Chapter 197 Sacrifice to Hebo (its subscription, ask for a monthly pass)

In the endless nothingness, the river of time rises and falls, and in the long river of time, there is a small boat walking, and there is a book on the boat, Journey to the West, going upstream, rushing to the past time and space.

Time and space are ebbing and falling, and the past is changing.

It continued to impact and swim upstream, but at a certain point in time and space, suddenly the boat disappeared, turned into a ray of light, and fell in a certain direction.

……

Da Chu, Emperor Wen in a certain year.

At this moment, it has been a hundred years since the founding of Great Chu.

After the initial chaos, the world became stable, and with the recuperation, the people of the world gradually had no worries about food and clothing, and there was not much forced labor, and gradually entered the era of well-off.

It was a good time.

A time of peace and happiness for the people.

In the imperial capital, in the academy, the imperial examination is being held, and the imperial examination is set up for the selection of talents.

At this moment, many candidates are taking exams, and in the spacious courtyard, on the exam desk, there is a scholar answering questions, brushing a little bit.

Bang Bang!

Just then, the gong sounded.

One after another, some candidates put down their brushes, and some teachers stepped forward and began to clean up the exam papers.

One by one, the scholars walked out of the courtyard one after another, some happy, some sad, some helpless, and some cried.

The imperial examination is the only chance to change fate.

In today's era, the class is becoming more and more solidified, the upward channels are becoming more and more narrow, and the family background, background, and connections limit the development of some people.

Many people work hard all their lives, and it is impossible to surpass their fathers.

Father, it's the ceiling!

Many times, the effort is useless.

However, the imperial examination has given many low-level poor doors, and the upward ladder is also the only ladder.

A poor scholar walked out of the examination room, his clothes were a little shabby, obviously his family background was not very good, and he recalled the content of the examination room, and felt a little uneasy in his heart.

"I'm probably going to fall off the list!"

The poor scholar was uneasy.

A few days later, the list was pasted out, and there was a list of about 200 people on it.

The poor scholar looked carefully and did not miss every word, but after reading carefully, he was endlessly disappointed because there was no name on it.

Some people are cheering, some are looking for rejoicing, but some people are crying.

The poor scholar wanted to cry, but he couldn't.

After graduating from the academy but not making the list, the poor scholar had no choice but to pack his package and set foot on the way home.

"I'm not reconciled!"

"My grandfather is a farmer, my father is a farmer, do I have to be a farmer, I am not reconciled!"

On the way home, the poor scholar was unwilling.

studied for ten years, in order to get ahead and change his fate, but he is good.

Ten years later, it's business as usual.

Ten years later, after spending countless money from his family, he still returned home to farm and become a farmer.

As they walked, the closer they got to home, the slower the poor scholars became, afraid of their parents' disappointment.

At night, docked in the inn, lying on the dilapidated bed, Liu Yan was full of unwillingness and endless grievances.

It is said that the ancestor was Liu Bang, the king of Pei, and later Liu Bang rebelled and was killed by Taizu.

But Taizu was merciful, and did not liquidate Liu Bang's descendants, but treated them preferentially.

According to their parents, their ancestors were also nobles.

But in the academy, none of the classmates who studied were born nobles, and some of them had royal surnames and were relatives of His Majesty today.

But how, five suits have already been released.

The blood is also weak, and the friendship is weak.

By the time of my grandfather's generation, there was no doubt that he was with the commoners.

"If you can't study, you can only go to the army! Joining the army is another chance to change your fate! ”

The poor scholar said.

Because he was born in a poor family and wanted to change his fate, the opportunities were limited, one was to be an official in the imperial examination, and the other was to go to be a soldier.

It's not easy to be a soldier.

The army pays attention to blood.

Only with noble blood can become a captain or a general.

As for a poor man like him, he became a centurion at the highest.

Brush!

At this moment, meteors flickered in the sky, streaking across each other in the night sky, blooming with endless beauty in the night.

The meteor falls and turns into a brilliant gem.

"It's beautiful!"

Liu Yan was obsessed and reached out to grab the gem.

But at the moment of grasping the gem, a stream of pure energy enters the body, and a red flame burns around the body.

The flames contain a huge amount of vitality, and the vitality is endless, entering the body, transforming the body, the body is like a fire, bones, muscles, internal organs, etc.

