Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 370 Yes-Men and Spies
"We've been defeated! We, the wizards and army of the Ba Kingdom, suffered a great defeat in Xingshan. We were completely wiped out and died miserably!"

"A great defeat at Xingshan! The Chu army is like a force to be reckoned with, and they are about to attack us!"

"The country is about to perish! The country is about to perish!"

"Run! If you don't run, you will be captured by the wizard and made into a ghost soldier. This is worse than death!"

"If the southern barbarians raise an army again at this time, the country of Ba will surely be divided up!"

"The country of Ba has a lot of wealth and resources. If the barbarians in the south take this opportunity to start a war and burn, kill and plunder, the government will definitely not have time to take care of them. We'd better run for our lives!"

What came out of the black clay jar was actually a group of voices, and the content of the shouting was rumors related to the Xingshan front.

This immediately reminded Shang Lu of the rebellion of prophecies and divinations that he encountered when he first arrived in Guling County.

So the three people who were robbed by Liu San and his gang tonight were actually spies from the State of Chu?

They took this strange clay jar and ran to Heifengdu. I'm afraid they didn't just want to spread the prophecy and rumors, but also wanted to attract the attention of barbarian merchants from the south and ask them to bring back the news of the "great defeat" of the State of Ba.

The next step for the State of Chu would probably be to contact the barbarian tribes in the south, offer them benefits, and invite them to send troops, so that the State of Ba would be unable to take care of both ends, right?
The State of Chu had always regarded itself as a barbarian country. If it invited the barbarians to join the army, it might be able to get the title of leader of the barbarians.

"So, Liu San and his gang actually managed to achieve merit by accident?"

While Shang Lu was thinking quickly, he turned his head and glanced at "Bu Ke Ting".

After confirming that the magical weapon was still effective and blocked the sound from spreading outside the room, he breathed a sigh of relief.

If the shouting in the black clay jar were heard by the people in the inn, even if it didn't cause a major riot, it would at least cause a lot of unpredictable trouble.

Since the "inaudible" function was still in effect and blocked the transmission of sound, Shang Lu felt relieved.

He then stuck his head out and looked inside the black mud jar. What on earth was hidden inside? How could it make human voices and spread rumors?

Upon taking a look, Shang Lu discovered that the jar was full of blood.

In the blood, there were white, fat worms as thick as fingers wriggling.

At first glance, these flesh worms look like large maggots, but if you look closely, you will be horrified to find that these flesh worms actually look a lot like humans.

Although only as thick as a finger, these flesh worms have heads and bodies.

Their heads have all the facial features, just like miniature human faces, and their bodies are also very similar to humans, except that their limbs have shrunk severely, with only a small part left, making them look like maggots.

"Are these yes-men? No wonder they can speak human language!"

Shang Lu knew about these strange flesh worms because he had heard Zhu Quan mention them.

It was one night when they had just left Luoshui County and had not yet entered Guling County. A thief was talking in his sleep in the middle of the night. Because what he said was quite funny, someone imitated his talking in his sleep the next day and made fun of him for it.

As a result, he was severely scolded by Zhu Quan, who called him a yes-man for making fun of his colleague.

Du Feng curiously asked Zhu Quan what an echo was, and Zhu Quan told him a story. He said that a few years ago, there was a butcher in Chengfeng County. No matter what he said, an echo would come out of his stomach.

The butcher was frightened and thought there was a demon hiding in his stomach, so he ran to the witch temple to ask for help.

Chengfeng County is the seat of the county government. The shamans in the shaman temple are extraordinary in both skills and knowledge. They could tell at a glance that the butcher was not killed by evil spirits, but was infected by a yes-man.

The so-called yes-man is a strange parasite that not only steals people's essence, energy and blood, but also learns to speak like a human.

Once the yes-man has learned the timbre and intonation perfectly, it will drill into the brain from the stomach and completely control the person, achieving another form of possession.

After hearing the witch's introduction, the butcher was so frightened that his face turned pale and he trembled all over. He kowtowed and begged for help.

Finally, the witch made a pot of secret medicine and asked the butcher to drink it. After a while, the butcher vomited out a lot of flesh worms that were as thick as fingers, white and fat, and looked like maggots but had human faces and bodies.

Exactly the same as the yes-men in the black clay jar.

Zhu Quan was in the temple for another case, asking the Wu Yuan for advice. So he watched the whole thing and had a deep memory of the appearance and characteristics of the sound bug.

It was only after listening to his vivid description that Shang Lu was able to recognize the echo insect in the black clay jar at a glance.

"Can a yes-man be used like this?"

While Shang Lu was marveling at the thought, he suddenly thought of something - hasn't he been worrying about how to report the Huangting Sect and at the same time get himself out of the way so as not to be targeted for revenge?

Since these yes-men can be used by spies to spread prophecies and rumors, can they also be used as mouthpieces for Shang Lu?

