Chapter 18: A Mountain and a Mountain High

This guy imprisoned a national spirit in front of him, and he planned to use it as a sacrifice?

Ji Le's face was ugly, and he gently stroked the body of Chihong's sword, his eyes becoming more and more cold.

This bastard! Yu Yu saw the snake spirit being carried up, and immediately knew that it was not good! She quickly looked left and right, and there was a touch of dissatisfaction between Shi Huang's eyebrows, obviously disapproving of Yang Ke's actions.

"The Lord of the National Spirit has made a slight concession and has no intention of interfering in military and political affairs at all. This Xia Jun is too prestigious!"

As for the youth -

He directly crushed the incense in his hand, stared at Yang Ke up and down, and was already thinking about whether to beat him directly.

"My eight-leaf incense, it will take seven days to make this hollow incense box!" Yu Yuan felt sorry for her belongings, but this was obviously not the time to care about this.

She hurriedly glanced at the maid beside her: "Quick, go and invite Master Sima." ”

The maid nodded, and quickly ran out of the main hall to move the rescuers.

As for the two parties......

Yang Ke tensed his body, carefully guarding against Ji Le. I made this drama myself, what if Ji Le gets carried away and swings his sword to cut himself?

"What about the spirit of the country?"

Brush –

Everyone's eyes fell on Ji Le, worried, entangled, guarded, and suspicious......

Dingβ€”β€”

The sword was unsheathed, and the cold light rose instantly.

Yang Ke didn't say a word, and a raging flame erupted from his body.

Yu Yuan's face changed slightly, and she immediately picked up the witch wand and prepared to stop it.

And Cangjie lifted the jade pen, the young man rushed forward, and Yang Ke's personal soldiers also made defensive moves.

And yetβ€”

Ji Le subconsciously swung his sword and slashed, and then re-sheathed the sword.

"What are you doing here?" Seeing that everyone was taking action because of themselves, it was Ji Le, the person concerned, who was the calmest.

He smiled and said, "You don't think I'm going to do it, do you? It's just that after sitting for a long time, get up and play with the sword." ”

Then, Ji Le turned his head to Yang Ke and said, "If I'm not mistaken, most of the sacrifices are solid colors. Although this snake spirit has green scales all over its body, it has a slightly inky tail tip, a red tumor on its forehead, and a gold border under its chin, which may not be convenient for use as a sacrifice. ”

"Furthermore, I know that sacrificing cattle is 'Yiyuan Dawu', dolphins are 'Gangguan' or 'fat', sheep are 'pubescent', and rabbits are 'Mingshi'...... Fresh fish is 'sacrificial', pure water is 'clean', and sacrificial wine is called 'clear drinking'. There are also jade and coins for worship. But I don't know what is the name of sacrificing snakes?"

The names of the sacrifices mentioned by Ji Le come from the Book of Rites, which is the elegant name for various sacrifices in the Zhou period. However, it seems that there are no cases of snake sacrifices.

In other words, the sacrifice of snakes is not an ancient system.

"Can such sacrifices satisfy the ancestral spirits?"

"This is not a native land, how can there be so many rules? I can use whatever sacrifice I want. Sacrifice only depends on whether the heart is sincere or not. ”

Ji Le bowed his head and said: "Yes, 'Sacrifice to the ancestors, honesty is the best'." But if you don't even want to do superficial work, how much sincerity can you expect from within?"

Yang Ke was about to refute, but Ji Le didn't give him a chance at all, and directly interrupted: "Okay, since the monarch is interested, then let you go!"

It's like a sensible adult, facing a stubborn and nonsense child. Ji Le put on this shelf, making Yang Ke's various demonstrations all a joke.

The national spirit was generous, threw the Chihong Sword to Yang Ke, took the initiative to step down from the main seat, and came to the snake spirit's side, with a sympathetic look in his eyes.

The rabbit died and the fox was sad and hurt, and now Yang Ke is sacrificing the snake spirit, isn't it to deter himself?

But immediately, Ji Le's expression calmed down again: "Everyone, what are you still doing in a daze? If you want to sacrifice, you can't be in this royal court, right? If you disturb a few ladies, what should you do?"

Yang Ke saw that the other party was light and light, as if he was not oppressed by himself at all, so he had to stand up and say to Yu Yuan: "Go to the Spirit Palace to clean up, let's go to the Soul Sealing Platform." ”

Yu Yu glared at Yang Ke angrily before ordering the entourage witch to prepare.

