Confucian and Taoist scholar

Chapter 122 Lu Zheng Kills the God
The old man looked at the group of people in green clothes in front of him, and for a moment he didn't know how to explain that he was the god they worshipped.

Besides, it seemed that his explanation would do him no good.

So the old man chose to remain silent and did not say anything.

Lu Zheng saw that the old man said nothing and was not in a hurry.

Lu Zheng turned to look at the elders and said slowly, "You two are good at talking nonsense. I saw you and your son talking tonight. You bought young boys and girls to sacrifice to the gods..."

Upon hearing this, the elder interrupted, saying in a timid tone, "Nonsense! Are you trying to blackmail us? Do you really think we, the Qingyi Clan, are easy to bully? Come on, everyone, and take my son back!"

The clan elders didn't want Lu Zheng to tell the truth. They wanted to make the matter bigger. With so many people, if someone died, everyone would unite to attack.

The clan elders already had high prestige in the village, and upon hearing these words, some men wanted to rush forward with their weapons.

Lu Zheng's eyes turned cold, and a dazzling light suddenly appeared around him.

This immediately frightened the villagers.

Lu Zheng raised his hand and took out a jade token, saying sternly, "I am a scholar with a good academic record from Kaiyang County, Anguo, and a temporary official of the government. Do you think you can rebel?"

He looked at Gu again and said in a gentle voice, "Uncle Gu, you should understand what I am saying. Explain these words to those tribesmen who don't understand."

The elder said anxiously, "Don't listen to his nonsense! This man is using magic. If we all attack him together, can he really kill us all?"

Lu Zheng placed his sword on the man's head. "Do you really want to kill your own son? Didn't you notice that there are two people missing?"

The elder's heart sank. He had been looking for the other two sons before, but he didn't see them.

Now hearing what Lu Zheng said, it was obvious that everything had fallen into Lu Zheng's hands.

"What exactly do you want to do?" The elder's face was extremely gloomy.

Lu Zheng said calmly, "I just wanted to tell you something, but it seems like you don't want to listen, or you don't dare to listen?"

The elder said coldly: "Our village's affairs have nothing to do with you!"

"Using living people to sacrifice to wild gods, how can you think this is just your village's business? The government can't do anything about it?" Lu Zheng said.

Some members of the Qingyi tribe heard that something was wrong.

At this moment, A Duo stood up and said loudly: "Lu... Lu Zheng! What do you want to say? I will help you explain it to everyone!"

Lu Zheng looked at A Duo, he didn't expect that this girl would actually stand up.

He slowly began, "Today I met Uncle Gu and his family in the mountains... I heard some noises at night, and then I saw... Afterwards, I went to the pond where you were worshipping and found the deity you were worshipping. It was just a monster pretending to be a god..."

Lu Zheng took his time and told what he had experienced.

A Duo was shocked when she heard this, and tried her best to tell the story to her fellow tribesmen in the Qingyi language.

"Nonsense, absolute nonsense!" The elder said excitedly.

The other members of the Qingyi tribe remained silent, with different expressions.

Some people couldn't believe it, nor did they want to believe it, and some people even showed expressions of incomprehension.

Lu Zhengdao: "I'm talking nonsense, so what do you think I'm talking nonsense about?"

"You..." The clan elder was at a loss for words to respond.

The facts are right in front of him, and no matter how many lies he tells, he cannot cover up the truth.

Lu Zheng looked at the expressions of others. Most people still didn't believe these things.

Obviously, in their minds, the gods they worship are high and mighty, so how could they have done those things and ended up in such a miserable state?

Lu Zheng looked at the old man and said, "Prove it."

"I don't know what to say." The old man couldn't help but say.

Lu Zheng's expression turned cold. "Do you really not know, or are you pretending not to know? Don't you know the Qingyi language? Can't you tell me something to prove it..."

The old man was worried and whispered, "I don't have any divine power anymore. They won't believe me."

Upon hearing this, Lu Zheng placed one hand on the old man's head, infusing him with a trace of righteous energy.

"what!"

The old man only felt his soul being burned, in excruciating pain, and couldn't help but let out a terrible scream.

"Tell me, who was buried in the pond on what year, month and day? Tell me from recent to distant times. I don't believe you can't remember these days!" Lu Zheng said in a cold voice.

"I say, I say, stop it first..."

The old man begged for mercy weakly. He felt like his head was about to split open. The pain was unbearable.

Lu Zheng slowly retracted his righteous spirit, but a big hand still held the old man down.

The old man panted heavily and said weakly in the Qingyi language, "On the sixth day of last month, an old man named Baimao died and was buried with me. On the tenth day of the month before last..."

The old man spoke slowly, talking about some of the people who had been buried in the pond recently.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. When there was a burial in the village, almost the entire village would go out, and everyone remembered the date.

