Chapter 359: Slime, You Still Have Such a Purpose
"Please follow me. The priest led the snow leopards into the assembly hall, paid the money at the door, and walked in with the priest who led the way.
How did it feel like coming to eat a pay-first-serve buffet, Huo Chi glanced at the meeting hall, on top of the two long tables, there were some food.
There were small doors on both sides of the assembly hall, watching the priests go in and out, Huo Chi guessed that there were other larger rooms in this assembly hall according to the size of the inside of the materials, and this was just a canteen.
"Please put the package on the shelf over there, wash your hands over there, pick up your own lunch, please feel free, just call me after you have eaten. The priest himself went to dinner, leaving behind the bewildered Snow Leopards.
"Then let's eat first. Fu Ze knew that he couldn't run around now, so he had to put down his backpack, wash his hands and go with the others to get lunch.
Huo Chi took the plate and looked at the meal in front of him with some worry, this is really an ascetic meal, it is really miserable.
The bread is blackened, dry bread sticks, and there are only two kinds of dishes, one is boiled bean soup and the other is pickled cucumbers and other pickles.
Don't you have that many slimes? Why don't you try how to eat slimes? These things sell for 500 Swiss dollars, which is so dark.
However, Huo Chi still took advantage of the unpreparedness, took a few more loaves of bread, and stuffed them into the gourmet bag, these black breads are still good for breadcrumbs.
Huo Chi put the plate on the table, picked up the dry bread and took a bite, it was so hard, quickly ate the boiled beans, poof! It was so light! Eat some pickled cucumbers, dizzy! So salty!
He couldn't help but look up at the priests next to him, but saw that they were all very skilled in dipping dry bread in the bean soup, soaking it until soft, and then eating a bite of bread and then a bite of pickles.
The priests were expressionless and did not speak, but ate their bread in silence. At this moment, Su Qingqing carefully poked Huo Chi with his elbow.
Huo Chi looked at Su Qingqing, but saw her glancing to the right, Huo Chi hurriedly looked over, and it turned out that the Ryan expedition members who came first were also eating lunch there.
Are they really lost, Huo Chi felt that the members of this expedition were quite suspicious.
As semi-professional soldiers, the expedition members are only slightly more capable than the militia, and compared with the regular army, most of the expedition members are much inferior in terms of physical fitness, skills and even equipment.
Moreover, the personnel participating in the expedition are also mixed, and there are basically no requirements for age, gender, height and weight.
Therefore, it is common for expedition teams to gather tall and short men and women. But this group was different, they were almost the same height, they were all about the same size, and the five of them sat on the edge of the long table, which looked almost carved out of a mold.
Even their every move of eating was uniform, which was too far from an ordinary expedition.
However, without them, the Snow Leopard Team would not dare to enter the Dominion Town rashly, Huo Chi shrugged his shoulders, just be careful, what do they have to do about the Snow Leopard Team.
While Huo Chi was thinking, several older priests walked in, two of them carrying a large tray covered with a white cloth.
They walked straight to the front of the cafeteria, where there was a long table that was slightly higher, and after the two of them had carefully placed the tray on the table, the other older priests stood respectfully in front of the table.
Several of the priests closed their eyes and muttered words in their mouths.
Huo Chi couldn't help but think of his previous experience in the Demon Protection Society, and those guys also used their meals to make a name for themselves.
However, the Gelug priests did it themselves and did not force others to listen to them. Even the old clergy did not ask the other clergy who were eating to participate, and appeared very free.
Huo Chi shoved the last bite of black bread into his mouth, his stomach was already full. He quietly looked at the old priests in the distance, trying to see what they were doing.
After a while, several gray-bearded priests had finally finished chanting, and they carefully lifted the white cloth from the tray in front of them.
Huo Chi took a closer look and almost didn't laugh out loud, there was a very large slime on the wooden tray!
The slime on the tray is light green in color, a type of sap slime, which is a very common variety. The slime was motionless, apparently dead.
The old priest set aside the white cloth and drew the small dagger from his waist, carefully cutting the slime in half as he chanted something.
The slime's semi-liquid bodily fluids flowed slowly, and another old priest on the side immediately took a large bowl and filled the viscous bodily fluids in the bowl.
The old priest held the bowl in one hand, but dipped the other hand in the slime's bodily fluids and wiped it on the bald heads of the others.
What the hell? Huo Chi was dumbfounded, it turned out that this slime was used to make some kind of sacrificial supplies, and they smeared the slime's bodily fluids on the bald head, which should be some kind of ritual.
After the old priests had done this, they covered the slime with a white cloth and carried the slime out again, while the large bowl filled with the slime's bodily fluids was left on the wooden table.
Soon a few priests who had eaten lunch, after washing their hands, walked to the large bowl, dipped their hands in a little slime body fluid, wiped their foreheads, and then left the cafeteria.
The Snow Leopards were almost finished eating at this time, and the priest who was leading the way took the initiative to come over, and Huo Chi noticed that there was also a slime on his bald head.
"Have you eaten well?" asked the priest.
"Well, it's done. The men put their knapsacks back on their backs and followed the priest out.
Huo Chi couldn't help but ask, "May I ask if that is the slime body fluid on your head?"
"It cannot be said that this is holy water, which gives us greater insight into the doctrine. The priest said very seriously.
Isn't holy water just slime body fluids? Huo Chi really didn't understand, why did these ascetics use slime body fluids as holy water?
"Before you didn't have monsters, how did the holy water come from?" Huo Chi wilted.
"I've always used morning dew before, but thanks to the slime, this is the real holy water. Everyone, please stay here. The priest led them to a small hut.
Huo Chi noticed that the members of the Ryan expedition were taken to a wooden house not far from here, and the men quickly entered the house and never came out.
"Do you need to serve dinner?" the priest looked at the crowd.
"No, no, we have a small appetite, and we don't expect to be hungry at night. Xiao Jian hurriedly refused, if he ate these bread and beans for dinner, he would rather be hungry.
"Okay, then I'll take my leave. As soon as the priest was about to go out, he remembered something: "Please stay in the house as much as possible, the place of practice needs to be quiet, please don't disturb others." The priest said and prepared to leave.
