Chapter 83 88. Famous Generals of the Eastern Han Dynasty
"What kind of feast are you having? Add me in!" The villager who was woken up by being hit to the ground by Huo Huai's vine suddenly replied.
"Hehehe"
"Hehehe"
The atmosphere was extremely awkward for a moment. The village chief touched his nose, cleared his throat, and broke the silence: "I'm glad you're okay, I'm glad you're okay."
"Village Chief, something bad has happened!"
The villager who had just been lying weakly on the ground suddenly jumped up quickly, pulling the village chief and shaking him hard, while shouting in his ear.
"What happened?" The village chief was dizzy from being shaken. He grabbed the villager, shook his head and asked hurriedly.
"A hanging coffin on the cliff has become loose."
"What? The hanging coffin is loose?"
When everyone heard this, they immediately became anxious and gathered around, talking at once. The scene was as noisy as if eight hundred restless ducks had been activated in an instant.
“Is the hanging coffin about to fall down?”
"What should I do? It's so high, how can I repair it?"
"What if they get angry and take their anger out on us?"
"Village chief, please think of a solution!"
The village chief, who had finally escaped, drank a large glass of cold water before he could catch his breath.
"What's up with those hanging coffins on the cliff?"
Han Yixiao asked doubtfully.
The village chief sighed, his tone very helpless.
"Those over 600 hanging coffins on the cliff face hold the remains of a general and his subordinates from the Jian'an period of Emperor Xian of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Our village is actually the descendant of the coffin keepers. Our generation is the 48th generation."
Speaking of the general and his subordinates, the village chief suddenly became respectful, his eyes filled with memories.
"From the first year of Emperor Guangwu's Jianwu reign to the twenty-fifth year of Emperor Xian's Jian'an reign in the Eastern Han Dynasty, a long and rare plague broke out. This plague lasted for 196 years, and by the end, thousands of people had died on the battlefields, and nine out of ten houses were empty."
When mentioning the plague, the village chief's tone was unusually heavy.
"This general was a renowned figure in his time, known as the ever-victorious Jade-faced Lord Luo. Even after the war ended, the plague continued to spread. The general considered himself a sinner, having launched the war and allowed the plague to spread. To atone for his sins, he retired from the army at the height of his success and spent his life searching for a solution to the plague. Over 600 of his men followed him on this quest."
"God blesses those who work hard. He actually found the last witch in the ancient border. It is said that this witch has the ability to see through the heavens and the earth, and has always been in seclusion."
"Miko?" When everyone heard this, they suddenly became very curious about this miko.
Seeing their gossipy expressions, the village chief shook his head and continued.
"In order to ask the witch to stop the plague, the general willingly allowed the witch to plant the puppet Gu, and be controlled by the witch for the rest of his life."
"Puppet Gu, there is such a thing?" Lin Jun's face was full of horror.
"Stop making trouble and listen to the village chief's story. Village chief, please continue." Jian Cheng'an glared at Lin Jun who interrupted.
After being interrupted repeatedly, the village chief was speechless. He took a sip of water and continued, "Even so, the witch is still unwilling to take action."
"Why?" Tian Yuanyuan couldn't help but interrupt.
The village chief took a deep breath, suppressed his temper, and continued, "General, I don't understand why the witch has the ability to stop the plague, but she has stayed away from the world and not taken any action?"
"Later, as the two of them got along, the witch fell in love with the general. She told him that if the plague was to be stopped, a blood sacrifice would have to be performed. This blood sacrifice would involve the witch acting as a guide to connect heaven and earth, using the bloody evil energy to create a formation to break the plague."
Hearing this, Lin Jun jumped up again and laughed triumphantly.
"I knew this was a love transaction! I guessed right, hahahaha!"
After successfully receiving a death stare from Han Yixiao, everyone finally quieted down.
The village chief couldn't stand the noise anymore and quickly ended the story, saying, "In the end, the witch offered a sacrifice and used the blood and evil energy of six hundred soldiers to form a formation, which finally broke the plague."
"It is said that when the plague was broken, there was thunder and lightning between heaven and earth, and heavy rain fell for a whole year."
"That's it?" Everyone waited for a while and saw the village chief spread his hands, as if it was over, with a look of dissatisfaction on his face.
"Where's the General?"
"Is the witch dead?"
"Did the two of them end up together?"
"What's the relationship between that silly eagle and them?"
The village chief would never tell them stories again, he was too irritable! The noise was making my head hurt!
