Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 229: Fighting against counterfeiting of Chinese prickly ash

As soon as the merchant holding the amulet finished speaking, the wind and waves on the Yinlong River became stronger again.

The five ships were swaying and pitching violently in the wind and waves.

The tide of zombies that had stopped climbing the boat before started moving again at this moment, climbing towards the boat.

The terrifying monster standing at the mouth of the gorge, blocking the waterway ahead, even spoke in human language, urging the merchant holding the amulet to take his boat away quickly.

"Leave immediately, don't try to delay, otherwise even if you have the amulet of the Demon Suppression County Lieutenant, I will devour you!"

The businessman holding the amulet seemed to be really frightened, and he kept saying, "Yes, yes. I'll leave right away, right away."

He hurriedly ordered the sailors on the ship to leave Tiger Leaping Gorge as soon as possible.

Everyone was surprised to find that the horrific tide of zombies in the river and the surging waves actually avoided the boat.

Even the thick fog that blocked out the sky made way for the ship.

Seeing that the ship was about to leave, everyone couldn't help but get anxious.

In fact, if they calm down, observe and think carefully, they can find a lot of flaws.

But their emotions had been completely affected. Not to mention ordinary people, even the alchemists and those knowledgeable caravan managers were panicked and could not care less about their doubts and speculations.

Seeing that the merchant holding the amulet was about to sail away, the people on the five ships cried and begged to be taken away with them.

There was even a captain who gave orders to move the other ship closer so that he could jump onto that ship and escape.

The ship soon hit a reef and not only ran aground, but the bottom cabin was also damaged and flooded, causing chaos for everyone on board.

Finally, someone came up with what the merchant wanted.

A middle-aged man took out a vermilion lacquered wooden box, opened it hurriedly, and showed the contents in the direction of the talisman-holding merchant.

"I have chalcedony fat. I am willing to give it to you in exchange for my family of three getting on board the ship."

The merchant holding the amulet turned around and looked when he heard this, then whispered something to the person next to him.

Then the people on the five ships saw that the alchemist next to the merchant made some hand gestures and chanted a spell, then with a wave of his hand, he actually built a "rainbow bridge" out of thin air between the two ships.

Without waiting for the middle-aged man to offer the chalcedony fat, he took his family onto the "bridge".

The other people on the ship rushed forward as if they had found a life-saving straw.

However, the next moment, all these people fell off the "bridge" with a "thump", and fell all over the deck.

“Only those who have my permission can come up to the bridge and onto my boat.”

The merchant holding the amulet shouted loudly: "There are not many places on the ship. No one wants to go with me? I've given you the opportunity. If you don't seize it, don't blame me!"

As if to build momentum for him, out of the thick fog, that huge water monster swam over with huge waves.

The situation was critical, and the people around me were screaming and wailing.

The crowd became increasingly confused.

At this moment, what everyone was thinking about was the ending of the story where everyone was buried in the monster's belly.

They felt nervous and excited when listening to the stories.

But when the story became reality and happened to them, they didn't want to end up like this.

Those who had treasures spoke hurriedly, fearing that if they spoke too late, they would miss their last chance to survive.

"I have the Corpse Puppet Pearl. Please take me away with you!"

"I have Azure Grass, I have Azure Grass, brother, take me with you!"

"Where's the Flint? Hurry up and find it...Brother, I have a large piece of Flint. Can you take two more people with you?"

Those who don't have these treasures either plead with tears or swear to heaven and earth:

"Brother, take me with you. I swear to God, as long as I can get back alive, I will help you find these treasures!"

"I'm the manager of Yuanfeng Bank. Our business covers several countries. We can find anything you want!"

"My family is rich! As long as you can take me out, I can give you any amount of money!"

Unfortunately, the merchant holding the amulet ignored these empty words.

He simply asked his alchemists to build a few more "bridges" to bring those who had treasures, along with their treasures, onto the boat.

"Got it smoothly."

At the top of the mountain, a smug grin appeared on the storyteller's face.

However, he was too happy too early.

