The exam week is coming, and there is less time for coding. There is a big chapter today, and two more tomorrow.

"Zhao's son, there is a statement in the policy book: each of the ministers has a territorial territory, and Ru An dares to invade my territory and destroy my servants!"

Doctor Xuju is a puffy middle-aged man. Although he has the name of the Duke of Lu, he does not have the temperament of a nobleman. 【Full text read..】

Zhao Wuxi didn't answer him immediately, just glanced at the person coldly, and then turned back to look at the "employment" scene, the tips of his fingers were still trembling slightly.

It's too cruel, it's too much!

The so-called "human sacrifice", which is the so-called living sacrifice in later generations, is a primitive religious ceremony that uses living people as sacrifices to please God. During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the wind of human sacrifice was raging, and many people were used. The methods included burning, drowning, burying alive, cutting the heart, pricking the throat and draining the blood, beheading, etc., and even chopped people into meat and steamed them into meat soup.

After the Battle of Muye, King Wu of Zhou, known as the teacher of benevolence and righteousness, still regarded a large number of Yin and Shang nobles as sacrifices, beheading hundreds of them and offering sacrifices to Haotian. Until Duke Zhou came to power, he seemed to think that this method was too cruel, so the main stream of the Zhou family began to condemn the ceremony.

Therefore, the phenomenon of human sacrifice in the Spring and Autumn Period is not as shocking and cruel as in the Yin Dynasty, but it is not uncommon. Although Zhao Wuxi had already heard of it, it was not until today that he could see his true face, and it was even more embarrassing than the burial of a living person who had been banned by Wuxi on the territory.

When he heard the report of the scout Yu Xi, saying that today, Dr. Suji had summoned nearly 10,000 people to hold human sacrifices in Haoshe on the outskirts of the city, he knew that this was no trivial matter. So I hurried over with the whole teacher, but I saw a mass of tens of thousands of people gathered outside the city, watching the shaman and Doctor Sujiu hold a blood sacrifice ceremony, kneeling to the sky and cheering when the blood was dripping, praying that the Lord would be satisfied with these offerings, so that the typhoid epidemic would be prevented early. some past.

Zhao Wuxi immediately let hundreds of people under him shoot bows and arrows, forcing a path. He asked the military pawns to maintain order, and separated the crowd from the altar, and walked in to take a look, but it was a moment late.

Nine "offerings" tied to pillars. Seven people have already been killed like livestock, and the methods are extremely cruel.

Five of the dead were all handsome men and beautiful women selected from several towns around Xuju. But the other two turned out to be the messengers sent by Zhao Wuxi earlier! They had been imprisoned before, preferably poisoned. When Wu Xie arrived, only one person was left with his wrist cut off, dying in a coma!

There are also the messy stumps on the ground, the charred internal organs pulled out by the wizard, and the pools of black and red blood condensed, reflected in the sluggish and fearful eyes of the onlookers, it was extremely dazzling!

...

Zhao Wuxi was furious and immediately ordered the termination of the ceremony. Yu Xi and others were already filled with righteous indignation when they saw that their colleagues were killed. So after Zhao Wuxi gave an order, he dragged the wizard who was going to continue the violence and pressed him to the ground.

This move has already attracted many complaints from the public, but the military pawns dared not do anything about Doctor Xuju, who was in Chinese clothing, and could only be surrounded by spears.

At this moment, Doctor Xuju was still dissatisfied, and kept saying that Zhao Wuxi had no right to interfere in the affairs of his territory, and interrupting the sacrifice was a crime of disrespect to the gods.

Zhao Wuxi sneered: "Why do you enter Xuju? Just because I am a small secretary in the state of Lu, and one of the doctors in Western Lu. I am in charge of the lawsuits of the ministers, officials, and the people, and rectify the illegal actions!"

"As a doctor in this place, I offer sacrifices to the gods and pray for an early end to the epidemic. What's wrong with you? You destroy the sacrifices, and if the epidemic continues to spread, it will be your sin!" Carefully tidying up the placket, frowned, and looked at Zhao Wuxie as nothing.

