In the first year of Emperor Xin, mangs.

Every year on the day of the autumn harvest, on the whole land, except for the barbarians of the Rong people and the ghost side in the north, the people of China will hold a huge sacrificial ceremony.

It is not only to congratulate the autumn harvest, but also to sacrifice to the ancestors and gods.

Since the day of the mang, the princes of each family began to prepare for the sacrifice of their own families and the tributary merchants for the autumn festival.

The position of the autumn sacrifice, the main position is the ancestor, the three emperors and five emperors and other ancient sages are the first, and then according to the order of their respective ancestors, two shows, three shows, and four shows (tablets or temple numbers), the longer the inheritance of the clan and the city-state, the more exaggerated the rules and groups, the more huge the number of people and animals required.

For example, the royal family of the Great Shang, each group involves a number of direct or collateral ancestors, constituting the so-called collective temple masters, often according to different identities, status and blood relations, and the intricate merchants have formulated dozens of rituals.

For example: cutting (beheading), Xi (holding the axe to split the head), Mao (cutting it in half from top to bottom), etc., and so on.

Secondly, the sacrifice is a god, generally speaking, different regions will have different gods of autumn sacrifices, but in northern Xinjiang and Dashang, it is mainly the sacrifice of the queen Tuniangniang, as well as the autumn god - harvest.

In previous years, Meng Wei also wondered whether the gods respected human sacrifice, but for the ancestors, regardless of whether there was reincarnation or not, did they really like this bloody cannibalistic drama?

Let's make a bold guess, in the past, in the primitive society, there was not much food, and the victorious side did not have so many resources to raise the captives, and they also had to worry about the rebellion of the captives, so they used human sacrifice to control the population, or deter the enemy. But now it is different, a method suitable for primitive times has been continued to the present, and has become a complex and complicated ritual, and even later generations have invented various ways of sacrifice step by step.

Just like Confucius's core idea is benevolence and courtesy, advocating that benevolent people love others, and advocating that they should not do to others what they do not want to be done to themselves. But with the passage of time, there will always be descendants with other purposes to turn a set of moral standards into tools and shackles that bind "humanity and benevolence".

Straight to the point.

This year is different from the past, in the past, all families were worried about the rituals, and there were no rituals that were enough to set off their own identity and status, how could we let the ancestors see our prosperity? Let the gods favor our city-state?

Now the issue of rituals is no longer important, the important thing is people and animals, no rituals can only be said to be etiquette is not in place, if there is no livestock?

Isn't that just starving the gods? Even the gods can't get enough to eat, so who can expect a smooth year ahead?

This year is already full of disasters, if people and animals are not enough to worship, and continue to punish in the coming year, isn't that a vicious circle? Year after year it is not as good as it was in the previous years, and then it gets worse year after year?

At least, in this era, whether you say that the princes are ignorant, or involuntarily, at least at the moment, they do not dare to question this set of sacrificial rites.

No one understands the causes of disasters such as ice ages, floods, volcanoes, and meteorites.

In the same way, the world is extremely unbalanced. There are many of these naturally occurring natural disasters, and there are also many strange beasts or "immortals" who have the ability to create these natural disasters.

The aristocracy still has courtesy and pleasure, and for the common people, it is really just to live.

In the army, small sacrifices are usually set up to show respect for the ancestors and the autumn gods, but until the mangs are planted, Wen Taishi did not make any arrangements, maybe it is the Taishi of the sect and does not care about these.

In the commander's tent, Wen Taishi informed the generals of the situation in Yicheng, and then asked the public.

In fact, not only Wen Taishi, but everyone also scratched their ears and cheeks, dealing with the barbaric Kui Long and Hydra, it was nothing more than a typing, but if it was an epidemic disaster, it was really helpless.

The whole camp was silent for more than a quarter of an hour, and the most effective speech was made by Chao Lei.

rushed into Yicheng and slaughtered this guy directly.

If you can't solve the problem, you will slaughter the dragon that set up problems for the army, so there will be no more?

It's easy to put it.

