Chapter 195 Rumors

“Oh, I wonder what big things happened in Cangzhou?”

Hearing 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 people. They often fought and fought. It would not be surprising if they were destroyed by others.

 Unexpectedly, when the village was destroyed, the second son of the Zheng family in Fucheng was actually 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 inheritance.

His heritage is ranked high in the entire state capital, and he can be regarded as one of the most powerful families in Cangzhou.

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. "

 Is this really the work of a big family?

Before the old doctor had time to speak, Wei Shanhai had already explained.

 When he heard about living sacrifices, Lu Qing had no reaction.

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 Realm many years ago.

“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 a top sect who goes out to practice may die if he is not careful, let alone a young master from an aristocratic family.

“Senior Wei, is the big event you mentioned related to the Zheng family?” Lu Qing continued to ask.

 “Not bad.” Wei Shanhai nodded.

“Living human sacrifice is an extremely cruel burial method.”

 It seems that the news that Yuanyang Village is the stronghold of Qishalou has not spread.

 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.

Lu Qing had rarely seen his master lose his temper, so he couldn't help but ask.

 “Master, what is a living sacrifice?”

 After his death, the ancestor of the Zheng family went crazy and killed all the guards of the Second Young Master Zheng.

 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?"

  Wei Shanhai explained.

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 son of Zheng, so that they could be buried with her grandson. "

 He was just a little surprised at how ruthless the ancestor of the Zheng family was.

I don’t know whether someone concealed the news, or whether the guests who fled did not spread the word.

　　Even if a few guards who were not well protected were killed, they even spared their wives and children.

"This method usually involves giving the victim a life-threatening drug, and then subjecting him to various capital punishments. Finally, when he has his last breath, he is sealed with a clay sculpture, made into a clay figurine, and buried together with the tomb owner. .

Because of the life-threatening medicine taken, 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 great fear, I felt the passage of my life bit by bit, and finally died slowly in the 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 heaven and earth, so it had already been abolished and banned by an order from 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 matter has rarely happened in the world.

Even if someone practices this method again, they would only dare to do it secretly and would 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 disapproval of the world?” asked the old doctor.

"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.

“However, there are rumors from the outside world 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 wanted to train him to become the head of the Zheng family.

However, 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 calculation, her end was approaching, and she had only a few years left to live.

It is said that the second son of Zheng who died this time was the posthumous son of the eldest son of the Zheng family.

Faced with 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 abolition 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.

 Until there is conclusive evidence, even the city lord's palace cannot do anything to the Zheng family.

 But the strange thing is that the Zheng family knew that these rumors were very detrimental to themselves, but they did not stop the rumors and allowed them to spread. It is really puzzling.

And 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 don’t know 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 sins in vain.”

 The old doctor was relieved when he heard that things might turn around.

He has always been kind-hearted. If the ancestor of the Zheng family really wanted to perform 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 guards and were captured, there were children under the age of 10. It would be too cruel if even children suffered such capital punishment." Wei Shanhai also sighed. .

Hearing this, the old doctor’s face became serious again.

On the other hand, Lu Qing, when he 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 external affairs.

Especially after experiencing the near-genocide two years ago and knowing that the world was about to change drastically, he was 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.

Lu Qing returned home, then his face became calm and he began to think silently.
