Chapter 181: Respect

There was a sudden uproar in the tent, and the voice was full of surprise, admiration, and suddenly ......

The Great Witch asked, "Then according to your understanding, what should we humans do?"

Su You bowed and said, "Shouldn't we build a wide altar, decorate it with beautiful pictures, play solemn music, wear gorgeous costumes, put on exquisite furnishings, and offer rich grain animals?"

"Thus let the gods know that we have not lived up to the spirituality it has bestowed, but have used spirituality to transform it into ingenuity and create all kinds of beautiful objects to dedicate to it. Then open your heart and pray sincerely, asking for its guidance and blessings"

Everyone in the tent suddenly realized that it should be like this in both emotion and reason.

Sha Ma Pizhi jumped out again: "Little wizard! You want us to do your Han salute! ”

Su You didn't bother to take care of him, and said to Dawu: "Our Confucian classic, "The Book of Rites. It is very clear in the Qu Li: "If you sacrifice it instead of its sacrifice, it is called obscenity, and obscenity is not blessed." What is said in the "Zuo Biography" is: "Ghosts and gods are not their clan, and they are not worshipped." There is a cloud in the Analects: "If it is not a ghost, it is sacrificed, and it is also a flattery." ’”

"In other words, if it is not one's own ancestors and gods, sacrifices are useless and often bring disaster."

"The customs of the Han people are different from those of the Erlin Department, and the ancestors of the Han people are not the same person as the ancestors of the Erlin Department, so the rituals of sacrifice naturally cannot be the same."

"Sacrifice according to customs, sacrifice into ceremony, this is the right way."

"But we know the essence, object, purpose, and method of sacrifice, and with your wisdom, we can naturally sort out a set of sacrificial rituals suitable for the Erlin Department."

"For example, we use solemn and grand Yale for sacrifice, why don't we use brass drums and horns to stir up the desolation......

"For example, we use five grains and three livestock, why not use barley and buckwheat in the second forest department, white horses and white cattle ......"

"For example, the bronze ritual vessels we use, why not use brass and white copper that are as bright as gold and silver......"

"For example, we built a sacrificial temple out of wood and earth, and the stone fortress of the Erlin Department was not a little more than the middle earth building......"

"Mr. Fan's advice is just to tell everyone the lessons of our Han people, and to tell everyone that human sacrifice is not blessed by the gods. It is not to interfere with the sacrifice of the Erlin Department, so that everyone must follow the sacrificial etiquette of the Han people. ”

"How to choose, it depends on the choice of the Great Witch, the Great General, and the ghost masters themselves."

Da Wu stared at Su You for a long time: "Child, you are from another world"

Su You's cold sweat came down all of a sudden: "No...... I didn't have ......"

The Great Witch laughed and said, "Kid, you haven't learned to lie yet. ”

Ah Ho said hurriedly: "Great Witch, he is bewitching us. ”

After speaking, he pointed to Mr. Fan, who was thinking about it: "It must be him!" He didn't seem to say a word, but these words were all he asked this child to say! ”

Mr. Fan arched his hand and said: "Dawu, Fan didn't say a word today because he saved his life twenty years ago. A few days ago, Fan had decided that in his lifetime, he would teach and educate people in the Second Forest Department, and never take a step out of the Second Forest Department. ”

Da Wu shook his head and stopped him from saying any more: "Fan, your mind has never been pure, never. You can't fool me. ”

Mr. Fan just showed a disappointed look on his face, but he listened to Da Wu's words: "But where did you find this child, I have traveled among the Tubo people for a long time, and their class ditits have told me that there is a kind of reincarnated wise man among the Tubo people, who will carry the wisdom of the previous life or even several lives. ”

After speaking, he looked at Mr. Fan and said word by word: "This child's wisdom is deeper than yours, and he is stronger than you." ”

Mr. Fan smiled bitterly and gave up his hand.

The Great Witch turned his head to face everyone again: "It seems that everyone accepts this child's statement."

Everyone in the tent nodded in approval.

The Great Witch said, "I also think he has a point, since this is the case, then prepare for the sacrifice of human animals." ”

Su You hurriedly said: "Great Witch! Tell Su You, why is this why I haven't made it clear?"

Da Wu spread out his wrinkled hands: "Make it clear, good boy, but you should know that there is nothing in this world that can be obtained without paying a price." ”

"In order to gain the trust of the Second Forest Ministry, Fan has been making plans for 20 years, and now he agrees not to take a step forward with the Second Forest Ministry."

"You want us to change the custom of human sacrifice, such a big thing, how can we not pay a little price What if what you say is wrong and the gods blame it?"

The crowd began to hesitate again.

