"This white snake is all white, and it looks ominous at first sight!"
Young Duan's face was full of seriousness and he continued to speak: "There is a severe drought in Langya County this year because of the unknown white snake, which is evil to God. Therefore, we must capture and kill it to report to God!"
"White Snake is unknown?" Qin Tian's expression changed slightly.
Qin values water virtue, so from the time of the First Emperor onwards, all the people in the world are black and no one is white.
However, this does not mean that everyone hates white. On the contrary, white has a very high status, even above black.
Because white is the color of the sun!
Since the Yin and Shang Dynasties, pure white has represented holiness and heaven.
Even if he is the First Emperor, when he wants to offer sacrifices to heaven, he must wear white clothes, a white jade suit, a white crown, and two white sheep in front to clear the way.
If there are white animals, they are considered auspicious, among which the white deer, white tiger, white crane and white turtle are the most respected.
The white snake, although slightly inferior to the deer, tiger, crane and turtle, is still an auspicious sign.
Why did it become unknown when we arrived in Langya?
"What's the explanation for this?" Qin Tian asked calmly.
"I don't know either." Young Duan shook his head, "However, the person who said this was Ting Weisi. He said a few days ago that white birds and beasts are auspicious things, which is a big mistake."
"On the contrary, this is the righteousness of the beasts, and it is because God is not happy. The reason why there is a severe drought in Langya is precisely because our people in Langya indulge these disgusting things and run rampant, so God punishes them."
"The common people are easy to bully..." Qin Tian laughed dumbly, feeling slightly emotional at the same time.
He is a Qi Refiner. Although the Qi Refiner is still in the human world, he does not follow the etiquette and laws of the world, nor does he care about ghosts and gods. He only respects heaven and earth.
Whether the white snake is auspicious or an ominous disgusting thing is just a folk rumor.
In the view of Qi Refiners, the reason why auspicious objects are precious is because they are exotic beasts.
There is a way in heaven and earth, and everything is in the way. Tigers are supposed to have colorful fur, and this is true for thousands of tigers in the world. And if a tiger suddenly turns completely white, this is unusual.
And in the final analysis, Qi Refiners are no different?
Billions of living beings in the world are all subject to birth, old age, illness and death, and remain ignorant throughout their lives. Only Qi practitioners can live as long as heaven and earth, and can have a glimpse of the great road of heaven and earth.
Strange people and strange beasts complement each other.
As for the little white snake just now, Qin Tian could also see that it was a strange beast and was not born white.
As a person of later generations, Qin Tian certainly knew that there was a kind of python that was born white, called the white-nose python, but it did not exist in China and was originally from overseas.
The little white snake is not a white-nosed python, but has mutated into white. But apart from being smart and spiritual, there is nothing surprising about him.
It is neither a spiritual beast nor an unknown species!
It has to be said that Li Si is indeed a famous minister and capable official.
Li Si is Ting Weisi. The reason why there was a severe drought in Langya was because he recruited civilians in Langya to build stone roads and palaces for the First Emperor. As a result, the farming season was missed, and the Langya people had no labor to build canals to divert water for planting.
It is conceivable that public dissatisfaction must have boiled over in Langya, and countless people will blame Li Si, the instigator, for the famine this year.
However, Li Si is smart and knows how to deflect conflicts.
The sentence "The white beast" defied heaven and earth and was hated by heaven and earth, so he was punished, and he dumped the responsibility on his head onto an innocent white snake.
This move not only cleared his responsibilities, but also pleased the First Emperor. If the First Emperor heard about this, he would definitely be overjoyed.
He is worthy of being the Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty. He is indeed extremely smart.
However, is it a good thing that officials are so smart?
What if the people of Langya County lose their harvest this autumn due to drought, and then the land is full of hungry people?
"Sure enough, the etiquette is ruined and the music is ruined." Qin Tian shook his head slightly.
Heaven and earth gather spiritual energy to give birth to human beings. Once human beings are born, they have five virtues, namely benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom and trust. The reason why this person is different from the beasts.
When a prime minister of a country takes the lead in abandoning his own personality for personal gain and becomes a beast...
This is a sign that troubled times are coming!
Fortunately, a severe drought was about to begin at this time, and the farming season had not yet passed.
Qin Tian's eyes casually glanced at a corner of the pile of rocks. There was a dry stream there, leading to the sea along the corner of Langya Mountain.
"This white snake is not evil, on the contrary, it is truly auspicious!"
A calm smile appeared on Qin Tian's face, and he said pointedly: "If we want to relieve the local drought, I'm afraid it will still fall on it!"
"Real auspiciousness?"
Young Duan was slightly startled. Just as he was about to speak, a voice suddenly sounded beside him.
"Young Duan, we have searched the entire rocky beach, and the evil spirit is gone!"
There was a hint of anger on Young Duan's face. He instantly forgot about Qin Tian and turned around suddenly to look in the direction where the sound came from.
"There are so many people and they are surrounding me, how could I disappear?" he said harshly.
The person who spoke was an old man from the village. His face was full of guilt. When he saw the young man getting angry, he quickly lowered his head.
"I don't know, anyway, it's just missing!"
"You are really..."
Young Duan's face instantly turned red, and a sentence had already reached his throat. Considering that he had the duty of teaching, he finally endured it.
He turned around and cupped his hands hastily: "I want to find that white snake, sir..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly froze on the spot.
There was no one in front of him.
The young man just now has disappeared!
He rubbed his eyes subconsciously and looked behind the altar carefully. It was impossible to hide anyone behind the low altar.
He built an awning with his hands, squinted his eyes, and looked around. Everyone who catches the eye is a bunch of old people and children in ragged clothes or even naked buttocks. Is there anyone with a wide robe and big sleeves?
"Young Duan, what should we do now?" The village elder was still chattering.
The young man suddenly turned around, with a look of surprise on his face, and waved his hand pretending to be calm: "That's all, stop looking. Call everyone back and start worshiping the gods!"
The old man was suddenly startled.
"Worship the gods?"
He said quietly: "But in this world, there are no gods, only demons. Today we don't kill the demons but worship the gods. Why is this?"
"That's right, this is what Shao Duan'er said himself!"
"Aren't we going to worship heaven? Why have we turned into worshiping gods?"
"The so-called gods are probably all evil spirits, right?"
"Young Master, this matter cannot be ignored!"
The other villagers had just asked the village elder to ask Young Duan to make up his mind, but they themselves listened carefully. Unexpectedly, they heard such an answer, and they started talking about it.
"Don't talk nonsense!" The young man's expression suddenly changed and he scolded fiercely.
"If anyone disrespects the gods again, I will send you to build a stone path!"
He carefully looked around, and his eyes swept over Langyatai not far away.
That young man just now is probably the immortal on Langya Stage!
