Before and after the transition from primitive society to slave society, many primitive habits were inherited, including the sacrifice of people to the gods. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Info used as human sacrifice people, generally prisoners of war or slaves, the Shang and Zhou dynasties, human sacrifice was very common, archaeology has found a large number of traces of human sacrifice. During the period of Tibet in the Western Regions, human sacrifices were also used for major oath activities.

Zuo Shaoyang has never seen it, and many people in the field have not seen it either, after all, it is very rare to use human sacrifice for major oaths, and they all looked up with their necks up, and the officials sitting in the back even stood up, muttering in their mouths, with some unbearable expressions on their faces, but their eyes were wide, as if they were afraid of missing one of the scenes.

Zuo Shaoyang buckled the golden needle nozzle in his hand, he was hesitating whether to make a move, here is more than ten steps away from the altar, if it is usual, after five years of hard practice, he is already sure that he can shoot the acupoint he wants to shoot, but now that it is raining and windy, in such a complicated situation, he is not sure that he can shoot the vagus nerve of the old king's neck. Shooting other acupuncture points cannot cause immediate death. What's even more troublesome is that there is only one gold needle in the spray can! And there are two targets he wants to shoot!

Before he could make up his mind, the rain suddenly increased, and the wind whined, and the thunder and lightning exploded one after another overhead!

Zuo Shaoyang looked up at the sky and prayed in his heart.

The sudden increase in the storm caught the sorcerer, the old king, and the Tibetan envoys a little off guard, and the two looked at the sorcerer, who continued to chant incantations with a stick in his hand.

So the old king and the Tibetan envoys grabbed the girl's arm one by the other, lifted her up, and put her on the offering table. The two of them stood on either side, and the scimitar in their hands was slowly raised, intending to cut off the girl's head!

Zuo Shaoyang could only point the nozzle in his hand at the old king!

At this moment, a series of explosions and thunders rang out, startling the old king and the Tibetan envoys all holding scimitars and looking up at the dark sky.

Swish!

A dazzling bolt of lightning swept through the dark rain curtain and landed on the top of the flagpole that jutted high into the sky!

Whew!

The electric light that lit up at the top of the flagpole shone on everyone's pale faces. Like a swift poisonous snake, it flew from the top to the bottom, like the fangs of death, devouring the old king, the Tibetan envoys and the national teacher!

The three of them immediately stiffened all over their bodies, black smoke swished all over their bodies, and all of them smelled the smell of burnt meat!

The white light flashed and quickly disappeared into the rain curtain, like a ghost, coming and going without a trace.

The three stiff bodies fell to the ground with a bang, the black smoke quickly extinguished in the rain, and the three brightly dressed people turned into three charcoal sticks!

The eldest prince was pleasantly surprised, and the corners of his eyes quickly slanted at Zuo Shaoyang, full of awe and gratitude, but his mouth was tearing and screaming: "Father--!" ”

He knocked over the table in front of him, the melon and fruit bowl fell to the ground, staggered to the altar, and fell into the muddy ground with another thud, and got up in embarrassment, screaming for his father, and climbed up the altar step by step!

The eldest prince's action brought the stunned crowd back to their senses. They all cried and cried, and crawled up to the altar after the eldest prince.

The woman on the offering table, because she had her whole body on the offering table, the four wooden legs under the offering table were covered with brocade to keep out the rain, and they were dry. So there was no conduction, the woman didn't do anything at all, she just had her eyes closed, and she didn't even see the tragic image of the three people who were about to kill him being killed by lightning. It wasn't until there was no knife on her neck that there was a cry all around, and then she opened her eyes and turned her head to look, and saw the three charred corpses, which frightened her and screamed.

The corners of Zuo Shaoyang's mouth showed a hint of imperceptible smile, this is his masterpiece, it is very simple, he asked the blacksmith to beat a very thin wire and make a lightning rod, but the lightning rod was not introduced into the ground, but was teleported to the sacrifice table. In this way, no one at the sacrifice table will escape death!

Thunder and lightning can be guided by iron wire, which is only mastered by modern humans, and no one knows this knowledge during the Tang Dynasty and Tubo era. Therefore, even if someone found the wire on the flagpole, they would never have imagined that it was this wire that led the thunder and lightning to kill the old king, the Tibetan envoy and the national teacher of Domi.

Everyone watched the three of them being killed by lightning, and naturally no one thought that this was actually a well-arranged murder.

