Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 330 New Character Card

"The fleet arrived at Tiger Leaping Gorge. Suddenly, a fine mist rose on the narrow river. In the mist, figures could be vaguely seen. What do you think? Narcissus Beauty? Bah, you are dreaming! Taking advantage of the mist, corpses and evil spirits came one after another! When everyone on the boat saw this scene, they were trembling with fear, and it was really like children crying and adults wailing. The captains of several ships reacted quickly and immediately ordered to turn around and escape from Tiger Leaping Gorge. But the corpses and evil spirits appeared, so how could they let them escape? No matter how the people on the boat raised the sails and paddled, the boat did not move on the river. The mist turned into tentacles, entwining the boat. The corpses and evil spirits swarmed the boat, wanting to kill people and take out their hearts, drink their blood and take over their bodies..."

In the teahouse, the storyteller picked up the wake-up stick and slapped the table when he got to this tense part. His tone of voice immediately rose a few notches. "In a flash, a figure appeared at the bow of the boat and shouted, 'The Demon-Suppressing County Lieutenant is here. All the evil spirits and sneaky people, please retreat immediately.' His shout was like thunder and lightning, shaking the rotten corpses that were climbing on the boat and the evil spirits that were clinging to the sails. They all fell to the ground and turned into ashes on the spot!"

"it is good!"

"The Demon-Suppressing County Lieutenant is indeed amazing!"

The audience in the teahouse immediately responded with warm applause and cheers. A few children even ran around, imitating the storyteller's posture, vying to be the demon-suppressing county lieutenant.

Such a lively scene attracted many people passing by outside the teahouse to stop and look in, curiously.

Some people even go in, order a pot of tea, sit down and listen to stories.

"Sir, the storyteller seems to be telling your story?"

Zhu Quan said in a low voice, looking quite surprised, as if he had not expected to be able to hear the stories of his own parents in this place, and they were told by a storyteller.

"Remove the word 'like' from the sentence. He is talking about me... what happened to me on my way to take up my post at the Zeicao Office."

Shang Lu felt both proud and somewhat embarrassed about his social demise.

Unlike him, Heiyun's horse face was full of dissatisfaction.

Because it's not in this story, hear it appear!
Back then in Tiger Leaping Gorge, its black cloud fought side by side with the Smilax glaucoma.

And to be honest, when charging to kill the enemy, it is half a body faster than Shanglu. If there is a finish line to cross, it will be the first to rush - after all, Shanglu is riding on it.

Hei Yun was very unhappy because he did not hear about his heroic performance in the storyteller's story. He immediately rushed into the teahouse to find the storyteller and "argued" with him with his horse's hoof.

Unfortunately, as soon as it took a step forward, Shang Lu grabbed it and pulled it back.

"Don't cause trouble."

Shang Lu raised his hand and patted Heiyun's head lightly, making it calm down instantly.

To be honest, Shang Lu did not expect that the events at Tiger Leaping Gorge would be made into a story by storytellers so quickly.

And judging from the situation in the teahouse, this story is very popular with the audience.

Shang Lu even saw that in the teahouse, someone was selling a sign with "Demon-Suppressing County Lieutenant" written on it.

It is said that a great witch has blessed it and that just by carrying it with you, you can ensure safety on the water. Some people actually buy it!

This incident made Shang Lu feel very funny.

He is not good at swimming, so how can he protect the safety of these people on the water?

Shang Lu did not go to the teahouse to stop these people from buying amulets.

It's no use trying to stop him. As soon as he leaves, he will definitely put it up for sale again.

The more you try to stop this kind of thing, the more people will think that the amulet is effective, which will have the exact opposite effect.

Moreover, these brands are not expensive, and people buy them just for psychological comfort, just like going to a temple to burn incense and pray for blessings. It is a matter of mutual consent, so let them be.

However, amid the cheers of the crowd, Shang Lu felt a trace of air flowing into his body.

Although these auras are weak, they are real.

Shang Lu suddenly remembered that ever since he learned the novelist's skills from the notes, he would occasionally gain some similar energy in recent times.

It was just because the energy was too weak, and he could collect spiritual energy from the witch academy every day and obtain essence from his internal organs, so he ignored it.

It was not until this moment that he realized that these energies were the novelist's way of practicing.

Draw strength and grow through feedback from readers and listeners.

But the stories told by the storyteller in the teahouse were not written by him.

He is just the protagonist in this story, can he also grow?

Can novelists not only "create gods" through stories, but also through stories... no, it should be said that they are deeds.

By spreading the deeds, can the protagonists of the deeds gain strength through the praise and admiration of the world?
This is similar to the method used by soldiers and wizards to create heroes through continuous victories to inspire the entire army and intimidate the enemy.

