Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 376 Testing the Rules and Using the Rules

This ugly corpse was only concerned with gnawing at the person it had knocked down, and did not even try to dodge the knife that Shang Lu was slashing at.

And its decayed body was not as hard as Shanglu had imagined.

With just one strike, Shanglu cut off its neck.

Although he was stunned, Shang Lu did not slow down at all. He immediately mobilized the violent sword energy, swarmed into the corpse's head, and crushed it in an instant.

According to Shang Lu's previous experience, to deal with most strange creatures such as corpses and skeletons, one only needs to cut off their heads and destroy them to eliminate them.

The reason for this is that the head is the meeting point of all yang, the residence of intelligence, and the location of the marrow sea.

Not only is it a vital organ when a person is alive, but even after death when a person turns into a rotten corpse or a skeleton, it is still a vital organ and the place where the evil spirit gathers.

However, this time, although Shang Lu destroyed the corpse's head, he did not stop it.

The headless corpse is still moving.

It was still using its rotten right hand to dig open the man's stomach on the ground and take out his intestines and internal organs.

At the same time, countless maggots emerged from the broken neck of the corpse, entangled with each other madly, and squirmed and grew like granulation tissue.

These maggots had already become part of the rotten corpse. In an instant, they formed a petal-shaped strange mouth full of sharp teeth. They swallowed the dug out intestines and internal organs in one gulp, filling their mouths with blood.

Not only that, the corpse waved its left hand at the moment Shanglu destroyed its head.

And this arm broke directly, like an arrow shot from a bow, carrying a billowing black gas, and shot towards Shanglu.

Although Shang Lu used the witch's spell to cover himself with a layer of stone armor when he drew his sword, he still did not dare to be careless when facing this strange severed hand.

He raised his left hand, and the vital energy surged, pushing out the tortoise shell shield hidden in his sleeve.

This shield can be large or small. When not in use, it is only the size of a palm, which is very convenient to store in the sleeve. Once it is activated, it can immediately return to the size of a shield.

"boom--"

The corpse's severed hand grabbed the tortoise-shell shield heavily, causing a shrill, creepy sound.

The paper figures nearby were frightened and hurriedly distanced themselves from Shang Lu, fearing that they would be affected.

If that rotten severed hand were to grab them, they would hardly be able to resist!
Because of this situation, many people began to covet the Shanglu Tortoise Shield. They all wanted to wait until he was eaten by the corpse, then rush up and snatch the Tortoise Shield.

Although the corpse's severed hand was blocked by the tortoise shell shield, it seemed to have life and consciousness. It immediately tried to bypass the tortoise shell shield and continue to attack Shanglu.

As long as the Shanglu can be hurt, even if only a small wound is caused, the corpse poison will immediately penetrate into the blood vessels and spread throughout the body through blood circulation, causing the Shanglu to die suddenly from the poison!
Shanglu waved his shield, not giving the corpse any chance to break his hands.

At the same time, he swung his knife at the corpse's severed hand and shouted urgently, "Where is the market supervisor? Someone attacked and killed customers for no reason, and you don't care?"

As soon as Shang Lu finished speaking, he saw iron chains flying out from the market, entangling the ugly corpses and their severed hands, rendering them all unable to move.

At the same time, a man in black police uniform, holding shackles and chains, with a gloomy face, strode towards them from the strange market in front.

The rotting corpses and evil spirits along the way, seeing this man, were like mice seeing a cat, and they hurriedly dodged and tried to avoid him, fearing that they would accidentally block the road and cause trouble.

When Shang Lu saw this scene, he immediately knew that he had made the right bet.

In this strange market, there are indeed market monitors and market regulations!

The market supervisor strode up to the corpse and pronounced the sentence: "Article 5 of the Fairy Fairy Market Regulations prohibits fighting and injuring others without reason! Anyone who violates this rule shall be tortured in purgatory forever, and there will be no escape!"

"boom--"

The iron chain that was wrapped around the corpse immediately erupted with raging flames, burning all the rotten flesh, pus and blood on the corpse into ashes.

