As the protagonist of this incident, Xiong Huai also broke out in a nervous cold sweat.

The current era is not the era of the supremacy of science, most people, all people are superstitious, you know, even the Confucian children who worship ghosts and gods and stay away are also the most proficient in sacrificial etiquette, and Xiong Huai himself has experienced three major superstitious incidents.

The first is that the king of Qin sacrificed to the sky and cursed him, the king of Chu, the second is that the king of Song gave birth to a big bird and deceived all the people of the Song Kingdom, and finally, before the prince got married, the Chu State also carried out major divination.

More importantly, there are two most important things in a country based on the current universal values, that is, Confucius said that the worship is in Rong, and the sacrifice is still ranked before the military.

The worst thing is that Chu is also a particularly superstitious country, and the objects of sacrifice, in addition to their ancestors, other important gods, in addition to the supreme god Donghuang Taiyi, Nuwa is also an important deity. Of course, as the king of Chu, Nuwa has not yet entered the sacrificial sequence of Xionghuai, but in the folk or localities, there are many people who sacrifice Nuwa.

The legend of Nuwa mending the sky spread hundreds of years ago. And the story of Nuwa creating people is now widely spread in the world, at this time there is no legend of Pangu opening the sky, if the Eastern Emperor Taiyi represents the sky, then the status of Nuwa, who created people to make up for the sky, has begun to catch up with the earth.

Therefore, Zhaoyu has already made Xu Xing three people think of the five-color glass as the five-color stone, and the five-color stone as auspicious, and the other people look at the five-color jade, the first reaction is the five-color stone.

Now, what Xiong Huai is worried about is that if the people of Chu know that the king of Chu has broken the five-colored stone that Nuwa used to mend the sky, and they are worried that the sky will fall, Xiong Huai is afraid that his prestige will be severely damaged.

Now, even if Xiong Huai says that what he just broke is a piece of glass, I'm afraid that other people will not think that the king of Chu wants to cover his ears and steal the bell.

As for the fact that the five-color stone is refined, this is even less of a matter, because the five-color stone was originally refined by Nuwa.

Therefore, the most important thing now is to mix up the matter of breaking the five-color stone, and just say anything, even if it is to deceive yourself.

Xiong Huai thought about it, rolled his eyes, and under the gaze of Zhaoyu, he took off the treasure jade he was wearing from his body, and then smashed it on the ground, and after smashing it to pieces, he sighed loudly: "The widow saw the five-color stone refined by Nuwa today, and only then did he know that there is such a beautiful jade in the world, even if it was the Heshi Bi offered by Bian He in the past, in front of the five-color jade, it was just a stubborn stone." ”

As he spoke, Xiong Huai announced loudly: "Only the five-colored stones refined by Nuwa are worthy of the identity of a widow, and other stubborn stones, don't do it!" ”

After speaking, Xiong Huai took out another piece of glass, no, five-color stone, and then said to Li Qiu, who was bowing down on the side: "Si Gong, hand over the five-color stone to the Dianyi, let the Dianyi deal with it, and the widow will wear the five-color stone in the future." ”

At this time, Li Qiu fell to the ground in a daze, and he hadn't reacted from the shock.

As soon as Zhao Yu heard the words of the King of Chu, he then looked down and saw the broken jade and broken stones scattered all over the ground, and his heart moved, and he immediately understood what the King of Chu meant.

As long as the king of Chu does not smash the five-color stone, the people and nobles naturally do not have to worry about the state of Chu being convicted by the king of Chu.

Thinking about it, Zhao Yu immediately understood, took three steps forward, and said: "King Yingming, with this five-color stone, the other jade stones are just stubborn stones. ”

As he spoke, Zhao Yu untied the jade he was carrying from him, and threw it hard at the place where the five-colored stone was broken, that is, the jade was smashed into pieces.

Then he said, "Don't want such stubborn stones." ”

Zhaoyu's jade fragments splashed on Li Qiu's head again, Li Qiu listened to the song and harmony between the king of Chu and Sikong, and suddenly realized that the meaning of the king of Chu's words meant that the king of Chu did not plan to kill people and keep it secret.