What is a dragon? Its shape is like a cow with a white head, a glance and a snake tail, and its name is called a dragon. If you walk in water, you will be exhausted, if you walk in grass, you will die, and if you see it, there will be a great epidemic in the world.

The huge body is like a mountain, the strength is infinite, in addition to the power of the epidemic, other supernatural powers are also extremely powerful, moving mountains and reclamation, the sound is like a bell, moving like thunder, mixed in the thick fog of the epidemic.

If you want to kill him, you must at least break the epidemic qi first and get close, unless there can be a person like Da Yi in this group of people, and he can be killed with an arrow thousands of miles away.

Wen Taishi looked at the wind forest and asked in a deep voice, "Has Xuan Gong ever been on standby?" ”

Feng Lin replied: "Back to the Imperial Master, General Kong Xuan has led the four generals of the Demon Family to set up a large array of five elements outside Yicheng, trapping Yicheng and not allowing them to enter or exit. ”

Looking at the gloomy scene in the camp tent, Yu Qing, who had just joined the Chaoge crusade army, pondered for a while and said.

"Master, speaking of the plague, the disciple thought of a friend, maybe there is a way to deal with this plague beast."

"Who's there?"

Master Wen Taishi was also a little surprised, his two disciples had only a short time to get started, and their mana was not profound, but they could still know the masters and deal with this difficult plague beast.

"When my junior brother and I were in Biyou Palace, I befriended a senior brother from Kowloon Island, Zhu Tianlin, whose teacher Lu Yue was extremely proficient in plague spells, if even Senior Uncle Lu Yue couldn't solve this epidemic in the sky, then I'm afraid that only three masters in this world could subdue it."

Wen Taishi pondered, he knew that Lu Yue was a self-proclaimed Qi practitioner on Jiulong Island, and he was extremely strong in his skills, and he was also good at refining all kinds of magic weapons that specialized in the way of killing.

It's just that this person has always been unlikable in the sect, he is a good person, he loves face, and he will say when he meets people: I am the first in the sect, and Lu Yue's reputation is spread all over the world.

If this is boasted by others, it is just that, he himself boasts about it every day.

Not only did Wen Zhong dislike this person, but the entire inner and outer doors didn't like this refining master.

But if it is as his apprentice said, to restrain the plague, this Lu Yue seems to be able to really take on a big responsibility.

"But the sect leader has personally ordered that no one is allowed to go out of the mountain, this is ......"

Ji Li's personality is relatively jumpy, and when he saw that his master was embarrassed, he immediately came out and said.

"Master, there are thousands of disciples in the outer sect, how can the master and ancestor look at everyone in every aspect?"

"Since the day the mountain was closed, Uncle Duobao has controlled the people at the inner gate, and on the outer gate, Uncle Zhao himself has ridden the black tiger around to make friends and visitors."

"Some time ago, when the East China Sea came to the country, Luo Xuan of Huolong Island also had a dispute with Princess Longji, and there was a big fire, which burned the princess's guard of honor, and after Princess Longji went back, she threatened to refine the magic weapon of restraining fire!"

Master Wen tapped Ji Li with a whip and taught the apprentice a stern lesson.

"You said that you, all day long, listen to people's corners, and your mana is not improving, so you like to ask around for some strange anecdotes. If you don't practice again, do you want your senior brother to call an old man junior brother? ”

Reprimands are reprimands, but Ji Li's words also attracted Wen Zhong's attention.

The sect leader has always been tolerant of the outer gate, and rarely restricted, if he is an inner disciple, if he can personally invite the senior brother of the outer gate, and lower his body a little, he thinks that Lu Yue, who has always been arrogant, should help the army.

And just as generals love BMWs and soldiers love swords.

Lu Yue has always been known for plague spells, and when he encounters an ancient plague like this, he should be quite interested.

"Meng Wei, what did you do in the wounded camp in Yuncheng last time, what kind of disinfection did you?"

"If you were to be the former army commander, stationed in the first line of defense, responsible for intercepting the strange beasts and mortal beasts infected with the epidemic in Yicheng, would you have been sure?"

