Chapter X

Xiong Maozhen, an old minister of the Three Dynasties of the Later Shu Kingdom. When he was young, he followed Taizu to pacify Hanzhong, and the ancestors occupied Hanzhong and called the king of Hanzhong, and then opened up by two generations of kings to have the stability of today's Shu Kingdom. Xiong Maozhen has made a lot of meritorious achievements, and has the reputation of 'the light in Shu'.

"Respect, when the former king and his teacher were attacked in the battle, the army was scattered, and even the former king was nowhere to be found. You must know that the first prince's expedition was inspiring, and the disappearance of the first king at this time was a heavy blow to the originally low Shu army, just when everyone was confused, the teacher took a team of people and horses to blow the dust away, and returned to the army with the first king in less than half a day. Fan Shijin said while reminiscing.

"I didn't expect my father to be so familiar with Shudi, and even had a hand in finding people and exploring the way, and I vaguely remember that the temple fair was lost when I was a child, and I was also found by my father. The bear messenger said with a smile on his face.

"Reverence! Once or twice is fine, but four or five times is not accidental. This must be the teacher's ability to 'hallucinate'. If it weren't for the teacher's ability to guide, how could I have avoided the enemy army and found the first king, and then returned unscathed? And my Shu people all call the teacher 'the bright light in Shu', like a bright lamp to guide my path to Dashu! Do you recall, what is the difference between seeing the teacher when you were lost as a child?" Fan Envoy looked at Xiong Jingyi and said.

"This ...... After this incident, I did admire my father a little more, and I always felt that my father's appearance was like a man descending from heaven and earth, and his eyes were full of golden light. Xiong Jingchong looked at the ground and then at the top of his head, as if he remembered something.

"That's right, the characteristic of the illusion should be golden pupils!" Wen Renxing didn't forget to add after listening.

"There are so many strange things in this world! There are both divine consciousness and illusion, according to this reason, my father's red eyes cannot be attributed to these two. Liu Cong thought about it and said.

"Brother Cong, what you said is very true! After going back this time, I want to ask Brother Liu Kaiwu for advice!" Wen Renxing's eyes will shine when he mentions swordsmanship and martial arts.

"It's the first time I've seen a death row inmate talk so freely and happily. The man with a leopard skin around his waist came in and said. There is also a bowl of chicken soup in his hand, the delicious fragrance floats for ten miles, and in the eyes of everyone, this big man does not seem to be a strong man, but a walking roast chicken, the skin of the roast chicken is roasted golden, and the surface of the chicken is like a shiny dripping with sesame oil.

The group swallowed saliva and stared at Dahan, Dahan took every step and everyone moved their eyes, and finally Dahan was really unbearable, put the chicken soup next to Baixiyue and crawled out, and now the roasted chicken also flew.

"Hurry up and make food for these people, I see that they are already hungry and delirious. The big man ran out and said to the gatekeeper.

Bai Xiyue seemed to smell the aroma of the food, got up and began to drink the soup by himself, and heard the sound of water dropping in the middle of the drink.

"Is there any leakage here?" asked Bai Xiyue. When I turned around, I was almost so frightened that I threw the soup spoon out, only to see the four of them looking directly at him, with saliva on the corners of their mouths, and dripping on the ground. Bai Xiyue hurriedly got up and fed the soup to a few people with a spoon, from left to right, from right to left, a pot of chicken soup quickly bottomed out, and everyone gradually regained consciousness at this time.

Just as everyone was still immersed in the sweetness of the chicken soup and licking the corners of their mouths, several burly men walked in and untied them. The leader of the big man still had bird feathers stuck on his head, and the leading man looked at these people and said, "We are waiting for the order of the Meridian Grain God to send you to be baptized, if you are playing a small trick, don't blame our men for being ruthless." After speaking, the big man covered the eyes of several people with a black cloth, and then was pushed forward by the big man.

The sound of the water, the sound of the water washing over the stones from the heights, the low chirping of the birds, echoing through the mountains, the whistling of the wind, blowing on the faces of people, mixed with the smell of green leaves and earth, mixed with moist moisture.

Liu Congyi and the others were removed from the black cloth on their eyes, and they hadn't seen sunlight for a long time, and their eyes couldn't be opened. After getting used to it a little, I can see what is in front of me, it is a valley surrounded by mountains, a waterfall in the middle of the mountains hangs in the middle of the mountains, constantly washing the mud and rocks on the ground, there are green trees in the valley, there are wild flowers and grasses... There is also a group of fierce men with bare upper bodies and paint on their faces dancing on both sides of the fountain, dancing and roaring at the same time. Liu Cong, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what will happen next.

There are large green leaves on the rocks of the valley, and there are wild fruits, roasted meat, and wine, and there are green leaves every half a meter, and women with white leopard skins around their waists are arranging food and green leaves. In the middle is a boulder, and when I looked at the stone, there was a person with a wooden color totem on it, and the man slowly stood up, pointing to Liu Cong and his party, and there were words in his mouth. Suddenly, I heard the sound of the drums, the drum sound was full of rhythm, knock-knock—— knock!! knock-knock-knock—— knock-knock!!knock-knock-knock!

"Welcome the Meridian Valley God to the world!Bless my people and enjoy peace!" the group began to babble along.

"The pre-sacrifice dinner has officially begun!" shouted the high priest on the boulder.

After Liu saw that the high priest had finished speaking, he asked the group to sit down, and the group had not yet figured out their minds, so they had to sit cross-legged on the ground, and there was a big green leaf in front of each person, and food was placed on the green leaf. Liu Congzheng wanted to grab a chicken leg, but was knocked off by the big man next to him, the big man looked at Liu Cong and said, "You haven't received the grace of God yet, so you can't touch and eat!"

