in the name of calamity

Xi's illness miraculously healed, and Yue didn't let Xi tell the truth, so let them think that his last question is amazing.

King Nanque sat on the edge of the bed, and said to Xi: "Tomorrow is the three-year sacrifice in our country, let the national Taoist pray for San'er!"

"Thank you, Father!"

As soon as the old man left, Yue asked strangely, "What sacrifice?"

Xi explained, "It is a great sacrifice once every three years in our country, praying for good weather and good weather for the country and the people."

Yue nodded, suddenly full of interest in tomorrow's sacrifice.

The little thing gnawed on his own carrot and ate it vigorously.Yue waved his hand speechlessly, he didn't even know that the fox still likes to eat carrots, it thought it was a rabbit.

The next day, Yue left Xiaohu in the palace, and followed Xi to the sacrificial altar.

As if all sacrifices were the same, pigs, ducks, livestock, water, grains, wine and fruits were all placed on a table.

Today's sacrifice is different from the past. It is three years together to pray for the balance of Sijiang and good weather.The national Taoist placed all the sacrifices, put on Taoist clothes, and began to read French.

Yue stood behind Xi and started to yawn. Normally, he would have listened to this sacrificial oration very piously, but after listening to it N times, he was already numb to the point of hearing the initial "For me" The four words "God" are very difficult.

Xi sat there watching seriously, but heard the person behind him lazily say: "Waste time!"

Xi was a little bit blamed, "At the end of the question, don't talk nonsense!"

Yue rolled his eyes, because of Xi's sincerity, and because of Xi's words: "After this sacrifice, our country will have good weather for another three years, so we can't be disrespectful to the gods."

Because of this sentence, Yue paid special attention to the sacrificial national Taoist.

After looking at it, I didn't see anything special about it. If he was really an envoy of God, why couldn't he feel a trace of Dharma Qi flowing smoothly.

[A magic stick, who dared to pretend to be a great god just after learning some Taoism, ancient and four scriptures] Yue's cold voice revealed too much contempt.

[You mean, he's a liar? ] Net strange surprise.

[It can’t be counted, at least his initial prayer is correct. ]

[I don't understand! ] Jing was somewhat confused.

Yue didn't explain, but just looked at the river beside him, wanting to ask him what he was looking at, but because of Yue's expression, he shut his mouth.

Yue Rounuan's profile, watching the turbulent river water, remained silent, concentrating on it.

In the eyes of others, only Yue himself knew what he was thinking about, and suddenly he had a bad feeling.On a bamboo table brought up by someone in the background, he saw a pair of lovely and beautiful boys and girls.

He hated it, and recited the ancient prose, but at that time the teacher liked to make him recite, so the only thing Yue remembered was this sentence - a folk saying goes: "If you don't marry a wife for He Bo, the water will come and go. Drowning its people' cloud. "

The meaning is very clear, that is, if He Bo is not married, he will send a flood and drown the people.

However, the current situation is to turn the beauties into virgins. The children are so innocent. What do they know? Just because of someone's words, their life and death can be determined, which is ridiculous.

The crowd was very quiet, but none of the thousands of people spoke, only the hoarse voice of the national road master echoed.The two children were still playing the game of rock-scissors on the stage, completely unaware that they would be thrown into the river afterwards.However, can a child who is only a few years old understand what death is and what fear is?

Suddenly there was a heart-piercing cry, and two women rushed out of the crowd, shouting and rushing to the platform.

Yue couldn't hear what they were shouting, but he knew that these two women were the mothers of the virgin boy and girl.

The National Taoist looked at the two people who were rushing over, and reprimanded: "It's unreasonable, what is the crime for disrupting the sacrifice, and leave quickly."

The woman didn't care about this, but just shouted, "My son, my son..."

The National Road Master waved his hands impatiently, and shouted loudly: "The time has come, congratulations..."

"Didn't your father stop it?" Yue asked strangely.

Xi followed Yue and stood under the platform, sighing: "Yue is the intention of the gods, we can't stop it, or the gods will be offended."

"I bah——" Yue cursed without thinking when he heard Xi's words.

Xi looked at Yue with an angry face in astonishment, he had never seen him swearing, so he was taken aback.Seeing that the two little flowers were about to be thrown into the river, none of the presiding ministers and generals in the stands responded.

He didn't believe in this kind of inhumane sacrifice. The old Nanque would not know, but he also acquiesced in this way. It's a miracle that Nanque didn't perish.

The crowd whispered something sparsely, and no one stepped forward except sighing regretfully.The two children were still facing the river, giggling.

Seeing that their sons and daughters were about to throw themselves into the river, the two women yelled and passed out.

The four big men carrying the two children put the board down and pushed it hard, and the board left the shore with the waves.

Everyone's eyes fluctuated up and down along the board. Seeing that they hadn't reached the center, the board was tilted to the side due to the fluctuation of the river water. The two children were so frightened that they forgot to cry.

Everyone's hearts were entangled, but at this moment, a person flew into the lake.

Someone shouted, "Someone jumped into the river."

However, the cry came to an abrupt end, and the person who fell into the lake touched the water of the river and floated all the way to the sacrificial board.Lift the two children with one hand and push their feet, so they can use the bamboo board to fly all the way against the water.

