Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 345: The Snake in the Nest
Panlong Valley is not just a path, it also includes the mountains on both sides, stretching for hundreds of miles.

You can't see much when you are in the valley. At most, you can see that the road is winding and the mountains on both sides are peaked and rugged.

But if you change the angle and fly high into the sky to look down, you will find that this place looks like a giant dragon lying on the ground, with a head, a tail and claws.

As for the continuous mountains on both sides of the avenue, they are like iron chains that lock up a giant dragon and suppress the dragon's shackles.

At least that's what Shang Lu thought.

That’s right, this guy is looking down at Panlong Valley from a high vantage point.

Shanglu certainly can't fly, but he has the wooden kite given to him by Senior Sister Gongshu.

As soon as he entered Panlong Valley, Shang Lu released all three wooden kites.

One advanced along the alley.

The other two were searching along the mountains on both sides.

According to what Shang Lu learned in the Nuo mask class, the Blood Sky Mine is a spiritual mine that was born from the gathering of energy from heaven and earth.

The energy of heaven is the essence of the sun, moon and stars.

The earth's energy is the confluence of the earth's veins and water veins.

Therefore, most of the Blood Sky Mines are open-pit mines, and they often appear at the intersection of earth veins and water veins.

Before coming to Panlong Valley, Shang Lu asked Feng Boyuan about the specific location where he collected the Blood Sky Mine.

Unfortunately, because the time was too long, Feng Boyuan could not remember clearly. He only said that it was useless to go to the location where he discovered the Blood Sky Mine, because at that time, he had mined all the Blood Sky Mine that he could see.

When Shang Lu heard this, he almost cursed: You mined all the Blood Sky Mine, and you still want me to go to Panlong Valley? Are you kidding me?
Fortunately, Feng Boyuan gave an explanation in time, saying that there must be more than one Blood Sky Mine in Panlong Valley. Shang Lu would definitely not return empty-handed.

Seeing his solemn promise, Shang Lu did not change places and continued to rush to Panlong Valley to try his luck.

If you really can't find the Blood Sky Mine, you can go to the ghost market in Heifengdu to buy some and make the Nuo mask first.

Shang Lu controlled the wooden kites and let them fly to the highest altitude they could in order to observe the direction of the earth veins.

Although he has no talent in Feng Shui, Sanniang does.

Shang Lu was not sure whether she had high talent, but Feng Shui and divination had many similarities with the divination and magic array that Sanniang learned.

At least Sanniang had learned the ability to identify the direction of the earth veins.

What Shang Lu had to do at this moment was to act as a "drawing tool" and draw on paper the direction and layout of the mountains scouted by the wooden kite.

Don't be afraid of a simple drawing, as long as it is accurate.

Sanniang looked at the rough map drawn by Shang Lu and quickly drew a few circles on it: "These places are the intersections of mountain ranges. You can focus on them and check them in detail."

Shang Lu nodded to show that he understood.

The area of ​​Panlong Valley is hundreds of miles. Even with a wooden kite, it is impossible to complete the reconnaissance so quickly. What Shang Lu drew at this moment was only the situation of dozens of miles around the valley entrance.

Let’s search this place first. If we find nothing, we can go inside.

Shang Lu rode on a paper horse and soon arrived at the intersection of one of the mountain ranges.

He was not idle along the way, and had the wooden kite searching, but he did not find anything noteworthy.

When they arrived at the place that needed special attention, Shanglu not only released the wooden kite, but also tore out a lot of paper people and paper dogs.

Sanniang also took out her tube-shaped banner and released ghosts to help search the mountain.

These ghosts were originally in the tube-shaped banner. After Sanniang obtained the tube-shaped banner, she subdued them along with the ghosts.

These ghosts may not be very useful in other matters, but they are just right for searching the mountain.

The only thing to worry about is whether they will be killed by the sun?

However, since Sanniang dared to release the ghost out of the tube banner at this time, it means there should be no problem.

