The dinner was over, and everyone said goodbye and left, but Hosokawa Nobumoto was left behind.

"Rokuro, follow me." With that, Oda Nobunaga took Hosokawa Nobumoto and walked to the inner room.

Hosokawa Nobumoto looked left and right, wondering why he left himself alone, could it be that ... Want to stay overnight? Thinking of this, Hosokawa Nobumoto's hairs exploded.

With a bang, Moriranmaru pushed open a door, and Oda Nobunaga walked straight inside.

"Uh... Next... Also... Get in? Hosokawa Nobumoto asked Moran Maru suspiciously, he looked at the sky, it was bedtime.

"Hosokawa-sama, please." Moran Maru gave a deep salute and invited Hosokawa Nobumoto to enter.

"Uh... All right. Hosokawa Nobumoto straightened his clothes, touched his buttocks, and thought that he must stick to his principles, and when he went inside, he found that there was not only Oda Nobunaga alone, but also many people kneeling below.

"Liulang, come and sit, this is a private banquet, let go." Oda Nobunaga smiled and said in a gentle tone, letting go of the majesty of the day in Ohiroma.

"Yes." Hosokawa Nobumoto sat down inside, and the rest of the people saluted him one after another, including Ikeda Tsuneko, Maeda Toshiie, Sasa Narumasa, and even his two own and Rikiya Yoritaka and Iio Naokiyo were present.

"What is this?" Hosokawa Nobumoto looked around and understood the composition of everyone present, isn't this the team that Keju was at the beginning, and the later members of the mother's clothes.

"Now that everyone is here, let's serve the food." Oda Nobunaga gathered all the former members of the Mother's Cloth Clan, who were his cronies.

"Eat again?" Hosokawa Nobumoto couldn't help but complain in his heart, but thinking about it, these people seem to have been waiting for a long time, and I'm afraid they haven't eaten dinner yet.

I saw that the attendants brought roasted quail and boiled quail eggs, and three large wine cups with gold leaf were particularly eye-catching.

"Rokuro, do you remember the first time we met?" With a smile on his face, Oda Nobunaga took a gold leaf sake cup for himself, and gave the other two to Hosokawa Nobumoto and Ikeda Tsuneko.

"Of course, I remember that the lord also ate a quail under his minister, and his minister was expecting it to lay more eggs." Hosokawa Nobumoto is also very nostalgic for the past, when there was no distinction between monarchs and ministers.

"So, today this quail is for you, and for your eggs! Hahaha! Oda Nobunaga actually said a cold joke for the first time, which caused everyone to laugh, and Hosokawa Nobumoto also laughed heartily, he hadn't been so close for a long time.

"Come on, come on, cheers! Don't get drunk tonight! Oda Nobunaga raised the cup in his hand and drank it down.

"Oh!" And the crowd also raised their cups and followed.

"Good wine! Hahaha! Maeda Toshi's family hadn't drunk so much for a long time, as if they were back when they were children, and they and Niwa Nagahide and Ikeda Tsuneko accompanied the rebellious Oda Nobunaga, fishing in the river with their bare butts, peeking at the big girl taking a bath together, drinking together in the serious ancestral hall, and doing some exaggerated and unbelievable things.

"! Drink! Dry! Ikeda Hengxing, who was overwhelmed by alcohol, was also drunk, and his tongue began to curl.

"Hahaha! Look! Katsuzaburo drank big! Hahaha! Oda Nobunaga affectionately called Ikeda Tsuneko by his nickname, as if he had returned to the field to drink and talk.

"I didn't... Drunk... Not... Drunk. Ikeda staggered to his feet, then sat down again with a thud, causing everyone to laugh.

"Hahaha! You're not drunk? Well, I ask you, do you know what the gold leaf cup in your hand is made of? Oda Nobunaga smiled evilly, with an expression of digging into a joke.

"What... What the? Isn't it just made of clay? Ikeda said nonchalantly.

"Hahaha! Let me tell you, you're made of Asai Nagamasa's skull, I'm Asai Hisasa's skull, and Rokuro is Asakura Yoshikei's skull! Oda Nobunaga smirked.

