"Didn't Xiao Jin explicitly prohibit living sacrifices?" Hearing this request, Tang Shidao frowned. He was very aware of the stubbornness of some people towards customs, and was not opposed to most of the customs and habits of Shuihua Country. But it seems that living sacrifices and burials are

, customs such as ghost marriage are absolutely prohibited, including some customs of self-mutilation of hands, legs and facial features, and must not continue.

Because Shuihua Kingdom has been in constant war for years, living sacrifice is the most serious and common form.

This custom includes river sacrifices, mountain sacrifices, fire sacrifices, sea sacrifices, and even some Caotou kings hacked several people to death before going out to fight, replacing the sacrifice of cattle and sheep. When the Tang army settled the world, Xiao Jin once issued a death order, and all

The local government must stop all living sacrifices, otherwise they will be executed together with the local officials.

Upon hearing the witch's request, Tang Shidao couldn't help but feel that Nitama was teasing me.

in the statute.

The prohibition of living sacrifices and burials is the most stringent law, yet some people still defy the rule of law.

"Reporting to your majesty, the law prohibits it, but in fact it is just a different method." The witch said slowly, explaining the variant form of this living sacrifice. Before, the living sacrifice of the witch was very simple, and twelve people were randomly selected every year.

A witch was tied to a copper pillar and burned to death as an offering to the God of Fire.

The reason is very noble.

They said they were praying for the whole group, and if they were burned, they would be sent to heaven, transformed into servants of gods, and enjoy eternal bliss, etc. But in the end, they were simply burned to death.

Xiao Jin issued an order banning all living sacrifices, and the local governor naturally followed the order.

therefore.

Simply tying them to a copper pillar and burning them to death wouldn't work. It would violate the imperial order and lead to beheading. So, the living witch sacrifice method was changed to another method. Twelve witches were randomly selected and sent to the mountain where they were sacrificed, and then...

…burn the mountain down!

"What did you say?"

Before Tang Shidao could respond, Gu Xuanwu started shouting.

Is there any difference?

"Isn't this the same as a living sacrifice?" Tang Shidao didn't like this kind of obedience. Some vested interests in the custom also came to Turtle Back City to protest, but they were not arrogant, but believed that there was nothing wrong with their way. Witches living sacrifices

These people are different. They nod "I agree" but actually do something else.

"No, they said it was an accident. Even if the mountain fire happened, it was a blessing from the God of Fire." The witch said in a low voice.

"What an accident, what a blessing." Gu Xuanwu smiled, a cold smile.

Tang Shidao had nothing to say.

Summon Xiao Jin.

Xiao Jin replied: "Master, I have always dealt with this kind of problem, and I have never been soft-hearted. Since the master is there, why not let them 'live by God and die by God'. There is no shortage of people seeking death in Shuihua Planet.

We have no shortage of killing knives either."

Tang Shidao also agreed with this approach.

If mercy is used on bad people, what should be used on good people? Strict self-discipline is not guaranteed, and breaking laws and regulations is protected. What is the meaning of Shuihua Country?

"Lin Wu."

"The humble job is here."

"Cooperate with the witches to thoroughly investigate these people, capture them together with the local governor who is protecting them, and send them all to the mountain. At the same time, invite the people nearby to watch, and tell them that the incarnation of the God of Fire will come to greet its envoy.

"Tang Shidao ordered.

"Yes." Lin Wu didn't know, but Jin Yiwei didn't need to understand the emperor's intention, he just needed to follow it.

At this time.

Tang Shidao motioned to the witch to come forward: "I agree to your request, and I will completely prohibit this kind of thing in the future, no matter what excuse."

While he was talking, all the witches bowed and shed tears.

A layer of red light shone on the witch's body, and her body's power began to awaken.

She suppressed it and there was no change.

However, she knew what had happened to her and why she was called Suzaku. At this time, Tang Shidao said again: "The Jinyi guards will send those people to the mountain without trial or conviction. Hey, this is the last time. You will

The honor of the god of fire sends them off."

The miko nodded solemnly.

One day later.

The Jinyi people brought people, a group of people shouting "Unjust". People are familiar with them. This is a group of angels who will burn your daughter to death without bribery. Today, they were sent to the mountain. Then... everyone

I saw a giant firebird with a wingspan of more than 300 meters descending and burning the entire sacrificial mountain into white ground.

Its screams include anger, sadness, and joy.

at last.

Jin Yiwei came out to announce the decree, announcing that the witch was promoted to the official "Suzaku", responsible for raising Suzakus, and also supervising all matters related to living sacrifices in the world. Anyone who violates this law, Suzaku has the power to send them to prison.

Meet the God of Fire.

