Xu Qingsui noticed her confusion and explained: "Don't get me wrong, this is not a tree, it's just some kind of tree-like creature."
As he spoke, the ground beneath Wen Yan's feet spread out in all directions, and the position where he stood gradually formed a pit-like shape, and it continued to sink in as if it would not stop.
In less than a minute, Wen Yan's head had already submerged into the "underground", and the surrounding "branches" slowly closed again, completely covering him.
But after covering it up, the creeping movement of the entire "room" did not disappear, but became more intense. Moreover, the "room" seemed to be slowly shrinking, and the four walls were moving towards the place where Wen Yan was "buried" at a very slow speed.
The place shrinks.
Xu Qingsui pulled Mi Ting back out: "Get out, it's useless here, come back and drag him out in three days."
Mi Ting was shocked and said: "He won't...will be okay?"
Xu Qingsui sighed: "Although I don't want to admit it, he is indeed the most torture-resistant person I have ever seen. He fell into the Heavenly Punishment Pit, surrounded by soft contact surfaces with thorns, and the soft bones were constantly squirming.
The thorns cause a huge itching sensation that lasts until the person dies."
"What!" Mi Ting stopped in shock, "I want to save him!"
"Don't worry, listen to me. Do you know what 'Heavenly Punishment' is?" Xu Qingsui asked while pulling her out.
"You're not talking about what kind of creatures these are..." Mi Ting turned around frequently and replied distractedly.
"To be honest, they are a group of creatures with little aggression." Xu Qingsui said, "Only when someone enters among them, will their aggression be aroused, and the person will be completely wrapped between them, and then they will use their body to
Soft Thorns attack. But their attacks are only
There is this kind, and it is not violent. Although it will cause great pain to people, it cannot really kill people. Of course, this is also because human bodies are larger. If it were a small rabbit, it would
Or creatures like wild dogs may still kill them."
Mi Ting put down her snack for a moment and couldn't help but said: "How do you know this?" You must know that the Xu family is almost isolated from the world. Members of the family rarely go outside to study and research. It is impossible to know this kind of thing.
It's something that is beyond the scope of "common sense".
"When our Xu family first arrived here, we discovered the existence of this 'Heavenly Punishment', but science was not developed at that time. We only thought it was some kind of sacred place, but we didn't know it was a kind of living thing." Xu Qingsui
Said, "It wasn't until more than thirty years ago that someone accidentally entered here. That person was a biologist. Because he evaded pursuit, he lived here in seclusion all his life. After seeing the punishment, he became interested and conducted all-round research on it.
Only through investigation did we know the truth."
While they were talking, the two of them had already left the passage and reached the open ground outside.
Mi Ting looked back at the passage and suddenly said strangely: "Is that that kind of creature? Why were we not attacked in the passage?"
"Those are just corpses." Xu Qingsui explained, "The Heavenly Punishment has actually been moving towards the mountains, but the speed is quite slow. For more than twenty years, in my impression, they moved at most twenty or thirty meters, and the remaining
The corpses formed the passage."
Mi Ting had never seen or even heard of such a magical creature. She was secretly worried. She looked inside the passage a few more times and asked worriedly: "Will there be an accident?"
Xu Qingsui sighed: "Uncle Wen's longest record is that he stayed in there for seven days. What accidents can happen in three days?"
Mi Ting finally felt relieved, but she frowned and said, "I don't understand. You said it just gave him an 'itch'. Is this a severe punishment?"
Xu Qingsui didn't answer and asked instead: "Have you ever had the soles of your feet tickled?"
Mi Ting nodded.
Xu Qingsui said slowly: "It's like being scratched on the soles of the feet for three days in a row, and the whole body is as sensitive as the soles of the feet. Do you think it will be very painful?"
Mi Ting couldn't help but take a breath of air.
Not to mention three days, most people would almost burst out laughing after scratching for thirty seconds!
Xu Qingsui said again: "Of course, the feeling is like that, it does not mean that it is really scratching the soles of the feet. For example, my body is dull and I don't feel anything when I scratch the soles of my feet, but after entering the Heaven Punishment Pit, I still feel that feeling from the bottom of my heart.
The itching sensation that comes out makes people go crazy. For our Xu family, 'Heavenly Punishment' is the most serious punishment, but it is also one of the best ways to practice Qigong, because it can help us improve very quickly.
Endurance.”
Mi Ting stayed here for several days and already had a rough idea of Yang Xi Gong and the situation of the Xu family. When she heard this, she couldn't help but feel moved in her heart and asked: "Wen Yan's Kung Fu is so high, is it because he has been tortured?"
many?"
Xu Qingsui smiled bitterly and said: "It's hard to say. It's difficult for ordinary people to stay in there for more than two days in a row, but he often stays there for three, four days, or even a week. This can only be said to be a talent, because even my dad and the others,
Even though I have decades of experience, it is difficult to stay there for more than three days."
Mi Ting didn't know why, but she felt a little proud in her heart.
It seems like that guy’s level is really high!
Xu Qingsui came to his senses and said, "Go back and bring a torch to let him out in three days."
"Torch?" Mi Ting and him turned around and walked towards the village.
"Once stimulated by the fire, these little guys will completely return to their normal state, and he can come out." Xu Qingsui patiently explained, "But before he comes out, you must not go in again, because you have no foundation in the Qingqiu Gong.
, if you go in, it will probably bring serious consequences to you and your uncle."
...
