Chapter Twenty-Six: On the Sacrifice
After entering the study, I found that the decoration of the study was quite simple, and the room was not big, only forty or fifty square meters.
There is a long table in the middle, and there are a few books on the long table, and there are only some books on the shelves.
In fact, it can be understood, after all, relatively speaking, there are not many people who read books in the Jiuli Dynasty, and most people are just vassals and elegant, and they do not have the habit of reading books, and the people of the Jiuli Dynasty do not have the habit of putting some secret information in the study, so Li Yuan is not afraid of accidentally seeing the secret of Fushi and committing a taboo
A lot of knowledge can't be learned from books, most of these books are just some customs, human geography, and some so-called combat experience.
The rest of the books are okay, but this battle experience is generally written by some first- and second-order martial artists, and the viewing value is not great, and the fastest people who generally die are these people who believe in the master's experience, after all, the real powerful monks will not make their experience public for tens or hundreds of years, and they are generally passed on by word of mouth to their family descendants,
Only those so-called masters who have less than half a bottle of water will write this kind of experience, and spread it widely to improve their reputation, and usually do not write about their core experience.
Therefore, few people who collect this kind of book have read this kind of book at all, and it is just used to fill the façade
Li Yuan took out a travelogue from the bookshelf, which was written by a traveler named "Tian Guangyu", probably about some well-known landforms, mountains, rivers, etc. in the Central Plains of Jiuli, this book was more popular in the two dynasties, and many were printed
Li Yuan opened the travelogue and looked at the Jiuli chapter inside, just to see the scenery of Jiuli, or to determine the next destination he was going to.
Seeing this piece of Dayu Village, Li Yuan found that there is a very interesting place inside, this place is called "Hidden Valley" Look at this travelogue and say, the valley is more dangerous, and the terrain is rugged, it is extremely difficult to enter, but there are countless treasures, and there are some exercises left by predecessors,
Of course, these are just rumors, but what interests Li Yuan is that from this book, this valley is not far from Dayu Village, and it can be reached in almost two days' foot.
Wait for yourself to rest in Dayu Village for a few days and replenish the supplies, and then you can go to this place to see,
In this way, Li Yuan immersed himself in this book this day, although this book is not too thick, but the content in it is quite complicated, if you don't pay attention to it, it is easy to miss some information,
Early the next morning, Li Yuan was woken up by the servant, saying that he was asked to prepare, and the sacrificial activities were about to begin, Fushi was waiting in the main hall, Li Yuan hurriedly cleaned up, and ran to the main hall to meet Fushi,
After arriving at the main hall, Li Yuan hurriedly came to visit Fushi and asked the master's family to wait, which was a very rude behavior.
Today's Fushi dress is different from the past, the body is no longer wearing brocade clothes, but changed into a black and blue priest suit, this priest dress looks like it has been some years, wearing a crown, the upper body is a black round neck, the clothes are embroidered with some complicated patterns, the lower body is a black base, the hem is tied with a blue cloth, the cloth is embroidered with a mighty giant snake, Li Yuan knows, this is the totem of the entire Jiuli belief, "Candle Nine Yin"
Candle Nine Yin: The god of Zhongshan, known as Candle Yin, is regarded as day, blind as night, blowing as winter, calling as summer, and breathing as wind.
Today's Fushi is also different from yesterday's kindness, after wearing this sacrificial dress, the whole person looks solemn and serious,
After seeing Li Yuan, Fushi just nodded, didn't say anything, and walked out of the gate with his feet, and Li Yuan also followed behind Fushi.
Soon came to the stone statue of Dayu, there are already many people standing here, and some people are rushing here one after another,
Soon came to the stone statue of Dayu, the villagers had already gathered here, with the order of Fushi, the villagers scattered and began to move in three different directions
Li Yuan was a little curious, and he couldn't understand the process of this sacrifice, so he asked the Fushi next to him,
This Fushi explained to Li Yuan in a serious voice, it turned out that there was a traditional activity before the sacrifice in Dayu Village, that is, to offer sacrifices to Dayu, that is, three animals, but the way of offering sacrifices is also different, the villagers will find the three most violent beasts in the mountains in advance, and arrest the three beasts and lock them up in three positions.
Then they were not given any food, and the three beasts were starved for three days and three nights, and the beasts at this time would become extremely irritable due to the effects of hunger, and the desire to attack was extremely strong, so to speak, they would bite people when they saw them.
At this time, the villagers will take up arms, and in the process of resisting the attack of the wild beasts, they will also drive the three wild beasts to another large cage, and the whole process can be regarded as extremely dangerous.