Meng Wei didn't answer immediately, first thinking about whether he could take over this important task.

If you fail to shoulder the responsibility of resistance, you will really look at the lives of hundreds of thousands of troops.

"Back to the Grand Master, Meng Wei is willing to take on this responsibility."

"But just in case, please ask the Taishi to add a defensive line to the back, even if Meng Wei dies, he will buy time for the follow-up generals to line up."

Wen Taishi nodded with satisfaction, this teenager is a little slippery, but he is still very good, kind-hearted, and dares to be the first.

"With the powerful general Meng Wei, lead the soldiers and horses of the right army, change to the front army, and deploy the first line of defense."

"Zhang Kui, the chief soldier of Michi Pass, lead the left army, and deploy the second line of defense."

"Deng Jiugong, the chief soldier of Sanshanguan, leads the affairs of the Chinese army camp and is responsible for the last Yishui camp."

"The Last General's Order!" The three of them took the order.

Deng Chanyu sneaked away from her father, silently stood in the array of the front army, kicked on Zhao Bing, who was about to make a question, and threatened Zhao Bing and other generals with the five-light stone in her hand.

"From today onwards, the armies will do their own thing, and the Nine Princes will be the towns."

"When I return to the camp, I will attack Yicheng again."

"No!!"

The five armies rotated, the army situation adjusted and operated, and at this time, Kong Xuan was not there, and when the Taishi had just left, a stubborn stone quietly disappeared in the mountains and forests outside the camp.

——————————————————————

"Senior brother, Kong Xuan and the four generals of the Demon Family are already trapped in Yicheng."

Wen Zhong also flew to the sea to find help.

"The connection between Chaoge City and the Beihai army has been severed, and it's time to make a move."

On a barren land, there is no distinction between east and west, north and south, only in the world where light shines.

Standing on the white clouds is a kind eyebrow, smiling Taoist man, wearing a treasure on his head solemn, his face is radiant, faintly seems to have a treasure light flowing, it is like a pearl and jade, natural brilliance, so that people do not look at it for a while, then give birth to admiration and closeness.

And he asked the other side.

On the top of the twelve-rank lotus throne sits a dignified Taoist, wearing a lotus rosary on his chest, wearing a white lotus robe, with a warm face, a crown on his head, a golden demon pestle under his body, a fluttering skirt, and a solemn treasure at the end.

But the Lotus Daoist covered his chest at this time, seemed to be a little uncomfortable, and did not answer his junior brother's question.

"Senior brother, is the god of Zhongshan really so powerful? Even you can't help him? ”

"If it weren't for the karma when shaking the heavenly power, it wouldn't be like this, I need to recuperate for a while, and the follow-up arrangements will bother my junior brother."

"Don't mention this matter to others again, the power of the god of Zhongshan contains time, which is a truth that the teacher has not touched, and it is not so easy to digest."

The Taoist on the white clouds folded his hands, bowed slightly, and replied with a smile: "But, senior brother, please recuperate, junior brother will do it himself." ”

After that, the lotus throne grew with lotus petals, and after a while, the Taoist on the lotus seat was wrapped into the lotus heart and escaped into endless light.

"Maitreya, if you want to go to Middle-earth for the sake of your teacher, then guard the door!"

Under the white clouds, a rich and lovely Taoist, with his ears hanging down, and the heavenly court was full, and when he heard the call, he immediately stepped forward and said to the white clouds: "Teacher, don't worry, Maitreya knows." ”

After that, the white clouds surged, and in less than a moment from the Western Elysium, they came in an instant.

Baiyun Dao people fade the clouds, respectfully along the stone steps, go up barefoot, there is a palace on the stone steps, Luan birds and songs, there is a golden decree at the main gate, the book "Wa Palace".

"The Western Sect is a quasi-Taoist and asks to see the ancestor of the Nuwa clan!"

Before the person arrived, the voice reached first, and the posture of the Taoist was very low, and the smiling appearance made the two boys at the door feel good at a glance.