"Lord Kunai, I'm here to lead the way. The place of sacrifice is in the side hall of the Spirit Palace, and there is a distance. ”

......

The group walked from the avenue behind the royal court towards the Spirit Palace.

Looking at the shadows of the palace in the distance, Ji Le said to the young man: "Coming back today is very different from the weather the day before yesterday. ”

The day before yesterday, the wind god was entertained here, and only a Yuhua building was opened. But today, when the ancestors are sacrificed, the four doors of the spiritual palace are fully opened, and the solemn and solemn bell music is far away.

"Well, there are quite a few people. The young man stared at the soldiers on the walls of the various parts of the Spirit Palace. Obviously, after Yang Ke came back, the strength of Jiugong City returned to a normal state, and the barbarians were no longer allowed to take advantage of it.

And Liu Sheng and Yang Ke were talking on the other side.

After Liu Sheng got the news from Wang Tingzhong, his whole face was distorted.

"What did I say along the way, don't directly clash with the spirit of the country! Are you idle and have nothing to do, do you have to find someone to fight? Okay, how about I go back and Yu Yu and I will find all the brothers and accompany you to practice your hands?"

Yang Ke was also angry and said: "Okay, I'm already aggrieved enough!"

The spirit of the country put on a courteous and courteous gentleman's demeanor, and all kinds of demonstrations seemed to hit a ball of cotton. Compared with the two, he seems to be a foolish child, too shameful!

At this moment, a calf cart came in a hurry. After stopping, the boys helped the white-haired old man to Yang Ke's side.

"Teacher?" Yang Ke's face twitched, why is this coming? His gaze fell on Liu Sheng, Liu Sheng shook his head: "It's not me, I just learned the news, where can I inform Mr."

Shi Huang's eyes, who were standing on Ji Le's left, moved slightly, and he laughed in a low voice: "My lord, look, the person who taught Yang Ke a lesson is here. ”

Yang Ke had no one in his eyes, and even Cangjie, a good-tempered master, was secretly angry. Yesterday, he persuaded Ji Le to try not to conflict with the monarch for a night, but as a result, your side is full of food and support, so you have to fight a fight?

When the young man saw the old man, several old Confucian figures immediately appeared in his mind, and he quietly asked, "Old man, is this person very powerful? How is it compared to Dong Gong?"

Without Cangjie opening his mouth, Ji Le said abruptly: "The classics recorded by the school palace are only fragments left by the ancestors of the Eastern Han Dynasty. No matter how powerful this old gentleman is, can he compare to Dong Zi?"

Although Ji Le has a lot of complaints about the "Three Principles and Five Constants" and "Heaven and Man Induction", the thoughts of others have indeed influenced an era and have far-reaching significance. What's wrong with this old gentleman, it can't be a different worldly Dong Zi, right?

Cangjie said with a smile: "This person's name is Sima Jingwen, a famous Confucian in the Xue Palace, and he is also an old minister of the conservatives. It was Yang Ke's old father who left behind to restrain him. Let's just watch. ”

The three of them stood aside to watch the show, Yu Yuan and Liu Sheng saw each other, and dragged the reluctant Yang Ke over to see the ceremony.

"Sir/Teacher/Master. ”

"Excuse me. Sima Jingwen had a gloomy face and scolded Yang Ke: "I heard that you want to sacrifice the ancestral spirit with the snake spirit of the outside barbarian?"

Yang Ke frowned, and looked at Yu Yuan with a resentful look. If it wasn't Liu Sheng who made a small report, it was naturally this girl

Yu Yu didn't bother to pay attention to him, took over the boy's task, and supported Sima Jingwen by the side.

The old man struck the cane hard, and said angrily: "Although I am not upright in Los Angeles, I can't afford to be the name of the country." But in the end, it is the inheritance of the ancestors, the descendants of the Han Dynasty in the homeland, the inheritance of the righteousness of Zhuxia, and the system of etiquette and music. Tell me, in which sage book did you use evil snakes and fierce spirits to worship the ancestral gods?"

"The sacrificial rite has the sacrifice of three animals, the ritual of the great prison, and I have not heard of the use of evil serpents. Hurry up and prepare the three animals and sacrifice them again!"

In front of Ji Le, Yang Ke was able to say with a big grin, I am in charge of my territory. However, in front of Sima Jingwen......

Watching his teacher spit Xingzi spraying his face, Yang Ke didn't even dare to wipe it, so he could only be honestly trained, so that Ji Le and others next to him could see the jokes.