Even if someone wanted to trace him back through these yes-men, it would be impossible.

Because these yes-men were not raised by him at all.

He couldn't raise these weird things.

But what can be done to change these yes-men’s minds?

Shang Lu tried many times, whether it was seduction or intimidation, but he couldn't get these yes-men to learn to speak like him.

These flesh worms just kept yelling at the top of their lungs: "We lost, we lost", "Run away, run away".

"It seems that the person who tied the bell must be the one who can untie it..."

Shang Lu thought about it for a moment and came up with an idea.

He turned around and asked the two ghosts floating nearby watching the fun, "Where does the person with this can of yes-men live?"

This time, the two ghosts did not answer his question immediately, but asked blankly:

"What did you say?"

"It's too noisy. I can't hear you clearly."

It was indeed very noisy. The chirping insect in the black clay pot did not stop chirping without any sign of being tired. It was even louder and more annoying than the cicadas in summer.

Shang Lu waved his hand, and the essence and energy surged out, lifting the lid and covering the black clay jar again.

Miraculously, as soon as the lid was closed, the echoing insect in the black clay jar immediately closed its mouth and stopped screaming and roaring.

Shang Lu repeated the question he had just raised.

The two ghosts heard it clearly this time and answered immediately:

"They live in an inn on Hexia Street."

"It's not far from here. Turn right when you leave the inn, then turn left at the first street corner. It's about ten or twenty steps away."

Today, Shang Lu not only visited several markets in Heifengdu, but also took a look at the surrounding neighborhoods and road conditions.

After listening to the descriptions of the two ghosts, a rough map of the location immediately appeared in his mind, and then he frowned.

Because the inn where the three spies stayed was indeed not far from here.

I don’t know if the battle that broke out in this inn before disturbed them?

If the three spies noticed a fight nearby, they would most likely remain on high alert and check the situation of the Yes-Man.

Once they discover that the black clay jar containing the echo insect has disappeared, they will most likely escape overnight.

Shang Lu didn't want them to run away, nor did he want them to be caught by Xiang Yang, Tang Ling and others who were on night patrol.

The spy has run away, how can he force him to tell the usage of the Yes-Man?

If the spy was caught by the people of Guling County, he would definitely reveal their purpose and the matter of the yes-man...

At that time, even if he found a way to use the Yes-Mite, he would not dare to use it, and he had to hand over the Yes-Mite to prove his innocence.

"No matter, let's go and take a look first."

Shanglu did not put the black clay jar into his saddlebag, but asked Sanniang to swallow it.

The echoer is so noisy and makes a loud noise. If you put it in a saddlebag and accidentally knock the lid open, wouldn’t that be terrible?

If there were anyone from the Guling County government or the Witch Academy nearby, wouldn't they think he was a spy?
At that time, even if he wanted to explain, people might not be willing to listen.

So it is safer to put it in Sanniang's belly.

When Sanniang swallowed the black clay jar, Shanglu put away his "unbearable" attitude.

At the same time, he also put some fancy talismans of unknown use into his bag.

These talismans were also spoils seized from Liu San’s house.

Shang Lu was in no mood to ask about their use at the moment, so he would wait until he caught the spy. Pushing the door open and leaving the house, Shang Lu did not call Zhu Quan, Du Feng and others.

Because he not only had to capture the spies, but also had to plan an action against the Huangting Sect.

The fewer people who know about this, the better.

Although many people in the inn had trouble sleeping and were on high alert at the moment, Shang Lu had Sanniang as his eyes, so he easily avoided their detection and slipped out of the inn.

Two ghostly shadows stepped on the gloomy wind, floating in front and leading the way.

Shanglu followed closely behind with great strides.

Soon they arrived at an inn on Xiahe Street.

The two ghosts turned around and said to Shang Lu, "Those three people are staying in this inn." Then they floated in through the wall.

The door of the inn was closed, but this did not bother Shang Lu. He wiped his face with his hands and put on the Nuo mask of a god with a pig body, eight legs and a snake tail.

Not only did he use the Nuo mask to conceal his appearance, he also used the earth escape technique to get directly into the inn.

There were several guard dogs in the inn, but when they saw the Chinese herb coming out of the ground, they not only did not bark, but also turned around and put their heads on the ground, acting as if "I didn't see anything" and "As long as I didn't see it, nothing happened."

Shang Lu knew that these dogs did not bark, not because they were afraid of him - in order not to alarm the people in the inn, he completely restrained his breath.

These dogs were intimidated by Sanniang.

As soon as he entered the inn, Shang Lu felt that something was wrong.

Because with his extraordinary hearing, he could hear that many people in the inn had already woken up and were guarding their money and goods nervously and vigilantly.

Shang Lu cursed his mother inwardly.

The place called Heifengdu is really different from other places.

Everyone who comes here has some level of cultivation and is very sensitive to changes in the surrounding energy.

