Volume 1 Faith Chapter 7: The Offerings That Are Hard to Describe
Wei Dong looked at Ke Xun in surprise: "When did you learn the skill of speaking eloquently?"
Ma Zhenhua shouted: "I don't agree, I want to be in the same group with Brother Mu - Brother Mu, please -"
Li Ziling's eyes were filled with tears: "I want to be in the same group with my little brother too..."
Ke Xun smiled and said, "I am not an unreasonable person. Let's put it this way. The minority obeys the majority. Let's vote on my grouping method just now. Those who disagree, please raise your hands."
Mu Yiran glanced at him expressionlessly again.
This guy knew that no matter whether he agreed or not, he had no interest in raising his hand and getting involved in such matters, so he asked "those who disagree" to raise their hands.
In the end, only Ma Zhenhua, Li Ziling and Wei Dong raised their hands.
Ke Xun: “…”
Wei Dong glared at him: "What are you doing? What's the matter?"
Ke Xun looked at everyone and said, "Nine to three, just divide the groups according to how I divided them just now. Don't waste time, let's go to the east." Then he looked at Mu Yiran.
Li Ziling was a little angry and glared at him : "What are you looking for? How can you find them when you don't even know what those things are?!"
The husband of the family of three, Geng Zhigang, hesitated and said, "Could the five tribute meats that person mentioned be some food? Since they are used for sacrifice, they should be some kind of offerings. Usually, the offerings are fruits, snacks and meat."
His wife also nodded quickly: "Maybe there are many residents nearby. We can go and borrow some from them, and then we can make up for it, right?"
Zhao Dan asked: "So what is Wuhui Lu? A drink or water?"
Zhou Bin thought for a moment: "Where can I get five kinds of drinks in a place like this?"
Qin Ci said: "No matter what, each group should take some utensils and try to gather them together."
As he spoke, he pointed to the corner of the tent, and sure enough, there were some bottles and jars.
Everyone took a few things, filed out of the tent, and went in different directions.
Ke Xun and his group headed east, Mu Yiran walked in front, and Wei Dong nudged Ke Xun from behind with his elbow: "Great, Ke'er, you're determined to defend the ownership to the death. You're very capable. Why didn't I see that you're so capable before?"
Ke Xun ignored him and just said, "It is reasonable for us to try to be in a group with the big boss. I think he has mastered a lot of things in this game. It is right to follow him."
Wei Dong: "You're right. Hey, why are those two girls following us?"
The two stopped and turned around, only to see Li Ziling and Sha Liu walking towards them quickly, but Qin Ci, who was in the same group with them, was nowhere to be seen.
"What's going on?" Wei Dong looked at Li Ziling.
"It's nothing, we also want to look here." Li Ziling glanced at Ke Xun unhappily.
"Where is Qin Ci?" Ke Xun asked Sha Liu.
Sha Liu glanced at Li Ziling awkwardly and answered him, "Doctor Qin said he can go to the south to look for it himself."
Ke Xun understood that it must be because Li Ziling insisted on working with Mu Yiran, and Qin Ci couldn't persuade her, so he just let them do whatever they wanted and went to work alone.
"Then let's go together, there's strength in numbers." Wei Dong said, winking at Ke Xun.
Ke Xun didn't say anything and quickly followed Mu Yiran who had already walked a long way away.
As a result, Li Ziling was faster than him and rushed to Mu Yiran's side in an instant. She wanted to stick her whole body to him and looked at him with a wronged look on her face: "Little brother, I'm scared. Can I go with you?"
Mu Yiran ignored him and just kept walking forward. Li Ziling took it as his consent and followed him closely.
"Hey." Wei Dong patted Ke Xun on the shoulder and jumped to the front. The three of them walked side by side, leaving Ke Xun and Sha Liu behind.
Sha Liu looked calm, pushed his glasses, and asked Ke Xun: "Do you have any idea?"
"Not much for now." Ke Xun said.
"I have an idea, but I don't know if it's right," said Sha Liu.
"Tell me about it." Ke Xun said.
"My mom had an old classmate who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer a few years ago," Sha Liu said. "He was tortured to death and thought there was no cure. But then a Suota sect elder he knew came over and gave him a few Huilu pills. After taking them, he vomited a lot and his cancer was cured. From then on, he believed in this and used most of his earnings to build the Suota Hall."
Ke Xun: "You mean, the Wisdom Dew Pill is related to the Five Wisdom Dews that person mentioned?"
Sha Liu nodded: "After I heard about this incident, I went online to look up this Hui Lu Dan and found a saying that Hui Lu Dan was made from five Hui Lu. When I heard that person talking about it just now, I didn't remember it for a moment, but I felt that it sounded a little familiar. Now that I think about it, it seems to be this matter."
Mu Yiran, who was walking in front, seemed to have heard what she said. She suddenly stopped and turned back to look at her: "Tell me about it."
Sha Liu was a little nervous in front of the serious Mu Yiran. He adjusted his glasses and said, "This Five Wisdom Dew is a little disgusting to talk about. This is what is said on the Internet: Five Wisdom Dew refers to big incense, small incense, red essence, and white essence. These are four of them. Big incense and small incense actually refer to... the feces and urine of practitioners."
Ke Xun: “…”
Li Ziling frowned: "So disgusting!"
Wei Dong: "Big Xiang... Little Xiang... These names are too confusing."
Ke Xun: "No wonder I vomited after taking the Huilu Pill..."
Mu Yiran had no expression on his face. He just looked at Sha Liu and asked, "What are the other three?"