(ps: The rebel party in "Detective Di Renjie" was able to come up with an idea to use iron wire to guide the thunder and lightning to the iron helmet worn by Wu Zetian's head, and wanted to use thunder and lightning to kill her, of course Di Renjie saw through it, this traitor and Di Renjie definitely traveled through the past.) Because this requires the knowledge of electricity that modern people may know. Humans know that lightning is a discharge phenomenon that can be conducted by conductors such as metal and wet wire, and it was Franklin's famous kite experiment a thousand years after the Tang Dynasty. It is impossible for the people of the Tang Dynasty to have such an electrical knowledge as metals can conduct electricity. Because there was no electricity at that time, and there were no lightning rods. The eldest prince used his talents as a leader at this point, and as soon as he was sure that all three were dead, he used his capacity as the crown prince to issue a series of instructions. And all the ministers naturally supported him, and no prince had ever wanted to compete with him for the throne before.

On the same day, the prince Na Rang Si succeeded to the throne before his father's spirit and was worshiped by all the ministers. He then sent an envoy to inform the Tibetans that the envoy had been killed by lightning during the sacrifice, and used this as an excuse to stop the alliance with the Tibetans.

Zuo Shaoyang was treated as a guest of honor by the new king. Only then did Zuo Shaoyang introduce the prince Du Song, the chief of the Misang tribe, to the new king, and the new king did not break his promise and immediately signed an alliance with Du Song. According to Zuo Shaoyang's suggestion, human sacrifice was exempted. Only cattle and sheep were used for the sacrificial oath.

Du Song was very happy, he was really grateful to Zuo Shaoyang, and according to the agreement, he left the craftsman and the beauty, and after saying goodbye to Zuo Shaoyang and them, he returned to Misang.

Zuo Shaoyang persuaded the new king to ally with small states such as Bokang and Bowo to jointly deal with Tibet. And volunteered to be a lobbyist. This was naturally in line with the new king's wishes, and he immediately agreed to send envoys to follow Zuo Shaoyang to these small countries to discuss the alliance.

Before leaving, the new king not only returned the ten beautiful singers that Zuo Shaoyang gave to the old king, as well as the jewels worth 2,000 taels of silver, but also prepared a box of gold and silver jewelry for Zuo Shaoyang.

Domi is much more than Misan, and the gifts he gives are much heavier. Zuo Shaoyang said to the new king if he could exchange the jewelry for cattle and sheep. Because the people of his Gangren Buche mandala were very poor.

The new king naturally agreed very generously, and exchanged gifts for Zuo Shaoyang for 500 cows, 500 horses and 1,000 sheep, and sent 300 elite soldiers dressed as cattle herders to help Zuo Shaoyang, who drove the cattle and sheep to Gangren Buche and served as the escort on the road.

Zuo Shaoyang was very happy, and left Domi with the cattle and sheep to leave and go to Bowo.

Small countries such as Bowo and Bokang are close to Tibet, and under the strategy of "distant friendship and close attack" of Tibet, when such a powerful country as Subi has been conquered by Tibet, they are anxious about when Tibet will attack them. Tami proposed an alliance to jointly deal with Tibet, and as long as any of the allied countries were attacked by Tibet, the other countries were obliged to send troops to help fight it. Naturally, this is what they can't ask for. Immediately promised to form an alliance. Tami's envoys made a covenant with them, and at Zuo Shaoyang's suggestion, they did not use human sacrifice.

These small countries are naturally also very grateful to Zuo Shaoyang for mediating and sending Zuo Shaoyang some horses, cattle and sheep, as well as some male and female slaves.

In the golden autumn of a month, they finally came to the Tibetan realm.

On the border, the Tubo checkpoint really has to levy heavy taxes, especially the cattle and sheep crossing the border, and they are eager to tear off half of it. Zuo Shaoyang was very angry, showing his identity as the king of Zhangxiong Gangren Buche, but he didn't expect him not to say that it was okay, but after saying it, people would double the transit tariff. The reason is that the king of Zhangzhung is not good to their Tibetan princesses, so everyone who is related to the royal family of Zhangzhung has to be taxed heavily.

Zuo Shaoyang was so angry that his nose was crooked, and he didn't bother to reason with them, and after discussing with Da Longxin and others, he decided that he would not be able to take Tubo, make a detour to Yangtong, go around and return to Xiangxiong.

Anyway, there are green grasslands along the way, and they don't worry about the cattle and sheep not having food, and they say that these cattle and sheep are a lot less, and there are hundreds of people to escort them, so they didn't encounter any dangers along the way.

Yang Tong and Zhangxiong formed an alliance and passed it smoothly, and Yang Tong Guojun also feasted Zuo Shaoyang, the Dharma King of Gangren Buche, and his entourage.

By the time they entered the Zhangzhung realm, it was already the middle of winter!

From Datang Chang'an all the way to Zhangxiong, half a year has passed! Of course, the cattle and sheep walked slowly on the road, which delayed a lot of time.

In the past six months, Zuo Shaoyang learned Tibetan with Dalongxin day and night, and the Tibetan language at that time was relatively simple, so after half a year, he was able to cope with the daily life conversation of Tibetan. In addition to the somewhat eccentric tone, fortunately, his decoration is already eccentric, and he is the king of the law, and people dare not laugh at him.