Even Liuquan took out his banner and wanted to help search the mountain, but was stopped by Shang Lu.

This is a technical talent, he just needs to stay in the tube and write books. What if there are treasure-guarding beasts hidden in this mountain? With Liuquan's little ability, won't he be swallowed up in one gulp?
Zhu Quan, Du Feng, Tu Pi and others already knew Shang Lu's purpose on their way to Panlong Valley.

They certainly had no objection.

They are even very happy to be able to help their leaders with personal matters. They feel that this means their leaders trust them and they must go all out to live up to their leaders' trust.

Shang Lu didn't even have to do anything, they PUA themselves.

At this moment, although Zhu Quan, Du Feng, Tu Bin and others could not see Sanniang, they saw Shang Lu releasing wooden kites and paper figures one after another, and offering sacrifices to the tube-shaped flags.

At the same time, I could feel gusts of cold wind blowing.

They immediately realized that this place was the area that Shanglu wanted to focus on searching, and they all volunteered to join the ranks of searching the mountain for the Blood Sky Mine.

But Shang Lu did not agree and just let them rest where they were.

With wooden kites, paper figures and ghosts, the intensity of the mountain search is sufficient.

Even if Zhu Quan, Du Feng and others joined, they wouldn't be able to help much. It would be better for them to have a good rest in case of emergency.

The area was quickly searched, but no trace of the Blood Sky Mine was found.

Paper figures and ghosts are fine, but the wooden kite is extremely useful in collecting rare treasures - not only can it fly in the sky, it can also scan rock formations and identify plants and minerals.

With the help of the wooden kite, Shang Lu no longer needs to cross mountains and rivers to look for mines himself. He just needs to release it, and the plants, animals, and minerals on the mountains will be clearly marked.

It is even possible to calculate the approximate situation of spiritual mines inside the mountain by scanning the rock strata.

Shanglu kept calling it a good baby.

This is really a good baby!

Not only can it serve as an unmanned attack aircraft, but it can also be used in scientific research, exploration, treasure hunting and other fields. Its functions are so comprehensive that it is a must-have for murder, robbery, home travel and other purposes.

No wonder Gongshu Ling lent him the wooden kite to help him search for the Five Evil Stones.

After taking back the wooden kite, Shang Lu called Zhu Quan, Du Feng and others, "Let's go to another place."

As for paper people and paper dogs, there is no need to recall them.

When their vital energy is exhausted, they will destroy themselves.

Shanglu was also able to hone his paper-cutting skills in the process.

While riding his paper horse to the next area, Shang Lu did not forget to mobilize his vital energy to "charge" the three wooden kites.

At the same time, he was summarizing his experiences and gains and losses on horseback.

Therefore, when they arrived at the next place that might give birth to the Blood Sky Mine, Shang Lu made adjustments to the number and the essence of the paper figures he released.

Achieve the best effect at the lowest cost.

Unfortunately, the Blood Sky Mine has not been found in this place.

Shang Lu was not in a hurry.

Panlong Valley stretches for hundreds of miles, and this is just the beginning.

In a blink of an eye, two days passed.

Shang Lu and his men worked day and night and searched most of Panlong Valley.

Although the Blood Sky Mine was not found, many other medicinal herbs and minerals that could be used for making elixirs and tools were discovered.

All thanks to the wooden kite's recognition function.

Otherwise, even if it is Shanglu, if it doesn't get close, it won't be able to perceive the spiritual energy contained in the medicinal materials and minerals, and will only miss them.

In the spirit of a thief never leaves empty-handed, Shang Lu collected all the medicinal herbs and minerals.

He couldn't use it, but he could take it back to the Witch Academy and sell it at the Yunshang Market. Or he could trade it with others at the Ghost Market in Heifengdu and get some useful things in return.

This afternoon.

While searching the new area, Shanglu finally saw several scarlet stones that looked like blood clots on the top of a mountain through the eyes of the wooden kite.

