Chapter 877: Volume One, Corpse-Eating Ritual

Quinn followed Qian Chen and strode in the alley of Kating Street. He carefully bypassed the sewage on the ground and said to Qian Chen: "Marvin? It's hard to imagine you treating that girl so rudely. You don't look like that kind of person!"

Qian Chen turned and stopped, laughing: "What kind of person do you think I am?"

"You are a good person!" Quinn shrugged.

"Then you must be blind..." Qian Chen handed the "Book of the Blood Cup" in his hand to Quinn: "Look at the inner page!"

Quinn took it with suspicion, flipped open the cover, and then screamed: "Oh!"

It was written on it—"Volume One · Corpse-Eating Ritual".

"Damn it, damn it..." He turned around in circles: "How could she give us this kind of thing? No, I'm going back to throw it to her..."

"Trinity, the Cup Mother represents our flesh and blood body."

Qian Chen did not stop him, but said calmly: "Do you know the Sin-Eater?"

Quinn was indeed a devout believer of the Savior. He held the black book awkwardly and hesitated: "I know... but that is a heresy."

"In the orthodox 'Trinity Bible', what belongs to the spirit is pure holiness, what belongs to the world is neutral like a mirror, and our bodies are born from the blood in the Holy Grail. That blood is the blood of the Cup Mother, because we drank that blood, and our bodies were born, so there was original sin."

"The flesh gives birth to senses, and thus there is desire. Desire is insatiable, so there is hunger and thirst."

"Greed, laziness, intoxication, longing... these become the original sin of man."

"This is the basic doctrine of the Orthodox Church... Redemption!"

Quinn was born in a Protestant family of the Orthodox Church and naturally knew these things. He held up the black book and argued: "However, the path of redemption is spiritual, climbing the ladder step by step along the path of spirituality, approaching the light of the Father of Lamps."

The Father of Lamps doesn't want you to approach, because your true spirit returning to the source will only turn into a small dessert for the Father of Lamps.

Qian Chen couldn't say these things. He was still suspecting that the Orthodox Church was a trap set for him by the Mirror and the Cauldron of Creation.

"This is the path of the Father of Lamps, and there is another path, which is the path of the Cup Mother, the path of original sin!" Qian Chen said: "The Sin-Eater is one of them! Original sin is the blood in the cup, so replacing others to draw down the blood in the cup and bearing their original sin is also a kind of redemption."

Quinn stammered. This path is fine in doctrine, but it is simply going to explode in secular concepts.

Because simply put, this path is—eating people!

Qian Chen didn't want to talk, because the root of the Orthodox Church is crooked, no, the world he created was crooked from the beginning, because the essence of this world is a pill furnace, and everything in it is a 'spiritual pill', and spiritual pills are meant to be eaten.

In general, it was Qian Chen who brought everything crooked from the root.

"No problem... I opened my eyes and looked at everything in this world. Every book in the mirror was full of holiness and morality, but at night, holding the Father's lamp, I looked for a long time before I saw that it was full of 'eating people' written crookedly in the book seams!"

Qian Chen quoted the words of a great sage from his previous life, revealing the essence of this world, and even the heavens and worlds.

"The original sin of this world circulates like this. Our bodies produce desires, and because of the dissatisfaction of desires, we become thirsty and hungry, so arrogance, jealousy, anger, laziness, greed, gluttony, and lust are born."

"Human desires are difficult to fill, and human spirituality is dominated by the flesh, so they plunder everything to satisfy their desires. This process is eating people!"

"This is the path of the Blood Cup, using the blood of others to fill our cups, and then drinking it in hunger and thirst!"

What Qian Chen said already contained the secret of the Blood Cup Ritual that gave birth to all dark creatures.

Desire produces hunger and thirst, hunger and thirst demand flesh and blood, fill the cup with flesh and blood, and then amplify one's hunger and thirst in the most stimulating ritual of the senses, and then drink and eat it.

This is the Blood Cup Ritual—the source of dark creatures such as vampires and werewolves.

Their power originates from the original sin spoken of by the Orthodox Church, and eating the flesh and blood of others is plundering the original sin of others, amplifying arrogance, jealousy, anger, laziness, greed, gluttony, and lust, and awakening the blood of original sin!

This path can be said to be the reverse practice of the Blood Cup.

"The orthodox Blood Cup Ritual is to pray for the Savior's blood. We drink his blood and eat his flesh, so we can wash away our original sin."

Quinn understood what Qian Chen was talking about. That is the traditional ritual of the Orthodox Church. After the priest finishes preaching, he will distribute wine and unleavened bread to everyone, symbolizing the flesh and blood of the Savior, and everyone will eat it together.

Looking at it this way, this is also a kind of Holy Grail ritual.

Of course, he didn't think that eating other people's flesh and blood, according to the doctrine of the Blood Cup, was sharing other people's original sin?

If the Savior is also a mortal, then the whole ritual is a Sin-Eating Ritual, where the believers of the Orthodox Church eat the flesh and blood of the Savior and bear the original sin of the Savior, but no believer of the Orthodox Church would think in that direction.

Because according to the doctrine, the Savior is the son of the Father of Lamps, born in the body of a sinless person.

Whether he has original sin is still controversial.

The orthodox Orthodox Church believes that the Savior has no original sin, so he can redeem everyone.

But some Protestants believe that the Savior also has original sin, so he will die in the hands of the Ancient Solar Empire. It was not until he was resurrected that his original sin was eliminated.

Therefore, the Savior who belongs to the spirit has no original sin, which can be considered a recognized theological conclusion.

