Chapter 171
Sun Ce was overjoyed, and on the same day, he met with the generals on the city tower and set up a banquet to entertain Mi Ren.
While drinking, Sun Ce suddenly saw the generals whispering to each other, and they all looked downstairs. Sun Ce felt strange, so he asked the others why they looked down, and the people on the left and right said: "There is a living immortal below, and now he is passing downstairs, and the generals want to visit him." ”
Sun Ce got up and looked over the railing, and saw a Taoist priest, covered with a crane and a cane in his hand, standing on the side of the road, and the people were burning incense and worshipping on the ground.
Sun Ce said angrily: "What kind of demon is this? Get me! ”
The people around him admonished Sun Ce and said: "This person's surname is Yu, his name is Ji, he lives in the east, travels to and from Wuhui, Pu Shi Fu Shui, rescues people's diseases, and there is no time when it is not effective."
At present, the people call it a god, and it cannot be easily blasphemed. ”
Sun Ce became even more angry when he heard this, and he shouted and said, "Hurry up and capture him for me!" Violators will be beheaded! ”
Sun Ce's guards had no choice but to go downstairs and hug Yu Ji upstairs.
Sun Ce said: "Crazy Dao dares to incite and confuse people's hearts! ”
Yu Ji said: "I am a Taoist priest of Langya Palace, when Emperor Shun had gone into the mountains to collect medicine, and obtained immortal magic on the water of Yangqu Spring, known as "Taiping Blue Collar Road", a total of more than 100 volumes, all of which are spells to cure people's diseases. Let me get it, I must proclaim it on behalf of heaven and save the world, and I have not taken anything from others, how can it be said that it is incitement to confuse people's hearts? ”
Sun Ce said: "You don't take anything from others, so where do you get your clothes and food?" In my opinion, you are the Yellow Turban Army Zhang Jiao and the like, if you don't kill it now, you must have endless troubles! “
Sun Ce ordered the people around him to kill him.
Zhang Zhao advised: "This Dao person has not committed any crimes in Jiangdong for decades, so don't kill him casually." ”
Sun Ce said: "These demons, what is the difference between killing them and killing pigs and dogs!" ”
All the officials exhorted bitterly. , Mi Ren also persuaded Sun Ce.
Sun Ce's anger had not subsided and ordered him to be imprisoned.
And all the officials were scattered. Mirror went back to the hotel to rest.
When Sun Ce returned home, there was a rumor that Sun Ce's mother, Mrs. Wu, knew about it.
Mrs. Wu called Sun Ce into the back hall and said to him, "I heard that you have put the immortal in prison. He has treated many people for diseases, and the army and the people respect him, and he should not be harmed casually. ”
Sun Ce said: "Yu Ji is a demon, he can use demon magic to confuse everyone, he must be eliminated!" “
Mrs. Wu repeatedly persuaded her.
Sun Ce said: "Mother, don't listen to outsiders' nonsense, I will deal with it myself." ”
So he came out and called the jailer Tiyuji to interrogate him.
It turned out that the prison officials all believed in Yu Ji, and when Yu Ji was in prison, he did not wear shackles to him; It wasn't until Sun Ce called him that he came out with shackles.
Furious, the policy adviser rebuked the jailer and detained him in shackles.
Zhang Zhao and dozens of others jointly wrote a pleading, begging Sun Ce and asking for Yu Ji's life to be spared.
Sun Ce said: "You are all people who have read books, why are you so ignorant of things? In the past, Zhang Jin, the assassin of Jiaozhou, because he listened to the cult, burned incense, usually wrapped his head in a red handkerchief, claiming that he could help increase the power of the army, and was later killed by the enemy on the battlefield. There is no benefit to such things, but you do not know them. I want to kill Yu Ji precisely because I want to prohibit adultery to confuse our Jiangdong subjects.
Sun Ce's subordinate Lu Fan said: "I heard that this Taoist priest Yu Ji can pray for wind and rain. If there is a drought today, why not let him pray for rain to atone for his sins? ”
Sun Ce said: "It's okay, I want to see if this demon Dao is really capable." ”
So he ordered Yu Ji to be taken out of prison, his chains were opened, and he was put on the altar to pray for rain.
Yu Ji obeyed Sun Ce's order, bathed and changed his clothes, and tied himself to the scorching sun with a rope. The people watching, filling the streets and alleys.
In Jili, he said to everyone: "We asked for three feet of rain to save the people, but I was never spared death." ”
The people all said, "If it works, I believe the lord will admire you." ”
Yu Ji said: "I am destined to be here, I'm afraid I can't escape." ”
After a while, Sun Ce personally went to the altar and ordered, saying, "If it doesn't rain at noon, burn this demon Dao Yu Ji." “
Let people pile up dry firewood and so on.
It was almost noon when the wind blew up. Everywhere the wind passed, the clouds gradually converged.
Sun Ce said: "The time is close to noon, there are clouds in the sky, and there is no rain in time, this Yu Ji is a demon!" “
Ordered the left and right guards to put on the pyre under Ji, and light fires in all directions, and the flames rose with the wind. Suddenly, I saw a black smoke, rushing into the sky, a loud sound, thunder and lightning, and heavy rain poured.
In an instant, the streets became rivers, and the streams were filled, and there were three feet of rain.
Yu Ji lay on his back on the pyre, shouted loudly, said to stop, and saw that the rain had passed and the sky was clear.
So all the officials and the people helped Yu Ji down the pile of firewood and grass, untied the rope, and thanked Yu Ji again for his help.
Sun Ce saw that the officials and the people were all bowing down to the water, ignoring the water stains on their clothes, so he was furious and said loudly: "Sunny rain is the law of heaven and earth, and demons occasionally take advantage of it, how can you be so confused!" ”
Sun Ce drew his sword and asked the people around him to behead Ji for public display.