In the big room in the middle of our compound, Guan Qianqian frowned and almost wanted to rush over and punch the old man in front of him.
The guy's whole body was almost shriveled into a ball. As soon as he saw her, his eyes lit up immediately, scanning her body like flies seeing flesh.
He has an extremely white head and a face with more wrinkles than any other old man present, but his eyes are very bright - although it is an uncomfortable look.
The old lady Xu Lingshu coughed lightly and said, "Dad, Qianqian is here to see me. I want her to stay here for a while."
The old man stared at Guan Qianqian with a lewd smile on his face and ignored her.
Xu Lingshu finally couldn't bear it anymore and stepped in front of Guan Qianqian: "Dad!"
The old man finally came back to his senses: "Huh? Oh, yes, of course. I said Lingshu, you are not very beautiful either. How could you have such a beautiful granddaughter? Tsk, it's a bit unlike your inheritance, isn't it?
…”
"Dad!" Xu Lingshu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and quickly interrupted him, "That's because Qianqian's mother is very beautiful, and it has nothing to do with me!"
"Oh." The old man got down from his seat, walked up to her with his waist hunched over, pushed her away, and enthusiastically grabbed Guan Qianqian's little hand, "Qianqian, this is your first time to our Xu family, come here,
Brother...oh no, my ancestor will show you around here. Hey, your hands are really slippery, are you taking care of them?"
Guan Qianqian is on the verge of collapse.
Putting aside the huge age gap between myself and him, just based on the family relationship between myself and him, this situation should fall into the category of "incest" right now?!
Snap!
Xu Lingshu opened their hands and said angrily: "Dad!"
The old man chuckled, put his hands behind his back, walked around Guan Qianqian and walked out, still muttering: "If you don't let me touch you, I won't touch you. There are many pretty girls outside who want me to touch them. I went out and will be back in three days."
"
"You are so old!" Xu Lingshu cursed, then turned to Guan Qianqian and said, "Don't worry, your great-grandfather has such virtue. Alas, it all comes from practicing. But don't worry,
He just talks casually and doesn't dare to really do anything to you."
Guan Qianqian came to her senses and said, "It's best like this."
Xu Lingshu said in astonishment: "What?"
A cold light flashed in Guan Qianqian's eyes: "If he really dares to do anything to me, I don't care who he is. I won't be responsible for breaking his leg!"
The few old men and women around him were all stunned.
On the contrary, Xu Lingshu's eyes were bright and he praised: "You are indeed my granddaughter of Xu Lingshu, she is so domineering! Come, I will arrange a place for you first, and then I will take you out for a walk." He simply said to the others.
After saying hello, he took Guan Qianqian and left the big house.
After leaving the small courtyard, an exclamation came from not far ahead: "Sister Qianqian!"
Guan Qianqian was stunned for a moment. When he saw that it was Mi Ting, he was shocked and looked away unnaturally.
When the two met for the last time, she was still chasing Mi Ting and Wen Yan. Now her stance is completely different, and she felt a little embarrassed when they saw each other again.
But Mi Ting trotted over and said happily: "Did Wen Yan bring you here? Then you don't have to kill us anymore!"
Guan Qianqian didn't expect her to be so friendly, and then she remembered that Wen Yan had said that it was because Mi Ting asked him to save others when she saved him, and her heart suddenly softened, and she said in a low voice: "Well, no... I won't do that again.
By the way, how did you get here?"
Mi Ting stepped forward to hold her hand and said with a smile: "I was discovered by Brother Qingsui. When he saw that I knew Wen Yan, he rescued me here. What happened to you during this time? I miss you so much.
!”
"Do you want us to die or do you want that kid?" Guan Qianqian was moved by her emotions and couldn't help but relax and smiled slightly.
"I... think about it all." Mi Ting's cheeks turned red and she changed the subject, "You haven't said where you have been during this time."
Guan Qianqian looked at Xu Lingshu next to him. The latter understood and said: "I am about to arrange a place for Qianqian. How about this? Tingting, you can live with her."
Mi Ting was overjoyed: "That's great! Sister Qianqian, come with me, and I'll take you to your place! It just so happens that we can have a good chat at night!"
...
Three days later, Mi Ting, Guan Qianqian, Xu Lingshu and others arrived outside the passage of Heavenly Punishment.
Xu Qingru walked in holding a torch.
Mi Ting said nervously: "Will something happen?"
Guan Qianqian said calmly: "No matter who dies, he will not die."
Mi Ting grabbed her hand and squeezed it tighter and tighter, obviously not listening to her words.
Time passed little by little.
Suddenly, Guan Qianqian whispered: "Come out." Her ears were amazing and she had already heard the footsteps coming from inside.
Mi Ting suddenly became energetic.
A moment later, Xu Qingru appeared at the entrance of the passage, with a surprised look on his face: "There is no one inside!"
Mi Ting's delicate body softened and she fell down.
Guan Qianqian reacted quickly and supported her.
Mi Ting's tears instantly fell down and she cried out sadly: "Wen Yan!"
Xu Lingshu next to him frowned and said: "Qingru, please speak clearly! What does 'no one left' mean?"
Xu Qingru, who was at the entrance of the passage, was startled and said hurriedly: "The man is no longer inside. It seems that someone let him go."
Mi Ting was shocked when she heard this: "Isn't he dead?"
Xu Qingru said inexplicably: "My uncle has been punished almost eight hundred times, how could he die?"
