Chapter 195 Rumors
“Oh, I wonder what kind of big event has happened in our Cangzhou?”
When Lu Qing heard that Wei Shanhai said it was about Cangzhou, Lu Qing's mind moved slightly and he asked quietly.
“Two days ago, something happened in the state capital.
There was a brothel in Goulan Village, which was massacred for unknown reasons.
It was not a big deal in the first place. These small forces that were mixed in the gray fringe were easy to offend. They often fought back and forth, so it was not surprising that they were destroyed.
Unexpectedly, when the village was destroyed, the second son of the Zheng family in Fucheng was also there, and was conveniently killed.
This time, it really stirred up a hornet's nest. "
"Why is the Zheng family in this city so powerful?" The old doctor was a little curious.
“The Zheng family in Fucheng is an old family with strong strength and long-standing heritage.
Its heritage is ranked high in the entire state capital, and it can be regarded as one of the most powerful families in Cangzhou.
Although the ancestor of his clan is a female, he has advanced cultivation and has been a powerful warrior at the peak of the Xiantian Primary Realm many years ago.
Although he was seriously injured due to some things later and it was difficult to break through the realm, he is still one of the most powerful innate realms in Fucheng. "
Wei Shanhai explained.
"Senior Wei, the big thing you mentioned is related to the Zheng family?" Lu Qing continued to ask.
It seems that the news that Yuanyang Village is the stronghold of Qishalou has not spread.
I just don’t know if someone concealed the news, or if the guests who fled didn’t spread the word.
"Not bad." Wei Shanhai nodded.
“Originally, the death of the second young master of the Zheng family was not a big deal.
In today's world, even a disciple of the top sect may die if he is not careful when he goes out to practice, let alone a young master from a noble family.
But it happened that this Second Young Master Zheng was the grandson of the ancestor of the Zheng family, and he was extremely favored by her.
After his death, the ancestor of the Zheng family went crazy and killed all the guards of the Second Young Master Zheng.
They also detained all their wives and children and threatened to sacrifice them all as human beings on the day of the burial of the Second Young Master Zheng, so that they could be buried with her grandson. "
When he heard about the living sacrifice, Lu Qing had no reaction.
He was just a little surprised at how ruthless the ancestor of the Zheng family was.
Even if he killed a few poorly protected guards, he even spared his wife, children and clan members.
Is this really the work of a big family?
But when the old doctor heard the words "living sacrifice", he turned pale and looked shocked: "Living sacrifice? How can the ancestor of the Zheng family be so cruel?"
"Master, what is a living sacrifice?"
Lu Qing had rarely seen his master lose his composure, so he couldn't help but ask.
"Living human sacrifice is an extremely cruel burial method."
Before the old doctor had time to speak, Wei Shanhai had already explained.
"This method usually involves giving the victim a life-threatening drug, and then tortures him with various executions. Finally, when he still breathes his last breath, he is sealed with a clay sculpture, made into a clay figurine, and buried together with the tomb owner. .
Because they take the life-threatening medicine, even if they turn into clay figurines, the people inside will still not die immediately, and they will always have a breath hanging in their chests.
Then, inside the clay figurines, in the dark tomb, with incomparable fear, he felt the passing of his life bit by bit, and finally died slowly in endless resentment. "
Lu Qing shuddered a little.
I didn't expect that this method of human sacrifice would be so cruel. No wonder Master was so moved.
The old doctor's face was ugly: "I remember that this method was too cruel and harmful to the peace of the world, so it had already been abolished and banned by the royal capital."
Wei Shanhai nodded: "Not only the royal capital, but also the Holy Mountain has issued an order that no human sacrifices can be performed anymore. Therefore, this rarely happens in the world.
Even if someone tried this method again, they would only dare to do it secretly and not dare to make it public at all. "
"Then why does the ancestor of the Zheng family dare to do such a cruel and unethical method in spite of the world's disapproval?" the old doctor asked.
"Yes, isn't she afraid that the Holy Mountain will send people to question her?" Lu Qing also said.
"I don't know that." Wei Shanhai shook his head.
“But there are rumors outside that the ancestor of the Zheng family has gone crazy.
She gave birth to two sons in her early years. The eldest son was extremely talented in martial arts and was one of the most famous young talents in Cangzhou at that time.
The ancestor of the Zheng family loved him very much and originally wanted to train him to become the head of the Zheng family.
But he never thought that the eldest son of the Zheng family would later offend a Xiantian realm warrior who was passing through Cangzhou and was killed on the spot.
When the ancestor of the Zheng family learned about this, he fought with the foreign innate realm to avenge his son.
But she was also seriously injured and her lifespan was greatly reduced. After all, her end was approaching and she had only a few years left to live.
It is said that the second young master Zheng who died this time was the posthumous son of the eldest son of the Zheng family.
Under such a series of blows, and his own end is approaching, the ancestor of the Zheng family may have lost his mind, so he will ignore it and not take the prohibition of the Holy Mountain to heart. "
"But even so, she should not practice the method of human sacrifice. This method is too cruel. According to rumors, the people who were tortured by this method will not let go of their resentment, and their three souls and seven souls will be trapped in the clay figurines, unable to enter. Reincarnation and no reincarnation are too harmful to the world." The old doctor still looked unhappy.
"Senior Wei, since the royal capital has explicitly banned the repeal of this law, is there no one in the state capital to stop it?" Lu Qing asked.
"The fact that the Zheng family is going to perform a human sacrifice is now just a rumor and has not been confirmed. The Zheng family has also flatly denied this matter.
Without conclusive evidence, even the City Lord's Mansion can't do anything to the Zheng family.
But the strange thing is that, knowing that these rumors are very detrimental to themselves, the Zheng family does not stop the rumors and allows them to spread. It is really puzzling.
Moreover, the Zheng family did imprison the wives and children of the guards.
Because of this, many people feel that the rumors may not be groundless.
In short, the entire state capital is a little nervous now.
I wonder if the ancestor of the Zheng family really went crazy in the end and did that cruel and inhumane thing on the day of her grandson's burial. "
"I hope this ancestor of the Zheng family can have mercy and don't commit sin in vain."
When the old doctor heard that things might turn around, he felt relieved.
He has always been kind-hearted. If the ancestor of the Zheng family really wanted to hold a human sacrifice in the end, he might not be able to help but stop it.
"I hope so. I heard that among the clan members who died as bodyguards and were captured, there were children under the age of 18. It would be too cruel if even children suffered such capital punishment." Wei Shanhai also sighed. .
When the old doctor heard this, his expression became serious again.
On the other hand, when Lu Qing heard Wei Shanhai's previous words, his heart suddenly moved and he guessed something.
However, his face still showed nothing, and he continued to chat with the two old people.
Next, Wei Shanhai shared some recent events in the world.
Although the Wei family lives in a corner, they have always paid attention to the outside world.
Especially after experiencing the near-genocide two years ago and knowing that the world was about to change drastically, he became even more sensitive to outside movements.
Lu Qing also obtained a lot of news about the world.
After Wei Shanhai had finished chatting, he returned to the other courtyard.
When Lu Qing returned home, his face became calm and he began to think silently.