Shang Lu did not continue to stand outside the teahouse and listen to the storyteller tell his story.

Instead, he quickened his pace and rushed back to the post station.

He wanted to go back and take out the script he had seized earlier and take a closer look at it.

There might be some new content in the storybook.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Zhu Quan hurried to follow him.

Although Zhu Quan was attracted by the hustle and bustle of Washe, he wanted to make more progress.

After returning to the post station, Shang Lu took Heiyun and went straight back to his room.

Zhu Quan was sensible and did not follow in, but stayed in the yard to keep watch.

This job was not originally his job, but he had to put in some effort and show some performance in front of his leader.

Shang Lu didn't have time to see what Zhu Quan was doing. After he returned to the house, he took out two booklets from the bag on Heiyun's butt.

One is a novelist's notebook.

The other one is a storybook.

In the past period of time, Shang Lu has been reading his notes a lot, and he is very familiar with the contents, not to mention that he can recite them by heart.

So he just picked up the script.

After flipping through a few pages, he stopped.

There was indeed an additional story in this script, which was about his experience in Tiger Leaping Gorge.

After reading the story carefully, Shang Lu discovered that the story was not exactly the same as the real experience.

With a lot of artistic processing, the whole story becomes more exciting and attractive with twists and turns.

"Is this the story of Tiger Leaping Gorge told by storytellers?" Shang Lu guessed.

"This storybook can not only write stories, but also collect stories related to me?"

Shang Lu was amazed.

This is something that is not mentioned in the novelist's training notes.

Shang Lu flipped through the book again and found that there was only this story about Tiger Leaping Gorge in the book.

With so many storytellers in Longyou County, there must be many different versions of the story of Tiger Leaping Gorge.

Shang Lu even suspected that in some small places, there were colorful Tiger Leaping Gorge stories, the kind that were as outrageous as possible.

In order to make money, storytellers can make up any kind of stories.

Then why is only the story about Tiger Leaping Gorge included in the storybook?
Is it because it is closest to the truth? Or is it because it is the most popular?
At the same time, Shang Lu also discovered that there was only this one story included in the storybook.

There is no record of his later events, such as his admission to the Witch Academy and his investigation of wild gods.

"Is it because it wasn't made into a story and spread out?" Shang Lu guessed.

However, he did find a character card on the storybook.

The man was wearing a green robe of a county lieutenant and had an oxtail knife slung around his waist. Although his face could not be seen, one could tell that he was a man of extraordinary might and integrity.

In the blank space on the upper right corner of the character card, there are four words written: Demon-Suppressing County Lieutenant. Below that are a few lines of small words, which are some introductions to the Demon-Suppressing County Lieutenant.

"Seeing through like seeing fire: The Demon Suppression County Lieutenant is very sensitive to the aura of evil spirits and can detect them at the first moment.

Evil Slayer: The aura of the Demon Suppression County Lieutenant has a suppressive effect on demons and evil spirits, and can make evil creatures retreat. "

There had been a character card for the Demon-Suppressing County Lieutenant in the storybook before. But it was a monster with a green face and fangs, three heads and six arms, and a height and waist of ten feet. It was a character invented by the novelist before, and it was far from the real image of Shang Lu.

On the contrary, the character card that appears in the storybook at this moment looks quite like Shang Lu.

Especially that majestic and upright demeanor, which made Shang Lu nod repeatedly, feeling that he already had one third of his charm.

"What happens if this character card is activated?"

Shang Lu suddenly became very curious.

"Will another 'me' appear, or will the power contained in this character card be added to me?"

After a little consideration, Shang Lu decided to give it a try and immediately used the method he learned from his notes to activate this character card.

Shang Lu held the storybook in his left hand, and quickly made a hand gesture with his right hand, tapping on the character card.

With the influx of essence and energy, circles of colorful light immediately bloomed on the script.

The Demon-Suppressing County Lieutenant in the character card flew out with colorful light and grew rapidly.

By the time it landed on the ground, it had become as big as a Chinese rhubarb.

At the same time, a strange feeling appeared in Shang Lu's heart.

He felt that he could control this "Demon-Suppressing County Lieutenant" just like controlling a paper figure.

Shang Lu tried it immediately.

Sure enough, the "Demon-Suppressing County Lieutenant" who appeared in the house was able to perform various actions according to his wishes.

Just because he was not skilled enough, many of the movements of the "Demon-Suppressing County Lieutenant" seemed to be stumbling and clumsy.

But these are minor issues and you will get used to them with practice.

