Chapter 866 We share the blessings and the hardships! Does the witch represent superstition or science?
Feng Jie, Zhou Qingchen and other people involved in the rescue were confused by this scene.
If I remember correctly, we are here to provide disaster relief, and you are the victims, right?
Since ancient times, only disaster relief workers have given porridge to the victims.
The victims will only eat the porridge sent by the rescuers, while being wary of the rescuers robbing the victims of their property, fields and even their children.
How can any disaster victim in the world send anything to the rescuers? ! !
This is both unreasonable and unreasonable!
Feng Jie repeatedly refused and said: "There is not much food left in Dongxiaoli. Zheng Li is quickly taking back the food. He will eat the disaster relief food from the court first, and then eat the food stored in Dongxiaoli. This way, Only then can we persist until autumn..."
However, the victims did not give Feng Jie a chance to finish nagging.
Zheng Miao put the wooden bowl directly into Feng Jie's hand and said seriously: "Don't worry, baby, I will lead the parents to live a good life."
"But children can't go to rescue people on an empty stomach!"
Before Zheng Ming finished speaking, more victims came from behind and ate the soup bowls, dried meat, etc. in their hands. They stuffed them all into Feng Jie's hands and body.
"The life-saving grace of my benefactors will never be forgotten for the rest of my life. I will definitely practice martial arts well and become Shangguan's soldier in the future!"
"Shangguan will go to save people again! , How can you do it if you don’t eat more! Don’t worry about us, we will find food!” Next time you come to Ezheng County, we will treat you well!”
Feng Jie knew very well that these meals were insignificant to him, and might even be just his day's salary.
But for these disaster victims, this is their life-saving food!
Feng Jie wanted to push all the food away, but he did not want to drop the food to the ground, let alone hurt the victims.
Feng Jie felt in a trance that he had returned to the day when he first entered the court and faced Ying Zheng's examination.
This is too difficult!
With the sweat on his forehead, Feng Jie shouted repeatedly: "Enough, enough! We really can't take it anymore!"
"I am a minister! My monthly and annual salary is extremely high! Rich man! Rich man!"
"You don't have to be like this!"
"Come and help me!"
Zed cast his eyes around for help.
But as soon as he saw it, Zhuang Qiu, Zhou Qingchen and others were surrounded by a group of disaster victims regardless of their identity. Everyone's hands were stuffed with rice bowls and soup bowls, and everyone's clothes were stuffed with various food items.
Cai'er even tied more than a dozen pieces of dried meat to hemp ropes and hung them all over Zhou Qingchen's neck!
Looking at Feng Jie and others from a distance, Su Jiao laughed unkindly: "Hahaha~"
"It's a pity that there is no painter accompanying us, otherwise this scene would have to be Draw it.”
“Who would have thought that the colleagues who often come in and out of the palace would look like today!”
Wang Bo also smiled and said: "Fortunately, I knew what happened today, otherwise I would be in a dilemma like all my colleagues now!"
Wang Bo, who was in charge of last night's patrol, and Ying Cheng who followed yesterday Su Jiao, who had been standing outside all night, knew the thoughts of these victims early on, so he deliberately did not set off with the large army, but waited beside Ying Cheng to watch the show.
The current appearance of Feng Jie, Zhou Qingchen and others indeed made them laugh.
But Ying Chengyu saw a hint of disappointment in their eyes.
Yes, the scene of being swarmed and fed by disaster victims is very ungentlemanly and disrespectful.
But so what if it’s unethical?
Since ancient times, the greatest courtesy paid to Master Wang by the head of Guizhou Province was to serve him in a pot of rice.
But now, the courtesy of the Guizhou leaders to Feng Jie and others is far from being explained by eating a pot of pulp, but they wish they could feed them!
Who can watch this without envy!
The corners of Ying Chengyu's mouth turned up slightly, and he suddenly shouted loudly: "Shilang Su! Shilang Wang!"
"All my colleagues have set off, and the two ministers should also embark on the journey!"
Su Jiao:? ? ?
Wang Bo:! ! !
Victims: (o▽)o
Are there any fish that slipped through the net? !
Some victims who were squeezed outside and failed to feed them immediately turned around and rushed towards Su Jiao and Wang Bo with bright eyes, still cheering: "Shangguan, bring some food to eat on the road!"
< br>Su Jiao, known as the most powerful general in the Qin Dynasty, was surrounded by the Guizhou leaders in just a moment, shouting in shock: "Wait a minute! Wait a minute! The soup is spilled!"
"No no. No! The neck is full, the clothes are full, and the lower garments...can't be tied to the legs!"
The voices of Su Jiao and Wang Bo were full of panic and resistance, but they can do it individually. I could hear the excitement and joy in their voices.
Yes.
Who can refuse the heartfelt love and feeding from the leaders of Guizhou?
Su Jiao raised his right arm covered with wild vegetables with difficulty, pointed in the direction of Ying Chenglong and said: "The Lord of Chang'an is over there!"
"Everyone! Everyone! My officer I really can’t take it anymore! I can give these food to Lord Chang’an!” I don’t know if it’s out of the idea of sharing the blessings or the idea of sharing the hardships, Su Jiao who was ‘betrayed’ by Ying Chengyu was also ‘betrayed’. Ying Chenglong.
Under Su Jiao's guidance, more than a hundred disaster victims immediately ran towards Ying Chengyu.
However, Ying Chengxuan was not at all panicked. He smiled and said, "Everyone! I will continue to stay in Zheng County to organize various groups..."
