Chapter 178: Kneel

"My lord - let's not take care of this idle matter, this has existed in the Yangtze River basin for a long time, and some people have questioned whether their practices can really pray for the good fortune of the dragon lord, but these people have mysteriously disappeared. What the last general means is that we don't care, but when they throw the boys and girls into the water, I will send water ghosts to follow them, and if I find that they are about to sink to the bottom of the river, I will rescue them! Anyway, these children who were sent here by their parents are all poor children, why don't we take them back and raise them? Human life is really like mustard now—"

The soldiers on the boat listened to Zhou Yu's order and rushed down from the boat to surround the villagers of Peach Blossom Village, just waiting for Zhou Yu's order - and the villagers who were still happy just now looked at the bright swords and guns, and their eyes were full of fear.

"Lord Zhou—what's going on? The little one doesn't mean to offend adults, right? Li Jin, the head of Peach Blossom Village, was also a little flustered, he couldn't figure out how this state pastor who was smiling just now could blink an eye-

Zhou Yu was thinking about Gan Ning's words at this time, and there was a story about sacrificing to the river god in the text he had learned before, which was that the witch and the god made up the river flood in order to deceive and fool the people's money because the villagers did not worship the river god, causing the river god to be angry and send disasters to the villagers, and let the villagers in the village sacrifice their children to the river god to enjoy, and later ended up being saved by an official. The original story is so similar to today's, but even if he saves this group of children now, he can't stay here all the time, and he thinks Gan Ning's idea is more appropriate, since he has to save himself, this time it is himself Meng Lang, but as an angry young man in the new century, who can watch such a small, cute and healthy child be thrown into the water and die for an ethereal myth! Even if you have a heavy army, you can't solve it for a while, people's deep-rooted thoughts, everyone has a belief in this point, which no one can erase, but you can't blindly worship, and in just a few minutes, some thoughts have been turned back and forth.

"Thank you Xingba for the reminder - I didn't think it through, just do what you want, you have to save these children, you go with me off the boat!" Zhou Yu, Dian Wei, Gan Ning, and Zhou An got off the boat together, and the group walked to the surrounding villagers.

"Villagers, don't panic, it's the official's fault - I just heard the village chief say that he wanted to worship the Dragon King, and he wanted to follow the worship, so he asked other people to stop you, waiting for the official to come and worship together, presumably there must be the official himself to worship the Dragon King, and he will definitely bless Peach Blossom Village." I just don't know which Taoist master is presiding over the sacrifice today? Can the village chief introduce me? Zhou Yu had already thought of a rhetoric while walking, since he was worshipping the Dragon King, let's worship together, to see if these Taoist priests were pretending to be gods, and there were some doubts about whether there were immortals in this world when he was reborn in Zhou Yu.

"Ah-I see, how dare the small people sacrifice to the Dragon King bother the master of the state pastor, this Luo Daochang is a master of the Dao in Taoxi County, and generally such rituals are done by his old man himself." Village Chief Li Jin suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he didn't come to trouble them, it's just that this state pastor is a little attentive, right? How dare a small village worship the Dragon King to work for the state pastor, this is the blessing that they have cultivated in Peach Blossom Village for thousands of years.

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable-Poor Dao Dao No. Luo Song has seen Lord Zhou Mu, I don't know what Lord Zhou Mu is here?" Wearing a seven-star crown, wearing a bright yellow robe, a jade belt tied around his waist, a peachwood sword on his back, and a pair of linen shoes under his feet, but although he was smiling, there was a trace of evil hidden in his eyes.

"Yo-Daoist Luo, where did the official go and what do I need to report to you? Or does the official need to ask you for advice? And why didn't you Taoist disciples kneel when they saw the official? Zhou Yu was already a little disdainful of these stinky Taoist priests who made money and killed people, but he didn't expect Luo Song's kind words to hear Zhou Yu's ears as if he was questioning why he was meddling, and the corner of his eye saw that the Taoist disciples behind Luo Song were stretched out to the sword hanging on his waist, he felt that things were not so simple, and it seemed that this time he didn't know which way to meet the demons and monsters.