"Poof!" As soon as the words fell, Hosokawa Nobumoto suddenly squirted out the wine he had just drunk, and Sasa Narimasa, who was still spraying, was all over his face, causing everyone to laugh again.

"Head... The skull..."Hosokawa Nobumoto didn't expect such a cruel thing to happen, and the hand holding the cup couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"What? Rokuro, but you think I'm very cruel? Oda Nobunaga's face sank, the moisture in the air instantly solidified, and everyone was so frightened that they hurriedly lowered their heads, and even Ikeda Hengxing was shocked into a cold sweat, and the wine also woke up.

"No... No," Hosokawa Nobumoto's back was soaking wet, and he didn't know how to take it.

"Humph! Do you think I don't know what you're thinking! Oda Nobunaga roared angrily, ruining the warm atmosphere.

"Forget it, since you can't understand it, forget it. I'm tired too, so let's stop here today, let's all disperse. Oda Nobunaga sighed and waved his hand weakly.

"Yes! Please rest early, and your subordinates will retire! Everyone saluted and exited the room.

"It's... Let's go back..."Everyone look at me, I look at you, the atmosphere is very awkward, and in the end they still separate and go to their own houses.

Hosokawa Nobumoto led the beehouse Yoryu and Iio Naokiyo, and was walking back depressedly, when suddenly, a person caught up from behind.

"Hosokawa Ukyo-sama! Ukyo-sama! "The person who came turned out to be Oda Nobunaga's favorite chef Ken.

"Mr. Jian, but what does the lord command?" Hosokawa Nobumoto asked politely, this person gave him a good sense, and there seemed to be a faint sense of similarity between the two.

"Oh, no, the hall owner doesn't have any orders, it's the villain who has something to find you." Ah Jian bowed, still with that demeanor that was neither humble nor arrogant.

"Oh? What is it? "Nobumoto Hosokawa felt that this person was strange and unique.

"That's right, what happened during the banquet just now, Senranmaru and the villain said. The villain is here to tell the adults that you have misunderstood the hall owner. ”

"Misunderstanding? What does that mean? Hosokawa asked strangely.

"It's about the skull being made into a wine cup, and that thing was specially told by the owner of the hall to be done by the villain, not because of any malicious thoughts, but because of respect." Ken looked at Nobumoto Hosokawa with sincere eyes.

"Respect?" Hosokawa Nobumoto's face was full of doubts, how can this be explained?

"That's right, it's actually a Gabala bowl made by Tantra (Tibetan Buddhism), which is a sign of respect for the dead. So... You misunderstood the owner. After Ah Jian finished explaining, he bowed deeply.

"I see, thank you for your doubts, Mr. Ken." Hosokawa Nobumoto nodded, silently looking at the departing Ah Jian, in fact, there was still a doubt, that is, why did Moriranmaru say this to him? This kind of thing should be kept secret.

Ken, on the other hand, returned to Oda Nobunaga's house and respectfully bowed down.

"Ah Jian, did you tell him?" The corners of Oda Nobunaga's mouth rose slightly, it turned out that this was all arranged by him.

"Yes, the villain did exactly what the owner asked." Ah Jian changed his appearance of neither humility nor arrogance, and treated Oda Nobunaga with special respect.

"Got it, you go down." Oda Nobunaga waved his hand, and Ken respectfully withdrew.

"Hmph... Two types of tantra? I wonder which one you will choose to believe? Hahaha! Interesting, I'm really looking forward to your choice, see if it fits me! Oda Nobunaga laughed maniacally at the end, but there was a message between his words, that is, there were two kinds of tantra. But what they didn't know was that Ah Jian secretly concealed one.

Another tantric sect is the skull cup of the Shingon sect "Tachikawaryu", which, according to the secret rites of this sect, places the skull and worships it for seven years, after which the skull is reinstated and the worshipper is given divine powers. Looking at the high-sounding words, this is actually a cult ritual, and the people who make the skull cup are often for some vicious ideas.
