Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 368: The good family tradition of never leaving empty-handed

"Are you crazy?"

Sanniang's voice came from under the red veil, full of speechlessness.

Shang Lu even felt that Sanniang must have given him another cold look.

"I am a ghost, why should I be afraid of other ghosts?"

Shang Lu was stunned, then raised his hand and slapped his forehead in embarrassment.

He really forgot about this.

The hair monster on the hairpin is a ghost, and Sanniang is also a ghost. It’s hard to say who is more ferocious and who is afraid of who.

But Shang Lu was still a little worried: "Can you suppress it?"

As soon as he said this, Shang Lu felt that he had asked this question unnecessarily.

Given Sanniang's personality, it would be impossible for her to pick up the hairpin and wear it on her head without being absolutely sure.

And looking at this hairpin, which has changed from its previous strange appearance of dripping blood to its current crystal clear white jade hairpin, we should know that the hair monster has not only been suppressed, but may even have been refined.

As soon as Shang Lu thought of this, he sensed a ghostly aura surging from Sanniang. When he was about to ask, he saw countless hairs suddenly emerging from the white jade hairpin on Sanniang's head.

These hairs were like a flood that broke through a dam, or like the dark night that was about to devour everything. They suddenly became numerous and long, like ferocious poisonous snakes and tentacles, attacking Shanglu at an extremely fast speed.

What the hell is going on?!

Shang Lu was shocked, thinking that Sanniang was tricked by the hair demon. Not only did he fail to suppress the hair demon, but he was also controlled by the hair demon.

He hurriedly activated the Stone Armor Curse, allowing his vital energy to cover his entire body, transforming it into a layer of hard stone armor to resist the attack of the strange hair - he had seen how powerful these hairs were, sharper than swords and knives. If the hair demon really controlled Sanniang and used Sanniang's ghost energy, then the sharpness of these hairs would only be even greater.

While chanting the Stone Armor Curse, Shang Lu kicked off his feet and was about to rush towards Sanniang to pull out the hairpin that caused the demon to grow.

But although his reaction was quick, the hair came even faster!
Many of them even had tricky angles, making it difficult for him to defend himself.

In the blink of an eye, Shang Lu was entangled by the hair coming from all directions - this time, the hair was no longer sharp, but became very tough, and it tied Shang Lu up like a silk rabbit and lifted him upside down.

Shang Lu was not panicked. With the stone armor protecting his body, these hairs could not hurt him for the time being.

He immediately mobilized his vital energy and tried to ring the Yin-Yang Bell, allowing his vital energy to transform into Yang fire and burn off the strange hair that was entangled with him.

However, as soon as the vital energy was activated, before it could turn into fire, the hair that was tied up Shang Lu quickly retracted into the hairpin on Sanniang's head like the tide receding.

It really comes quickly and goes quickly.

Shang Lu was so confused that he actually forgot that he was still hanging in the air and fell to the ground with a "bang".

Fortunately, this room is on the ground floor. If it was on the second or third floor of the inn, Shang Lu would probably have to pay for the cost of repairing the floor.

Although his first reaction was slow, Shang Lu's second reaction was fast and he bounced up immediately after landing.

At this moment, he also knew what was going on.

Sanniang was not possessed and controlled by the hair demon hairpin. On the contrary, she completely suppressed the hair demon hairpin and was even able to control the hair demon.

Just now she was using practical actions to tell Shang Lu that she could suppress the demon.

Shang Lu, relieved, began to feel dissatisfied with his performance just now, and was eager to save face:
"That doesn't count. I didn't react in time. Let's start over again. I'm sure you won't succeed in your sneak attack this time."

Sanniang ignored him.

Shang Lu felt like he was being eyed again.

At the same time, Shang Lu also discovered that after the hairpin was returned, the hair was not completely retracted, but a small bunch was left outside.

It's like a small head, shaking and observing the Chinese rhubarb.

"Well, the weird hair monster turned into a pet in Sanniang's hands... It really is a wise man who knows the times." Shang Lu sighed in his heart.

It is good news for Shang Lu that the demon can be controlled by Sanniang.

He had just experienced it. In Sanniang's hands, the power of the Fa Yao was far greater than before.

If, when fighting with the enemy, Sanniang drives the demon to sneak attack the enemy, or tie up the enemy's hands and feet... then the enemy will be bullied by her, right?
At the same time, Shang Lu was also a little curious: "Sanniang, how did you subdue this hair demon? And make it listen to you?"

Shang Lu was certain that even if Sanniang had the ability to subdue the demon before, she did not know how to drive it.

Otherwise, she would have taken action right after the demon was imprisoned in the spirit cage. Why wait until now?

