Wuluo Zhongli Mountain is independent and steep, and there is a dark and damp cave on its north and south sides, which is called the red hole and the black hole. It is said that 2,000 years ago, the ancestors of Ba Shi and Fan, Fang, Xiang, and Zheng Si came out of these two caves.

At that time, the ancestors of the Ba people "did not have a king, but all the ghosts and gods", and they made a living by picking fruits, fishing, hunting, and also operating simple slash-and-burn agriculture. People gather in the mountains and live by the water, and the villages and villages are dotted. However, because the fruits of the mountains cannot be harvested in all seasons, the hunting in the forest is unstable, and there is less and less land to cultivate by slash and burn, people often go hungry.

As the beasts in the mountains became fewer and fewer, and the fish in the water became smaller and smaller, the Ba people of the five clans began to gather to discuss: for the reproduction and growth of the clan, they need to elect a monarch who can lead the five clans to lead everyone to leave Wuluo Zhongli Mountain, go to the unknown world outside, and find an ideal country where "a hundred grains gather"!

They called the imaginary fertile land "Didi".

So under the auspices of the wizard, the five clans selected their most powerful warriors and gathered together, instead of going to the mountains to fight tigers and catch fish underwater; The equipment for the competition did not choose to carry large trees and lift stones, which the masses like to see, but threw swords and floating boats......

It's all today.

Fan Yu, Ba Zhong and the princes of all the tribes, from the foot of Wuluo Zhongli Mountain, along the west side of the mountain up about a mile, saw a stone cave. The cave ** vines are entangled, guarding a few witch blessings, holding torches to lead the way.

This stone cave is no longer the ancient of more than 1,000 years ago, but is painted with a variety of color paints filled with many murals: there is the legend of the origin of the Ba people, there are the ancestors of the red and black caves, and many years ago the son of the five clans threw a sword here to determine the scene of the leader.

The Ba people have no writing, so they rely on this way of telling stories by looking at pictures and telling stories, passing on the events of 2,000 years ago from generation to generation, so that people should not forget the things of their ancestors.

The stone cave is wider than it looks from the outside, so they walked more than a hundred steps inside, and finally arrived at the innermost, but they saw that this place was very cheerful, more than ten zhang wide, and there were several hollows in the top of the cave, letting the sunlight in.

Two large stone moraines, one red and one black, stand here side by side, separated by one zhang.

This is the Yin and Yang Stone, and the Ba people regard these two stones as sacred stones. Under the instructions of the witch, everyone went over to touch it with their hands, the yin stone is moist all year round, and can even ooze water, while the yang stone is dry all year round, and the blood stains dripping on it during the sacrifice will quickly dry up.

In the middle of the two stones of yin and yang, there is a huge wooden target, which is the target of the sword.

At this time, the witch spoke: "Gentlemen and grandsons, the Ba people have always decided the affairs of the tribe in the stone caves, and this custom has been passed down from countless years ago, and it is still the case today, and no one dares to disobey it. ”

"In the past, the sons of the five clans threw swords in the stone cave, and agreed that those who could throw them would be regarded as the kings of the five clans. In the end, the Bab son was the only one, and everyone was impressed. He also ordered the people to ride in earthen boats, and agreed that those who could float should be kings. The four of them were all sinking, but they were the only ones who floated alone, so everyone set up to be the king, and they were the first generation of kings! ”

"Now that the Emperor is gone, the country of Pakistan is dead, and the people of Pakistan are scattered. But we are the only ones who follow the ancient path, some of you support the annexation of Qin, and some of you support the attachment of Chu, arguing with each other endlessly, causing disputes for Wuluo Zhongli Mountain, and the blood of the clansmen has been shed enough, and this situation cannot continue! Just today, we are in the stone cave, in the two stones of yin and yang, in front of the ancestral gods, to decide the fate of all the tribes by throwing swords! Those who can win can decide whether the tribes are attached to Qin or Chu! ”

It looked like a child's play, but no one objected, and Fan Yu laughed even more when he heard this.

