The ritual says: "The ox of the heaven and earth is sacrificed, with horns and cocoons; the ox of the ancestral temple is held by the horns; the ox of the guests is the horn." It means that the cattle of heaven and earth are sacrificed, and the horns are shaped like cocoons or chestnuts, which are small horns;
The horns of the ox in the ancestral temple are slightly larger; the ox for entertaining guests should be big and fat with larger horns.
The venue for the freshman competition is a secret garden - that is, a small world - although the world is small, it has all the internal organs, and it is also a world. Therefore, after this competition, the school needs to worship the heaven and earth according to the etiquette.
The pure white calf, dragged by the puppet man, slowly approached Zheng Qing, staring with its two big black eyes, looking pitiful.
"Hurry up, hurry up!" the puppet shouted, with an impatient look on his face: "Our time is precious and tight!"
It's really hard for its wooden face to be able to express such vivid expressions, Zheng Qing secretly cursed.
Behind him, Thomas stepped forward quickly and explained his responsibilities to Zheng Qing in a low voice.
"You are the captain of the Exoneration Hunting Team, so now we need you to hold the leader's ears." After saying that, the teaching assistant couldn't help but put a silver knife into Zheng Qing's hand, and gestured: "Grab its ears, and put it at the base of the ears."
Just poke it and let some blood come out... don't poke it too deep."
When Zheng Qing heard this, he breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
"I was scared to death," the young public-funded student breathed a heavy sigh of relief: "I thought you wanted me to kill this calf in front of everyone... It turned out that it was just to bleed some blood."
The white calf was somewhat resistant at first. After hearing this, the bull's eyes suddenly widened. He lowered his head and wanted to poke the young wizard in front of him with his two horns.
Thomas held down its head, turned around, and looked at Zheng Qing helplessly: "According to the ancient system, it is necessary to 'sacrifice'... But now, isn't it important to 'advance with the times'? Let's shed some blood."
That's enough...and the Hunting Committee has no intention of filling out dozens of application forms just for a freshmen competition."
"After all, the budget is limited, and the school will certainly not pay an exorbitant 'murder tax' to Dan Hager's Animal Welfare Committee for a first-grade hunting competition."
The little white bull fluttered under Thomas's palm for a moment, and finally gave up the struggle, lowering its head and lowering its ears, showing a look of letting others slaughter it. [!… **Free reading]
Zheng Qing looked around, then under the encouraging gazes of his friends, he lifted one of the little white cow's ears and lightly scratched the back of the ear.
The bright red blood slowly flowed down the soft white hair and landed on the white dish that had been connected below. The red and white colors looked particularly eye-catching.
"Enough, enough." Seeing the cow blood gently submerging the bottom of the plate, Thomas immediately took Zheng Qing's hand and repeatedly stopped him: "This much is enough...a little bit is enough."
As he spoke, he took out a small box of green ointment from his arms and wiped it on the cow's ear. The bleeding on the cow's ear stopped immediately.
The little white cow also knew that his torture was over. He raised his head, shook his ears, glanced angrily at these two-legged monkeys, turned his head, and ran away from the stage.
The puppet man didn't take it seriously and stuck it beside him like a piece of wood, but did not stop the escaping calf.
"When you are ready, play it, and prepare the flute and pipe!"
"The sound of wailing, the sound of Su Yong and the sound of harmony!"
The hoarse and high-pitched curse of the old elf suddenly came from the puppet man's top hat.
Along with this spell, a brilliant golden light suddenly appeared in the void. In the light, there were many shadowy figures holding flutes, panpipes, and even bells, drums, harps and harp instruments. In no time, the sound of majestic music resounded over the entire hunting ground.
Harmonious and loud, it shows the extraordinary and superb skills of the performers.
"Now we have our award-winning guests!"
"The dean of Jiuyou College, Professor Yao Xiaomi, presented trophies and prizes to the hunting team that won the championship today!"
The puppet man said these two sentences very quickly and urgently - he didn't even read all of Lao Yao's 'look up' - which seemed extremely unprofessional.
But soon, Zheng Qing knew what this mentally ill puppet was planning.
