Chapter 165 Thunderbird Cult
Continuous lightning shattered the ground behind Lingkong.
Lingkong ran all the way out of Tenun Pass before the lightning stopped and the thunderbird flew back. It seemed that it was reluctant to leave Tenun Pass.
Pai Meng: "Oh my god, that was a close call."
Lingkong: "The flying monsters in the sky are the most difficult to deal with. Fortunately, it stopped chasing me, so I don't have to worry about how to deal with it."
Pai Meng: "Thunderbird is so fierce, I don't know if it's delicious."
Lingkong: "These thunderbirds may have eaten human flesh. I suspect that the two children were eaten by thunderbirds."
Pai Meng: "Then don't eat Thunderbird, it's too disgusting."
Going further, Lingkong entered another fishing village.
The villagers surrounded him enthusiastically, saying things like welcoming the end of the world together and being saved together.
Paimeng felt uneasy: "Are they all crazy?"
Lingkong: "Maybe they have all been brainwashed by a cult. It's okay. They are just ordinary people. There is no threat."
The villagers led him to the most exquisite house in the village, saying that this was the home of the archbishop, and some villagers went to knock on the door.
A fat middle-aged man wearing Yin Yang Master's clothes came out and asked: "Who wants to join the Thunderbird Cult?"
Villager: "Archbishop, it's this young man."
Archbishop: "Take off your clothes and prove your purity."
Lingkong: "Fatty, what did you say?"
Archbishop: "Asshole, you are disrespectful to the bishop! Come, strip him naked and hang him up!"
The villagers all took action, but as a result some of them lost one hand, and some lost both hands.
After a moment, the archbishop was the only one left standing there.
"Just wait, you're dead." While being entangled by the villagers in mid-air, the archbishop summoned an evil ghost with two horns on his head.
The tall evil ghost pounced towards Lingkong, but was blown to pieces by his palm.
The archbishop was stunned.
Lingkong: "It's your turn, Fatty. Tell me, how do you want to die?"
The archbishop knelt down on the spot and said: "Don't kill me, I will do anything you ask me to do."
The archbishop was really afraid of death, so he told everything.
The archbishop's name is Tomohiro Satoshi, and he is an ordinary Onmyoji disciple of the Yuhun school on Tsurukan Island.
He was sent out by the head of the sect, Gong Qiluosheng, to look for strangers.
This matter has to start with Gong Qiluosheng's ambition. Although Gong Qiluosheng has cultivated to the highest level of the Soul-Controlling Onmyoji, she has not yet become a god.
She was only one step away from becoming a god. If she didn't become a god, she wouldn't be able to achieve immortality. She was just one step away, and she was unwilling to accept that.
In order to achieve immortality, she came up with a vicious method. By sacrificing ordinary people on the island, she would turn herself into a demon and achieve immortality in this way.
She succeeded, and all the people on the island died. She also became a hideous evil ghost. However, she could not accept her ugly appearance, so she used magic to create a thick fog that covered the entire island, and sent out her few remaining disciples to help her find living people.
She believed that as long as she continued to eat humans, she would be able to transform back into human form.
Lingkong: "So, these villagers are the food you prepared for him?"
Congyan Zhibo: "It was all her fault. It has nothing to do with me."
Lingkong: "Did you kill those two kids from Tianyun Pass?"
Tomohiro Satoshi: "It was all done by those stupid villagers."
A villager shouted: "He asked us to do this. He said we should offer it as a sacrifice to the Thunderbird God."
Congyan Zhibo had no choice but to explain all the details.
After arriving at the village, how to get these villagers to go to Tsurukan Island became a problem. One day, by chance, he saw a flock of thunderbirds at Akunome Pass, and then he came up with a bold idea - to establish a thunderbird cult.
The main purpose of the Thunderbird Cult is that the Thunderbird is a god that is about to destroy the human world, and these few Onmyoji disciples can protect believers, so they are the saviors.
The only problem is that the locals are well aware of the habits of thunderbirds. Although thunderbirds are monsters, they do not attack humans. Their main food is sea fish. How to make the villagers believe that thunderbirds will attack humans is a problem.
Congyan Zhibo came up with another clever idea. He dug out the bodies of the villagers that had just been buried, and fed the thunderbird with a mixture of human flesh and fish meat. This clever move directly broadened the thunderbird's horizons, and it turned out that humans could also be eaten.
From then on, humans became an option on the Thunderbirds' menu, and from time to time Thunderbirds would run out of Amanome Pass to attack the villagers.
The number of believers of the Thunderbird Cult increased, and when most people in the village believed in Congyan Zhibo, class oppression began.
All the money in the village belongs to him, all the beauties belong to him, the best house belongs to him, and all the work belongs to the villagers.
Most people could only be slaves, and only his women and their families could live a slightly better life.
Congyan Zhibo was successful, and he lived more comfortably than the emperor.
Several of his fellow apprentices also followed suit and went to other villages to expand their territory.
In order to consolidate his rule, he organized a sacrificial ceremony a few days ago and selected two children to feed the thunderbird.
According to him, those who did not believe in him were sinful and had to sacrifice their children to the thunderbird to remove their sins.
Congyan Bozhi took the lead and watched the two children being eaten alive by a flock of thunderbirds.
Such a cruel scene frightened all the villagers, and no one dared to question her anymore.
Lingkong: “How many villagers went to Heguan?”
Congyan Zhibo: "About thirty or so."
The fishing boats of Yueshi Village could make a round trip about once a day. According to Zhibo Congyan's idea, as long as he sent a few villagers there every day, Gong Qi Luosheng would not suspect him, nor would he know that he was a local tyrant in Yueshi Village.
Lingkong felt that this guy was a talent. He was like a tumor on Inazuma's body, causing all kinds of harm and no benefits.
His death would be of no benefit to Liyue, and keeping him alive could be used to reduce the population of Inazuma.
Lingkong did not kill him, but told him that he would go to Heguan Island tomorrow and asked him to make arrangements.
He could ignore Congyan and Zhibo, but Gong Qiluo had to die. For the sake of Lei Dianying, since he knew about this matter, he could not ignore it.
When he returned to the village the next day, the villagers told him that Congyan Zhibo had been beaten to death by the villagers, his body burned to ashes, and his ashes scattered.
Lingkong didn’t care whether he lived or died, as long as there was a boat to Heguan Island.
The person rowing the boat was an old fisherman. The small fishing boat was rising and falling on the sea, and there was no land in sight in front, behind, left or right.
Lingkong asked: "Has anyone who went to Heguan come back?"
The old fisherman said: “No one has come back, so I advise you not to go.”
Lingkong: "It is said that these people all believe in the Thunderbird Cult and go to Heguan to seek refuge. Do you know what disaster it is?"
Old fisherman: "I have been fishing all my life and have seen all kinds of disasters. No matter how terrible a disaster is, can it be more terrible than a human being?"
After drifting for a whole morning, the fishing boat finally arrived at Heguan Island.
The old fisherman said: "It's not too late for you to regret now."
Lingkong: "I'm here to make the things on the island regret it."
The old fisherman ignored him and returned home.
