Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 159: A mouthful of words, a mouthful of words can melt gold

Shang Lu thrust his knife forward with all his might, hoping to pierce the Master's head in one fell swoop.

But the tip of the knife was pressing against the Master's brow and could not move any further.

Countless ugly flesh buds burst out from the Master's head, face, and body, swarming to his eyebrows, entangled with and blocked Shang Lu's knife.

Every flesh bud, no matter how big or small, has a mouth.

Various voices came out of these strange mouths, shouting:

"Master is a saint on earth who saves all living beings!"

"Master, your magical powers are immense and your power is boundless!"

"No one can hurt the Master!"

Shang Lu understood instantly that these voices and these flesh buds all came from the people who were bewitched by the Master!
The more these people believe in the Master, the more their vitality will be sucked away by the Master.

This is also the practice of famous sophists: distorting the three perspectives and stealing vitality.

Even after these people die, their souls will be enslaved by the sophists and become their lackeys, helping them to continue deceiving others!

The fleshy buds with mouths that are growing wildly on the Master's body at this moment are the vitality and soul of the "believer".

These flesh buds not only helped the Master to block Shang Lu's attack, but also tried to seduce Shang Lu and make him believe that the Master was a saint from the world who came to save all living beings.

These fleshy buds with mouths have a strong ability to bewitch others, and the noisy atmosphere created by their chattering can make people feel upset.

Once your mind is in a mess, you are more easily bewitched and hypnotized.

This trick of the Master had always worked in the past, and it made many people put aside their hostility towards him and even bow down to him.

But in Shanglu, he failed again.

In the internal organs and on the mind, fire was blazing.

These flames did not cause any harm to the internal organs or to Shanglu.

But it burned away all the distracting thoughts and noises in his mind.

The bewitching words with mouth buds were burned by the raging fire in Shang Lu's heart as soon as they entered his ears, and could not bewitch him at all.

But the mouth on the granulation can not only make misleading remarks, but its teeth are also very sharp. When they bite on the knife, they make a sharp "crunching" sound.

The oxtail knife made of fine iron was bitten into countless cracks in an instant!
These fleshy buds with mouths, like poisonous snakes, swept towards the Smilax glabra.

Trying to entangle and bite him!
If you can't bewitch him, just eat him.

Upon seeing this, Shang Lu immediately dropped his knife.

However, before discarding the sword, he infused a surging, powerful blood energy, as well as a trace of divine power, into the broken sword.

"boom--"

The broken oxtail knife was detonated by Shanglu using his blood, energy and divine power!
The power generated by the explosion swept through the broken blades, instantly shattering a large piece of the fleshy buds that were wrapped around the oxtail knife!

Blood and flesh flew everywhere, and the originally sacred and solemn hall instantly turned into a meat grinder.

As a result, the noisy atmosphere in the hall also quieted down a lot.

"good chance!"

Shang Lu pulled out the beast whip that was wrapped around his waist and used the Spirit Snake Whip Technique to whip the Master with all his strength. He wanted to take advantage of the opportunity when most of the fleshy buds with a mouth were destroyed to attack and kill the Master!

Driven by blood and energy, the beast whip burst out like a flash of lightning with the power of thunder!

Just as he was about to succeed, a huge snake tail suddenly swept out from behind the Master.

"boom--"

Shanglu's whip and the snake's tail collided heavily, causing a powerful impact.

Several of the Master's followers who had just rushed into the hall were immediately knocked out, without even having time to shout or curse.

Several scales of the huge snake's tail were shattered and a lot of things fell off.

But there was no blood, only rubble and dust flying everywhere.

Because this snake tail does not belong to the Master, but comes from the statue with a human head and a snake body behind him.

It was clearly a statue made of grass and clay, but at this moment it not only moved, but also burst out with astonishing power!

It leaped up from the altar and pressed down on Shanglu with the force of Mount Tai.

