You are my golden finger

"I think you are the one who doesn't want to live. What era is it now? You still dare to sacrifice a living person? Isn't this a contempt of the imperial law?" Xihui shouted loudly.

"We offer sacrifices to the river god, which is a common practice of our tribe, in order to seek the protection of the gods. This is a matter within our tribe, what has it got to do with you?" The priest was still trying to argue.

"Guards, kill a few animals from the river and show him what he is offering sacrifice." Xihui ordered.

Wu Beijing led several guards to perform Qinggong and quickly killed several crocodiles from the lake and threw them onto the shore.

"This is the so-called river god you worship! This ferocious beast is called a crocodile. It is a carnivorous animal. Do you understand?" Xihui poked the priest with the tip of the sword and said angrily.

The villagers around Zhou Zhou were talking about it, and several of them burst into tears. They were the parents of the children who had been thrown into the lake as sacrifices in previous years.

"Capture all these people, escort them back to the city, and hand them over to the prefect for handling." Xihui ordered.

"Who are you? You have no right to arrest me!" The priest was quite arrogant. He was not afraid of the governor, so why would he be afraid of this young boy?

"All under heaven belongs to the king. All the people in the world are the king's subjects! Look at this? Do I have the right to arrest you?" Xihui took out the imperial gold medal and declared solemnly.

The priest saw that Xihui was holding a golden medal with the words "As if I were here in person". He was frightened and knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said, "Sir, spare my life!"

Xihui signaled to the guards to arrest the priest and others and send them back to Zhaoli City for processing.

Mu Jin had already rushed forward to rescue the mother of the two children. The woman was now hugging her two lost and found children and crying loudly.

Seeing the priests and others being taken away, he finally realized that his child's life was saved. He quickly took the child and knelt in the direction of Xihui and others: "Thank you all for saving my child."

Mu Jin and Cheng Zheng hurriedly helped the three people up.

Xihui was standing on the high altar at this moment, and said to the villagers below: "Since the year before last, our dynasty has issued a decree that no one has the right to sacrifice living people. The priests sacrificed boys and girls to the river gods, which violated the law and will definitely be punished by law. Everyone should unite as one to protect themselves and their families."

The villagers seemed to be touched and dispersed amid discussion.

"What a cruel custom!" Xin Lan sighed, "If we hadn't come today, the two children would have been thrown into the lake to feed the crocodiles, and the mother would probably not have survived."

"The more remote the place, the more such bad habits there are! The management efforts of each state government need to be strengthened!" Wu Beijingshen feels that he has a long way to go.

Everyone was saddened by what had just happened and had no mood to do anything. They just walked along the lake and returned to Zhaoli City.

Prefect Zhaoli learned from the bailiff guarding the city gate that Xihui and others had returned, so he hurried to the inn to visit them.

The prefect ashamedly said to Xihui and others: "Sir, I failed to supervise and manage properly, so that such a thing happened in my jurisdiction."

"Since the incident has already happened, we must handle the aftermath properly and not bend the law for personal gain. At the same time, think about how to prevent such incidents from happening in the future." Xihui said.

"I will definitely punish them severely. But the government does not have enough police force to fight against the local tyrants!" The prefect was very distressed.

"I will report this to the emperor after I return to the court and ask him to strengthen local police force. You just need to do your current job well." Xihui said.

Xihui and others declined the prefect's invitation to a welcoming party and continued their journey, starting their legendary ice and snow journey on Yunlong Snow Mountain.

In the vast land of Yuncheng, Yunlong Snow Mountain stands between heaven and earth like a holy goddess.

From afar, Yunlong Snow Mountain shines silver under the sunlight, and the continuous snow peaks seem like a giant dragon winding around. The white snow tops and the blue sky complement each other, outlining an intoxicating and beautiful picture.

"Yunlong Snow Mountain is a sacred mountain in the hearts of the Naxi people. In the Naxi legend, Yunlong Snow Mountain is the incarnation of the "Three Gods" who guard this land and its people. We Naxi people have deep respect for Yunlong Snow Mountain, and many of our cultural customs are closely related to this sacred mountain." He Liangqing, a young Naxi man under Qi Jinghao's command, introduced to everyone.

Walking along the winding mountain road, you can feel the fresh air blowing on your face, with a hint of coolness, which makes you feel refreshed.

"Sister Yuehe, do you three have the courage to climb to the top of the mountain today?" An An asked Yuehe and others.

"We have climbed the Golden Summit of Emei Mountain, so we can definitely climb the Yunlong Snow Mountain too!" Yuehe answered with great pride.

"This is different from the Golden Summit of Emei Mountain. The altitude here is high and it is easy to lack of oxygen, which will cause breathing difficulties. Come on, we are prepared. Sister Jin has already anticipated it. Each person will receive a Snow Ginseng Pill and a bottle of Magic Water. I guarantee everyone will be fine after eating and drinking it!" An An shouted like an advertisement.

When the guards heard this, they immediately distributed medicine and water.

"Wow! Sister Jin is so nice. She has planned everything for us a long time ago!" Shangguan Qing felt that he was really lucky and was glad to be a member of this group.

As the altitude increases, the scenery is constantly changing. On the hillside, the trees are shady and the flowers and plants are swaying, as if it is a watercolor painting carefully drawn by nature.

As we approached the top of the mountain, the surrounding vegetation became sparse, replaced by white snow and rugged rocks.

As the mountain rises slowly, it seems as if you are in the clouds. There is a deep canyon under your feet and continuous mountains in the distance. The magnificent scenery makes people marvel at the wonders of nature.

On the way, Wu Beijing, Xing Cheng and Xiao Wen repeated their old tricks, fully exerting their boyfriend power, holding their slender waists and jumping upwards to help their fiancées reach the top.

After reaching the top of the mountain, everyone was shocked by the beautiful scenery in front of them. All around was an endless white world, pure and peaceful. Standing on the observation deck, overlooking the mountains and rivers below, an inexplicable feeling of emotion welled up in my heart.

"The most beautiful scenery is on the dangerous peaks! Although climbing a mountain is hard, it is worth it to put in some effort." Yuehe said while drinking water and panting with a pale face.

We were lucky enough to see the beautiful sunset at Yunlong Snow Mountain. At sunset, the snow-capped mountain tops shone charmingly under the sunlight, and the snow-capped mountains under the sunset glow were even more beautiful, and the warm colors made people intoxicated.

Go down to the foot of the snow-capped mountains, stay overnight in a temple, and listen to the melodious chanting. Your soul will be purified and your fatigue will disappear. It's as if you have traveled through time and space and returned to that ancient and mysterious era.
