Madmen don't keep diaries

Chapter 8 008 Church and Temple

Luo Mengzhang stared at Feng Xiuhu coldly, his thoughts racing in his head.

According to his expectations, Feng Xiaohu should not be here, he should be dead.

But he is alive and well now - except that his brain seems to be not working well.

But his poor brain function was probably caused by the beating by He Da Ge, so Luo Meng Zhang seriously suspected that Feng Xiuhu did not follow his requirements in the mental hospital.

As for the evil god - Luo Meng Zhang had never considered this possibility at all, because the magic circle was wrong at all!

Apart from being able to silence Feng Xiaohu, the magic circle couldn't even summon a single hair of the evil god.

According to the original plan, Feng Xiuhu was supposed to draw the magic circle and then be sacrificed himself. In panic, he blew the whistle to call for support. After hearing the signal, the Divine Guards deliberately arrived a step late and finally found Feng Xiuhu's body and the magic circle in the room. In this way, they could naturally pin the crime of summoning the evil god on the asylum.

There is no problem with the magic circle, so the only possibility is that the blood was swapped - but how did Feng Xiuhu realize that it was his own blood?
Feng Xiuhu was unhappy with Luo Mengzhang's cold stare. "What are you looking at?"

Luo Mengzhang suddenly leaned closer and looked Feng Xiuhu straight in the eye: "It's a temple, right?"

Feng Xiuhu almost thought that Luo Mengzhang was going to kiss her, and she was so scared that she fell back and fell over with the chair.

He scrambled to his feet, his face pale: "Is this the kind of relationship we have?!"

Luo Mengzhang was stunned for a moment before he realized what Feng Xiuhu meant, and his expression darkened: "I'm asking you about the temple!"

"do not know!"

Feng Xiuhu yelled back on the spot: "Just tell me the exact meaning of those two streets!"

Feng Xiuhu's anxious look did not seem fake, and Luo Mengzhang's expression eased slightly.

"cough……"

He cleared his throat. "I'm right, but it's also true that He Da Ge is more capable than you... How about this? I'll have He Da Ge return the two streets to you. If you still can't prove your ability by the end of this month, you'll just have to give the land back to him. What do you think?"

"reasonable!"

Feng Xiuhu gave a thumbs up, turned around, patted his butt and left.

As soon as Feng Xiuhu left, Luo Mengzhang called a steward over and said, "Call He Da Ge here."

……

Follow the path out of the gate.

The moment Feng Xiuhu took his first step onto the cobblestone street, his face fell.

He waved to Shunzi, who was sitting on the curb, and asked, "Do you know about the magic circle?"

Shunzi nodded: "I know, it's for communicating with the gods."

Feng Xiuhu was quite surprised - he had been prepared for Shunzi to answer all of his questions without knowing anything.

"Magic formations are very common?" Feng Xiuhu looked up at him.

Shunzi quickly waved his hands: "How can this be seen so often? You can't even say if you see it, whether it will survive or not."

Feng Xiuhu asked again: "Where did you hear that?"

Shunzi said, "Do I even need to hear about this? The kingdom has a law strictly prohibiting citizens from privately drawing magic circles. Actually, few people would do this. If they just draw randomly and nothing happens, it's fine. But if they're unlucky and draw the right one, it would attract the evil spirit, which would be a disaster of the utmost severity."

Feng Xiuhu nodded, then suddenly asked, "What if I use my own blood to summon the evil god?"

Shunzi's eyes widened. "How ruthless must that person be? He's sacrificing himself."

"Um……"

Feng Xiuhu pondered in silence.

He admitted that his brain sometimes went haywire, but he was not stupid.

Just now when they were talking about magic circles in the study, Luo Mengzhang looked at him coldly as if he was looking at a dead man.

The two walked back along the way they came. Shunzi asked carefully, "Brother, where are we going now?" He was afraid that Feng Xiuhu would say he would take him to take a fairy bath again.

Feng Xiuhu was thinking about something and answered irrelevantly: "Do you know the temple?"

Shunzi breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "Of course I don't know this. Even if there are people in Fancheng who don't know the Great Duke, there is no way that no one doesn't know the temple."

"Who said that? I don't know."

Feng Xiuhu was justified.

"Tell me, what is the temple for?"

Shunzi scratched his head and said, "What kind of nonsense is that? What else can a temple be used for? It's for the Goddess of Wind and Rain."

Feng Xiuhu stopped and counted on his fingers with Shunzi, "Look, the temple worships the Goddess of Wind and Rain, and the church worships the God of Mist. So they're not the same person?"

"How can this be the same?"

Shunzi also explained, counting on his fingers: "The Goddess of Wind and Rain is a woman, and the God of Mist is a man; the Goddess of Wind and Rain has existed since the founding of Sails City, while the God of Mist has only arrived in the past two years; the Goddess of Wind and Rain is our kingdom's own deity, while the God of Mist is a foreign deity from the West—they are completely different!"

Feng Xiuhu slapped his thigh - it turned out that Luo Mengzhang suspected that he had betrayed them.

It’s such an injustice!
Feng Xiuhu asked himself, although he was not loyal to the God of Mist, he still depended on the God of Mist for his livelihood, so how could he do such a shameless thing?
This matter has to be blamed on He Da Ge!
If he hadn't collected so much extra silver as offerings, how could I have taken on this big blame?
Feng Xiuhu held his breath and said, "Call all the brothers and go get He Da Ge's explanation!"

Shunzi looked at the sky and said, "It's probably too late today. Let's wait until tomorrow."

Feng Xiuhu looked up at the sky, which was still bright. "How come it's too late?"

……

The two returned to where they came from the bottom city, and Shunzi gave an explanation.

He pointed at the elevator and said, "The brothers are all down there, so calling for help isn't difficult, but there's only one elevator, and we have to pull it up one trip at a time. By the time everyone is gathered, it will be completely dark."

Feng Xiuhu thought so too. He hadn't eaten dinner yet, so he stopped talking and said, "Then let's go early tomorrow."

The two walked one after the other onto the wooden platform.

Feng Xiuhu was walking behind, and suddenly he felt something. He turned around abruptly, and saw a figure flash into the gate of the city wall and disappeared.

Someone following?

Feng Xiuhu wasn't sure, but the elevator had arrived and Shunzi was urging him.

After throwing in three copper beads, the elevator took them back to the floor where they started today.

Feng Xiuhu finally remembered that there was a "monster" living in the building in the village.

"The Owl Man you mentioned today—is that his name? Who is the Owl Man?"

"Owlmen are owlmen."

A sound suddenly came from the corner of the corridor, startling Feng Xiuhu.

He turned around and saw Miao Gensheng walking out from the shadows.

But at this time Miao Gensheng was different from during the day. His originally light purple skin color turned dark purple, and the pattern also dimmed. He almost merged into the shadows.

"Monitor."

Miao Gensheng greeted Feng Xiuhu and looked at the gauze wrapped around Feng Xiuhu's head with considerable concern.

"Owl People is the name you humans gave us. We originally had our own name, the Linyin Clan."

The three of them walked in a line through the narrow corridor and returned to their wooden house.

Feng Xiuhu sat on the bed and stared at Miao Gensheng's face curiously: "The Linyin Clan sounds so nice, why did they choose such a lame name?"

Miao Gensheng shrugged and said, "What can we do? The rules are set by you humans. Only those whose names end with the character '人' are considered human. Take the fragrant deer for example. They originally had their own name, mountain spirits, but because they refused to submit, no one treated them as human. They were just animals and were given the name of fragrant deer."
