Chapter 328: Soul Meal
A long, long time ago, even earlier than the period of the Three Emperors and the Five Emperors, there was a very speechless custom called the Soul Meal.
At that time, it was still a matriarchal clan, with men of low status and women in power. Because of the limited conditions, most people do not have enough food and clothing.
Although the supplies are scarce, if there are guests from afar, they should not be hungry. Since there is nothing to eat, what should I do?
So someone came up with the soul meal, a hospitality method that cannot be commented on.
The so-called soul meal is to use the enemies of the tribe to stab the soul with wooden nails and imprison it. He also made the enemy in a state of kneeling and worshipping, half cutting the flesh and half nailing the soul.
Half of the flesh is cut without any pieces of meat or internal organs, but there is a soul that lingers on the bones. Although the part that was not cut was intact, the soul was forcibly sucked away.
Then use a black plate and a white bowl to buckle up, sprinkle the host's blood as a seasoning, and present it to the guests who come from afar.
This way of hospitality is called the Soul Meal. It was the highest standard of hospitality at the time.
It's just that later in the period of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, the rule of China, men dominated, so this cruel custom from the matrilineal clan was gradually abolished.
But this ancient custom has been passed down for an unknown number of years, and although it is ostensibly forbidden, there are always places where this kind of hospitality is still practiced behind the scenes.
The plate and bowl that I lifted were an old man kneeling. From the center of his eyebrows to his crotch, the left half of the old man was white and black. The right half is fleshy and fleshy, and his hair is furious.
Although only half of his face remained, everyone could see clearly, the old man had gray hair, a flying beard, and a sword hilt without a blade on the wrist of his right hand.
This is the soul meal, which is the highest standard banquet in ancient times. And if it weren't for the deep hatred, he wouldn't be qualified to be the material for the soul meal.
Thinking of the story told by Win Destiny, many people have already guessed that the old man holding the hilt of the sword in front of him is likely to be the old man with the sword who killed the village of life and death and leveled the small cemetery.
I stared carefully at the old man with the sword, his eyes were clear, but his mouth said, "If I'm not mistaken, the child dug up from the graveyard should be it, right?" The person in charge wins the destiny! ”
Winning Heavenly Destiny smiled and nodded: "That's right, it's indeed me." ”
I sneered, "The old man with the sword killed the whole village and destroyed the small cemetery. When I was young, I didn't have the ability to take revenge, but when I grew up and had the ability, I did it to him, right? ”
The smile on Win Tian's face seemed to solidify, and he said, "It's really smart." And I was taught to me by him himself. Later, I wanted to kill him, but he didn't even have the idea of resisting. ”
I took a deep breath, first stopped Zhang Wuren and the three of them, and asked everyone not to be impulsive, and then said, "Okay, let me continue the story." ”
"Back then, the old man with the sword was so grumpy that he made a big mistake, but he was kind by nature, and when he saw that there was still a child alive, he took him back."
"Because this child is taught by the living and the dead, he lives and dies together, and no matter what he learns, he is extremely fast. The old man with the sword named this child Win the Mandate of Heaven, which means that he can win the Destiny of Heaven! ”
Winning Heavenly Destiny snorted and added: "Everything else is correct, but the name is not given by an undestined person, but by an adult." By the way, the adult's name is Tianshengzi. ”
Although I had already guessed it, when I heard the words Tianshengzi, my body still involuntarily trembled slightly. At that moment, I continued: "Although Winning Destiny was carefully taught, he was in abnormal health, and what happened in the small cemetery back then is clearly remembered. He was bent on seeking revenge on the old man with the sword, so while practicing his skills, he was also thinking about how to fully vent his hatred. ”
After thinking about it, the revenge method of soul meal was finally chosen by him. Of course, the ingredients of the soul meal are naturally the old man with the sword, and the object of enjoyment is the natural child, right? There is no way, who let Tianshengzi not come over earlier to stop the killing of the sword-wielding old man? Who made the natural son have to pass by here with an old man with a sword? ”
"Win the Mandate of Heaven and kill Tianshengzi's right-hand man, and then let Tianshengzi eat it himself, thinking about things should be very interesting, right?"
Win the Mandate of Heaven clapped his hands and laughed: "That's right! That's exactly what I intended! Really smart! I can guess anything. ”
I sighed and said, "But what I don't know is why this feast is starting at this time." Shouldn't it have been held thousands of years ago? ”
I already had a vague answer to this question, but I didn't dare to say it. So I asked tentatively, wanting to confirm the authenticity.
As a result, Win Destiny seemed to see my thoughts, and smiled: "Because." ”
I was blown up by what he said, damn it, I guessed it right!
Win the Mandate of Heaven This person is a pervert, on the surface he follows the old man with the sword to learn the arts, and follows the natural son to do things for him. But after he finished his studies, he thought that he could clean up the old man with the sword, so he made him into a soul meal with his own hands, and then prepared to give it to Tianshengzi to enjoy.
As a result, at that time, Tianshengzi was busy dealing with the second life-and-death war with the ancestor of the corpse and Yao Chonghua, and then I don't know what happened, Tianshengzi suddenly disappeared and never appeared again.
So there are no tasters for this dish.
Win Destiny is a very perverted guy, he worked hard to clean up the old man with the sword, and no one appreciates his masterpiece, what can I do? So Win Destiny put away the dish, used black plates and white bowls to keep it fresh, and then went out to look for Tianshengzi everywhere.
