Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 279 Chaos Power
After reading the interrogation statement, Shang Lu raised his head and glanced at the village chief and others.

"A bunch of idiots, in order to satisfy their own rising desires, they would even sacrifice their closest relatives to the mountain ghost.

Their humanity has also been eroded in these repeated sacrifices, so it's no wonder they have become neither human nor ghost. They deserve it!"

Shentu also thought so and nodded in agreement:

“Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the mountain ghost pretending to be a great immortal is deliberately trying to arouse and exploit the desires in people’s hearts.

It's ridiculous that these people don't think the way of sacrificing blood relatives is weird, but instead regard mountain ghosts as real immortals."

“It’s not that they don’t understand, but they are blinded by desire.

"Whatever you ask for, you will get it... Just these four words are enough to make people take risks, no matter how strange and evil the thing is."

Shen Tu was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help thinking, if that mountain ghost really would grant his every wish and help him break through his cultivation, get promoted and make money... would he also be like these people, sinking deeper and deeper into it?
Shang Lu didn't know what he was thinking, and frowned and said, "But there is one thing I can't figure out for the time being."

Shen Tu quickly cleared his mind of distracting thoughts and asked, "Sir, what is the matter?"

Shang Lu said, "Why would this demon pretend to be an immortal and answer all prayers? Is it just for blood and souls? With its ability, if it wants to eat people, why would it go to such trouble?"

After hearing this, Shentu also fell into deep thought.

"Your Excellency suspects that the demon pretending to be a great immortal has other intentions?"

Shang Lu nodded slowly: "There must be some unknown secrets hidden in this!"

He put away the confession in his hand and ordered in a deep voice: "Ask for the detailed address of the temple in the mountain, and then ask about the specific situation in the temple. In particular, ask clearly whether there is anything strange or weird in the temple."

We must investigate that temple.

So you have to ask clearly first and don't make any mistakes.

Shentu crossed his hands and took the order, and immediately conveyed Shanglu's request to several thieves, asking them to continue interrogating the villagers of Xipinggou.

Youqiudao brought a chair to Shanglu.

Shang Lu didn't hesitate and sat down with his arms and legs spread out.

It seems that he is watching every move in the village, but in fact he is using the method of internal observation to check the condition of his internal organs.

The chaotic aura that Shang Lu had just swallowed into the five internal organs using the Lingyuan Xianxi Jue, after being separated, transformed and absorbed by the five internal organs, actually gave rise to a ray of divine power.

Although it was very weak and chaotic, it was undoubtedly divine power.

This chaotic divine power even wanted to pollute the power in Shang Lu's body.

As a result, it was suppressed and purified by the internal organs and is gradually returning to normal.

This made Shang Lu couldn't help but feel fortunate that the "spiritual body" that was parasitic in Liang's mother's body had not yet taken shape and did not contain much chaotic divine power.

Otherwise, if his internal organs cannot be suppressed and the power in his body is polluted and becomes chaotic, he will probably become a monster like the village chief and his companions.

However, this chaotic divine power also made Shang Lu certain that the immortal worshipped by the villagers of Xipinggou was the three-legged unicorn mountain ghost that Zhao Qi had secretly sacrificed blood to before!

Because Wang Chao said that the great wizard Zhongli and his men had found out that the mountain ghost possessed a chaotic divinity.

So, mountain ghosts pretending to be gods and immortals, responding to believers' requests and deceiving them into giving them luck, blood and other sacrifices...could it be related to the chaotic divinity?
As Shang Lu thought about it, he activated the breathing method in the Dragon and Tiger Power to help the five internal organs suppress and purify the chaotic divine power, refine it, and integrate it with the essence and divine power in the body.

Time flies quickly during this process.

In a blink of an eye, it was already 2:00 PM.

About twenty people appeared outside the wall of the house in Xipinggou.

The leading few people were wearing the black robes of officials and wielding oxtail knives and water and fire sticks.

The group of people soon arrived outside the tightly closed gate of the village. Just as they were about to knock on the door, they saw that the gate was open.

They thought there was someone behind the door, but when they looked inside, there was no one there.

They looked at each other in surprise, and suddenly a voice was heard:
"Come to the village gate." The group of people looked in the direction of the voice and saw a paper man pasted on the village gate.

“Is it the paper man who is talking?”

"Monsters... there are monsters!"

These people were immediately startled.

Fortunately, the officials in black clothes had some knowledge and shouted, "What are you yelling about? This is a paper figurine made by the witch!"

Then, they bowed to the paper figurine and said repeatedly, "Yes, yes, we will obey your orders and rush to the village to pay our respects to the witch officer."

He turned around and called out to the people behind him to hurry up and not keep the witch officer waiting for too long. If they made the witch officer unhappy, all of them would be in trouble.

Soon, about twenty people entered Xipinggou.

The heavy gate of the village slammed shut under the control of the paper man, which scared the group of people again and made them scream in surprise.

These people had been to Xipinggou before and knew where the village dam was.

But this time when they walked in Xipinggou, they felt a creepy feeling.

There was clearly no one on the road, but they felt as if countless pairs of eyes were staring at them, making them dare not move, or even look around.

Soon, the group arrived at the village dam and saw Smilax glabra sitting on a chair from afar.

We also saw the villagers who were detained in the village dam.

I also saw Qiu Dao being tortured.

Every situation here was beyond the group's expectations, scaring them so much that they trembled and were at a loss.

It was not until Shang Lu waved at them that they came to Shang Lu tremblingly, bowed, and tremblingly revealed their identities.

The group of people who came were none other than the mayor of Yunhe Town, Qiu Dao, and the militiamen they had temporarily recruited.

"Do you know why I called you here?" Shang Lu asked.

"No...don't know."

The mayor of Yunhe Town is called Geng Feng, a wealthy local who likes to wield swords and guns. He hired people to teach him how to practice martial arts and boasted that he had no rivals in Yunhe Town.

But when he saw Shang Lu at this moment, he trembled and didn't even dare to breathe.

It was not because of Shang Lu's official position, but because of the aura emanating from Shang Lu, which made him feel like a rabbit seeing a tiger.

Fearing that Shang Lu would get angry, Geng Feng hurriedly explained: "Please forgive me, sir. The officer who came to deliver the message only told us to hurry to Xipinggou, but didn't tell us what happened..."

Shang Lu narrowed his eyes and stared at Geng Feng and his gang. "The people here worship demons and perform obscene rituals, offering blood sacrifices to a demon called 'Biying Daxian'. Don't you know anything about this in your town?"

Before Geng Feng could say anything, several people behind him either had a changed expression or flickered eyes.

Shang Lu immediately pointed out these people and ordered Qiu Dao to capture them. He also frightened Geng Feng and others, who quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed for mercy.

"Get up."

Shang Lu did not embarrass Geng Feng and the others, but just said coldly:
"You didn't notice what happened in Xipinggou, which is the first crime. Your subordinates sacrificed to the demons without noticing, which is the second crime.

Now I give you a chance to redeem yourself. Keep a close eye on these people and don't let any of them escape. Otherwise, you will be punished more severely!"

Geng Feng and others responded hastily, and in order to atone for their sins, they all put in their utmost effort.

With their assistance, Shentu will be able to allocate manpower to conduct further searches in Xipinggou.

Take a look here to see if there are any other weird things.
