Chapter 437: Arson

Li You felt that his conjecture was correct, after all, in this era, it was still relatively close to the three dynasties, and it was relatively normal for the mountain people to retain their primitive customs. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Li You does not think that there is any inevitable connection between Niguzhai and the Yin Shang Dynasty. In fact, in the era of three generations and three generations ago, human martyrdom and human sacrifice were very common.

In fact, in the Spring and Autumn Period, human martyrdom was still a thing that people were accustomed to, and only after entering the Warring States Period, the rise of the feudal landlord class, the active Warring States Period, and the population had become a precious resource, the scale of human martyrdom was proudly reduced. And the real meaning of ending human martyrdom was not explicitly terminated until the middle of the Ming Dynasty.

Looking from afar, Li You saw that on a high platform made of wood, several wizards with paint and Fuyi masks were surrounding a pile of braziers, singing songs in their mouths that they didn't know what kind of tune, the whole person was constantly twitching and jumping like a sheep crazy, and the voice was loud, far away, Li You could still hear the sound clearly. From time to time, there are bursts of drums and horns blowing next to it, which sounds quite solemn.

Li You only felt that there was something wrong. In his opinion, the Wild Bird would never be interested in watching these creatures wander around and release such a mess of noise when they were enjoying the sacrifice. If he was a fierce hoof, he would go crazy if he didn't get it right, and swallowed this group of guys who pretended to be ghosts. Li You thought maliciously. But he soon felt that maybe the idea of the wild bird was the same as his, but this kind of behavior of killing chickens and taking eggs was naturally not done by the wild tiger with high intelligence. As long as these guys are turned around and ghosted, and the worldly power is consolidated, it can enjoy the worship for a long time. Why not

Li You smiled bitterly, thought about it, and quietly lurked towards the locked position. He had found the location of the human and animal animals.

But when he was less than two hundred meters away from humans and animals, Li You stopped. He had to stop. Because he saw that there were dozens of hunters guarding the people and animals, he was obviously worried that someone would come out to make trouble.

Li You was slightly stunned. Niguzhai does not have the slightest loophole in terms of security, and it is cautious to the extent that Li You feels excessive. Of course, these defenses couldn't stop Li You's sneaking, but without alarming the guards, the difficulty of releasing the people and animals trapped in the wooden cage was not ordinary.

"Gotta figure figure out." Li You frowned. Looking around, he found it a little difficult to get started. He broke through the barracks of the Qing army. But compared to the layout of the Qing army's barracks and the Niguzhai hunters, it looks like a joke. It's hard to believe which one is an amateur and which one is a professional. But it is undeniable that these hunters are more disciplined and efficient in setting traps and patrolling arrangements than their regular armies.

For such an arrangement of Niguzhai, Li You also felt a little at a loss for a while. But soon, his attention was drawn to the sudden sound of gongs and drums and horns, and the wizard on the wooden platform was clearly at his best, his cape was scattered, and his thick waist was twisted out of the difficulty of a belly dancer, and the spell in his mouth was still something, and it became more exuberant and loud. Li You frowned, and it was obvious that this ceremony was about to come to an end. Once the ritual of the sacrifice is over, it should be time to place the offerings.

Li You squinted his eyes and looked at the wooden platform at the wizard's feet, his eyes lit up. Although the wooden platform has been soaked in rain for a long time, it should still catch fire under the burning of grease.

Thinking of this, an evil smile appeared on Li You's face. Diving to the side, he pulled out two torches, and put them under his nose to smell the strong smell of animal fat. Li You has long been accustomed to this taste, and he has no likes or dislikes. He aimed at the wooden platform, and the torch was thrown over. It is impossible for a torch to burn a wooden platform.

Suddenly, Li You was like a ghost, rushed out, pulled out all the partners he saw, threw them at the wooden platform, and deliberately aimed at the wizard's chubby body, and finally, Li You also flew up a fist-sized stone, smashing the wooden platform over the wooden platform around the dancing copper basin, and for a while, the scattered bonfires and more than 30 torches that were thrown over ignited the wooden platform

As soon as the first torch hit the ground, the wizard sensed that something was wrong. However, before he could fully react, two torches in succession were aimed at him, one of which hit him in the head, smashing the mask on his face and smashing him into a daze, while the second torch knocked him to the ground, and before he could scream, the brazier covered his body, and the grease on the ground had spread, soaking his body at once, igniting the fire. In less than five seconds, the wizard turned into a burning man, got up from the ground, let out a terrible scream, and threw himself down the wooden platform

"It's on fire," exclaimed the onlookers. Then someone howled: "The owner of the village is burned"

"Help"

"Grandpa Yamagami is angry"

"For a time, the villagers were in great terror, nothing like this had ever happened. The process of worshipping the mountain god is extremely sacred, and every move is protected by the mountain god, and after each sacrifice, the mountain god will be blessed with the power of the mountain god. However, this time it seems that this is not the case, and the lord of the village, who acts as a sorcerer, was burned by a torch that fell from the sky near the end of the sacrifice

Isn't this a direct manifestation of the mountain god's condemnation, and the superstitious mountain people were so frightened that they forgot for a while that it was time to put out the fire and save people.

As more and more people shouted for help, many shocked hunters and villagers reacted, ripped off a handful of rain-stained branches and rushed over, slapping at the place where the fire was spreading. However, the fire was difficult to control.

Li You didn't know that he was crooked. The wooden platform is to be burned after the sacrifice is completed. This is also the final step of the whole ceremony. Because of the rain, the Niguzhai side was afraid that the wood would be wet and could not ignite, so they used tung oil to pour the wooden frame again, which facilitated Li You's arson. Unguarded, even the old man of the village owner was tricked.

Li You didn't care about the life or death of this guy who danced the big god. After the wooden platform was burned, it is estimated that soon the fierce hooves also noticed the situation outside, and if they came out of the underwater cave, it would be a lot of fun. After seeing that the hunters guarding the people and livestock had all rushed to put out the fire, Li You took advantage of the chaos to rush to the edge of the wooden cage, and pulled the chain hard, and the chain with the thickness of the baby's arm suddenly broke open, looking at the hundreds of captives with haggard faces inside, but obviously cleanly washed, and said: "Come out, run quickly, run towards the road outside the mountain, I can help you stop for ten minutes at most."

However, the captured human and animal looked at Li You blankly, their eyes full of fear. They all noticed the fire outside, but Li You, who suddenly appeared in front of them, they didn't pay attention.