Upon hearing this, all the tribesmen in the Nanhua tribe shouted long live, and the dark clouds that had been hanging over their hearts instantly dissipated.

The Emperor may not be larger than the Archon of Vulcan.

However, the incarnation of the God of Fire must be greater than the envoy of the God of Fire... In everyone's eyes, Suzaku is the incarnation of the God of Fire!

After Tang Shidao obtained the 'Summon Suzaku', he led Gu Xuanwu, Nie Qinglong and Ya Suzaku to fly back to Turtle Back City, and at the same time asked the golden giant puppet to return the Louchuan Castle to the big lake near Turtle Back City. Qilin and White Tiger returned

There was no news, but Tang Shidao was not in a hurry. After these three times, Tang Shidao probably found his rhythm.

The remaining two must be in the central and western areas.

Return to Turtle City.

Xiao Jin directly took away Gu Xuanwu, Yan Qinglong and Ya Zhuque to talk. Their identities were different, and the things they needed to know were also different. In a sense, they were the same as Xiao Jin. The difference was that Xiao Jin was a mage demon, while they watched

Doorman.

Tang Shidao didn't pay much attention, believing that Xiao Jin could handle it well.

At this time, Luo Weng and a group of cabinet officials arrived.

Because of the arrival of a large number of Xuanwu beasts, Turtle Back City became extremely lively. This was something from legend, and even the scholars of the Earth Emperor Star were shocked. Luo Weng and others came over to ask some questions, such as the name of Turtle Back City,

Another example is the name of the big lake next to it. Tang Shidao was accustomed to simple names, and Shuihua Kingdom was quite resentful of the word "back" in Turtle Back City.

There is absolutely no such thing as Turtle City among the people. There are only Turtle City, Turtle City, Turtle City, etc. No one talks about memorizing the word.

"What suggestions do you have?" Tang Shidao never worried about trivial matters and left them all to everyone.

"The cabinet recommends that Turtle Back City be renamed 'Huajing'. The large lake next to it is originally nameless. Since we are planning to give birth to a holy beast, it is better to call it 'Holy Lake'. The Golden Fairy also said that it should not be too complicated, and I beg your Majesty to make a decision."

Luo Weng and others had obviously asked Xiao Jin for his opinion, otherwise it would not have been so simple.

"Okay, as you wish."

"One more thing, what should we do with the other captured kings? Our heavenly army has wiped out forty-seven countries and captured thirty-five kings of other countries. Because the speed is too fast, we can't do anything for a while. They once

Claiming that as long as there is a vassal territory, Shuihua is the suzerainty." Luo Weng and others did not dare to make up their minds.

They guessed that there might no longer be two kingdoms in the world, not even vassal states. His Majesty the Tang Emperor gave royal titles to some ancient heroes who died in battle, but no living person could be crowned king.

Even the fiefdoms were abolished and the world became one.

Neighboring countries are unwilling to surrender, part of the reason is that they can't even become a vassal king. Of course, the Shuihua Cabinet doesn't care whether these scum surrender or not. Anyway, it's just a big army, and no one can beat the iron soldiers. Some people who have been to the

The officials of the Imperial Star also know that machines can fly in the sky, ships can dive into the water, and people can travel all over the planet quickly. Princes and feudal lords should have disappeared long ago.

"Leave it to Xiao Jin, I'm not interested in asking."

"But Your Majesty..."

"Luo Weng, what I want to do is to find the other four sister stars. I don't want to listen to the people who want to cede territory and become kings. If Xiao Jin can stay, he can stay and kill if he wants. I don't care about the power and position of a few people. I just want

As long as most people live a good life, I know there are many people who are dissatisfied with this change. To paraphrase Xiao Jin: They don’t lack brains, and we don’t lack machetes either.”

"I understand." Luo Weng and others bowed and handed over their hands, knowing what His Majesty the Tang Emperor meant.

This is not a state negotiation.

This is a unilateral notification...I am unilaterally informing you that death or surrender is the outcome, with no conditions negotiated and no third option.

A little more leisurely.

Bai Mei and Lei Dazhuang came over to talk.

Fly over here.

Lei Dazhuang had a stinking look on his face and proudly showed off his sky-light wings: "Taoist priest, these are the 'wings' given by Master. How about it, majestic? You don't know, when I fly in the sky, a group of girls underground are screaming,

He looked like he was about to faint with admiration."

Tang Shidao smiled.

The master Liu Yuansi you are talking about is me. I would be surprised if I didn't know: "Fat man, are you sure they are not screaming because they are afraid that you will fall and hit them?"

Lei Dazhuang looked unhappy: "These are unscientific wings. You think they are as unreliable as scientific products."
