lamb
It has no label on its head.
Ruan Zhaozhao walked up to the lamb and asked, "Who are you?"
"Me? I'm the Lord God's messenger in this world." The lamb said with grievance, "But I haven't received any new instructions in a long, long time..."
"Why did He send you to this world?"
The lamb raised his dark face and said, "Of course, I'm here to help the people of this world become believers of the Supreme God and live a better life in the future!"
Ruan Zhaozhao thought for a moment and asked, "Do you think turning into mutton would be a good life?"
lamb:"?"
It stuttered, "You, you, you don't want to turn me into roast lamb, do you?!"
Ruan Zhaozhao: "Why can't it be steamed?"
The lamb was about to cry: "I don't taste good when steamed!"
system:"……"
I don't know why I feel a little happy. Finally, a non-human species has experienced what it feels like.
"Zhao Zhao, everyone has spit out their cakes, you..."
Yu Xiaoye ran in happily, but saw Ruan Zhaozhao talking to a little sheep. He couldn't help but slow down and rubbed his eyes, "Zhaozhao, is that a sheep?"
The lamb bleated guiltily.
Ruan Zhaozhao grabbed the lamb and threw it up.
She jumped back up and asked the lamb, "How long have you been here?"
The lamb flexed its hooves and said, "It's been... a thousand years..."
Yu Xiaoye squatted down and touched the lamb's head. "Why are you staying here?"
The lamb stared at him blankly. "I am the messenger of the Lord God in this world. I communicate with the people of this world on His behalf. After He descended here, I 'moved' the city here..."
Yu Xiaoye sighed, "I've been waiting for a thousand years. How pitiful."
The lamb's eyes suddenly filled with tears and he burst into tears.
According to the lamb, as the messenger of the "God", after it came to this world, it was trapped underground with the sleeping clone of the "God".
It was not until five hundred years ago that the Gong family branched out and established their home here and discovered it.
They believe that the "God" is omnipotent and is the "way of salvation" that transcends the evil and righteous paths.
So they built an "ancestral hall" and held sacrifices every hundred years or so to obtain blessings from the "Gods".
During the first sacrifice, the "God" did not show up, but gave the lamb a torn "book".
Xiaoyang gave the "book" to the Gong family. As a result, 90% of those who read the "book" went crazy, and only one or two understood the contents and claimed that this was the most powerful "kung fu" in the world.
During the second and third sacrifices, the "God" still did not show up, and gave the remaining part of the "book".
The fourth time, the Gong family found a way to let the "God" come, which was to sacrifice blood-related brothers and sisters among their descendants, among which the brothers were "containers" and the sisters were "mediators".
For the next hundred years, the Gong family continued to try, sacrificing countless lives. It wasn't until five years ago, during the fifth sacrifice, that they came closest to "success."
Yu Xiaoye: "Why did they fail five years ago?"
Little Lamb: "Because the mother of the siblings who were sacrificed that time was secretly replaced by me. But she read the 'book' and went mad, and hanged herself in the ancestral hall."
Ruan Zhaozhao: "But you said 'closest'...?"
"That's right, because the 'God' has sensed their sincerity. Five years ago, a part of Him came to this world, but the 'vessel' escaped, and He had to remain in the 'medium'. This time, all the Gong family has to do is complete the sacrifice and allow Him to descend into this world intact."
·
Gong Ziyu walked in front, followed by Xue Baifeng and his group.
One disciple wanted to fly over, but encountered the same problem in mid-air as when he was looking for the main gate. He could not fly out no matter what he did, let alone reach the ancestral hall.
9527 looked at Gong Ziyu's back and touched his neck.
She learned from the lesson of being "Jiang Ruoshui" last time and deliberately used two bodies this time.
One is the body of "Gong Zixue" that had been used before, and the other is the spare "Xue Baifeng".
"Xue Baifeng" is a Grandmaster of the Earth Level, and he is not at risk of being exposed like "Jiang Ruoshui". This time he will definitely be able to successfully complete the mission and escape unscathed.
She placed her fingers on her arm, tapping them rhythmically, her eyes glancing towards the floating system panel on her right.
Mission Objective: Complete the ritual of summoning the demon god and let the demon god possess Gong Ziyu's body
Mission Indicators: Rebuild the Demon God's clone (current progress: 0/3); Gong Ziyu's "Causal Killing Value" reaches 100 (current progress: 60/100)
Mission Reward: 30 million bonus (deposited into the employee account of the Black Bureau by default); Excellent employee evaluation +1
At this time, Xiao Yichen pointed to the sky and said, "Elder, it's dark."
Only then did everyone realize that the sky had suddenly darkened.
Fortunately, the lanterns were still lit, but the red lanterns illuminating the darkness were really a bit creepy.
Gong Ziyu knew that time was running out.
He quickened his pace, walked out of the corridor and came to an empty path.
Everyone thought they had left the Gong family, but the sky remained unchanged and there were high walls on both sides, so it was obvious that they were still in the Gong family.
Suddenly, there came a series of recitation sounds that gave people a headache.
