Chapter 152: Demon Palace
Walking along the red river, you can see the black backfish in the water from time to time, those fish don't dare to touch it at night, it's not that Ye Duhong doesn't have the courage, he is sensible, he knows his current cultivation, and he can't do what he can't do reluctantly.
The river is so hot, it is always so passionate, although Ye Duhong does not dare to touch those black backbones, but he can enjoy the enthusiastic performance of this water, in the sound of the waves of the water, Ye Duhong continues to gain strength.
In addition to the river, there are also mountains that can bring the pleasure of night solitude, how majestic the mountains are, how handsome the mountains are, the outline of the mountains is tortuous, full of dynamics, and the spikes seem to pierce the sky. The mountain road is not easy to walk, and the night Duhong experienced the ruggedness of the mountain road he had just walked by the river. Ye Duhong believes that the contact between man and nature is beautiful, like what mountain road is rugged, heavy rain and so on, these things can only be experienced to know its appearance, temperature, character, texture, Ye Duhong is in contact with the nature of the Demon Domain, he heard the river at the same time, stepped on the strange mountain road, but also looked at the sky overhead.
The feet are constantly colliding with the ground, and such a heavy step leads to pain in the feet and blisters on the feet, which is not a good thing. They crossed the long mountain road, listened to the sound of a series of rivers, and entered a flat area. This is really a plain that the three of them have never seen before. In this vast area, you can see a large number of people, most of them shirtless men, some pulling ropes on pulleys, some with mud, some carrying stones, and it is obvious that this is a group of coolies.
When the three of them approached a pile of mud, a man with a thin wooden stick raised his hand and shouted at them: "Go on one side, go on the other side, don't come here to stir up trouble, delay the project, you will feel good." ”
Puzzled, he looked up at the shirtless men, many of whom were doing their own handiwork on the high walls made of boulders, and they were all sweating, and he asked, "May I ask this uncle, what are these people doing?"
The stickman coughed his throat and said disdainfully: "You don't know this, it's a big person like you, it's really uninformed, I tell you, this is the royal work that our demon king ordered to build, our demon palace covers an area that scares you to death, our demon palace is about to be built to scare you to death, and the appearance and interior decoration of the demon palace also scare you to death, these people are all contributing to the construction of the demon palace, our project is very tight, there is no time for you to talk nonsense here, you want to see, just stand far away to see, don't stand here to get in the way." ”
"Why are we standing here in the way?" Wufa was a little unhappy, "We're standing here, what can we do in the way?"
"Hey, let's not care," Wudao put his arm around Wufa's shoulders and turned to point to a plane tree, "We can see it when we stand under that tree, let's go over." ”
Wu Fa reluctantly followed Wu Dao to the bottom of the tree, and Ye Duhong looked at the person holding the wooden stick, and also followed him to the bottom of the plane tree.
Wufa stood under the tree and complained, "What's the big deal, it's not going to be seen, what's the big deal?"
Enlightenment then said, "It's all right, let's stand here and look at it, they're working there, and if we stand there, it might affect them." ”
"You see how hard they work, those people are shirtless, and one person can carry such a big stone, it's amazing," Ye Duhong said, "The people standing on the boulder are grinding the stone with a hard object, and the surface of the stone is polished to the ground, so that another polished boulder can be placed on top of it, and there are many people grinding the boulder, and the sound of them grinding the boulder is sizzling, and I can hear it very clearly when I stand here, and their arms are covered with lime that has been splashed when grinding the boulder. ”
"And those who pull the ropes," said Ye Duhong, "and many people roared together, and pulled up the boulder at the other end of the rope, and the heavy boulder was lifted up to a high place, and then someone carried the boulder to the craftsman who sharpened the boulder, and the craftsmen polished the boulder one by one." For such a large boulder, it is quite difficult to transport, and it is also very laborious to polish. But those people are working hard, they are building a demon palace for the demon king. ”
"You see there are people on that mountain," said Wudao, looking at the mountain, "and the people on the mountain use hard tools to mine beautiful rocks, and those rocks are not easy to mine, and it is a huge project to cut the mountain into many boulders and transport the boulders to this place piece by piece. The people on the mountain are carrying axes, and I can hear them cutting down the mountains so far away, and they are really working hard. ”
Wufa said, "Yes, we can see and hear clearly here, so we don't have to stand by that mud pile and watch, there is a possibility that we will be covered in mud." ”
A thin young man ran from the mud pile, he was a stoneman who had run down from the boulder, and he said to the man with the stick, "Alas, alas, I am so tired, the iron grinds the stone, and it is hot, and it is so hard to grind, I don't want to do it, I want to go home." ”
"Go home?" The man with the stick is the supervisor here, and the supervisor is in charge of the work of the people here, he glared at the young man who ran over, "Do you want to go home? Can you let you go home? You have finished your work? You have done your work? You say that you want to go home, first of all, see how you are doing, you want to go home, you want to be beautiful." ”
The young man was anxious to go home, so he bypassed the supervisor and fled, and as soon as the supervisor shouted, two people who assisted the supervisor in his work stopped the young man, pushed the young man to the ground, and tied the young man with the rope on his body, and the young man was escorted to the plane tree where Ye Duhong and others were standing, and the young man was tied to the trunk.
"Let you run!" the stick in the overseer's hand slammed into the young man's calf bone, and the young man immediately let out a pig-killing howl, which made the young man tremble in pain.
"Where's the whip?!" the Overseer shouted. Immediately someone brought a long whip, and the long whip had red patterns on it, like human bloodstains. The overseer whipped the young man with a whip in his hand, and with each blow the young man let out a miserable wail.
The Overseer continued to whip the young man, and the young man's tattered clothes were torn open, revealing the flesh that had become bloody inside, and the blood stained his ragged shirts.
The young man was in pain, he hated this place, he hated all the devils here. These coolies had been caught in the Demon Realm from elsewhere, and they were reluctant to work here. The young man scolded his mother and spat at the supervisor. The thick phlegm happened to land on the supervisor's right eye, and the supervisor wiped it clean with a tissue. He grabbed a soldering iron from the side, burned it red on the fire, and then the overseer pressed the red-hot soldering iron on the young man's chest, and the young man's body was immediately burned, and from his chest came the smell of burnt human flesh, and at the same time the young man screamed hysterically, and he was in great pain.
Then the overseer took a torch and put it at the feet of the young man, and the young man was burned, and his body made a burning sound, and he could hear the sound of his own body burning, and he cried and screamed, and in the midst of his crying, the fire went up, and the young man was burned alive little by little.
The overseer raised his torch and shouted: "Some are not working well, some want to go home, some are running away, be such people!"