But in Qian Chen's eyes, the Savior is not his son, and the Blood Cup is something made by the Cauldron of Creation, so original sin must be something the Cauldron of Creation used to severely pit the Savior. The secret of this should be hidden in the Blood Cup Ritual.

Quinn held the book in his hand as if it were a soldering iron and put it back into Qian Chen's hand.

"I'm a bit confused. You take this thing first, and give it to me after I think it through!" Quinn said and wanted to escape back to school.

Qian Chen said calmly behind his back: "This is the extraordinary path, the foundation of the Western Continent system. You can't escape it!"

Returning to the homestay, greeting Mrs. Deborah, Qian Chen took some bread and returned to the attic. He spread out the "Book of the Blood Cup · Corpse-Eating Ritual". The beginning was indeed the doctrine of the Blood Cup.

The Cup is the Shichen of fertility and feasting.

The beginning of the Book of the Blood Cup says bluntly: The Cup, the Mirror, and the Lamp are the three greatest of all Shichen. The light of the Lamp descends, giving birth to the spirit of all existence. The Mirror divides the Spirit Realm and the True Realm, and is the reliance of all matter and reality and illusion.

And the Cup... the greatest of the three, is the mother of life, the source of flesh and blood, and the master of senses.

Qian Chen curled his lips and flipped past those ignorant praises of the Cauldron of Creation.

There are twelve Shichen in the world, six of whom reside in the Spirit Realm, and six of whom sink into the True Realm. The so-called Spirit Realm is the source of all spirituality, the world where our thoughts, dreams, and everything non-material exist.

And the True Realm is even more terrible. It is non-spiritual, it is terrifying, it is the abyss, it is reality!

It swallows everything, located beneath our feet, because it is real, it is nothingness, with nothing to rely on, like darkness swallowing everything.

The Spirit Realm and the True Realm are like two cups, one up and one down, with the cup mouths overlapping together.

The Blood Cup Art drew two three-legged vessels like Eastern wine vessels—Jue, but the cup body had a round mouth, like an elliptical hemispherical cup. One three-legged vessel emitted light, illuminating the cup body, and one three-legged vessel went deep into the dark abyss, completely black.

Two light and dark cups overlapped, with a thin mirror in the middle.

Then on the three legs of the bright cup, the symbols of the Lamp, Mirror, and Cup were drawn.

Below are the Lotus, Ouroboros, and a big tree.

There are six symbols in the darkness as well, but they are all unclear...

This is the 'world' depicted by the Book of the Blood Cup. Above is the Spirit Realm, below is the True Realm, and the thin layer of mirror in the middle is the 'present world'.

Qian Chen finished reading the preface and was noncommittal about this world model.

Although it is generally correct, it is too brief. First, the Spirit Realm has no layers, and the True Realm has no layers. Secondly, some of the most important 'Dao markers' in the Spirit Realm are a bit brief.

All twelve Shichen left Dao markers representing themselves in the Spirit Realm and the True Realm.

Qian Chen remembered that the Yin-Yang Fan left a portal, the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus left a tower, the Bodhi Tree left a woodland, the Cauldron of Creation left a river, and the Kunlun Mirror left a mirror.

And what he left behind was the light source at the very top of the Spirit Realm.

The remaining six Shichen exist in the True Realm.

Some turned into moths, some turned into cold ice, some were in the shape of beasts, some hid in vortexes, some spread their wings like crows, and the last one was a corpse.

Qian Chen simplified them one by one into symbols and drew them on the double-cup diagram.

The simple sketches of moths, crows, and beasts represent insects, birds, and beasts, and the final corpse is human, ice he turned into a snowflake, and the vortex is simply a winding curve.

Flipping to another page, it was a ritual that Qian Chen was very familiar with, and it was also the foundation of all extraordinary things.

The path to walking in the Spirit Realm...

The ritual is exactly the same as walking in the Spirit Realm, also Lamp, Mirror, and Cup, but the difference is that a cup was specially drawn in front of the mirror in the ritual.

And it pointed out a fact that the Spiritual Cultivation Society did not tell—our physical bodies are cups!

"The cup is the womb, and it is also the vessel for holding the spirit. Most magic medicines can be held in the cup and hidden in our physical bodies to be brought out."

"But there are a very small number of things that are not tolerated by the spirit. Most of them will pollute our spirit, or they are simply 'life' in the Spirit Realm, which will attract the invasion of reality. Then we need to fill the cup with our own blood and place it in front of the mirror."

"Then the life in the Spirit Realm can be manifested in the blood cup."

It also described the method of bringing magic medicine and other spirituality from the Spirit Realm back to the material world:

"Similarly, if you want to create a carrier for magic medicine, you must fill the cup with blood, and then throw the body that the Spirit Realm magic medicine can rely on into the blood cup. The magic medicine brought from the Spirit Realm will rely on it."

"But such 'magic medicine' brought out from the Spirit Realm will be polluted by the blood of original sin. Similarly, they will also be stained with reality. All magic medicines descending in the present world must accept the test of the first layer of reality."

"Such polluted magic medicine will have sequelae and costs!"

"Walking as above, the spirit walking in the Spirit Realm will have a cup in its hand, and you can put the things you want to bring back from the Spirit Realm into it! Symbolizing the pure white sparrow-tongue flower, you can soak the white iris in the blood cup..."

"The iris brought back to the present world will be completely dyed red by blood. The pure flower that could originally defend against evil in the Spirit Realm will turn into a red iris symbolizing temptation."

"Red iris and mandrake blood wine soaked together is the blood of temptation..." ===== CHAPTER 879 =====