The officials tried their best to admonish, and Sun Ce said angrily: "Do you all have to follow Yu Ji to rebel!" So the officials did not dare to say any more.
Sun Ceqi samurai will be beheaded by Ji with a knife and landed. I saw a green breath and went to the northeast.
Sun Ce ordered his men to expose his body to the market on false charges.
That night, it was stormy, and at dawn, Yu Ji's body was gone.
。 The corpse guards report to Sun Ce. Sun Ce was furious and wanted to kill the soldiers guarding the corpses.
Suddenly, he saw a person pacing from the front of the hall, and Sun Ce looked over, it was Yu Ji.
Sun Ce was furious, and was about to draw his sword and step forward to slash Yu Ji, when he suddenly fainted and fell to the ground.
Sun Ce's left and right hurriedly helped Sun Ce up and entered the bedroom, Sun Ce waited for a long time before waking up.
Mrs. Wu came to visit the sick and said to Sun Ce: "My son killed the immortals, so he caused this disaster. ”
Sun Ce said with a smile: "I have been on the battlefield with my father since I was a child, and I have been on the battlefield for a long time, and I am also like a murderer, how can I ever be a disaster?" Now that I have killed the demon and eliminated the great calamity, how can it become a disaster for me? ”
Wu Guotai said: "Because you don't believe it, you are causing this now; Now you can do more good deeds to eliminate evil. ”
Sun Ce said perfunctorily: "My life is in the sky, and the demon must not be in trouble." Why do you have to pray?! However, when the child knows, he will surely do more good deeds in the future. “
Wu Guotai knew how to persuade Sun Ce, but he didn't believe it. Let the people and things around you eliminate disasters and cultivate good karma.
On the second watch that night, Sun Ce was in his home house, when a sudden overcast wind suddenly rose, and the lights went out and then brightened.
Under the shadow of the lamp, Yu Ji appeared standing in front of the bed.
Sun Ce shouted and said: "I swear to kill demons in my life to stabilize the world!" You are already a yin ghost, how dare you approach me! ”
So Sun Ce picked up the sword on the bedside and went over, and Yu Ji suddenly disappeared.
When Mrs. Wu heard about it, she became sorrowful. Sun Ce reluctantly went to Wu Guotai with his illness to alleviate his mother's worries.
Wu Guotai said to Sun Ce: "The sage once said: 'Ghosts and gods are virtuous, and they are magnificent! Again: 'Pray to the gods and gods.' Therefore do not disbelieve the things of demons and gods. If you stole your husband, is there no retribution? I have already asked people to set up Jiao in the county's Yuqing Zhaoying Palace, you can go and pray in person, and you can naturally avoid disasters. “
Sun Ce didn't dare to disobey his mother's order, so he had to reluctantly take a sedan chair to Yuqing Zhaoying Palace. The Taoist priest entered, please let Sun Ce burn incense, and Sun Ce burned incense without apologizing.
Suddenly, the smoke in the incense burner did not disperse, and it became a canopy, on which sat Yu Ji.
Sun Ce was angry and scolded; Walking away from the palace, Yu Ji appeared standing at the gate of the palace again, glaring at Sun Ce angrily.
Sun Ce said to the people on the left and right, "Have you seen the demons?? “
People on the left and right said they didn't see it. Sun Ce was even more angry, pulled out his sword and looked at Yu Ji to throw it, and one of them fell to the sword.
Everyone looked over, and it turned out that it was the little soldier who killed the bath towel a few days ago, and was cut into the head by the sword, and the seven orifices bled to death. Sun Ce ordered him to be carried out for a thick burial.
When he came out of the view, Yu Ji fled into the gate again.
Sun Ce said: "It seems that this is where the hidden demon is located!" ”
So he sat down in front of the temple and ordered 500 samurai to demolish the dojo. When the samurai was going up to the house to uncover the tiles, he saw Yuji standing on the roof, and the flying tiles were thrown to the ground.
Sun Ce was furious and ordered the expulsion of the Taoist priests from the temple and set fire to the temple.
Where the fire started, Yu Ji appeared again standing in the firelight.
Sun Ce returned to the house and appeared in front of Ji Standing in front of the mansion again. So Sun Ce did not enter the palace, and with the three armies, he set up camp outside the city, summoned the generals to discuss, and wanted to send troops to help Jin Xuan attack Jingzhou in order to flank the attack.
All the generals said, "You are not in good health, and you must not act rashly." And wait for the recovery, and the troops will not be slow. Besides, there is another Liu Miao who has not been eradicated, please calm down. ”
That night, Sun Ce stayed in the village and appeared in Ji Phifa again. Sun Ce howled incessantly in the tent.
The next day, Mrs. Wu sent an order to summon Sun Ce back to her home.
Sun Ce then went back to see his mother. Seeing Ce's haggard face, the lady cried and said, "My child, why do you look like this! ”
Sun Ce picked up the mirror and looked at it, and sure enough, he saw that his face was very thin, and he couldn't help but be shocked, and said to the people around him: "How can I be so haggard?!" “
Before he finished speaking, Yu Ji suddenly appeared standing in the mirror. Sun Ce slapped the mirror and screamed, the gold sores burst out, and he fainted to the ground.
Wu Guotai asked Sun Ce to be helped into the bedroom. After a while, Sun Ce woke up, sighed to himself and said, "I'm afraid that my life will not be long!" ”
He immediately summoned Pang Tong, Zhang Zhao, Huang Gai, Zhou Tai, Han Dang, Cheng Pu and others, and Sun Ce's younger brother Sun Quan to his bedside.
