"Childe, the wizard Bu Xian asks to see you. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info" When Dai Yan was talking to Zhan He, Tang Yan came in and reported.

Bu Xian? Dai Yan searched in his mind for a while, and it turned out that he was the wizard who cursed Ziyan to death. To be honest, after such a thing as crossing over, Dai Yan was also a little suspicious of ghosts and gods, and he was really a little afraid of people like wizards. But escaping has never been Dai Yan's character, Dai Yan has always been a person who likes to face difficulties.

So he immediately got up and saluted Zhan He and said, "Mr. Nagging today, I have important things to do today, and I can't entertain Mr." Another day, I will definitely treat Mr. well. ”

"It's okay, Childe can handle his own business. Anyway, now that it is raining heavily in Songdi, the old decay can't leave. The old man is also quite curious about the folk customs of the Yin merchants of the Song Kingdom, and he also wants to appreciate the gentleman's style of your country. Zhan He said calmly.

Dai Yan took out a token and handed it to Zhan He, "Mr. can accept this order, don't dare to say it elsewhere, with this order, don't dare to say it elsewhere, I Fengyi will go with Mr." This can be regarded as Dai Yan's thanks to Zhan He for explaining the situation in the world to him.

"Thank you so much, Childe." Zhan He was not surprised, and quickly retreated after calmly accepting the token.

Dai Yan met with the wizard Bu Xian in the main hall. Seeing his gloomy face, he knew that this wizard Bu Xian was not easy to deal with.

"My subordinates have persuaded Gongzi before, the destiny of heaven is constant, and ghosts and gods must not be disrespected. The system of my Song Kingdom is an oath with ghosts and gods, so it cannot be taken lightly. However, Gongzi did not listen to the words of his subordinates, and despised and even insulted the ghosts and gods, so there was a great catastrophe of heavenly punishment before. Dare to ask Childe, do you know the power of ghosts and gods now? Bu Xian saw "Gongzi Ziyan", I don't know if it was an illusion, he felt that this Gongzi seemed to be a different person. However, as soon as he sat down, he spoke to Dai Yan in a threatening tone.

"The power of ghosts and gods is indeed powerful, but isn't this son still sitting here? From this, we can see that the power of ghosts and gods is also limited, and the mandate of heaven can also be transferred, so why can't the system be easier? The wizard is here today, and I don't think it's just a matter of saying hello to me, so please tell me what's going on. Dai Yan was originally a very good-tempered person, but as soon as he saw this wizard Bu Xian, his whole person couldn't help but feel angry, and his voice was extremely unpolite, as if it was the instinct of this body.

"Hehe, Childe, please don't get angry. The subordinates came here today to bring the initiative of the nobles and wizards here, because of the recent heavy rains, many places in our Fengyi have been flooded, and this is all because of the anger of the Surabaya River Boling. If you want the heavy rain to stop and the flood water to recede, you must make a good offering to Hebo. Bu Xian said indifferently.

As soon as he heard the offering, Dai Yan chuckled in his heart, this is in the era of the fourth century BC, and every "offering" means a human tragedy.

Like what was discovered in history when the Ximen Leopard of the Wei State ruled Ye, Yedi suffered from frequent floods but did not think about how to deal with it, but simply thought about saving himself from disasters in the form of pleasing ghosts and gods. However, as a descendant of Yin Shang, the Song State can be said to be unparalleled in the entire Chinese country in terms of worship of ghosts and gods.

To what extent did the Song Kingdom worship ghosts and gods? Song Xianggong, who was scolded in history as a "stupid pig-style benevolence", also rose to prominence before the war with Chu, and he helped Zhao the crown prince of Qi to ascend to the position of the monarch of Qi, so he became famous. Then he invited the countries around the Song State to hold an alliance, and the princes needed sacrifices, so he directly arrested the monarch of the Yan State and killed him directly outside Suishui to sacrifice. Like the country where the princes were directly martyred by the monarch of another country during the alliance of princes, only the Song State was the only one in the Spring and Autumn Period. It can be seen that the Song Kingdom respected the tradition of ghosts and gods.

"So how do you worship the Surabaya River?" Dai Yan suppressed the anger in his body and asked.

"If it rains heavily today, Fengyi suffers a disaster, this is because we were disrespectful to the ghosts and gods before, and Heboling is angry to have this consequence. If we want to avoid disasters, we need to bribe Hebo with money, worship Hebo with food, and please Hebo with beautiful women. Therefore, the subordinates implored the prince to order the collection of the disaster money for the people to worship Hebo, three yuan per household; Then ask the son to prepare five grains and five animals as the sacrifice of Hebo; In the end, it is also necessary for the son to choose a girl from Benyi to be the wife of Hebo. In this way, the heavy rain in the sky can stop, and the flood disaster can be subsided in time. Bu Xian said lightly, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.

"I can understand collecting taxes and preparing grains and sacrifices. With the maiden as a living sacrifice to Hebo, didn't the wizard receive the king's decree? Now that the entire Song Kingdom strictly forbids the use of living people as sacrifices, is it true that the sorcerer wants to openly disobey the king's orders? Dai Yan's face was full of anger.