After listening to Shang Lu's question, Sanniang raised her hand for a while, and the tube-shaped banner immediately appeared in the room. Driven by the gusts of cold wind, it slowly turned in the air.

Shang Lu was just about to ask what the subduing of the hair demon had to do with the tube-shaped banner, and he didn't see Sanniang send the hair demon into the banner, but then he saw two ghost shadows floating down from the tube-shaped banner.

The two ghost figures had pale faces, one had a wound on his neck, and the other had a hole in the chest.

Blood continued to flow out of the wounds of the two ghosts - this was the same appearance they had before death.

"Is this Liu San's subordinate?"

Shang Lu recognized the two dead guys.

They were already in Liu San's house before, but when Shang Lu arrived, they had already been killed by paper men.

Unexpectedly, Sanniang actually collected their souls into the tube banner.

When did it happen? How come I didn't notice it?

I have to say, Sanniang and Shanglu are indeed a couple... They both believe that a thief never leaves empty-handed, so they can never return empty-handed.

"Correct."

Sanniang finally spoke up and told Shang Lu: "They have been following Liu San and know how to subdue and use the demon hairpin."

"Do you know how to use other treasures? For example, how to subdue this shadow toad?"

Shang Lu raised his hand and pointed at the spirit cage, then asked the two ghosts.

The shadow toy trapped in the spirit cage is still full of energy after such a long time. It keeps attacking, trying to break the spirit cage and escape.

The two ghosts said nothing, but just looked at Sanniang.

Sanniang said, "You should answer whatever he asks you."

After hearing these words, the two ghosts answered Shang Lu's question:
"There is a handkerchief that can hold the shadow snake. Then use a needle dipped in cinnabar to prick the forehead and limbs of the embroidered shadow snake, and it will not be able to move. If you want to subdue the shadow snake, you must feed it with chicken blood mixed with fine sand on the handkerchief at the morning bell and evening drum every day. After feeding it for seven days, the shadow snake will recognize its master again and can listen to your orders, come out of the scroll, hide in the shadows, and hurt people with innuendos..."

"Handkerchief?"

Shang Lu took a look at the things he had collected, and there was indeed a handkerchief among them, on which was embroidered a sparkling stream using Shu embroidery technique.

Shang Lu remembered that the reason he brought the handkerchief back was because he used his "Seeing Through Fire" to see that there seemed to be a slight spiritual power rippling on the handkerchief, and judged that it was not an ordinary thing. He thought of bringing it back first regardless of its use.

Fortunately, he adhered to the fine family tradition of "a thief never leaves empty-handed", otherwise he would have to ask Lu Yun, Xiang Yang, Tang Ling and others for the handkerchief. But at that time, these people might not be willing to give it to him.

Shang Lu had plenty of needles. He brought quite a few to use as hidden weapons, and now he had quite a few hidden in his sleeves.

Not to mention cinnabar, which is used whether it is for drawing talismans or setting up altars, and smilax glaze is also carried with people.

He immediately took out a few needles, dipped them in cinnabar, and asked the two ghosts, "What should we do to put the shadow into the handkerchief?"

The two ghosts said:
"You haven't tamed the Shadow Turtle yet, so you can't directly order it to go back. You can only use your handkerchief to slap it and push it back in."

"Be careful, it won't be put into your handkerchief obediently, it will definitely spray you with sand."

"Will the handkerchief be damaged by the sand it sprays?" Shang Lu asked.

He was not afraid of the sand sprayed by the shadow dragon, he was only worried that his handkerchief would be damaged by the sand. After all, the sand sprayed by the shadow dragon, even if it did not hit the shadow, had strong destructive power.

"No." The two ghosts said in unison.

With their words, Shang Lu felt relieved. He immediately picked up the handkerchief, spread it out in his palm, and slapped it at the shadow toy in the spirit cage with lightning speed.

As expected, the shadow cobra refused to enter the handkerchief and immediately spit out flying sand. Unfortunately, the flying sand could not leave the spirit cage, but only made the witch talisman on the cage flicker continuously.

This shadow toy was quite tenacious. It kept on making trouble and almost exhausted the magic power of the magic talisman on the spirit cage.

Once the power of the talisman is exhausted, it is really possible that it will be able to escape.

Seeing that the flying sand could not get out of the spirit cage, Ying Shen immediately changed its target of attack and spit sand towards Shang Lu's hand.

However, these grains of sand not only did not hurt Shanglu, but were directly absorbed by the handkerchief spread in Shanglu's palm.

The next moment, Shang Lu's hand with a handkerchief slapped Ying Shen's body.

The size of the shadow toad is like that of an adult turtle, much larger than a handkerchief.

But when the handkerchief hit it, its body really turned into a shadow and was sucked into the handkerchief, becoming an embroidered pattern on the handkerchief - an old turtle by the river.