He was a proud warrior of the Ba people, looking at the tribe of Yishui for hundreds of miles, no one was braver than him, and no one was more accurate in throwing his sword than him, in his opinion, this was simply a method made in heaven for him, it was from the favoritism of witches and ancestors.

All the weapons were unloaded at the entrance of the cave, and the witches presented the short swords they threw at them, and let everyone who participated in the throwing of the sword hold one for each.

"I'll come first!"

As the largest local tribal ruler, Fan Yu unceremoniously picked up a handful and bowed to the witch: "I will not let the Great Witch down!" ”

The witch can be said to have grown up watching Fan Yu, and she is also optimistic about him as the head of the local tribes, but at this moment, she just pursed her mouth, and the thick color on her face couldn't see through the expression.

Fan Bird didn't notice anything unusual, he was burly, holding a short sword, aiming at the wooden target between the two stones of yin and yang, waving his hand and throwing it, hitting the bull's-eye!

"Hit!"

Fan Bird laughed proudly, but when he turned around, he found that the people behind him were not cheering for him as usual, but looking at him gloomily......

Things happened suddenly, as if they had been discussed, and the chiefs of the various departments suddenly rushed up, and instead of throwing their swords, they aimed the short swords in their hands at Fan Yu, and stabbed the swords into his chest and abdomen!

Ba Zhong also stepped forward and stabbed a sword, but before he could hurt Fan Yu, he let out a loud cry and kicked Ba Zhong away! The rest of the people who tried to suppress Fan Yu were also pushed to the ground!

Like a wounded tiger, the Ba warrior repelled the attackers with his bare hands, retreated to the Yin-Yang Stone, holding on to the Yangshi, clutching the wound in his chest and abdomen, panting, the blood in his hands staining the dry stone red.

This meeting was something Fan Yu never expected, he had expected that the divided departments might merge in Wuluo Zhongli Mountain, so he brought a lot of people over in case of accidents. But he never thought that everyone would use knives against him in the sacred stone cave, next to the Yin and Yang Stone, under the gaze of the spirit of the ancestors!

"The Great Witch ......"

Fan Bird looked at the witch who was watching the fire on the side, but did not say anything to stop it, as if he understood everything, and everyone was able to do all this, naturally because of the acquiescence of the wizard.

"Why do you lose your trust?"

The witch opened her dry lips and muttered, "The first generation of the Emperor was also treacherous and shot the Salt Water Goddess, all for the sake of the tribes and the clansmen. ”

The Ba people are no longer what they used to be, and the population can migrate, but their ancestral land cannot be moved, so the Yidaoba people can only choose between the Chu State and the Qin State to attach to, in order to continue to stay here.

Previously, the tribes were instigated by Fan Yu to raise troops to fight against Qin, but it turned out that this was a reckless decision, just a small Yidao City, they could not defeat it, and Qin was not as vulnerable as the envoys of Chu State persuaded to attack.

If the Qin people settle accounts and send a large army to attack, they may force the Ba people to leave Wuluo Zhongli Mountain, which is unacceptable in the eyes of the witch.

Besides, compared to the worship of Fan Birds, the money and silk treasures that the widow Qing of Bajun asks people to offer every year are much richer. At the beginning, it was also the witch who informed Ba's horse team about Fan Yu's intention to rebel against Qin, and asked them to tell the widow Qing that she wanted to send someone to intervene.

Although Ba Zhong was a step late, the killing of Qin officials and the attack on Yi Dao were all done by Fan Yu, and it was not too late for the others to turn back now......

So under the tandem of the witch and Ba Zhong, a conspiracy that can make the tribes "less bloodless" emerge.

Fan Yu suddenly understood that he had misestimated the loyalty of the people to the Zufa Ancient Road, the Ba people were originally just a small tribe downstream of Yishui, in order to find better land, they scavenged in the harsh natural environment while fighting against neighboring tribes, and unswervingly migrated to the west and north, and it took two thousand years to grow and develop.

In this long journey, they have experienced unimaginable tragic battles, countless hardships and dangers, and conspiracy and treachery are indispensable.

The sorcerers and leaders of the Ba people, in their brave recklessness, also brought a touch of cunning.

