Before and after human society transitioned from primitive society to slave society, many primitive habits were inherited, including the use of human beings as sacrifices to the gods. The people used as human sacrifices were usually prisoners of war or slaves. During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, human sacrifices were very common, and a large number of traces of human sacrifices have been found in archaeology. During the Tubo period in the Western Regions, human sacrifice was also used in major oath-taking activities. Zuo Shaoyang has never seen it, and neither have many people in the audience. After all, it is very rare for human sacrifice to be used in major alliances. Everyone looked at it with their necks raised. The officials sitting in the back even stood up and said something. He muttered, with a look of unbearability on his face, but his eyes were widened, for fear of missing one of the scenes. Zuo Shaoyang grabbed the golden needle spray can in his hand, hesitating to take it. Don't take action. This place is more than ten steps away from the altar. If it were normal, after five years of hard training, he would be sure to hit the acupuncture point he wants to shoot. However, it is raining and windy now. Under such complicated circumstances, He wasn't sure he could hit the vagus nerve in the old king's neck. Shooting other acupoints cannot cause death immediately. What's even more troublesome is that there is only one gold needle in the spray can! And there are two targets he wants to shoot! Before he could make up his mind, the rain suddenly intensified, accompanied by strong winds, whining, and thunder and lightning exploded one after another overhead! Zuo Shaoyang looked up at the sky and prayed in his heart. This suddenly intensified violent storm caught the wizard, the old king, and the Tubo envoy by surprise. They looked at the wizard, who held up a stick and continued to recite the incantation. So, the old king and the Tubo envoy grabbed the girl's arms one by one, lifted her up and let her lie mostly on the altar table. The two people stood on both sides, slowly raising the scimitars in their hands to chop off the girl's head! Zuo Shaoyang could only point the Jingzhi in his hand at the old king! At this moment, a series of thunder exploded, so quietly that the old king and the Tubo envoys raised their scimitars and looked up at the dark sky. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? A dazzling bolt of lightning passed through the dark rain curtain and landed on the top of the flagpole that stretched high into the sky! Chichi! The electric light that lit up on the top of the flagpole illuminated everyone's pale faces. Like a swift and fierce snake, it flew from the top to the bottom, like the fangs of the god of death, swallowing up the old king and the Tubo envoy with a loud bang. The ministers and the imperial master immediately became stiff, and black smoke was sizzling all over their bodies. Everyone could smell the smell of burning meat! The three stiff bodies suddenly fell to the ground, and the black smoke was quickly extinguished in the rain. The three brightly dressed people turned into three charred charcoal! "The eldest prince was so surprised." He quickly glanced at Zuo Shaoyang from the corner of his eyes, full of awe and gratitude, but he screamed heartbreakingly: "Father, one!" ¡± He knocked over the table in front of him, smashed the fruit and water bowl on the floor, staggered towards the altar, and fell to the muddy ground with a plop. He got up in embarrassment, shouting for his father, "One level after another" Climb up the steps to the altar! This action of the eldest prince brought everyone back to their senses. The woman on the altar table, because her whole body was placed on the altar table, and the four wooden legs under the altar table were protected from the rain by the brocade covering the altar table, so they were dry. So there was no electricity, and nothing happened to the woman. She had her eyes closed just now, and she didn't even see the tragic scene of the three people who wanted to kill him being struck to death by lightning. Until there was no knife falling on her neck, there were cries all around. Then she opened her eyes and turned around to look, and saw the three burnt corpses. She was so frightened that she couldn't help but scream. An imperceptible smile appeared on Zuo Shaoyang's lips. "This is his masterpiece." , very simple, he asked the blacksmith to make a very thin wire "to make a lightning rod, but" the lightning rod was not introduced into the ground, but was transmitted to the sacrificial table. In this way, everyone at the sacrificial table will not escape death! Thunder and lightning can be guided by iron wire, which is something that only modern humans have mastered. In the Tang Dynasty and Tubo era, no one knew this knowledge. Therefore, even if someone discovered the iron wire on the flagpole, they would never have imagined that it was this iron wire that guided the thunder and lightning to kill the old king, the Tibetan envoy and Domi's national counselor. Everyone watched helplessly as the three of them were struck to death by lightning. Naturally, no one thought that this was actually a carefully