Wu Dan, who was on the side, had already become impatient. Before Dou Bobi could finish what he said, he shouted repeatedly: "That's nonsense! You are clearly here to seize the territory, and they say it is for the people of our village. We will not be fooled by you." Well, fellow tribesmen, do you think so?"
The Pu soldiers and generals under his command said in unison: "That's it, that's it!"
Mo Xiang said: "Our Pu family has lived on this land for generations, and there is nothing wrong with it. It was your arrival that broke our peaceful life. You obviously want to occupy our territory, and you pretend that it is for us. Ah Dad, what do you have to say to him? Just push it out to sacrifice the mountain!"
Wu Shan also said: "Yes, they are sacrifices sent by God. What are you waiting for? Boys, quickly capture these two!" After that, without waiting for the leader of the village to say anything, they all drew their swords and surrounded Dou. The two brothers were trapped in Gaixia.
When Dou Yuqiang saw this, he immediately waved his hammers and shouted loudly: "Whoever dares to touch a hair of my brother Bobi, little grandpa, I will turn him into a pulp on the spot!"
Dou Bobi drank and Dou Yuqiang glanced coldly at Wu Shan's group in front of him, raised his head calmly, and said loudly: "If it weren't for the diamond belly, we wouldn't dare to swallow iron sand. This envoy is here in danger. , I have put life and death aside for a long time. The sun and the moon can tell us about the painstaking efforts. If the leader of the village really does not understand the painstaking efforts of this envoy, if he wants to kill or chop, please do as he pleases!"
Mo Xiang said: "Chu Manzi, stop using your sweet words to deceive people. You brought it to the door yourself today, so you can't blame anyone!" After that, he threw it casually, and a net covered Dou Bobi. Dou Yuqiang wanted to come to the rescue, but was blocked by Wu Shan and Pu Bing and Pu Generals. Dou Yuqiang was so anxious that he somersaulted in front of the village leader Mo He. He pulled his arm with one hand and held a hammer with the other and shouted sternly: "Who dares to touch half a finger of my brother Bobie? I will not be polite today, little grandpa!"
Mo He didn't expect Dou Yuqiang to do this, and his face turned pale with fear, and everyone present was also stunned.
When Dou Bobi saw this, he shouted sternly: "Yu Qiang, please stop being rude and not letting go of the village master!"
Under Dou Bobi's repeated scolding, Dou Yuqiang had to reluctantly shout "Brother!" The moment he let go, the villagers swarmed up, hugging the waist and grabbing the arms. Grab him in one go. It took Mo He a long time to catch his breath, winked at Elder Tanxu on the side, and left the hall. Elder Tan Xu waved his hand, and everyone pushed the Dou brothers out of the hall. Wu Guan ordered Pu Ding to escort Dou Bobi to the woods behind the stronghold, and said to Dou Yuqiang: "We will take Dou Bobi to worship the mountain god. Let you go back and report a message to your general. Unless you withdraw your troops, you can only The swordsmen met in front of the battle!" After saying that, he ordered people to push him out of the stronghold, and Dou Bobi's voice came from behind him: "Xian Nephew Yu Qiang, if you go back, tell the general that no matter what happens, Pu Di will only Take advantage of it, but don't attack it with force! Remember, remember..."
After Doudou Bobi and Dou Yuqiang went to Pu Village, Xiong Tong was worried about the safety of the two brothers and was restless. Dou Min comforted him and said, "I don't think my uncle, Uncle Bi, would have taken such a risk unless he was completely sure. Besides, Brother Bobi has always maintained that Pu land can only be taken with good intentions and not with force. His subordinates felt that his words It makes sense. Brother Bobi’s mission to Pu Village will be successful this time, so the general doesn’t have to worry about it..."
While talking, he saw Dou Yuqiang coming back alone and crying. Xiong Tong was shocked and asked hurriedly: "Why did you come back alone, Uncle Wang?"
When Dou Yuqiang saw this, he burst into tears and said while crying: "Brother Bobi was captured by Gounan's Pu people... They also said that they wanted to sacrifice him to the mountain..."
When Xiong Tong heard this, he immediately became furious and shouted: "I am so angry! Come here, send me the order to raise the tent, flatten the Pu stockade, and avenge General Dou!"
Dou Min quickly stopped him and said, "General, please calm down. It's better to wait until the truth of the matter is found out before making a decision... Yu Qiang, what's going on? You first tell the general how you went to Pu Village. Also, when you come back Did Brother Shi Bobi say anything to you?"
