Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 232 Trophies

Heiyun shook his body, trying to shake off the ink that was on his body.

While Shanglu was still riding on it, it didn't feel anything about the ink.

But after Shanglu got off the horse and walked for some distance, Heiyun felt uncomfortable.

The ink seemed to hollow out its body and corrode its strength.

Fortunately, Shanglu quickly returned to its side and suppressed this strange feeling. At the same time, Shanglu also released blood and energy to help it blow away the ink.

The ink that spurted out of the storybook was indeed poisonous.

Unfortunately, there is a piece of tail hanging on the body of Shanglu.

This is a little gadget given by the witch officer. It has the effect of avoiding poison and detoxifying. The toxins in the ink are also within its defense range.

After tying up the storyteller's head and cleaning the poisonous ink off himself and Heiyun's bodies, Shang Lu began to search the storyteller's headless body carefully.

He quickly found a bundle.

When it was opened, there were several books inside.

After flipping through it, I found that it seemed to be some cultivation techniques, as well as tips on storytelling and related techniques.

Immediately afterwards, Shang Lu touched another bag, which contained bottles and jars filled with various strange medicinal powders.

As well as a stack of blank yellow paper and a few silver bills from a money shop.

These are all spoils of war.

Shanglu didn't hesitate to take them all away.

However, he did not take a closer look at this time. Instead, he packed it up together with the notebook and pen he had just seized and placed them on Heiyun's back.

Then, Shang Lu opened another bag on Heiyun's back.

After searching inside for a while, he took out a small gourd with a label "Disintegration of Corpse" on it.

These are corpse powders, which Shang Lu obtained from the witch officials. They are specially used to deal with corpses and prevent them from resurrecting.

He opened the stopper and poured some of the powder in the gourd onto the storyteller's body.

Corpse powder is extremely corrosive, and its power becomes even stronger when it comes into contact with blood.

In a short while, the storyteller's headless body, under the effect of the corpse powder, turned into a pool of pus with a pungent smell.

After dealing with the storyteller's body, Shang Lu rode on the black cloud again and searched the surroundings.

After making sure there were no problems, he put away the paper man and wooden kite.

Then he patted Heiyun's head and signaled it to run down the mountain.

As the storyteller was killed, the thick fog covering the Yinlong River quickly dissipated.

The floating corpses in the river and the water monsters blocking the gorge revealed their true forms after losing the power of their magic.

The floating corpses are pieces of yellow paper with the word "walking corpse" written on them.

The so-called water monster is nothing more than a "character card" pasted on the wall of the mountain with words like "human head and dragon body" written on it.

The reason why the previous attacks of the alchemists were ineffective was because the water monster was an illusion. All their attacks fell into the river and were trapped in the fog.

All these truths made everyone on the ship feel that they had been fooled.

It was okay for ordinary people, but the alchemists who were hired by the caravans at high salaries to escort the goods felt ashamed.

Even though the floating corpses, water monsters, etc. had revealed their true forms and were no longer a threat, they still used their ultimate moves to destroy all the yellow paper.

It's a bit of a venting feeling.

The merchants were organizing people to salvage treasures such as chalcedony and azure grass that had fallen into the river.

But the river was rushing fast and the treasure had been washed away to who knows where. How could it be salvaged?

Some alchemists even tried to exorcise ghosts and search for the answer, but they also found nothing.

So when Shanglu returned to the shore, the chaos in the river had ended and the five ships were about to leave.

Even the ship that ran aground on a reef was saved with the help of the alchemist on board.

When Shang Lu returned to the shore, he did not ride on the black cloud again, but jumped onto the boat instead of riding his horse into the Long River.

Uncle Huai, who stayed on the boat, found the captain immediately and asked him to move the boat to the shore.

The captain wanted to leave this place quickly to avoid any weird things happening. But he had seen what Shang Lu and Uncle Huai had done just now and didn't dare to offend them. He could only obediently pull the boat to the shore and pick up Shang Lu.

Many people on the boat were frightened by the bloody head tied to Heiyun.

Shang Lu introduced: "Don't be afraid, everyone. This is the person who set up the illusion in Tiger Leaping Gorge. I have killed him!"

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Although they were still afraid, they were brave enough to look at the head curiously.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that Shanglu is handsome and speaks well.

If he looked like Du Feng and Tu Bin, even if everyone told the truth, everyone on the boat would probably just think of him as a murderer.

"It's the storyteller! The storyteller from Shuangjiang Town!"

Someone soon recognized the head.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone on the five ships was in an uproar.

"It's actually him!"

"I thought he was a prophet, but I didn't expect that all this was a trap set by him!"

"This bastard actually wanted to take our lives to complete his story! He deserves to be killed!"

Everyone was cursing, and if the head was not in Shang Lu's hands, they would probably rush up and stomp and kick him.

The merchants on a nearby ship hated the storyteller even more because they lost their treasure.

At this moment, he stood at the bow and shouted to Shang Lu across the boat:

"Sir, can you sell me this thief's head? I'll pay a high price! I want to use it as a chamber pot to relieve my hatred!"

"Sorry."

Shang Lu shook his head and refused.

"I will take this head back to the government office to close the case."

"Pity."

The merchant felt a little regretful, but did not force it. Instead, he thanked Shang Lu for saving him.

Then he asked with some curiosity: "May I ask your name? After we get ashore, we will go to the government to explain this matter and ask for credit for you."

The people on the other ships followed suit and said they would go to ask Shang Lu for credit.

"I am Shang Lu, and I would like to thank you all in advance."

Shang Lu didn't hesitate and told the name directly.

"Shang Lu?" The merchant was startled and asked hurriedly, "I wonder what your relationship is with the Demon-Suppressing County Lieutenant of Luoshui County?"

"It's me." Shang Lu said.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone on the five ships was shocked.

Even if they had never been to Luoshui County, they had heard the story of "The Demon-Suppressing County Lieutenant who subdued the water monster" in the past few days and were quite familiar with the title of the Demon-Suppressing County Lieutenant.

And now, the real Demon-Suppressing County Lieutenant actually appeared before their eyes.

And it rescued them, and from a certain perspective, it was indeed a "water retreat monster".

This gave the people on the five ships a strange feeling that the story had become reality.

For a time, some people lamented that the Demon-Suppressing County Lieutenant was different from what was said in the legend. He did not look ferocious at all, but rather handsome and elegant.

Some people also murmured that although the thief was hateful, the story he told really became a prophecy. Because in the end, it was the Demon-Suppressing County Lieutenant who saved them!
Many people were muttering in their hearts: "So he is the Demon-Suppressing County Lieutenant. No wonder he likes to behead people..."

The five ships soon set sail again.

After passing Tiger Leaping Gorge, the journey was smooth and the group did not encounter any strange or dangerous situations.

This made everyone on the boat somewhat disappointed.

They also wanted to witness with their own eyes the Demon-Suppressing County Lieutenant's ability to exorcise demons and monsters.

By the afternoon of the next day, the boat arrived at Longyou County and docked at the ferry outside the county seat.

Shang Lu had to disembark here and take the land route to Chengxiang County, where the county seat was located.

Just as he was about to get off the boat with Heiyun and Uncle Huai, he was stopped by the captain.
