"How disobedient."
Lin secretly squeezed out a few words through her teeth, and the attendants standing behind her stepped forward without any instructions and captured the human sacrifices who were still standing there who had not yet come to their senses.
They didn't remember to struggle until they were restrained.
Li Qingyi and the others who were hanging on the jumping chain, including Princess Eleven who had just angrily crawled towards Li Qingyi, couldn't help but make no sound.
But how could it be hidden?
The Seventh Prince was crying "Sister" loudly, and Concubine Wei Shu also looked up with a sneer on her lips!
Mrs. Lin had long noticed that there were fewer people, and she could figure out where the stinky smell came from without having to guess.
Her eyes were cold and sticky, climbing up the iron chain like a poisonous snake.
Even though Li Qingyi had been on guard for a long time, he was shocked when he saw this. She was born to be pampered and had delicate skin. Her hands had already been rubbed in extreme pain, but now she was so frightened that she couldn't feel the pain at all. She lowered her head. He said to Li Miaoran: "Don't worry about anything, just climb up!"
Li Miaoran was very obedient and tried her best to climb up without looking back. Gongsun Yi quickly climbed up without saying a word after a moment of trembling.
Lin's bright and beautiful face turned ferocious and terrifying in an instant, "Catch them all back to me one by one, skin them and remove their bones!"
As soon as she finished speaking, several women serving from foreign races jumped up and climbed up along the iron chain.
However, their movements were not as fast as expected. I wonder if they were also affected by the vague drum beat.
Li Qingyi hugged the iron chain, crushed a few wax pills from his sleeve, and secretly sprinkled the powder inside.
The light green dust attracted no one's attention in the dim environment.
Mrs. Lin was even sure that they wouldn't be able to run away, so she didn't keep staring at them. She turned around and said something to the people next to her.
Li Qingyi took out another bottle of oily liquid and poured it down the iron chain. This thing was originally an intoxicating drug with properties like oil. If it is sprinkled on the iron chain, the iron chain will become extremely slippery. , I think I can stop those women for a while.
It was completely dark above their heads, and they didn't know how high it was. They could only climb up with all their strength. After a while, Li Qingyi felt her chain tremble, and then there was a scream.
It was the woman behind her who grabbed a hand of oil on the chain. She couldn't steady herself and fell straight down!
This height was not fatal, but unfortunately she hit her head on the corner of the hard altar.
Li Miaoran and Gongsun Yizhi also got the thing from Li Qingyi just now, and the pursuers behind them couldn't climb up smoothly, but Princess Eleven was not so lucky.
As a princess, she had to be taken care of by others for food and clothing. Even the physical strength of Li Qingyi's sisters was not comparable to hers. She climbed very slowly and was unprepared. She was overtaken after a while.
Princess Eleven screamed loudly, and Li Qingyi turned around to look. Although he couldn't see her expression clearly, he could feel the resentment and unwillingness in her heart from her voice.
Li Qingyi looked away from her and saw two men beside Lin walking to an open space and rubbing and banging for a while, and then a dark stone trough rose up from the ground.
The stone trough is cold gray-white, three feet square, and is covered with strange symbols and patterns on the outside. The gaps in the patterns are dark, I don't know if they are dried blood, and there is something like sand inside. I don't know. what's the effect.
One of the men wearing a high crown held a boning knife with cold light in his hand. He walked to the stone platform and looked at a "human sacrifice".
Li Qingyi stopped climbing curiously, wanting to see what they were going to do.
Immediately afterwards, a human sacrifice was brought over and thrown into the stone trough. The things inside sucked the person in instantly like a swamp, leaving only a head outside. A person who looked like a maid came over carrying a silver pot and poured the boiling water on the man's head.
The man was stunned for a moment, and after a moment he screamed like a slaughtered pig when the pain came. The man holding the knife next to him hardly hesitated or paused, as if there was a chicken or a fish, and the bone in his hand was The knife moved swiftly and neatly towards that
The man's heavenly spirit has made a cross!
Li Qingyi's breath trembled. It turned out that the "peeling the skin and removing the bones" mentioned by Mr. Lin really meant peeling off the skin...
Lin seemed to enjoy it and said with a smile: "In ancient times, there were ten punishments, which were the ultimate punishment. The most interesting one among them was skinning."
The man buried in the soft mud was already frightened to the point of madness, but Lin continued to speak with more interest, "But it is not easy to peel off a piece of human skin completely. A living person needs to be immobilized, but It cannot be completely restrained, so we can only use the swamp mud to wrap the person, with only one head exposed, and then scald the scalp with boiling water and make a cross on the top of the head. In this way, the scalp will be healed with just a light peel. Fall off, and then pour cinnabar into the skin and flesh. The cinnabar is very heavy and will flow down along the gaps, and the muscles and skin will slowly be pulled apart. The person buried in the swamp mud keeps twisting in pain, but cannot Break free, and eventually, the body will jump out of the skin on its own..."
As she spoke, she looked at the white jade box held in the hands of another man with a high crown.
