Tuoba Jing's face darkened, and he quickly pulled Liao Yuan outside, trying to avoid Ji Lingxuan, lest she hear something.
No matter who hears that someone wants to kill them, they will probably not be happy, right?
What Ji Lingxuan did was just to let his sister escape the insult. If she helped him with what he didn't dare to do, then he should also be allowed to deal with the aftermath!
However, Liao Yuan's voice was so loud that Ji Lingxuan could hear every word he said clearly even if she was in the next room.
She frowned slightly, and when Tuoba Jing pulled him away and planned to close the door, she had already walked out slowly.
"What the hell is this heavenly punishment that you keep putting in your mouth?" Ji Lingxuan walked out and asked doubtfully.
When she was in the temple, she heard the tribesmen keep talking about heavenly punishment. She was already very surprised, but she didn't have a chance to ask clearly. After she came back, she forgot about it. Now when she heard Liaoyuan talk about it again, she
Only then did I find the opportunity to ask.
She didn't know why, but she always felt something was wrong with this thing.
The so-called divine punishment should be the punishment given to you by God, right?
However, God is not always full, so why does he punish mortals for no reason?
That kind of thing doesn't look like something a god would do!
As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Lingxuan had already arrived at the door.
Liao Yuan also felt a little embarrassed. He didn't expect that Ji Lingxuan heard everything. He didn't dare to say it directly, so he could only look at Tuoba Jing inquiringly.
"Don't worry about this matter, I will handle it." Tuoba Jing spoke in a low voice. Although he didn't say many words, there was no so-called promise, but the seriousness in his tone and expression was very convincing.
, which makes people feel very at ease.
Ji Lingxuan glanced at her lightly, "I just want to know what heaven's punishment is. I didn't say I wanted to care about it."
Even if she wants to meddle in other people's business, she has to see if she has the ability before doing so.
If the matter is too difficult and Tuoba Jing wants to solve it by himself, then she can't let him do it!
Tuoba Jing hesitated for a moment, then called Liao Yuan into the room. The three of them sat around the mahogany round table, poured three cups of tea, and then chose a direction to prepare.
Ji Lingxuan had no interest in drinking tea. She just shook the tea cup boredly and watched the green tea leaves swaying continuously.
This is indeed a magical place. Plants can be grown in places with no sunlight...
Maybe the matter was really urgent. As soon as Liaoyuan sat down, he didn't need Ji Lingxuan to urge him. He just explained hurriedly, "If the people in the clan do something blasphemous, then there will be divine punishment. As long as the divine punishment
If it appears on the people of the tribe, they will become weak and have red spots all over their bodies. If they do not receive treatment, they will die soon."
"Uh..." Ji Lingxuan was dumbfounded. Why did she want to complain so much? But she felt that even complaining was powerless!
Listening to what he said, why did she feel that this so-called god was simply a petty evil heretic?
I have never heard of any god being so vicious-hearted?
In the world of Bagua Mirror, she has also watched many TV series about gods.
Once gods interfere with human affairs, they will be punished, right?
"If you have suffered the punishment from heaven, then you must perform a ritual of sacrifice to heaven?" Ji Lingxuan asked after the complaints in her heart were gradually subsided.
Liaoyuan nodded.
Ji Lingxuan blinked her eyes and asked, "Have there been situations like heaven's punishment before? And, as long as the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven is carried out, it will be fine?"
Liao Yuan nodded again, glanced at Ji Lingxuan, but didn't say much.
The corner of Ji Lingxuan's mouth twitched. Could it be that there is really such a thing as divine punishment? It's just that she has no education, so she doesn't know about it?
After a long time, she calmed down and continued to ask, "When was the first punishment from heaven, and how did you know to sacrifice to heaven in this way?"
Even if the ritual of offering sacrifices to heaven is completed, isn't it usually done with wine and meat, and then the whole clan worships together sincerely?
However, killing a young girl and then letting three wretched old men insult and defile her in front of all the tribesmen is really too evil.
Aren’t the images of gods all very decent existences?
Are they offering sacrifices to gods or devils?
