After hearing the reason, Huwa also shook his head secretly, he had a rough idea of what the ceremony was about. The patriarch of Rushing Village, Rushing Gang, had also participated in a similar ceremony, but he was not in the position of Hua Cub or Xiao Xiang.

The children who participated in the ceremony with the Rushing Bar were all sick after they came back, and even if someone was cured, they died one after another due to various reasons, and only the Rushing Bar was the ultimate lucky one. But those children didn't die on the spot, if they met a "miracle doctor" like Huwa and treated them in time, they could actually turn danger into relief, and even get a blessing in disguise.

But Hua cub and Xiaoxiang are in a different situation, either succeed or die on the spot. Hua Cub succeeded, but listening to his relay, the tiger baby knew that Xiaoxiang would not succeed.

The little demon was dumbfounded when he heard this, and asked weakly: "You want to save Xiao Xiang, but if you replace Xiao Xiang with someone else, isn't it the same possible to die in the ceremony?"

Hua Cub sighed again and said, "I don't know about other people's situations, but I know that Xiaoxiang won't survive as long as she goes, so how can I not want to stop it." I even thought about quietly tricking Xiaoxiang out before the ceremony and hiding her, so that no one could find her, and the ceremony had to be temporarily replaced.

But if this kind of thing really happens, others will definitely think that Xiao Xiang is a person who is rejected by the Gu God, and she is afraid that she will not be able to raise her head for the rest of her life. It would be great if you could find another way to help her!"

Jim: "Can't you think of a way not to engage in this kind of ritual?" As soon as the words came out, Jigu also knew that he had said something wrong, so he lowered his head and said no more.

This kind of ritual that has been handed down since ancient times, almost a living sacrifice, is very cruel, but it cannot be completely changed by a few outsiders such as Huwa, and the most critical problem is that the tribesmen themselves are willing to make such a choice. And in the land of China, because of the new decree of Emperor Zhuan to rectify the sacrifice, this kind of thing has been banned.

That's why most of Fei Li and Gu Li will run into the deep mountains and forests that the Chinese Emperor can't control. Such a custom is ingrained in the beliefs of the tribesmen, and if they are forcibly stopped, they are simply the enemy of the entire tribe.

Huwa muttered, "If you have a way to let me participate in that ceremony and let them all be present to watch, you may be able to save Xiaoxiang's life." ”

Hua cub: "You really have such a great ability?"

Hou Gang glanced at Taiyi and replied, "Maybe." As long as we are there, we do our best. After hearing all this from you, we probably have a guess of what the ceremony is all about, but we need to observe it on the spot before we can deal with it. ”

......

When Hua Cub and Huwa and others spent the night in the wild, in the south-east direction, more than 200 miles away from here, separated by the stretching mountain peaks, in the most beautiful and spacious bamboo building in most of the villages of Jili. Emperor Danzhu has not yet rested. Two candles made of grease were lit on the desk, and he was looking through a stack of maps drawn on animal skins.

These maps depict the surrounding mountains and rivers, the locations of the villages of the Jiuli tribes, the various totemic symbols, and the roads between them. If Hua Cub is also here, you will find that the map also marks the grass village where he lives, but it does not mark the river valley road he walked with Huwa and others, let alone Thor.

These maps. Some were brought by Danzhu from the imperial capital Pingyang City, and some were presented by the leaders of the Jiuli tribes he inspected. The maps preserved by the tribes of Jiuli are very valuable. It will never be taken out easily, but with Danzhu's identity, the venerable opened his mouth to ask for it, and promised all kinds of benefits, and the leaders of the Jiuli tribes could not refuse.

There is a big man standing on the side of the desk, more than a foot tall, with a cold and resolute breath, like a sculpture. But at a glance, there seems to be a surging and amazing power hidden in the figure, as if it will explode at any time. If the tiger baby is here, he will also feel that this person's cultivation is unfathomable, and he can't see through it.

Danju flipped through the maps. Putting down the things in his hand, he said: "I looked at the picture scroll presented by the Great Wu Gong of the Qili and Muli Departments, and then compared the map brought from Pingyang City. The map they gave was not fake, the criteria that had been made were correct, and there were many villages that we didn't know before.

