Chapter 106: The Witch Sacrifice Furnace Tong Gong Su Xuan
Hou Yi sat down at the large square table, carefully unwrapped the package of viburnum, and then slowly removed the simple wooden hole cover.
The viburnum was safe and sound, but it was no more than a ruler high, as thick as a little finger, the stem was turquoise, and the leaves were purple-red, but at this time it had already given birth to four purple leaves, which showed that it was the fourth day of the first month of a certain month, and Hou Yi took three days on the way back.
Later, Chang'e came out of the bedroom and walked to the generous table, and Hou Yi pulled her to sit down and talked about the magic of viburnum.
At this time, Feng Meng held a giant bow in his hand, and he was drenched and led a large group of apprentices and Li Min to come to meet and congratulate, wanting to hear about Hou Yi shooting the demon.
Hou Yi was full of interest, after talking about the magic of the viburnum grass, he said in advance that he shot the chisel, the nine babies and the gale, and then said that Emperor Yao set up a banquet in the palace of Fucheng to celebrate his achievements and gave the name of "Yi", and finally talked about Emperor Yao was building a Tong Gong Su Ji in the sacrificial furnace of Fucheng Jingtian Peak, and was ready to ask him to shoot down for ten days.
All the apprentices and the people of Li listened to it one by one, and their blood was boiling, and they all raised their arms to congratulate: "The name of Yi, the emperor's surrender;
Hou Yi heard the praise and was very happy, and ordered Fengmeng to prepare wine and meat to entertain everyone who came to congratulate.
For a while, the wine and meat were put on the table, Hou Yi clinked glasses with everyone, the mountains ate and drank, and the table was full of messes, and everyone dispersed one after another.
In the next few days, Hou Yi taught the method of blood arrows, which is to soak the arrows with the blood of the shooter, and then use the spirit to resist the arrows. In fact, Hou Yi was worried that he would die in the failure of this sun shooting, so he taught him the stunt, hoping that he could protect the Li people of his tribe on his behalf in the future. Feng Meng got the inheritance of Hou Yi, and his ambition began, and he secretly thought that after getting rid of his master Hou Yi, he was the first in the world, and he did not take the heavy responsibility of protecting the people of the tribe to protect it.
Later, Hou Yi visited the Li people hiding in the caves, asking them about their diet and health, there were many dead, more sick, and the living all cursed the Li people for ten days. Hou Yi had no good plan, so he could only clench his fists, resentful, and hope to shoot the sun as soon as possible. Chang'e accompanied her all the way, brought water and food to the Li people, asked questions, and sent a few pieces of cloth to Ah Cao Ah Ye and the wizard Youhuang Granny.
In an instant, the pods had grown eleven pods unconsciously, and Hou Yi knew that the time had come and he had to return to the palace of Fucheng.
Before leaving, Hou Yi and Chang'e came to the cave with Huang Granny to ask for good fortune, and they got a divination: the fire is great, and the sky is blessed, and there is no disadvantage. So I decided to leave immediately.
Although Chang'e was reluctant, she had no choice, so she sent Hou Yi to the front of the Guishu slope at the entrance of the village again with Fengmeng and other apprentices and the people of Limin, before saying goodbye with tears.
Hou Yi carried the viburnum grass, stepped on the saddle, rode the horse and whipped the horse, and went straight to the palace of Fucheng with yellow dust rolling all the way.
Dozens of miles away from the north of Fucheng Palace, stretch a mountain range, the beautiful peaks stand in a forest, the canyon is deep, there is a main peak in the depths of the mountain range, called "Jingtian Peak", that is, this peak is quite tall and steep, contains the meaning of wanting to compare with the heavenly princess.
Emperor Yao's sacrificial furnace built a sacrificial training field with a simple bow was selected to be set up on the flat cliff halfway up the mountain of Jingtian Peak.
This flat cliff is the place where Emperor Yao has always worshiped heaven and earth, and there are more than two acres of land wide, and there are all kinds of buildings such as the sacrificial palace and altar.
At this time, in the middle of the flat square, there are two large furnaces of sacrifice placed side by side, both of which are more than six feet high, and they are flickering in the raging fire; the four corners are set up according to the ceremony of the four elephants, and there are several strong men beating the drums in shifts; the periphery is arranged with a fan of grass to cool the wind, and the edge of the cliff is full of totem flags fluttering in the wind, which is a / Zhuang / strict / incomparable sacrificial training dojo.
The ritual of the sacrificial furnace is carried out with great fanfare every day.
Forty-seven days have passed now, and there are still two days left before Tong Gong Su Yu will mysteriously appear.
Therefore, under the leadership of the first witch and the witch, the witches shook the magic weapon and danced wildly, as if the savages had gone crazy collectively.
In front of the two burning furnaces lay many witches, some as charred, some half dead as black paste, and some with their skin and flesh open and dying...... Although there are countless suckers absorbing heat and blowing cool, they can't resist the ten-day heat in the sky.
In the blink of an eye, on the forty-ninth day, Emperor Yao did not wait for Hou Yi's return, so he had to lead the civil and military ministers to the Jingtian Peak Sacrifice Dojo in person, preparing to extract the Tong Gong Suji.
Suddenly, the drums on all sides rang out at the same time, vigorously and majesticly, stirring each other, shaking hundreds of miles of mountains, each mountain seemed to be shaking, about to collapse.
Under the crazy leadership of the Xienu, the witches danced even harder, shaking the magic weapon in their hands, and making a strange cry from their mouths, as if a group of demons were dancing in the world.