"Is it the Blood Sky Mine?!"

Shang Lu, who was originally slumped on the ground, sat up straight in an instant and controlled the wooden kite to fly closer.

He soon saw the identification mark through the wooden kite's vision: "Blood Sky Mine". "It really is the Blood Sky Mine, haha, I finally found it."

Shang Lu was overjoyed and immediately rode his paper horse to the top of the mountain where the Blood Sky Mine was discovered.

However, although he was happy, Shang Lu did not let his guard down.

He immediately ordered the wooden kite to fly low and conduct a survey around the Blood Sky Mine to see if there were any treasure-guarding beasts or the like hidden there.

This investigation actually resulted in a discovery.

The wooden kite quickly sent back an alarm: "Attention, a demon has been spotted! Attention, a demon has been spotted!"

"There really is a treasure-guarding beast?"

Shang Lu raised his eyebrows, and while asking Zhu Quan, Du Feng and others to restrain their breath and catch up, he sent three wooden kites to search the area around the Blood Sky Mine.

I want to find out the exact location of the monster and determine its approximate strength.

However, the three wooden kites circled several times on the top of the mountain where the Blood Sky Mine was discovered, but apart from sounding the alarm to warn of the presence of evil spirits, they found nothing else.

Even on the top of that mountain, there was nothing but rocks and grass, not even a mouse.

Is it that the wooden kite malfunctioned and caused a false alarm?

Shang Lu, who was riding a paper horse, frowned slightly.

But he quickly dispelled this speculation.

On the top of that mountain, there is not even a single bird, mouse or other animal to be seen. Doesn't that indicate that something is strange?

It is obvious that there is danger hidden there, which is why the birds, mice and other animals in the mountains dare not approach!
There must be monsters hiding near the Blood Sky Mine! Maybe it's those simple-looking rocks and plants.

The discovery of the evil spirit prevented Shang Lu from rushing to the top of the mountain.

He led Zhu Quan, Du Feng, Tu Bin and others and stopped on the hillside thousands of steps away. They could not only see the top of the mountain from afar, but also make adjustments at any time according to the actual situation.

With the blessing of the Liver God, even though it was thousands of steps away and there were rocks, plants and trees blocking the way, Shang Lu still saw a wisp of evil spirit floating on the top of the mountain.

At first glance, this demonic aura is not strong, and people will subconsciously think that the monster guarding the Blood Sky Mine is not very powerful and can be easily dealt with.

But at this time, Shang Lu took out the storybook, activated the character card of "Demon-Suppressing County Lieutenant", and borrowed the ability of "Seeing Through Fire".

With the blessing of the Liver God and the ability to "see through fire", Shang Lu saw a very strong evil spirit in this seemingly weak demonic aura.

The monster guarding the Blood Sky Mine is pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger!

"Could this monster be using the Blood Sky Mine to make a nest?"

Shang Lu suddenly thought of a possibility.

The monster hid its body, restrained its demonic aura, and pretended to be weak, just to make the people who came to collect the Blood Sky Mine let down their guard.

Then it will take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness and attack and eat it!
You should know that Blood Sky Mine is not only the basic material for making the first-grade Nuo masks, but also the material needed by practitioners who are just starting to learn about making tools, refining pills, and even building formations.

The common point among these people is that their cultivation has just entered the innate realm.

Almost all of them are at the entry level of Qi training, or have achieved some minor success in Qi training.

In addition, there are also some treasure hunters who make a living by collecting natural treasures.

The strength of these people is even lower.

Based on this speculation, the monster that used the Blood Sky Mine as its nest and waited in wait to eat people must be at least at the Qi Refining Stage!
I just don’t know how much “above” it is.

While looking at the situation on the top of the mountain, Shang Lu took out the jade token of the Witch Academy and sent a message to Feng Boyuan, asking for information about the monster guarding the treasure.

