Chapter 2379: Worshiping Heaven
Zhao Xu ordered the guards: "Guards, send these two women back to the palace. They are not allowed to come out without my permission."
"yes!"
The guard responded and was about to send Zhang Chuyi and Su Rou back.
Zhang Chuyi heard a "Huh!" sound in her nose and said: "I can walk by myself!"
After Su Rou and Zhang Chuyi returned to the palace where Zhao Xu lived, Zhang Chuyi complained to Su Rou aggrievedly: "Officer Su, look at Zhao Xu as the lord of Echeng. He only cares about power and women. He has forgotten us a long time ago.
It’s over.”
"Chu Yi, this is your fault. Do you know that making such a fuss just now can easily expose Zhao Xu's identity?"
"People with no conscience like this will be exposed as soon as they are exposed!"
"If Zhao Xu hadn't saved you, you wouldn't be alive now. He has been coping with the situation, but you are ruining it. Even if Zhao Xu slept in the same bed as that woman last night, I think she was definitely not the one you imagined.
Look."
"The two of them sleep together, what else is there to explain? Officer Su, I know you have a good relationship with Zhao Xu, but don't let him deceive you."
"Liar?" Su Rou smiled and said, "You think too much, little girl! What you did just now was really too reckless and almost harmed Zhao Xu. Do you know that?"
Zhang Chuyi fell silent.
She also felt a little regretful about what she had just done.
But Zhang Chuyi is stubborn by nature and is unwilling to admit her mistakes.
After a long time, Zhao Xu opened the door and walked in.
Seeing Zhao Xu coming, Zhang Chuyi turned away angrily and ignored him.
Zhao Xu was too lazy to pay attention to Zhang Chuyi. He walked up to Su Rou and asked, "Officer Su, in two hours, the sacrifice will begin. Do you want to visit the Guifang barbarian tribe's sacrifice?"
"Okay!" Su Rou nodded.
"Then come with me!" Zhao Xu said to Su Rou.
He was about to leave with Su Rou when he heard Zhang Chuyi's voice coming over.
"Uncle, what about me?"
Zhao Xu turned around, glared at Zhang Chuyi and said, "Just stay here! Don't step out of this room. Otherwise, I will let the guards chop off your feet."
Zhang Chuyi was so angry that she stamped her foot and shouted at Zhao Xu: "Why are you so fierce? What happened just now was my fault. I apologize to you, okay?"
"No! You can repent here by yourself. When you figure it out, I will let you out again."
After saying that, he took Su Rou and left the palace.
Zhang Chuyi was so angry that she cursed Zhao Xu in the room: "You damn uncle, you stinky uncle! I didn't expect you to be such a bad uncle."
Su Rou saw all this but didn't say anything.
In addition to Su Rou, Zhao Xu also released Professor Liu.
This is Professor Liu's great opportunity to study the "Ghost Barbarians".
Two hours later, Zhao Xu, wearing a black and white costume, accompanied by Zheng Mingcheng, brought the people from "Echeng" to the altar!
At the altar, the corpses of "General Ming", "General Gong" and Zhen "Echeng Leader" were carried to the sacrifice furnace.
In front of the sacrificial furnace, there were also carcasses of cattle and sheep, all of which had been recently slaughtered.
The area around the altar was filled with people from Echeng, at least 1,800 people.
The Echeng Sacrifice is the grandest event every year in Echeng. Except for some old, weak, sick and disabled people, and some children with three children or less, almost all the people in Echeng came.
Zhao Xu, dressed in fine clothes, slowly walked up to the "altar!"
First, I bowed three times to the sky!
Then, he bowed to the earth three more times!
The people of Echeng all knelt down in front of Zhao Xu and shouted in unison: "I wish Echeng good luck and good luck to the leader forever!"
Shout loudly three times in a row!
Zhao Xu made a "flat body" gesture and said to the people of Echeng in the audience: "Everyone, get up!"
Zhao Xu picked up three long incense sticks, and the guards on the side helped light them.
Also insert three sticks of long incense into the sacrificial furnace.
Looking around at the people in Echeng under the stage, he said loudly: "Recently, our Echeng has experienced great changes! General Si, General Ming, and General Gong have all received the punishment they deserve. God wants to take them away, and we will send them away.
.”
The people of Echeng under the stage couldn't help but raise their arms and shout loudly: "Light the sky lantern! Light the sky lantern! Light the sky lantern!..."
Zhao Xu waved his hand to stop everyone's noise. He said: "We in Echeng have been living in seclusion here for thousands of years. But the outside world has already undergone earth-shaking changes. General Si, General Ming and General Gong are influenced by
Only after being bewitched by bad people would he do the following treasonous things."
"Bring the bad guys up!"
Zhao Xu gave the order, and there were already guards escorting Xichang's envoy "Yang Lin" to the stage.
Zhao Xu pointed at Yang Lin and said to the people of Echeng: "This man is from Xichang. His name is Yang Lin. General Lian. General Ming and General Gong were bewitched by this man."
The people of Echeng under the stage shouted in unison, "Light this man up in the sky!"
"Light the sky lantern!"
"Light the sky lantern! Light the sky lantern!..."
Zhao Xu raised his arm and shouted to stop the noise of the people in Echeng. Zhao Xu said: "Not all bad people are in the outside world. This person is a professor who specializes in special research on our ancient affairs. He
He will not expose us and only wants to be friends with us. Therefore, he is the honored guest of our Guifang Barbarians."
"VIP! VIP! VIP!..."
After Zhao Xu waited for everyone's voices to calm down again, he said: "Everyone follow me to worship your ancestors!"
Zhao Xu knelt down in front of the stone statue of the ancestor of the "Ghost Fang Barbarian Tribe" and kowtowed ten times to the statue respectfully.
The people of Echeng also followed Zhao Xu and kowtowed ten times to the first leader of the "Ghost Fang Barbarian Clan".
After getting up, Zhao Xu clapped his hands.
Some men wearing fancy savage-style clothes, holding torches in one hand and spears in the other, started jumping around under the altar.
Under the stage, there were some people holding gongs, who kept clapping their gongs.
Zhao Xu really couldn't understand what these people were singing.
Anyway, all the sacrificial procedures were carried out according to Hongshang's instruction.
After these people sang and danced, Zhao Xu first poured out some of the wine from a pot and raised it to the sky. Finally, he sprinkled all the wine in front of the stone statue of the first leader of the "Ghost Barbarian Tribe".
Zhao Xu threw the wine bottle to the ground and shouted: "Light the sky lantern!"
The men dancing with torches threw all their torches into the corpse pit in front of the altar.
In the corpse pit, the corpses of "General Sickle", "General Ming" and "General Gong" were lined up side by side.
Chapter completed!