The onlookers began to make a commotion. Apparently, Doctor Suzaku is stirring up public sentiment.

So Zhao Wuche glanced at Kan Zhi, who was able to speak well. Kan Zhi understood and stood up and refuted loudly:

"When Duke Xiang of Song asked Zhu Wengong to capture the village of Yu Ci Sui, who wanted to belong to Dongyi, his elder brother Sima Yi once said that in ancient times, six kinds of animals could not be used for sacrifice to each other, and small sacrifices were not Killing big animals, how dare you use people as sacrifices? Sacrifices are for people. People are the masters of gods. When killing and sacrificing, gods will only be angry, how can they enjoy them with peace of mind?"

The sorcerer who had been pinned to the ground by the soldiers said loudly, "Thirty years ago, when Ji Pingzi attacked Ju, took the town of Yang, and returned to offer prisoners, he employed people in the Bo Society! The doctor and I are just Just follow suit, Xiao Sikou wants to ask the guilt, why not ask Ji Shi!"

Kan Zhi spat at the wizard and said, "It's a shame that you dare to mention it! This is the beginning of the bad habit of offering sacrifices in the state of Lu. At that time, Zang Wuzhong was in Qi, and after hearing about this, he said that Duke Zhou probably didn't want to enjoy the state of Lu any more. It's time for the sacrifices! Duke Zhou enjoyed sacrifices that were in line with morality, while the State of Lu sacrificed human beings, which was not in line with morality. "Poems" say: "De-yin Kongzhao, treats people like people. Zang Wuzhong is right. It's too frivolous and casual, and how can God bless you if you use people like livestock!"

Zhao Wuxi also said: "Of course, the heaven has the virtue of good life, and the earth is rich in things. How can heaven and earth be happy when people offer sacrifices? What's more, you actually killed the messenger I sent to help Xuju epidemic prevention. And soldiers! Second and third sons, gather the bodies of the two and bring them up, so that Doctor Xuju and his Yiwu can see what they have done!"

The long-standing atmosphere of the soldiers suddenly boiled, and with anger, they assigned someone to take care of the unconscious wounded, and then carried the bodies of the two on their shoulders and carried them under the high platform.

One of them, Zhao Wuxi, is also recognizable. He is also an old man in the township. In the past, a hairy boy from the Sang family, who used to be with him as a horseman, has grown into a trustworthy messenger, and may be able to build a career in the future. on an ordinary mission.

Died at the hands of wizards!

His eyes were empty now, and he must have been beaten before he died, so he was scarred. There was not a trace of anger in the cold bodies of the two men, and the red liquid still slowly flowed out from the incisions in the chest, lower abdomen and back, as if many toothless mouths all over the body were spitting.

There was silence all around, only half a mile away, the dogs in Suguyi were barking sharply, passing through the brick walls and wooden doors, passing through the freezing rain, making people feel uneasy.

"Using people for sacrifices is already a serious crime for the disabled people. Killing the messenger I sent is even more unforgivable. The three of them were sent by me to assist in the epidemic prevention. ?"

Zhao Wuxi's words were icy cold, and the military pawns pressed forward with their spears in their hands, disarming the Suguyi soldiers. Surrounded by Doctor Xuju, no one dared to touch him at will.

The concept of not punishing a doctor is deeply ingrained, not to mention that Doctor Xuju is still a nobleman in the public office, a mid-level doctor on a par with Zhao Wuxi. In accordance with the laws of etiquette inherent in the state of Lu. With Zhao Wuxi's status, he couldn't make any judgment against Doctor Xuju.

So this fat doctor with big ears and big ears is a little bit fearless.

"Because this disease was brought by you Jin people!" He stretched out his hand and pointed heavily at Zhao Wuxi, as if he was the culprit. This is something that Yi Wu has been emphasizing since typhoid fever spread to the present, and he himself is convinced of it because of his disgust for Zhao Wuxi.

This kind of rhetoric deceived some people and led to today's tragedy. Thousands of people gathered at the scene. Except for the sick who were still breathing at home, almost the whole city came. They hope to sacrifice their lives, as the lord and the wizard said, and the plague will stop.