When Ying Chengxuan thought about it, he would not come today. Leaving Zheng County, there is no need to worry about going hungry on the way.
As long as he explains clearly to the victims, they will naturally not stuff food into his clothes.
However, before Ying Chengyu could finish his words, the victims who were running at the front had stopped a foot in front of Ying Chengyu.
Place wooden bowls filled with corn or broth, dried meat, wild vegetables, etc. with both hands respectfully in front of Ying Cheng, then step back and bow, and finally face Ying Cheng Qiao stepped back slowly, bowing one step at a time.
During the whole process, not one victim came within ten feet of Ying Chengyu, and no victim directly hung anything on Ying Chengyu. No victim even made a loud noise. They just drew a picture around Ying Chengyu with various kinds of food. lock up.
If you listen carefully, you can still hear the sincere whispers of the victims as they bowed their heads:
"Please protect Ewa from the Lord of Chang'an from suffering in Huangquan, please protect Ewa from the Lord of Chang'an" I hope you will find a good family in your next life.”
“I ask the Lord of Chang’an to ask the Earth Dragon on your behalf, how can we make sacrifices to please the Earth Dragon, and what can we do to keep the Earth Dragon away from us. The E family has turned around.”
“Thank you, Lord Chang’an, for reminding Xiaguan to make preparations early. After a few years of rest and recuperation in Zheng County, Xiaguan will lead the whole county to pay homage to Lord Chang’an!”
Everyone's voice was very low. It was obvious that they had no intention of letting Ying Chengyu hear them, but were just speaking their own thoughts.
Everyone’s voice was firm and sincere, indicating that they were not just talking.
Looking at the food piled higher and higher around him, and listening to the whispers of the victims, Ying Chengyu was a bit dumbfounded: "Why is it different when you come here?"
" People who know it understand that this is the victims who are grateful to me, but those who don’t know think that I am a statue of a god, and the victims are worshiping me!” The food that was put down was clearly a circle of inexpensive but sincere sacrifices.
And Ying Chengyu, who was surrounded by sacrifices, was the immortal god who was being sacrificed!
As for the Bafu and Guafu standing behind Ying Chengyu, they became the ministers and gods who accompanied the sacrifice.
The hexagram master said softly: "In their hearts, what is the difference between the family master and the god statue?"
Ying Chengyu laughed dumbly: "What is the difference? You should say what is the same!" "
The Guafu cast his eyes on the rising pile of food and said in a slow voice: "I think the difference is that the head of the family will take the initiative to tell them early when a natural disaster will occur, and then help them do what they need to do. Without preparation, he would even go to the disaster-stricken place personally to save the lives of them and their families, regardless of the risk. ”
"But the immortals and gods will only suddenly bring disasters from above, let alone give them any practical help."
"If you have to make a choice between the immortals and the head of the family, I think all the elders in Zheng County They will all choose to sacrifice to the family head instead of to the immortal gods!"
Ying Chengyu smiled and wanted to refute the Gua Fu's words.
I am just a human being. I don’t have any abnormal parts on my body, and I am also the vanguard of Da Qin’s anti-superstition ideology!
It is outrageous enough that people in the world regard me as a great witch. How could the victims treat me as a god!
But when Ying Chengyu saw the victims' eyes that were more sincere than when they were offering sacrifices to immortals, Ying Chengyu could not express his rebuttal!
After a long while, Ying Chengyu suddenly asked quietly: "What do you think those great witches in the past were thinking about?"
During the Yin and Shang Dynasties, all major events required the use of witches. Tortoise shell performs divination.
However, later generations of scholars have discovered that as long as the tortoise shell is polished in a specific way, specific cracks can be baked and specific results can be deduced.
In other words, the results of tortoise shell divination have nothing to do with the gods, but directly depend on the hands of the shaman!
Can’t those witches who have been doing divination all their lives summarize the corresponding rules?
In the past, Taizhu Yingqing of the Qin Dynasty used phosphine to pretend to be a will-o'-the-wisp, and lied that Lao Ai's heirs were recognized by King Zhuang Xiang, so as to help Lao Ai seize power and usurp the throne.
It can be seen that Ying Qing has long known that the so-called ancestors' manifestations are just a joke. Ying Qing can even use the laws of nature to accurately manipulate the ancestors' manifestations to achieve his goals!
Even Ying Qing can break superstition and make use of nature. Ying Chengyu does not believe that all the great witches who are famous for their wisdom cannot do this, nor does he believe that all the divination of the great witches in ancient times is based on Try your luck.
Perhaps, the first group of people in China to get rid of superstition are the same people who preside over superstition!
But they did not leave behind the idea of scientific understanding of the world to future generations, but only left behind legends.
Why are they like this?
The fortune teller shook his head and said helplessly: "Witches are all people who know ghosts and gods and know the world. How can I know what such a great person is thinking!"
8 The husband looked at Ying Chengxuan with round eyes and said: "The master of the house is the great witch. The master of the house should be the one who best understands the thoughts of the ancient great witch!"
"If the master of the house really doesn't understand, how about asking the master of the house to ask Hou Tu brought an ancient wizard to the world and asked? ”
Listening to the answers from the eight masters and the hexagram masters, Ying Chengyu laughed dumbly.
But then, Ying Chengyu slowly stopped smiling, looked at the victims who were worshiping devoutly with complex eyes, and said slowly:
"Yes."
“I am the great witch!”
