Chapter 181 The Terrifying Sacrifice of Living People

On Yao Yun's way to the Wu Temple, golden light flashed out from the Huangshi Tianshu.

When Yao Yun looked at it, he found that there was another task on the Huangshi Heavenly Book.

[It has not rained for more than a month in Xi'an, and the people's farmland is in danger. As the king of a country, Xi Yunnan should solve the problems of the people. Task: Solve the shortage of farmland; Reward: "The Remark of the Spirit of All beings-Part 2"].

Yao Yun was naturally interested when he discovered the new task, especially after seeing "The Thoughts of All beings - Chapter 2", Yao Yun seemed very excited.

Although there is no obvious effect after practicing [Tongtianlu of the Spiritual Power of All beings - Part 1], Yao Yun can still vaguely feel the profoundness of this magical technique. The reason why the effect was not obvious before was because of the incompleteness of the technique. As long as you obtain the subsequent technique, you will inevitably discover its true magical function!

After being excited, Yao Yun quickly calmed down again. Although the reward was full of temptation, if he did not complete the task and did not solve the problem for his subjects, everything would be a fantasy.

The southern barbarians where rain is flooded is actually short of water!?

Along the way, Yao Yun was thinking about this issue.

After he advanced to Qi Refiner, he was much more free. He took his army to the wild bison ling and the valleys around the iron mine. He found that there were many large and small lakes, rivers, and creeks around Xiguo. He could see water everywhere he went, and there was no shortage of water.

It has not rained in the past one or two months. It may have been a drought in other places, but it is not that serious in the south.

Thinking of this, Yao Yun's urgent mood gradually calmed down and his steps became more relaxed.

When they arrived at the main hall of the Wu Temple, Wu Tong and a group of Wu Zhu, Wu Tong were present, and Cang Man and Hu Yi were also there.

Here, I have to mention Hu Yi. Because Yao Yun conquered the ghost general Giant Wood, there was a general guarding the iron mine, and Hu Yi was transferred back to Xidu to defend the city by Yao Yun.

This moved Hu Yi very much. Since he made a mistake last time, he thought that he would have to be sent to the edge of the world forever, but unexpectedly, the king transferred him back again, and his long-loving heart continued to decline, which moved him very much. His favorability towards Yao Yun increased rapidly and reached the level of unswerving death.

Yao Yun walked into the hall, walked straight to the throne in the middle, swung his robe, and sat down with a big golden sword: "Second elder, why did the two elders mobilize everyone like this?"

The second elder nodded and said, "King, it has not rained for more than a month. In the past few days, many farmers reported that their paddy fields are short of water and their crops are almost dead!"

It's really for this matter!

Yao Yun then said: "The Second Elder, there are many waterways around Xidu, and there are many lakes and streams. It should not be drought and water shortage. I dare not say that other small lakes will definitely not dry up. Since that is the case, why not diversion water to irrigate the farmland?"

Wu Tong was quite satisfied when he saw what his king said was reasonable and well-founded, but he smiled bitterly on his face and said:

"Your Majesty, you are right. The people have been digging canals and digging ditches, digging rivers and lakes irrigating farmland, which has saved a lot of farmland. However, there are many hills here, with high terrain and undulating terrain. The plains have low terrain and easy to irrigate water. However, many farmlands have high terrain and cannot be irrigated at all. This is the crux of the problem!"

When Yao Yun heard the second elder’s explanation, he suddenly realized that this is how the farmland was short of water.

Seeing that the king understood the reason, the second elder Wu Tong asked, "King, irrigation of farmland is urgent. If it is too late, the harvest in the fields will be less, and many farmlands may not be harvested!"

Yao Yun was stunned. What does it mean to be imminent? Does the second elder Wu Tong have a way?

"Second Elder, do you have any tricks to solve this problem?" Yao Yun asked.

The second elder Wu Tong nodded calmly: "King, I'm asking you to come for this."

After saying that, the second elder Wu Tong handed Yao Yun a bamboo slip.

There were not many words on the bamboo slips, so Yao Yun glanced at them and finished reading them.

After reading it, Yao Yun did not put down the bamboo slips or spoke, but looked shocked, and even felt a little angry and absurd in his heart.

The content on the bamboo slips is nothing else, it is the method of asking for orders for sacrifices. The way of sacrifices is very simple and straightforward, that is human sacrifice!

To put it bluntly, human sacrifice is to use living people to sacrifice. The second elder pleads with twenty slaves as sacrifices to worship ghosts and gods!

Yao Yun's face suddenly collapsed: "Second Elder, what you said is to use living people to sacrifice?"

Wu Tong shook his head and defended him: "King, I didn't say that I used living people, nor did I dare to use the people to sacrifice to the heavens. I used slaves. King. If something goes wrong, there will be monsters. We only need to sacrifice a few slaves. When the monsters disperse by themselves, you don't have to worry!"

Yao Yun was speechless, and the second elder did not regard slaves as human in his words, and looked as if he had taken it for granted.

In other slave places, the status is equivalent to livestock, killing slaves and offering sacrifices to heaven is very normal. In the past, Yao Yun could only imagine this, but when he heard it from Wu Tong's ear, he clearly felt the coldness and cruelty.

Yao Yun did not consider Wu Tong's words, and shook his head and refused, "I disagree to use a living person to sacrifice to the sky, this matter will harm the heavens!"

Wu Tong's face suddenly froze and she smiled bitterly. She was about to convince the king, but Yao Yun spoke.

"Second Elder, isn't Mr. Long? Long can make a comeback and ensure good weather. With him here, water shortage should not be a problem!"

Wu Tong shook his head: "That is a divine method. If Mr. Long could barely protect the surroundings of Xiguo at his peak, but now he is in a dormant period and is powerless. He is currently cultivating and has less time to go out recently."

Yao Yun was disappointed, and he was indeed unable to do things in a difficult manner.

"Second Elder, since that's the case..."

Wu Tong was happy on his face: "King, have you promised someone to sacrifice?"

Yao Yun immediately shook his head, recalling the knowledge of his previous life, he felt a little confident in his heart. As long as there is water source, it is not difficult to irrigate the farmland!

"No, Gu is going to see it. He is not desperate. Gu will not answer people to sacrifice to ghosts and gods. Besides, Gu has a way, and does not need to sacrifice to living people."

As a time traveler, Yao Yun naturally opposed 100% of the sacrifices of living people. This bad habit is cruel and absurd.

The second elder Wu Tong shook his head helplessly. The king's prestige became increasingly popular. Originally, sacrifice was a matter of the Wu Temple, and he, the elder of the Wu Temple, could be done with the order.

But when he ordered the capture of slaves to the Xidu army, the soldiers were moved by nothing.

From the commanding generals Cang Man, Hu B, to ordinary soldiers, the Xidu army was completely in line with the leader of the king. Without the permission of the king, they did not dare to capture slaves at will. After all, slaves are the king's private property, and no one has the courage to do so!

Yao Yun and his group left the Wu Temple and headed to the affected farmland outside Xidu City.

The second elder followed behind and felt a lot of emotion. The king grew up and his wings grew bigger. He was both relieved and helpless.

However, while walking halfway, Wu Tong was not anxious.

After the king inspected, he did not find a solution to the lack of water in the farmland. The king would naturally agree to the sacrifice, so there was no need to worry at all.