Among them, the three military pawns are the most important!

Therefore, after Dr. Xuju's old story was brought up again, almost everyone looked at Zhao Wuxi with dissatisfaction and fear, looked at the soldiers, and some even prayed loudly for Zhao Wuxi to release Dr. Xuju and the sorcerer and let the ceremony continue. . The wizard who was pinned to the ground also grinned, showing his mouth full of yellow teeth. Smiled triumphantly.

Once the tens of thousands of people boil, it will cause a serious riot, neither is Zhao Wuxi's suppression, nor is it collapsed. Doctor Suzaku had a really good idea, and Kan Zhi's palms began to sweat, and he was desperately trying to figure out what to do.

But in the end, Zhao Wuxi was just a simple rhetorical question, and this rhetoric was self-defeating.

...

"That's absurd!"

He made a loud noise, shocking everyone. Randomly ordered a crowd of Xuju people who were watching and asked him, "In the beginning, where did typhoid fever come from, east, south, west, and north?"

The man replied timidly, "From the north."

"Of course, in those days, the west side where we were located was completely blocked, and no one was allowed to enter or leave. The patients with typhoid fever came from the north, and the north was the state of Qi, and it was the people of Qi who brought the disease, and it has nothing to do with us."

Wow, the people started talking again for a while, but Doctor Sugu and the sorcerer couldn't think of how to respond for a while.

"In the final analysis, it's because your doctors refused to block Tu Dao and rejected outsiders." These words were spread word by word by Lu people in dialect, and Zhao Wuxi only hated that he didn't have a loudspeaker at hand.

"Furthermore, Xilu's typhoid fever has been cured, and we are here to help everyone expel the epidemic!"

"what?"

"It's true!"

The Xuju people seemed to be drowning with straw, and they all raised their heads and stood on tiptoes. If the military soldiers hadn't blocked them with their spears, they would have jumped at Zhao Wuxi's feet and asked for an explanation.

"I'm a small secretary in the state of Lu, and I'm in charge of the defense and epidemic control matters of various towns in Xilu. How can I be fake? Everyone, look west."

On the side of ten thousand people, what is there to the west? Except for the **** sunset that is about to end.

"In half a day, there will be magpies flying to herald joy, and the genius doctor Bian Que will be at the rear of the army. At that time, he will rejuvenate with his wonderful hands, and the typhoid epidemic will naturally be completely eliminated."

"Bian Que?"

"Divine Doctor Bian Que?"

"I am really saved!"

Bian Que is famous all over the world. He had been to Handan, and when he heard the noble ladies, he was a doctor; when he went to Luoyang, he heard that the people of Zhou loved the elderly, and he was a doctor for the eyes and ears. Following the custom, there are also many legends left in Qilu and other places, which have great influence. Zhao Wuxi reported the word Bian Que, which is more effective than his dry mouth.

Seeing that Zhao Wuxi's persuasion was effective, Kan Zhi also used Lu Guo dialect to assist: "This is the end of today's affairs. You all go home and wait for the sick doctor to come and give relief and medicine! Think about it, if Doctor Xuju could have accepted Xiao Sikou’s help earlier, and given earlier anti-epidemic treatment, how could the typhoid fever have not been eliminated until now, and how could your relatives die unjustly?”

Simple people are the easiest to fool and make noises. Under the persuasion of Kan Zhi, the rampant typhoid fever began to become the sin of Doctor Xuju.

As the leader of this sacrifice, the highly respected barbarian shaman in the local area saw the bad situation, desperately trying to break free from the soldiers, and shouted loudly: "Although the epidemic was not brought by the Jin people, it is really a ghost and a god. , this is the punishment for the battle of Jin and Qi, and it will only bring disaster to the sentence. If everyone returns home and does not continue the sacrifice, if the epidemic is not eliminated, it will become more intense. What should we do!?"

...

The disease caused by ghosts and gods is something that everyone deeply believes, and they are always afraid of the unknown. As soon as these words fell, they were entangled again. Yes, no one can tell what will happen tomorrow. Even if the genius doctor Bian Que really comes, can he really resist the wrath of ghosts and gods?