arranged murder. (ps: In "Detective Detective Di Renjie", the rebel party actually came up with an idea to use iron wire to guide lightning to the iron helmet on Wu Zetian's head, and wanted to kill her with lightning. Of course, Di Renjie saw through it. The rebel party and Di Renjie It must have traveled through the past, because this requires the use of electrical knowledge that modern people may know. Human beings knew that lightning was a discharge phenomenon that could be conducted through conductors such as metal and wet wires. It was a thousand years after the Tang Dynasty. Franklin's famous kite experiment was also impossible for the people of the Tang Dynasty.Electrical knowledge that metals can conduct electricity. Because there was no electricity at that time, and there were no lightning rods. ) The eldest prince showed his ability as a leader at this time. After confirming that all three people were dead, he immediately used his identity as the crown prince to issue a series of instructions. And all the ministers naturally supported him. No prince had ever wanted to compete with him for the throne before. On the same day, Prince Nanglisi inherited the throne in front of his father's soul and accepted the worship of all the ministers. Then, he sent an envoy to report to Tubo that the envoy was killed by lightning during the sacrifice, and used this as an excuse to stop the alliance with Tubo. Zuo Shaoyang was regarded as an honored guest by the new king. Zuo Shaoyang then introduced Dusong, the chief prince of the Misang tribe, to the new king. The new king did not break his promise and immediately signed an alliance with Dusong. According to Zuo Shaoyang's suggestion, human sacrifice was dispensed with. Only cattle and sheep were used to perform the sacrificial oath. Dusong was very happy and thanked Zuo Shaoyang profusely. According to the agreement, he left the craftsman and the beauty behind, along with his entourage. After bidding farewell to Zuo Shaoyang and the others, he returned to Misang. Zuo Shaoyang also persuaded the new king to form an alliance with small countries such as Bogan and Bowo to jointly deal with Tubo. And volunteered to act as a lobbyist. This was naturally in line with the new king's wishes, and he immediately agreed and sent envoys to follow Zuo Shaoyang to these small countries to discuss alliances. Before leaving, the new king not only returned the ten beautiful singers that Zuo Shaoyang had given to the old king, but also the jewelry worth two thousand taels of silver to Zuo Shaoyang. He also prepared a box of gold and silver jewelry for Zuo Shaoyang. Zuo Shaoyang. Duomi is older than Mi Sang, and the gifts he gives are much heavier. Zuo Shaoyang asked the new king whether he could exchange the jewelry for cattle and sheep. Because the people in his Gangrenbuche mandala were very poor. Naturally, the new king agreed generously and exchanged the gifts for Zuo Shaoyang into 500 cows, 500 horses and 1,000 sheep. He also sent 300 elite soldiers dressed as cattle herders to help Zuo Shaoyang and the others. Drive the cattle and sheep to Gangrenbuche and serve as a guard on the road. Zuo Shaoyang was very happy, and left Duomi with his cattle and sheep to go to Boyi Bowo, Bo Gan and other small countries close to Tubo. Under Tubo's strategy of "distance and close attack", even a country as powerful as Supi had been conquered by Tubo. In this case, they were anxious about when Tibet would attack them. Duomi proposed forming an alliance to jointly deal with Tubo. As long as any of the allied countries was attacked by Tubo, other countries were obliged to send troops to help fight. This is naturally what they want. Immediately agreed to form an alliance. Duomi's envoys made a covenant with them and did not use human sacrifices at Zuo Shaoyang's suggestion. These small countries were naturally very grateful to Zuo Shaoyang for his help and sent Zuo Shaoyang some horses, cattle, sheep, and some male and female slaves. . In the golden autumn of a month, they finally arrived at the border of Tubo. The Tubo checkpoint really imposed heavy taxes, especially for cattle and sheep crossing the border. Zuo Shaoyang was very angry and showed off his elephant. I didn¡¯t expect that it would be okay if he didn¡¯t tell me about the identity of the Dharma King Gangrenbuche. But after he told me, they had to double the transit tax. The reason was that King Shang Shung treated their Tibetan princess badly, so anyone related to the Shang Shung royal family. They had to impose heavy taxes. Zuo Shaoyang was so angry that his nose was crooked, and he didn't bother to argue with them. After discussing with Dalongxin and others, they decided to take a detour to Yangtong and go back to Xiangxiong anyway. The grass was green and there was no need to worry about the cattle and sheep having nothing to eat. Moreover, there were not many cattle and sheep, and there were hundreds of people guarding them. The sheep and sheep were allied with Xiang Xiong. They passed smoothly, and King Yangtong even entertained Zuo Shaoyang, the powerful Dharma king, and his entourage. By the time they entered the realm of Zhangxiong, it was already midwinter all the way from Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty! Half