Chapter 5 Divination and Judgment
Clearly, Liu Yufei was still conscious. As a strong wind blew up the hillside and brought a slight chill, Liu Yufei opened his eyes. Fortunately, he did not lose consciousness this time.
"Ah! The evil god, the wild boar... Ashitaka..."
Seeing Ye Wufeng's panicked appearance, Ashitaka immediately took a step back, holding his short sword horizontally in front of his chest, as if he were about to fight Liu Yufei to the death at any moment.
At that moment, Liu Yufei didn't know what had happened, but soon he felt a chill in his groin.
"Ah!! What, what did you do to me?!"
"Guest, are you... alright?!"
In this situation, Ashitaka's willingness to speak was already quite bold. Fortunately, Liu Yufei didn't feel any pain in his buttocks, but even so, he couldn't accept being stripped naked!
Immediately, Liu Yufei saw the crowd watching not far away. Damn it, did they even buy tickets before watching? This extreme act of social suicide made Liu Yufei jump up and quickly take a few steps forward, tearing off a fur from the ground and wrapping it around himself.
This fur was laid out on the ground when the priest offered it to the mountain god.
After confirming that Liu Yufei posed no threat, the people nearby came forward.
Liu Yufei knew that he must have been devoured by the black worm and then lost his will.
"elder brother..."
"Don't worry, he's alright?"
Nonsense, are these people even concerned about whether Liu Yufei is alright? Immediately, several burly men stepped forward and lifted Liu Yufei up.
"Hey! What are you doing? Give me some clothes first!!"
The men completely ignored Liu Yufei's struggles, and he was casually tied up and taken back to the village.
Fortunately, the villagers did not sacrifice Liu Yufei after being persuaded by the high priest. Of course, if Liu Yufei's life could truly bring peace of mind, the high priest would not hesitate to do so.
The key issue is that the villagers are now somewhat afraid of Liu Yufei. If he isn't killed, they witnessed what just happened.
Inside the mountain temple, Liu Yufei returned to the same spot. After the two burly men abandoned Liu Yufei, they immediately fled in fear, locking the door behind them before leaving.
"Hey! What are you doing? Do you know what illegal detention is? I'm going to... Hey! Hey!!"
Liu Yufei called out a few times, but seeing that there was no response outside, he gave up struggling.
"System, what's going on? System!!"
The divine tree has borne a fruit. Shall we eat it?
The only response Liu Yufei received was a mechanical voice. Upon seeing this, Liu Yufei's consciousness re-entered the space, and sure enough, there was another fruit under the divine tree. Liu Yufei quickly checked it.
[The Pig-Pig Fruit, Zoan type, Ancient type, Wild Boar form (Evil God form)]
"System, what's with the superfluous details at the end? System!!"
Unfortunately, the system did not respond. But Liu Yufei looked at the fruit in front of him and was deciding whether to eat it or not, because he did not know how the villagers would deal with him. Finally, just to be on the safe side, Liu Yufei suddenly had a thought, and the fruit instantly appeared in his hand.
Liu Yufei immediately took a bite. This time he was mentally prepared, so his body felt better. As the fruit disappeared, Liu Yufei immediately used his ability to heal his sense of taste.
Immediately, a surge of energy entered Liu Yufei's body. This time, the sensation was even stronger than before. His previously thin limbs instantly bulged, and Liu Yufei felt his body brimming with power.
"Haha, this feels so damn good!!"
Liu Yufei then clenched his fist, and with the force he exerted, his bones creaked and cracked. He hadn't felt this vibrant energy in a long time.
At this moment, only one sentence echoed in Liu Yufei's mind: I want to fight ten of them!
Of course, Liu Yufei quickly recovered and realized that the feeling he had just experienced was an illusion caused by the sudden power. But now Liu Yufei knew that he was capable of protecting himself.
That evening, just as Liu Yufei was wondering what to do for dinner, a group of people burst in, which startled him quite a bit. But he quickly realized that he was no longer a pushover.
"The High Priest, he..."
When the old man leading the group saw Liu Yufei's appearance, he exclaimed in surprise. Liu Yufei's body had grown considerably, and his solid muscles were practically bursting out from under his fur coat.
This obvious change made the villagers behind Liu Yufei even more fearful, while the high priest looked at him and said:
"Guest, I'm so sorry for neglecting you!!"
"Is there anything to eat?"
Liu Yufei didn't think much about it and directly opened his mouth to ask for food. As if they were prepared, they immediately handed him a thin pancake. Liu Yufei didn't care about elegance anymore and started eating it.
Then the old men lit the torches around them, and soon a young man came in. It seemed that they had already discussed how to judge Ashitaka, the sinner who had offended the gods.
Ashitaka knelt on the ground, facing the high priest. To his left were the village's wise men, and to his right was Liu Yufei, who was cooking.
Seeing that the scene was a bit out of place, Liu Yufei immediately put down his pancake as well, but luckily he had already eaten one.
The high priest also took out several bone-like objects and held hollow nuts that looked like walnuts in her hands, which made a constant cracking sound as she shook them.
The high priest then threw the props in his hand to the ground. This was probably the most primitive way of divination. Liu Yufei scoffed at it, but the old man opposite him looked at the ground with some worry.
Ashitaka also wore a serious expression. Whatever fate awaited him, he would accept it. As the young clan leader, Ashitaka knew what the villagers were thinking at this moment.
When he decided to slay the god during the day, he had already foreseen his fate, but Ashitaka had no regrets and was now solemnly awaiting the priest's judgment.
The high priest remained silent, tossing the jade stones back and forth across the patterns at his feet.
Of course, as a priestess, she knew what her system was all about. The result of divination was not important; what mattered was calming people's hearts. This was the ancients' explanation of the Way of Heaven.
Such interpretations are only valid for those in power, just like the emperors of ancient times. Only the emperor had the right to interpret the ways of heaven because he was the Son of Heaven.
Do you know the official who died at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty? Although the Taoist priest Jiajing said that his crime did not warrant death, he actually committed a capital offense because he interpreted celestial phenomena on behalf of the emperor, so he had to die.
The row of elderly men next to him, including Ashitaka, were all of advanced age and naturally did not believe in this kind of thing.
But it was precisely because Ashitaka knew this that he was willing to accept his fate, because outsiders didn't know that they needed to use this method to rule the village and maintain order.
"This is bad!!"
The high priest muttered to herself, "Actually, no one understands this thing except me. It's just two skins, one on top and one on the bottom."
"This wild boar god came from the distant western region. Because he was seriously injured and his body was rotting, he harbored resentment and thus transformed into an evil god, causing countless disasters along the way."
