Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 289: Soul Binding, Evil Purification

"Beautiful! As expected of the Demon-Suppressing County Lieutenant! It turns out that there are only wrong names, not wrong nicknames!"

Shentu, who was in the temple courtyard, couldn't help but cheer when he saw the mountain ghost disintegrate under Shanglu's sword.

Even Lu Yang breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the culprit had been brought to justice.

With a wave of his sword, he was about to call back several flying swords.

But at this moment, Shang Lu noticed that something jumped out from the mountain ghost's crumbling flesh and blood, and was trying to escape from the Great Immortal Temple at an extremely fast speed.

This thing was invisible and traceless, cold and chaotic, which made Shang Lu certain that it was definitely not an illusion, but the spirit of a mountain ghost.

"not good!"

Shang Lu quickly stretched out his hand, trying to stop the evil spirit.

But the demon soul was too fast.

Shanglu's hand failed to catch it and passed it by.

Although he did not catch the demon soul, the cold and chaotic aura emanating from it still made him shiver.

Shang Lu lowered his head and found that his outstretched hand was actually contaminated by the demon soul.

A chaotic evil spirit invaded his palm, trying to cause deformation and injure him.

Shang Lu groaned and urged his blood and energy to resist. At the same time, his other hand pulled out the beast whip from his waist and lashed at the fleeing demon spirit.

"Ok?"

Shang Lu's action reminded Lu Yang, and he immediately used the sword technique to point at his forehead.

As the witchcraft energy poured in, there seemed to be a flash of brilliant sword light in Lu Yang's eyes.

With the help of the sword, he saw a flash of blood in the night sky trying to escape.

"Don't go, stay here!"

Lu Yang roared and urged the flying sword, trying to catch up with the mountain ghost's spirit and destroy it.

However, the remaining evil spirit in the Great Immortal Temple was carried away by the evil spirit of the mountain ghost.

The rolling murderous energy not only blocked Shang Lu's beast whip and Lu Yang's flying sword, but also transformed into a ferocious giant snake, biting towards the magic circle set up by Lu Dao.

"boom--"

The magic circle was cracked under the fierce attack of the evil spirit.

But in this process, 70 to 80 percent of the evil spirit was consumed.

The demon soul rushed out along the crack at an extremely fast speed, and its sharp roar was breathtaking.

"Lu Dao! I will definitely avenge today's vengeance! And you two bastards, you destroyed my dojo and injured my clone. I will remember you! You will be killed without a burial place!"

Shen Tu couldn't see the demon spirit, but he could hear its threats. The sound gave him a terrible headache, as if hundreds of steel needles were piercing into his head.

Shen Tu urged his blood and energy to suppress the splitting headache, opened his mouth, and wanted to remind the demon soul that in addition to Lu Dao, Shang Lu and Lu Yang, he also participated in the actions of destroying the temple and killing the clone.

Although it didn't work...

But in the end, his reason overcame his impulse, and he did not act recklessly at this time.

Although it is very embarrassing to be ignored by the mountain ghost, it is better than being remembered by it.

He, Shentu, is not like the merchant thief Cao. Not only is he capable, he is also a student of the Witch Academy.

If he were to be targeted by the mountain ghost, he would be in real danger.

Seeing the mountain ghost breaking through the magic circle, Shang Lu and Lu Yang were shocked and hurriedly wanted to chase after it.

At this time, Lu Dao laughed loudly: "Don't worry, it can't run away."

Just as he finished speaking, a strange bell sounded outside the Great Immortal Temple.

At the same time, waves of calls rang out along with the ringing of bells.

It was as if there were hundreds and thousands of people calling out to the spirit of the mountain ghost.

The demon soul flew out of the Great Immortal Temple and was about to escape, but was entangled by the sudden bell sound and call.

These two voices seemed to possess extremely powerful strength, and seemed to have a natural antagonism to evil spirits.

Faced with their entanglement, the demon soul was unable to break free.

It let out a shrill scream and mad curses.

But at this moment, it was more like impotent rage.

Because just like that, it was dragged down from the night sky by the strange bells and calls, and fell outside the Great Immortal Temple.

Shang Lu and Lu Yang, one jumped out of the temple wall and the other flew on a sword, both rushed out of the Great Temple at the first time, and arrived at the place where the demon soul fell one after another.

The wind was howling in this place, and the yin energy was extremely strong, causing the two of them to shiver together. They felt as if both their bodies and souls were frozen.

The sword energy was still in Lu Yang's eyes.

Glancing left and right, he said in a deep voice: "This is the Yin Eye of the mountain. No wonder it is filled with Yin energy."

"Senior Brother Lu, what is that?" Shang Lu raised his hand and pointed forward.

Lu Yang looked in the direction he was looking and saw a flag made of bones and skin in a bush, inserted on top of the Yin Eye.

At the top of this flag, there is a sheep skull hanging.

There are two strings of bells hanging on the sheep's horns, and the strange bell sound comes from them.

I don’t know what animal the flag’s skin is from.

The witchcraft curse was tattooed on it with cinnabar ink.

