Chapter 263: Where to go
"I'll go over and take a look," Xu Fu said, and was about to raise his legs and follow the officer away, but stopped halfway, turned to Mo Yan and Meng Jiang and said, "If you two are fine, why don't you come over and take a look?" ”
Listening to him, he said that he wanted to see the boys and girls who had been brought with the ship. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The term "boys and girls" refers to boys and girls who are not yet married. Over the years, virgins have been sacrificed to the gods, taking the meaning of purity as a sign of piety and respect.
Xu Fu ostensibly wanted to use these boys and girls to appease the so-called sea god's wrath, in order to obtain a secret path to enter the immortal mountain. But now the three of them understand in their hearts that the so-called theory of the immortal mountain and the sea god is all imaginary, and it was made up by Xu Fu in order to seek another development.
Then these boys and girls are obviously no longer used for sacrifice, but the future people in the ideal kingdom that Xu Fu wants to establish.
He would have such a plan, and Mo Yan could guess a few points about the reason.
Regarding the law of man's own growth, it has long been expounded in the Neijing, the core of which is to point out that the life cycle of men is enhanced on the basis of 8:
At the age of eight, the kidneys are solid, and the hair has long teeth.
The two eight kidneys are full of qi, the sky is full, the essence is overflowing, the yin and yang are harmonious, so there can be children.
The 38 kidney qi is average, and the muscles and bones are strong, so the true teeth are born and grow poles.
The muscles and bones are strong, and the muscles are strong.
Five-eight kidney qi failure, hair and teeth.
Six or eight yang qi is exhausted on the top, the face is burnt, and the sideburns are white.
Seven or eight liver qi failure, tendons can not move.
Eight or eight days of exhaustion, little sperm, kidney failure, and extreme shape. then the teeth are gone.
Twenty-eight can have children, so generally men under the age of 16 are boys.
And women take 7 as the cycle of life stages:
At the age of seven, the kidneys are vigorous and the teeth are longer.
Twenty-seven and the day is to, Ren pulse is through, Taichong pulse is prosperous, and the moon is in the present, so there is a son.
Sanqi kidney qi is average, so the true teeth are born and grow poles.
The muscles and bones are strong, the hair is extremely long, and the body is strong.
Wuqi Yang Ming's veins are declining, the face is scorched, and the hair is falling.
The six, seven, and three yang veins are declining on the top, the face is scorched, and the hair is white.
Qiqi Ren has a weak pulse, Taichong has a weak pulse, the sky is exhausted, and the tunnel is impassable, so the shape is bad and childless.
Twenty-seven and can be conceived, so under the age of 14 is called a virgin.
When people are in the stage of being a boy and a girl, they are called pure yang bodies, with vigorous vitality and strong plasticity, and it can almost be said that the physique, personality, concepts, and habits formed at this time will affect them for decades in their lives, and it is extremely difficult to change them.
Such a group of people are really the most suitable candidates for the future people of a country, and it will no longer be their original parents who shape them and supervise their growth, but Xu Fu, who has enjoyed a long life!
At the beginning of this voyage, Xu Fu arranged these children in the bilges of the last few ships in the name of safety, preferring to bring fewer supplies and personally ensure that they followed him. Now, Xu Fu cares so much about the condition of these children, I'm afraid it's not kind, it's mainly for his so-called great cause.
Mo Yan and Meng Jiang saw him invite, glanced at each other, didn't say anything, silently followed Xu Fu off the boat, and returned to the previous Pujia.
As Mo Yan saw before, these children were brought in some large cages, and after getting on the boat, they were still in the cages, arranged on the bottom floor of the building boat, in a separate space.
After the three of them got on the boat, before they could go down the bottom floor, they heard a commotion from inside, which was generally the crying of children. In that situation, adults were still terrified, let alone such a young child.
Although Mo Yan quickly noticed that all corners of the cage they were in were firmly fixed with iron chains, not only would they not move and overturn, but also played a certain protective role, it was not a good experience for the hull to hit the wooden grid when it swayed, and it was natural for children to make such trouble.
There were no female officers on the ship, and now they were all big men trying to appease them, but the effect was obviously not great, and the children were in pain, frightened, and hysterical.
But as the three of them entered the cabin, the children's cries seemed to slowly subside when they saw them, and they all looked at them with wide eyes and curiosity.
At first, Mo Yan thought that their reaction was because of Meng Jiang, after all, Meng Jiang is a woman, and children always have a natural affinity for women. But soon, he found that the child was not just paying attention to Meng Jiang, but also looking at Xu Fu. And Xu Fu didn't do anything deliberately, just looked at them with a kind of attention.
