Zhu Xiucai frowned, obviously realizing that there was something strange about this matter.
"Sir, what do you think the emperor wants to do by summoning Lao Cai and Li Shuibo to the capital? Is he trying to test us?"
"Testing is one thing, but besides that, I'm afraid I have other ideas..."
Qin Shaoyou touched his chin, thinking about Emperor Jianwu's intention of doing this.
In order to make better discoveries, he asked Zhu Xiucai to help him release a mantra that would help him think.
Zhu Xiucai nodded and accepted the order, took out "Shang Shu" from his arms, tilted his head and thought about it, stirred up his Confucianism, and spoke the truth to Qin Shaoyou: "A fool will surely gain something after thinking a lot."
Um?
Qin Shaoyou was stunned when he heard this. He felt as if his brain was rusty and the movement slowed down.
Is this how the Fool feels? Abba, Abba, Abba... Abba, what the hell, what I want is the buff, not the negative one!
Qin Shaoyou's face darkened. Just as he was about to scold Zhu Xiucai, his eyes caught sight of the tribute fruits placed on the altar table in the temple.
At this moment, a thought suddenly popped into his rusty head - "Sacrifice!"
"Yes, sacrifice!"
Qin Shaoyou felt that he had captured a key clue.
However, in the state of a fool, it was difficult for him to think carefully. He could only speak quickly and urged Zhu Xiucai: "That's it, that's it. Put away the power of the truth."
Qin Shaoyou was afraid that if time dragged on for too long, he would forget this hard-earned clue in his fool's state.
"Is it discovered so soon?"
Zhu Xiucai was very surprised and obediently put away his power of truth. At the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little complacent.
"It seems that my power of truth is becoming more and more powerful."
Qin Shaoyou, who was out of the fool's state, quickly started thinking and guessing along the clue of 'sacrifice':
"Emperor Jianwu is currently worried about the sacrifice he has to offer to the mad god. At this time, he urgently summoned Lao Cai and my brother to the capital. In addition to further testing us, I am afraid he also wants to take Lao Cai and my brother.
Brother is the alternative..."
"Alternative? What alternative?"
Zhu Xiucai was stunned when he heard this.
He actually had a guess in his mind, but he found it a bit unbelievable.
Qin Shaoyou glanced at Zhu Xiucai, nodded and said: "It's the alternative you have in mind! The alternative for the sacrifice!
Once the mad god in the blood moon is dissatisfied with the sacrifices prepared by Emperor Jianwu, he will sacrifice Lao Cai and my brother to the mad god!
A city emperor and a water uncle, although their strength has not yet broken through to the realm of true gods, they are true gods with divine titles and priesthoods. Their flesh and blood and souls must be deeply loved by the mad god..."
After listening to Qin Shaoyou's words, everyone took a breath of cold air.
Su Tingyu even exclaimed: "Using the true god as a sacrifice...isn't this too crazy?!"
Qin Shaoyou snorted coldly and said sarcastically: "Emperor Jianwu was originally a lunatic. He could sacrifice his son, the people, and the national destiny. What does it mean to sacrifice a city emperor and Uncle Shui? As long as he sacrifices his son, the people, and the national destiny.
If he could become an immortal, what would he not dare to do?"
"this……"
Everyone was speechless.
Indeed, based on their understanding of Emperor Jianwu, Emperor Jianwu could really do such a thing.
After a brief silence, Monk Ma couldn't help but ask: "Then what should we do?"
Qin Shaoyou didn't answer in a hurry.
He looked at Cai Guizhong, who was standing on the altar table, made of green smoke, and asked: "How did you deal with it?"
Cai Guizhong replied: "We have people over there in Yizhou who pretend to be us. According to their report, they are the people sent by Emperor Jianwu to deliver the decree to Yizhou. Although they are very polite on the surface, their attitude is very firm. If
If they don't obey the order, they will probably rebel, destroy the temple and arrest people. So we let them go to the capital first to receive the order, and then we will exchange with them when they get to the capital, and then act according to the situation..."
Qin Shaoyou nodded slightly.
Emperor Jianwu was indeed capable of destroying temples and seizing gods.
This person has gone completely crazy in order to become an immortal.
If anyone dares to hinder him, it will really kill someone if someone stands in his way, and someone who stands in the way of a Buddha will kill a Buddha.
What does it mean to destroy temples and imprison gods?
After thinking about it for a while, Qin Shaoyou said: "It's better to go to the capital with the order, so that you can appear in the capital openly and openly."
After a pause, he made a decision and ordered: "Lao Cai, you and my brother will try to use your City Emperor and Uncle Shui's magical powers in the past few days to see if we can find out some information related to the Great Sacrifice.
clue.
Since Emperor Jianwu erected a stage to sacrifice the mad god again, we must tear it down again!"
"Yes." Cai Guizhong accepted the order with his hands raised.
Next, Qin Shaoyou and Cai Guizhong made some specific discussions and arrangements on this matter.
Zhu Xiucai, Cui Yougui and others also made suggestions one after another.
Regardless of whether the methods they give are reliable or not, they still provide some different views and perspectives.
After the discussion, Cai Guizhong said goodbye to Qin Shaoyou, and then disappeared into blue smoke.
Qin Shaoyou and the others stayed in the city emperor's temple to have a good rest.
There were people from the editing factory outside the temple helping to keep watch, and they slept very comfortably.
At dawn, Qin Shaoyou and the others cooked hot pot, ate and drank, and then left the City Emperor Temple under the watchful eyes of several Taoist priests who were trembling and drooling.
Seeing them walking away, the Taoist priests let out a sigh of relief.
But they soon discovered that they were happy too early.
A group of people from the editing factory rushed into the temple like wolves and tigers, and interrogated them about what happened in the temple last night.
This is how I escaped from the tiger's den and entered the wolf's den.
The Taoists in the Chenghuang Temple were about to cry.
Not daring to disobey, they recounted what happened last night from beginning to end.
Of course, these things were all ‘seen’ in their dreams.
But they didn't know it was a dream, they just thought it was a real thing.
The people in the editorial office listened very carefully, and even deliberately interrupted and asked questions. In the end, they confirmed that what they told was the truth and they did not lie.
"It seems that Qin Shaoyou and the others were here last night. They were just staying overnight and didn't do anything. That's right. We watched outside the temple all night. If they did anything strange, we would definitely find out... Well, what?
Does it smell so good?"
The eunuch who led the team couldn't help but sniffed and looked surprised after analyzing and judging.
A Taoist hurriedly replied: "It's the hot pot cooked by the night watchmen, the residual fragrance."
"They also cooked hot pot and ate it?"
This group of people in the editing factory are full of envy and jealousy in their hearts.
We camped out all night outside the temple, but you are better off, not only sleeping soundly but also cooking hot pot in the temple...
You are all on a fucking mission, why can you be so comfortable?