Lu Zheng mentioned the man beside him again, took out a few pearls, and handed them to him, saying coldly: "You recognized him just now, why did you change your words? You should still have these pearls at home, right? You can't have never seen them before, right? These pearls are all transformed from the bones of your people. They didn't reincarnate, did you know that?"

"I don't know, I really don't know..."

The man was panicking, unable to stand steadily, and trembling all over.

"So, do you recognize him?" Lu Zheng stared at the man with a sharp look.

The man stammered, "Yes, I do. I recognize his voice. He is the god we worship... I bought young boys and girls to sacrifice to him, but I didn't know that my people would be eaten. I didn't know. It's not my fault..."

As he spoke, the man's eyes began to wander and his speech became incoherent. It was obvious that he was quite upset.

These words came from a fellow tribesman, and from the elder's own son, which shocked everyone.

Could it be that the god they have worshipped for generations is actually a monster?

All of a sudden, the faith in many people's hearts collapsed.

But they were still unwilling to face the truth and could not accept it for a while.

Seeing the situation was irreversible, the elder lamented, "I feel so ashamed of my ancestors and my people. I never imagined the deity we worshipped was actually a monster! You monster, why are you trying to harm us?"

Seeing that the elders of the tribe were trying to shift all the blame onto him, the old man couldn't help but curse, "You old man, do you really think you have no responsibility? Hey, in order to get more pearls, someone in the tribe fell ill, and you insisted on waiting until they died, and then gave them to me, even though some people could be cured..."

"Bullshit, you're talking nonsense!" The elder said in a panic, "You said you would take them to reincarnate into good families, otherwise why would I bury them with you? You've deceived all of us!"

The old man just sneered when he heard this. The elders who usually treated him with great respect could suddenly change like this. The human heart is really unpredictable.

Lu Zheng picked up the old man and threw him directly towards the group of people in green clothes.

The old man's face suddenly changed and he felt uneasy.

When everyone saw the old man being thrown towards them, they couldn't help but move away a little.

Lu Zheng said calmly: "You have been deceived by him, so I'll leave it to you to deal with!"

Seeing this, the elders shouted angrily, "Kill him! He's the one who harmed us!"

As he spoke, the elder picked up a steel fork and pretended to attack the old man, trying to restore his status in the tribe.

As long as he kills the culprit, puts all the blame on the other party, admits his mistake, and gives some compensation to the tribe members, I think he can still serve as the tribe elder in the future.

The old man glared at them, "How dare you disrespect this god? Aren't you afraid of retribution?"

The clan elder had no intention of doing it himself, he was just pretending to do it to encourage others to kill the other party.

After hearing this, he dared not move forward.

After all, he had seen some of the old man's methods and skills. Even though he was tied up like a dumpling and seemed to have no power to resist, he was still very afraid.

As for the other tribesmen, they were also afraid and did not dare to attack the old man.

Seeing this, Lu Zheng sighed inwardly. After all, these people still had a bit of awe for the gods in their hearts.

"Aggie!"

Lu Zheng looked at Aji in the crowd, ready to give these people some stimulation to make them face reality.

Upon hearing this, Aji couldn't help but look at Lu Zheng with a complicated look in his eyes.

Lu Zheng said, "He killed your mother and prevented her from reincarnating, yet you dared not do anything about it. Are you still a man?"

Lu Zheng was not sure whether reincarnation really existed in this world.

But now, he had to use such words to break the fear in these people's hearts.

Aji's body trembled and his eyes turned red.

He looked at the old man on the ground, his eyes turned cold, and he stepped forward quickly, stabbing him with the spear in his hand.

"what!"

Aji shouted loudly, and the not-so-sharp spear pierced the old man's body, leaving a wound and blood flowing out.

The others were immediately encouraged and stepped forward one after another, raising their weapons to attack the old man and vent their anger.

The old man let out a weak scream, but in the end even that sound was drowned out by the anger of the crowd.

After a while, the crowd dispersed, leaving behind a pool of muddy blood and flesh.

The original old man had already been completely disfigured and no longer looked like a human.

A Duo was both afraid and curious. She couldn't help but glance at him a few times and whispered, "Is he dead?"

"It's already like this, how can he not die?" someone muttered.

"That's a monster..." someone said.

Lu Zheng walked forward slowly with a long sword in hand, and everyone made way for him when they saw him.

He came to the old man, squatted down, reached out and touched him, and found that the other person was still alive and not dead.

"Your Excellency's life is really tough!"

Lu Zheng murmured, saying that when the old man reached such a level, it was obviously not something that ordinary people could kill.

If you leave this pool of flesh and blood alone, it won't be long before it becomes alive again.

Lu Zheng took the long sword and stabbed it into the flesh, releasing the mighty sword energy.

A sharp cry came from the flesh and blood, and disappeared in an instant.

[You killed a wild god of the third realm, eliminating harm for the people, Wen Qi +200!]
