Chapter 0092 - Cannon Branding, Potting

The figurines outside the tomb are quiet, and the sporadic candles lit on both sides are beating, and walking in it makes people unable to completely quiet down, and there is always an inexplicable panic in their hearts.

Walking carefully, the two of us also quickly walked through this secluded and lonely figurine road, and a wide stone field appeared in front of us. There are some thick stone pillars scattered on the stone floor, and the stone roof above supports it and cannot collapse.

The stone ground is very wide, the size of a football field, and there are more than 20 stone pillars that need to be surrounded by several people, I don't know what it is used for, but it is enough to prove that the tomb of Daji Niangniang is very different from the tombs of other emperors of previous dynasties.

Xing Ying was also frowning, thinking about why this design was like this, and which allusion did it match? After all, every place here has its own reasons and history.

What Xing Ying is thinking now, I can't control and have no right to pay attention to it, but the only thing I want to say at this time is that the temperature here is obviously much hotter than the figurines we walked all the way, and the further we go inside, the hotter it gets, which is very strange.

"I feel like I'm in the sauna," I said to Xing Ying next to me, taking off my coat and turning to Xing Ying beside me.

She gave me a disgusting look, with a look of disdain in her eyes, obviously she was thinking too much, even if I wanted to do that, I had to be in that mood.

I said again, "By the way, what is this place?" Why is it so hot? ”

She pursed her lips and pondered for a moment, and finally replied, "There are so many stone pillars here, and there are chains on them, if I guess correctly, it should be the place of cannon branding." ”

"Cannon branding?" I muttered suspiciously, I still know more about this term, it is a very famous torture in the history of our country, according to legend, it is a kind of torture product invented by Daji in the song of the court, and I don't know how many loyal ministers and righteous people have been harmed at that time.

Because I knew that these stone pillars were the cannon of the year, I was even more curious, and I stepped forward to take a closer look. However, the closer I got to these pillars, the more the temperature around them increased, which made me associate it with the heat that occurs here.

The pillars are no different from some of the ones I've seen on a regular basis, at least on the outside. When I was very surprised that these stone pillars were unusually hot, my hand was inadvertently stretched out, but the next moment the burning pain of the fire entered the nerves of my brain, causing me to subconsciously shrink back, crying out in pain.

Xing Ying on the side seemed to have guessed that it would be like this, and sneered for a while: "Next time, remember to be honest with your hands, not everything can be touched." ”

I didn't bother to pay attention to her, and just looked straight at the bottom of the stone pillar, but there was no fire under it. So I asked her, "Thousands of years have passed, why is this stone pillar still so hot?" ”

"All the weird things in it can't be measured by common sense, you won't forget it, right?" She said lightly.

I nodded, thinking that it was so reasonable, but just as I was about to cross this big stone pillar, and when I left this ghost place with Xing Ying, a pair of withered arms suddenly stretched out from the hot big stone pillar, and I didn't even react to be grabbed by the neck by it, vowing to pull me up to the big stone pillar to be burned, if this is really branded, I guess I can eat it with some peppers and green onions.

Fortunately, Xing Ying on the side reacted in a timely manner, and pulled me away, coupled with my resistance strength, it was dangerous not to put it up, but looking at the situation, it was still enough to choke, if you don't want to do something, it will be a matter of time before you are pulled by tricksters and pasted on the stone pillar.

"Quick... Hurry up and think of a way..."I tried hard not to stick to the stone pillar, and at the same time squeezed out a few words from between my teeth, which meant "Xing Ying, where are your usual abilities".

In the face of my urgent cry for help, Xing Ying did not disappoint me, probably because she still needs me for the follow-up road, in short, she is really hard this time. I saw her suddenly stretch out her foot and step on the stone pillar in front of me, temporarily resisting my leaning forward.

Then her free hand pulled out a turquoise hairpin from the hair on the top of her head, and stabbed it into the stone pillar coldly, only to hear a terrible howl, and the tricky hand that grabbed me by the collar softened and let me break free.

After solving the ghosts in the stone pillar, Xing Ying also quickly came to my side, checking for a while whether I was injured, and I was very moved by the meticulous care. Unfortunately, I know that the reason why she cares so much about me is not because of friendship or love, but because of mutual interest.

Thinking of this, I hurriedly waved my hand at her and said, "I'm fine, let's go quickly." ”

As my words fell, the two dozen or so stone pillars around me were all stretching out their withered tricks, waving wildly, as if they were trying to break free from the shackles in the stone pillars and run out. Some of them even pulled the entire surface of the stone pillar into a sticky candy, and the whole terrifying and terrifying mold was printed, and it was almost torn.

