Hire little monsters in your dreams every day

Chapter 17: He finally got his revenge!
Outside the window, the wind howled and the rain poured down.

The ancestral hall was brightly lit.

Liu Ye and Liu Mian stood in the corner of the ancestral hall and saw their fourteenth uncle presiding over the start of the battle.

"Start the music!"

The family musicians immediately began playing bone flutes and earthen ocarinas, and striking chime bells and clay drums!
The heavy music, exuding desolation and wildness, resounded throughout the ancestral hall, lingered around the beams and pillars, and even blocked out the wind and rain outside the window!
"Let's dance!"

Uncle Fourteen, dressed in a blood-red robe and wearing a celestial official's hat with silver and copper flower buttons, slid onto the altar and began to dance!
Eighteen male dancers on the left and eighteen female dancers on the right, waving their arms and dancing to the beat with Uncle Fourteen!
"Initiate the sacrifice!"

At Uncle Fourteen's command, the family's chefs bowed their heads, raised their trays, and carried the sacrificial offerings onto the stage!
It was a plate of heart, a plate of brain, and a plate of liver, bright red, still trembling, and still warm!

"The aroma is coming!"

During the dance, Uncle Fourteen breathes flames and ignites the white bone incense on the offering table!

The smoke rose up and condensed into a human shape, dancing with Uncle Fourteen!
Liu Mian and Liu Ye, who were observing the ceremony, looked at each other in bewilderment.

This ritual, or rather, this sacrificial ceremony, looks so strange and barbaric.

Do the human immortals possess such formations? Do they perform such rituals?

Their grandfather, Liu Sangtian, appeared out of nowhere and explained in a low voice.

"Your fourteenth uncle follows the path of the demon race."

"An eighth-rank celestial official of the demon race, [Blood-eating post station clerk]."

An eighth-rank celestial official?

Liu Ye and Liu Mian looked at each other, both utterly astonished.

How old is Uncle Fourteen?

He's already an eighth-rank celestial official?
Moreover, he was an eighth-rank celestial official from the most ferocious and cruel demon race.

……

Huff...woo...

Under the night sky, the cold wind howled.

Behind the broken wall, eight weasels encouraged each other!

"Waaaaah, waaaaah!"

...They are all the boss's most beloved and trusted servants, and they must stand up for the boss!

"Awooooo, whimpering!"

...The enemy has already fled, leaving only a strange tent behind. There's nothing to be afraid of!

"Waaaaah, aww aww aww!"

...The mink is a brave and courageous animal, definitely not a spineless coward!

The eight weasels, their faces streaked with tears and brimming with anger, each clutching a stone, were about to rush over the broken wall and smash the tent!

At that moment...

Suddenly, a desolate and wild drumbeat came from inside the tent!
The condensed smoke formed a human figure that began to dance!
A sweet, fishy smell wafted in from the wind!

The stone that the eight weasels were carrying fell to the ground with a "plop"...

The eight minks scurried back behind the broken wall, collapsed to the ground, touched their wildly beating hearts, and couldn't help but cry again!
What the hell is this!
That was absolutely terrifying!

……

Inside the ancestral hall, the drums and music never stopped, and the dancing never ceased.

Uncle Fourteen was already kneeling before the offering table, reciting the sacrificial text.

"I humbly beseech Your Majesty, the Blood Rakshasa, to appear before the Lord of the Underworld;"

"When Kan and Li intersect, they capture the physical form; when Xun winds rip through the sky, they open the Yellow Springs."

"Now I offer the soul of Yang, three inches warm, the ointment congealed but not yet cold, the marrow boiling as if being boiled: "

"A boy's heart, a scholar's brain, a pregnant woman's liver;"

"Even with its heart ripped out, it leaps like a deer beating a drum; even with its throat ripped, it still gushes forth the song of partridges in the sky."

"I beg you to ignite the flames of karma, and let a blood-red rainbow pierce the stars for a thousand miles..."

In a corner of the ancestral hall, Liu Mian and Liu Ye's expressions turned strange upon hearing the sacrificial inscription.

The two brothers exchanged glances, both sensing that something was amiss.

The Dao of Immortality has developed for tens of thousands of years, and many sacrificial texts and rituals cannot be completely reconciled.