Shang Lu really didn't expect that this teacher could not only deceive a group of foolish men and women with his eloquent words, but he could even persuade the clay statues to work for him!
Such a skill is truly amazing!
Although this statue was made of grass and clay, it had been worshipped in the witch temple for many years and had acquired some spirituality. The Master used magic to drive it and injected it with a lot of stolen vitality, which made it fight Shanglu on equal terms.

Although every attack of Shang Lu could smash a lot of the statues.

However, the clay statue felt no pain and was not afraid of death. The power it erupted was comparable to that of a minor success in marrow cleansing and was no less than that of Shanglu!

For a moment, Shang Lu was entangled by the statue and could not continue to kill the Master.

But the Master did not join the battle.

He just widened his eyes, stared at Shang Lu, and asked, "Why don't you believe me?"

The Master's voice was no longer as calm as before, but contained a hint of panic and anger.

At this moment, Shang Lu discovered that the Master was aging rapidly.

The teacher just now looked to be in his teens or twenties, with a delicate and graceful appearance.

But now, he has aged at least ten years in an instant!

Considering the unique cultivation method of the Trickster, Shang Lu concluded that it was because he was not deceived or bewitched, and broke the Master's spell, which caused him to suffer backlash and lose his cultivation and vitality.

Shang Lu launched a fierce attack on the statue, hoping to destroy it quickly, while snorting coldly: "My heart is firm. Your set of twisted theories may fool others, but not me!"

But the Master did not believe it.

"You are only at the Marrow Cleansing Stage, what is there to talk about with Dao Heart?
I understand, there must be a treasure in you that can calm your mind and soul!

I just need to kill you, take this treasure, and refine it. Not only can I make up for the loss of vitality, but I can also boost my cultivation and further improve my discernment skills!"

"What a bullshit argument! You are clearly using sophistry! Want to kill me? Come on!" Shang Lu said provocatively.

But the Master was not provoked, and sneered, "To fight you would be beneath my dignity, and there will be those who hate you, and will come to take your life!"

He recited a passage of scripture rapidly, and his aura suddenly increased, with countless cracks appearing on his body.

These cuts turned into mouths and instantly covered the Master's entire body, turning him into a strange monster with an extremely creepy appearance.

All of them opened their mouths and spoke, but they were not trying to deceive Shang Lu, but to deceive the county soldiers such as Tu Bin and Feng Nan outside.

The Master wanted them to switch sides and together surround and kill Shang Lu.

"We are not the enemy, and we are not the ones you should kill...

Think about it carefully, are you living a hard and tiring life? You are working very hard, but you don’t earn much money. You are the one who works hard, but the credit goes to your superiors…”

When these mouths open at the same time, their ability to bewitch people is enhanced to a new level.

This is the "art of melting metal by popular opinion" used by those who seek change!
If there was a witch officer here to help resist, the county soldiers might not be bewitched.

But with their own cultivation and state of mind, they could not resist the slander of others.

As long as they have a trace of unwillingness or resentment in their hearts, they will be firmly grasped by the art of melting metal with public opinion, and the unwillingness and resentment will be completely aroused, overwhelming all other thoughts in their minds.

Many county soldiers outside the palace were instantly attacked.

They asked in confusion: “So what should we do?”

“Either give up resistance and let the people around you kill you, free yourself from the prison of the flesh, and avoid suffering and torture.

Or come into the hall and kill your superiors!

As long as you kill him, your cage will be freed and your suffering will end..."

Countless extremely persuasive voices rang in the ears of the county soldiers:

"Kill him! Kill him!"

"As long as you kill him, you will be free from suffering!"

"None of these officials are good people! Killing him will not only save you from suffering, but also rid the people of harm!"

These highly misleading and inflammatory voices confuse right and wrong and truth and falsehood.

The county soldiers were not only given a splitting headache by the noise, but were also bewitched and had murderous intentions in their hearts.

"Yeah... none of the officials are good people!"

"Kill him! Get rid of the evil for the people! And also help yourself escape from the sea of ​​suffering!"

There were actually county soldiers who muttered to themselves and stopped fighting with the people from Yunxi Town. Instead, they ran towards the Witch Temple with them to surround and kill Shang Lu!