In addition to the astonished eyes in the crowd, there was an expression of taking a deep breath.This one looks like a visitor from outside the sky, and also looks like a water spirit, standing on the ground like a flat ground on the turbulent river, is it human?

When the person flew ashore and saw the person's face clearly, he asked uncertainly in his heart, is this a person?

Someone shouted, "The God of the River, it's the God of the River!"

Then Yue saw a lot of people bowing down, Yue comforted the two terrified children, raised his head and glanced coldly at the crowd, was shocked, and then accepted it calmly.

In addition to the roar of the river, the person who bowed down, his voice overwhelmed the river, and he could clearly hear people's ears, clear and clean: "You worshiped the wrong person, I am not the god of the river!"

Then someone shouted in disbelief: "Young master must be the river god, if not, how can you come and go freely on this river, the river god has heard our prayers."

Yue rolled his eyes, and said to the crowd who were still kneeling under the scorching sun, "Get up!"

Very obedient, everyone got up, crossed the crowd, and Yue's eyes looked at the national Taoist who stood there in disbelief.He walked towards him step by step.

The crowd naturally gave way, and the young man's elegant white clothes fluttered with the direction of the wind, like a fairy, like a fog.That beautiful face made today's sunshine a lot dim.

The national Taoist stared straight at the boy who was walking towards him, and he asked the boy, "Who are you?"

Yue looked at him, and replied indifferently: "The messenger of heaven."

The national Taoist twitched, and wanted to refute, but was speechless because of the inhuman action of the young man just now.

"The last question, the last question..." Yue was bumped into the arms by the young man who rushed out suddenly, the force almost made him unable to stand still.The boy in his arms trembled a little, Yue knew he was afraid.

"Third Highness..." He gestured to Liu Muqing who was following with his eyes, and seeing that he pulled away knowingly, he nodded.

"Look, it's General Liu, and that one is His Highness the Third Highness!" A chaotic voice erupted from the crowd.

Yue coughed lightly, and said to the dazed national Taoist: "The Taoist has no idea. How can the river god not get tired of the boys and girls every year? Since the Taoist is so familiar with the river god, I would like to ask the Taoist to talk to the river god." The God of the River said that at the end of the day, he would choose some beauties for him."

"No, no..." The National Road Master quickly shook his head when he heard Yue say this, "This... the River God only likes boys and girls!"

Yue raised his eyebrows: "Oh, how did the Taoist know this? The River God told me just now that he was tired of doing this again and again and wanted something new."

"This, let's postpone it for a few days!" The National Road Master wisely found the steps to go down.

How could Yue let him have this opportunity, and smiled slightly: "The Taoist is going to go, the God of the River is afraid that I will not convey clearly, so he specifically asked me to let the Taoist go there by himself."

Hearing what he said, the national Taoist suddenly turned pale, slammed the table tremblingly, and shouted: "You are talking nonsense, you are talking nonsense!"

The crowd yelled, "Go down, Taoist, go down, Taoist!"

"No, no, don't listen to his nonsense, he is a liar, a liar!"

Yue looked at his panicked expression, and whispered coldly: "Through just now, you said they believe you or me!"

"You..." The National Road Master looked at the smiling person in horror, and suddenly felt a chill down his back.

"Come here, what are you waiting for, send the Taoist down, don't let the River God wait!"

After saying this, the crowd seemed to be united, Liu Muqing nodded slightly, and immediately with a wave of his hand, two people picked up the National Road Master who was already weak in legs, and threw him into the river directly under his shout .

The group of officials who participated in it wanted to escape.

How could Yue let them go, still smiling, Yue said to Liu Muqing: "General Liu, the God of the River wants to discuss important matters, so I went to the National Road Master, I'm afraid I can't explain clearly, the responsible officials will naturally go to a few .”

As soon as Yue finished speaking, he saw several people who had stood up, some timid ones had already fallen to the ground, and some shook their heads in an uneven tone: "No, no, I'll just wait...don't...don't go... …not going……"

"Why don't you go? The River God loses his temper. Who of you can handle it? I'm afraid that the National Road Master alone won't be able to convince the River God. Let's go together!"

"No, no, I can't tell you clearly, don't go, don't go!"

Is it up to you to make a decision? Regardless of their sharp cries, Liu Muqing has already thrown people into the river.

"Third Highness..." Liu Muqing looked at Xi with a questioning look. The officials who were thrown away, ranging from fifth-rank officials to senior third-rank officials, have lost five or six high-ranking officials at once. How will they explain when they go back? .

Seeing Xi Ye's embarrassed look, Yue smiled lightly, and said indifferently, "General, you don't have to worry about it. When you return to the palace, you will explain it clearly to the king at the end of the question."

The young man spoke calmly, but there was a sense of confidence, a frank smile, and no embarrassment at all.

This farce brought an imperfect end to the boy who suddenly appeared on the river. Yue didn't think so much when saving people, but Liu Muqing's embarrassment made him suddenly have an idea .

He finally thought of the identity of someone who can stand upright on the main hall of Nanque - that is the national teacher of Nanque Kingdom!
