Ziqiu came to inquire about the progress of water control, and Bo Yu happened to encounter the situation of water control, so he gave him a detailed introduction to what had happened recently. www.biquge.info Ziqiu changed color and said: "In the face of the Huaize Water Demon, even the true immortals of the Nether Realm have no good plan, what is Lord Boyu going to do?"

Bo Yu said with a serious expression: "The Huaize Water Demon is one of the flood disasters, and to eliminate its troubles is to cure the water." Governing the water is also governing the world, it is the business of the people of all tribes, and the evil is in the water, but the control of the water must start from the shore, and first eliminate the troubles of each tribe itself. ”

Ziqiu: "Do you want to take down those four Bojun first?" But if it is not handled properly, the water demon has not been eliminated, and the various departments have civil strife first, it will be even more difficult to handle. ”

Bo Yu: "People's words are like the wind, and they are spread in all directions; To take down these four uncles is to rectify the chaos of the people's hearts and the loss of the people's customs, and to break the foundation of demons and evils. Fortunately, Shancha is here, and Mr. Ziqiu, you are also here, so after three days, I will have to work hard for you to help. ”

Three days later, Bo Yu wanted to convene the leaders of the various tribes to discuss again, and planned to deal with the four Bojun in public. It happened that Ziqiu came, so he came to interrogate him in public, and another country broke off the prison beast town. Everyone discussed for a long time, Bo Yu is also Ziqiu's uncle, and he explained a lot of things, and Ziqiu understood them one by one.

After discussing it here, Bo Yu asked Ao Guang and Shanzha again: "Two masters, I don't know how your injuries are?"

Ao Guang waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, don't delay the hand-to-hand fighting with people, and you can even enter the water to capture demons." ”

Shanzha asked rhetorically, "A little injury is not in the way, do you want to send us to capture those four princes?"

Bo Yu: "With this intention, according to what I noticed yesterday, I don't know what kind of cultivation those four Bojun are?"

Shanzha: "It's just an ordinary man, he doesn't have much cultivation, and he can catch it." ”

Bo Yu: "Do they have expert guards around them?"

Shanzha: "There are indeed guards, but they are not masters in my eyes, and they can even be unaware when they shoot." ”

At this time, Bo Yu got up again and hugged his fists in the air and said: "Mr. Wu Ming, can you make a hard trip to see if Xuanzhu is left in those four parts?" If you find that there are masters lurking around those four Bojun, it is difficult for Shanzha and Ao Guang to get their hands on it, so you don't need to help, just remind you by the way." ”

Wu Ming's voice came: "Don't worry, Lord Boyu, I'll go to those four parts to see if I can find Xuanzhu." If you see any masters lurking, or if those four uncles are difficult to be captured by the two Daoists, they will remind them. ”

Shanzha and Ao Guang took the order and left, and Boyu sent someone to call Yunqi and Boyi. Yunqi and Boyi have been on the side of the Tushan clan for the past few days, Yunqi is responsible for directing and teaching the people to build various instruments and tools to control the water, while Boyi is on behalf of Bo Yu to count the situation of each department, and is responsible for issuing orders and liaison, temporarily staying with the leaders of the various tribes who have been summoned.

Bo Yu asked Bo Yi to pass on the order, and in three days, the leaders of the tribes would be convened again, and this time, the elders of the tribes who could be called should be notified to arrive as soon as possible. In the words of later generations, this was an "enlarged meeting", at which it was necessary to agree on the matter of water control, and it was time to implement the plan and take formal action after the discussion was decided.

No matter what Bo Yu does, the Huaize Water Demon is there, not to mention how to clean up the Water Demon, if the people of all departments do nothing, it is absolutely impossible to succeed in controlling the water.

