Three Kingdoms, at the beginning of the game, recognize the thief as the father, hit the spectacle,

"In our Kuai family, or among the aristocratic families who are expected to inherit the knowledge related to qi, we often think that all changes in the world, whether it is the changes of mountains and rivers, the alternation of winter and summer, or the existence and reproduction of creatures in the world, can actually be attributed to Because it is a change of 'Qi'."

"And the so-called qi-watching technique is actually a method of observing and using 'qi', which is a type of physiognomy."

"As for praying, offering sacrifices to gods, and asking for lottery, they belong to the branch of divination, which is different from physiognomy, but there are similarities between the two."

"In a sense, divination and physiognomy both have content related to offering sacrifices to the gods of heaven and earth, but both of them only regard the process of offering sacrifices to the gods as a tool, and the essence of each other is still somewhat different. .”

He was blushing and telling Zhang Yan, because of Kuai Qi's nervousness, he told Zhang Yan a lot of secrets. Open your mouth and ask a few words.

It wasn't until a long time passed that Zhang Yan finally understood the principle of offering sacrifices to gods when the girls present were already getting a little impatient from being bitten by mosquitoes.

To put it simply, the so-called sacrificial behavior is nothing more than a person with the ability to watch Qi, through a ritual-like behavior, mobilize and use the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, and then directly or indirectly affect the status quo of the entire world .

But in the eyes of ordinary people who don't have the ability to watch qi, and don't even know the existence of qi, such behavior is no different from the gods descending to earth, and what's more, they attribute this phenomenon to the blessing of gods. There is no doubt about the existence of the gods.

The concepts of the moon god Wangshu, the sun god Xihe, and some gods of mountains, rivers, birds and beasts were all born on the land of China under such circumstances.

Perhaps at the beginning of this kind of thing, it was just a fortune teller who used the influence of the moonlight to slightly affect the direction of the weather or other related things.

But in the eyes of ordinary people, this kind of behavior naturally becomes the appearance of the "Moon God" after being sacrificed, to bless the Han with good weather, the country and the people, and even enjoys offering sacrifices to the gods.

Just like the group of generals under Zhang Yan, Pei Yuanshao, Zhou Cang and others from relatively humble backgrounds, although they know what kind of power they have beyond ordinary people and how to improve their strength, but for their own strength to improve Most of them are half-understood, and they can only apply it clearly, but it is not easy to hand it over to others.

Yang Feng, Han Xian, and even Xu Huang, who are also generals, generally understand that a large part of the general's physical strength comes from the use of aura between heaven and earth, but if they really talk about how to use it, they But it can only be said to be so-so.

If he really explained how to use spiritual energy and enhance his strength, Zhang Yan estimated that it would have to be a first-class peerless general like Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, or even Lu Bu to be able to explain it clearly.

But then again, people's curiosity is often aimed at things they don't understand.

After knowing that the distance that this kind of thing affects reality is no different from his own spectacle, Zhang Yan also lost interest in these things.

On the other hand, Qiao Ying was on the side. She listened to the general idea in a state of half sobriety and half ignorance. She didn't really understand the principle of the sacrifice, but she was sure of one thing, that is, during the Moon Festival, the sacrifice Worshiping the moon god or Wang Shu, who is the agent of the moon, will really have a certain effect.

For some reason, Qiaoying suddenly became interested in such nagging things.

"Well, husband, since Prime Minister Kuai Guo said so, how about we also pray to the moon god and make some wishes?"

A small head protruded from behind Zhang Yan. After hearing that it would be easier to make a wish on something that symbolizes the moon during the Moon Festival, Qiao Ying suddenly wanted to try it out.

You know, she and Zhang Yan have been married for more than two or three months, but there has been no movement until now. Although the parents on both sides and Zhang Yan are not in any hurry, as a wife, Qiao Ying's heart But always have some ideas.

After all, if this kind of thing doesn't exist for the time being, don't worry, but if it does, it will be a good thing in the eyes of people of this era.

In addition, in the Qin and Han Dynasties, there was sometimes no obvious boundary between the concubine and the concubine. Qiao Ying, who had already felt a little pressure on some people, would naturally feel a sense of urgency.

Of course, according to her level of physiological knowledge, or even the level of physiological knowledge of 90.00% of the Han people in this period, Qiaoying must not be able to figure out the difference between the "physiological period", "safe period" and "dangerous period". The difference between classes and concepts.