With tears in his eyes, Dou Yuqiang recounted the story of how he and Dou Bobi went to Pu Village together, and then said: "Brother Bo Bi said, or will tell the general, no matter what happens, Pu Di can only be kind." Take it, don’t attack it with force! Remember, remember..."
After listening to Dou Yuqiang's story, Dou Min said: "Really? General, in my opinion, although brother Bobi's life and death are unknown at the moment, brother Bobi has asked Yu Qiang to send a message back, and we can only stay here Wait patiently and wait and see what happens..."
Xiong Tong thought about it and could only do this. While keeping his troops stationary, he sent spies to Puzhai to inquire about the news.
After the Pu soldiers drove Dou Yuqiang out of the Pu village, they covered Dou Bobi's eyes with black gauze and took him to the woods behind the village. I don’t know how long or how far I walked along the rugged trail. When the Pu soldiers pulled off the black gauze that covered Dou Bobi’s eyes, they had arrived at a stone temple in the mountains. Dou Bobi looked up and saw a stone house on a hillside. The stone house had no doors, no windows, and no obstructions. In the center stood a stone sculpture with an animal head and a human body, which was probably the mountain god that Pu people said. Under the stone steps on the opposite side is a square stone bar placed horizontally, probably for placing offerings. The stone strips are stained with blood, apparently left by the Pu people when they used three animals to worship the mountain gods. When the Pu soldiers escorted Dou Bobi to a slope behind the temple, they saw two people tied to two trees opposite. They were naked and covered with patterns. Perhaps they were captives from foreign tribes. Dou Bobi was tied to another tree.
At that time, it was very common to bury living people and use people as sacrificial animals. The objects of sacrifice were usually lowly slaves and captives from different tribes. As a primitive tribal group like Baipu, generations of people believe in the stereotypes and bad habits inherited by their tribe for thousands of years, and are never bound by any dynastic laws. Now that it falls into their hands, even if he has great abilities and all kinds of abilities, he will not be reduced to ashes in an instant like a mustard falling into a fire...
At this moment, Dou Bobi couldn't help but feel his heart surge and couldn't calm down. The first thing he thought of was his mother Yun Ji, who might be looking at her from the door, looking forward to his early triumph... Then, the scene when his nephew Dou Yuqiang left appeared in front of him. Did he return to camp successfully? Do you bring your words in time? General Xiong Tong is very impatient. If he knew that the Pu people were offering him as a sacrificial animal to the mountain god, would he lead his troops to rescue him? If this is true, a bloody battle between Chu and Pu is inevitable. By then, the plan to open up Baipu will come to nothing... Dou Bobi was thinking wildly there, and suddenly a scream broke his contemplation. Dou Bobi took a closer look and was surprised. I saw a fleshy-faced Pu family man with a round waist and broad shoulders, naked to the waist, holding a sharp knife, and stabbed the chest of a man tied to the tree. Then he looked up with the knife and cut out the other person. He reached into his chest and plucked out a bloody human heart. Next to him was a man holding a wooden plate. When the heart was thrown into the plate, it was still beating. Then, the Pu family man grabbed the man's hair and soon cut off another head. After the Pu man carrying the plate took away the heads and hearts, another man came up with a wooden plate in his hand. The man from the Pu family walked up to the other tied man and stabbed him again in the chest... Although Dou Bobi has been on the battlefield for a long time, , still frightened by the bloody scene in front of him. The Pu family man took two pairs of human hearts and two human heads in a row, and then came to Tou Bobi. When their eyes met, Dou Bobi's eyes were wide open and he stared at the Pu family man intently. They were a pair of bloodshot eyes, and the cloudy eyes shone with a fierce and cruel light like a wolf. However, even though that look was fierce and cruel, in the face of Dou Bobi's eyes full of awe-inspiring righteousness, evil could not defeat good. After a long period of staring at each other, the man finally felt guilty, timid and scared. He was sweating profusely on his head, his eyes were wandering, his hands were shaking, and the knife fell to the ground with a clang.
The man couldn't help shouting at the top of his lungs: "Bring a cloth quickly and cover his eyes!" Pu Renjian, who was holding a wooden plate in his hand, had to put down the plate and cover Doubi's eyes with a cloth. Then, Bobi Dou felt a pair of trembling hands pull open his shirt and place the tip of a cold cow-ear sharp knife on his chest.