While waiting for Lao Yao to come on stage, the puppet's mouth was not idle. Instead, he walked back and forth on the podium, mumbling something. It sounded like he was in a 'hot spot', but it gave people a sense of
A strong feeling of 'smashing things up'.
"The five young wizards standing on the stage formed the championship hunting team of the 2008 freshman competition!"
"They are in high spirits, their faces are glowing, and they are full of fighting spirit!"
"but!"
"They are not the only surviving hunting party in the hunting ground!"
"Many people know that according to our rules, only one hunting team can walk out of this arena alive!"
"but!"
"Just like you chanted..."
As he spoke, the puppet raised the civilization stick in his hand high and stretched it towards the audience. At the same time, he tilted his head and closed his ears, as if he was holding a microphone.
As it wished, the voices in the Alpha stands that had gradually become muffled became louder again.
"Cheating! Cheating! Cheating!!"
Looking from a distance, the white robes rise and fall on the stands, like waves crashing on the rocks, making a deafening sound.
"Yes! That's cheating!"
The puppet man seemed happy to hear this kind of rhetoric. He turned the civilized stick in his hand and shouted happily: "...As you said, this rotten university ended halfway through dirty and despicable means.
Win this game!”
"How many honorable alpha hunters are still waiting on the hunting ground!"
"There are still many Starry Sky Academy hunters who don't lack courage in their hearts, looking around on the hunting grounds!"
"There are many…"
As if the tape had been silenced, the voice behind the puppet suddenly disappeared. The young wizards could only see its mouth opening and closing, its face full of excitement, but they could not hear every word it said.
Soon, Zheng Qing knew the reason.
A yellow-faced wizard wearing black robes and a slicked back hair strode over from the side of the podium. Beside him, Thomas held a small white plate filled with cow's blood, following suit.
"I am very grateful to His Highness the Puppet for being the host of this freshman competition...and the host of the awards ceremony."
"It's just that he seems to have a little misunderstanding about our champion."
Old Yao chuckled, seemingly not using any magic, just speaking plainly, but his voice easily suppressed the noise of thousands of spectators in the audience, allowing everyone to hear clearly.
After saying these words, the dean of Jiuyou Academy walked up to the hunters of the Forgiveness Hunting Team.
Zheng Qing and others lined up in a row, feeling a little nervous.
Lao Yao looked at the young wizards and nodded with satisfaction. He didn't say much. He just raised his right hand and stretched out two fingers.
Thomas immediately handed over the small plate containing the cow's blood in his hand.
The professor put his finger into the plate and dipped it.
Then he walked up to the blue bird who was standing at the end of the team, and tapped his finger stained with cow blood on the blue-robed swordsman's forehead.
"Assess the situation!"
"Pride cannot last forever, desire cannot be indulged, ambition cannot be fulfilled, and happiness cannot be extreme."
Then he came to Fatty Xin and put a blood mark on Fatty Xin's forehead.
"Kindness!"
"Good words to others are warmer than cloth; words that hurt others are better than spears and halberds."
Then came Xiao Xiao.
"Eager to learn!"
"Learning without thinking will lead to failure; thinking without learning will lead to peril."
Then Zhang Jixin.
"Shang Yong!"
"Righteousness lies in not giving in to power and disregarding its benefits. Small courage is the result of flesh and blood; great courage is the result of justice."
Finally, he came to Zheng Qing.
"That's good!"
"Wherever the Tao exists, even if there are thousands of demons, they will also pass away!"
"To lure away hundreds of crazy monsters alone is a person of great benevolence, great wisdom, and great courage. Even the old students who graduated from the school, your seniors who have obtained the title of registered wizard, rarely behave in this situation.
Produce corresponding quality.”
"Do the right thing with the determination to die."
"This should be your biggest gain in this year's game!"
After saying that, he scratched his finger on the plate, soaked up the last bit of cow blood, and dabbed it on Zheng Qing's forehead.
Then, he turned around, faced everyone on the hunting ground, and said loudly:
"Courage, friendliness, trust, and many other beautiful qualities, as well as various principles of being a wizard - this is the great secret treasure we hide in the hunting ground. It can also support young people like you to go further on the road of wizards.
Even if you reach the level of the Great Wizard, or even surpass the Great Wizard, this is a treasure that will never go out of style!"
"Isn't the person who can get this treasure the real champion?"
