The water of Yunxi stream flows slowly from the upstream, the stream water is crystal clear, and from time to time you can see patches of aquatic plants swinging back and forth with the stream, like a group of skilled dancers. No one knows how Yunxi was formed, where it came from, and where it flowed. At least the villagers of Yunxi Village don't know, they only know that Yunxi has been around since they were born. No one knows where the end of Yunxi is, and some may have tried to go down the river, but this is by no means a three- to five-day walk, and the villagers do not have enough dry food for themselves to squander.

Fortunately, the villagers don't care about this, they only care about Yunxi Salt Well, which is the foundation of their survival, in the past two years, the salt output of the salt well has become less and less, and many people have begun to go hungry.

What made the villagers most angry was that a few days ago, Hesui rescued a foreigner, and this person actually dragged the firewood and grass that everyone was careful to take care of at all times, and he didn't even dare to touch it hard, and dragged it on the ground, didn't he know that this would make the gods angry? This is what Liu Banxian personally said when the village brought together a pig, three geese, and ten chickens. The most hateful thing is that this guy has brought our cutest little millet to ruin, which is unbearable, and the uncle can't bear it even if his third aunt can't bear it.

Fortunately, the wise old village chief is discerning, and the cloth steward (oh, now the village chief) is iron-faced and selfless, and with the unanimous approval of everyone, he decided to sacrifice this person to the god to appease the wrath of the water god.

The diameter of the Yunxi salt well is three meters, and the side is made of stones, and the rope with thick arms is wrapped around the rotating frame again and again, because it is often used, the well is full of water stains, but there is no moss and other plants in sight, if it is seen by people who do not know the truth, it must be very strange.

In this regard, the villagers have long been accustomed to it, this is a salt water well, of course, there is no grass within a radius of ten meters, unlike Yunxi, there is no salt at all, and the weeds are abundant by the stream, but what is the use?

Qian Yu has been hanging on the wooden frame not far from Yunxi Yanjing for half a day, the wooden frame was temporarily erected by the villagers, and a large number of dishes and bowls were placed on it, and there were all kinds of dried meat, dried fruits, and dried vegetables in the bowls, which had lost their original appearance after drying, and he did not recognize any of them except for the root vegetables. Who said that these villagers are poor and hungry every day? At least Qian Yu thinks that the food in front of him is enough for him to enjoy three days and three nights.

Of course, these dishes are not for him to eat, this is an offering, a delicacy that can only be enjoyed by great gods, as for Qian Yu, he can't do anything except be hanged.

At this time, it was almost noon, the sun in the sky was scorching, although it was not summer, Qian Yu was still dizzy from the sun, he finally saw the legendary Yunxi salt well, whether it is the stacking style of the steps, or the polishing technology of the card slot at the junction of the rotating frame, it is very classical, but it is only a classical style, it is no different from ordinary salt wells, the problem should not be here.

A large number of villagers who are not old or young are standing in front of the offering table, although there are many people, but they are extremely quiet, if it weren't for the fact that they are still angry when they look at themselves, Qian Yu even thought that the other party had forgiven him, the cloth was closest to the offering table, at this time he had taken off the hole suit when boiling salt, wearing a Taoist robe, with a gossip map painted on his back, and a peach wood sword in his hand...... I didn't expect the equipment to be quite complete!

Buyi looked at the sky from time to time, and at his feet was a straight wooden stick, the reflection of which slowly changed position with the movement of the sun. Finally, Buyi raised his head, raised the peachwood sword above his head, and shouted: "The time has come!" The Tao can be the way, the very way, the name can be named, the very name, the beginning of all things; Constant desirelessness, watching its eyes; Always have desire, watch it; Mysterious and mysterious! ”

As soon as Buyi's voice stopped, the villagers behind him immediately knelt down and chanted at the same time: "Tao can be Tao, extraordinary Tao, name can be named, very famous, all things begin; Constant desirelessness, watching its eyes; Always have desire, watch it; Mysterious and mysterious! ”

After the chanting, the faces of these villagers were only pious and serene, and the smiling and intoxicated appearance of these villagers was comparable to that of the addicts who smoked half a pound of marijuana in later generations. But Qian Yu was stunned, he heard it right? Do they read the Tao Te Ching? Or is it a three-character scripture? Who is so creative?

When the villagers quieted down, Bu Yi continued to read, who thought that this time it was changed to Sun Tzu's Art of War: "Through five things, the school is based on calculations, and the feelings are asked: one is the Tao, the second is the sky, the third is the earth, the fourth is the general, and the fifth is the law......"

He said for a while, and the style of writing changed again, but it was in the Sixteen Classics of Legalism: "If you want to know the gains and losses, please try the name and punish the punishment; Xingheng is self-determined, it is me Yu Jing; Things are always self-sufficient, it is my ...... to do nothing", just like that, in just a stick of incense time, Buyi traveled around the hundreds of schools, Qian Yu has heard of it, and he has not heard of it, and there are all kinds of messy Buddhist slang in the middle, he even heard a few words of medical scriptures, and finally ended with the word "Shang Fang"!

Hehe......

As soon as Buyi finished reading it, Rao is Qian Yu was tied to the altar as a sacrifice, and he couldn't help laughing, this sacrificial text is too spoofed, right? Big brother, please can you be professional, if you really don't understand, it's okay to have a whole book that no one can understand, at least you don't have to worry about missing the stuffing in front of others.