Maybe she can beat Zhang Yan in calculating the actual date through rich experience, but when it comes to the principle of this kind of thing, ordinary people must not understand this kind of thing without more than two or three years of popular science knowledge about biology go.

Under such circumstances, as long as Zhang Yan hasn't lost his head and still remembers how to operate, Qiao Ying, whose body is still a little immature, will definitely not make any movement in two to three years, or even three to five years.

Some things, if you hit the edge of the ball, you will hit it. This is human nature, and there is no way to avoid it.

Just giving birth prematurely...

Whether it's the poor sanitation level of this era, or the risks and harm this kind of behavior brings to the mother, Zhang Yansheng can't afford even the slightest thought of becoming a father as soon as possible.

It can be said that under the pressure of knowledge and skills, Qiaoying's desire to make some movement as soon as possible will definitely not have a chance to be realized in the short term.

Not to mention the Moon God, even if it is the Western Songzi Guanyin or even the more Western Succubus, it is useless, Zhang Yan puts it here.

However, after hearing Qiao Ying say that she wanted to pray and make a wish, Zhang Yan did not refuse, but thought for a moment before nodding.

To be honest, he still has something he wants to wish for.

Don't ask the gods to help him realize it directly, as long as it can win a good fortune.

In front of the two of them, Kuai Qi, Zhang Yan and Qiao Ying already had the intention of praying and making a wish, so they naturally took two steps back with a wink, facing the original statue of Wang Shu The position was given to two people.

Afterwards, as if to please him, he took out two long sticks from the spare lottery holder and handed them to Zhang Yan.

It is different from the "seeking lottery" after Buddhism entered China. In the early days, the "signature" did not directly engrave any good or bad omens on it, or write on it like a riddleman. There are a lot of riddles for those eminent monks to interpret for the lottery seekers.

In the Qin and Han Dynasties, and even earlier, the "sign" was actually a specially made bamboo tablet, which was baked on a flame after being painted with varnish. Make some changes and get feedback.

Seeing that both of them looked a little stupid, it was obvious that they had never done such a thing in their own home, Kuai Qi took a deep breath, and like a male mother, he took care of the bamboo sticks and put them away directly. In the hands of two people.

"My lord, and Mrs. Zhang, you two just need to hold a bamboo stick to make a wish, and after the wish is completed, place the bamboo stick on the flame of the candlestick to bake."

"I'm not a professional fortune-teller, so I can't tell anything from the cracks on the bamboo sticks. Those are only things that the 'Wenwang Pai' who hold the tortoise shell and ponder all day will study."

"However, there is no need to look at this crack. Whether it is successful or not is not something that can be said clearly by the crack."

After exhorting the two of them one after the other, Kuai Qi signaled Qiao Ying to go forward to make a wish to the statue of Wang Shu first, and then took advantage of the other party's time to make a wish, and whispered another sentence to his lord.

But the content of the muttering made Zhang Yan a little dumbfounded.

"By the way, my lord, when you make a wish later, you don't need to bow your head like I did, as long as you don't have distracting thoughts in your heart."

"Mountains, rivers, plants and trees all have spirituality, and the sun, moon and galaxy are no exception."

"My lord, you are a prince. Except when you need to respect the world when offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, you can be treated equally at other times."

Walking slowly to the statue with the bamboo fiber in his hand, Zhang Yan and Qiao Ying stood there shoulder to shoulder. After adjusting his breathing, he slowly closed his eyes.

And the wish he wanted to make gradually appeared in his mind.

"I also ask the moon god to bless me, bless my family to be safe and harmonious, my father Zhang Rang to be safe from the catastrophe next year, and my wife Qiao Ying to be happy and free from the pain of parting."

First it was a wish, and after a while, Zhang Yan began to mutter again in his heart, as if the intermission had ended.

"I also ask the moon god to bless you, and bless the people of Lujiang to live and work in peace and contentment without suffering from the chaos of war. Please bless that no one will freeze to death or starve to death this year, at least not in Lujiang."

……

"I also ask the moon god to bless me, bless me with good weather and good weather in Lujiang in the coming year, and bless the country and people of Han Dynasty..."

……

"Also please bless the moon god, bless me..."

……

I don't know whether it is in the spirit of pragmatism or what, after making a wish, Zhang Yan made a second, third, fourth and even more wishes.

In his mind, anyway, the degree of efficacy or utility of this kind of thing is just that, so he might as well have a few more, maybe the effect can be more obvious.