"Spread the order of Emperor Wa, please invite the saint to enter the palace."

A decree came from the palace, and the girl opened the door and signaled for Zhun to enter.

Zhun Ti is not annoyed, since ancient times, the saints of the human race have emerged in an endless stream, and the Nuwa clan has a very high position, plus now there are requests for others, or the other party is unwilling to help things, it is not easy to see each other.

Coming out of the palace gate, the huge Wa Palace was empty, with six or seven maids, and there were no two outside.

The magnificent main hall was covered by a red tent, obviously because Nuwa was unwilling to meet this Taoist from afar.

Zhun Ti still greeted respectfully, and then asked: "Zhun Ti has seen Renzu Nuwa, dare to ask Emperor Wa if you still remember the signing of the contract in Zixiao Palace that day?" ”

Nuwa's gentle voice was fluttering, but it was clearly conveyed: "If I am not mistaken, there will be ten years left?" ”

"Yes, but if things change today, all of you have already laid out the layout in advance, and according to the agreement, please ask Emperor Wa to give me the three demons of Xuanyuan Tomb."

When Haotian God identified and asked the twelve golden immortals to participate in the gods, there were more of these three little demons in Xuanyuan's tomb to absorb a little bit of the emperor's qi and nourish their own bodies, otherwise there would be no emperor's spirit, and An Neng could enter the royal court of the great merchants, close to today's human emperor Xin?

"Heh, the ten-year period has not yet arrived, please go back to the prospective Daoist!"

The smile on Zhun Ti's face stopped abruptly, obviously he didn't expect Nuwa to reject him? Isn't that something that has been said for a long time?

"Emperor Wa, don't be kidding, these three demons are very important, please give them to me quickly, so ......"

A ball of red hydrangea flew out and hit Zhun Ti directly, Zhun Ti was shocked, the blessed pestle in his hand appeared, and with a blow blocked the hydrangea back to the red tent, he hurriedly took a few steps back.

"What does Emperor Wa mean? Why do you want to do it to the poor? ”

"Don't pretend with me, I'm a savage, I don't have the patience to play with you here, I'll tell you for the third time, the ten-year period has not arrived, where do you come from, where do you go back!"

"I've always been a man of my word, and I've never broken my word, and I can't do it before the time comes, go back to your Western world."

"Caiyun, Biyun, send off!"

Looking at the angry Nuwa clan in the red tent, Zhun Ti's face was bitter, it was impossible to fight her, not to mention whether she could fight or not, there were still a few brothers and juniors.

In a fight with her, no matter whether you win or lose, you have to be found by that group of crazy people, and when the time comes, it may not only be you who will be beaten, but the senior brother will also be pulled out of the endless light and beaten, and the entire Elysium will not be in ruins.

At this moment, Zhun Ti misses his senior brother a little, usually he does things for his senior brother, and he can implement it himself, but when he presides over a major event today, he knows that it is not easy for his senior brother.

Driven out of the Wa Palace by Caiyun and Biyun Boys like chickens and dogs, Zhun Ti looked dazed, pinching his fingers in his right hand and calculating something.

"Huh? How so? ”

Zhun Ti is getting more and more complicated, the originally clear heavenly opportunity has become extremely obscure, and all kinds of future possibilities are intertwined and confusing, and this time Zhun Ti's face is even more dazed.

This...... Why did this heavenly machine suddenly obscure? This doesn't match the plan the teacher said at all, right?

It's not normal, the plan has changed, there is a problem in the world, he can't figure out what caused it, and he actually mixed up the plan that the teacher discussed that day.

didn't care about arguing with Nuwa anymore, so Zhun Ti picked up his robe and ran down the steps.

Immediately after the white clouds surged, this Venerable with profound mana immediately returned to the Western Elysium.

"Senior brother, you are coming out soon, something is wrong."

"I beat Emperor Wa, and she refused to give me the three demons."

"Come out, brother."

"This god, he has become abnormal!"

Two-in-one chapter, please accept the middle father with a smile, can it be two chapters?