Liu Yan felt the pain, but he wanted to scream, but he couldn't.

Intense pain, wave after wave, swept through the body, with indescribable pain all over the body.

At the same time, black dirt is excreted from the pores.

After struggling for a long time, Liu Yan stood up, feeling refreshed and feeling indescribably comfortable.

Boom Boom!

In the void, after a few punches, Liu Yan felt that his strength had increased a lot.

Under one punch, there is at least two thousand catties of strength.

"I'm done refining my bones!"

Liu Yan was surprised.

The imperial court is generous, and in the compulsory education curriculum of the imperial court, there are free exercises that can be easily learned.

For Liu Yan, who has no background, no background, and no qualifications, when he reaches the realm of bone refining, the speed will slow down, and it may take ten years to complete bone refining.

But it's just a severe pain, just after washing the marrow and removing the hair, it is the completion of bone refining.

As soon as his mind moved, Liu Yan immediately felt that the Dao aura was rolling in, along the pores, into the flesh and blood, moisturizing the flesh, and the body was always strengthening.

Even if he doesn't cultivate, his martial arts cultivation is improving all the time, and he is getting stronger all the time.

If you take the initiative to cultivate, the speed will be faster.

At the same time, Liu Yan felt that he had become smarter and his memory had improved, and he used to memorize texts that he could only memorize for a long time, but now he can remember them just by reading them once.

In the past, it took a long time to think about math problems, but now I just look at them and remember them.

This is a change in the physique, what used to be a piece of rotten wood, but now it has become a beautiful jade.

In the past, the potential was limited, like a small pond; But now the potential is huge, it's a sea.

There are infinite possibilities and infinite futures.

"I'm here, my physique has improved, and I have become a special physique!"

Liu Yan said slightly excitedly.

There are two types of people in the world, who are bound to get ahead, one type of people have a background background, poor qualifications, poor understanding, and still mix well;

There is also a group of people with top qualifications, even if they are born averagely, they can be recruited.

If you have a special physique, you will be recruited by the imperial court in advance.

Before entering the academy, he was inspected, and his qualifications were average, and he was not a special physique, just a mortal physique.

In fact, most of the people in the nine layers and ninety-nine are mortals.

But now, he has turned into a special physique.

"This special physique seems to be an innate Dao body!" Liu Yan thought.

The innate Dao body has two major characteristics, one is that the cultivation speed is fast, it absorbs spiritual energy at all times, and it is always in cultivation; A person with a strong understanding of the exercises, the understanding of the exercises is top-notch.

Suppressing the ecstasy in his heart, Liu Yan saw a book again, named "Journey to the West".

With curiosity, Liu Yan opened the book, but he quickly became fascinated and indulged in the world of the book.

………

Wei State, wilderness.

Xiang Yu frowned slightly, feeling that the long river of time and space was undulating, the waves were constantly surging, and the past had been changed.

The past remains unchanged, which is the foundation of the Sumeru Sutra of the Past.

Because changing the past will have a huge impact on the present and the future, and may lead to the disappearance of some of the future, irreversible changes.

However, at this moment, perceiving the changes in time and space, Xiang Yu realized that the past could be changed.

It's as if motion is absolute, and stillness is relative to the earth, and seeing that the earth is stationary, the sun is stationary, etc., it doesn't mean that these are really stationary, but that the reference object is changing.

In the past, the Sumeru Sutra was classical mechanics; The godhead of time and space, changing the past, is quantum mechanics.

In classical mechanics, what is reasonable is wrong in quantum mechanics.

Urging the godhead of time and space, Xiang Yu can travel through the past and change the past.

In the same way, people can travel through the past, meddle in the past, and change the past.

Changing the past is not difficult for some top-tier beings.

Of course, changing the past is not about doing whatever you want.

Some people can change the past, but they can't change the past as they want.

It is not difficult to change the past, but it is difficult to bear the cause and effect.

A fist hits a wall, it can collapse a wall with a punch, it can also bleed from a fist, or even a broken fist.

"The general trend remains the same, and the small trend can be changed."

"It's like, a certain traverser, traveling to the past, so that Zhao Shi Huang is gone, some are just Chu Shi Huang, Zhao Shi Huang, this is not a big problem, just a small change!"