The shadow toy that entered the handkerchief was not obedient and was struggling to get out of it.

How could Shang Lu let it succeed? He immediately activated his spirit and used the technique of telekinesis to roll up several needles stained with cinnabar, and shot them onto the handkerchief, pinning the head and limbs of the shadow snake.

As expected, the shadow toy stopped moving.

The red cinnabar flowed onto the handkerchief, like embroidered chains, trapping the shadow toad.

Shang Lu observed for a while and saw that the shadow snake was no longer struggling, so he felt relieved.

Just wait for the morning bell and evening drum to ring every day, then mix chicken blood with fine sand and feed it.

However, Shanglu didn't have chicken blood and fine sand on hand.

There should be chickens in the inn. You can buy one and eat its meat by sucking its blood.

As for fine sand...I don't know if it's sold in the market?
If that doesn't work, with his current level of cultivation, he should be able to make it with his bare hands? It's just that there may be a slight difference in the fineness.

Shang Lu made sure that the shadow cocoon was no longer moving before he put away the handkerchief and called the two ghosts to continue introducing him to several other residual spirits and magical weapons.

These two ghost shadows know a lot.

According to their account, they often used these residual spirits and magic tools in cooperation with Liu San to deceive people, steal and escape.

Shang Lu first picked up the bone slingshot, plucked the string that looked like it was made of some kind of animal tendon, and asked, "What is the origin of this slingshot? What effect does it have?"

"This is the Yazi bow. The bullet shot with this slingshot can achieve 100% speed and force with only 30% of the effort. Moreover, the bullet does not need to be aimed, it will lock onto and seek out the enemy. Even if the enemy dodges, the bullet will turn back and continue to chase the enemy until it hits the enemy or is destroyed by the enemy."

"Is this a self-aiming lock?" Shang Lu exclaimed in amazement.

What he lacks now is a long-range weapon, otherwise he would not have thought of using the Thunder-Struck Yin-Yang Willow to make a bow.

Now with this Jiaozi slingshot, I can make up for one of my shortcomings.

As for the Lightning-Struck Yin-Yang Willow Bow that Senior Sister Gongshu has already started making, after the finished product comes out and the effect is tested, she will decide whether to carry both with her or take the less powerful one to the Yunshang Market to sell in exchange for contributions... She will not lose out either way.

There are just not many bullets in the Jiaozi slingshot.

Shang Lu glanced at the bullets that looked like finger bones. There were only about seven or eight of them. If he really wanted to fight the enemy, how could this amount of ammunition be enough?

So he asked, "What kind of bones are these marbles made of? If they are made of other materials, will it affect the effect and power?"

"I don't know what kind of bone it is. We stole this slingshot from a southern barbarian warrior. We only stole a dozen marbles at the time. We used a few of them, and only these are left."

The two ghosts replied, "We have tried using ordinary stone balls and iron balls. Their speed and force are reduced, but their ability to search for enemies is still there. These bone balls are more likely to have a curse."

"What curse?"

"do not know."

"I don't know what it means?" Shang Lu frowned.

"The curse effect of each bone bullet is different. Some can cause a person's skin and flesh to fester, some can make a person move slowly, and some are extremely poisonous. If they come into contact with blood, they will kill the person..."

The two ghost shadows told Shang Lu the effects they had seen before, which made Shang Lu very angry.

The curses on these bone marbles are all extraordinary, but it's a pity that a lot of them were wasted by these scammers and thieves.

After thinking about it, Shang Lu put the Yazi slingshot on his waist, took out the Wuyuan Jade Card, took a picture of the bone marbles, and sent a message to Gongshu Ling, asking if he knew the origin of these bones and the method of making the marbles.

Gongshu Ling did not reply.

At this time, she was probably resting.

Shang Lu was not in a hurry. He just used something else as marbles. If there was no curse effect, it would still be acceptable.

Then, his eyes swept over another object and he reached out to pick it up.

This is a mask.

As soon as he got it, Shang Lu concluded that it was made of human skin.

Shanglu had a similar human skin mask before, which could change the shape of the body, but it had great limitations. He gave it to Gongshu Ling to help with the transformation, and has not got it back yet.

However, this human skin mask is different from the one Shang Lu had obtained before.

It has no facial features, not even any holes, just a complete piece of skin, just like a faceless ghost, weird and abnormal.

Shang Lu picked up the human face, and countless sharp flesh thorns immediately grew out from the edges, trying to stab into Shang Lu's hand, but they were blocked by the stone armor on Shang Lu's hand and could not penetrate.

"Is it this face that interferes with our cognition and makes us unable to remember what Liu San looks like?"
