At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, in the city of Xudu, in the prime minister's mansion, it was a good time for the plum blossoms to fall and the green plums to cook wine, but the sky was not beautiful, and a thunderclap suddenly sounded in the clear and clear sky, interrupting the interest of the two scribes who were talking in the small pavilion. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

", it's thunder!"

One of them suddenly pointed to the sky and said. The man looked dignified and wide-eyed, with straight facial features, red lips and white teeth, and a pair of big ears that continued to tremble with the voice, and at this time he was looking down at the bamboo chopsticks that had slipped from his hands, and the shadow covered his panicked and fearful eyes.

"Xuande, the eldest husband was born in the world, why was he frightened like this by a thunderbolt."

The big-eared scribe was none other than Liu Bei, and opposite him sat a somewhat wealthy middle-aged man, the middle-aged man's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and the corners of his mouth were slightly mockingly curved in just the right arc, but this could not hide the murderous aura he exuded from the depths of his eyes, and he had already decided that as long as the other party's answer was slightly wrong, he would definitely kill the other party in the small pavilion.

"The power of heaven and earth is too huge, and the power of a shock is so terrifying, I have to be in awe!"

Bending down to pick up the bamboo chopsticks that had slipped to the ground, Liu Bei sat up straight again, his eyes were as calm as water, and there was no trace of panic in the slightest.

"Hahaha~~"

The rich middle-aged man laughed, and even the terrifying murderous aura dissipated without a trace.

"Xuande, your guts are too small......"

Before the middle-aged man finished speaking, a burst of footsteps suddenly sounded outside the small pavilion, and the footsteps were hurried and did not stop, obviously there was something urgent in the hearts of the people. The two people in the pavilion put down the cups in their hands and looked out of the pavilion together, only to see a young man who was eight feet tall and had a white face and no need to wear the inner clothes of the palace was walking quickly to this side, his head was lowered down, his eyes were staring at the ground, Liu Bei could easily see from his eyes that he was preoccupied.

"Dezu, why are you so alarmed?"

The middle-aged man opened his mouth and said, he is Cao Cao, the prime minister of the dynasty, one person is above ten thousand people, even if he does not do it deliberately, but the temperament of the person who has been in the top position for a long time is naturally revealed.

The young man known as Dezu is the prime minister's mansion lord Bo Yang Xiu, this person is very good at witty, but the fly in the ointment is that although he is wise, he is a little resourceful, feeling the powerful momentum exuded in front of him, he suddenly stood in place, Huo raised his head and looked up, only to see that the two people in the small pavilion were turning their heads to look at themselves, one of them needless to say was naturally his master Cao Cao Cao Mengde, but the other person looked strange but he had not seen it.

"Dezu...... Ahem! ”

Cao Cao coughed lightly twice as a reminder, and Yang Xiu hurriedly withdrew his gaze, bent down and bowed with both hands together.

"Prime Minister, I have something important to report to the Prime Minister."

After speaking, Yang Xiu was speechless, he put his eyes on Liu Bei, and hinted to Cao Cao that he could only tell the other party about his affairs alone.

At the same time that Yang Xiu looked at Liu Bei, Liu Bei was also looking at the other party, and naturally, Yang Xiu's hint to Cao Cao was also seen in his eyes.

"Prime Minister." Liu Bei stood up and bowed respectfully, "Since the prime minister has something important to do, Xuande won't bother here, I'll leave first." ”

"Xuande, don't leave in a hurry, it's just a trivial matter, you can also listen to it from the sidelines." Cao Cao smiled and said to Liu Bei that after what happened just now, he had no killing intent towards Liu Bei for the time being, but after thinking about it, Cao Cao continued, "However, you have been staying in my Prime Minister's Mansion, and your two brothers are probably very worried, so it is better for you to go back as soon as possible." ”

Liu Bei bent down and bowed again, this time with a more respectful attitude than before.

"Prime Minister, I'm very safe in your mansion, Prime Minister, how can I worry about my two brothers!"

Hearing this, Cao Cao nodded, his defensive heart against Liu Bei was finally completely dispelled, he waved his hand to signal Liu Bei to leave, and Liu Bei bowed again and turned around and walked out of the small pavilion.

Liu Bei walked out along the stone steps and path, and when he came to Yang Xiu's side, he squinted his eyes and looked at Yang Xiu, and then left the Prime Minister's Mansion without stopping.

