Back to Daqin to be Emperor

Chapter 234 Human sacrifice
After the rest, Fusu and his party embarked on the journey again.

Looking at the criss-crossing rivers and lakes of all sizes, Fusu felt quite moved.

In fact, Yunmengze is divided into two parts, the north and the south, with the Yangtze River as the boundary. The north is mostly a swamp area, and the south is Dongting Lake, which has an endless water surface. Dongting Lake was called Yunmeng in ancient times.

"Yingbu, this Yunmengze was the hunting ground of the King of Chu in the past?" Fusu asked sideways.

Ying Bo said: "Young Master is right. Because there are many lakes in Yunmeng Lake, many rare birds and animals are hidden in it. Therefore, the king of Chu used it to hunt and hunt it as his recreational place."

"It's just that, now that Chu State has been wiped out, Nanjun has been the territory of Daqin for almost 70 years."

Fusu nodded. Indeed, the warring states era, accompanied by Qin's unification of the world, has finally come to an end.

But those princes and nobles in the past were beaten to the ground one after another, lost their noble identity and status, and drifted to the common people.

The Warring States Period is a world of great contention, where strength should be the first priority in everything, and in the end, the winner of this war is the State of Qin.

Fusu knew that Qin's victory was not complete. To be precise, all the seven heroes of the Warring States Period were defeated!

Qin Shun followed the general trend of the world, wiped out the six countries, and swallowed the world, but because of the current situation, he was defeated in the end.

"Hou Feihou, Wang Feiwang, the past will all disappear!"

Speaking of which, it has been a long time since Yunmengze has had any major mobilization of soldiers and horses, and it has been a long time since the king of Chu led thousands of horses to hunt. Therefore, Yunmengze has not been disturbed these years, and there are many prey in it.

Fusu stepped into the village. Along the way, Fusu didn't make much fanfare. Instead, he put away the sticks and knots bestowed by Yingzheng, and only used them when needed.

More often, Fusu prefers to use his own eyes and ears to carefully examine this era and experience the customs and customs of every place he has traveled.

Seeing that there was no one in the village, Fusu felt puzzled. Normally speaking, it shouldn't be like this, and there should be some people even on the village road.

Suddenly, everyone heard a sound, and followed the source of the sound, it was a manor house with a locked door.

Everyone slowly put their hands on the sharp sword at their waist, carefully guarding everything around them.

Fusu frowned, and said: "Break open the gate of the courtyard."

All kinds of unusual things in the village aroused Fusu's interest, and he was not in a hurry, but Fusu was interested in understanding all of them.

The courtyard door was knocked down three times and was broken open by the soldiers around Fusu. When Fusu stepped into the house, he saw a young man was tightly bound and his mouth was gagged with a piece of cloth.

Seeing the person coming, the young man's eyes flashed with urgency, Fu Su saw the expression on the young man's face, and said: "Let him go."

Gao Chong immediately stepped forward, untied the rope on the young man, and removed the cloth covering the young man's mouth.

As soon as the rope was loosened, the young man knocked away the crowd and ran outside like crazy.

Yingbu and Gao Chong's eyes were full of displeasure. He had just rescued this young man, but he didn't expect to run away without even saying a word of thanks.

Fusu felt that there should be some reasons for this, and said decisively: "Follow him."

Immediately, everyone started running behind the young man. Fortunately, those who followed Fusu were all soldiers who had been in the army for a long time. Difficult.

After a while, Fusu and the others followed the young people to the lakeside. There were many villagers by the lakeside. It seemed that some sacrificial ceremony was being held.

Fusu stopped the crowd. Generally speaking, when a sacrificial ceremony is held, someone is most afraid of being interrupted in the middle, especially outsiders like them. Once they really violate some taboo, they will really provoke public anger.

Therefore, when the current situation is still unclear, Fusu decided to take a look first.

The young man rushed into the crowd and jumped onto the altar in a few steps, causing everyone to be shocked.

In front of the crowd, a rather old man was leaning on crutches, his eyes were full of urgency, he pointed at the young man and said: "Shuisheng, come down quickly, you have alarmed Lord Dragon, are you guilty? "

There was a look of resentment in the young man's eyes, and he roared: "Dragon King, what kind of god is he?"

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and kicked the statue behind him down.

Seeing this scene, everyone's eyes flashed with horror, and the old man even knelt down and kowtowed: "Dragon King calm down, Dragon King calm down."

Looking at Shuisheng, the old man's eyes were full of anger: "Drag him down and tie him up."

Immediately, seven or eight middle-aged people rushed forward and captured the young man.The young people still shouted: "What kind of dragon king is he? If he uses human sacrifices, he is a monster that eats people. How can there be such a god in the world?"

"..."

Although Fusu was standing behind the crowd, he could hear the young people's words clearly.

Fusu looked forward, indeed, by the lake, on a bamboo raft, a girl was dressed up very beautifully, her clothes were quite bright, and on the altar, there were three animals for offering.

Seeing these, combined with the young man's words, how could Fusu not understand that he had encountered a human sacrifice.

It is not uncommon to use human sacrifices at this time. In some uncivilized and ignorant places, when people encounter irresistible things, they often choose human sacrifices.

There is a well-known story. During the time of Marquis Wen of Wei, Ximen Bao was ordered to govern Ye County. At that time, living sacrifices were prevalent in Ye County. As a result, Ximen Bao threw all the witches into the river. Afterwards, a series of laws were issued. From this, Ye County County Dazhi.

Fusu motioned slightly, and Yingbo immediately understood, walked up to the young people, and knocked seven or eight of them to the ground with three or two blows.

With a slash of the knife, the ropes on the young man's body were cut immediately. Only then did many villagers notice Fusu's group of uninvited guests.

The old man on crutches walked up to Ying Bu and asked, "Who are you?"

A look of disdain flashed in Yingbo's eyes, and he asked everyone, "Who is the village chief?"

Immediately, a person stood up and said, "I am the village chief."

Yingbu said loudly: "I am Yingbu, Captain of the Great Qin School, and I have been ordered to guard Mr. Fusu."

At the same time, the soldiers behind Fusu also propped up the flag, and Fusu appeared in front of the villagers, holding a king's staff and a sword tied around his waist.

Yingbo looked at the stunned villagers and shouted: "Where the king's stick is, if His Majesty is here in person, why don't you kneel down and worship?"

A roar, coupled with Yingbo's own incomparable aura, immediately made many villagers kneel down.