Liao Yuan was silent for a while before speaking, "This was twenty years ago. It was the first divine punishment, and most of the clan members were punished. After that, the father of the current elder Shen, who was the last one, was punished.
Elder Shen of my generation had a dream, saying that it was the gods who said that some tribesmen had blasphemed the gods, so they were punished by God."
"Does this kind of person who angers innocent people have the qualifications to become a god?" Ji Lingxuan couldn't help but interrupt. She really wanted to know who the monster was causing trouble here?
Is a person with such a narrow-minded and vicious mind worthy of becoming a god?
Liao Yuan was choked. He glanced at Ji Lingxuan lightly and thought it would be better to ignore it. He continued, "Elder Shen of the previous generation asked the gods to tell him how to take back the punishment from heaven. What the gods said
The method is to follow the steps of the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony and then drink the water from the well behind the temple, then the Heavenly Punishment will no longer exist."
Ji Lingxuan: "..." Sure enough, I still feel very suspicious.
"Ever since that incident twenty years ago, heaven-sacrifice ceremonies have been held every year, and there has never been a situation like heaven's punishment since then. After the old patriarch died this year, and soon after the new patriarch came to the throne, heaven's punishment came
Appeared again..."
Liao Yuan paused and glanced at Tuoba Jing before continuing, "I don't know why, but some people say that they don't want my cousin to become the clan leader, so they either want to kill my cousin, or they want to use my cousin's blood relatives to calm the situation."
The wrath of the gods."
"Cousin Yan'er knew about it, so she was willing to sacrifice herself, drank the holy water, and became a sacrifice in the heaven-sacrifice ceremony."
After Liao Yuan finished speaking, he felt hurt on his face.
Ji Lingxuan frowned. Since it was a voluntary sacrifice, what kind of cry for help did the weapon spirits hear?
Moreover, it is everyone's business who they want to be the leader of the clan. How can the gods be so meddlesome? Do the gods live by the sea, so they have such lenient control?
Or is it that the gods are all bored people?
All in all, after Ji Lingxuan heard this, she felt more and more suspicious. She didn't believe those nonsense about heaven-sacrifice rituals at all.
Her intuition told her that there must be something else going on in this matter.
The scene suddenly fell silent, and the three people all had their own thoughts.
After a long time, Ji Lingxuan continued, "Can I see those people who have been punished by heaven?"
She always felt that this so-called heavenly punishment and heaven-sacrifice ceremony was too suspicious, but it was impossible to know the inside story just by thinking about it.
Therefore, if you want to find out, you must see what is happening to these people who have been punished by heaven.
"What are your plans?" Tuoba Jing frowned, looked at Ji Lingxuan and asked in a low voice.
Ji Lingxuan said, "Maybe our living environment is different, so our thinking patterns are also different? After hearing Liaoyuan's words, I feel that the legends of these gods are really weird, and the so-called punishments from heaven are even more weird.
It makes people feel extremely ridiculous. You just knew that I know some medical skills, so I want to check carefully whether these heavenly punishments really exist or are just some people's conspiracy."
Tuoba Jing and Liao Yuan both looked at Ji Lingxuan with shocked expressions.
Ji Lingxuan continued to speak, "Have you never found it suspicious? Is such an obscene ceremony to worship the heavens the result that the gods want to see? Moreover, who should be chosen as the leader of a small ethnic group, the gods also
Do you want to take care of it? Why has there been no divine punishment in the past, but it appeared inexplicably twenty years ago? And why don’t gods entrust dreams to other people, but to elder Shen of the older generation?"
Ji Lingxuan poured out all her questions like beans, and then looked at Tuoba Jing and Liao Yuan very seriously, "Have you never considered these issues? Have you never thought there was anything suspicious?"
Tuoba Jing and Liao Yuan looked at each other, how could they not have thought about it, but...
"It's just that after every heaven-sacrifice ceremony, the heavenly punishment will indeed disappear!" Liao Yuan asked aloud.
Naturally, everyone didn't want to believe it at first, but after the first heaven-sacrifice ceremony, those who were punished by heaven did indeed recover after drinking the well water.
Therefore, everyone will firmly believe it. (To be continued)