Seeing that Liu Bei was completely far away, Cao Cao beckoned to Yang Xiu, who was standing outside the pavilion, and motioned for the other party to approach and speak.

"Dezu, why are you in such a hurry? Yuan Shao raised troops? ”

Yang Xiu shook his head.

"Oh, Yuan Shu has moved?"

Yang Xiu shook his head again.

"Oh, Lu Bu has violated my border again?"

Yang Xiu still shook his head.

Cao Cao was unhappy at this time, his face sank, and his eyes were not angry.

Yang Xiu lowered his head from beginning to end, not noticing that Cao Cao's discoloration had become less beautiful.

"Dezu, you better tell it straight, what happened?"

Cao Cao's temperament was not bad, he couldn't hold back and didn't have an immediate attack, he wanted to hear what Yang Xiu wanted to say.

"Prime Minister, in fact, it was a thunderbolt on a sunny day just now that knocked a person on East Street to the ground."

Yang Xiu finally spoke.

"Oh, Yang Xiu, do you still need to report me for such a trivial matter?"

Cao Cao's face became even more ugly, his voice was a little low, and a monstrous anger was brewing inside.

"Prime Minister, since ancient times, auspicious rui is prosperous, and the bad omen is unknown, today is a good sunny day and a thunderbolt suddenly falls, this is an ominous omen, and I hope that the prime minister will send a list to calm the people, in case of accidents."

Yang Xiu finally felt the unkindness in Cao Cao's tone, he was shocked into a cold sweat, and he didn't dare to hide it anymore.

Hearing Yang Xiu's words, Cao Cao's face softened slightly, this matter can be big or small, it is indeed not a small matter that can be perfunctory if it is related to the hearts of the people. Cao Cao touched his beard, patted his forehead gently, and suddenly turned to laugh again.

"Why is the prime minister laughing?"

Yang Xiu asked puzzled.

"Thunderbolts fall from the sky, this is an occasional thing, and most of them are provoked by people who are split, this thing is easy to do, you write a list for me, just say so and so ......"

waited until Cao Cao finished speaking, Yang Xiu suddenly realized, he hurriedly bowed and turned around to do what he was told.

Cao Cao was the only one left in the small pavilion, his eyes wandering as if he was thinking about what had just happened.

"O man who has been struck by lightning!"

Cao Cao smiled bitterly, picked up the cup, put it to his lips and took a sip, and suddenly spilled all the wine in the cup outside the pavilion.

"Phew! This wine is terrible! ”

………

Xudu East Street, this street can be called one of the most prosperous main roads in Xudu City, there are all kinds of shops on both sides of the street, four of the largest green buildings in Xudu are also located here, the names of the four green buildings are "Yihong", "Lichun", "Qingmeng" and "Piaoxiang", of course, it is noon at this moment, these green buildings should be closed at this time as usual.

But for some reason, one of the four green buildings, "Qingmengyuan", is full of passers-by at the moment, they are in a circle and constantly pointing, the people in front are in full swing, and the people in the back stretch their necks and want to squeeze in to see.

"Look, this is the end of all the bad things, and God won't let him go."

"Yes, yes, you must have done all the evil things!"

"Maybe it's that Wang San, this guy has disappeared for a while recently, and everyone is a lot more relaxed, it turns out that he ran here to be struck by lightning!"

"Hahaha......"

Everyone laughed when they said this, and all the anger and humiliation they had suffered in the past were vented.

In the middle of the circle formed by the crowd, a young man with a full body **** was lying on his back, his skin was abnormally black, and a stench with a burning smell was constantly spreading out from his body, obviously being struck by lightning, but no one in the crowd of onlookers stepped forward to help, no matter who this person was, he was thunderbolted in the hearts of ordinary people, that is, he was punished by heaven, and whoever dared to help the person who was punished by heaven would definitely not end well.

"But it's not good to just leave it there!"

A man in the crowd suddenly came up, and the crowd of onlookers was cold and quiet, yes, it is certainly not okay to throw the dead man into the street, but who wants to bother with this matter.

At that moment, a group of soldiers in black cloth and red leather armor pushed and broke in, and the leader was a bearded man, and as soon as he entered the crowd, he tore his rough voice.

"Okay, okay, don't look at it, it's all gone, the Prime Minister has an order, the people who were killed by lightning on East Street are heinous wicked, and they should be buried in a mass grave as soon as possible."