At that time, Win Tianming was bent on finding Tianshengzi, so in everyone's opinion, he was still a loyal follower of Tianshengzi. But no one thought that he wanted to find Tianshengzi, but he just wanted Tianshengzi to taste his feast.
It's just that Tianshengzi was heartbroken for the matter of the life-and-death battle, and he didn't know what was going on, so he never appeared again. His followers also died and scattered.
Even Win Destiny withdrew gloomily, and then chose to hibernate itself. Because he knows that a son is born without a father or a mother, and is born to grow, even if it does not appear at this time, it will always appear in the future.
When Tianshengzi reappears, this dish must be tasted by him.
Waiting, waiting, waiting, thousands of years have passed. During the vicissitudes of life, the wind and clouds are changing, if it is not to win the destiny of heaven is the same body of life and death, not afraid of the passage of time, otherwise even the bones would have turned into ashes.
And now, I'm considered by Corpse Silent to be the natural son of this generation, and wants me to pick up my responsibilities again and stop the fight between life and death.
It was only at this time that Win Destiny woke up, and after trying to determine my identity, he began to prepare for the feast of life and death.
Because there are few exorcists at this time, there are even fewer exorcists with skills, so there are more other ideas to win the destiny. Not only did he want me to eat this dish, but he also wanted to get rid of some exorcists who he didn't like through the feast of life and death, and then restrain some demons and monsters for his own use.
Among them, Ji Zhongheng, Jiangdong Muren, Black Devil Water Devil, and the Yin Qi that is always changing, as well as countless pointed white hats, are the foundation of winning the Mandate of Heaven.
I stared coldly at Destiny and found that this guy was staring at me as well. So I instantly understood that this guy was not so much feasting the world's exorcists and all kinds of evil spirits, but rather feasting me alone.
At the feast of life and death, the rest of the people didn't know about the grievances between me and Win the Mandate of Heaven, but after they saw the soul meal that made people feel cold all over their bodies, they also fell silent.
Win the Mandate of Heaven, the main eight pairs and nine dishes, none of which are easy to match. At this time, even if the feast began, no one dared to eat it.
Some of the timid ones even looked up and around, as if trying to find a way out.
It's just that this is above the sea, and there is sea water all around, so even if you want to leave, where can you go?
Win Tian's destiny looked around with his eyes and said, "Everyone, the feast of life and death has officially begun, good wine and good food, let's start now?" ”
As soon as he pushed the table, the black plate and white bowl spun and spun directly in front of the first row of seats. The white-haired old man in a kneeling posture faced the guests like this.
Moonless Master Amitabha sighed and couldn't bear to look at it. But Wu XIV sneered, picked up the chopsticks from the table, and said; "Mr. Win Destiny is so generous and gracious, we will naturally not be polite. Why don't you let me try this dish first? ”
He stretched out his chopsticks, and wanted to clip the flesh of the white-haired old man's cheeks, but he didn't expect another pair of chopsticks to emerge from the oblique thorn, directly blocking Wu Shishi.
After taking a closer look, it was Chen Wuye who said with a smile: "Old Fourteen, everyone is on the murderer list, is there still a boss like me in your eyes?" ”
"With good things, it's a bit bad to think about filial piety to the boss first, but think about eating alone?"
Both sides estimated that they were using real power, and as soon as the chopsticks touched slightly, they snapped into two pieces. I only heard Wu Shishi say angrily: "Chen Wuye! Really have nothing to do? ”
Chen Wuye said with a smile: "I am the first on the list of murderers, but I never take me seriously, and even call him by his name, Old Fourteen, who are we looking for trouble?" ”
Both sides have no chopsticks, and each other is still full of gunpowder, so this first bite of food naturally can't be swallowed. Winning Heavenly Destiny frowned slightly, and the black plate and white bowl turned again, and it had already arrived in front of Temur.
Temur scolded: "Get out of here! Lao Tzu doesn't eat such evil things! ”
Suddenly, the Fallen King next to him said, "The exorcists are famous and refuse to eat people, but our dead from the city of Xudu don't care. Mr. Destiny, why don't we move this first chopstick? ”
In fact, many people can see that this dish is not simple, and it is likely to be a grudge between Destiny and the exorcist. The living and the dead who stood in line were naturally unambiguous, but the rest of the exorcists and evil spirits were unwilling to get involved.
Now the Fallen King took the initiative to ask to eat this first bite of chopsticks, not only made his position clear, but also gave Win the Mandate of Heaven a step down.
Otherwise, everyone will not eat it, and it will inevitably make the face of Winning Destiny dull.
Win Heavenly Destiny smiled and said, "Since Lord Fallen King took the initiative to ask for it, it is naturally to fulfill the wishes of the guests. ”
As soon as he moved, the black plate and white bowl turned.
It's just that before he got to the Fallen King, a hand suddenly stretched out from the oblique thorn and grabbed the black plate directly. The man smiled and said, "Since it's a good thing, it can't slip away in front of me, why don't you let me eat this bite of food first?" ”
Everyone was taken aback when they saw the black plate and white bowl being stopped, and they didn't know who was so bold and wanted to stop the first dish of the fallen king.
But when everyone saw this person's appearance, they suddenly realized that only this person has the ability and courage.
That's right, this person is the leader of the Special Crime Division, Colonel Di Ming.