Sha Liu's face was a little embarrassed again: "Red sperm and white sperm, that is... that is... male sperm and female blood."
Ke Xun responded quickly: "...hundreds of children and grandchildren and my aunt?"
Sha Liu nodded embarrassedly.
Wei Dong's mouth twitched: "This wave of relatives is not easy to deal with."
"What is the fifth kind of wisdom dew?" Ke Xun asked Sha Liu.
"Both have male sperm and female blood. I have a feeling the fifth possibility is even more shameful," Wei Dong said.
Sha Liu's face changed. "Different doctrines have different explanations for the fifth kind of wisdom dew. Some say it is big meat, some say it is phlegm, and some divide it into three grades: low, medium and high. The lowest grade is the fat in the meat, the middle grade is the bone marrow, and the highest grade is the brain membrane."
Wei Dong touched the rough cloth bag on his body and said, "I do have some meat in my bag, so I don't have to worry about this. Phlegm and other things are definitely not as good as meat, so I don't think I need to deal with it."
Sha Liu bit her lip and said, "...big meat, refers to human flesh."
Wei Dong shuddered: "What about fat, bone marrow, and meninges... can't it refer to humans?"
Sha Liu was silent, but it was obvious that this was the answer.
Wei Dong looked at Ke Xun and Mu Yiran: "Do we have to kill someone to prepare a sacrifice?"
"I'm not surprised that the world in the painting set such a task for us." Mu Yiran said calmly, "If setting up 'that kind of thing' is used to deprive us of our lives, then the setting of voting and setting up this kind of task is to deprive us of our humanity as normal people. These 'paintings' are to turn us from human beings into demons."
Ke Xun had no expression on his face: "The mastermind who created such a world must be a devil. Only devils like to turn people into devils."
"Let's put aside whether it's a demon or not. Do we really have to kill someone?" Wei Dong said with a bitter face.
Li Ziling's face turned pale: "It doesn't necessarily have to be human flesh. Isn't there sputum? That's better than human flesh."
Wei Dong: "Sister Zi Ling is right! It's the same with phlegm and mucus. It's low-grade so what? Why are you so picky about food?"
Ke Xun looked at him with a wooden face: "So where do you get these five things?"
"Hey," Weidong looked at Shaliu, "What do you think, sister?"
Sha Liu pointed to the scattered tents on the flat ground at the bottom of the slope in the distance, and the Suota Temple with local characteristics: "Big incense and small incense, I think you can go to the Suota Temple to find them. The Suota Temple is full of practitioners. As for the red essence and white essence..."
Wei Dong coughed again and said, "We will take care of the 'white' one, and I'll trouble you two girls to take care of the 'red' one."
Ke Xun looked at him and said, "Which of the remaining shit, urine, phlegm and snot do you want to pick?"
Wei Dong struggled for a moment with a painful expression on his face, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Go ahead and pee. I'll go pee."
Ke Xun kicked him and said nothing else, "I'll take care of the rest."
Upon hearing this, Wei Dong glanced at Mu Yiran secretly, and then gave Ke Xun a thumbs up.
Mu Yiran never said anything. He just walked down the hillside with the four people and headed towards the tents and the Suta Temple.
When they arrived at the place, several people acted separately. The two girls went to the houses to ask for women's blood, Ke Xun and Weidong went to the temple to get the remaining four things, and Mu Yiran was alone, walking around searching.
More than an hour later, Ke Xun and Wei Dong, who looked miserable, came out of the temple, holding the earthen jars in their hands far away from their noses, wishing they could throw them away immediately.
Wei Dong frowned and muttered, "This elder may be a little angry these past two days."
Ke Xun had a blank expression on his face and didn't want to talk.
He saw Mu Yiran bending over not far away, seemingly picking something up from the ground, so he put down the jar in his hand, ran over quickly, and asked him, "What did you find?"
Mu looked at him with delight, then spread out his hands, revealing a small, bright purple flower between his fingers.
Ke Xun: “…” My male god, you are so romantic. I take care of shit and pee, and you pick flowers and grass.
"Mirabilis jalapa." The male god did not forget to give him some scientific knowledge.
"It smells so good." said Ke Xun.
"Have you got them all?" Mu Yiran asked casually.
"I got them all, but don't ask me how I did it," Ke Xun couldn't bear to look back, "especially don't ask me how I got the male semen."
Mu Yiran gave him a cold look, and Ke Xun quickly clarified: "Don't worry, it's not mine."
Mu Yiran's face darkened and he walked away.
It took Sha Liu and Li Ziling a while to walk out of the tent of the residential building. Sha Liu was holding a jar in his hand, and Li Ziling had a nauseous look on his face.
Wei Dong asked hurriedly: "Did you succeed?"
Sha Liu nodded: "Successful."
Like a secret code used by gangsters.
"Sister Zi Ling, are you okay?" Wei Dong stepped forward to show concern.
Li Ziling didn't want to speak, she covered her mouth and shook her head.
It was almost noon when we returned to the big tent, and lunch was no different from the morning.
The other three groups of people also came back one after another, and none of them came back empty-handed. Some brought meat, some brought wine brewed by the locals, and Mu Yiran got lanterns from some Suta temple.
"Xiaomu's group got the Five Wisdom Dew?" Qin Ci was a little surprised when he heard Sha Liu explain the origin of the Five Wisdom Dew.
After hearing this, everyone's appetite, which felt even worse. Zhou Bin and Zhao Dan looked at Ke Xun and Wei Dong with sympathy.