Bo Yu asked Yunqi to temporarily put down the matter at hand, rushed to make four magic cages, and put forward specific requirements. Yun Qi understood when he heard it, and nodded: "Is the Lord going to use it to imprison those four uncles?" Yunqi can complete it tomorrow, not to mention that it is strong and difficult to break, but it is impossible to directly break through the cage to save people in a hurry. ”

The clouds rose to build a cage, and then the sound of wind and rain was heard. The wind and rain did not come from Huaize, but in the distance in the other direction, and gradually dissipated in the near place, Ying Long descended from the sky and walked into the hall, and everyone got up and saluted. Ying Long once said to Bo Yu that if there is something to do, he can be summoned at any time, and Bo Yu summoned him today.

In terms of fighting against the enemy, Ying Long is a very experienced true immortal, and he participated in the battle of trapping and killing Chiyou back then. But at this moment, he couldn't see that he had the slightest cultivation power, and he had collected his aura very well, if it weren't for that, this place would have been stormy. Ying Long nodded to everyone and returned the salute, and then disappeared.

Ying Long didn't show up, so that he could restrain his breath better, and Bo Yu would call him to appear when necessary. And when Wu Ming comes back, these two true immortals can still reminisce about the past, and they were also old acquaintances.

......

Three days later, the meeting took place in a village not far from Tushan. The people who used to live in this village have been evacuated, so they put up mats in the square in the center of the village and everyone sits on the ground. In addition to more than 50 clan leaders, there are also nearly 300 clan elders from various villages here today, many of whom were specially sent by the Tushan tribe to pick them up from afar.

With so many people, they can only gather in the open air. On the south side of the square, a curtain was drawn, and a high seat was set up in front of the curtain, Bo Yu of course sat in the highest position in the middle, and his assistant Bo Yi sat on his side. In the middle of the open space in the square below Boyu, there is another long case, behind which sits Ziqiu from Pusaka City, and there is a single horned beast next to the case.

The Rui Beast Spirit Bird incarnated by heaven and earth often only exists in legends, and ordinary people will not know it at all, but this Rui Beast is an exception. The Chinese Prison Breaking Divine Beast in the Weizhen World, almost everyone has heard of its appearance, and at a glance they can recognize it as a pig beside Lord Gaotao.

The fair and strict priest Lord Gaotao is still in Pusaka City, but the Rui Beast Pig is here, and the student and assistant Ziqiu of Lord Gaotao is sitting behind the case. Looking at this posture, I am going to ask the case in public today, but I don't know who I want to interrogate?

Bo Yu sat on a high place without saying a word, his face was solemn, not angry and arrogant. In fact, Bo Yu has never paid attention to any official pomp and circumstance since he controlled the water, and has always walked barefoot. But after all, he is the minister of China's water control and the Situ Lord in the court, and on today's occasion, he must pay attention to etiquette and majesty, otherwise he will lose the awe of some people if he is simple and easy.

For the matter of asking about the case, there is no need for Bo Yu to come forward in person, and Ziqiu can be responsible. And when the original body of the Revealed Rui Beast stood there, there was no need to send guards to maintain order, and everyone present bowed down and saluted before taking their seats. The horn of the pig swept towards the field, and everyone inexplicably felt like they were being seen through from the inside out.

After scanning the audience, the pig closed his eyes and lay there, as if he was asleep, and everyone had doubts but did not dare to squeak, and the scene became very quiet. At this time, Bo Yi stood up and said: "Lord Bo Yu has been controlling the water for all the ministries in the world, and I learned that there are demons in Huaize who have no support for Qi, who call themselves Huai Shen, stir up wind and waves and harm the people of various departments, and have been suffering for six years.

There are even more Chinese princes who were canonized by the Son of Heaven, who did not obey the law of etiquette, did not abide by the covenant, and was willing to be driven by the demon to be his minions, and to harm his clansmen internally and plot against neighboring tribes externally, which was a scourge for China. Lord Boyu has taken down these Bojun today, handed them over to Lord Ziqiu, the messenger sent by the Son of Heaven, for public interrogation, and the Chinese Prison Breaking Divine Beast will check their condition. ”

As he spoke, the four uncles of the Shangzhang Department, the Hongmeng Department, the Douhu Department, and the Lilou Department were escorted up and knelt down in the middle of the clearing, all looking terrified. They were taken in their sleep three days ago inexplicably, and they didn't even react to what was going on at the time, and even the guards around them didn't notice the movement.

