CH.047 Life and Death Go Together
"This priest said everything in the city of the sun, and he was all protected here for nothing. When Zhu Pi first arrived, he was also shocked by many parties. The priest's first cup of tea was filled with an unknown herb that could make people feel sluggish, confused, and panicked. Zhu Pi didn't know why, so he didn't take precautions. I thought that the local people were simple and amiable, and drank it all. Suddenly dizzy, hallucinations appeared in front of his eyes, and he fell straight off the stool, and then rushed out of the Metropolitan Mansion with a louder shout. The subordinates can't stop him, and most of these subordinates of the Protectorate are also believers of the priests, where will there be someone who treats him sincerely. Everyone watched with the mood of watching the joke and laughed. Zhu Pi has been hit by this blow, and he has not been out for a month, and whenever he sees someone, he always feels that others provoke him, harm him, and laugh at him. The change is that in one night, Zhu Pi's daily tea, snacks, and food are all taken care of by the natives here, and he is afraid that he will be plotted again, so he secretly goes out to buy some food, or finds a deserted forest to bake something to eat at night. Yashan paused.
moistened his throat: "That night, Zhu Pi lay on the grass and counted the stars, he fell asleep unconsciously, the forest was wet and dewy, and Zhu Pi did not have anything on his body. When I woke up, the sky was clear. The people of the Metropolitan Protectorate did not come to him, he stood up, suddenly felt a pain in his feet, and looked down to see that a spotted snake had bitten him on his foot and neck. He hurriedly squatted down, squeezed the wound hard, took off the rope around his waist and tied it tightly above the wound. The blood that had been squeezed out had turned black, and it was a poisonous snake. ”
Then a woman came across the meadow, with a hat on her head, a petticoat, a basket at her waist, and a sickle in her hand. Zhu Pi hurriedly shouted for help, and as soon as he finished shouting, he fell to the ground, and he didn't know who was going to do it. ”
When he woke up again, Zhu Pi was already lying on the bed, and the woman was applying herbs to his legs. When he opened his eyes, the woman said, 'Don't worry, I've already sucked out the snake venom for you, and you can go when the herbs are ready.' You don't think you're from here, why do you sleep on the ground at night, there are many forests and grasses, and there are many snakes. ’”
Juppi thanked him and asked for the girl's name. The girl's name is Turg, and there is only one father in the family. Zhu Pi also said his name, and invited the girl to go to the capital to play. Unexpectedly, when Turg heard this, he immediately pushed Zhu Pi out, and said that Zhu Pi was not saved by himself, and repeatedly told him to leave immediately. Zhu Pi was very puzzled, and when he knocked on the door again, the girl ignored it, and Zhu Pi had to go home sullenly. After thinking about it, he still took a piece of jade pendant from his body and stuffed it into the crack of the door. ”
"Jupi felt as if he had died once, and there was nothing to be afraid of. He decided to challenge the priests. ”
"Brave is brave, is it alone?" said Qu Drunk.
"As long as you think about it, everything else is an excuse. ”
"Jupi knows that the capital is full of priests. One day, he said aloud to his master that he was going to visit the priest and learn from him about the folk customs of the place. It is equivalent to telling the world that the priest I went to find was the reason why he was a bad priest. The priest was also vain and wronged, and did not say much about the state of the city of the sun. Zhu Pi wanders around every day, goes to the market, goes to the rainforest, and has time to hang out with other people. Soon after, three people came from afar, one was the carpenter Wu Zhen, the other was the swordsman Chen Qiang, and the other was the white-faced scholar Gao Kezhi. But he didn't go to the capital house, but stayed in an inn. Carpenters are not only good at repairing tables and chairs, but also proficient in building houses, swordsmen walk the rivers and lakes and are familiar with tricks, and scholars tell stories in a restaurant with a full house of guests. In just two months, the three of them learned about the situation in the city of the day. They are all familiar with the people of this city of the day, and there are many priests. On this day, the priest's birthday, the carpenter made a moving doll and took out the limelight, the swordsman staged a knife show, the scholar made a poem to congratulate his birthday, and the joy was also good, and Zhu Pi was also present, drinking in small sips. The priest was so pleased that he drank too much, and fell asleep on the table. At this time, the scholar jumped out and said that the swordsman wanted to perform magic skills for everyone, including the fire bridge and the sword swallowing technique. The people were also curious, and at the instigation of the scholars, they touched the fire, which was cold and not hot. Touch the tip of the sword, there is a sword in the sword, it is retractable. Everyone laughed, that is, it was a lively picture. ”
"In the days that followed, the city of Japan, where it rarely rains, suddenly poured down, and it rained for several days and nights. Many mud-walled and mud-walled houses can not withstand the rain washing, collapse and wash away a lot, and many animals in the rainforest in order to survive, have run to the houses where people live, snakes and insects often bite people, and sometimes, suddenly wake up, will see a pair of wolf eyes looking at themselves. It was a mess for a few days. There were many wounded, and they asked the priests to pray to the gods. The priest said that someone had blasphemed the gods on his birthday last time, so the heavens would send this calamity. Only human sacrifice is allowed. ”
Juppi tried to stop it, but the crowd was furious. ”
"It also happened that after a girl's blood was put on the altar, the rain really stopped. It's stupid. Zhu Pi was also helpless. The reconstruction after the rain was even more difficult, and the priest considered himself to be the hero of the rain stop, where could he still take care of the real life of the inhabitants. Zhu Pi took the carpenters from house to house, teaching them to learn how to build houses and learn to make tables and chairs. Let the scholars teach the people to distinguish rice and wheat and learn to plant. He taught children and young people how to write, and set up a private school in the name of the government. Let the swordsman teach art for free, popularize the tricks of the rivers and lakes, so that everyone can also see through some tricks. By the time the priest came back to his senses, the image of Vermilion had already blossomed everywhere and was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. And Turge also made a heartfelt promise to Zhu Pi, the two of them are willing, you and I are willing, you and I are nong, so it doesn't take the moon. Time flies for more than half a year. It is said that the days are repeated, the four seasons alternate cycles, this day the city ushered in the rainy season again, heavy rain, fortunately most people have lived in the new house, not many people are injured. But the grain, livestock, and poultry were destroyed, and the priest, who had been dormant for a long time, jumped out again, saying that the only way to save peace was to sacrifice again. Although Jupi already had a reputation, the people still chose the priesthood at this time. The priest called for Turg to offer sacrifices. Jupi strongly objected, and the priest kindly said that as long as Jupi found a replacement, it was fine, but that person had to take the initiative to give, and it had to be a woman. Juppi knew that the priest was trying to trouble him, but he agreed. The next morning, it was just dawning, and there was still a light wind and drizzle in the sky. A woman in a red dress, veil, and hat, braving the drizzle, stood on the altar, and the priest took out his short knife and slashed twice on the woman's hand, and the blood flowed all over the two bowls, and the woman did not say a word. The priest spilled blood, and the dagger slammed into the woman's heart. The priest unveiled the woman and prepared to cut off her head. But he stumbled, this person was none other than Zhu Pi. Turg was like crazy at that time, he pounced, grabbed the dagger on Zhu Pi's body, put the jade pendant given by Zhu Pi, and stabbed the dagger on his body, and the two died together. ”