And many little ghosts with different expressions, capable of captivating souls.

"It's the Soul Flag!" Lu Yang replied, and at the same time he saw a hint of blood-colored light and shadow in the Soul Flag.

"The demon soul has been imprisoned by this soul flag."

The demon soul imprisoned in the Soul Banner was restless. It struggled frantically in an attempt to escape.

But this is not possible.

Lu Dao used the technique of shrinking the earth and chased out from the Great Immortal Temple.

Seeing the soul flag vibrating, he sneered and said, "Once you enter my soul flag, the more you struggle, the more painful it will be. I advise you to be honest."

Shang Lu heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this: "Fortunately, Uncle Lu laid down the soul flag in advance, otherwise the evil spirit would have escaped. All our hard work would have been in vain."

If the evil spirit is allowed to escape, even if Shang Lu and his men demolish the Great Immortal Temple, this operation will be a failure.

"I followed the Great Wizard Zhongli and have dealt with this fellow several times. I know his abilities and tricks very well.

It used this trick to escape from our encirclement last time, so how can I let it succeed again!"

As he spoke, Lu Dao walked up and waved his hand. The Sheep Head Soul Flag immediately flew up and fell into his hand.

Lu Dao held the Sheep Head Soul Flag in his left hand, chanted a spell, and made a hand gesture with his right hand, quickly drawing a few strokes on the Sheep Head Soul Flag.

The surging witch energy immediately poured into the Sheep Head Soul Flag, activating the witch spell on it.

"what--"

As a miserable and wailing cry was heard, the demon spirit was suppressed. Not only did it stop struggling, but even the sounds of its screams and curses disappeared.

Only then did Lu Dao turn his head and look at Shang Lu.

"You have a good sense of perception. When the demon soul flew out, even Lu Yang didn't notice it, but you saw it first."

Shang Lu bowed and said, "Uncle Lu, you are too kind. I was just close to him and was lucky enough to feel it."

"It's not something you can discover just by being close."

Lu Dao shook his head, and then said to Lu Yang: "When you go back, you must practice hard, and don't let your fellow apprentices surpass you or even leave you behind."

"Uncle Lu taught me that I will practice hard after I return."

Lu Yang crossed his hands and accepted the order, and secretly winked at Shang Lu.

Lu Dao noticed this and looked at him with a frown.

Lu Yang's expression immediately became serious.

Changing the subject, he pointed at the Sheep-Head Soul Banner and asked, "Brother Lu, is this Bingying Immortal the mountain ghost you want to kill?"

"that's it."

Phytolacca nodded.

“However, what appears here is just a remnant of its soul, a clone.” Lu Dao waved his sleeves, and saw billowing witchcraft energy surging out, wrapping around the sheep-head soul flag and transforming into a mysterious witchcraft spell.

Under the effect of this witchcraft spell, the Sheep Head Soul Flag shrank rapidly and was then put into Lu Dao's sleeve.

Afterwards, Lu Dao took Shang Lu and Lu Yang back to the Great Immortal Temple.

As he walked, he said:

“While we were hunting down the mountain ghost, we discovered that this evil creature was extremely cunning, using different identities to open temples and create spiritual bodies in many places.

On the one hand, it makes it easier for it to send down evil spirits and appear in spirits to deceive believers.

On the other hand, a cunning rabbit has three burrows, so even if the real body encounters danger, it can escape in time, let the soul descend into the spiritual body, and thus get rid of danger.

We had a chance to take it down before, but it used this method to escape.

We are issuing this mission in the Witch Academy in order to attract more disciples to come and help us find and destroy all the spirit bodies of the mountain ghosts. "

Lu Yang frowned slightly, feeling a little disappointed.

"Just a remnant soul? Then wouldn't our trip be in vain?"

"How could it be a wasted trip?"

Lu Dao laughed and shook his head:

“Our trip was not in vain, but we gained a lot!

With this remnant soul of the mountain ghost, we can perform a ritual and use it to find the mountain ghost's true form!
Not to mention, during this trip, we also discovered that mountain ghosts are connected to dangerous places.

This is very important information!"

A dangerous place is also a kind of secret place.

It's just more sinister and weird.

What's more, the dangerous land is filled with evil spirits rather than spiritual energy, so it is difficult to mine and refine.

However, there are also many treasures and secret manuals hidden in this dangerous place.

Even in dangerous places, there are many opportunities!
Although most of the treasures in dangerous places have become strange and bizarre due to the pollution of evil spirits, they are full of various strange side effects.

However, the power of these treasures is often extremely strong.

Therefore, even if it is a dangerous place, it will attract many people who practice cultivation, who will flock to it and explore and search for treasures.

Even the country will invest a lot of manpower after discovering a dangerous place.

The purpose is to limit the dangerous area so that it does not pollute the surrounding area and spread.

We also need to send people in to investigate and search for the treasure.

In fact, the witchcraft energy in the dangerous place cannot be refined into spiritual liquid and spiritual fat for use in cultivation.

But in some special aspects, it is still very useful.

Not to mention, this dangerous place connected with mountain ghosts is very likely to be extraordinary.

