The helplessness and anger that Uncle Hengting had just felt suddenly disappeared!
He looked at the ghost who had just scolded him and asked, "From the ghost's point of view, how should we handle the matter?"
The ghost bowed to him and said, "Uncle Ghost should release that Wu Cheng and apologize to the wine-sacrifice Wu Tao!"
"What? This is absolutely impossible. Wu Tao is from the lineage of the previous ghost uncle of Hengting, and he is still connected with the previous crime god..."
Before he finished speaking, his voice became quieter and quieter.
Others only thought that he, Gui Bo Heng Ting Gui Bo, was interested in the treasures of Master Wu Cheng and wanted to steal them.
What a joke!
As the mountain god of Hengting and the ghost uncle of Hengxia City, does he, the ghost uncle of Hengting, want any treasures? How can he appreciate other people's things?
In fact, it wasn't because of that treasure that it was related to the Hengting Ghost Uncle who took office.
That sinful god was not executed at first. He was just imprisoned!
This makes Hengting Ghost Uncle always feel like he has a sharp edge on his back. As long as the God of Sin does not die, he will never truly feel at ease for a day!
Or, the God of Sin cannot die for a while, and the God of Sin cannot have any communication with the outside world.
In short, as long as the treasure is in the hands of the Wuli family and not in the hands of anyone else, he will not feel at ease!
The ghost didn't say much, nor did he persuade me.
However, Gui Bo Hengting's Gui Bo's voice became smaller and smaller.
He understands everything, no need for others to tell him, now it just depends on whether he can think clearly or not?
For a long time, the ghost uncle of Hengting weighed for a long time, and then said hesitantly, "Then let Wu Cheng go. In addition, send someone to see Wu Tao in person to apologize."
"Uncle Gui is wise...it's not that easy to serve as a sacrificial wine for the Hou Mansion. If one day, Wu Tao can no longer stay in the Hou Mansion, how Uncle Gui wants to manipulate him is just a matter of words!" Gui Xiang said
Comforting.
"I hope so!" Hengting Ghost Boy said with waning interest.
Suddenly he became furious, drew out the long sword from his waist, and chopped off the head of a maid kneeling next to him with one strike.
The beautiful maid's head fell to the ground and rolled a few times on the ground. She was still shouting "Uncle Ghost, have mercy on me, Uncle Ghost, have mercy on me..."
However, the Hengting ghost uncle went up and crushed his head to pieces with one kick. Only then did he feel that the anger in his heart was vented a little bit.
"Come here, send these people to hell!"
With an order, the wolf-like guards rushed in, indiscriminately and regardless of their pleas, they captured all the maids and their entourage and escorted them to the ghost prison.
…
Tao Xiaowu was invited by the Hou Mansion to serve as a sacrificial wine, and of course he was not invited to enjoy it.
Jijiu is mainly in charge of public and private sacrifices in the kingdom!
The only major national affairs are sacrifice and military affairs.
Sacrifice is even ranked before war, which shows the importance of sacrifice to the people!
Not to mention, this is still a world with ghosts and gods, so sacrifices are even more important.
When the Hou Mansion was first built, the most important thing was to establish a family temple and a community.
In the ancient system, there were seven ancestral temples for the emperor, five for the princes, three for the officials, two for the elite, one for the officials and teachers, and the common people had no temple to offer sacrifices to.
This is the temple system stipulated in the etiquette and law.
Among the seven temples of the Son of Heaven, the temple in the middle worships the Emperor of Heaven.
Yangfuhou belongs to the princes and has five temples according to the ritual system.
But worshiping the Emperor of Heaven is not allowed!
According to the etiquette system, only the Son of Heaven is qualified to offer sacrifices to the Emperor of Heaven.
There is no other, the Son of Heaven, the son of the Emperor of Heaven.
In ancient times, there was the so-called saying "Bin Yu Di".
In ancient times, emperor referred to the emperor of heaven, not the emperor. The emperor was a title only used during the time of Qin Shihuang.
After the death of the ancient emperor, he returned to God as a guest. In other words, he returned to the embrace of the Emperor of Heaven!
Because the emperor is the descendant of the emperor of heaven!
Therefore, the princes are absolutely not qualified to offer sacrifices to the Emperor of Heaven. If they do, they are plotting to rebel!
Therefore, the temple in the center of the princes is to worship the ancestors.
At this time, Tao Xiaowu learned that the Liang family of Yangfuhou was descended from the ancient fire god Wu Gong, and they were from the same ancestor as the Xiwang family back then.
But this is not too strange. In the land of Middle-earth, almost any ordinary people can trace their ancestors back to the ancient gods.
And those ancient gods are usually descendants of the Emperor of Heaven!
Therefore, the land of Middle Earth is called the land of ancestors and gods.
Everyone can be called a divine being!
This land of Hengjun belonged to the Xi Kingdom in those days, and there were many nobles of the Xi Kingdom in those days. It is normal for the descendants of the royal family to breed and live here!
Of course, Tao Xiaowu can only think about such disrespectful thoughts by himself.
In fact, saying so much has little to do with Tao Xiaowu.
Tao Xiaowu's sacrificial wine is nominally in charge of all sacrificial affairs in the princely state.
However, according to the system, the five princes' temples were established by Taichang officials sent by the imperial court to conduct sacrifices.
These were beyond Tao Xiaowu's control and were an important means for the imperial court to suppress local princes.
What Tao Xiaowu could preside over was the private temple of the Marquis Yangfu family.
There are five temples for the princes, with the ancestor in the middle, Zhao on the left and Mu on the right.
In total, they only worshiped five ancestors!
Even for the emperor's sacrifice, there are only seven places, and the emphasis is on kinship and friendship.
Only the six most important emperors can enter the ancestral temple to offer sacrifices, and the extra emperors’ spiritual tablets can only be moved out...
Even the emperor is like this, and the princes are even more like this!
Therefore, no matter the Tian family or the nobles, they all have private temples at home to worship their ancestors who cannot enter the Sheji ancestral temple.
One is equivalent to national sacrifice, and the other is equivalent to family sacrifice.
The status of the two is worlds apart.
However, for the princes, private temples were equally important.
What Tao Xiaowu wants to host is mainly the sacrifice in this private temple!
Of course, Tao Xiaowu also needed to do the princes' sacrifices to local ghosts and gods.
The Son of Heaven offered sacrifices to the Emperor of Heaven, as well as to the gods, earth, humans and ghosts in the world, and all the ghosts and gods recorded in the sacrificial rituals.
And the princes worshiped the domestic ghosts and gods...
These are very important etiquette and are also the scope of Tao Xiaowu's responsibilities.
Tao Xiaowu suddenly discovered that there was the Hengting ghost uncle in the area where he was offering sacrifices, and his expression suddenly became strange.
"Hey, Hengting Ghost Uncle, you have fallen into my hands now, right? The so-called county magistrate is better off taking charge now.
It’s also said that the King of Hell is easy to deal with, but now that you have offended me, a little devil, don’t blame me for finding an opportunity to give you eye drops!”
Although he thought so, Tao Xiaowu was not stupid enough to take action now.
After all, his position in the Hou Mansion is not that secure now.
Wait until I have completely gained the trust of Marquis Yang Fu, and then I will deal with this Hengting ghost uncle!
After making up his mind, he became increasingly clear that the first thing he had to do was how to gain the trust and respect of Marquis Yang Fu.
But, how to do it?
First, we can only do the work that needs to be done well, and then strengthen the relationship with Chen Dao, the leader of the Hou family...
