Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 355: I, Shang Lu, have become a soul-catcher?

Tu Bo?!
Shang Lu was shocked when he heard the name shouted by thousands of ghosts.

This mysterious and strange deity is actually Tubo, the incarnation of Youdu?
This is Hou Bo, who is under the command of Queen Hou Tu. He is a real big boss and a local lord among the gods!

Shang Lu understood instantly. No wonder the group of gods who were watching and talking about the matter suddenly fell silent when he asked Tu Bo's name.

Because they are not on the same level at all!

They even dared not to hear the name of Tubo.

Fortunately, Tubo did not speak His name himself, but let the ghosts in the underworld shout out, still using the language of the Ba people, not the language of God.

Otherwise, Shang Lu would probably be scared to death the moment he heard His divine name.

Shang Lu even suspected that when he asked Tubo's name just now, the gods such as Kaishan Mangjiang, Hebo's messenger, etc., all lost their voices and exclaimed in their hearts: "Fuck this young man, how dare he?"

Shang Lu finally understood why the temple in the Witch Academy, which had been passed down from ancient times, was filled with a strange and rugged road crawling with humans, monsters, and gods.

Because that strange road is Youdu, it is Tubo!
According to witchcraft, all living beings are under the jurisdiction of the underworld after death.

Even if demons, ghosts, and wizards use various means to keep souls in the human world, they must always be on guard against the evil spirits and ghosts sent from the underworld.

If you follow the "legal" procedures to stay in the human world, you only need to deal with the interrogation of the evil spirits and ghosts.

However, if one tries to stay in the human world by using evil magic, he will be captured by the evil spirits and ghosts.

However, the catastrophe that occurred thousands of years ago seemed to have caused great damage to Youdu.

The number of evil spirits and ghosts patrolling the human world has decreased significantly.

The result of this is that there are more and more wandering ghosts, evil spirits and other evil spirits lingering in the human world.

But this is not a bad thing for the witch officials.

The more demons there are and the stronger the enemies are, the more important they are...

"Oh, no!"

After finding out Tu Bo's identity, Shang Lu was only briefly surprised, and then he became nervous.

Sanniang is also a ghost, and she ran from Youdu to the human world to find her husband. Wouldn’t she be taken back to Youdu by Tubo?
Shang Lu quickly turned his head and looked at Sanniang beside him.

But Sanniang was still playing with the yarrow in her hand, and she was not worried at all about Tu Bo's appearance.

Looking at the Jiuqu Youdu formed by the green smoke, it seemed that it had no intention of taking Sanniang away.

Shang Lu suddenly remembered that Tu Bo had met Sanniang when he was in spiritual communication before.

If he really wanted to take Sanniang away, he should have done it at that time.

"So Sanniang came to the human world through 'legal' procedures? That's right. My marriage to Sanniang was arranged by Hou Tu Niangniang. I 'resurrected from the dead', and Hou Tu Niangniang was kind-hearted and could not bear to see Sanniang and I living apart, so she allowed her to come to the human world to find me..."

Shang Lu tried to guess the reason.

At the same time, he couldn't help but wonder, could it be that Tu Bo favored him because of the care of Queen Hou Tu?

Or is it related to the fact that he died once and came back to life?

or……

Shang Lu suddenly turned his head and looked at Sanniang again.

Is it related to Sanniang?

Shang Lu was thinking when he suddenly felt a gust of cold wind blowing on him.

Not only were the temperatures of these cold winds extremely low, making Shang Lu instantly feel as if he was in an ice cave, but they also penetrated his body and blew onto his soul.

In an instant, Shang Lu felt that his soul and consciousness were about to be frozen.

Shang Lu turned back hurriedly.

As expected, the source of the chilly wind was the Netherworld transformed from green smoke floating above the altar.

It was the gloomy wind from the Nine-bend Netherworld that blew to the human world.

Shang Lu even heard the soul-stirring and hair-raising howling of ghosts and wolves from the Nine Bends Netherworld transformed from the green smoke...

Was it because Tubo was unhappy because he saw him in a daze and was urging him to draw the Nuo mask quickly?

Having been warned, Shang Lu did not dare to delay, and quickly picked up the Yin-Yang Willow that was struck by lightning and marked by Tu Bo. He dipped the talisman pen into witch ink and began to draw the witch spell according to the Nine-Curved Netherworld that was transformed by the green smoke.

And something that Shang Lu did not expect also happened at this moment.

Sanniang, who had been fiddling with yarrow to practice divination, sensed the cold wind blowing out from the misty city. She raised her hand and lifted half of her veil, revealing half of her jade-smoky face and a pair of alluring red lips.

Sanniang slightly opened her red lips and inhaled the cold wind that could freeze a person's soul and blood into her stomach.

Unfortunately, Shang Lu was concentrating on drawing witch spells and making Nuo masks, and did not notice this incident at all, thus missing the opportunity to peek at Sanniang's appearance.

