Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 362 Earth Sheep Ghost

The broker hiding behind the grimace seemed to have expected Shang Lu to give such an answer. He was not angry, but threatened with a grimace and a grin:
"Don't let go? Then you are seeking death!"

"Just you?" Shang Lu sneered.

Although he seemed disdainful, he actually enhanced his vision, hearing, smell and other senses to the maximum.

At the same time, he also borrowed the magical power of "Seeing through fire" of the "Demon-Suppressing County Lieutenant" from the novelist's story.

Although the contact during the day was brief, it was enough for Shang Lu to judge that the broker hiding behind the ghost face was not a blindly arrogant person.

At this moment, the Hair Ghost and Shadow Tomb sent by the broker have been captured, but he still looks so arrogant and confident.

Or they are just trying to scare people by appearing to be powerful but actually being weak.

Or maybe he really has a powerful back-up plan, so we must be on guard!
Soon, Shang Lu heard the nervous movements of the guests in other rooms of the inn. He also smelled the iron smell of weapons and the special smell of magic.

But all of this had nothing to do with the broker behind the ghost face, nor was it aimed at Shang Lu and the others. Rather, it was the other guests in the inn who were taking precautions to avoid being involved in this matter or having their treasures and property stolen by someone taking advantage of the chaos.

At this moment, Shang Lu was not the only one who was vigilantly paying attention to the situation around him.

After hearing what Gui Lian said, Zhu Quan, Du Feng and others immediately looked around with caution.

Some thieves even held shields and knives, walked quickly to the doors and windows, were carefully on guard, and quickly stuck their heads out to look out.

Seeing this, the ghost face on the bloody hairpin laughed sharply and piercingly: "Where are you looking at? Take a close look at your hands and feet!"

What happened to our hands and feet?
There was a strong inducement in the broker's words, which made the thieves subconsciously lower their heads and look at their hands and feet.

This sight immediately made the thieves terrified.

"My hands... Why did my hands turn into wood?"

"What kind of evil magic is this? When did it take effect? ​​It turned my left hand and right foot into stone?"

"Hiss... They're numb, my hands and feet are completely out of control!"

"Me too, my hands and feet are completely numb... Quick, take out the black dog blood."

The thieves screamed in fear because they saw that their hands and feet had turned into rotten wood stakes and broken stones. They also lost consciousness and control of their hands and feet.

The swords and shields in their hands suddenly fell to the ground with clangs.

Some people even fell to the ground because their feet turned into wooden stakes and stones, making it impossible for them to stand steadily.

Because his hands had turned into wood and stone, he was unable to support his body and could only lie half on the ground, screaming in fear.

The thieves who were still able to move either hopped on one foot or crawled on the ground. They reached the luggage bag, took out things like black dog blood and boy's urine, and poured them into the hands that had turned into wood and stone.

In an instant, a fishy odor filled the dormitory room.

However, the thieves' hands and feet did not return to their original state, and they remained rotten wood and broken stones.

Not only the Qiu thieves, but also Zhu Quan, Du Feng, Tu Bin, and even Shang Lu had their hands and feet turned into wood and stone.

Amid the terrified screams of the thieves, the broker's smug laughter sounded particularly harsh:
“Hahaha, now you know how powerful I am, right?
That's right, I alone can take your lives!

Now only your hands and feet have turned into wood and stone, but this curse will spread from your limbs to your torso. Before long, your internal organs and your head will all turn into wood and stone! You can still survive if your hands and feet turn into wood and stone, but when your internal organs and head turn into wood and stone, will you still be able to survive? "

Everyone's faces turned pale and they couldn't help but think along the lines of the broker: Yes, if the hands and feet turned into wood and stone, the person could still be alive, but if the internal organs and the brain turned into wood and stone, could the person still be alive?
Youqiudao murmured in despair: "I can't survive... I can't survive..."

"That's right, you can't survive!"

The broker's tone was firm and unquestionable: "Once your bodies turn into wood and stone, you will die suddenly. There is no chance of survival. Look, your hands and feet are almost all turned into wood and stone. It will be your torso's turn soon."

Following the broker's reminder, the thieves also felt that the parts of their bodies that had turned into wood and stone were increasing rapidly and were spreading to their torsos and heads.

What followed was a strong sense of oppression.

It was as if the body was about to explode due to petrification.

Qiu Dao was horrified and hurriedly used his energy to protect his body with his blood and energy to stop the petrification from spreading.

The broker noticed the thieves' actions and laughed even more fiercely: "It's useless. With your strength, you can't resist my spell at all!"