If they fell into the hands of Shanzha and Ao Guang, what good fate could they have? If it weren't for Bo Yu's special advice not to hurt people, it is estimated that they would have been half killed long ago. But Shanzha and Ao Guang were not polite, although they did not directly hurt people, but they intimidated them through various means, and these four uncles were so frightened that they almost didn't pee their pants, and they confessed everything they could explain.

It is one thing to be tried in private, but in order to formally deal with them, they must be judged in public, which is also the tradition of various Chinese ministries.

As soon as they saw this scene, everyone was a little confused, and they exchanged heads and ears, and the voices of discussion were everywhere. Last time, Lord Boyu convened the leaders of various tribes to discuss the matter, and dispersed in vain, and today he summoned everyone again, and even the elders of the villages and clans were invited, which should be to discuss and come to a conclusion. None of the leaders of the various departments were absent, but it was precisely these four who did not arrive, but they were arrested by Lord Boyu.

Bo Yi Fangcai's words did not go around in circles, but directly mentioned the name of Wuzhiqi, and defined the nature of his behavior - that is, the evil of evil. In fact, none of the people present had seen Wuzhiqi with their own eyes, and most of them had never even heard of this name, but they all knew about Huai Shen more or less.

The tribal villages living on the banks of the Huai River have sacrificed to the Huai God since ancient times, which is just a folk custom. However, after this great flood, the "Huai God" really appeared, and it is said that if you do not worship it respectfully, it will invite disaster. There are also rumors that only the four major tribes of Shangzhang, Hongmeng, Douhu, and Lilou are recognized by the Huai God and are qualified to worship on behalf of the people, while other tribes have no chance to "hook up" with the Huai God.

In fact, as rumored, the people of other tribes will always be attacked by wind and waves at the water's edge, not only suffering heavy losses but also killing many people, only Shangzhang, Hongmeng, Douhu, Lilou and Tushan are unharmed. Although the Tushan Department did not suffer losses, it also withdrew its people to the back side of Tushan, and was no longer close to the shore of Huaize on weekdays, and only the other four major departments were not adversely affected.

In this case, many small tribes began to attach themselves to the four major tribes such as Shangzhang and Hongmeng, and were even gradually annexed by them, and these four tribes also took the opportunity to occupy a large area of land on the shore of Huaize.

The rest of the other tribes can only try to stay away from the water's edge, they are both afraid and helpless about this situation, and their attitude towards the four major ministries such as Shangzhang is both envy and jealousy, but they can't say anything, who called these four major ministries lucky and favored by the Huai God?

As soon as Lord Boyi opened his mouth today, he shook the inside story in two sentences. It seems that Lord Boyu has found out the details of the so-called Huaishen, and he is not afraid of demons at all, so he wants to deal with this matter in public. Some of the people present did not react, and they all opened their mouths to ask each other and discuss, and they all said anything.

At this time, the pig suddenly opened his eyes, and a cold snort sounded in everyone's minds, and the scene instantly became quiet again. After the Rui Beast closed its eyes and lay down again, Ziqiu, who was sitting behind the case, asked, "Four Bojun, have you heard Lord Boyi's accusation clearly just now?"

These people spoke one after another: "Lord Boyu, Lord Boyi, Lord Ziqiu...... There is a reason for this, and we are forced to protect the ...... of the people."

Shanzha's voice shouted like thunder: "Shut up! Now it's Lord Ziqiu asking about the case, just asking if you heard Master Fang Cai Boyi's words clearly, and didn't ask you to explain why you did that." You just need to answer the questions of the adults, answer whatever you ask, and talk less nonsense, and you will eventually be given the opportunity to defend yourself. ”

The four princes had no choice but to reply, "I heard you clearly." ”

Ziqiu asked again: "You have changed the ancestral shrine of the tribe into a place to worship the Huai God, can you do this?"