Although Tu Bo was somewhat surprised that Sanniang swallowed the Yin Feng, he did not stop her.

He even blew out a few wisps of cold wind to feed Sanniang.

Soon, Sanniang, who had drunk her fill of wind, stopped practicing divination with yarrow stalks and instead worked on her energy to digest the evil wind in her stomach.

Shanglu had experience in making mountain god Nuo masks. Although there was no improvement in speed, the level of detail was very different from before.

He avoided several mistakes he had made before.

As the witch spell was completed, the Nine-Curved Netherworld condensed from green smoke flew straight to the Yin-Yang Willow that was struck by lightning.

Shang Lu once again heard the roars of thousands of ghosts, and seemed to see the gloomy underworld shrouded in fog, and the purgatory hidden in the underworld.

When lightning struck the Yin-Yang Willow, the excess wood fell off on its own, and soon formed a Nuo mask with a black base and twisted threads all over it.

The next moment, the Nuo mask melted into a pool of sticky black water, which penetrated into Shang Lu's body through the pores on his hands.

Through the method of inner vision, Shang Lu clearly saw that Tu Bo's Nuo mask was also placed in the five internal organs temple.

Together with the Nuo mask of the god with a pig body, eight legs and a snake tail, it was enshrined on the altar in front of the statue of the spleen god.

"It's done!"

Shang Lu was very excited.

The teacher of the Nuo witch class said that for beginners like them, failing three or four times is considered good.

Some people, because they do not worship the gods long enough or their sacrifices are not good enough, may fail a dozen or even dozens of times and may not succeed.

They might even be punished for angering the gods.

It is rare to see someone like Shanglu succeed in making two Nuo masks in a row at the first try.

Even though what Shang Lu made were only entry-level Nuo masks, his knowledge and skills in this area were just at the entry level.

It can only be said that in addition to his real talent in this area, it was also thanks to the care of the pig-bodied, eight-legged, snake-tailed god and Tu Bo.

As Shang Lu successfully made the Tu Bo Nuo mask, the invisible eyes between heaven and earth seemed to disappear.

Shang Lu couldn't help but let out a breath of foul air.

Being noticed by gods is not an easy thing.

If you are not careful, it may be contaminated.

Shang Lu relaxed, raised his hand and wiped his face, while visualizing Jiuqu Youdu in his mind.

A black Tubo Nuo mask immediately appeared on his face.

Shang Lu's aura suddenly changed, becoming cold and strange, as if he was not a living person, but an envoy from Youdu.

After putting on the Tubo Nuo mask, Shang Lu looked around again and found that the scene he saw was very different from what he had seen with his naked eyes before.

The night was still dark, but in the darkness, Shang Lu saw wandering souls.

Not only animals have souls, but plants and trees also have souls.

Even Shanglu could see the state of these souls. There were no animals around the altar, so Shanglu only saw the spirits of plants and trees.

These plants have not yet opened their spiritual orifices, so the arrival of the gods has relatively little impact on them. At least during the period when Shanglu was communicating with the gods and performing the Nuo ritual, they were not polluted and did not go crazy or mutate.

The spirits of these plants and trees also appear very weak.

Looking into the distance, Shanglu can occasionally see some nocturnal animals active in the night.

The spirits of these animals are stronger than those of plants and trees.

In addition, Shang Lu also saw some wandering ghosts floating in the night.

These dead ghosts are different from the spirits in living animals and plants and can be distinguished at a glance.

If he encounters zombies pretending to be living people again, Shang Lu can just put on the Tubo Nuo mask and tell them apart at a glance.

Even Shang Lu could see the weaknesses of these ghosts and how to deal with them...

It was also at this moment that Shang Lu once again heard the voice that Tu Bo made with the help of thousands of ghosts.

Only this time, the sound did not ring in his ears, but directly in his body, exploding in his soul:

"Catch the ghost...get the ghost!"

Capture the soul and catch the ghost? Is this an order for me?

Shang Lu recalled the knowledge points he had heard in the Nuo witch class.

It is mentioned that while some gods allow wizards to make Nuo masks to borrow power, they will also ask the wizards to do something in exchange.

At the same time, Shang Lu felt a chill on the back of his hand.

He raised his hand and looked down, then he saw the divine seal of Youdu appear on the back of his right hand.

"So you use this divine seal to capture souls and ghosts?"

Shang Lu muttered to himself.

"Is Tu Bo using me as a soul-collecting messenger? Then am I the Black and White Impermanence, or the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Impermanence? Most likely an ox or a horse, after all, there is no salary to be paid..."

When thinking about capturing souls and ghosts, Shang Lu thought of Sanniang's tube-shaped banner.

"Even if I really managed to hook up ghosts, I would definitely send them into Sanniang's tube streamer to be brothers. Only when Sanniang's tube streamer can no longer hold them, will I send them to the underworld."