But the next moment he couldn't laugh, and when he saw Bu Yi wave his hand, the villagers behind him immediately stood up, each carrying a bundle of firewood and piling it up on the altar, and in a short time a large piece was piled up. Seeing that it was almost over, Bu Yi waved his hand again, and the hammer held a head-sized jar and threw it at the pyre, and the liquid in the jar swayed, exuding a burst of fragrance, which was rapeseed oil, and then saw Bu Yi take out a burning torch.

No matter how stupid Qian Yu is, he knows Buyi's next moves, this is the rhythm of burning himself to death, his face turned pale instantly, under the threat of death, Qian Yu struggled and shouted: "Buyi, you can't lynch me, it's illegal, if the county master knows, he will definitely put you in prison, and ask for beheading!" ”

As if he hadn't heard, Buyi had already walked to the firewood. Do you really want to die here? At the moment of life and death, Qian Yu took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down, he knew that the more critical this kind of juncture, the more he had to calm down, so that he could have a glimmer of life, he closed his eyes, and then slowly opened them, and what greeted him was the villagers of Yunxi Village, all of them looked pious, this is their belief, and it is the spiritual support under hunger and cold.

That's right, since the villagers believe in God and want to get out of it, they just need to make some fuss about their gods, so why bother to talk to them about those unreasonable truths? Thinking of it, Qian Yu immediately spoke: "Stop, Buyi, I am a messenger sent by the water god, and I am here to save you, you killing me will only make the water god even more angry, don't stop it quickly!" ”

Qian Yu tried his best to make his tone dignified, but unfortunately his voice kept trembling under fear, and his voice was a lot hoarse when he yelled just now, and he didn't have any momentum at all.

Buyi glanced at him lightly, and his contemptuous eyes told Qian Yu clearly: "I don't believe it!" Bending down, the torch in Buyi's hand was getting closer and closer to the dry firewood.

These dry firewood have just been soaked in oil, although I don't understand why the guy who is already poor and can't even eat enough to eat has the money to buy oil, but there is a fact that cannot be avoided no matter what, that is, the fire really falls on the firewood and grass, and it is estimated that even if the firefighters of later generations come, they will not be able to save themselves, let alone the villagers in front of them.

I don't know if it's a return to the light, at this critical moment, Qian Yu said a sentence in a hurry: "You just recited the spell is fake, right?" ”

The torch in his hand stopped, the distance between the fire and the firewood was only half an inch, Bu Yi looked up at Qian Yu, his face was extremely ugly, and after a long time, his voice squeezed out from between his teeth: "What did you say?" ”

Call......

Qian Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and sure enough, the bet was right, almost, almost. He immediately shouted loudly, "I said that the incantation you just recited is false, and there are many errors in it, don't say that God can't hear it, and even if you hear it, your wish will not be fulfilled!" ”

Nonsense! The hammer next to Bu Yi couldn't help but reprimand: "This spell was learned by Uncle Bu Yi from Liu Banxian, it can communicate with heaven and earth, communicate with ghosts and gods, and has boundless mana, how can it be fake?" ”

"I think I learned it by stealing, Buyi, you stand in front of the altar and say it out loud in front of the big guys! There are gods three feet above your head, if you lie, be careful of five thunders in the sky! "Qian Yu swears by it, of course he dares to say so, as long as anyone with a little brain can think that Fang Shi's sacrificial spells are all top secret, and if they want to pass it on, they will also be passed on to their apprentices, and they have never heard of it, let alone Bu Yi is still his customer.

Seeing that Bu Yi was silent, Qian Yu didn't let people do it: "Everyone has heard it, your Bu Yi Dao Master used stolen spells to fool the gods, which has caused the public anger of the gods, you spent so much money to sacrifice to the gods, but the situation has not improved at all, he has to bear most of the responsibility!" ”

Qian Yu said righteousness and strictness, and what made him strange was that the villagers of Yunxi did not show the anger he imagined, they just secretly glanced at Bu Yi with a panicked expression.

Bu Yi snorted coldly: "You don't have to sow discord here, the spell just now was written down by everyone when Liu Banxian was doing it on the altar, and everyone knows about it." ”

Qian Yu was a little dumbfounded, what is the situation, collective stealing? And it seems that there is still an organization that is premeditated? Buyi continued: "I checked this spell three times, and I didn't dare to sacrifice it until there was no mistake. You say that there is a mistake and there is a mistake, so please tell me, what is the mistake in this sacrifice? ”

"Huh?" Facing Buyi's rhetorical question, Qian Yu couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded, stealing the teacher was so arrogant, there was absolutely no one before or since, he was already speechless when asked.

Seeing Qian Yu being asked by himself, Buyi was also relieved, he called on the villagers to steal the spell was also a helpless move, every time he asked Liu Banxian to make a move, it cost five taels of silver, this money was good to say before, but now the salt production of Yunxi Yanjing is declining, and the big guy can't even eat, where is the spare money to invite him?

This matter is well known to everyone in Yunxi Village, even Liu Banxian knows that Qian Yu has been with the Hesui brothers and sisters these days, and he must have heard of it, he was a little suspicious of Qian Yu's bluffing, and after a try, it was really so, hum, it almost made him fool him. Buyi sneered: "I can't say it!" I advise you to be honest, as a sacrifice, the god of water does not like liars. ”

After Buyi said this, the villagers of Yunxi Village also reacted, they looked at Qian Yu with an angry expression, this guy's nonsense just now scared the big guy enough, and he must not be spared.