It is said that this is to commemorate the hunting skills taught to them by Dayu, and to show their bravery in front of the stone statue of Dayu, in order to tell Dayu that the skills he taught have not been abandoned,
Li Yuan also became interested after listening, and after saying goodbye to Fushi, he went to a place with the most villagers, and came to the front, only to see a big wild boar imprisoned inside, the wild boar was huge and almost two feet long, weighing at least a thousand pounds, with sharp fangs, and the hair on his body was standing up at this time.
The wild boar was obviously not used to so many people watching, and it was bumping into a fence, and after a while, the fence made of iron and wood had been bent by the impact, and I was afraid that it would be directly broken if it came a few more times.
At this time, a villager opened the fence, the wild boar seemed to have found the target, and rushed out directly, and the villagers outside were already waiting for the wild boar to come to the door.
I saw that the wild boar had just rushed out of the fence, and there were two big men with hoes in their hands, and began to smash towards the wild boar, and the wild boar was smashed screaming again and again, and after a twist and dodged another attack, a pig suddenly advanced, directly overturning seven or eight villagers who were about to come forward, and the wild boar that was originally surrounded rushed out of this gap.
The body directly crushed over the villagers who fell to the ground, and the villagers began to convulse as if they had been hit hard, and the screams were endless.
Before the wild boar could run for a while, several villagers stopped in front of him, waved his weapon and began to fight, and the wild boar had to change its position, and in this way, the wild boar changed its position again and again, and began to move in the predetermined direction.
At this time, an accident appeared, a teenager because he stood too close, and the movements of his hands were also very hard, and soon attracted the hatred of the wild boar, the wild boar directly stabbed, and the fangs in the mouth pierced directly towards the boy's stomach, the fangs were very sharp, just like this, the fangs were pierced out of the boy's stomach, and the boy didn't have time to twitch, the whole person was paralyzed and stopped breathing,
A group of people were stunned when they saw this scene, and then they were covered by the skyrocketing anger, and the weapon in their hands also smashed towards the wild boar, but the wild boar did not dodge or dodge, just shook his head slightly, and threw off the young man's corpse, and then began to tear up the young man's corpse
When the villagers saw that the wild boar was still ruining the corpse, they all rushed up, and one of the villagers still held a machete in his hand, so he violently slashed at the wild boar, but the wild boar was huge, and which machete cut on the body without leaving a wound at all.
Li Yuan was also stunned by this bloody scene, this sacrificial activity was so dangerous, the young man who was alive just now was gnawed into a mess of meat in a blink of an eye.
After eating the bloody food, the wild boar's strength was replenished, and it became even more crazy, and pounced on a villager, whose huge body directly crushed the villager to the ground.
When Li Yuan saw this, he also hurriedly intercepted the wild boar, but Li Yuan didn't bring any blades when he went out, and the weapons in the inventory were not easy to conjure up in public, so he had to go up and fight with his bare hands.
I saw Li Yuan holding the fangs with both hands and using all his strength to lift the wild boar to the general and rescue the villager who was crushed by the wild boar, the villager looked very miserable at this time, being crushed by a thousand catties of wild boar, and his whole body had sunk down, obviously the bones had been crushed,
Due to the pressure of heavy objects on the face, the eyeballs protruded, and the muscles on the face have been flattened.
Li Yuan didn't care about the villager's injury, and the top priority was to deal with the wild boar.
The wild boar got up, shook his head, and went out towards the villagers again, Li Yuan took the lead, rushed towards the wild boar without dodging, grabbed the fangs with both hands, and began to fight each other,
Although the wild boar is huge and full of strength, it still seems to be insufficient for Shang Li Yuan's strength.
Soon the wild boar was weak enough, and as soon as he relaxed, Li Yuan grabbed the fangs, and with a borrowed force, the whole person climbed directly onto the back of the wild boar, picked up his fist and began to punch and punch.
The wild boar was attacked in the back of the head, and ran frantically, trying to throw Li Yuan down, but Li Yuan firmly grabbed the wild boar's mane with one hand, and the whole person showed no signs of falling.
The other hand was still hammering, and after a while, the wild boar stopped moving, lying on the ground motionless, Li Yuan was still not at ease, and ordered the villagers to throw a machete and slash at the boar's head,
Sure enough, the wild boar was pretending to be dead, and was cut down by Li Yuan, jumped up again, and was about to rush towards the villagers, but with the help of weapons, Li Yuan's attack was even more ferocious, and before the wild boar could run two steps, it fell straight down again
Li Yuan slashed a few more times, and found that there was no reaction at all, and now he should be completely dead.
Li Yuan dropped the machete, and some of the blood on the clothes on his body had been glued, but now Li Yuan didn't have time to care about these details, and looked at the injured villager again, and saw that the villager's injuries were now much more serious.
Blood has begun to ooze from many places on the body, and it should be that the meridians of the body have been crushed by heavy objects.