When Shang Lu thought about this, he subconsciously turned his head and looked at Sanniang.

This sight gave him a great surprise.

Sanniang is a ghost, but her soul is different from those wandering ghosts floating in the distance.

It has vitality and life fire, just like the soul of a living person.

However, the degree of vitality and life fire seems very weak.

"Could it be that I was right? Sanniang will be resurrected as her cultivation level improves? But her physical body is probably long gone... Is she going to imitate Ou Ba and use special materials to rebuild her physical body?"

Not only was Shang Lu confused by these questions, even Sanniang herself couldn't figure them out.

We can only talk about it when our cultivation reaches that level.

Fortunately, Shang Lu had heard many stories about ghost cultivators rebuilding their bodies in the Witch Academy.

As long as you ask around, you will definitely find a way.

Putting aside his distracting thoughts, Shang Lu continued to study the effects and consumption of the Nuo mask.

Not only did he study the Nuo mask of Tubo, he also changed out and put on the Nuo mask of the god with a pig body, eight legs and a snake tail.

After some research, Shang Lu had a general understanding of the two types of Nuo masks.

Tu Bo's Nuo mask not only allows Shang Lu to see souls, but also allows him to borrow a magical power of [Soul Locking].

This magical power directly acts on the target's soul.

Once the soul is locked, the body will also become stiff.

Although Shang Lu was unable to judge the specific power of [Soul Lock] because he had no actual opponent, even if he could only lock it for a moment, it could still decide the outcome when used at a critical moment.

The Nuo mask of the god with a pig body, eight legs and a snake tail can allow Shanglu to borrow two magical powers.

One is to control wild beasts.

But this magical power has a prerequisite, it must be used in the mountains.

Another magical power is controlling the earth.

It includes earth escape techniques and methods such as gathering earth to form walls.

Shang Lu tried it. Although its current power is not as strong as Sanniang's spells, if used well, it can greatly enrich tactical means.

In addition to his magical powers, Shang Lu can also use two Nuo masks to borrow divine power and forcibly improve his cultivation.

He also tried it briefly, and with the highest level of cultivation, he could break through to the level of Zhoutian Dacheng.

As an entry-level Nuo mask, this is already a very good effect.

Of course, using divine power to forcibly improve one's cultivation would consume a huge amount of Qi, blood, and essence.

Shang Lu didn't dare to do an actual test to see how long he could last, but just made an estimate based on the consumption of the short attempt.

With his current condition of Qi, blood, essence and energy, even if he forcibly raised it to the state of Great Perfection of Zhoutian, he could only last for half a quarter of an hour at most.

The time is not long, but it is enough when you need to fight desperately.

I just don't know if it can be used in conjunction with [Breakthrough]?
If possible, as long as enough enemies are killed, the qi, blood, essence and vital energy can be continuously replenished.

Moreover, the combat skill [Breaking the Elephants] can also stack the attack and defense power.

Maybe the combat power that will eventually burst out can even break through the level of Zhou Tian Dacheng!
Not to mention, in addition to [The Will to Break Through the Formation], the Soldier Wizard also has other combat skills such as [One Against a Thousand] and [Bloody Battle].

All of them are achieved by killing the enemy, plundering the enemy's strength, and at the same time rallying the morale of friendly forces for their own deployment.

Theoretically speaking, as long as he kills enough enemies, Shanglu's blood, essence and vital energy will not be exhausted, and will be able to support him and allow him to use the Nuo mask for a long time.

Of course, if you don't force your cultivation to improve, and just borrow the magical powers of the two gods through the Nuo mask, the consumption will be very low.

Seeing that it was almost the hour of Chou, Shang Lu paused his research on the Nuo mask and prepared to put away the altar first.

Otherwise, after the hour of Chou, the thoughts of the gods will still linger here.

Once a god falls into madness, it will cause fatal pollution to him.

Moreover, if the altar is not taken down, it may attract the spying of evil gods.

But at this moment, several crazy roars like wild beasts suddenly broke the silence of the night and came from not far away.

No, these voices are not from beasts, they are from humans!

Someone tried to sneak close to here, but ended up being contaminated by the gods and went crazy? !
Shang Lu’s mind moved.

He was not in a hurry to close the altar, but ran towards the direction where the sound came from to check the situation.

As long as the altar is there, Tubo’s attention will not fade away.

You may be able to withstand it, but others may not be able to.

It was with this thought in mind that Shang Lu suddenly turned back after running a few steps.

He picked up the altar.

He actually wanted to use it as a weapon and let the charming ancestor help him in the battle!
If anyone dares to destroy the altar, Tubo and the pig-bodied, eight-legged, snake-tailed god will definitely not let them off.

Therefore, even if the identity of the person coming is unknown and his strength is unknown, Shang Lu is not afraid.