The hot air waves swept around, and the red flames burned to and fro, as if they were about to burn all the things in the heavens and the earth.
After a while, several witches fell one after another, and they twisted their almost/naked/exposed carcasses in front of the sacrificial furnace, in pain, life was worse than death, but the red flames began to turn pure cyan, and the hot waves of qi began to slowly converge, and the most critical moment had come!
Emperor Yao and the ministers of civil and military affairs knelt on the ground one after another, praying to the heavens with great sincerity.
Suddenly, the flames were extinguished, the heat wave was gone, the earth-shattering drums came to an abrupt end, and the heavens and the earth fell silent.
Just when everyone was terrified, suddenly two red and white phosgene tornadoes also rose up like a furnace, soaring into the sky, spinning, spinning and spinning in the air at an altitude of hundreds of meters...... The more you spin, the slower you spin, the slower you turn, and then it comes to a standstill.
But I saw a huge Tong bow appear in the red light, and ten sharp plains appeared in the white light.
"Become an evil, become an evil!
The dancer suddenly knelt on the ground, stretched her arms to the sky as much as she could, made a gesture of wanting to hold the sky, and shouted sadly: "Ugly sister evil...... In order to save the people of the world, you prayed with your body, but was ruthlessly exposed to death on the mountain for ten days, today my witch girl is willing to sacrifice herself to the sacrificial furnace to create a Tong Gong Su, and finally after 7749 days, this Tong Gong Su Su Ji was refined. Ugly Sister Evil ...... The sky has eyes, Tong Gong Su was born, and you will die in ten days, and you can finally turn a blind eye to evil. ”
The screams are like crying, and people can't help but be moved.
It turned out that at the beginning of the ten-day period, Emperor Yao had asked the witch clan wizard and ugly girl to pray, but in the end he was exposed and killed on the tenth day [see the slight changes in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas • Overseas Western Classics". Emperor Yao's prayers and begging failed, so he had to find another way to shoot for ten days. Fortunately, before she died, the ugly girl confessed to her sister Xie's method of shooting for ten days, that is, using the virgin blood of 700 girls to refine the bow, and the 700 girls' Yin Qi arrows. Therefore, according to this method, the Xie Nu sacrificed the furnace, and really refined this Tong Gong Suji.
The girl sued the ugly girl as if she were crying, and suddenly flew up and took the bow in her hands.
Then she held the Tonggong Suyun in her hand, and flew down in front of Emperor Yao, with a solemn/stern expression: "Emperor, the Tonggong Suyu has been refined." ”
Emperor Yao slowly stood up and inspected the ministers of civil and military affairs, but still did not find Hou Yi's figure, and couldn't help but ask loudly: "Where is Yi?"
The civil and military ministers looked at each other, trembling slightly, not daring to respond, and there was silence on the flat cliff.
Emperor Yao glanced around, and then asked, "Where is Yi?"
There was still no answer, only the ten-day heat wave swept in one after another, making people more and more upset.
Emperor Yao was furious and roared: "Where is Yi?!"
"Yi is here! Yi is here!" At the place where the voice came, I saw Hou Yi rushing like lightning from the mountain road in the distance, and suddenly he had run to the feet of Emperor Yao, knelt on one knee, and cautiously arched and said, "Yi is late, please forgive the emperor." ”
"I've told you again and again, why are you still late?" Emperor Yao finally relieved, but still verbally condemned.
Yi rushed back three days ago, but he ran very quickly on the road, and the white horse was tired, so he had to run three hundred miles on foot to reach the palace of Fucheng, and after asking the guards in the palace just now, he hurried here. ”
"I see, but luckily you came in time, and I don't blame you anymore. Emperor Yao said, and shouted, "Come on, take the pottery bowl and sharp knife, and everyone quickly donate blood!"
A waiter next to him cautiously stepped forward with a red plate in both hands, in which was placed a clay bowl and a knife with ox ears, which had been prepared in advance.
Emperor Yao took the ox ear sharp knife with his right hand, slashed it in the palm of his left palm, and then clenched his fist slightly, and put dozens of drops of blood into the pottery bowl.
Then the crown prince Zhu Dan, Gao Tao Fang Qi and other civil and military ministers concocted the same method, all used the ox ear sharp knife to cut the left palm, put the blood in the pottery bowl, half a cup of tea Kung Fu pottery bowl has been full of blood.
The attendant held Zhu Pan in his hand and returned to Emperor Yao's side, standing cautiously.
Emperor Yao picked up the pottery bowl with his left hand, dipped the two fingers of his right hand in the pottery bowl with blood, and suddenly wiped it from Hou Yi's forehead to his jaw, and Hou Yi's face suddenly appeared two red blood marks, which was the grand ceremony of the barbarians in ancient times to go out on the expedition or hunt.
Then Emperor Yao held the pottery bowl in both hands and said solemnly: "Yi, this blood is the blood of the monarch and the minister, you drink this blood, shoot the sun on behalf of me, and God will bless you with success." ”
"Emperor Xie!" Hou Yi held the pottery bowl with a solemn expression, raised his neck, and drank it all in one gulp.
Emperor Yao then took the Tong Bow Su Yu from Xie Nu's hand and awarded it to Hou Yi and said: "Now I will give you the Tong Gong Su Yu, please shoot for me for ten days!"
"The villain obeys!" Hou Yi held the Tong Bow with both hands, and suddenly stood up, like Taiyue standing, with a murderous aura.