"Do you know where these children come from?" After a long time, the cabin had slowly calmed down, and the children began to eat, drink and play separately, but Xu Fu suddenly said to Mo Yan and Meng Jiang.
This was actually Mo Yan's earlier question. When these children were brought in, they didn't see anyone like their parents following them, and their own flesh and blood were taken away like this, even if they were blinded by rhetoric, at least they would come to watch because they were reluctant, right?
At this time, Xu Fu took the initiative to tell the reason: "They are all former Qi people, and their parents and family members died early because of natural disasters and plagues, especially in the war with Daqin. ”
Orphan? These children are orphans!
Although I don't know if what Xu Fu said is the truth, but Qi is the last country to be conquered by Great Qin, speaking of which, it was only two or three years ago, and it is normal that the trauma caused by the war to the people has not been calmed down so far, and the orphans created by the war, not to mention the hundreds of them you see in front of you?
Xu Funa's ambition to play with other people's lives is certainly chilling, but what would have been their fate if he hadn't taken these children away?
But just because you are stealing your life, do you have to live a life at the mercy of others at a young age? If one day they were asked to look back, would they feel happy or regretful? ……
Sometimes, it's really not a simple either/or choice.
Therefore, Mo Yan and Meng Jiang were silent when they heard his words.
When the three of them walked to the deck of the Pujia again, Xu Fu said to them again: "Both of you are talents, so I still want to ask you again, do you really want to go with me to build a paradise with your own hands?" ”
Because of the influence of those children just now, Mo Yan's mind was a little trance-like, but when he heard Xu Fu ask like this, he suddenly realized.
No wonder Xu Fu wanted to take them to see these children, and deliberately mentioned the fact that they were orphans, which was to grasp the psychological weakness of the two's sympathy, and once again take the opportunity to win them over!
The technique of manipulating people's hearts, Xu Fu really has mastered it to the peak!
Mo Yan was not in a hurry to answer, but looked at Meng Jiang beside him. Her face was still pale, but her eyes were more intense than just now, and she smiled slightly at this time, and said to Xu Fu: "Master Xu, a place like Xanadu will always exist in that place that you can't reach. ”
Xu Fu frowned, looked directly at Meng Jiang, but after a while, he returned to his calm demeanor, turned to Mo Yan and said, "I guess you don't need to ask Mo Yan Gongzi, you must be advancing and retreating with Master Meng Jiang, right?" ”
Before Mo Yan could answer, he had already shouted in a deep voice: "Herald, notify all the personnel to assemble under the Pu Jia!" ”
"Childe, I'm fine, I can go by myself." Mo Yan was turning his head to look around, and Meng Jiang whispered in his ear.
Just now, because of her vitality, Mo Yan has been holding her shoulder, and now that she said this, Mo Yan suddenly realized the number of etiquette, quickly let go of his hand, and asked after coughing a little embarrassedly, "You...... What's next? ”
Originally, Xu Fu was very jealous of Meng Jiang's strength, so he didn't dare to make a mistake. That's why he threatened the lives of the whole ship and achieved the goal of weakening Meng Jiang. Next, it is probably to blatantly follow his established route and go straight to his ideal country. Under such circumstances, if Meng Jiang refused to serve him, but continued to be with him, the risk would be too great!
And Mo Yan, although he may also pose a threat to him, he seems to have seen that Mo Yan will not leave Meng Jiang alone, if Meng Jiang decides to let go, Mo Yan will naturally escort her back, and he will not pester him anymore.
Now Mo Yan and Meng Jiang looked at each other, and they both thought of this layer, so Mo Yan asked this question, wondering how Meng Jiang would face such a helpless defeat.
Without waiting for Meng Jiang to answer, he only heard Xu Fu already standing on the high platform at the bow of the ship, and said loudly downward: "Everyone has also seen the scene of the wrath of the Seagod, the Holy Lord is merciful and has sent us to seek the method of immortality and peace for the people, but it will definitely not cost you your lives!" Now I will give you a chance to make a choice, whether to follow me and continue to move forward, not to reach the Immortal Realm, or to return and witness to the Holy Saint our bravery and determination! Now limited to one pillar of incense, those who want to continue, get on the six ships here, ready to go; If you want to go back, get on the six boats opposite, and each person can also get a gold ingot, and talk about living in peace! ”
After that, he ordered someone to put an incense burner beside him, and put an incense stick in the middle and lit it. At the same time, there were several people who had already brought several trays and opened them with a "bang", and inside were neatly stacked gold ingots! (To be continued.) )