Previously, when Shang Lu and his companions were dealing with the hair monster and the shadow monster, the noise caused disturbed the people in the inn where they were staying, causing them to be on alert.

Because these people used witchcraft and spells to keep on alert, they triggered new fluctuations in the force field, which in turn produced a chain reaction that affected several surrounding streets and caused panic.

"It seems that the three spies have most likely escaped." Shang Lu guessed in his heart.

But he still followed the two ghost shadows and found the room where the three spies had stayed before. There was no one in the room. As expected, they all ran away.

Shang Lu touched the quilt and found it was already cold. The three spies had run away for some time.

Just when Shang Lu was racking his brains over how to pursue her, he saw Sanniang taking out the set of yarrow stems that she had just bought at the market today, and started to tell fortunes by picking the grass.

Sanniang acted quickly and got the result before Shang Lu could ask any questions.

He put away the yarrow, raised his hand and pointed to the west: "Go west, and you will find water."

Shang Lu didn't hesitate. He turned around and ran out of the room. He burrowed into the ground, used the earth escape technique, and immediately escaped from the inn.

Inside the inn, some people still sensed the fluctuations of magic outside.

But at this moment, they had no interest in watching the fun.

As long as trouble doesn't come to you, just ignore it and stay vigilant.

Shang Lu did not continue hiding underground, he emerged as soon as he left the inn.

Earth escape would cause fluctuations in magic, which could easily attract the attention of the patrolling witches. Shang Lu didn't want to create any trouble at this time.

After using the Dragon-Tiger Power and Tiger Step Kung Fu, Shang Lu's running speed was no slower than the earth escape technique.

He also had Sanniang to help him open the map and point the way, so even if there were witch officers patrolling nearby, they would not be able to find him.

Galloping westward, Shanglu soon arrived at the bank of the Qiang River.

Sure enough, three figures were seen, sneaking along the river bank under the cover of darkness, looking for a boat, hoping to steal it and leave.

Heifengdu is surrounded by walls on three sides and faces water only on one side.

There are not only defenders on the city wall, but also a witch formation. With the strength of these three spies, they can't force their way through or sneak out.

They could only take action from the Qiang River.

Shang Lu had previously guessed that the three spies' cultivation levels should not be very strong.

On the one hand, they were completely unaware of Fa Yao's theft.

On the other hand, spreading rumors is a waste of talent if experts are sent to carry out the task.

Moreover, they are operating inside the enemy country. Once exposed, the losses will be huge.

Seeing the three people from afar at this moment, Shang Lu was sure that his guess was correct.

Although it is impossible to tell the specific cultivation levels of these three people, it is estimated that they are at the Qi Refining Stage at most.

Shang Lu originally wanted to burrow underground and launch a sneak attack.

But when half of his body was buried in the ground, he changed his mind.

I plan to use these three spies to try out the newly acquired Jiaozi slingshot and Qingfei money.

"Are there any Guling County witch officials or officials nearby?"

Before taking action, Shang Lu asked Sanniang a question cautiously.

He didn't want to attract people as soon as he started.

"No." Sanniang's answer was brief and to the point.

Just don’t have it!

Shang Lu saw that the three spies had found a boat and were going to take advantage of the boatman's deep sleep to sneak up and kill people and steal the boat, so he no longer hesitated.

He took out the Yazi slingshot and took out a few green fly coins to use as marbles.

There is no need to aim carefully, just judge the approximate direction, mobilize your energy, and pull the bowstring.

During this process, Shang Lu discovered that after the bowstring was pulled to its maximum extent, continuing to stimulate the essence and energy would not make the bowstring be pulled longer, but the power of the essence and energy would attach to the bowstring and accumulate strength.

As Shang Lu loosened his hand, all his strength exploded in an instant, and more than a dozen green aphid coins flew out like lightning and meteors.

The speed is so fast that people can't even see it.

The three spies who stole the boat on the Qiang River were already highly focused.

As soon as Shang Lu shot out the green aphid money, they noticed it.

However, the Qingxiezi money came too quickly, making it difficult for them to make any other moves. They could only hurriedly activate witchcraft and put up a series of witchcraft shields.

At the same time, he wanted to withdraw and dodge to avoid the flying green aphid money.

At this moment, their eyes suddenly widened.

Just because they saw that the green aphid money flying in the air was actually split into two, and then into four...

A dozen green fly coins suddenly turned into a large group, and attacked like locusts, leaving them with nowhere to hide or stop.

"Bang bang bang-"

The power unleashed by the Yazi slingshot and the Qingxie coins was greater than Shang Lu had imagined.

The witchcraft shield held up by the three spies was first weakened by the curse released by Qingxie Qian, and then violently shattered.

Then, with the "accurate" effect of the Yazi slingshot, the green aphid money shot into the limbs and qi sea of ​​the three people.

The three spies fell to the ground together.

They wanted to shout, but no sound came out.

A powerful energy covered their mouths in time.
