Chapter 295: Angering the Gods and Buddhas in Heaven
Ling Yun only felt a pair of small hands messing with his body, and his breathing became rapid.
He looked down and saw Su Nuan unbuckling her belt, and the word "bed" couldn't help but appear in his mind.
He pushed Su Nuan away with force and turned away with a gloomy expression.
Su Nuan was stunned and withdrew her hand awkwardly.
The space spirit looked at the two of them. It didn't think Ling Yun was the kind of person who despised the poor and loved the rich. Su Nuan must be getting stuck in a dead end.
In fact, after spending so much time together, it can be seen that the Ling family dotes on Su Nuan not because Su Nuan is special.
But the space spirit knew that no matter what he said, it would be useless, and Su Nuan needed to experience it slowly.
Ling Yun had already put his clothes in order and asked, "Are we going back?"
Su Nuan also came back to her senses and asked uncomfortably, "Will the people here stop the sacrifice?"
Ling Yun shook his head, "No, the sacrifice takes place every year. There's no need to expose my people for such a small matter."
Su Nuan narrowed her eyes, "Do those children have to die?"
Ling Yun didn't say anything, obviously he didn't want to get involved in this matter.
Su Nuan still cared about those children, especially since she knew she would not have children in the future. She could not accept the children suffering.
She said angrily, "Natural disasters are all about climate... God has the final say, and it won't change just because the sacrificial animal is a human."
"Deities, Buddhas, and Bodhisattvas are all benevolent. How could they possibly be willing to see humans used as sacrifices?"
"Perhaps the winter snowstorm was caused by their use of human sacrifices last year. If they continue to use human sacrifices this year, they might end up with a total crop failure."
Ling Yun was silent for a moment and then said, "Perhaps what you said makes sense. What do you want to do? Just steal the child away?"
Su Nuan recalled the locust plague before the autumn harvest in her previous life. If she wanted to stop using human sacrifices, she could take advantage of this situation.
Then the sacrifice must be held, and you can just replace the offerings yourself when the time comes.
I just don’t know if the high priestess is still alive. After she died, there was no one to preside over the sacrifice.
Seeing that Su Nuan didn't want to leave, Ling Yun asked, "Do you want to wait for the sacrifice?"
Su Nuan nodded, "Well, I'll leave it to you to fish out the child from the river. I'll go replace the other offerings."
Ling Yun shook his head, "No, you don't have any treasures anymore, it's inconvenient to bring anything with you, I'll go and exchange the offerings."
Su Nuan was stunned. "You...you're not going to care?"
Ling Yun frowned and said, "I see you really want to take care of it. You are my sister-in-law, so I must help you."
These words made Su Nuan feel much more comfortable. Originally, she had not held out any hope as he was determined not to get involved. Now it was like a sudden surprise.
The Space Spirit said, "Actually, what you asked just now was wrong. Just tell him what you want to do and then ask him if he's willing to help. He will definitely not refuse."
Su Nuan pondered for a moment, it seemed to be like this, if you want to do something, just say it first, and then tell him your needs. If the other party is willing to help, he will definitely help. If he is unwilling, there will be no loss if he is rejected.
She smiled slightly, "Okay, I want to save those children, but not in advance."
"Hmm... Let me tell you a situation. This is my own analysis of the weather conditions."
Ling Yun immediately became serious, "Sister-in-law, you speak, I'm listening."
Seeing him as serious as a child in class, Su Nuan smiled softly, "We have a lot of snow in winter, so there must be places with less snow. Less snow means drought, and drought means locust plagues."
"So we need to be prepared for locust plagues in autumn, but we can also say that locust plagues are a punishment from heaven..."
Ling Yun was very clever and immediately grasped the key point. He said, "You want everyone to think that this sacrifice was successful, and then use the natural disaster to say that using human sacrifices will not only fail to ensure a good harvest, but will also anger the gods and Buddhas in heaven."
Su Nuan nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, that's right, you are so smart."
Ling Yun's face flushed at the compliment, and he said with an evasive look, "Sister-in-law was more direct, so it's not hard to guess."
Su Nuan suddenly felt that Ling Yun was not that annoying. As long as she expressed her request, he seemed to have never refused.
The Space Spirit said, "Ling Yun is a straight man. If you are straightforward with him, you will definitely get what you want. It will be difficult for you to get what you want."
Su Nuan asked in confusion, "What do you mean by getting two for one?"
The Space Spirit chuckled, "If you only tell him half of what you want and leave him guessing the other half, you might get nothing."
Su Nuan suddenly realized that she was no exception. Asking him to guess half of what she was saying was like saying she liked sweet food and then waiting for him to serve her favorite dessert. How could that be possible?
After all, there are so many sweet things, and it is very likely that what he guessed and got was his least favorite dessert.
It would be better to tell him from the beginning that I want to eat osmanthus cake, and I guarantee he won’t bring red bean cake.
Seeing Su Nuan was silent again, Ling Yun asked anxiously, "Can you tell me what you think?"
Su Nuan glanced at the gate. No one was chasing them. Maybe their tail was wiped out by Ling Yun's men.
She said, "You decide whether to stay or go back first. On the day of the sacrifice, go to the river in advance to make preparations."
"I'll find a chance to change the offerings, and I'll still have time to find a few monkeys."
It is completely fine to use a monkey as a substitute for a five or six-year-old child, but the monkey needs to shed its fur first.
The space spirit said, "Where are those baboons from last time? Ask them for it. Monkeys are also their food."
Su Nuan was delighted, "Okay, I understand."
The first thing to do is to get rid of Lingyun and find a quiet place to call the baboons.
Ling Yun thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, I know what to do."
Su Nuan immediately called Feixue and flew away.
The baboons made their home behind the cliff, and Su Nuan could easily find them through the surveillance camera.
After finding the baboon leader, Su Nuan said, "Take me to where there are more monkeys."
The baboon leader's eyes rolled around but he didn't move.
Su Nuan knew that this was for delicious food, so she took out the fruits and vegetables in the space and also took out a fish.
The baboons were full and satisfied before they happily led the way.
Finally, Su Nuan found a group of monkeys in the territory of Luosha Kingdom. The trees here were quite interesting. The trunks were as thick as vases.
But judging from the leaves, these are just ordinary fruit trees. Why are the trunks mutated?
Su Nuan landed and went forward to examine the tree trunks. She was surprised to find that they were indeed monkey wine.
The space spirit stretched its neck to look up the tree. "These monkeys are clever. When the tree was not very big, they hollowed out the core and filled it with water to expand it. Gradually, it became like this."
"Then they stuff the fruit inside the tree, and through natural fermentation it becomes wine."
Su Nuan searched the trunk but couldn't find an opening. Confused, she asked, "How do they get the wine out? Are these containers disposable?"
