Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 126: Evil God? Demon?
"God's feast? What God's feast?"

Luo Zhutong not only clamored, but also struggled and resisted.

Upon seeing this, Shang Lu simply dislocated the joints of his hands and feet, making it difficult for him to exert force and thus unable to move.

After struggling for several times without success, Luo Zhutong roared helplessly:

"You dare to oppose us and prevent us from attending the feast. You will be put to death by the gods and the feast will be given to us..."

Shang Lu raised his eyebrows.

From Luo Zhutong's words, he grasped a message: the so-called banquet for gods is prepared by humans?

What righteous god would feast on human flesh and give it to his believers?
What these people in Luojiazhuang blindly believe in is either an evil god or a demon who deceives people under the banner of a god.

The latter is more likely.

Shang Lu was inspired and immediately asked, "What is the name of the god you worship? Where are you going to have the feast?"

However, Luo Zhutong did not answer him, but cursed that he would be executed by the gods and made into a feast.

Soon, Luo Zhutong fell into a strange state of madness.

He was drooling, his limbs were twitching, and he kept shouting things like "God's feast, I want to eat God's feast".

Other people in Luojiazhuang had similar reactions.

As for those who had not been captured or tied up yet, their eyes were red and they looked like crazy.

Their emotions were extremely excited, and they looked like they were ready to tear to pieces anyone who prevented them from attending the divine banquet.

Even more powerful force than usual burst out from their bodies.

Unfortunately, they are ordinary people and farmers after all.

The sudden increase in strength not only failed to help them turn the tide of defeat, but instead plunged them into greater chaos—often causing accidental injuries to each other.

Liu Zhi and Du Feng are different. Not only do they have cultivation, they are also proficient in martial arts and footwork, and have rich practical experience.

Even if he didn't draw his sword, it would be enough to deal with the people from Luojiazhuang.

Not to mention, there were three official horses as ferocious as wolves and tigers charging back and forth.

These three official horses were much more ruthless than Liu Zhi and Du Feng, causing even more chaos in Luojiazhuang.

Shang Lu didn't just watch the show. Seeing that Luo Zhutong refused to answer his questions, he joined the battle.

His joining quickly brought the already one-sided battle to a conclusion.

The people from Luojiazhuang were soon lying on the ground, some with their joints dislocated or their hands and feet tied with belts.

Even the children were not spared.

Because these kids are just as crazy and weird.

Because Du Feng was soft-hearted, he was almost pounced on and bitten off by a child.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough and avoided the fatal blow, but he was also frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.

"Liu Zhi, interrogate them!" Shang Lu called out.

As an experienced official, Liu Zhi had many ways to deal with people, so it was perfect for him to do the torture.

Shang Lu wanted to see how long the people in Luojiazhuang could continue to be fearless of pain.

Du Feng also went to help.

Soon a wailing sound was heard.

It seems that the state of not being afraid of pain does not always exist.

Shang Lu was not idle. He searched everywhere in the manor to see if he could find some clues.

I looked around but found nothing.

On the contrary, Liu Zhi and Du Feng quickly got the result of the interrogation.

"Sir, according to the people in Luojia Village, there is a temple more than ten miles east of the village. In recent days, every night, gods will come and reward blood food for people in several surrounding villages.

The people of Luojiazhuang also go there every night. They call it a banquet for the gods, because eating the bloody food not only makes them refreshed and strong, but also makes them experience the pleasure of being in the fairyland.

And if I don’t go to the banquet and eat blood food for one day, I will feel very uncomfortable…”

Shang Lu looked around and saw that many people from Luojiazhuang had ugly expressions with tears and snot streaming down their faces.

What they kept shouting were no longer shouting, but words like "Give me a bite of divine feast", "Please, give me a bite of divine feast, I can't stand it anymore", etc.

It was indeed as Liu Zhi said, very uncomfortable. Du Feng cursed: "Damn, these people are like possessed when they hear about the God's Feast. Are they eating the God's Feast? Why are they like they have been infected with Diyega!"