Just like more than 2,000 years ago, in order to annex the tribe of Yanyang, the Emperor of Yanyang seized that land, and designed to shoot his wife, the Salt Water Goddess, who was committed to him.

"Mr. Di...... Let people the green wisps to leave the salt god and say: 'This is suitable, the cloud and the woman are born, it is appropriate to go', and the salt god is retained. On the Liyang Stone, the green wisps should be shot at it, the salt god, the salt god is dead, and the sky is wide open! ”

This is the fate of Fan Bird!

Fan Yu was still unwilling: "Didn't Da Wu say many years ago that I might be able to integrate all the ministries and become the new Emperor?" ”

With the help of the Chu people, rebuilding the country of Ba is also the purpose of his army against Qin, but who would have expected that he was naked betrayed today!

"What is a gentleman?"

The witch silently did not answer, but Ba Zhong said: "Gu Zang is called Cang, Mi Zang is called Xia, this is the name that the ancestors came up with when they were not yet fed and clothed, and I hope that the elected monarch can lead them to do something practical, store more food, and avoid hunger." ”

"Therefore, the one who can make the Ba people full of food and live and work in peace and contentment is the king of the Heavens! And you, however, will only lead the Yidaoba people to decay and destruction! ”

With the acquiescence of the witch, the chiefs of the tribes, armed with bloody swords, continued to surround Fan Yu, who was already seriously injured.

Under the reflection of the torches, only their hideous shadows were reflected on the stone wall, those sharp weapons rose and fell, and the unwilling angry shouts of the birds became weaker and weaker, and finally they were silent......

……

When the envoy of Chu was carried into the stone cave by Danhu with one hand, he saw that Fan Yu had died between the two stones of Yin and Yang, and his head had been cut off, and he was held by a witch with trembling hands, and was dedicated to the black man who pretended to be a Ba man......

The envoy of Chu was shocked, and Heifu was also amazed.

"It's really not particular at all."

Heifu looked at the head of the rebel in front of him, and then looked at the Yin-Yang Stone stained red with blood, he didn't expect that the Ba people would adopt this method and kill Fan Yu, as a proof of their determination to return to Qin.

However, it is indeed very effective, capturing the thief and capturing the king first, so that the Qin army does not have to spend several months slowly clearing the mountains and forests.

At the same time as Fan Yu's blood splashed in the stone cave, there was also a fire at the foot of Wuluo Zhongli Mountain, and the troops launched an attack on Fan Yu's subordinates, and after a fight, all the Ba warriors brought by Fan Yu were killed, and the envoy of Chu called "Qu Yuan" was captured!

Heifu believes that from this person's mouth, he should be able to interrogate the details of the Chu State this time to provoke the Yidaoba people to rebel and send troops to the tomb.

"Left soldier Cao Shi."

Ba Zhong was also stained with blood, and arched his hand: "The Great Witch and the Monarchs asked me to ask, in this way, can you prove the determination of the Yidao Ba people to return to the Qin State?" ”

Everyone looked at Heifu, according to the agreement, the conditions for the return of the tribes to the Qin State were to kill Fan Yu, and then help the government to destroy Fan Yu's tribe, and the population and territory could be divided among them.

Hafu asked Ba Chung to translate his words.

"The county magistrate and the county lieutenant of Yidao were all ambushed and died, this matter has never happened before! Although the Ministries were only forced to assist Fan Yu, they still could not completely exonerate themselves. ”

This remark sparked a burst of discussion among everyone, and Ba Zhong hurriedly reassured everyone, and said: "Then what does it take for the government to forgive?" ”

Heifu smiled and said his final condition: "It's very simple, after eliminating the Fan Bird Tribe, all the tribes will dispatch all the young and strong, under the leadership of the monarchs, and follow me eastward. Cooperate with the army of county captains to relieve the siege of the tomb! This move can prove that the Ba people are the obedient people of Qin, not a rebel, so I will definitely be able to convince the county guard to let the Ba people continue to thrive in Yidao! The previous oath promised that everything would be as it was! ”