I saw the women holding a pot of water in their hands, and pouring them on people's heads one by one, as if watering flowers and plants.

"Ah, Daigo empowerment! It's so painful..."Before Bai Xiyue could finish sighing, the big man slapped Bai Xiyue in the face and said, "Don't say much when you receive grace." ”

When the ceremony was over, no one touched the food in front of them, and they just closed their eyes. At this time, the high priest was also sitting on the boulder with his eyes closed, only to see the high priest's closed eyes, the eyes seemed to be burning, black smoke came out under the eyelids, and after a while, the valley surrounded by the mountains was like a thousand purple and red flowers blooming, it was not the competition of flowers, but the light of the flowers flashed in the valley, like countless colorful fireflies flying around the valley, the beautiful scenery seemed to be a miracle reappearing, like a fairyland coming again.

I only heard the people in the valley chanting: "The meridian valley god has shown his powers!" A group of people had tears in their eyes, and even the big men wept bitterly and thanked God for his gifts.

"The feast begins!" cried out the High Priest.

Liu Cong and the others seemed to have been waiting for this sentence for too long, and after finishing speaking, they were like crazy, grabbing the green leaves to eat and stuffing them into their mouths, and when they choked, they picked up the wine and poured it down, and after a while, they finished eating, Liu Cong even ate half of the leaves, just when everyone was ready to order it after eating. * The dancing man came over and shouted, "I announce that these five are the winners of the eating champions of this dinner!"

Liu Cong, Bai Xiyue, Wen Renxing, Xiong Jingchong, and Fan Shijin stared at Dahan and were dumbfounded. In an instant, thunderous applause rang out in the valley, and the applause was incessant. The five were invited to the boulder to deliver their acceptance speeches, and Fan Shijin, the eldest in the team, swallowed the rice in his mouth and said: "In the next literati, this gaffe, I dare not be ashamed, I dare not be ashamed, if there is a reward...... I hope to have another copy in the next one. Without waiting for Fan Envoy to finish speaking, a few people behind him squeezed forward and said that they also wanted a copy. There was thunderous applause in the valley again, I didn't expect these living sacrifices to be so brave, they were about to be sacrificed, and they were also in a hurry to marry the eldest daughter of the patriarch who was more than a few hundred catties.

As soon as the applause was over, I heard the ground in the valley begin to shake one after another, like an earthquake but not as high as an earthquake, and if you look closely, it turns out that the daughter of the patriarch ran over.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this trip is not from my clan, it is Ming'er's sacrifice to the Meridian Valley God, and this time it should not be counted. The patriarch with a tiger skin around his waist stood up and said.

"Dad, now that my daughter has grown up, how can I let my father worry about this. The eldest daughter said shyly.

"Count me as sensible! I won't count you this time!" said the patriarch with a smile on his face.

"Dad, children only make choices, and I want all my daughters!" The eldest daughter stretched out her palm and immediately squeezed a fist, and her huge mouth stretched out her huge tongue to lick her lips. After the eldest daughter finished speaking, there was a roaring applause in the valley, like the waves of the sea rising higher than one another.

Bai Xiyue was so frightened that he sat on the ground, and hurriedly crawled behind Fan Xiong and the others, and Fan Xiong and the others also took a few steps back.

"This should be a sacrificial dinner, how can it be a blind date? Don't you deceive me that the foreigners don't understand the rules, and trick us into being substitutes for the dead?" said the bear envoy righteously.

"The sacrifice in the previous period is a sacrifice, and this dinner food competition has been a blind date competition since ancient times, and you have to wait for Hugh!" said a group of big men during the banquet.

"Hmph! I hate it to death! Bullying a weak woman, isn't it a hot potato!" The eldest daughter said with a very unhappy face after hearing this, and after speaking, she looked at the five people, her face flushed, and she lowered her head and kicked her legs, and shoveled off a piece of mud and stone with one kick.

"Run, the monster is coming!" Liu blurted out after watching this scene.

Several big men in the audience got up and wanted to run, so the women on the side pressed down.

"Shut up, High Priest, what should be done?" the patriarch spread his hands and looked at the High Priest.

"Since there is no objection from the audience, I will wait for the minority to obey the majority, and then the second daughter of the patriarch, I will wait for the next one. The high priest looked at the crowd and said calmly.

"This eldest daughter is so tonnage, I'm afraid that this second daughter is too much. Liu Cong and the others discussed in a whisper there.

I saw the second daughter walk out of the bushes, like the black hair splashed with ink, there is a place on the forehead like a half-moon fan bangs, the clear eyes are as if they have been washed under the waterfall, the petal-like mouth is open, from a distance it is the peach forest flowers in full bloom, and the second daughter is smiling closely, the smile is like a spring breeze, and the smile is like a bird with the sound of flowers.

"The ace disciples of Kongyangmen apply to participate! In order to promote national unity and integration! I, Baixiyue of Kongyangmen, am willing to strive to be the leader of the new historical chapter!" Bai Xiyue raised his fist and shouted.

"How can foreign sacrifices participate in this meeting of our clan? The group of people below said in a boiling voice.

"Yes, how can this group of people be like this?" A group of people exchanged heads and ears, all of them despised the words and deeds of foreigners and others.

"Quiet, let's try again, the first place will marry the eldest daughter, and the second place will marry the second daughter. "The High Priest was very wise in defining this contest.

"Then let the foreigners in. ”

"Yes, foreigners are also people, and we should be fair and just so as not to be looked down upon by foreigners. The audience relapsed into heated discussions.

"Okay! Let the foreigners participate! The foreigners are regrouped into the feast. The patriarch seemed to have compromised and invited the foreigners back to the banquet again.