It's just that in a place he didn't notice, in the blind spot behind Zhang Yan, a relatively retro white frame began to tremble slightly, and gradually became faintly visible.

As if no one else present could see the frame, after Zhang Yan finished making a wish and the white interface stopped vibrating, Zhang Yan's fame, which hadn't been seen for a long time, began to throb violently.

Chapter 18 Three Major Events in Lujiang

The Mid-Autumn Festival, that is, the Moon Festival in the Qin and Han Dynasties, has finally passed.

After a period of hard work, many people got a little rest on this day. At the same time, many people participated in the activities of offering sacrifices to the moon god and admiring the lanterns and the moon for the first time. The concept initially extended from the level of the gentry to the level of ordinary people.

It's just that no matter what, the festival will eventually pass, and rest is just a short episode in daily life.

When the moon gradually changed from round to short, people still returned to the busyness of the past.

At this point, it is the same whether it is ordinary people or dignitaries.

A few days later, the sun hung high in the sky over Lujiang River. Under the shining sunlight, many people began to work in the fields.

And in the fields around the Lujiang River, some news, true or false, began to spread gradually.

Whether it is an old woman in her sixties or a young man in her teens, everyone knows that several major events have happened in Lujiang recently.

First of all, it was a wasteland outside the city. In the past few days, the people who gradually began to work in the fields discovered that some dark things were actually hung on the city walls near the gates of Lujiang Wancheng.

These things were not very eye-catching at first, but not long after, careful citizens discovered that those hanging high on the city wall were nothing but human heads that had been dried and corroded by lime. There was a thump in my heart.

What is even more unacceptable is that just after hundreds of human heads were hung on the city wall, in a wilderness not far from Wancheng, a large number of corpses suddenly appeared, impaled and fixed on the ground. The road is not far.

This kind of situation caused the hunting dogs on the wasteland and the vultures in the forest to howl in turn every night, making ordinary people dare not approach at all.

Not to mention, after a heavy rain, the smell of corruption constantly came from the untreated corpses.

It is precisely because the location Zhang Yan chose is a wilderness near the main road of Wancheng, so whether it is the merchants who come and go, or the people who work in the fields of the Lujiang River, they have already discovered a large number of people who were placed in the fields at the first time. body here.

And when people were talking about who these corpses were, and many people began to panic, Lujiang was mainly responsible for publicizing to the people, and at the same time, the government department that the people in Lujiang were most familiar with just appeared at the right time. At the beginning, Zhang Yan, the prefect of Lujiang River, sent troops to attack Shanyue in the south, and beheaded hundreds of thousands of people, and publicized the fact that all the evildoers were wiped out.

……

"What? You said that Lujiang suddenly had a lot of dead people recently?"

……

"Oh, it's okay, those are some traitors who committed crimes. While not listening to the teachings of the Han court, they also commit crimes and harm the lives of the people all day long."

"It is precisely because of this that our Lujiang prefect Zhang Yanzhang Shijun couldn't bear to hurt his people, so he sent the big Han Tian army under him to the south to wipe out those thieves in one fell swoop. On the south wall, to frighten Xiaoxiao."

……

"What, you said that there are not so many soldiers in Lujiang, and it is impossible to defeat Shanyue in the south?"

……

"Hey, you don't know that, do you?"

"Our new prefect is different from that counselor Lu Kang. Not only does he dare to fight, he is also a general from the Luoyang Imperial City. He is extremely capable of fighting."

"This time, it was the private soldiers saved by the prefect when he was fighting everywhere, and completely wiped out Shanyue in our Lujiang County for several years in one fell swoop."

"I heard from one of my colleagues in Qianxian County that the battle was fought in the dark, and it was as spectacular as when General Huangfu and General Lu fought against the Yellow Turban Bandit Zhangjiao in Julu. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see it."

……

"What, you still said that what the prefect did was too bloody and a bit inhuman?"

……

"Please! Ask the family members of the victims who have been harassed by Shanyue, and see if they think the prefect's practice is too inhumane?"

"I dare say, as long as your words are heard by them, I can't guarantee that the prefect will be inhumane, but it will definitely not take three days for you to be beaten inhumanely."

……

"Wait, why do you talk so much? Why do you always speak for those killed Shanyue? Who are you?"

"Damn it, you're not the hidden Yamagoshi, are you?!"

"Don't move around, the Public Security Bureau enforces the law, come with me!"

……