The chaotic divinity in the mountain ghost might have been acquired in this dangerous place.

If this is true, then this dangerous place is most likely where gods are hiding.

No matter how strange or dangerous it is, the imperial court and the witch academy will make great efforts to explore and develop it.

As the first person to discover this clue.

Whether it is Shanglu, Luyang or Lu Dao.

Even including the thieves' yamen, it will be a great achievement!
When Lu Yang heard this, he couldn't help but get excited.

Then he turned to look at Shang Lu, his eyes full of gratitude.

If Shang Lu hadn't sent him the message, he would have had no chance to get involved in this case.

I originally thought that I was just completing the task assigned by the Great Wizard Zhongli.

Unexpectedly, I gained an unexpected great achievement.

Maybe, with this reward, he would be able to accumulate enough contributions to exchange for the materials needed to break through to the Tongtian realm.

Excited, Lu Yang bowed to Shang Lu.

Although he didn't say anything, this action undoubtedly said: Junior Brother Shang, I will remember this favor. If I need your help in the future, just let me know!
To be honest, Shang Lu was also surprised.

I didn't expect that helping the witch to deliver a letter to Liang Jihu would result in a great achievement.

It was truly an unexpected surprise.

Shang Lu touched the oil-paper umbrella he carried with him and couldn't help wondering, was it his own luck, or was it his virtuous wife's good luck?

Shang Lu, Lu Yang and Lu Dao quickly returned to the Great Immortal Temple.

At this time, the thieves who were lying in ambush outside the temple also rushed into the temple at Shentu's shout.

Shen Tu ordered loudly: "Hurry up! Destroy the statues and arrest these demon followers! If there is resistance, kill them on the spot!"

The statues here are all puppets driven by the evil magic of mountain ghosts. They will be destroyed if they are destroyed.

But believers are human beings.

Although they were deformed into monsters by evil spirits and witchcraft, with the presence of the witch officials, they could be transformed back into human form.

These people must be interrogated thoroughly and punished accordingly.

Maybe we can get some useful clues from the confessions during the interrogation.

Lu Dao glanced at the temple courtyard and saw the believers who had been transformed into monsters, then turned and asked Shang Lu.

"I remember you said before that you brought a lightning and fire protection umbrella from the armory of the bandit department?"

On the way to the Great Immortal Temple, Lu Dao not only asked Shang Lu and Lu Yang about their cultivation and abilities, but also asked Shang Lu and the others what magical weapons they had obtained this time.

"Yes." Shang Lu responded, and immediately asked Qiu Dao to take out the thunder and fire umbrella and give it to Lu Dao.

Opening the umbrella to avoid thunder, fire and poison, Lu Dao pinched his fingers and chanted a spell, using witchcraft to activate it.

"Rumble--"

Deafening thunder came from the black umbrella.

On the umbrella, each and every mysterious spell flashed with dazzling lightning.

There were rolling thunderclouds that spewed out from the Thunder, Fire and Poison-Proof Umbrella, instantly covering the entire Great Immortal Temple.

"Thunder and fire purify evil!"

Following Lu Dao's command, bolts of lightning fell from the clouds and struck the group of believers who had been deformed into monsters.

Although the lightning struck these people, it did not hurt them.

It just shattered the evil spirit in them and dispelled the evil curse.

Lu Dao, holding an umbrella that could protect him from poison and thunder, stood in the lightning, just like the God of Thunder or the Goddess of Lightning, which made all the thieves in the temple stunned.

Especially Qiu Dao, who had used the Thunder and Fire Poison-avoiding Umbrella before, couldn't help but mutter in a low voice: "Oh my god, this umbrella is so powerful in the hands of Lu Wuguan?"

"The Thunder and Fire Poison-avoiding Umbrella can not only avoid poison, but also extinguish evil with thunder and fire. It is just right to use it at this moment."

While Lu Dao was activating the Thunder and Fire Poison-avoiding Umbrella to purify the evil spirits and curses from the believers, he also taught Shang Lu a trick.

“This umbrella has many wonderful uses, and the usage you have mastered in the Thief Office is only for ordinary warriors.

You have already refined the essence, you can go a step further and activate the thunder spell to bring out its greater effectiveness and power. Please remember the specific method and spell..."

Shanglu hurriedly concentrated his attention.

This was a rare opportunity, so he listened very carefully and memorized everything Lu Dao said. He would look for a chance to practice with the thunder and fire-avoiding poison umbrella when he came down.

During this process, the evil spirits and curses in the bodies of the believers in the temple were burned away by the thunder and fire.

Without the pollution of evil spirits and the control of evil curses, these people transformed from deformed monsters back to their original appearance.

But they are ordinary people after all, and under the erosion of evil spirits and the distortion of evil curses, they still suffer from various sequelae.

Some people's joints were broken and they could only collapse to the ground.

Some people had their skin torn and their bodies covered with pus, and they were wailing in pain.

After Lu Dao put away the thunder and fire umbrella, he waved his hand and put away the evil spirit that was entangled with these people.

Without the entanglement of evil spirits, some of the believers immediately wanted to escape.