But this map is not complete, nor is it an ancient scroll, but it is deliberately copied, and it hides a lot of things, especially the road. Many of the things we have secretly learned are not marked in the scrolls they have presented. ”

The big man said lightly: "Of course they won't give you a fake map, as long as it is marked, it is very good to go to the field to verify." Since the Jiuli tribes nominally submitted to the Son of China, they asked for the atlas of the Jiuli tribes in your capacity, so naturally they did not dare not provide it. But they must also have reservations, and it is impossible for them to trust you completely. ”

Danzhu: "In that case, can we trust these Jiuli tribes?"

Dahan: "If there is no cooperation, and there is no contact, what kind of trust can we talk about? Hundreds of years of grudges are in the past, and suspicions cannot be dispelled out out of thin air, and it is useless to rely only on promises." Although you and I are the same as you and me, you must do your promises, but whether you can do many things is another matter, and they will doubt your ability.

Now that they are asking you for help, then give them help, in fact, they are not afraid that the Jiuli tribe will use you, they are afraid that they will not ask for you, even if they cooperate, no one can let the other party contribute in vain.

It is impossible for the Ben Li Department and the Chongchen Clan to support you, and the Gonggong has a vendetta with Chong and Li, and when he passed through the Gonggong Department on the way to the inspection, Dijiang had made it clear that he supported you. Dijiang also has ambitions, but no matter what kind of ambitions, it is good to cooperate at present.

As for the rest of the Jiuli tribes, the Huali, Wuli, and Shuili tribes are scattered in the southeast, and they have little contact with each other, and they are gradually dividing and dissipating, and they cannot affect the affairs of China. Whether these people will come from a subject country or be crowned as an uncle, the next Son of Heaven can recruit them, and it will be the same for everyone.

However, the five major parts of this area, such as Muli, Jili, Shanli, Feili, and Guli, seem to be scattered in the mountains, but they are faintly condensed and closely related to each other, and they are the largest force in the south, and there seems to be an unknown master behind the scenes. Since they can't form an alliance with Chong and Lai, then try to get them to ally with you. ”

Dan Zhu sighed and said, "Uncle Yi, do I have to fight with Uncle Zheng? If I can think about all the people in the world, isn't it the same for everyone to be the Son of Heaven?"

Danzhu called this big man Yibo, which was a very close title in private, but in fact, this big man was his brother-in-law. This person's name is Yi, and he is also respected as Dayi in the land of China, and he should be called Lord Boyi on formal occasions. He is also a leader of Di Yao's subordinate clans. He married Heng'e, the daughter of Emperor Jun of the Gaoxin clan, and was a famous general who is still invincible.

Bo Yi shook his head and said: "You are already in this position, it's not that you can fight if you want to." Most of the Gao Xin clans want to nominate you as the next Chinese emperor, and this is no longer your business. In life, sometimes many things are involuntary. What's more, as the emperor and the angel patrolling Jiuli, you already have a duty at this moment.

The five major tribes of Jiuli are dormant in the south of the great river, and they have been closely connected with each other for 200 years. Regardless of whether you are the Son of Heaven of China in the future, you are now an angel of China and a great solution to this great problem for all peoples. Isn't that your responsibility?

No matter who is the Son of Heaven, you must think about all the people of the world, so why don't you think about the people of the world now? If you want to subdue the people of Jiuli and return to your heart, you must first of all think about the people of all the tribes of Jiuli, not only give them what they want, but also spread the Chinese education and carry out the decree of the Son of Heaven.

Liwenzhi martial arts. All the tribes of the world looked forward to it, and they named him the Son of Heaven. This is the attitude of many tribes today. Even if you can't get them to support you directly, at least let them not oppose you, and if you can, you can form an alliance, and if you are not an ally, you must convince them. In this way, after you become the Son of Heaven, you will be able to smoothly implement the decree in the world.

