when he heard me ask, his brows furrowed even tighter: "It can't be regarded as a torture instrument." It's a gelding...... It's the kind of razor that turns a man into a eunuch. Look here. ”

As he spoke, Senior Brother Bao sent the knife in front of me, and pointed to the handle of the knife with his finger, and I saw the words "Thirteen Yamen" engraved on the handle.

I was wondering what the Thirteen Yamen were, so Senior Brother Bao explained to me: "The Thirteen Yamen is the inner court of the Qing Dynasty, and this gelding seems to flow out of the Forbidden City." ”

A Qing court eunuch was mixed into a pile of European torture instruments, which made people feel strange no matter how they thought about it.

Senior Brother Bao carefully wrapped the gelding, and then waved at Zhang Da and shouted, "Dafa, take a few people to get some food and come back, and the others will rest in place for an hour." ”

It's really time to take a break, from day to night, we hardly stop, no matter how good our physical strength is, we can't resist it.

Senior Brother Bao took the kettle from my hand, sat beside me again, looked at the torture room not far away, and said, "There is a way, you say...... Did Mrs. Huang know that there was such a torture room buried under the floor of his house. ”

I shook my head: "This kind of thing is not good, and I can't understand why such a torture chamber full of ancient European torture tools would appear under Huangjiazhuang." ”

The expression on Senior Brother Bao's face was also as puzzled as mine: "Who can say these things clearly, maybe in addition to listening to the Heavenly Sect, there was also a group of foreigners who came to this place back then." At the end of the Qing Dynasty, it was not uncommon for Europeans to appear in the Northeast. ”

After that, none of us spoke, and it wasn't until Zhang Dafa and they brought food that we hastily ate something and then continued digging.

Digging twenty meters down from the courtyard of God's house, it should be the location of the blood pool, we are not sure what is in the blood pool, so we don't dare to dig so deep directly, Senior Brother Bao estimated the specific location of the blood pool, and then he took us to dig a tunnel, bypassing the blood pool, and continued to dig down.

We went to great lengths to break ground at Old Lady Huang's house, and the ultimate goal was to find out where the blood came from.

The excavation lasted several days. At first, it was easier to excavate, but with a shovel, it was an ordinary layer of soil, but slowly, some broken stones and some rotten but still thick tree rhizomes began to appear in the soil, and the excavation work became very difficult.

We are not superhuman, after the first night passed, many people were a little unbearable, after that, Senior Brother Bao let everyone rest in batches.

Usually ten people go back to sleep, and the rest continue to dig, only Senior Brother Bao has been guarding the excavation site, but by the next day, he rarely used the shovel himself.

I remember that on the afternoon of the third day, I was resting in the back of the ancestral hall covered in mud, when Senior Brother Bao suddenly dialed my walkie-talkie.

Brother Bao said that they had dug up something terrible and asked me to go over and take a look, and after saying that, they terminated the correspondence.

I barely supported my still somewhat tired body and sat up from the bed, and at this time, Liu Shangang and Liang Houzai, who came back to rest with me, also woke up, and I saw that the two of them also looked like they hadn't slept enough.

"Don't sleep, let's go." I stood up on the edge of the bed and slapped Liu Shangang's back gently.

Liu Shangang looked at his watch, and muttered "I didn't sleep enough" and "I only slept for an hour" Yunyun reluctantly.

And Liang Houzai had already come to me at this time, and he raised his chin towards the door of the back bed, and said to me, "Look. ”

I saw Daochang Li leaning against the door frame, tilting his head, as if he was taking a nap.

I made a silent gesture to Liang Houzai and Liu Shangang, and then walked lightly to the door and crossed the threshold.

Just as my front foot stepped on the ground on the other side of the threshold, Li Daochang suddenly spoke: "What are you going to do?" ”

I was taken aback by him.

He straightened up and said, "You three, you're only going to leave in an hour?" Did you dig up something over there? ”

When we were digging in the courtyard of Old Lady Huang before, Li Daochang wanted to go over to have a look, but Zhang Dafa refused Li Daochang on the grounds that he was injured and his activities were inconvenient. The last time I came back to rest, Daochang Li kept muttering in my ear and asking if we had dug up anything, and I couldn't sleep because of his noise, so I told him perfunctorily that I hadn't dug up anything yet.

At that time, Li Daochang said that when he dug up something, he must let him see it, and said that he was more experienced than us and could help. At that time, I just wanted to quickly let Li Daochang calm down, so I casually agreed.

Even if I agreed, to be honest, I didn't trust Daochang Li, and I didn't really plan to take him with me.

At this time, Li Daochang asked me again: "What you said last time, does it still count?" ”

I had a sloppy fight with him: "Daochang Li, you see that your body is not convenient, don't go, I promise, when I come back, I will tell you everything over there." ”

Li Daochang said in a strange manner: "Heh, when you say that, you plan to break your promise." Does a person who keeps the right line speak or not? This kind of thing is really the first time in hundreds of years, a good apprentice of the corpse Dao religion. ”

I thought that even if he really wanted to go, he would bargain with me to some extent, but I didn't expect him to react like this, this remark was so mean that even my master scolded me around the corner, which made me very difficult to accept for a while.

I just thought, no matter how Daochang Li said it, he is also a profound person, why does he say this like a middle-aged resentful woman.

But Daochang Li is an elder after all, I thought so in my heart, but I said: "I didn't mean that, Daochang Li, I'm just worried about your body, if you really want to go, can I still take you with me?" ”

In fact, when I think about it now, I think it's funny, I was only fifteen years old that year, and I have changed the uprightness I had when I was a child, and I have learned to be false and wrong. Speaking of which, though, this shouldn't be a bad thing, after all, such social skills are occasionally useful when moving around society.

Hearing me say this, Daochang Li's face also improved a lot, but he still insisted on going.

In the end, I was also helpless by him, so I had to carry him to the excavation site with me.

When I came to the excavation site, Brother Bao squatted next to the pit and smoked, and this was the first time I saw him light a cigarette from his mouth.

Senior Brother Bao didn't seem to smoke often, and the smoke of that cigarette was still a little too strong for him, so he saw that he was spitting smoke and coughing incessantly.

When I came to him, he was staring at a tunnel we had dug earlier.

When I put Li Daochang down, Li Daochang patted me on the back of the head of Senior Brother Bao: "What are you in a daze, did you dig up something?" ”

Senior Brother Bao touched his head, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, he looked up at me, then at Li Daochang, and was stunned for a while before he said to me: "The source of blood is probably in the evil tomb in the back mountain." ”

I was a little puzzled: "What do you mean?" ”

Brother Bao stood up, patted the dirt on his body, and said to me, "Come with me." He climbed down the pit.

Liang Houzai and I also helped Li Daochang to walk slowly towards the pit, and Li Daochang saw the torture room not far from us at a glance and asked me, "Where did the torture room come from?" ”

At that time, Li Daochang did not enter the torture room, let alone see a large number of torture instruments placed in it, I felt strange in my heart, so I asked him tentatively: "How does Li Daochang know that it is a torture room?" ”

Li Daochang said: "Such a heavy grievance, coupled with the smell of rust and blood, isn't it a torture room?" ”

After finishing speaking, Li Daochang asked me again: "Why do I feel from just now that there is always a faint anger under my feet, is there anyone down there?" ”

I shook my head: "Nobody, there is a pool of blood under our feet, and there seems to be a breath of anger under the floor in the center of the pool, and I don't know where that anger came from." ”