In the hearts of the thieves, they once again agreed with the broker's words and thought in unison: Yes, it can't be stopped.

Then I saw the body turning into wood and stone. It was unstoppable and spread rapidly from the limbs to the torso.

Even Zhu Quan, Du Feng and Tu Pi were panicked at this moment.

Only Shang Lu remained calm.

His right hand also turned into a piece of rotten wood.

Although he was shocked and stunned, he was quickly thinking in his mind what was going on.

Looking at the broker's appearance during the day, there was no fluctuation of spiritual energy or witchcraft power.

Or, the broker's cultivation level is far beyond Shang Lu's.

Or the broker’s strength is not even at the Qi Refining stage.

Being able to control ghosts and perform magic is usually achieved through some vicious and evil means.

Or maybe, he has some rare spiritual treasures with strange functions in his hands.

Shang Lu's cultivation level had already reached the Zhoutian realm. Even if the broker had some treacherous and evil means and a residual spirit, it was impossible for him to fall into the trap without even noticing it.

And it directly turned his right hand into rotten wood.

Not to mention anything else, just the protective energy and divine power in his body should not have no reaction!

Moreover, Shang Lu also sensed something strange in the broker's words, which were uttered with a grimace.

The broker's words are full of deceptive rhetoric.

He was deliberately leading people to think that petrification would spread, and he was deliberately making people believe that once the body and head turned into wood and stone, they would die suddenly.

In a flash, Shang Lu connected all the abnormalities together.

This leads to a conclusion.

He lowered his head and looked at his right hand which had turned into rotten wood.

"My hands didn't turn into wood. This is all just an illusion!"

If the brokers really had the ability to turn people into wood and stone, why did they start with their hands and feet? Wouldn't it be better to just turn their heads and hearts into wood and stone and let them die suddenly?

Why do you have to say so much and waste so much time?

Because all this is an illusion.

The brokers did not actually turn their hands and feet into wood or stone.

It was just an illusion that deceived their eyes and senses, making them think their hands and feet had turned to wood and stone. Then they used rhetoric to make them think that the petrification would spread and kill them!

In this way, when the illusion turns the body into stone, everyone can scare themselves to death!

Don't think this is unbelievable. You know, it's like some people with terminal illnesses, if they don't know they have a terminal illness, they may be able to live longer. But once they know the disease, they can't bear the blow and suffer a mental breakdown. Even if they could have lived a few more years, they can't even hold on for a month or two and die quickly.

The human spirit is very powerful.

It can save lives, but it can also kill people.

Shang Lu, who had made a judgment, immediately activated the liver statue in the temple of the five internal organs, causing it to emit green light that flowed into his eyes, pushing the effect of his magical power of "seeing through fire" to the extreme.

This time, when he looked at his right hand again, what he saw was not rotten wood, but a ball of cursed aura wrapped around his right hand, still surging and flowing.

The broker didn't know that his illusion had been discovered, and he was still trying to scare them with his face: "I wanted to give you a way out, but you don't know what's good for you, so don't blame me for being ruthless..."

But just when he was feeling proud, Shang Lu suddenly spoke up, his voice like thunder, interrupting him with a loud shout:

"It's all fake! It's just an illusion! Don't be fooled by him!"

After hearing this, the ghost face was still ferocious and did not change. However, the broker hiding behind the ghost face suddenly changed his expression and secretly said that something was wrong.

He couldn't understand how the other party could see through his realistic illusion.
He only knew that the other party's tone was firm and his words were confident, and it was obvious that he had really seen through his tricks, rather than just making shocking statements to deceive him.

What the donor didn't know was that Shang Lu's words were so decisive, and he actually used his eloquence and sophistry to make Zhu Quan and others listen to his words instantly, so that their hands and feet turned into wood and stone, and they became suspicious.

As long as you have doubts, even if the illusion cannot be broken in a short time, at least you will not be scared or deceived to death!
This trick was very useful. It not only changed everyone's mentality instantly, but also made the broker anxious.

He couldn't understand why these people trusted Shang Lu so much? Just based on Shang Lu's words, they doubted his illusion.

When he used this trick before, some people suspected that it was an illusion, but not only did he fail to convince his companions, he was shaken by what his companions said.

But why is the situation completely different for this group of people?
The broker was so shocked that he tried to improve his illusion and rhetoric.

But before he could do that, he saw a dazzling golden light suddenly burst out from Shang Lu's hand.

This golden light contains a boiling power.

It doesn't look like essence, nor like witchcraft, nor like blood.

It feels more like the scorching sun at noon!

