Chapter XXVIII

The sound of the leather whip breaking through the air made Fu Hanqing speed up his pace, but as soon as he stepped into the sky, the scene in front of him made Fu Hanqing stunned.

As he had heard, the whipping was being carried out here, and it was the Shadow Guard who was tormenting the Shadow Guard, in groups of two, divided into four groups, one of whom was hung in the air, and one of whom was severely beaten with a whip.

This should be a very ordinary flogging, but the situation in front of me is a little too weird.

The beaten shadow guard was not tied up and hung in the air.

Between the two large trees was a long branch, and four extremely thin threads were tied to the branches, and the four shadow guards grabbed the thin thread with their hands, lifted their breath out of thin air, and hung it in the air to be whipped.

And the four shadow guards who wielded the whip were in tattered clothes, their flesh and blood were blurred, and their bodies were full of extremely deep whip marks.

The person who was tortured was obviously very free, and his martial arts were not prohibited, and the person who was tortured acted acted as if he had just been punished.

Eight people, eight identical faces, who is hanging whom, who is punishing whom, beyond the sound of the long whip breaking through the air, the sound of flesh tearing, and the sound of blood dripping, there is only the monotonous and simple sound of counting.

Seventy-eight, seventy-nine, eighty......

Fu Hanqing stood there fixedly, without saying a word or moving, only staring at the strange punishment in a daze.

Di Fei's face was heroic and indifferent, and Di Fei's eyes were lonely and cold.

It was Di Fei who was hung in the air, it was Di Fei who was beating Di Fei, it was Di Fei's blood that splashed all over the sky and the earth, it was Di Fei's flesh and blood that was torn apart, it was Di Fei's pride and loneliness, even if he was injured and tortured, he still only had an indifferent face and cold eyes.

It was Di Fei's cruelty and ruthlessness, even if he was beaten by the closest people around him, or his own, he still only had an indifferent face and cold eyes.

Who is the one who is tortured, and who is the one who is being punished?

It was Di Fei who was beating Di Fei.

Why......

It was Di Fei who refused to let Di Fei go

Why......

Fu Hanqing closed his eyes, many, many years ago, in his previous life countless years ago, that day, he was hung high in the air, it was the thick and hard scale whip that found his body, it was his blood that splashed all over the world, and it was his flesh and blood that were torn apart. And the person who inflicted the punishment just sat on a high place coldly, and from the beginning to the end, he still had an indifferent face and cold eyes.

Then, he was given to Bai Jinghong.

The hesitation was only a brief moment, and all the shadow guards saw his arrival.

The tortured shadow guard took a step back, and the shadow guard hanging in mid-air let go and jumped down, and the eight of them bowed down together: "Sect Master." ”

Fu Hanqing was still disturbed by this strange situation, so he only hummed in a daze and didn't say anything.

The eight of them knelt on the ground and waited for a while, without waiting for any instructions from the sect master, and they all carried the orders of the king on their backs, and no one dared to slack off, and after another salute, they stood up.

The four of them jumped up again, grasping the thin line falling in mid-air with one hand, while the four shadow guards continued to whip at them, except that they began to count "one, two, three...... again"

Fu Hanqing was stunned and asked, "What's going on?" ”

Di Qi behind him said in a low voice: "This is the most common punishment method among the shadow guards, since we were children, we have often done so, people who have made mistakes must rely on one of their internal qi to hang in the air with a thin thread, and at the same time be whipped, and they cannot resist it with internal force." If the internal breath cannot be lifted to the extreme for a long time, which makes the body heavier and breaks the thin line, or if the internal breath is confused because the whipping cannot be endured, and the thin line breaks, then the number of lashes must be counted again. ”

Fu Hanqing shuddered: "Just now they counted ...... again"

"In any case, if you fall to the ground, you have to count it again. But the sect leader is here, and he must pay tribute. Di Qi replied lightly, his tone indifferent and ruthless.

Fu Hanqing stared at the tragic execution ground in front of him in a daze, these people are not people who are slow to feel pain like him, they really feel every bit of pain, and besides, not only can they not resist with their martial arts, but they must also cooperate with others as much as possible to torture themselves.

"If you break it once like this, you will count it again, but you are seriously injured, and you can't keep holding on to it, and next time you break it, count it again, and then break it again, and keep it like this, what if you can't support the completion of the punishment?"