There is a variable in this story.

Shang Lu didn't continue watching the show.

Because he could see that not only was there something strange about the merchant holding the amulet, but there was also something wrong with the ship.

If these people who "offered treasures" were allowed to board the ship, they would most likely end up losing their treasures and their lives. Shang Lu raised his bow and shot an arrow at the merchant holding the amulet.

Driven by blood, the arrow flew at an extremely fast speed. The wind and rain on the river had no effect on it at all. It instantly shot in front of the merchant holding the amulet.

The businessman had no time to dodge or resist, and he was shot in the head before he could even react.

Everyone on the five ships who saw this scene screamed in unison.

Many people's first reaction was that someone wanted to kill the businessman and steal his amulet.

But the next moment, people were shocked to find that no blood was flowing out of the businessman whose head was shot.

The headless body was even still moving.

He was neither struggling nor seeking revenge against the Shanglu who had shot his head.

Instead, strange black lines burst out from his body and rushed towards the people holding the treasures.

These people did not react quickly enough and their hands were cut by the black lines, which swept away the treasures such as the Azure Grass and Corpse Puppet Beads in their hands.

However, these treasures did not fly back into the hands of the headless merchant.

After the headless merchant was hit by the arrow, not only was his head shot off, but a flame also shot out of his body, causing his body to melt quickly, like a candle being roasted at high temperature.

In an instant, it turned into a pool of ink.

The black lines that had swept away the treasure also turned into ink, carrying the treasure along with them, and fell into the turbulent river.

It was also at this moment that Shang Lu held a ray of divine power in his mouth.

He used his eloquence and shouted loudly: "Don't be fooled! This ship, the corpse tide in the river, and the water monster blocking the road are all fake, illusions painted by pen and ink. As long as you are not afraid and don't believe them, they can't do evil!"

"What, fake?"

Many people were stunned when they heard this, not knowing whether they should believe Shang Lu.

The tide of corpses in the river, the water monster blocking the road... they all looked so real, so scary and horrible, how could they be fake?
Shang Lu knew that words were not enough.

As he spoke, the bowstring was pulled and several arrows were shot out.

These were shot at the tide of zombies in the water, the sixth ship that appeared inexplicably, and the terrifying water monster blocking the gorge.

During this period of time, Shang Lu has read the book "The Method of Yan Sheng" through and through.

Although he did not learn any tricks from this book, he did learn a lot of ways to break tricks.

Each of the arrows he shot was soaked in rooster blood, black dog blood and other things, and was imbued with divine power.

"boom--"

The arrows that hit the strange ship caused a raging flame, setting the ship on fire.

The ship in the fire revealed its true identity, which turned out to be a paper boat.

As the fire burned, it kept getting smaller and smaller and eventually turned into ashes.

As for the sailors, men, and alchemists on the ship, they were all burned in the fire, and their true forms were revealed, which were now paper figures.

And the "colorful bridges" also revealed their true appearance at this moment.

They were not bridges at all, but just pieces of yellow paper with the word "bridge" written on them. They quickly shrank in the fire and burned to ashes.

Those people who almost stepped onto the "Rainbow Bridge" were all terrified.

Paper boats, paper bridges, paper people...this isn't really about taking them to escape, it's clearly about sending them away!

Although the arrows shot at the water monster did not set it on fire, the divine power contained in the arrows dispersed the fog and injured the water monster.

There was no bleeding from the water monster's wound either.

What flowed out was pitch-black ink.

Shang Lu also shot several zombies in the river, and they turned into pieces of yellow paper with the word "zombie" written on them.

"These monsters aren't real!"

"They are all fake, written and drawn."

"Burn them with fire. They must be afraid of fire!"

The alchemist and the bodyguard had better eyesight than ordinary people. They were the first to notice this situation and immediately shouted excitedly.

It's all fake.

The zombies and water monsters look scary, but they are just for show and not as powerful as imagined.

The alchemist and the bodyguard instantly regained their fighting spirit.

They roared and launched a counterattack against the zombies and water monsters.