The four uncles bowed their heads and said, "Yes." ”

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar around them, and then there were all kinds of shouts and scolding. Changing the place where ancestors are worshiped to the Huai god is simply a great rebellion! Although the four Bojun did this, they kept it a secret, and only a few high-level people involved in this matter within the tribe knew about it, and the ordinary people did not know about it.

It's no wonder that these four have been mysterious and mysterious when worshipping ancestors in recent years, and ordinary people are not qualified to enter the ancestral shrine, so they can only worship in the open space, and there are guards guarding the ancestral shrine on weekdays, so this is the case. These four major ministries are favored by the Huai God, and various ceremonies are held by the waterside to worship the Huai God on weekdays, which are all public, but the matter is a secret.

This time, the badger didn't open his eyes anymore, and let the surrounding shouting and scolding erupt, until in the end, Ziqiu raised his hand and signaled everyone to stop, and the scene was quiet again. Ziqiu pointed to the big tree next to the clearing, and the trunk was flattened, and it was engraved with the canons of "Five Teachings", "Five Punishments" and "Nine Virtues", and slowly spoke-

"At the beginning of our lives, we were naked and weak, and we had nothing. To set up an ancestral shrine to worship our ancestors is to thank our ancestors for their merits in giving birth, nourishment, and success, not only to give us the hair and skin of our bodies, but also to leave everything we enjoy today. Don't forget where you come from, don't forget what virtue teaches, don't forget how to establish the world, this is filial piety.

That water demon has no branches, stirs up wind and waves and harms all people, and forces the people of the world to worship in the flood, what merit do you have in all departments? Not to mention that the water demon is not worthy of being worshiped as a sacrifice to the Huai God, and you even change the ancestral shrine to worship the demon and evil! Bojun should have six virtues, may I ask what virtue you live in? You are not worthy to be a Bojun, a nobleman, or a son of man!"

The four Bojun knelt there and bowed their heads speechlessly, and Ziqiu asked again: "You not only lead the people to sacrifice to the Huai God, but since last year, there is also a secret sacrifice ceremony, and every month a pair of vigorous and healthy boys and girls are selected to sacrifice to the Huai God." The four tribes take turns to sacrifice secretly, and so far twenty-four people have been killed, but is there such a thing?"

When the four uncles heard this, they all fell to the ground and said in a trembling voice: "My lord, spare my life......!"

They did not directly answer yes or no. The pig suddenly opened his eyes and stood up, and said, "Yes!"

This scene can be blown up, many people jumped up, pointed at the four uncles and scolded sharply, if you don't pay attention to the behavior, it is estimated that the big and small stones have been smashed over. The custom of living sacrifices has existed since ancient times, and even today it is still preserved among remote tribes, and before the start of war, it was still common to kill captured prisoners of war to sacrifice their flags.

However, since the time of Emperor Zhuan, the Chinese Son of Heaven has already ordered all ministries to prohibit the use of human sacrifices in rituals. Moreover, these four princes did not set up sacrifices in public, but secretly set up ceremonies in private, and secretly sacrificed alive with their own tribesmen, which is a big taboo!

Over the years, many people have been displaced by the floods, and many people have been killed or injured due to various reasons, including 24 children. But such a thing can never be said, and if it is publicly singled out, no one can tolerate it.

Ziqiu asked about the case, there was almost no nonsense, and he only asked two things, and asked the four uncles to answer yes or no. After these two questions are clear, no matter how the four uncles defend, the crime has been confirmed, and the rest is how to deal with it. Ziqiu stood up and turned around and saluted: "Lord Boyu, what should I do with these four guilty uncles?"

Bo Yu said coldly: "And put it in the cage!" (To be continued.) )