"Diyega?"

Shang Lu raised his eyebrows, feeling that the reactions of the people in Luojiazhuang were indeed very similar to those who were infected with Diyega.

The so-called Diyega is a secret medicine that came from the far west.

People who take this secret medicine will be in a state of excitement. They will feel that their thoughts are extremely clear and have a feeling of being in ecstasy, as if they have ascended to the heavenly world and achieved the ultimate pleasure.

After taking Diyega for a period of time, if you can no longer take this secret medicine, you will feel uncomfortable all over, as if countless insects are gnawing and biting your body.

You have to start taking Diyaeger again to relieve these symptoms and regain the feeling of ecstasy.

This is the current situation for the people in Luojiazhuang. It's no wonder that Du Feng would raise doubts.

In Shang Lu's opinion, Diyega is a drug!
The imperial court also realized this and had long ago promulgated laws strictly prohibiting the sale and circulation of Diyega.

But in many places, people still sell diyega.

For example, the Black Wind Gang previously had this kind of business, but they just changed their name and moved the business into secret.

"Did the people in Luojiazhuang say which deity appeared in the temple?" Shang Lu asked.

"It is said to be called the Blood Year God."

"Blood Year God?"

Shang Lu muttered the name and asked the two, "Have you heard of this god's name?"

Liu Zhi and Du Feng both shook their heads.

Shang Lu asked again: "When will the feast of gods begin?"

"Three quarters past midnight." Liu Zhi replied.

Three quarters past midnight is about eleven thirty at night, and it is still early for that time now.

The people in Luojiazhuang began to feel addicted at this moment. Either it was intentional by the Blood God, or they used excessive force in the process of resisting arrest, causing their "drug addiction" to break out prematurely.

Shang Lu immediately made a decision: "Knock out the people from Luojiazhuang and lock them up in a house. We will go to the temple they mentioned to see what the Blood Year God is and what he is up to."

Du Feng bowed in agreement and did as he was told.

Liu Zhize said, "Sir, if the people from Luojiazhuang didn't go, would they be exposed and arouse the suspicion of the Blood Year God?"

Shang Lu thought for a moment and ordered, "Go to the nearby villages and tell them that an official is staying at Luojiazhuang tonight and ask them to offer wine and meat. You can also tell them that the people of Luojiazhuang were punished for disobeying the official, so that they will not be ungrateful."

Shang Lu didn't know whether this would be useful or not.

So after Liu Zhi left, he immediately drew a bucket of water from the well in the village and scooped some water into the conch.

Following Feng Boyuan's instruction, he told Luokou everything they had discovered in Luojiazhuang and about the Blood-Year God, and called for support.

However, after waiting for a long time, there was no reply from Feng Boyuan.

There is a well in the village and a ditch and river outside the village, so the "signal" is obviously not bad.

Most likely, Feng Boyuan encountered something and didn't have time to receive the message.

After a while, Liu Zhi came back and all the people in Luojiazhuang were knocked unconscious and locked up. The time was getting closer to midnight.

Shang Lu didn't wait any longer. He put the conch into his bag, took Liu Zhi and Du Feng with him, and rode out of Luojiazhuang on his official horse.

Soon they arrived more than ten miles east of the village, and on a low mound they saw the temple that the people of Luojiazhuang had mentioned.

This is a small temple, less than one meter high and wide.

There was no name on the temple gate, and inside sat a colorful, headless statue of a deity.

There should have been a tablet in front of the statue, but it has now been destroyed, leaving only a small part of the base.

Shang Lu took Liu Zhi and Du Feng and approached carefully.

The small temple was quiet and silent.

No one was seen coming to the banquet around the mound.

"Did we come to the wrong place? Or did the people from Luojiazhuang deceive us?" Du Feng whispered, holding the oxtail knife tightly.

"Yes, this is it."

Shang Lu stared at the headless statue in the small temple and made a discovery.
