Chapter 181: The Horrific Human Sacrifice

On Yao Yun's way to the Wu Temple, the Huangshi Heavenly Book flashed with golden light again.

Yao Yun took a look and found that there was another task on the Huangshi Heavenly Book.

[It has not rained in Xiguo for more than a month, and the people's farmland is in danger. Mission: Solve the shortage of water in farmland, Reward: "All Living Beings' Mental Power Tongtianlu - Chapter II".

After discovering the new task, Yao Yun was naturally interested, especially after seeing "The Thoughts of All Living Beings through the Heavens - Chapter II", Yao Yun seemed very excited.

Although there is no obvious effect after the cultivation of [All Beings' Mental Power Tongtianlu - Chapter 1], Yao Yun can still faintly feel the breadth and profundity of this magical exercise, the reason why the effect was not obvious before is because the exercise is incomplete, as long as you get the follow-up exercise, then you will inevitably find its true use!

After the excitement, Yao Yun quickly calmed down again, although the reward was full of temptation, but if he didn't complete the task and solve the problem for his subjects, then everything was utopian.

There is a shortage of water in the rain-flooded Nanban land!?

Along the way, Yao Yun was thinking about this question.

After he was promoted to Qi Refiner, he was much freer, and led his army to the valleys around Bison Ridge and Iron Mine, and found that there were many large and small lakes, rivers, and beach streams around Xiguo, and there was water everywhere he went, and there was no shortage of water at all.

There has been no rain in the last month or two, and it may have been a drought elsewhere, but it is not so severe in the south.

Thinking of this, Yao Yun's anxious mood gradually eased, and his steps became more calm.

When I came to the main hall of the Wu Temple, Wu Tong and all Wu Zhu and Wu Tong were present, and Cang Man and Hu Yi were also there.

Here, I have to mention Hu Yi, because Yao Yun subdued the ghost general Jumu, the iron mine has a general to guard the town, and Hu Yi was transferred back to Xidu by Yao Yun to defend the city.

This made Hu Yi moved, since the last mistake, he thought that he would only be able to be assigned to the edge forever in his life, but he didn't expect the king to transfer him back again, and Long En did not decrease, which moved him, and his favorability towards Yao Yun rose gradually, and it also reached the level of unswerving death.

Yao Yun walked into the main hall, walked straight to the throne in the middle, flicked his robe, and sat down with a golden sword: "Second Elder, why is it so exciting?"

The second elder bowed his head and said: "King, it hasn't rained for more than a month, and many farmers have reported that their paddy fields are short of water, and their crops are almost dry!"

Sure enough, it's for this!

Yao Yun said at this time: "Second Elder, there are many waterways, lakes, and beaches around Xidu, so there should not be a drought and water shortage, and other small lakes dare not say that the Yingshui River will definitely not dry up, in that case, why not divert water to irrigate the farmland?"

Wu Tong saw that what his king said was reasonable, and he was quite satisfied in his heart, but he smiled bitterly on his face and said:

"King, what you said is right, the people have long been diligent in digging ditches, diversion of river water, lake water to irrigate farmland, which has saved a lot of farmland, but we have a lot of hills here, the terrain is undulating, and the farmland in the plain area is low and good for irrigation, but there are also many farmland with high terrain, and there is no way to divert water for irrigation, which is the crux of the problem!"

When Yao Yun heard the second elder's explanation, it suddenly dawned on him that this was how the shortage of water in the farmland came about.

The second elder Wu Tong saw that the king understood the reason for the matter, so he opened his mouth and asked: "The king, the irrigation of farmland is urgent, if it is late, the harvest in the field will be less, and many farmlands may not be harvested!"

Yao Yun was stunned for a moment, what does it mean to be urgent, could it be that the second elder Wu Tong has a way?

"Second Elder, do you have any clever plan to solve this problem?" Yao Yun asked.

Second Elder Wu Tong nodded calmly: "Great King, it is precisely for this reason that the old man invited you to come. ”

After speaking, the second elder Wu Tong handed Yao Yun a bamboo slip.

There were not many words on the bamboo slips, and Yao Yun glanced at them after a few glances.

After reading it, Yao Yun did not put down the bamboo slips, nor did he speak, but looked stunned, and even felt a little angry and absurd in his heart.

The content on the bamboo slips is nothing else, it is the invitation technique of the sacrifice, and the way of sacrifice is very simple and straightforward, that is, human sacrifice!

To put it bluntly, human sacrifice is to sacrifice living people, and the second elder intercedes and uses twenty slaves as sacrifices to sacrifice ghosts and gods!

Yao Yun's face suddenly fell: "Second Elder, the way you said is to use living people to sacrifice?"

Wu Tong shook his head and argued: "The king, the old man didn't say that he used living people, and he didn't dare to use the people to sacrifice to the sky, he used slaves, the king, there must be demons when things go wrong, let's just sacrifice a few slaves, and then the demons will disperse by themselves, you don't have to worry!"

Yao Yun was speechless for a moment, and the second elder did not treat slaves as human beings at all, and he took them for granted.

In other slave places, the status is equivalent to livestock, and it is very normal to kill slaves and sacrifice to the sky, Yao Yun can only rely on imagination for this before, but when he heard it from Wu Tong's ears, he clearly felt the coldness and cruelty.

Yao Yun didn't consider Wu Tong's words, and directly shook his head and refused: "Lone doesn't agree to sacrifice the heavens with living people, this matter hurts the heavens!"

Wu Tong's face suddenly froze, and he smiled bitterly, just about to convince the king, but Yao Yun spoke.

"Second Elder, isn't Uncle Long a dragon? Long Kexing is a wind and rain, to ensure that the wind and rain are smooth, with him, the lack of water should not be a problem!"

Wu Tong shook his head: "That's a divine method, if Uncle Long is at his peak, he can barely protect the surroundings of Xiguo, but now he is in the dormant period, he is powerless, he is currently cultivating, and he has been going out less recently." ”

Yao Yun was disappointed, as expected, he had no horns on his head and was not able to do things well.

"Second Elder, in that case"

Wu Tong's face was happy: "King, have you promised human sacrifice?"

Yao Yun immediately shook his head, recalling the knowledge of the previous life, he was a little sure in his heart, as long as there was a water source, it would not be difficult to irrigate the farmland!

"No, Lone is going to take a look, it's not desperate, Lone won't agree to sacrifice ghosts and gods, besides, Lone has a way, no need to sacrifice the living"

Yao Yun, as a traverser, is naturally 100% opposed to human sacrifice, and this bad habit feels brutal and absurd when you think about it.

The second elder Wu Tong shook his head helplessly, the prestige of the king is growing day by day, the original sacrifice is a matter of the witch temple, as long as he, the elder of the witch temple, gives an order, it can be done.

However, when he ordered the capture of slaves for the Xidu army, the armor soldiers did nothing.

From the generals of the army, Cang Man, Hu Yi, to ordinary soldiers, the Xidu army is completely headed by the king, and without the permission of the king, they don't dare to catch slaves casually - after all, slaves are the private property of the king, and no one has the courage to do so!

Yao Yun led a group of people out of the Wu Temple and went to the stricken farmland outside the city.

The second elder followed behind, with a lot of emotion in his heart, the king had grown up and his wings were growing, and he was both relieved and helpless in his heart.

But halfway through, Wu Tong was not in a hurry.

After the king's inspection, if he did not find a solution to the lack of water in the farmland, the king would naturally agree to human sacrifice, and there was no need to worry at all.

Thinking of this, Wu Tong walked with his hands in his hands, and his eyes that had gone through the vicissitudes of life seemed to see through everything.
