Chapter 064 Primitive Faith
With Roy's clapping, several playing card soldiers opened the prison door and transported five "statues" in a flatbed truck for pulling goods.
Mushika didn't recognize what statue it was, but Song Jie exclaimed.
"The monk is right! This is! You take them, they..."
It’s not because Song Jie was surprised. The monk is an important figure in the history of ghosts.
Thousands of years ago, when the worlds of humans and ghosts were not completely separated, ghosts hunted humans, and humans also hunted ghosts to take revenge.
During that period, ghosts generally believed in "primitive faith".
The religious leaders at that time were the five ghosts, "Great Monk Zheng" and "Four Great Sages".
The religious forces at that time could compete with the royal family, and the monk himself was even more responsible for Song Jie's teacher and was responsible for his education.
All this changed after Julius Latori signed a "convention" with ghosts on behalf of humans and ghosts.
According to the "contract", ghosts and humans cease to fight, ghosts no longer hunt humans, and humans no longer kill ghosts.
For the human side, everyone was happy except for the ancestors who were betrayed and left as food for livestock.
But for ghosts, this is against their usual beliefs.
According to the doctrine of "primitive faith", we can only eat food given by nature, that is, we can only eat wild ones, not domestic ones.
But even the great monks cannot violate the decision of "Garbage Code Master".
Therefore, in order to prevent the masses from being contrary to the decisions of the upper class of ghosts, the monk was calling on the masses to obey the arrangements of the royal family and allow everyone to violate the doctrine. In those days, it was simply the feeling of the Vatican pope taking the lead in burning the Bible and smashing the cross.
In order to reduce the masses' rebellious mentality, the monk led the four sages to pray to God in the temple, saying that the people's sins of breaking the precepts were imposed on the five of them, so that the masses could turn to eating "domestic" humans without psychological burden.
The five of them did not eat or drink, and completely entered a state of false death, and had existed in a state of receiving mummies for thousands of years.
Although it is quite great, these human-cannibal ghosts have an opposite relationship with humans. Roy admires them and does not prevent him from hating them.
However, these five ghosts have extremely high prestige in the ghost society, equivalent to the Christian pope and the living Buddhas of Tibetan Buddhism. With them, they can better appease the ghost masses.
That's why Roy moved a few of them from the temple where he prayed for his blessing, leaving behind fake statues made with replacement magic.
"Well, you know them. With your evil blood, you can awaken them from the state of fake death. With their help, you will be able to support you to the throne, and the obstacles will be much smaller."
Whether it is king or not, it is definitely good to see the teacher who has been away from for a long time and seek his help. So Song Jie agreed and prepared to discuss with the monk after he was resurrected.
Roy knew that cooperation could not be negotiated immediately, but he decided to loosen the bondage for them and resurrect the monk and the others first.
"Okay, I'll leave these five to you. Look at them and let them resurrect. They have been in this state for thousands of years, and rely on the blood of the two of you. You can resurrect one of them by doing their best. Don't hurt your body all at once.
Oh, by the way, after the battle just now, I had already obtained Song Jie's blood and muscle samples. After all, I cut off such a "scrap" with an axe, but Mushika's is not yet.
As the source of evil blood, Mushika, please let me collect some blood samples and muscle samples. If you can, eggs...oh."
A fist hit Roy's head, but Atalanta couldn't stand it anymore.
"Okay, the blood and muscles are fine, I'll come here to get it later." As he said that, Roy left the cell and left Atalanta to loosen the two of them.
"Well, don't care about Master's rudeness, Mushika." As a woman, Atalanta hopes to get Mushika's support. Convincing Mushika is equivalent to doing half of Tong Songjie's job.
"You have some rest first. Your blood volume cannot withstand the tossing. Song Jie lost a lot of blood in the battle just now. I'll take you to have a meal later.
Resurrecting them will never be done at once, so you can plan it.
Mushika, I want you to meet the children here, and I hope you can understand my desire to live a happy life."
During dinner, she actually brought Mushika and the two ghosts to the table and had dinner with all the children and mothers' waiters.
Although they had notified everyone in advance, this was the first time they sat on the same dining table with ghosts. Even though they knew that they hadn't eaten anyone for more than 700 years, everyone was still nervous.
However, Emma took the lead in talking to Mushika very boldly, after all, she is a philanthropist who is willing to share love with ghosts.
Compared to Song Jie, Mushika's figure and appearance are closer to people, so she quickly gained a wave of popularity among children.
Song Jie was alone and waited for the meal to start in a depressed manner.
“Thank you for the pure food given by God, please allow me to celebrate my luck at this time.
Thanks to heaven and earth and life. We started to move.”
After the food was served, everyone started to have a formal meal with the two ghosts prayed before the meal.