Hearing that it was the people from the Prime Minister's Mansion, the people scattered in a hurry, and now although there is a Son of Heaven in this city, even ordinary people know that what the Son of Heaven said does not count, and Prime Minister Cao Cheng is the one who speaks.

Seeing that everyone was almost gone, the bearded man looked down at the man lying on his back.

"Yo, it's really not light to be struck by lightning, I don't know what sins I did in my last life, brother, you are also a poor person!"

Saying this, the bearded man was silent, and he waved his hand to signal the two soldiers to come forward.

"You, you, you two are responsible for carrying this man to a mass grave and burying him."

The two people who were pointed out looked bitter, this is not a good errand, to say that the mass grave, I don't know how many people are buried, even in broad daylight, it is very eerie and terrifying, but how can the captain say it be violated, the two of them held their breath and lifted the man who was struck by lightning and walked quickly towards the mass grave outside the city.

Walk straight along the East Street all the way to the east, and it will take less than ten minutes to come to the east gate of Xudu, where a pair of soldiers are strictly checking everyone entering and leaving the city gate. Cao Cao is suspicious, he is very concerned about the safety of Xu Du, anyone who wants to enter and exit the gate without holding the prime minister's warrant must be subject to very strict inspection, but there are always exceptions, and people are sophisticated everywhere.

"Ergou, black bag, what are you carrying, it's going to smoke Lao Tzu to death."

When the two soldiers were about to approach the city gate carrying the man who had been struck by lightning, a middle-aged man in bronze armor walked out of the city gate guards, this middle-aged man obviously knew the two, he said hello and wanted to get closer, but when he was still a few meters away, he was covered by the stench that emanated.

"Brother Huzi, tolerance, tolerance!"

Ergou exhaled and said hurriedly, and then he stopped speaking and held his breath again,

"Go, go, go!"

The middle-aged man known as Brother Huzi waved to the two while covering his nose and signaled to hurry through, and finally he made a gesture to the soldiers on duty at the city gate to let them go directly, so the two of them trotted out of the city gate under the angry eyes of everyone at the city gate.

Out of the city gate and then to the east is a jujube forest, from time to time in the jujube forest can meet farmers carrying farm tools and hard work, the destination of the two dogs and black bags is definitely not here, continue to move forward into the depths of the jujube forest, the depth is a wasteland that has been abandoned, originally this wasteland is also a good field, but with years of development, this land is slowly not suitable for continuing to grow food.

The deserted land gradually became a place for bones to be buried, and every year unclaimed corpses for various reasons were buried here at will, and over time a mass grave was formed here, because it was often used to bury corpses, the environment here was gradually changed, and the yin qi emitted from the corpses gathered together to make this place look very eerie even in the daytime, and the destination of the two dogs and the black bag was there.

The yin wind whistled by, and the two of them did not dare to speak easily since they came to the vicinity of the mass grave, there were gods three feet above, and the underworld was the greatest, and they were afraid of bringing misfortune to themselves.

The croaking of crows hovered above the two of them, and the cold air continued to stimulate the fragile nerves of the two of them, and the scene here was too terrifying, full of graves, and Sensen's white bones sometimes exposed a half horn from the mound, as if they were trying to crawl out of the mound.

"I can't do this errand!"

Ergou said suddenly, his teeth chattered a little, and his legs were like lead, and he couldn't exert any strength.

"I don't want to go any further!"

The black bag agreed.

"Then ......"

Ergou glanced at the black bag, and then looked at the person who was struck by lightning in his hand.

"It's all the fault of this thunderstorm, our brothers are not as good as ......"

At this moment, the body of the person who was originally motionless and was carried in his hands by the two trembled, and the startled two stood in place.

"Ergou, did you just feel something?"

The cold sweat of the black bag flowed down, and he trembled and asked the second dog who walked in front.

"No...... Impossible! ”

Ergou was even more unbearable, in addition to his stammering, his legs also began to tremble.

"Water......... Water ........."

At this moment, a faint voice appeared in the ears of the two of them, hoarse and low, like the cry of a soul in hell. The two of them threw down the person they were carrying in their hands in fright, turned around and ran out.

"Help, haunted......"

There was a cry in his voice, and it seemed that he was frightened.

The young man who was struck by lightning was thrown down by the two and fell heavily to the ground, this fall didn't matter, it actually made the man open his eyes.

A pair of bloodshot eyes appeared on the black face, and the stinking body sat up, his arms stiffly stretched forward, his dry lips squirming up and down, and finally squeezed out a little sound.

"Water...... Where is the water? ”
