During the banquet, suddenly other generals whispered below, as if there was a secret, and then many people asked for leave and went downstairs. Sun Ce was very surprised and asked, "What are you doing?"
He replied left and right: "There is a god named Yu who passed by us. All the generals want to see the style."
Sun Ce also wanted to do it, so he got up and looked at it. He found a man wearing a Taoist robe, a crane cloak, and a quinoa stick in his hand. When the people saw it, they burned incense and knelt down, and blocked the streets for a moment.
Sun Ce was very angry and said, "Where is this demon? I'm going to destroy my rules. Go and arrest him!"
He said left and right: "His name is Yu Ji, he lives in the east, and travels to Wuhui. By casting talismans, he can save all the diseases. Therefore, the people admire him very much and treat him as a god. They cannot easily blaspheme."
Unexpectedly, a Taoist priest has a higher reputation than his ruler, Sun Ce was even more unhappy and shouted: "Go and catch this person quickly, and behead me if you don't go."
The left and right had no choice but to go downstairs, bring a team of people, arrest Yu Ji, and then escort him upstairs to see Sun Ce.
Sun Ce angrily scolded: "How can you, a crazy Taoist priest, easily stir up the hearts of the people?"
Yu Ji said: "I am a Taoist priest of Langya Palace. During the reign of Emperor Shun, I went up the mountain to collect herbs and got an immortal book on Yangququan Water, called "Taiping Qingling Dao", which has more than hundreds of volumes, and the above ones
The content is to cure the diseases of mortals. I think it is a good idea to get this book. I will learn it and then teach the people instead of the way of heaven to save people, and never receive any rewards. How can I say that I am bewitching people's hearts?"
Sun Ce didn't believe it and sneered: "If you don't want anything, where did the clothes you wear and food you eat come from? You are the same person as the first corner of the Yellow Turban Thief. If you don't kill it, you will definitely be in the future.
After that, let the left and right push it out to behead it.
Zhang Zhao quickly advised, saying, "This Yu Ji has been in Jiangdong for more than ten years and has not made any mistakes. He cannot be killed for no reason."
Sun Ce said: "What's the difference between killing a demon like this and killing a pig or a dog?"
Others had a good impression of Yu Ji, and Chen Zhen also came out to persuade him, but Sun Ce was still angry and asked someone to lock him in a cell to take care of him first.
Everyone dispersed, and Chen Zhen also returned to the inn to rest first.
After Sun Ce returned, the incident was reported to Sun Ce's mother, Mrs. Wu, by some eunuchs. He quickly summoned Sun Ce and said, "I heard that you tied up the immortal Yu Ji, is it true? This person is in Jiangdong.
Ten years have been practicing medicine to save people and doing a lot of good things. The military and civilians admire him very much. You can't just kill him."
Sun Ce said: "He is clearly a demon, and he uses magic to charm others. He must be eliminated!"
The lady wanted to persuade her again, but Sun Ce didn't listen at all. Finally, she said, "Mom, don't listen to others casually, I have a way to deal with it myself." So she asked the prison guard to take Yu Ji to ask about the situation in front of her.
As a result, the person was gone and it was clear that the prisoners were all dead Yu Ji's loyal believers. When Yu Ji was locked up in prison, they helped untie the rope on their bodies and then quietly released them.
When Sun Ce found out, he was very angry and punished the prison guards, then captured Yu Ji and released him back.
Zhang Zhao and other heavyweight ministers wrote a petition together, hoping that Sun Ce could let Yu Ji go, which is a matter of respecting the gods.
Sun Ce said: "You guys have all studied, why can't you understand this principle? Zhang Jin, the prefect of Jiaozhou, believed in the cult, kowtowed and burned incense every day, and often covered his head with a red turban, saying that he could.
If you help the war to go smoothly, the power of the army will be greatly increased. Later, it was not killed by the enemy. These things were not beneficial. You just didn’t have a clear understanding. I wanted to kill Yu Ji, just to cut off your superstitious knowledge."
Lu Fan suggested: "I heard that Yu Ji can call the wind and rain. In recent years, there have been many droughts and the people are suffering so much. Why don't he let him come out and ask for rain to atone for his sins?"
Sun Ce could not believe it, and said, "Then I will see what this demon has to do with heaven." So he asked the prison guard to recall Yu Ji, untied the rope, and then asked him to open the altar to practice and pray for rain.
After Yu Ji received this order, he immediately took a shower and changed his clothes, took a rope and tied himself under the scorching sun. When the people saw it, they all occupied the streets.
Yu Ji shouted to everyone: "I beg for the rain to save all the people, but I will never be spared from death."
Everyone said, "If it works, the lord will definitely admire you and will not kill you."
Yu Ji shook his head and said, "I've calculated it, my energy is gone, and I can't escape death."
After a while, Sun Ce brought everyone to the altar and ordered: "If the rain has not yet come down at noon, you will burn Yu Ji to death on the spot." After that, he asked everyone to prepare all the firewood and place it under the altar.
At noon, a strong wind blew. Wherever the wind passed, the sky was blocked by clouds, but no rain came down.
Sun Ce laughed and said, "It's already noon. Although there are clouds in the sky, there is no rain. This proves that Yu Ji is a demon!" So he asked the left and right to lift Yu Ji to the fire and ordered the fire to light it. The flames became stronger and stronger with the strong wind. Suddenly,
I saw the black smoke rushing into the sky, and a loud noise was heard, and it was thunder and lightning. It was raining heavily. After a while, the streets were like rivers, and the water in the streams in the fields was full, and three feet of rain fell.
Yu Ji lay on the pile of firewood and shouted loudly. The rain stopped and the sun appeared again in the sky.
So everyone and the officials carried Yu Ji down, untied the rope, and thanked him in person.
When Sun Ce saw the officers and soldiers and the people all thank him in the water, he completely ignored his identity, so he was furious and scolded: "Whether it rains is a fixed number. This demon is in a gap. How can you be so charmed?
”
So he took the sword and ordered his left and right to kill Yu Ji immediately. All the officials came out to persuade him. Sun Ce said angrily: "Are you planning to help Yu Ji rebel?"
The officials did not dare to speak anymore, so Sun Ce asked the warrior to hold a knife and cut Yu Ji to death on the spot. He only saw Yu Ji's head landing, and a blue gas came out of his body, heading northeast.
Sun Ce asked someone to hang his body in the city wall, and the crime was to deceive the public.
That night, the storm was storm, and on the morning of the next day, Yu Ji's body disappeared.
Sun Ce thought it must be the defenders who were favoritism and was about to send someone to kill the defenders. As a result, he saw someone and walked slowly from the hall. Sun Ce saw clearly that it was Yu Ji himself and he didn't say anything. Sun Ce was very angry.
I was about to draw my sword to kill the other party, but why did I not be able to raise my strength and then fainted on the ground.