So, with a long exhale, he replied, "Yui! ”

At this time, the two of them also reacted, and said together: "The king is wise, and the identity of the king cannot be demonstrated without five-color stones." ”

Xu Xing stepped back after expressing his attitude, but he paused for a moment.

Compared with the doctrine of the peasants, their Mo family attaches more importance to ghosts and gods, although now the king of Chu has just broken jade instead of five-color stone, but, in fact, just now the king of Chu is five-color stone, this kind of thing can deceive people, can it still deceive ghosts and gods?

The matter of the King of Chu breaking the five-color stone, is that it!

Thinking about it, he took another step forward and saluted: "King, the five-colored stone is Nuwa's thing to make up for the sky, and it is the most precious treasure in the world, and now this treasure is in the hands of Chu State, it cannot be said that it is not Nuwa's gift." ”

"Therefore, the minister thought that in order to thank Nuwa, he should build a temple for Nuwa, and invite the king to go in person, and sacrifice Nuwa with ether labor."

After the tooth finished speaking, he still had palpitations, worried that the heavens would blame the two Zhaoyu Xu Xing of the Chu State, and immediately realized that the meaning of the tooth was not only thanks, but also the meaning of asking for sin.

Otherwise, why let the king of Chu go to sacrifice in person!

Thinking about it, Zhao Yu agreed and further added: "Great King, what Zuo Gong said is reasonable, but if it is just too hard, the minister thinks that he will not be able to express his gratitude to Nuwa, so this sacrifice should raise the specifications of Nuwa, and the two taijiao (two cows) should be sacrificed." ”

Xu Xing echoed when he heard this: "King, what Sikong said is reasonable. ”

"Two too strong?" Xiong Huai was taken aback, normally speaking, two cows are the specifications of sacrificing to the heavens and the four gods (white, green, yellow, and red emperors).

In order to sacrifice Nuwa, two cows were used, so isn't it offending the heavens?

Is this the rhythm of one lie, and then another lie to make up for it!

After a pause, Xiong Huai was surprised: "If it is to sacrifice Nuwa with two prisons, then what about sacrificing to the Eastern Emperor Taiyi and the gods of the Quartet?" ”

Zhao Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "King, then it's better to use the three Taitai." ”

“···”

Looking at the nervous expressions of the three Zhaoyu, Xiong Huai was silent for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes." Sikong, the matter of building a temple for Nuwa will be left to you. Once the temple is completed, then the widow will go to worship Nuwa in person and sacrifice her to two prisons. ”

"Now that the temple has not yet been completed, Sikong can send an order to Taibu to prepare a cow, a sheep, and a pig, and five days later, the widow will go to the bank of the river to sacrifice Nuwa."

The three of Zhaoyu bowed and said, "The king is wise! ”

After calming everyone down, Xiong Huai asked, "Sikong, the widow has a question, I don't know where Sikong got this five-colored stone?" ”

Hearing King Chu's inquiry, Zhao Yu showed a look of resentment: "Great King, where did these two five-colored stones get from Yan Zong, the magician who developed the glaze. ”

Xiong Huai was stunned for a moment and asked, "Fang Warlock?" Yan Zong? Who is this? ”

Zhao Yu responded: "The king, I was ordered by the king to develop the glaze, and I specially invited several magicians from the land of Qi Yan, and this Yan Sect is one of them. ”

"Today, Yan Zong died suddenly while refining the pill in his residence, and then, the guards found some colored glass in his Dan furnace, and then, the guards found more colored glass and five-color stones in his residence, and these two five-colored stones are the best of the five-color stones, so the minister specially dedicated these two pieces to the king."

When Zhao Yu talked about this situation, the color of resentment was overflowing.

The situation is obvious, this warlock of the Yan Kingdom has obviously found the secret recipe for refining Liuli, but he has kept it a secret and hidden this matter.