But the meaning of this eulogy is all too obvious...

This is a prayer offered remotely!
It is the sacrificial text by which the blood-offering messenger remotely offers fresh blood offerings to the great demon through a ritual!

They looked at Liu Sangtian beside them.

But Liu Sangtian nodded.

"That's right. The demon race's blood sacrifice is more powerful than many people imagine."

"The passage of blood sacrifice can even traverse the three realms, span history, and cross dreams and reality."

After explaining for a few minutes, he went to the room next to the ancestral hall.

Liu Mian and Liu Ye seemed to understand, yet also seemed not to.

"So what we set up in the dream is the receiving end?"
"Is what's inside the ancestral hall now the transmitter?"

"But what exactly should we send over?"

Liu Ye was stunned for a moment.

"You said before...you'd send the ancestor over?"

……

Behind the broken wall, several minks listened to the increasingly urgent drumming and music in the distance, growing more and more frightened and anxious.

"Waaaaah, waaaaah!"

"Awoooooo!"

They've already discussed it and are waiting for the boss to handle it!

Even if he doesn't come today, the boss will definitely come tomorrow!

Although I'm very unwilling...

Although it was very humiliating...

But that's all we can do!
The more the minks thought about it, the more distressed they became. They all lowered their heads, and tears streamed down their faces.

"Ow?"

But it was Diao Heihei who suddenly spoke up.

"Aww, aww?"

Eight minks, how come there are only seven left?
Where did Diao Baibai go?

……

The drumming and music inside the ancestral hall grew increasingly urgent!

The rhythm of the dance grew faster and faster, and the dancers' hurried footsteps were like the torrential rain outside the window!

Liu Mian and Liu Ye watched as the ancestor was carried out and brought into the ancestral hall!
Our ancestor was over a hundred years old and was already a great immortal official in Jizhou!
But today, instead of wearing an official hat, his head has been shaved off!
She wasn't wearing a robe, but after bathing and cleaning herself, she was wearing a thin gauze dress!
He sat cross-legged in a huge white disk, carried by eight people, and slowly carried up to the altar and placed on the offering table.

"This……"

"This……"

This is actually going to treat our ancestors as blood offerings and send them to the floating island in the dream world through a ritual!

The sacrificial ceremony continues.

Uncle Fourteen returned to the dance, waving his arms and lifting his hips, becoming one with the male and female dancers!
Liu Sangtian stood beside the offering table, leaned close to the ancestor's ear, and gave his final instructions.

"There are no demons on the floating island in the dream, you will be safe on your journey."

"But be sure to keep the food offering array clean and pure!"
"Be careful, strangers must not turn their backs to the white bones and incense!"

"You must return to the formation before the incense and candles burn out, otherwise you will be sent back by the food offering formation!"
"If we miss the appointed time, no one knows what might happen..."

The ancestor closed his eyes and nodded.

The next instant, the smoke from the bone candles suddenly spread, enveloping all the blood offerings!
When the smoke dissipated, all the blood offerings, including those from the ancestors, vanished without a trace!
……

Below the hill, the drums and music inside the tent grew more urgent, the smoke became more diffused, and the stench of blood grew stronger!

On the other side of the mountain, Diao Baibai quickly climbed down, her face full of excitement!

He grinned, revealing his little sharp teeth!

It just climbed to the top of the mountain and vented its anger for the boss!
At that moment, I felt incredibly happy!

Whoosh!Whoosh!
Two dark figures, none other than Mink Blackie and Mink Muddy, ran to catch it, pulled it along, and quickly slipped away, running back behind the broken wall.

"Waaaaah, woof woof woof woof?"

"Awoooooo?"

The seven sables were terrified and asked Sable White what had gone on.
Mink Baibai held its head high and patted its chest.

"Waaaaah waaaah..."

It turns out that it had just climbed to the top of the hill and peed on the tent at the foot of the hill!

The minks paused for a moment, then grinned mischievously.

I've finally vented all the frustration I felt last night!
comfortable!
The rest, let the boss handle tomorrow!

What they didn't see was that, far behind the broken wall, the tent suddenly emitted black smoke, burst into flames, and was engulfed in flames!
A piercing scream echoed through the night sky!
"what……"