Suddenly, two rows of red lanterns floated over from the distance.
When we walked in, we found that they were members of the Gong family. There were men and women, old and young, holding red lanterns and chanting strange words.
Xiao Yichen heard a painful groan and looked back to see that his fellow disciples had all fallen to the ground and fainted.
But he couldn't feel anything. When he was a little surprised, he felt dizzy and fell to the ground.
9527 knocked Xiao Yichen and Gong Ziyu unconscious before turning around to look at the housekeeper.
The housekeeper ordered someone to lift Gong Ziyu up.
A towering black iron gate suddenly appeared on the wall.
The door slowly opened, and everyone spoke incomprehensible words, danced strangely, and carried Gong Ziyu into the door.
The butler gave 9527 a sinister smile. "The eldest lady has instructed that you are a distinguished guest and are here to observe the ceremony today. You must not be neglected. Please follow me."
·
The lamb chattered on for a long time.
Ruan Zhaozhao dozed off while listening.
Yu Xiaoye listened attentively for a long time and finally understood, "So, the sacrificial process and required offerings are all written in that 'book'."
The lamb hesitated, "Actually, I don't know. That 'book'... I can't understand it."
Yu Xiaoye was stunned. "You and the 'God' are from the same world, how could you not understand?"
The lamb lowered its head. "There are many 'pioneers' like me in our world. As long as we can help the 'God' increase his followers, we can get some rewards. I would rather stay here than stay at the bottom of the city and dig in the mud..."
Ruan Zhaozhao woke up suddenly and wiped the saliva from his mouth. "Are you also a working sheep?"
The lamb was confused. "What is a working sheep?"
Yu Xiaoye also thought of Cui Fuer and Yuan Huaer. "They did a lot of things for others, but not only did they get no benefits, they were also given empty promises."
lamb:"……"
It is a sheep, but it feels sad.
Ruan Zhaozhao pondered, "Xiaoyang, although you haven't read that 'book', you must be familiar with the Gong family's sacrificial ritual process, right?"
The lamb nodded.
Ruan Zhaozhao snapped his fingers and said, "Okay, do you want to be my little brother?"
The lamb was stunned. "What is a little brother?"
Ruan Zhaozhao: "If you become my little brother, you won't have to be a roasted whole lamb, and you won't have to dig mud anymore. You can also eat... Do you want to eat bamboo leaves and bamboo shoots?"
The lamb asked cautiously, "What are bamboo leaves and bamboo shoots?"
It had been trapped here, seeing very little. The Gong family naturally believed that as a messenger from the "Gods," it had no need for worldly food. Therefore, the lamb had not eaten for a thousand years.
I know about "roasted lamb" because I have seen it in sacrifices.
Ruan Zhaozhao suddenly remembered that there were rice dumplings in his backpack. "Brother Xiaoye, give it a rice dumpling."
Yu Xiaoye took out the rice dumpling, opened it and handed it to the lamb.
The lamb took a bite of the rice dumpling with doubt.
Its eyes lit up, and it ate the whole zongzi in a few bites. "Delicious! Is this bamboo leaves and bamboo shoots?"
Yu Xiaoye explained: "This is not..."
"Almost. There are others. Anyway, as long as you become my little brother, there will be a lot of delicious food in the future." Ruan Zhaozhao interrupted him, "If you agree, we can also give you some other things to try now."
Then he asked Yu Xiaoye to bring out a few more bags of pastries.
At the end of the meal, the lamb burst into tears. Holding the cake, he puffed up his cheeks and shouted incoherently: "Woo, woo, it's so delicious, so happy, what kind of life have I lived for the past thousand years——"
After tasting the delicious food, the lamb decided to follow Ruan Zhaozhao from then on!
It was full and had a serious expression on its face. "Master, if you have any questions, just ask."
Ruan Zhaozhao: "Tell me about the sacrificial process."
It turned out that right above their heads was the ancestral hall that the Gong family had gone to great lengths to build.
Five years ago, Gong Ziyu's mother hanged herself in the ancestral hall, disrupting the sacrifice. At that time, his sister Gong Zixue, whose sanity had been destroyed by the "God", tried to kill him to complete the sacrifice, but he killed her in return.
Afterwards, Gong Ziyu set a fire and escaped from the ancestral hall.
After that, the Gong family rebuilt the ancestral hall, reinforced the high walls, and surrounded it tightly on all sides.
There was also a specially built thick wall connecting to the underground, and only the fat woman knew how to get in and out.
Normally, they would go underground, cut off a portion of the "flesh" from the body of the "God", make it into cakes, and eat it all. They said that this would show their piety and help them master the "top-level skills" bestowed by the "God" more quickly.
What they were reciting was the contents of the "book," modified by those who had read it and not gone mad. If they read it enough, they would go mad.
At the beginning, the Gong family's sacrifices were no different from those in other places. They all offered three kinds of animals and five kinds of grains, arranged sacrificial utensils in front of the ancestral tablets in the ancestral hall, and used rituals, music and dance to please the gods.
After doing all this, things started to go wrong.
