Chapter 186: Blood Sacrifice
This "divine blood" was discovered decades ago when Minamoto Yoshinaka (also known as Kiso Yoshinaka, a cousin of Minamoto Yorito) went east to Ezo (Hokkaido).
When attacking Ezo, I found that an unknown monster would appear over there, but it was still not enough to see in front of the Genji family, which was expanding at that time.
After destroying a castle in Ezo, the Genji shogunate stumbled upon the fact that they were "captive" some unknown piece of flesh.
And over there, they will call some of this kind of rotten flesh that seems to be twisted "god fetus", and the use of this flesh and blood can turn people with spiritual powers into "god men", that is, the kind of monsters that are somewhere between weird and demonic.
When the Monster first invaded Ezo, the people on that side didn't know where to get this flesh and blood, so not only was the land not exterminated by the Monster, but it used this "god fetus" to gain the upper hand in the battle against the demons and the Weird.
After the Genji shogunate seized some of the "god fetus", after decades of exploiting it, they also created a method of feeding and using the god fetus.
Such alienated monks are the weapons they created by extracting the blood of the divine fetus.
It is worth mentioning that the alienated person will gradually merge with the weird, either assimilated by the weird or become another weird.
As for whether the use of this method will lead to more serious consequences, whether the monks who are alienated each time will be more strange than they clean up.
These Genji shogunates didn't care at all, they only cared about where they were now, and they didn't care if the consequences of doing so would collapse the fragile triangle of humans, weirdos, and demons.
"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"
They believe in the wisdom of future generations, and they think that future generations will be able to solve problems, and they just need to stabilize the current prosperity.
At this time, the Genji shogunate, all kinds of samurai generals gathered.
At this time, they were already in a state of combat, and some of them carried flags on their backs, tattooed family crests on their bodies, and tied strips of cloth on their heads, with a look of death as if they were at home.
"Gen General, the monk army has completed the combing along the way, and the Gozen ninja has begun to infiltrate Kyoto, and at this time, the flag army (the samurai army directly under the shogunate) can set off to fight the Fujiwara clan." A general with a crescent-shaped hood and a giant bow and arrow on his back saluted.
"Then go out immediately, who wants to be the general this time." Minamoto glanced at the people below.
Whenever this moment came, he had to think of another person, his own brother Niu Ruomaru, who was also the famous General Gen Yoshitsune.
When he was there, the Yuan family won all battles and never tasted defeat. It has countless times more talent and force than ordinary people, and even almost surpasses the great sword master, the force of the legendary sword master.
It's a pity that the source Yijing was given to death by him himself, and such a stupid younger brother is too accomplished, so he can only let him die.
This is also the disadvantage of samurai politics, and it is absolutely impossible for a shogun who rules the country by force to tolerate any of his subordinates surpassing him in force and merit.
This was true of the Genyoshitsune in the past, and the same is true of the Fujiwara clan now.
If you can't use force for yourself, then destroy them all.
And after Yuan Laichao said who was willing to become a general on the expedition, a famous general took the lead, as if he wanted to pick up credit, and wanted to become the general of the expedition to the west this time.
In this era, the country of Sakura was divided into the public family, the samurai family, the temple family, and the common people. The public family is similar to the civil official family, such as the Fujiwara family, which has long controlled government affairs or axiomatic sacrifices.
And the samurai family is a family that relies on the force of war to gain momentum, such as the Gen family, and most of the nobles under the Genji shogunate at this stage.
As for the temple family, it is a family of priests and monks, and the commoners are families that do not have a surname, or have declined.
In the eyes of their group of martial artists, the Kyoto Fujiwara family, a public family that has never been on the battlefield, and their group of martial artists who have risen from the war basically used to be able to pinch to death with their hands on the battlefield.
Especially when they saw the information of the Fujiwara family, there were no more than 200 samurai in the entire family, and even more than half of them were temporarily recruited after occupying Kyoto, and they were even more confident.
Moreover, Kyoto is an old capital, and any general who occupies Kyoto will most likely become a daimyo of Kyoto, and this merit and temptation are something that no of their martial artists can refuse.
"Quiet, since that's the case, then the Kamiizumi family will serve as the general of the expedition to the west this time." Yuan Laichao looked at this group of noisy martial artists and directly designated a person.
A samurai wearing a white turban, heavy armor, and long hair came out, knelt down in front of Minamoto Yorito, and said, "Thank you General Minamoto for your trust, we will definitely ask for the head of the Fujiwara clan." ”
The other samurai families around them all looked at the head of the Kamiizumi family with envy, and all of them basically thought that whoever became the general of the Seishi this time would be the future daimyo of Kyoto.
It's just that because of the people of the Kamiizumi family, they didn't say anything. After all, the Kamiizumi family is said to be a direct descendant of Suza no O, and it is a large family that has survived from the Izumo Province period to the present day.
"Then start the blood sacrifice today, and I wish General Shangquan a smooth expedition!" Yuan Lai threw his wine glass and drank heavily.
All the martial artists began to drink in unison, and they broke their glasses after drinking the spirits.
This time, Minamoto Yoritomo helped most of the Fujiwara family members living in the Shinto capital and pressed them to the gate of the city.
Basically, a large family like the Fujiwara family has some people in every capital city who are carrying out activities, and Minamoto Yoritomo directly tied all the people of the Fujiwara family to the sacred capital on wooden stakes and placed them at the gate of the city.
At this time, a large number of civilians began to surround the gate of the Shendu City, and they looked at the Fujiwara family who were tied to the wooden stake and tortured, and they all pointed at each other, as if they were watching the excitement.
"The Fujiwara clan in Kyoto is disloyal and unjust, and everyone will be punished for it, and now the people of the Fujiwara clan will be punished by heaven!" Someone came directly to the stage and yelled.
Subsequently, the abdomen of these people was cut open by a special "human beheading", and these people wailed, and some even howled for hours before dying of blood loss, and this primitive bloody expedition sacrifice ended.
"If you go on the expedition, you will definitely kill the Fujiwara family in Kyoto!"
"Roar!"
As a human head was thrown out of the city walls, the gates were wide open, and the army of the Genji shogunate began to march towards Kyoto in earnest.
Before that, Genji's ninjas also began to travel to Kyoto to infiltrate and obtain information throughout Kyoto.
A team of more than a dozen ninjas began to make their way to Kyoto through the path carved out by the monks, aiming for the Fujiwara family.