Feng Boyuan quickly replied, but was surprised: "Treasure-guarding monster? I didn't encounter this thing when I was collecting blood-sky ore before. Did you go to the wrong place?"

Shang Lu thought for a moment and asked him, "Brother Feng, when was the last time you came to Panlong Valley to collect the Blood Sky Mine?"

Feng Boyuan replied: "It was several decades ago, right? I can't remember the exact time. Anyway, after I reached the minor success of Zhou Tian cultivation and learned the method of making low-grade Nuo masks, I never went to collect blood sky ore again."

Shang Lu was speechless for a moment.

Big changes can happen in just a few years, let alone decades.

Shang Lu was not discouraged even though he failed to get any information from Feng Boyuan.

"Zhu Quan, take out the clothes."

He quickly thought of a solution and signaled Zhu Quan to take out a leather bag from the bag on his horse.

Zhu Quan handed the leather bag to Shang Lu. After he took it, he shook it, and the folded leather bag immediately unfolded like a jumpsuit. He blew air violently at the head of the leather bag.

Shang Lu blew with great force with each breath, blowing the air into the leather bag.

In just a few strokes, the leather bag was inflated to life-size... No, to be precise, it looked like a real person.

Besides not being able to breathe, I couldn't move.

After Shang Lu stopped blowing, he pinched his fingers and chanted a spell, transferring a wisp of essence and energy into the leather bag.

Then he opened his mouth and blew a breath towards his right index finger.

A small crack immediately appeared on the fingertip.

A few drops of blood were squeezed out by Shanglu and applied to the skin bag's eyebrows, chest and other parts.

Then, strange changes began to occur to this skin bag. First, it began to breathe, then it opened its eyes, and it was able to walk, move, and even speak.

It looks just like a real person!
It even has body temperature and exudes the aura of a wizard in the Qi Refining Realm.

This leather bag called human clothing was a collection of the thief Cao Shu in Baiyi County.

It is said that it was seized during an operation to capture evil practitioners in cooperation with the Witch Academy.

It is made by evil practitioners using the skin peeled off from living people, and then using evil methods to make it.

When folded up, it is only the size of a book. Once inflated and activated by pinching fingers and chanting a spell, it will become a "living person".

If necessary, even the appearance can become exactly the same as the caster.

Another way to use it is to put on someone else's clothes and change into someone else's appearance.

At that time, the evil cultivator relied on this vicious and evil skill to escape capture every time.

If it weren't for that raid, when the witch from the Discipline Department offered sacrifices and asked the strange god with eyes full of eyes to send down power to help, I'm afraid that evil cultivator would have escaped.

Shang Lu didn't even need to give orders, he just stuffed an iron pickaxe into the man's pocket, and with a thought, this "living man" quickly moved towards the Blood Sky Mine on the top of the mountain.

The distance of thousands of steps was reached in a flash.

Ren Yi arrived in front of the Blood Sky Mine, raised his pickaxe and started digging the Blood Sky Mine.

"boom--"

At this moment, a huge mouth suddenly rushed out from the top of the mountain.

With lightning speed, he swallowed the clothes in one gulp!
Even though they were thousands of steps away, Zhu Quan, Du Feng, Tu Pi and others still clearly saw this strange and bizarre scene!
That huge mouth is more than enough to swallow an elephant, let alone a person!

Even though Zhu Quan, Du Feng and Tu Pi were well-informed, they couldn't help but exclaim.

Fortunately, they covered their mouths in time and were not exposed.

Shang Lu used the wooden kite hovering in the sky to see clearly the details of the monster!
That's a snake!

A huge snake whose scales looked like petrified!

At this moment, Mu Yuan recognized the giant snake's identity and labeled it: "Ba Snake."

Bass snake?

Is it the snake that eats the ox and the snake that swallows the elephant?

No wonder it’s so big!

A giant petrified python, its strength is at the small success stage of Zhou Tian or even higher!
Shanglu has just started to practice the Zhoutian.

This Blood Sky Mine... is difficult to mine!
