Chapter 95: Sacrifice to the gods

"Those people, what are they doing?"

Seeing that there were so many people gathered by the lake formed by the ruins of Tongyuan County, Zhang Yue couldn't help but be a little curious. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

After a slight groan, Zhang Yue stretched out his hand to the group of people by the lake, turned around and commanded the Three Kingdoms Killing generals guarding beside him: "Go, go over and have a look." After that, he sat back in the carriage.

Then, Zhang Yue and his convoy moved again and headed towards the group of people by the lake.

As they got closer, the bustling voices came noisily, and the appearance of the group of people became clearer and clearer in Zhang Yue's eyes.

There were hundreds of these people, men and women, young and old, and most of them were ragged and gray-faced like the refugees Zhang Yue had seen along the way.

However, there are also small half of the people who are fairly well-dressed and have ruddy faces.

Among them, some of the people who seem to be the leader of the crowd and surrounded by the crowd are even more brightly dressed and full of wealth that cannot be concealed, and they are particularly eye-catching in a group of people.

Walking to the side of the crowd, the Bashu sword soldier Guan Sanle stopped the carriage, and the convoy slowly stopped.

At this time, among the people at the head, a middle-aged man with a thin body, high raised cheekbones, red and blue oil paint on his face, wearing a red and blue robe, wearing a high crown, and a somewhat strange style, was standing on a stone, dancing wildly like a sheep, and shouting and preaching something to the people around him hoarsely.

Listening to the shouts of the middle-aged man, the demeanor of the surrounding crowd was faintly full of fanaticism.

"Guan San, you take two people to inquire about the situation, and ask them what this group of people is doing here. The carriage stopped, Zhang Yue stood on the wheel and glanced at the crowd a few times, and then opened his mouth to give instructions to Guan San.

"Yes, my lord!"

Immediately, the Bashu sword soldier Guan San responded, threw the reins in his hand to another Bashu sword soldier beside him, jumped out of the carriage, ordered two Bashu sword soldiers to come forward, and pulled a few people from the crowd to inquire about it.

After Zhang Yue waited for a while, Guan San, who learned about the general situation, returned and reported to Zhang Yueyu: "Lord, they are worshipping the gods!"

"Sacrifice to the gods?" Zhang Yue said in surprise.

"Yes, my lord. Guan San's rough voice sounded, "According to those people, the previous continuous rainstorms, as well as the Dachang River breach, the flood washed away Tongyuan County, making Tongyuan County flood, all because the newly appointed Tongyuan County Commander was disrespectful to the Dachang River God not long ago, and angered the Dachang River God, so this kind of disaster will happen!"

Guan San briefly explained the matter to Zhang Yue, "Therefore, there is the current scene, the local people, under some powerful organizations, are ready to worship the gods here, in order to ask for the forgiveness of the Dachang River God. And the high-crowned man in the center is the priest of the god of the Dachang River in Tongyuan County, and this worship ceremony was hosted by him. ”

Guan San was talking, and the crowd on the side suddenly boiled.

Zhang Yue looked over and saw a wooden board the size of a meter in the crowd, which was carried out by four or five strong men with wooden sticks, and the wooden board was decorated with some colorful flowers and fruits, and even tied back to back, a man and a woman, two young children who were only seven or eight years old!

Amid the shouts of the crowd, a strong man strode towards the lake with a wooden plank.

"My lord, on the plank it was their sacrifice to the gods, a pair of boys and girls. It is said that boys and girls are the favorite food of the Dachang River God!" noticing the movements of the crowd, Guan San said to Zhang Yue.

"Actually use young children to please the so-called river gods?" Zhang Yue looked at those fanatical crowds, and his eyes instantly became cold.

Zhang Yue didn't expect that this scene, which he had only heard about in stories and legends, would actually happen in front of his eyes. If it is just a custom to worship the gods, Zhang Yue is not unacceptable, after all, each region has its own customs and habits. However, using the method of sacrificing the gods to stifle the lives of young children is beyond the scope of Zhang Yue's acceptance!

"Guan San, go stop them, save those two young children first!" Zhang Yue shouted to Guan San.

With Zhang Yue's personality, he couldn't watch two young lives disappear in front of his eyes. Although Zhang Yue's hands have already been covered with blood since the crossing, killing has long become commonplace, and when it is time to kill, Zhang Yue will never show mercy to his subordinates because of mercy. However, this does not mean that Zhang Yue has really become a cold-blooded butcher who will kill innocents indiscriminately!

If you don't see it, it's just that, since you see it, since you have the ability to save, then there is no reason not to stop this scene, not to save those two young children!

"Yes, my lord!"

With Zhang Yue's order, all of a sudden, Guan San led more than a dozen Bashu sword soldiers and rushed towards the crowd.

"Who are you?"

"What are you doing? Bastard, stop!"

……

rushed into the crowd, and turned a deaf ear to the shouting and scolding from the crowd, Guan San and other Three Kingdoms killing generals, but anyone who stood in the way fell directly to the ground and rushed straight towards the two young children on the wooden planks in the crowd.

"Who dares to destroy the ritual of sacrificing the gods?"

The unreasonable actions of Guan San and other Three Kingdoms killing generals who rushed into the crowd caused a commotion in the crowd, seeing that the crowd became chaotic, and the entire ritual of sacrificing to the gods was interrupted, on the big stone in the center of the crowd, the middle-aged priest who was dancing like a sheep madly stopped his movements, stared at Guan San and the others fiercely, and shouted loudly with a little shame in his voice.

Seeing that Guan San and the other three kingdom killing generals who rushed to the scene were still deaf to them, and they rushed violently, the middle-aged priest's expression became more and more annoyed, and he suddenly shouted, spit out an ancient note in his mouth, and waved his hands violently, and saw a fireball the size of a wine vat, suddenly appearing in front of the priest.

Immediately, with the movement of the priest's hands, the fireball that appeared out of thin air was stunned, and then rushed towards Guan San and the other three kingdom killing generals.

"Boom!"

The incident happened suddenly, and in the face of the sudden fireball, Guan San and the other Three Kingdoms killing generals didn't have much time to react at all, and only had time to instinctively avoid the surroundings, and the fireball had already rushed to the front and smashed down fiercely.

Flames, dirt and rubble splattered in all directions, and the smoke filled the air.

In an instant, I saw that on the ground where the fireball landed, there was a sudden large earth pit with a radius of meters, and the pit and the surrounding area were blurred with flesh and blood, and among the Bashu sword soldiers who rushed in, there was also a tear on both legs, and a large piece of missing a large piece of chest and abdomen on the left side, dripping with blood, and he was seriously injured and fell to the ground and died unknown.

And under this blow, the most injured was not the Bashu sword soldiers, but the surrounding crowd blocking Guan San and other Bashu sword soldiers. In the crowd gathered before, more than a dozen people's bodies were directly torn, and dozens of people were burned and shot by the splashing flame rubble!