a year has passed since we arrived at Xiangxiong! Of course, the cattle and sheep walked slowly on the road, which delayed a lot of time. During these six months, Zuo Shaoyang studied Tibetan with Dalong Xin day and night. Tibetan at that time was relatively simple. So after half a year, he was able to speak Tibetan in daily life. Apart from his weird accent, fortunately, his decoration was weird and he was a Dharma king, so people didn¡¯t dare to laugh at him when he came to Xiangxiong. The capital of Xiongguo is Qionglong Yincheng. As Dalong Xin said, King Xiangxiong respected the Dharma King Gangrenbuche very much. After receiving the news, he sent envoys ten miles out of the city to welcome him and hosted a banquet in the palace to entertain Zuo Shaoyang and his party. The Xiangxiong Kingdom is much larger than Duomi and others, and the palace is naturally much more impressive. During the banquet, Zuo Shaoyang secretly inquired about King Xiangxiong's attitude towards Tubo, and found out that King Xiangxiong was arrogant and contemptuous of Tubo. This made Zuo Shaoyang even more anxious, so he reminded him to pay attention to Tubo's ambitions. However, King Xiangxiong laughed and said that even though Zuo Shaoyang was practicing magic in Gangrenbuche, Xiangxiong would provide him with a very safe environment. Zuo Shaoyang had no choice but to say goodbye and leave Qionglong City, the capital of Xiangxiong.I used it to buy food, plus the gold, silver and jewelry given by several countries on the way. I spent all of it, bought thousands of sheepskin coats, and hundreds of tents, and took them back to the mandala. After leaving Qionglong Yincheng and walking forward for less than a mile, Zuo Shaoyang suddenly heard someone shouting vaguely on the roadside: "Zuo Shaoyang! Master"! " The voices turned out to be Miao Peilan and Bai Zhihan! Zuo Shaoyang smiled bitterly, he must be homesick too much. No wonder, although there were more than a hundred female slaves around him along the way, he thought about Fenghua Xueyue's words, There was no obstacle, but he didn't have that thought. He thought about the beautiful wives and concubines in his home, and now he suddenly heard their voices thousands of miles away in the Western Region, and he must have hallucinated. But the voice was actually. It kept ringing, over and over again, from far to near! In the cold winter, Zuo Shaoyang was sitting in a warm carriage, and he raised the curtains and looked out suspiciously. He was really surprised and happy when he saw it. I saw two horses on the roadside, and two women were sitting on them. One was graceful and graceful, the other had dark skin and a strong figure. It was Bai Zhihan and Miao Peilan! Zuo Shaoyang blinked hard. Looking closer, it turned out to be the two of them! Zuo Shaoyang was so excited that he raised the curtains of the car with a clatter, and before he could tell the car to stop, he jumped out of the carriage: "Zhi'er! Lan'er! Why are you here? "Running over. The two girls were also ecstatic. They got off their horses and came up to meet them. Bai Zhihan deliberately delayed half a step, wanting to give Miao Peilan the first hug. Unexpectedly, Miao Peilan also had the same idea and stopped. As a result, the two Everyone stood there stupidly, but Zuo Shaoyang rushed over first, pulled the two girls into his arms, and hugged him tightly. Then the two girls also hugged Zuo Shaoyang, and before they could say anything, they were already there. Tears streamed down his face. This was the first time Zuo Shaoyang saw Bai Zhihan cry, and she cried like pear blossoms with rain. He was originally sad and happy, but when he saw them like this, he smiled: "Zhi'er, I always thought you were I don¡¯t know how to cry. I never thought you would still cry. " Bai Zhihan burst into laughter with a cry, and hit him lightly, wiping the tears on his cheek. The escort beside Zuo Shaoyang's carriage saw Zuo Shaoyang jump out of the car and hurriedly shouted The shouts ordered the motorcade to stop. Dalongxin and others were about to gather around them, but when they saw Zuo Shaoyang hugging two women, they all moved away to avoid the embarrassment of Zuo Shaoyang's embrace. The second girl asked: "Why are you here? Didn¡¯t I not let you come to me? It's too dangerous. You two women don't speak the same language. " Miao Peilan didn't talk much in front of outsiders, but she kept chattering like a little sparrow beside her lover: "Sister Xiao rushed to Hezhou to tell us that according to what Xiao Du Ming said, some monks kidnapped you. The emperor already knew what he said about wanting you to go to the Western Regions to be the king of Dharma. He ordered that the troops along the way be sent 800 miles away to set up checkpoints. So we rushed to the border with Sister Xiao. Originally, Qiaoer and the others were also coming together. But Sister Xiao said that they didn't know martial arts and couldn't stand driving all night on the road, so they took care of their elders and children at home, so they didn't come. Zuo Shaoyang said with a smile: "Yes, but you ran in the wrong direction and went to the north to intercept me, but we went from the south." " ¡¾Chapter 6o2 Reunion at the End of the World¡¿a!!
