Chapter 356: The righteous and awe-inspiring village elder
Lu Di didn't speak, Gao Qiang walked over and said in a fluent Jin voice: "This is the face of the prince of Qi Guo, what kind of identity do you dare to speak like this?" ”
Hearing this, the villager's body trembled, and he looked at Lu Di, his eyes flashed, but this kind of flash saw the taste of greed in Lu Di's eyes. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
What, he's Childe?
The villagers were so shocked that their jaws almost fell to the ground.
Wu Zhu was even more surprised and even forgot to scream, he was honestly trampled under Qin's feet.
When the villager heard Gao Qiang's reprimand, he glanced at Gao Qiang, and Gao Qiang felt that the hairs on his whole body suddenly rose, this person was so murderous!
"Lao Yu is a local village elder, although Gongzi Tu is a prince, but after all, he is the son of Qi State, not the son of my Jin Kingdom, not to mention that this is the territory of the Fan family, Gongzi Tu disrupted our ritual of sacrificing to the river god, Lao Yu wants to ask, Gongzi Tu, what kind of heart do you press?" After the villager took the waiter's cane, he smashed it on the ground, and a deep pit came out in an instant.
The words of the villager were echoed by many villagers, who shouted: "What right do you have as a foreigner to manage the affairs of our country?" ”
Zhang Mengtan provoked Huang and the others to be taken aback, and hurriedly drew their swords to block in front of Lu Di.
The villager was obviously very prestigious among the villagers, and although most of the villagers loved Lu Di, they all stood up angrily when they saw Lu Di's entourage draw their swords to deal with the villagers, and picked up wooden sticks or other simple weapons to confront Lu Di and his party.
Only the father and mother of the boy and girl were stunned and overwhelmed.
The two children in Lu Di's arms cried when they saw this, and after Lu Di comforted them, the two boys quieted down and fell asleep after a while.
Seeing this, Gongmingyi, who had already tied his hair, carefully took the second boy from Lu Di's arms, and Lu Di walked over to the old man and said, "What kind of heart does this son press?" Haha, I'd like to ask you this, what kind of heart do you press? ”
Lu Di pointed at the old villager, but the old man raised his head high, turned his head sideways and didn't look at Lu Di, the arrogant and contemptuous look of Lu Di made Lu Di angry in his heart, he really wanted to slap and kick this old immortal down, but he couldn't.
Lu Di took a sharp breath and calmed down his mood: "I, Lu Di, am not the son of your Jin Kingdom, let alone your Fan family, but I, Lu Di, am a scholar in the world, don't you just ask if the scholar sees unnecessary killings and scams?" ”
The villager didn't say anything, his head continued to tilt towards the sky and look, Lu Di sneered when he saw this: "Disrupting the ceremony of sacrificing to the river god, such a big hat, I Lu Di can't afford it." ”
Speaking of this, Lu Di looked at the villagers and asked, "You believe in gods, don't you?" ”
Deities: Distraction and Gods, gods refer to the gods, and the gods in the heavens are all gods, such as Sizhong, Si Ming, Feng Shi, and Rain Master in Chu Ci; It only refers to the god of the earth, and the gods of the earth are all gods of the earth, and the gods of the river belong to the gods of the earth.
Judging from the ancient books of the pre-Qin period, there were other beliefs besides gods at that time, such as the human ghosts recorded in the "Zuo Chuan".
The topic is a bit far away, back to the present.
The villagers nodded sincerely after hearing Lu Di's words, and Lu Di continued when he saw this: "Then do you say that the gods will do bad things?" ”
"This? Naturally, the gods will not do bad things" The villagers were stunned at first when they heard this, they had never thought about this question, would the gods do bad things?
But they quickly reacted, if a god does something bad, is it still a god?
The villagers shouted that the gods were supreme and that they would not do anything bad.
Lu Di laughed when he heard this: "Since the gods don't do bad things, then this son asks you gods will let the witches brutally kill such a young child?" ”
"This?" When the villagers heard Lu Di's words, they didn't know how to answer, and they looked at the villagers one after another.
Seeing this, the villager squinted his eyes and looked at Lu Di: "Naturally, the gods will not cruelly let Wu Zhu kill children, but if they don't kill children to sacrifice to the river god, how can the river god bless me and other villagers?" ”
Lu Di wanted to speak, but the villager grabbed the topic and continued:
"You are a son, so naturally you will not be busy with two meals a day, but I am a person who eats in the field and watches the sky to eat, so how can I get in return if I don't pay?"
"Isn't it cruel to kill these children?"
"The old man naturally knows, but what if he knows? We need to eat, we need the river god to bless us, is that wrong? ”
When the villager elder said the last sad look, all the villagers were moved and confused, and Lu Di looked at the villager with even more clever eyes when he saw this, there is definitely something wrong with this old immortal.
Thinking of this, Lu Di sneered: "Is there anything wrong?" This son tells you, of course there is a mistake. ”
"The river god is a god, the god does not eat grains, does not eat meat, only sucks the wind and dew, and now you sacrifice children to the river god, my son asks you, who do you give these to eat?"
"Look, you don't sacrifice to gods but to people and ghosts, to goblins, because they are the only ones who eat people and children."
Lu Di's words are sonorous and penetrating, indeed, the gods do not eat, so who is the sacrifice for?
It must be a monster in the river!
The villagers thought of the commotion in this place, and it was then that they realized that they had unwittingly made a fatal mistake.
Sure enough, Lu Di's words confirmed their speculation: "My son thinks that you are sacrificing the monsters and human ghosts in this river, right?" If you want to betray the gods and throw yourself into the arms of monsters, men and ghosts, are you not afraid of the gods' punishment? ”
When the villagers heard this, they hurriedly fluttered and fell to their knees in prayer.
At this time, on the river beach of Nuoda, only Lu Di and his party and the villager were standing, and the look in the villagers' eyes when they looked at Lu Di became even colder.
"In that case, what does Childe mean?" The villager sneered.
Lu Di said as if he hadn't seen it: "There is a ritual to sacrifice to the river god, sincerity is the most important, of course, sacrifice is also indispensable, but after completing the sacrifice ceremony, you must distribute the tribute to everyone like Da Da to enjoy food, and ask for the meaning of food from the gods."
"And such a thing as sacrificing a living person is against heaven and harmony, not only will you not get the blessing of the gods, but you will also get the curse of the gods, because it is standing with people, ghosts, and goblins."
"In general, this is the reason why Yin Shang was replaced by my Great Zhou; To put it mildly, this is the reason why the land of Fenyin has been plagued by famines year after year."
"It's not the river god who has abandoned you, it's you who have abandoned the river god"
"You know now that it's not too late to wake up, I believe that as long as you are sincere in sacrificing to the river god, this year will definitely be a year of rain and good weather" Finally, Lu Di gave the villagers a hope.