"Let's go," Xing Ying immediately stopped hesitating after witnessing all this in front of her, and took the lead in holding the blood-colored long whip and walking cautiously towards the front end of the stone ground.

I also didn't dare to stay longer, took out the peach wood ruler around my waist, and began to follow Xing Ying's figure, turning left and right for a while, dodging the ghost hands stretched out from several stone pillars, some of which are fortunate that the distance between each stone pillar is relatively far, and the two of us quickly finished walking this stone field.

However, sometimes people are unlucky to drink cold water, and they will stuff their teeth, and a large depression pit nearly 3 meters deep and more than 10 meters long blocks our way.

Originally, there was no big pit, but there were hundreds of poisonous snakes in the big pit in front of me, which was unbelievable and terrifying. If it hadn't happened in this tomb of Yin Shang Daji, I would have thought that someone deliberately raised snakes here, but unfortunately, I didn't even dare to think about it at this time.

"Pot..."

Xing Ying called out the origin of the big pit in front of her, but at this time, where did I need her to remind her, I guessed early on that this must be one of the tortures with the same name as the cannon branding, and it was also invented by Daji's demon girl.

Seeing that the treacherous objects in the more than 20 stone pillars behind him were about to break out of the pillars, and there were hundreds of poisonous snakes blocking the way in the basin in front of him, the two of us panicked for a while, and I didn't know what to do.

"Yishou, you should think of a way," Xing Ying looked at me anxiously, pinning his hopes on me. However, at this time, I was more anxious than her, and I had grabbed a handful of hair, how could I think of a good way to get out in such a short time.

I thought desperately, and at the same time, Xing Ying on the side was constantly urging, my clothes were almost not torn for her, and the feelings of this girl were also scared, but I couldn't pull my clothes anyway.

Just when I felt that my clothes were about to be pulled off by Xing Ying, I finally couldn't help but look back at her, I wanted to say that you dragged my clothes so that I could make up my mind to think of a way.

However, as soon as I turned around, I realized that Xing Ying was not wrong, and if it were me, I would have done the same to drag her clothes. Because when dozens of terrifying monsters with hideous faces that have been burned are swaying towards you step by step with drunken steps, I am afraid that anyone will be speechless, and can only react physically.

I gasped, knowing that I couldn't delay any longer, the longer it dragged on, the cheaper the life guarantee would be, and I could only fight for it when I thought of it.

The next moment, I jerked off my tattered shirt, and then I found a few fire folds in the pocket of my jacket and lit them for a while. When I told the panicked Xing Ying about her next thoughts, she was even more anxious, because the clothes on her body before were all soaked, even if she wanted to take them off at this time, it would be useless.

Just as I was about to jump off the basin with my burning clothes, I was stopped by Xing Ying, who snatched the burning clothes from my hand on the grounds that she was afraid of snakes since I was a child, and instead said to me, "You follow me." ”

I'm speechless, isn't this nonsense, if she's afraid of snakes, I'm not afraid of snakes. Due to the urgency of the situation, I didn't bother to bother with her, so I took off the last underwear that was close to me again, and after falling into a relatively sturdy small body, I went to borrow the fire.

After each of us had a piece of flaming clothes in our hands, we both jumped out of the basin in front of us with a loud shout. Since snakes are cold-blooded animals and are very afraid of fire, the two of us came with fire and naturally frightened them far away.

At the beginning of the fire, the snake in the basin naturally hid far away, but once the flame was about to be extinguished, I am afraid that the poisonous snake inside would swarm up and annihilate the two of us.

The two of us soon came to the pit opposite, and looking at the fire that was about to be extinguished in our hands and the pit wall that was more than two meters high, the two of us began to clash, which is why I had been reluctant to use this method as my first choice.

At this time, Xing Ying asked herself to go up first, and then pull me; And my reason is that she sent me up first, and I was so strong on top that I pulled her up. The two of us couldn't hold on, and my clothes were burning little by little, but I finally succumbed.

After reaching an agreement, I soon put my hands together and made a lifting posture, Xing Ying saw that I was ready and immediately stopped hesitating, and stepped on my hand, and I then lifted her up, thanks to her good skills, otherwise ordinary people would have to work hard to climb up.

The distance of nearly three meters is not too high, but it is enough to choke, Xing Ying's outstretched hand can't even touch my fingertips, and I don't dare to jump, for fear of pulling her off.

Just as I was wondering why I had to send Xing Ying up first, a blood-red rope fell, and I knew at a glance that it was Xing Ying's blood-colored long whip, and when I saw hundreds of poisonous snakes swimming towards me, I thought I grabbed the blood-colored long whip without thinking about it, and began to climb for a while.