Although the donor saw the golden light with the help of the ghost face, he still felt that his eyes had suffered great damage and were extremely painful, as if he was going blind.

"what--"

Amidst screams, the broker was briefly blinded by the golden light.

When his eyes regained their sight, he saw that Shang Lu's right hand had turned from rotten wood back to its original state.

And in Shang Lu's hand, there was a thin gray hair.

The broker's heart sank to the bottom in an instant.

Zhu Quan, Du Feng, Tu Pi and others also saw this scene.

Unlike the brokers, after seeing Shang Lu's hand return to its original state, they became more and more convinced that they were under an illusion.

"It is indeed an illusion!"

"This thief actually used magic to deceive us. How despicable!"

"Fortunately, my Lord is very perceptive, otherwise, we would have really been fooled by the illusion!"

The change in their mentality made them feel differently about their own hands and feet that had become like wood and stone.

Although his hands and feet still looked like rotten wood and broken stones, he had regained consciousness and could even move.

When the broker saw this scene, he felt disheartened and knew that he could not deceive this group of people.

Zhu Quan was also staring at the fine hair in Shang Lu's hand, muttering, "It looks like rat hair... Wait, an illusion, rat hair... I know, this is the illusion of the Earth Sheep Ghost!"

"Earth Sheep Ghost? Illusion Gu technique?"

Shang Lu felt that these two names sounded familiar. He must have seen relevant information in the Zeicao Office or the Witch Academy.

Before he could recall carefully, Zhu Quan said quickly:

"In the barbarian land in the south, there is a tribe called the Earth Sheep Ghosts! Because the people of this tribe use the mole as the totem of the tribe, and even offer sacrifices to the mole in order to pray for good weather and good harvests, and for the growth of all things..."

When Shang Lu heard this, the relevant memories were also awakened.

The so-called ground sheep is another name for zokor.

This kind of rat has no eyes and likes to dig up the soil in the ground, so it is given the nickname "ground sheep".

Also, because the mole can turn over the soil, many people believe that it can bring a good harvest.

Therefore, not only in the land of barbarians, but also in some rural shrines in the State of Ba, people worshipped the Mole Lord in order to pray for a good harvest.

The people of the Diyanggui tribe, like other barbarians in the barbarian land, are good at using witchcraft.

Their most skilled and powerful witchcraft is the magic witchcraft that uses mole hair prepared by secret methods as a lure.

The information in the Witch Academy said that the illusion technique of the Earth Sheep Ghost Tribe was so lifelike and realistic that it could kill people in the illusion.

Even if one's cultivation is higher than the other party's, as long as one fails to see through the illusion, one will be hit and injured.

When Shang Lu first saw this record, he was still wondering, no matter how realistic the illusion was, it was still fake, how could it cause someone to be injured or killed? Was there some other trick hidden in the illusion?
Now he knew that when the fake was made to look real, it could really cost lives even if there were no other means.

"Did you secretly put this mole hair when you approached us to talk and deceive us? You are smart. There are many people coming and going on the street, and there are many mules, horses and livestock. The hair is flying everywhere. Even if some of it gets on you, no one will care."

Shang Lu said this in a cold voice, but he did not look at the ghost face. Instead, he used the liver god's sharp eyesight and the "seeing through fire" magical power of the [Demon-Suppressing County Lieutenant] to look at his subordinates in the dormitory.

There seemed to be a divine light flashing in his eyes.

And this careful inspection indeed allowed him to find tiny strands of mole hair on the bodies of his subordinates.

He immediately released his vital energy and plucked the mole hairs accurately.

As soon as the mole hair was gone, the illusion covering everyone's hands and feet immediately began to fluctuate.

Shang Lu didn't need to do anything. Everyone immediately mobilized their blood and energy, and indeed shattered the illusion, allowing their hands and feet to return from rotten wood and broken stones to their original state.

At this moment, Shang Lu turned his gaze back to the ghost face.

"Come to think of it, the Shadow Turtle is also a strange beast from the Barbarian Land... So you came from the south? Or do you have connections with the Barbarian Land behind you?"

The broker did not answer Shang Lu's questioning.

He just made a grimace and continued to shout: "Don't think that you can rest assured just because you have seen through my magic. I tell you, this matter is not over! I will always hide in the dark and pester you. As long as you don't die, there will be no peace!"

Rather than a shout or a curse, the broker's words sounded more like a roar of incompetence that was timid but powerful on the inside.

Not only was Shang Lu not frightened by him, he also sneered and reminded:

"That's right, the matter is indeed not over yet. Please open the window and look up at the sky."