The Great Witch continued: "There is a sacrificial cave in the Erlin Department, and there is no human sacrifice that we have sacrificed so far, and there is no one who has not been accepted, if you are willing to become a sacrifice and come out safe and sound after three days in the cave, then we can think that the gods have accepted your plan." You are our last human sacrifice. ”

Chen Yu was furious: "Call the old man Hanako!" I'm afraid you're crazy."

Chao Gu directly drew his sword and came out: "I see who dares!" Mingrun, before traveling, Cheng Gong and Long Lao repeatedly told you to go back unscathed, ignore them, we will return today! ”

Dawu looked at Su You: "Child, you see, how easy it is to ask others to give up, change and accept, but once things are related to themselves, how difficult it will become."

"There are many tests that need to be passed to become the great witch of the clan and have the qualifications to change the festival. Child, are you willing to accept such a test?"

Su You lowered his head, turning over the thought in his heart, constantly calculating the risks of gain and loss.

Dawu continued: "If we adopt your guidance, then you will have the qualifications to practice witchcraft in the land between Dali and the Great Song Dynasty. These things can only be obtained through hard work. ”

"I promise you that as long as you accept human sacrifice and succeed in coming out, I will carry thorns on my back and go barefoot to the snow-capped mountains to confess our foolishness to the gods, and do my best to turn your guidance into a sacrifice."

"Now the decision is yours, child, are you willing to pay so much for the Erlin Department?"

Ah Ho Chizun couldn't sit still: "Dawu, why bother persecuting me so much Erlin Mingrun, forget it, we don't fight, we will abide by the old customs." ”

Su You had already made up his mind, and said to Ah Ho Chizun: "The general still needs to be cautious. Killing is not a crime, committing obscenity, and it is a serious crime in the Great Song Dynasty. If someone with a heart sues the court, and the general takes the official and goes to the knighthood, it will be light. The Second Forest Department and the imperial court have been separated from this since then, and the Meishan Trade Road will naturally be closed to the general, and the general must know the consequences. ”

Ah Ho Chizun's eyes widened angrily: "Sha Ma Pizhi!" That's the purpose of your encouragement to come over, isn't it? ”

Sha Ma Pizhi also got up and scolded: "Chizun! You are destroying traditions, is there still no reason! ”

Seeing that the people on both sides were about to clash, Su You suddenly raised his voice: "Everyone, please listen to me first!" ”

The tent immediately became silent, and Su You's style today has won the love and respect of the most people.

Su You bowed his hand to Da Wu and said, "Da Wu, I promise you." ”

The Han people, Ah Hoard, suddenly clamored.

Su You motioned for them to be calm, turned to Dawu and said, "Dawu, looking at the reaction of my clan and the Ah Ho tribe just now, you should know that human sacrifice is unpopular. The so-called Shun Tian responds to people. The human heart is actually the will of God. ”

"I promise you, just because of the new Great Song Dynasty of the Second Forest Ministry, everyone will inevitably be a little afraid and wary, and it is easy to provoke trouble, which does not mean that I agree with your decision."

"Today, I will take my Han Confucian classics and go into the cave to debate with the so-called gods."

"Su You only asks you for one thing, Erlin and Da Song, the combination is both beneficial, and the separation is two harms, this is the general trend. Great Witch, you are highly respected, and your wisdom is extraordinary. It is necessary to guide the people and tell them that in addition to interests, there are customs and traditions that need to be respected, and they must be benevolent. ”

"When you have a surplus, you might as well let them invite merchants who come from afar to come into the house to drink a cup of milk tea and eat two pieces of glutinous rice cakes. And not against them with a sword. ”

"Protect them, and everyone will get Dali's ironware, spices, Meishan's fine wine, and fine porcelain. It will allow us to have clothes and cotton to wear, and salt tea to use. Make our lives better. ”

"As for people's hearts, it is indeed the top priority, so we need to strengthen guidance and cultivation while life is getting better, and the school that Mr. Fan is about to run is set up for this purpose."

"Dawu, this is not a one-person two-person business, nor is it a two-part affair, it requires everyone's joint efforts. So, Su You, please. ”

After speaking, he turned his head and ordered: "Tie up my brother, go get my bookcase, and prepare a bath and change clothes for me." ”

Then he turned around and arched his hand: "What do you need to do here, Dawu, just get ready." ”

Da Wu also made a strange etiquette to Su You: "No matter whether you succeed or fail, Da Song has a child like you, and you have won my respect, and I promise you what you say." ”

PS: Push the book! This time it was Lao Zhou who took the initiative, the title of the book is "Peking Opera Master", which is quite good, and the author discussed it with Lao Zhou before opening the book, and now it is on the shelves. The results are a bit like Lao Zhou's "Ravine", just got up, and those who like this kind of theme will support it.