Speaking of which, after Zixi obtained the power of the Song Kingdom, he actually saw the complete collapse of the whole world's etiquette, and the wars between countries became more and more frequent and cruel. And such a cruel act of human martyrdom has always been condemned by people of insight in the world, even though there is a strong tradition of human martyrdom in the Song Kingdom, he still issued a decree prohibiting the martyrdom of living people under pressure. However, the Song State was a traditional large country of the Gong clan, and the Gong clan had always had a strong influence in the local area, and whether this kind of law could be strictly implemented was up to the benevolent and the wise.

"Childe, only by doing this can you satisfy Hebo." Bu Xian said to Dai Yan with an expression on his face that I am thinking about you.

"What if I don't say yes?"

"Childe has forgotten the punishment of the gods, and if Childe can be lucky enough to get a life, he should be more grateful to the gods, and now he has not forgotten to eliminate the malice of the ghosts and gods towards our Fengyi, Childe, you are going to drag our entire Fengyi into the water." As a sage like this, we know how powerful this kind of thing is, so I will naturally ask others to help do it well. Bu Xian said calmly.

Ah, this is trying to put me in the air, Dai Yan thought with hatred in his heart. Thinking of the nobles who had been fighting against him before, Dai Yan felt that the threat Bu Xian said might not be a lie, and these nobles had already begun to collude with this magic stick. If he can't gain a firm foothold in his own fiefdom, then he will probably become a pure joke in the entire Song Kingdom in the future, and become a wasted person with the name of a prince but no substantive son.

"Since the wizard keeps talking about the punishment of the gods, and the calamity I suffer is also the punishment of the gods, then the wizard must be able to control the power of the gods?" Dai Yan pondered for a moment in his mind, his mind began to become clear, and he asked calmly.

"The villain is just a slave of the gods, so he can understand the ghosts and gods slightly, and slightly predict the consequences of angering the ghosts and gods, where can he talk about controlling the power of the gods?" Bu Xian was a little strange, things like Ziyan angering the gods should be his taboo, why did Ziyan mention this matter himself?

"Hehe, are you also worthy to be called a slave of the gods? The fact that I did not die because of the power of the gods shows that God forgave me. A man like me is worthy to be called a servant of God, but where is your villain? Dai Yan felt that he had grasped the key point, and if he wanted to integrate into this era, he had to adapt to the thinking of the people of this era.

"Childe is really joking, the matter of communicating with the gods has always been the private inheritance of wizards such as us, and Childe can't even communicate with ghosts and gods, so how can he become a servant?"

"How do you know I can't communicate with the gods? Let me tell you the truth, during the time I was unconscious, I had already spoken to the gods, and the gods felt that my life should not be decided, so they let me back. Do you have that kind of ability, a villain? Dai Yan said calmly.

"Hey, Childe, you are blaspheming again, be careful that there will be a heavy punishment the next day." Bu Xian's face was not full of joy and anger, and he began to cast his curse again. Anyway, as long as it works the next day, it will be his "miracle" again.

"Bu Xian, this son has put up with you for a long time." Dai Yan took the case. "Since you believe that Ben Gongzi will be punished by the gods, then Ben Gongzi will accept the test of the gods as you say. However, you keep saying that you are a slave of the gods and can talk to the gods, so you can come with this son to accept the test of the gods. The tree outside the east gate of our Fengyi is the tallest tree, and that tree is often struck by thunder from the sky, and copper can lead to thunder and lightning. You and I will go to the tree five days later, and the two of us will bear the thunder and lightning with our bodies at the same time, will you dare to agree? ”

"Childe, villain...

"You're agreeing." When Bu Xian was thinking about it and preparing to delay, Dai Yan cut off Bu Xian's retreat in one bite. "Tang Marting." "Childe, the villain is here." Tang Yan has been standing behind Dai Yan, and when he saw Bu Xian's attitude, his face was already full of anger, but because Dai Yan had never given him any instructions, he had been silent.

"Immediately issue a notice to tell the nobles and people of Quanyi that in five days, Bengongzi and the sorcerer Bu Xian will greet the power of heavenly thunder with their bodies outside the east gate of Benyi at the same time, and the two of us will be tested by the gods at the same time. I'd like to see who is more favored by the gods, Ben Gongzi or Bu Xian. Dai Yan commanded categorically.

"Childe, this is too dangerous, you are a panicked nobleman, after Xuanniao, Bu Xian is just a little Bu Wu, where is he qualified to gamble with Childe. And His Majesty once heard: A person who has been scalded when drinking hot soup is wary, and when he sees cold vegetables and meat, he will blow it, which is called punishment and blowing. Childe, you've been struck by lightning once, don't do this unwise act again! Tang Ying didn't go out, and immediately admonished Dai Yan.

"Tang Ying, my son knows your loyalty to me. But I have heard: A soldier can be killed, but not dishonored. I am a dignified son of the Song Kingdom, how can I be insulted by a villain like Bu Xian? Do as I command it now! ”

Tang Ying wanted to persuade again, but when he saw the cold and firm look in Dai Yan's eyes, he knew that it was useless to persuade him. Alas, he is a person who is ready to die anyway, so why not die again? Tang Ying thought silently.

"No." Tang Ying went out with firmness in his tone and a resolute expression on his face.