Shang Lu tested the strength of the "Demon-Suppressing County Lieutenant" again. Although he was not as strong as him, or even as strong as the paper man he made, he was still at the entry level of bone-cutting.

It is naturally impossible to use it to deal with powerful monsters and ghosts, and it cannot even defeat Black Cloud in a single fight.

But if you choose the right time and use it in the right place, you can still reap miraculous results.

And just because it is weak now doesn’t mean it will be bad in the future.

As storytellers continue to tell the story of the Demon-Suppressing County Lieutenant, more people will know about the Demon-Suppressing County Lieutenant and admire him. The strength of this "Demon-Suppressing County Lieutenant" character card will also increase.

In addition, this character card has another use.

As the seal formed by Shang Lu changed, the "Demon-Suppressing County Lieutenant" suddenly disintegrated, turned into colorful light, and flew into Shang Lu's body.

Although it did not significantly improve Shang Lu's strength, it made his eyes sharper.

It seems like he can really see through everything.

No matter how faint or hidden the evil spirit is, it cannot escape his eyes.

There was also a sense of awe-inspiring righteousness emanating from him that really had the effect of deterring evil spirits.

"interesting……"

Shang Lu felt his enhanced eyesight and momentum, and couldn't help but marvel at it.

The function of the character cards in the storybook is very similar to that of the Nuo masks, but there are some differences.

The power of Nuo masks comes from gods and is borrowed from spirits.

The power of the storytelling character cards comes from the readers and listeners.

The more readers and listeners recognize and believe in the power of a character, the stronger that character will become, and he or she may even gain magical powers in the story.

Shang Lu quickly ended his attempt. He released the seal on his hand and dots of colorful light flew out from his body, returning to the storybook and transforming into the appearance of a character card again.

But Shang Lu was in no hurry to put away the storybook.

He pondered: "If I write the story behind the Demon-Suppressing County Lieutenant and give it to booksellers and storytellers, will I be able to gain more readers and spread the name of the Demon-Suppressing County Lieutenant more widely, so that this character card can grow and become stronger?"

Thinking of this, Shang Lu couldn't help but get excited.

"There is also the story of the Monkey King. If I write it down, can I also get a character card of the Monkey King in the storybook? Even if I don't have the strength of the Monkey King, it would be good to have the level of a man of destiny."

The more Shang Lu thought about it, the more excited he became, and he immediately decided to write down these stories.

Although there was a calligraphy brush in his bag, he did not use it in a hurry. Instead, he took ordinary paper and pen to make a draft.

Shang Lu is ambitious and wants to write a story with ups and downs so that readers can be immersed in it at first sight.

However, he soon received a wake-up call. He no longer had any ambitions, but was filled with sorrow, like an eggplant wilted by frost.

"Damn it, when I was reading books before, I always felt that as long as I had hands, it would be fine. Now that I have started writing, why do I have no idea where to start? Everything I write doesn't seem right."

Shanglu scratched his ears and cheeks, and subconsciously reached out to grab his hair.

But I gave up after just one scratch because I was afraid of scratching myself bald.

No matter how handsome a person is, he will be unsightly when he becomes bald.

"Writing a book is not something a human should do. It's too tiring and too taxing on the brain."

Shang Lu took a look at the several hundred words he had written with great effort, and found them unbearable to read.

I simply picked up the pen and wrote a few strokes to erase all those hundreds of words.

After putting down the pen, he tore off the waste paper and crumpled it into a ball.

"No, I'm not cut out to write a book. I have to find someone to write for me. I only need to tell the story outline and requirements, and let the ghostwriter write the rest. I will do the final review, so that it won't interfere with my practice."

Phytolacca sighed.

It seems that he has no chance of being called a literary youth.

But who should I find to write for me?

First of all, this person must be able to tell stories, and secondly, he must be trustworthy.

If you meet someone unreliable who runs away with the story outline, then who will own the story after it is written?
Not to mention, you also have to use a French pen and a script to write the story.

Of course, the latter problem is easy to solve. Shang Lu can ask someone to write it on other paper, and then he can copy it into the storybook himself using a French brush.

In theory, Sanniang is the most suitable candidate, but Shang Lu doesn't know whether Sanniang can write stories. Even if she can, he doesn't want her to suffer.

"I have a headache!"

Shang Lu pinched the bridge of his nose.

At this time, a slightly cool little hand gently fell on both sides of his forehead and massaged his temples.

The force was just right, causing a refreshing and comfortable feeling to spread throughout Shang Lu's brain, sweeping away all the annoyance in his heart.

"What's the matter that's bothering you so much?"

Sanniang's gentle voice immediately appeared in Shang Lu's ears.
