Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 155: The Deserted Town
"What are you laughing at?"

Du Feng frowned and asked sternly.

If they were not a group of children, he would have hit them in the mouth with the scabbard of the knife to see if they could still laugh after their mouths were beaten to pieces.

But these dozen children were not frightened by Du Feng. They all laughed and said:
"I laugh at you for overestimating your own abilities and actually wanting to arrest the Master!"

"I laugh at your ignorance. You would rather believe lies than accept the truth!"

"Who is stupid? You can believe such absurd remarks without a doubt, and you still have the nerve to call others stupid!

Look at all of you, you have been deceived into destroying your ancestral graves and killing your parents, and you still don’t know that you are wrong, and you still think you are right!
I will let your parents know what kind of "filial son" they gave birth to in a moment. Wait for your buttocks to be beaten to pieces!"

Du Feng gritted his teeth in hatred.

He didn't hate these kids, but he hated the evil teacher who deceived the kids and distorted their values!
Fortunately, Feng Nan, Liu Zhi and others noticed something was wrong here through the graves that were dug up in the burial forest.

Otherwise, if the teacher stayed in Yunxi Town for a while longer, there was no telling how brainwashed these kids would be and what terrible things they would do!

However, after hearing what Du Feng said, the group of children were not afraid, and they were even proud of themselves.

"Father and mother have long known about our filial piety, and have been urging us to help our ancestors escape quickly so that we can kill them and help them get rid of the suffering of toxins and escape the disaster of imprisonment."

Du Feng couldn't help it and cursed "Fuck".

He immediately turned around and said to Shang Lu, Tu Bin and the others, "It seems that it's not just the children. Many people in Yunxi Town have been bewitched by that evil teacher."

Shang Lu nodded and had someone shut the children's mouths. He didn't want to listen to their nonsense, but he was also afraid that after arriving in Yunxi Town, these children would yell and scream, alerting the enemy.

At the same time, he took out the conch shell from his arms, mounted his official horse, and quickly came to a stream in the burial forest.

After pouring water into the snail, he told Feng Boyuan about the strange situation he found here and asked Feng Boyuan to quickly send a witch officer to investigate and arrest the person together with them.

This time, Feng Boyuan didn't let Shang Lu wait too long.

Just as Shang Lu was holding the conch and heading to meet up with Du Feng, Tu Bin and the others, a distorted voice came out from the conch:

"Got it, I'll send someone over right away...

That so-called Master is probably a famous sophist. The monks of this school are very good at talking and often use words to confuse people. You must be careful not to be misled by him and lose yourself..."

"A famous family's trickster?"

After becoming the county lieutenant, Shang Lu consulted a lot of information and documents in the county government, and gained a certain understanding of the various popular cultivation systems in this world.

In the State of Ba, the most popular thing was witchcraft. Not only were there witch academies to train wizards, but many officials in the court and local areas also came from witch academies.

However, in addition to the mainstream witchcraft, it is not uncommon to see people practicing other schools.

For example, Zheng Quan, the former chief clerk in the county government, followed the path of a Legalist cruel official.

Unfortunately, he did not learn the essence, but only mastered the means of abusing power and making money.

It is very consistent with his name, Zheng Quan, fighting for power.

The famous people that Feng Boyuan mentioned are known for their logic and ability to argue.

It's just that most people in the famous school of thought are thinking about questions like "the sun is in the middle, things are born and die", "nothing is thick and cannot be accumulated, its width is a thousand miles". Through the understanding and enlightenment of philosophical questions, we can understand the truth of the world and improve our own cultivation.

Only those who are cunning and changeable are different.

This group of people belong to the evil category in the famous school.

They use all kinds of absurd and bizarre theories to deceive and fool the people, distort their three views, and make them do all kinds of things that violate moral ethics and laws under their instigation and deception, and benefit from them and improve their cultivation.

The teacher in Yunxi Town used the absurd remarks that digging up graves and destroying corpses and killing one's father and mother were the truest form of filial piety, and deceived children into destroying their ancestors' graves and killing their closest relatives. He really was like a trickster among the famous families.

After meeting up with Feng Nan, Liu Zhi and others who were patrolling outside the burial forest, Shang Lu made a special reminder for everyone to be firm in their hearts, in their world views, and not be confused or manipulated by that evil master's nonsense.

To prevent any accidents, he took out a handful of fine needles made of bones of some unknown animal from the bag on his horse and distributed them to everyone.

This bone needle, called the Soul-Locking Needle, was a magical weapon discovered by Shang Lu when he was taking inventory of the armory.

It is said that it has the effect of making people instantly sober, but even the officials in the armory cannot explain how it works specifically.

The Soul-Locking Needle was developed by the Witch Academy and handed over to government agencies at all levels as a piece of equipment for dealing with monsters and strange creatures.

This magical weapon can only be used by those who have reached the minor success level of Bone-Cutting. It also requires regular maintenance and infusion of magical power to ensure that it will be effective when used.

In the past, in Luoshui County, the county magistrate had no control over affairs, and the chief clerk was only interested in gaining power and money. He did not do much to maintain the magical weapons in the armory, and rarely allocated them to the three shifts of yamen runners and local militia.

Even when Shang Lu took over the armory and started to take inventory, he found that the account books did not match.

There are many magical instruments that are labeled as "damaged", but there is no trace of the damaged instruments.

After a round of interrogation, the storekeeper confessed that the so-called "damaged" magic weapon was actually sold to others at a high price by the chief clerk through the Black Wind Gang and other channels.

Zheng Quan is also very bold. Relying on his omnipotence in Luoshui County, no one dares to oppose him and he dares to do anything!

From this point of view, it is really cause and effect.

If Zheng Quan had paid more attention to the magic weapons in the armory and allowed the third squad and the militia to use them when they went on missions, Shang Lu's original body might not have died, and the series of events that followed would not have happened.

Then Zheng Quan might still be the chief clerk of Luoshui County now, and he might even be rewarded for his meritorious service. How could he be taken to the county government for investigation by the witch officer and be charged with the crime of stealing and selling witchcraft weapons?

Shang Lu also gave Du Feng a soul-locking needle.

Du Feng has been practicing very hard recently, and with the careful instruction of border soldiers such as Tu Xiong, as well as the spiritual liquid reward promised by the Witch Academy, his practice has really improved, and he finally broke through to the minor success of bone-cutting.

Shang Lu also transferred him to a regular service and did not ask him to pay a single copper coin as tribute.

After putting the Soul-Locking Needle close to their bodies, everyone followed Shang Lu and rode their horses to the outside of Yunxi Town.

It was quiet in Yunxi Town late at night.

At first, no one noticed anything was wrong, thinking that it was the middle of the night and people were already asleep, so it was normal for the town to be quiet.

But soon it was discovered that Yunxi Town was abnormally quiet!
There was no one in the houses in the town.

No one!
It was as if all the people in the town had disappeared!
Not only people, but also cats, dogs, birds, snakes and other animals have disappeared without a trace, without a sound...