The soldiers were outraged, and three colleagues had already been killed. Is it not enough? But without Zhao Wuxi's order, they wouldn't use the tip of a spear to wake these blinded ones.

Zhao Wuxi looked angry but also a little helpless. The people were reluctant to leave, so that Doctor Xuju and the sorcerer could rely on him.

He pondered for a moment and then said, "Since you really think that the ritual will not continue, if the local ghosts and gods are angry, then that's it... Bring Na Yiwu up!"

"What do you want to do, what do you want to do!"

Yi Wu was terrified, Wu Xie grabbed the front of his shirt and smelled a disgusting smell of spices. Thick and sweet mixed with blood. He seemed to see the shadow of becoming a witch in this person, but under his transformation, the wizard did not have the courage to kill people for evil.

"I heard that you are so powerful that you can communicate with the Lord of God?"

"Of course, so Xiao Sikou can't hurt me, otherwise..."

"I don't want to hurt you, I just want you to help me continue this sacrifice... But man is the spirit of all things and cannot be easily killed. It's better to replace it with me."

The shirtless pushed him to the ground. Immediately, he pulled out the Shaojiao sword that could be broken by the hair on his waist, and raised his hand, but it was not aimed at Yi Wu, but at himself.

"Lord!"

"Siko!"

The people around were shocked. They rushed forward to stop them, but saw that Zhao Wuxi just cut off a strand of his dark temples and threw it in front of Na Yiwu.

"pick it up!"

Yi Wu thought that he was going to be killed, and his whole body was trembling with fright, but he would come back to his senses and hold the few strands of black. Overwhelmed.

The tall Wu Xie stood in front of him and announced: "I am the descendant of the mysterious bird of destiny, the nobleman of the Zhao clan, the doctor in Sanyi, who was personally enshrined by the emperor, and the small secretary of the state of Lu, who took my skin as a sacrifice, and came here. Complete this final ceremony, okay?"

The skin of the body, the parents who receive it, do not dare to damage it. The beginning of filial piety is the beginning of filial piety. Although this Confucian concept has not yet become popular in the world, it has already had a certain influence in the state of Lu. Chinese people wear buns and take care of their skin. They regard it as the beginning of ritual and music, which is different from barbarians who cut off tattoos. Shaved is also regarded as a shameful "suffering punishment".

Therefore, as a nobleman, Zhao Wuxie turned his head, and everyone present thought it was a remarkable move, so Yi Wu was also dumbfounded, and said in a soft voice like a mosquito: "But..."

Zhao Wuxi was mourning the two soldiers who died, and the sacrifices who died unjustly, so his face was solemn, and it seemed that he had possessed divine power and completely dominated the interrupted sacrifice.

"The Lord of the Mountains, Ghosts and Waters of Xuju, the spirit of Yijun in all dynasties is above, listen to my congratulations, if there is punishment, it is not the people who are guilty, but the boy is unscrupulous!"

"Xianzai Sikou!" Those present who could hear this prayer fell to their knees and were so moved that Zhao Wuxi wanted to let the ghosts and gods spare the people and only blame him! Compared with ~lightnovelpub.net~ Doctor Xuju is selfish and ugly.

After Zhao Wuxi finished speaking, he looked indifferently at the bewildered Yiwu. The soldiers and the sacrifices must have been desperate before they died. Soon, they will soon be able to see it in the eyes of this person.

"Someone has to pass on this prayer, since you, a barbarian, claim to be able to travel through the realm of ghosts and humans, and communicate with the gods. Two or three sons, find firewood, set up a fire pillar, kill the white horse and the black dog, and then burn him and my skin together. Let him take the offerings and send them to the residence of ghosts and gods!"

ps: (King Wu was abolished by Zhou Yao and a hundred of evil ministers, and he was attacking the master of You Juejia, the kid. All wear clothes and clothes, and enter first.——Yi Zhou Shu. World prisoners, the so-called teacher of benevolence and righteousness is false, the victorious killing of the loser nobles is true) (To be continued.)