Enter Zhangxiong and come to Qionglong Silver City, the capital of Zhangxiong. As Darongsin said, King Zhangzhung had great respect for His Holiness Gangren Buche, and when he received the news, he sent an envoy out of the city for ten miles to meet him. set up a banquet in the palace to entertain Zuo Shaoyang and his party.

The country of Zhangxiong is much larger than that of Tami, and this palace is naturally much more magnificent. At the banquet, Zuo Shaoyang inquired about King Zhangxiong's attitude towards Tibet without a trace, and found that King Zhangxiong was arrogant and contemptuous of Tibet, which made Zuo Shaoyang even more anxious, so he reminded him to pay attention to Tubo's ambitions. King Zhangxiong laughed and said that although Zuo Shaoyang was at ease to practice spells in Gangren Buche, the Zhangxiong Congress would provide him with a very safe environment.

Zuo Shaoyang had no choice but to say goodbye and leave Qionglong City, the capital of Xiangxiong Kingdom.

Before leaving, King Zhangzhung gave him a lot of gold and silver treasures, all of which Zuo Shaoyang used to buy food, plus the gold, silver and jewelry given by several countries on the road, all of which were spent, and thousands of sheepskin coats and hundreds of tents were bought and brought back to the mandala together.

After leaving Qionglong Silver City and walking forward for less than a mile, Zuo Shaoyang suddenly vaguely heard someone shouting on the side of the road: "Zuo Shaoyang ......!" Master......! ”

Listening to the voice, it turned out to be Miao Peilan and Bai Zhihan!

Zuo Shaoyang smiled bitterly, he must have been homesick too much, no wonder, along the way, although more than 100 female slaves were around, he wanted to be in the wind and snow, there was no obstacle, but he didn't have that mind, and the beautiful wife and concubine in his family who he thought about in his heart suddenly heard their voices in the Western Regions thousands of miles away, and he must have hallucinated.

But the voice kept ringing, over and over again, from far to near!

In the cold winter, Zuo Shaoyang was sitting in a warm carriage, and at the moment he suspiciously lifted the curtain and looked out, this look, he was really surprised and happy, only to see two horses on the side of the road, and two women were sitting immediately, one was graceful and graceful, and the other had slightly dark skin and a sturdy and healthy body, it was Bai Zhihan and Miao Peilan!

Zuo Shaoyang blinked vigorously, fixed his eyes and looked again, sure enough, it was the two of them!

Zuo Shaoyang was ecstatic, lifted the curtain with a bang, and before he had time to stop the car, he had already jumped out of the carriage: "Zhi'er!" Lan'er! How did you guys get here! "Run over.

The second daughter was also ecstatic, turned over and dismounted, and greeted her, Bai Zhihan deliberately dragged back half a step, wanting to leave the first hug to Miao Peilan, but Miao Peilan also had this thought, and also stopped, but both of them stood there stupidly, or Zuo Shaoyang rushed over first, stopped the second daughter in his arms, and hugged him tightly. The two daughters also hugged Zuo Shaoyang at this time, and before they could speak, they were already in tears.

It was the first time Zuo Shaoyang saw Bai Zhihan crying, and he cried like pear blossoms with rain, he was originally sad and happy, but when he saw them like this, he smiled: "Zhi'er, I always thought you wouldn't cry, but I didn't expect you to cry." ”

Bai Zhihan burst into tears and laughed, slapped him lightly, and wiped the tears on his cheeks.

The dart master next to Zuo Shaoyang's carriage saw Zuo Shaoyang jump out of the car, and hurriedly shouted to order the convoy to stop. Da Longxin and the others were going to surround the past, but when they saw Zuo Shaoyang hugging the two women, obviously relatives, they all retreated, so as not to embarrass others.

Zuo Shaoyang hugged his second daughter and asked, "Why are you here?" Didn't I let you come to me? It's too dangerous, you two women, you don't know the language. ”

Miao Peilan didn't talk much in front of outsiders, but she giggled like a little sparrow beside her lover: "Sister Xiao rushed to Hezhou and told us, listening to what Xiao Du Ming said, several monks kidnapped you, and said that you want to go to the Western Regions to be the king, the emperor already knew, and ordered to use 800 miles to expedite the notice to the army along the way to set up cards to intercept, so we rushed to the border with Sister Xiao, originally they were going to come together, but Sister Xiao said that they didn't know martial arts, and they couldn't stand it overnight on the road, and they took care of the second elder and the children at home, so they didn't come." ”

Zuo Shaoyang smiled: "Yes, as a result, you ran in the wrong direction and went to the north to intercept me, but we went from the south." ”