"Lord Governor - Poor Dao doesn't mean this, Poor Dao means that Lord Governor is busy with official business, how can he suddenly come here! Also, my lord, you are the pastor of Yangzhou Prefecture, and there is no edict from the imperial court that you must not leave the place of herding without authorization, is there something urgent? Poor Dao still has some connections in Taoxi County, and I hope to help the state pastor! As for the poor road, why didn't he kneel when he saw the state pastor? Poor Dao is originally a person who is an outsider, beyond the world, except for the Taoist patriarch, there are all living beings in the eyes of Poor Dao, and I ask for forgiveness from the state pastor! Luo Song's heart suddenly sank to the bottom, it seems that this person is really here to find fault, but it is difficult to do it now. So he decided to test Zhou Yu's purpose for coming here again.

"Forget it—forget it—Daoist Luo is a master, and this official is just joking with you. I happened to pass by here to rest, but I didn't expect to encounter such a grand event and wanted to take a look, and this official was also the first time to see such a sacrifice, so I was more curious. Which dragon king is being sacrificed today? Presumably, Daoist Luo can solve the doubts of this official, right? Zhou Yu sneered in his heart, but he had already changed the topic and let the other party think that he was an idiot, but he could also give the other party a problem, so since it is a sacrifice to the dragon king, let's make it clear which dragon lord it is, right? The legendary four dragon gods who guard the four seas are divided into the dragon gods of the East Sea, the dragon gods of the North Sea, the dragon gods of the South China Sea, and the dragon gods of the West Sea. Therefore, Zhou Yu deliberately asked this, which means that since you are a master, you must be able to know which river and which sea is the Dragon King, even if you make it up, you have to make it up for the official.

"Lord Zhou Mu, as far as the poor Dao knows, the world's great land is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, since there is such a saying, then there must be only one dragon king, as for the name of the poor Dao Dao is shallow and inconvenient, this is the crime of leaking the heavenly machine will be punished by heaven! It's not too early yet, and if you're interested, you can wait for the sacrifice to be completed before you explain to you. Zhou Yu didn't hold on to him anymore, Luo Song just breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but immediately the problem of the dragon king almost choked him half to death, and his master didn't tell him who the dragon kings were, he could only bite the bullet and say that there was only one dragon king, and he couldn't delay this topic by means of the sacrificial hour.

"Wait a long time - the great land of the world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, Zhou An will take down this Taoist priest for me, and the official will first treat him for a big crime of disrespect." Hearing Luo Song talk eloquently, Zhou Yu wanted to laugh, he really wanted to come to something, he was about to give up debating with this stinky Taoist, but he didn't expect him to use a classic quote to send himself away. But the meaning of this sentence is that most of the world is the king's territory, and everyone above the territory is the king's courtiers, according to this statement, it is the world of the Han Dynasty today, so how can he be regarded as a state pastor who is also a second-class member of the dynasty, and also belongs to the supervisor of the king's land, so there is no difference between outsiders and ordinary people, and the common people need to kneel when they see the big officials, so the stinky Taoist priests or monks also have to kneel, which is called the equality of all beings.

"Don't touch my master—" The eight disciples behind Luo Song all drew their swords and confronted Zhou Yu's army.

"Lay down your weapons - or you'll be killed!" Dian Wei roared loudly, and the surrounding soldiers raised their weapons and pointed at these Taoist priests.

"Lord Governor—what do you mean by that? Why did you arrest the poor Dao, and which royal law did the poor Dao violate? Beads of sweat slipped down Luo Song's head, and when he heard Zhou Yu's words, he was about to start giving this state shepherd a little color first, but he found that he was locked by two murderous auras, so he didn't dare to stir, so he could only ask this state shepherd who changed his face so quickly.

"You fucking kneel down and talk-" Gan Ning stepped forward and kicked Luo Song's leg crook, Luo Song knelt on the ground with both knees in pain, and because Gan Ning's kick suddenly made Luo Song's face follow the ground. The eight disciples behind saw that so many soldiers were fierce and vicious, and they all threw down the swords in their hands and knelt down.

"Lord-how to deal with it!" Gan Ning heard that Zhou Yu meant to give these dog Taoists a horse, otherwise they would really be too arrogant, and they would do this kind of unconscionable thing, Gan Ning made a killing gesture when he spoke.

"Each person will be punished with ten military sticks for not kneeling when they see officials, and they will kneel when they see officials on the territory of the Han Dynasty in the future, even if you are outsiders! Hurry up and finish the fight, don't let the sacrifice miss the time, the official is still waiting to see and see! ”

The villagers of Peach Blossom Village could only watch Luo Song cry wolf howl as he was beaten like this, Gan Ning understood what Zhou Yu meant to let his subordinates show mercy, otherwise this scene would have to continue to be performed!
