As Atsuhiro introduced the 'Human-faced Rat Mother Dragon Sacrifice Ritual' to all the masters, the slaves of Nokanze Manor began to take action. Several slaves escorted a cylindrical object the size of a washbasin.
Go into the garden.
They lifted up the black cloth covering the thing, and they revealed a very lively, white-furred rat that was jumping up and down in an iron cage, as long as an adult's forearm!
The mouse's eyes were blood red and it was climbing everywhere in the cage.
Whenever the slaves escorting the iron cage took them out of the iron cage with their hands, the mouse would quickly approach the slaves' fingers, poke its head out of the cage hole, and take a bite of the slaves' fingers.
The slave chewed off a large piece of flesh and blood from his hand!
——If this rat hadn’t been feeding on people for a long time, it would never have been so ferocious and eager to gnaw on people!
It has no fear of living people at all. When it encounters people, it will actively come to bite them. It is completely different from ordinary rats. When it encounters living people, it will first avoid it, and only dare to fight back when it has no way to avoid it!
The white-haired mouse is so big, so the Kangze family must have been raising it with human blood and human flesh for a long time.
Su Wu looked at the white mouse jumping up and down in the iron cage, frowning slightly, the disgust in his eyes undisguised.
When the rest of the disciples saw the rat's shiny fur and how ferocious it was, their eyes shone brightly.
Atsuhiro glanced at the white mouse in the cage and continued: "This white mouse is very rare. My father asked more than a hundred slaves to dig through many mouse nests for seven consecutive days before he found it.
It is the strongest among its littermates.
When I started taking male rat viscera combined with 'Rat-shaped Dragon Ben' dragon medicine, this white mouse started to be raised in my home and fed three times a day, feeding it various kinds of 'Basoda' to make it familiar with it.
The smell of living flesh and blood makes it stronger.
After being raised to this day, it has become addicted to eating human flesh and blood and is ready for the next step."
After Atsuhiro finished speaking, he looked towards a corner of the garden——
All the masters also looked towards that corner——
But I saw a steward fixing a black cat with shiny fur on an iron frame. The black cat was extremely ferocious. When the steward held it by the back of the neck, it grinned and howled, struggled hard, and scratched the steward's head.
The sleeves left several bloody wounds on his arms.
The more it behaved, the less the steward dared to neglect, and pressed the black cat's back against the iron frame. The other two stewards immediately acted and fixed the black cat's front and back paws on the iron frame.
The first steward freed his hand, took out a dagger, heated it red with fire, and put the tip of the blade close to the black cat's neck——
After a burst of heartbreaking screams, a piece of cat skin exuding a strong smell of blood was placed on a tray and delivered to Atsuhiro. After he inspected it, he burned it to ashes on the spot.
Five gilt silver and chiseled copper kabala bowls were placed on a small square table.
There is an iron hook hanging in front of the small square table.
The slaves reached into the iron cage, ignored the white rat's frantic biting of their palms, grabbed the rat, lifted it up, and hung it on the iron hook.
The white mouse only had a layer of skin on the back of its neck pierced and was hung on an iron hook. The sharp iron hook did not actually damage its internal organs.
It felt the pain, so it struggled hard in mid-air, and drops of blood fell into the five Gabala bowls below.
A steward brought the wooden barrels containing "basouda" that had been prepared in advance to the square table.
They took another earthenware bowl, mixed the ashes from the burned cat skin with some plasma and some internal organ fragments, and then brought them spoonful by spoonful to the mouth of the white-haired mouse, who devoured them all.
.
The white mouse struggled even more vigorously, causing the rust-red chain connected to the iron hook to sway constantly, and the iron rings collided, making a clanging sound.
Today, the wooden barrels, the 'basoda' contained in the wooden boxes, the human skins, etc. were all prepared at least one day in advance.
The slaves would first be sent to Basoda's room, and after the feces and urine in their bodies were drained, their flesh, blood and internal organs would be removed by the butchers in Basoda's room.
This means that the current owners of these 'Basoda' have been dead for at least a day.
"In the 'Human-faced Rat Mother Dragon Sacrifice Ritual' that you received, is there a requirement that forces you to feed it with human flesh and blood mixed with cat skin and ashes before feeding it to this white-haired mouse?"
The stewards were still feeding the white mice 'food'. At this time, Su Wu, who was sitting in the corner, suddenly spoke up and asked Atsuhiro.
Noyasunori, who was sitting behind Atsuhiro, looked a little confused when he heard the question from Master Atsushi in black.
Many Duben masters also looked at Su Wu in confusion, as if his question was not worth mentioning at all, but a common sense question, and every Duben master should know the answer to this question.
Atsushi, who was watching the white-haired mouse eating, smiled slightly coldly when he heard what Su Wu said, and did not answer Su Wu's question.
He looked at Su Wu with a hint of ridicule.
Fortunately, someone still answered Su Wu's question: "Human beings are the patriarch of all things, and there is no animal's flesh and blood viscera that is more suitable to be offered to the ancestors than human flesh and blood viscera."
The sacrificial book does not specify what kind of flesh and blood is to be enshrined by Master Duben, but offering the most spiritually rich living human flesh and blood to the sacrificial book is the consensus of all disciples of the Shenben sect in Duben’s practice today.”