Li Qingyi was horrified by what he heard, and the other human sacrifices were also horrified. They were glad that they were not the first to be picked up and skinned, but they were also afraid that they would be the next ones. They all slumped on the ground with ashen faces. Guo Shufei covered her stomach and screamed, as if because of I was so frightened that I was about to give birth prematurely.
Mrs. Lin frowned and looked at her, "If the child is born, both of us will be useless. She will be next!"
Concubine Wei Shu shut up in shock, her pale face dripping with sweat.
The next moment, she suddenly pointed upward and shouted, "Li Qingyi and the others are running away! Mrs. Lin, why don't you catch them back quickly!"
Mrs. Lin seemed to enjoy the process of skinning so much that she didn't notice the situation on Li Qingyi's side. Only when she heard Concubine Wei Shu yelling did she see that the maids who were chasing her were all in a sorry state.
"Useless things! Get up here, all of you!"
Li Qingyi glanced at Concubine Wei Shu coldly, stopped looking down, and climbed up with all his strength. From time to time, he would crush the wax pills in his hands and scatter the stuff downwards.
Some of those who were chasing him were itching all over their bodies, and some had their hands and feet stiffened. They had obviously fallen into Li Qingyi's little trick.
These things are usually of little use, but sometimes they work wonders.
But after all, it's just a little trick, and it won't have much effect on people who are truly capable.
The second wave of pursuers was obviously strong and prepared, and gradually approached the three people above.
Evil waves rolled in Gongsun Yi's eyes, and his mother's madness made him feel a breath of bad breath. It was obvious that he didn't know the steps of bone removal before. Does his mother also want to treat him in this way?
He could understand her before because he was from the perspective of a descendant of the Han Dynasty, and he could understand his mother's persistence and urgency to restore the country as a princess of the Han Dynasty. But now from the perspective of his son, he could not understand a mother at all. Can you really bear to watch your child go through such a painful and terrifying thing? I'm afraid she has never regarded him as a blood relative.
Gongsun Yi looked at the woman in different clothes who was climbing up quickly with a gloomy look.
The iron chain was too heavy to be swayed by one person, so he could only jump to a nearby place.
Instead of going up, he went down, jumped onto another thick iron chain, and made an almost invisible detour behind the woman closest to him.
When the woman heard the sound, she grabbed the chain with one hand and turned around to look. The other hand had already touched the short blade at her waist.
Unfortunately, she was still a step too late. Gongsun Yi jumped up, kicked her in the chest, grabbed the short blade with his backhand and wiped it on her neck.
When Li Qingyi saw him like this, she knew that he was overwhelmed with anger. Taking advantage of this chaotic moment, she quickly climbed up.
The higher you go, the more real the explosions coming from outside the stone chamber. Qin Zeng and Changning Changlan may have met, and they may be on the altar, only separated by a wall from her.
But she looked at the void-like blackness above, wondering how far it would take to reach the top, and it was really hard for her to save her strength.
Li Miaoran had already crawled to the place where the mummy was hanging. No matter how brave she was, she was still very frightened. Li Qingyi caught up with him and felt sick in his stomach when he looked at the white and withered bones of the mummy.
Li Miaoran rested holding the chain, suspicious
He asked in confusion: "If we hadn't arrived first, there would still be so many people from the Xi clan?"
Li Qingyi thought: "Maybe not all of them are from the Xi tribe."
The two of them looked down at the same time, and saw that Gongsun Yi's eyes were red.
Seeing him like this, Mrs. Lin raised her eyebrows and asked more people to follow her.
Li Qingyi looked up and saw that the rope that hung the mummy was not knotted, but was wrapped around his armpits. He said: "If he is caught, we will be finished. Why not throw these hanging mummies down and make some Chaos is okay.”
Li Miaoran glanced at the mummy in fear and nodded bravely.
The two climbed up on the iron chains until they were level with the mummies. These mummies had been hanging here for who knows how many years. The withered muscles are wrapped around the dead bones, maintaining the human form from falling apart.
But as soon as the two sisters Li Qingyi messed around, many mummies became fragmented.
The two of them felt their stomachs churn, and they forced themselves to continue moving.
Ms. Lin below suddenly found mummies raining down from above her head. She was shocked and then became furious!
"You! You!" Mrs. Lin pointed to the attendants beside her, "Why don't you go up and capture those two little bastards!"
However, to catch them, one has to go through Gongsun Yi.
The scene became even more chaotic.
Several attendants worked together to grab the iron chain Li Qingyi was on and slowly rock it, making it impossible for her to continue climbing up.
Li Qingyi screamed, almost falling down, and quickly hugged the chain tightly.
Li Miaoran asked in a trembling voice, "What should I do?"
Li Qingyi bit his lip, raised his head and looked up. He heard the rattling sound coming from the iron chain, and said with a sigh: "Do you think this iron chain is deeply embedded in the stone wall? If it vibrates, the people on it can Can't hear any noise or feel some vibration?"
