Wei Fu looked around and said, "So... where is your God?"

"You were just spinning around and jumping up and down like that to summon the gods, right? Where is your god? Why can't I see him? Or is it that only you can see him?"

Wei Fu's words made the villagers' faces freeze. It was so embarrassing!

Not to mention that Wei Fu didn't see it, they didn't see their God either.

Several young men supported the village chief, who was staggering due to excessive blood loss, and gritted their teeth and said, "Do it again!"

Normally, they would pray once and the gods would appear.

Wei Fu said, "If you spill more of your village chief's blood, he will pass out."

Long Yin said coldly, "Either the god you're talking about is a figment of your imagination, or he's afraid of us and doesn't dare to come out."

The villagers were excited: "Our God is not our imagination!"

"You're talking nonsense! How could our God be afraid of you?"

Many people were shouting and wanted to pounce on Long Yin and Wei Fu again, but Long Yin waved his sleeves lightly and all the villagers were blown away.

The villagers were very angry, but they could do nothing about Long Yin.

The village chief gritted his teeth and said, "Let my blood flow!"

"Today's sacrifice must have been disrupted, angering the gods, so we can't invite them out." He wanted the gods to see their sincerity.

He even shouted to his grandson, "Go and deliver the baby..."

Someone helped to bleed the village chief. The village chief had bled twice before and both of his palms were cut. Now someone took a knife to cut the village chief's wrists.

The village chief's grandson also picked up a knife and walked towards his wife.

Her daughter-in-law was also worried that the gods would be angry, so she did not stay in the protected village. Instead, she stood there obediently and did not run away.

This made Wei Fu very angry.

She went to kick the man away again. Since the village chief and the old men wanted to die, she did not stop them. But the child was innocent. It would be a wonder if the child could survive if they performed a caesarean section to take him out so casually.

Seeing Wei Fu ruining their plans time and time again, the pregnant woman secretly picked up a wooden stick, raised it with a fierce look in her eyes, and smashed it towards Wei Fu's head.

Long Yin's eyes turned fierce, and a streak of light flew out of her hand. The wooden stick turned into powder before it touched Wei Fu's head.

The powder fell all over her head.

Wei Fu: “(?_?)”

She closed her eyes and shook her head to shake off all the powder on her head. Then she turned around and looked at the pregnant woman with a very bad expression.

The pregnant woman didn't know why the stick in her hand suddenly turned into powder, but seeing Wei Fu's ugly face, she felt danger and started to run.

Wei Fu stopped her: "Run, even if you break your legs, I can still find you."

"You'd better not run back to Taohua Village, otherwise..."

The pregnant woman paused in her escape. Where else could she run to except back to Taohua Village?

As far as she could remember, there had never been a woman from outside the village who married into the village, and her own family was also from Taohua Village.

Everyone’s relatives and friends are also from Taohua Village.

Wei Fu took out a rope from the small bag and went up to tie up the pregnant woman.

Over there, someone was about to cut the village chief's wrist, but because Wei Fu suddenly took action, the person stopped. Now seeing Wei Fu tying someone up, he was about to attack again, but was stopped by Long Yin.

Long Yin directly knocked down several young men around the village chief.

He didn't want to save the village chief, but the village chief must have killed many people.

He had just asked Long Xi to go back to the prefect. The prefect should be responsible for how to deal with these people.

Especially the bad habits in this village require the government to send people to curb and educate them.

Otherwise, these people will kill more people out of ignorance.

Killing people alone will not solve the problem.

After Wei Fu tied up the pregnant woman, she was about to tie up the other people. Long Yin told her not to bother anymore, as with him watching, these people couldn't escape.

Soon the prefect came in person with his men, and the prince also came with him.

When Wei Fu saw the prince, he rushed over to him like a young swallow, hugged his thighs, and told him everything they had seen and heard in a low voice.

When the prince heard that those people wanted to use unborn children for sacrifice, his face turned ugly. When he heard that Wei Fu saved the pregnant woman and the pregnant woman actually wanted to repay Wei Fu with evil, his face became extremely ugly.

The prefect was also shocked when he heard this. He never imagined that there was such a village under his jurisdiction.

Fortunately, Wei Fu and Long Yin are very capable, otherwise...

The prefect looked at the prince's grim expression and, without waiting for him to say anything, he gave an order: "Tie up all these people and take them back for questioning to see which of them are responsible for the murder."

Immediately, officers and soldiers came to tie the man up, and Wei Fu even enthusiastically contributed a rope.

When they went out, there were only three of them, Wei Fu, Long Yin and Long Xi. But when they came back, they were a huge group of people.

In addition to these people on the riverbank, the prefect also sent people to surround Taohua Village.

Witchcraft has always been banned by the imperial court. Although Taohua Village's behavior is not strictly speaking witchcraft, it is not a good behavior either.

Long Yin had previously said that the people in Taohua Village were crazy, and that the so-called god was a figment of their imagination, and that was just to deliberately provoke these people.

In fact, he believed what the villagers said about seeing the gods, but he was not sure whether what they saw was the gods or something else.

Whether this was a man-made disaster or something else was at work still needs to be investigated by the prefect.

He told his thoughts to the prefect. After hearing what Long Yin said, the prefect suddenly had a bad feeling for some reason.

After he took these people back, he interrogated them personally. Based on the statements of the village chief and those people, the prefect came to a conclusion.

The god that the villagers of Taohua Village believed in was his mother.

To be precise, it was the evil ghost that leaned over his mother and merged with her into one person.

According to the village chief, his village has had such a tradition since he was born. Their village enshrines a god by the river, and that god can bless their village so that they will have enough food and clothing and live in long-term peace and stability.

When he came here with his family to take up his post, he once asked for a bowl of water in Taohua Village. The prefect thought that the evil ghost must have followed them back to the mansion at that time.

It was also from that time that her mother began to treat his wife even more harshly.

Although his mother had never been kind to his wife, there were degrees of badness.