Master Lao Du, who was trying to solve Su Wu's doubts, turned to look at Su Wu, looking at the strangely long sacrificial ritual object behind Su Wu's back, and his eyes were a bit puzzled: "You have already cultivated the sacrificial ritual, how could it be that
Don’t you understand the truth behind this?”
"My sacrificial ritual object was obtained by chance." Su Wu replied.
"You are lucky." Master Lao Du said and stopped looking at Su Wu.
Su Wu lowered his eyes and said no more words.
Taking the flesh and blood of living people as sacrifices to ghosts and gods has become a certain 'tradition' of the gods' religion.
He originally thought that the deepest logic hidden in this 'tradition' was that the ritual of sacrificial rituals imposed requirements on the practice of masters, requiring them to offer living flesh and blood to the sacrificial monks.
When I asked this question at the banquet, I realized that this was not the case at all.
It is Zhu Duben masters who have always believed that human flesh and blood and internal organs are more suitable than other animals to be used to provide sacrifices to various ghosts and gods here. Generations of masters of the deity religion have made this unverified statement,
It has continued to this day and has become a tradition. Everyone follows the inertia of tradition and no one thinks about changing this tradition.
After all, the life of a slave is not more precious than a sheep.
Why use one or even several sheep to solve a problem that can be solved with the flesh and blood of slaves?
This may also be the view of many Duben teachers today.
The white mouse ate up all the 'food' in the stoneware bowl. Atsuhiro took out a copper box. He solemnly opened several locks hanging on the copper box and opened the copper box——
Seeing Atsuhiro's solemnity, everyone had various premonitions in their hearts. They held their breath and focused their attention. As soon as the copper box was opened, they all cast their eyes on the box.
In the box, lying quietly on the silk yellow cloth, was a dry human hand, entangled with various strange patterns intertwined with gold and silver threads.
In the middle of the back of that human hand, there is a 'Six Eyes Dzi Bead' inlaid in it.
It was as if light was flowing along those golden and silver threads, and it was as if those golden and silver threads were blood vessels, transporting 'blood' to the Dzi beads in the center of the back of the hand.
The six-eyed dzi bead rotated imperceptibly for an instant.
No one noticed it at all.
Su Wu in the corner quietly opened his eyebrows and eyes.
"This is the 'Pengben Dharma Artifact'!" Looking at the dry palms on the silk cloth that seemed to be flowing with some kind of 'supernatural' power even though they fell into silence, Atsuhiro couldn't hide his fascination in his eyes, "The human-faced rat female dragon came from this
According to the sacrificial ritual, after the master Du Ben offers the "Five Basuda Offerings" to the mouse, he can offer the corresponding dharma objects.
In the process of integrating with the Dharma object, it can call upon the free 'original power' around it and dig a hole in the mouse's head.
Let the free essence gather more and more in the head of the white-haired rat, and when it is combined with the dharma objects, it can become the true 'human-faced rat female dragon essence'!
But now I use the 'Peng Ben Dharma Object' to combine with the white mouse, in order to make this dharma object absorb the essence gathered by the white mice and swallow the prototype of the 'human-faced rat female dragon from the origin'. Through this method,
Awaken the dormant 'Pengben' in this magic object!
Perhaps, this white mouse alone is not enough for it to eat——"
Atsuhiro paused.
He turned to look at the slaves with chains on their wrists and ankles.
The slaves seemed to sense it, and some were so frightened that they shivered——
The strong stewards immediately gathered around many slaves and kicked the horizontal wooden shackles on their ankles, knocking them all to the ground!
The stewards took the thick ropes hanging from their waists and wrapped them around the necks of the slaves who were struggling to get up. They dragged each slave to the corner like a disobedient dog and hung the ropes in their hands in the corner.
On the hooks that I had prepared long ago!
There was a lot of crying in the garden!
"After the 'Pengben' in this magic object eats the white mouse, you will open the heavenly caps of those slaves!" Atsuhiro ordered calmly.
The stewards responded solemnly.
The young nobleman of the Kangze family looked at the many Duben masters and said: "Pengben has eaten up the 'original power' accumulated in the slave's head, and will probably recover.
——When the time comes, I’ll ask you uncles to help me subdue that ‘Peng Ben’!”
All the masters nodded their heads one after another.
At this time, Su Wu in the corner suddenly asked: "If this is not the 'Peng Ben Dharma Artifact', and if they cannot surrender the 'Ben' in the Dharma Artifact, what will happen?"
The atmosphere has been heightened to this point, and everyone has a feeling that something big is about to happen. Suddenly, at this moment, Master Duben in black in the corner asked an unlucky question!
Master Zhongdu’s expression froze!
Atsushi's expression suddenly became ferocious, and he stared at Su Wu, wishing he could eat Su Wu alive!
Naikangze, who had always maintained a smile from the beginning to now, could not keep the smile on his face at the moment. He looked at Su Wu with a gloomy expression: "The Naikangze family got this Pengben magic object. It is destiny."
.
If God doesn't want my son to return to his "origin" among legal things, then that is God's will.
My family has no regrets.”
"That's good." Su Wu nodded.
"If you don't want to help my family, it's not too late to leave now." Naikang issued an eviction order.
Su Wu shook his head and said, "I also drank here, how could I just leave?"
Naikang sneered a few times after hearing this.
After a pause, he said: "I hope you can remember the oath in the blood wine!"
The master in black robes smiled in response.
I neither agree nor deny what Lord Naikangze said.
There were howls from all sides and the clanking of chains still continued.