Besides, if you are a monk, don't you want to be in charge of the human imperial seal? Even if you are not in the great position of the Son of Heaven in the world. I also want to transcend heaven and earth and open up a leisurely road to the fairy world. The people who held the imperial seal of the past generations did not all ascend to the immortals, but those who opened up the immortal realm as the emperor of heaven have all held the imperial seal of the people.

At that time, Lord Cangjie of the Shi Huang clan had no intention of taking the throne of the Son of Heaven, but he also held the human emperor seal for several months. Whether he opened up the immortal realm as the emperor of heaven. It is unknown now, but it has indeed soared to the sky and achieved far more than other immortals. Perhaps the ultimate achievement in the world is the beginning of the achievement of the fairy world, I would love to see the day when you take charge of the human emperor's seal, maybe I can follow you to confirm. ”

Dan Zhu hesitated: "Don't you know the legend of the 'Jedi Heavenly Pass'? Those who hold the imperial seal in the future generations will no longer be allowed to ascend to the heavens, let alone open up the immortal realm as the emperor of heaven." If this road is cut off, the resulting disputes will be eliminated. ”

Bo Yi: "No one knows better than you and me what the myth of the Jedi Tiantong is. It was just a new policy to rectify the sacrifice, and the living emperor was not allowed to call himself a god from now on, which had nothing to do with the human emperor seal. ”

Danzhu: "But after the Gaoyang Heavenly Emperor, my ancestor Emperor Jun did not become the Heavenly Emperor, and my father, Emperor Yao, held the human imperial seal for many years, but he did not ascend to immortality. This legend may be true, but not necessarily as people say, but for another reason. ”

Bo Yi: "Those who have held the human emperor seal in the past may not be able to ascend to immortals, let alone become emperors, this is normal, but the cultivation has not been successful and has not been wonderful. As for whether the legend is true or not, it is always necessary to find out why. ”

Danzhu: "Hearing you say that, I'm a little tempted. ...... Let's think about the things in front of me first, I don't know what the Jiuli tribes have been trying to do in the past two hundred years, and I still don't know the essentials. ”

Bo Yi: "If you really don't know, then don't force it, just do your own thing." If someone really hides in the shadows and plots a great rebellion, the divine bow in my hand will not let him go, and it can be regarded as eliminating hidden dangers, and it is also a great contribution to the country. ”

Danzhu: "I have told the Great Witch Gong of the Muli, Qili, and Shanli Divisions, and asked the Shanli Divisions to tell the Feili and Guli Divisions that as long as they do not stop the implementation of indoctrination and no longer practice witchcraft, they do not have to bear the identity of criminals. I can send people from the Ministry of Communism to help in everything such as opening roads, building cities, cultivating fields, and building water works.

His people are willing to worship their ancestors and worship witch gods, and they are all willing. However, it is not allowed to start witch fights again, it is not allowed to force other tribes to worship witch gods, it is not allowed to attack tribes that do not believe in witch gods, and no one can use the name of witch gods to oppose the etiquette and laws of the country. ”

Bo Yi nodded and said: "There is nothing wrong with such a treatment, the previous Chinese emperors have actually had this attitude." It's just that Jiuli is remote and superficially surrendered, and many things can only be turned open and closed. This is beneficial to the people of the Jiuli tribe, but it is detrimental to the great witches of the various ministries, so you might as well promise enough benefits to make up for it, so that these great witches themselves nod.

Now Ji Li and Mu Li have expressed their acceptance, Shan Li's attitude is unknown, and Fei Li and Gu Li have unknown news.

The Jiuli tribes are not absolutely one, otherwise there would not be an alliance between the Benli tribe and the Chongchen clan back then. The most important thing for you is to complete the alliance, and this southern tour will be a big thing. Your promise to the Jiuli Ministries can only be ensured after you become the Son of Heaven of China, and they must support you for their own sake. ”

At this time, there was a report from the guards outside the door, and Lord Chonghua asked to see him, and Danzhu hurriedly ordered him to come in. This Lord Chonghua is about thirty years old, although his body is not as tall and strong as Boyi, but he is also very burly, he wears very simple clothes, his face is handsome and delicate, his eyes are bright, and his demeanor is also very humble and polite.