"But a certain traverser, crossing into the past, causing the unification of China to disappear, falling into the general division of Europe, is the general trend of change, that is certain death!"

Xiang Yu pondered.

The general trend cannot be changed, even if he is ten times stronger, it still cannot be changed.

It is possible to build dams and reservoirs on rivers to make use of them, but it is not possible to make the river flow backwards.

He travels through time and space, and he can change some things, but some things can't.

Meddling in the past and trying to change the past may not really change.

It's like a palace from a palace may not become a palace.

……

After just staying for a few days, Xiang Yu continued to go east.

Along the way, stop and stop, walk in various towns, as well as in the big city, speaking of which, you can see all kinds of temples one after another, land temples, locust temples, river temples, dragon king temples, etc., all kinds of large and small temples are scattered everywhere, densely packed.

These temples, some of them are simple, some are luxurious, and they can be numerous.

The incense of the temple is vigorous.

Many people are chattering and chanting, and they seem to be pious.

These were unbelievable in the past.

Two hundred years ago, the sacrifice was only to sacrifice to the ancestors, or to sacrifice the five emperors, as for the sacrifice of the Emperor of Heaven, the Heavenly Court, and the gods of all walks of life, there was none.

In just 200 years, the Emperor of Heaven set up a dense incense system in the world.

Along the way, Xiang Yu's mood became heavier and heavier.

As I walked and passed by a village, I suddenly saw a team of hundreds of people, dressed gorgeously and fancy, blowing and beating, and it was very lively, as if marrying.

In the middle of the procession, there are three Hachidai bridges.

Among the eight sedan chairs, there were a pair of boys and girls, dressed in bright red clothes, the oldest was seven or eight years old, and the youngest was only three years old.

Xiang Yu looked at the team and was slightly surprised.

At this moment, the procession continued to move forward and reached the altar, draped in red and hung with colors.

In the midst of the blowing and beating, they reached the altar, and then six children were carried up to the altar, and in order to prevent the children from struggling, the children were bound hand and foot, and could not move.

"Hebo bless, the wind and rain are smooth!"

"Offerings are delivered, and a good harvest is blessed for the coming year!"

"Hebo bless!"

Suddenly, the crowd knelt on the ground, chanting words and praying to the gods.

Xiang Yu flashed anger and stepped forward and said, "What are you doing here?" ”

When an old man who looked to be sixty or seventy years old on crutches stepped forward, bowed down and said, "We are sacrificing to Hebo!"

"Sacrifice of virgins and boys is not a god, but a demon!"

Xiang Yu shouted.

Immediately, the ranks were in an uproar, and some of the people were angry.

As soon as the old man raised his hand, everyone immediately fell silent.

The old man said: "It is inhumane to use boys and girls to sacrifice to Hebo. As long as three pairs of boys and girls are sacrificed every year, Hebo will rain enough rain, the wind and rain will be smooth, and the people can have a good year! ”

"But if you don't sacrifice to Hebo, Hebo doesn't rain, the county suffers, the crops in the fields fail and the harvest fails, and I don't know how many people will flee the famine, or even starve to death!"

"It is said that one year, the sacrifice to Hebo was not thoughtful, and as a result, the grain production in the fields was reduced, and the people fled the famine, and thousands of people starved to death one after another. As for the children who died, there were thousands of them. ”

"How many children drown every year because they can't afford to raise children; Because of the lack of care, how many children have died, too many. Sacrifice six children every year to please Hebo and ensure that the wind and rain in a county are smooth, and it is normal again! ”

"Dao Chief, do you think you should sacrifice Hebo?"

Xiang Yu was dumbfounded, what he said was so reasonable, I was speechless.

"Collided with the river cypress, can you afford it?"

"Hebo is angry, if it doesn't rain, you can walk away, what should we do?"

"Dao Chief, let's leave, don't do bad things with good intentions!"

At this moment, the crowd was agitated, and everyone blamed him.

Xiang Yu was speechless, what you said made sense.

"Beat him away!

At this moment, countless people made a move, waving sticks and hitting Xiang Yu.

Many people looked at Xiang Yu and were furious, as if they had killed their father's enemy.

Xiang Yu's figure flickered, and he fled.

The overlord of Chu, who once won a hundred battles, was defeated for the first time!