This kind of punishment originally contains two meanings: punishment and testing martial arts. If you can't even lift your qi and light your body to support a punishment, then it proves that martial arts and perseverance are far from meeting the needs of the Divine Cult, and if you are not needed by the Divine Cult, there is no need to exist, and the punishment will not stop. In the years I've been training, more than a dozen of my buddies have been beaten to death in this way. Di Qi's answer was still flat, "But the sect leader can rest assured, those of us who stay to the end, whether it is the martial arts or the perseverance of the heart, are enough to support such a punishment, I think, if the sect leader does not appear, everyone can accept the whipping at one time, and there is no need to repeat it." The four of them who were being tortured should have been whipped in the same way just now, and now they can still fulfill the orders of the Heavenly King normally, and the strength of each whip has not weakened. ”

Fu Hanqing didn't understand how someone could explain the suffering of their companions so indifferently, how could someone hurt their companions so indifferently, and how could someone accept the harm of their companions so indifferently.

All people, whether they are tortured, punished, or spectators, have always maintained such indifference.

He thought he was a lazy man, a person who was not easy to have feelings, and a person who was indifferent by nature. However, in this world, there seem to be people who are far more stingy with their feelings than him, and there seem to be people who are far more indifferent and cold than him.

He watched in amazement as he watched each whip come down, and heard the number of the slab count down at once.

"Eleven, twelve, thirteen......"

"That's enough, stop." Fu Hanqing finally called out.

The four shadow guards immediately stopped: "Sect Master, this is the Heavenly King's punishment for our dereliction of duty. ”

"What dereliction of duty?"

"We've hurt the Master."

Fu Hanqing glanced at them: "So, how many whips do you have to take?" ”

"One hundred and fifty lashes."

"You've already taken it, now you're going to beat the four of them?"

"Yes."

The voice of the question is hurried, while the voice of the answer is relatively quiet.

Fu Hanqing's eyes turned back and forth between them a few times: "I am the sect leader, I know that the shadow guard only obeys the sect leader and the heavenly king, the heavenly king wants to torture, but I want to stop the execution, who do you listen to?" ”

Several shadow guards looked at each other, and after a while, Di San said: "The sect master's will is naturally the highest, and we will stop the execution, but if the sect leader is a good heart and wants to save us, it is best to discuss with the Heavenly King a little, in case the Heavenly King does not agree, although he will not immediately refute the sect master's intentions, but in the future, there will be countless opportunities to torture us." ”

Fu Hanqing nodded, and then asked, "What about Di Yi, why don't you see him?" ”

Di San replied lightly: "We just didn't protect well, so that the sect leader was injured and committed the crime of dereliction of duty. He was the leader of the sect who was injured by his own hands, which was a crime, and the king of heaven left him in the palace of the king of heaven to punish him personally. ”

Fu Hanqing was stunned, if he had been punished so badly for just failing to protect him, what should Di Yi suffer for hurting him with his own hands?

Without saying a word, he ran to the palace of the Heavenly King.

Di Qi and the other shadow guards followed him closely, while several shadow guards who had just stopped flogging stood still and watched him leave.

One of them said in a low voice: "He really seems to be different from others. ”

"So what?" Di San said lightly, "It's too late to treat us kindly, we are no longer human, and we will not have people's soft hearts and people's gratitude." ”

Because of the special relationship between the Heavenly King and the Shadow Guard, the Heavenly King Hall was built according to the Outer Heavens, and the two places were extremely close to each other, so that Fu Hanqing could come to the Heavenly King Hall soon after leaving the Outer Heavens.

Because the kings of the past dynasties are to be the masters, the palace of the heavenly kings is just a decoration, and basically the time of residence is not long, so in the palace of the kings, this is the most simple. Di Jiu also still maintained the character of being indifferent and ruthless when he was a shadow guard, not luxurious, and did not like people to approach, so in the huge Heavenly King Palace, except for the two gatekeepers, he couldn't see a single subordinate.

Fu Hanqing is the new sect leader, so he naturally goes rampant, and there is no hindrance.

With his internal strength, he could hear moaning in the hall from afar. It was Di Yi's voice.

These people, who were so brutally whipped, who could still maintain an indifferent expression, and did not even cry out in pain, could let out such a faint and painful moan.

Fu Hanqing rushed to the hall and slammed the hall door open.

In the huge hall, except for Di Fei who was sitting on the top position, there was only Di Yi who fell to the ground.

He didn't look tortured, his clothes and hair were neat, and he didn't even have a speck of dust. There was no trace of torture on his body, but the kind of person who could still hold his breath after a hundred lashes with thick scales, and hung in the air with only a thin thread, seemed to have lost all his strength, and could only fall to the ground and groan. The muscles of his face were contorted, and his eyes were in excruciating pain, but he didn't seem to have the strength to roll on the ground or make a loud noise in pain, let alone stand. He could only fall to the ground as if all life, all vitality, had been drained away, groaning very low.