Not only that, the flames also wrapped up the soul of the rotten corpse, flew to the strange market, and landed in one of the braziers.

The flame inside, which was originally as weak as a candlelight, suddenly became brighter.

"what--"

The miserable screams of the rotting corpses continued to be heard from the flames.

It will suffer the pain of burning in this fire bowl until this place is destroyed.

After cleaning up the offending corpses, the market supervisor turned around and shouted coldly at the evil spirits and corpses in the market: "Are there any more people who want to violate the market rules?"

All the evil spirits and corpses shook their heads, vying to say that they were the most rule-abiding and would never do such a thing and cause trouble for the city supervision.

The mayor nodded with satisfaction, without turning around, he turned his head 90 degrees and looked at Shang Lu and others.

"When you come to the Fairy Market, you must abide by the rules and regulations here! As long as you follow the rules, no one will dare to touch you. Similarly, once you violate the market rules, you will be punished!"

There are people like Shang Lu who come to this place for the first time. After the initial panic, they realize that this may be a mysterious existence in the secret realm of the ghost market.

The mysterious places in the secret realm, in addition to dangers, often also contain great opportunities.

They immediately determined that this great opportunity must be related to Mayor Jian, and they all pricked up their ears and listened carefully to Mayor Jian's speech.

After the city supervisor mentioned the city regulations, someone even asked what the city regulations were.

The city supervisor did not answer their questions, but said impatiently: "The city regulations are posted in Xianling Market, go and see for yourself."

He looked down at the corpse on the ground again, said pitiful, waved his hand and cast a spell, turning the man's body into a palm-sized piece of paper, and motioned Shang Lu to pick it up.

He said in an unquestionable tone: "Keep his body safe for now. After you leave the Fairy Market, find a good place to bury him where he won't turn into a corpse."

Shang Lu wanted to say that he was not familiar with this person, but he swallowed the words back, took the paper corpse, and said "OK".

Jian Shi waved his hand again, and several pills flew out from the brazier where the souls of the rotten corpses were burning, and fell directly into Shang Lu's hands.

Seeing this scene, many of the paper figures nearby were surprised.

Including those people who had been here before and were obviously more experienced than others, they did not seem to have expected that something like this would happen.

Shang Lu looked at the pills in his hand. Each one was bright red and had blood-like substance flowing on them.

Rather than pills, they are more like bloody meatballs.

He could even feel that these pills were beating like a heart, which was extremely strange.

Shang Lu asked carefully: "Excuse me, Mayor, what are these pills..."

The market supervisor said: "You are good. You know how to maintain the market rules. Unlike those people, they just hide in the distance and watch the fun. These are the pills left by the wounded. Please accept them.

Half of it is a reward for you maintaining the city regulations. The other half was supposed to be compensation for the victim. But the victim is already dead, and even his soul has been eaten to pieces. It is useless to take the compensation, so I will give it to you as a whole."

Shang Lu clearly noticed that the eyes of the paper people around him were suddenly filled with envy and jealousy.

If they weren't afraid of the local market rules, or if the market supervisor wasn't right next to them, I'm afraid some people would have already started looting!

Although the things in this place are weird and strange, they are also of extraordinary value!
Even the ghost market guards were quietly reminding each other: "Remember, there will be rewards for maintaining the city rules! When you go back, be sure to add this to the notes and make it a priority!"

"Thank you, Mayor. May I ask..."

Shang Lu wanted to ask what the uses of these strange pills were, but the market inspector didn't wait for him to finish his words. He turned back to the market and started patrolling along the designated route.

At the same time, in that strange market, shouts of "The market is open" and "The market is open" were heard.

The sounds of "market open" do not sound like human voices, but rather like the cries of night owls.

At this time, a paper figure floated in front of Shang Lu, looked at the pills in his hand that looked like flesh and blood, suppressed the urge to snatch them, and asked, "Friend, are you selling these pills?"

Shang Lu looked up and saw that the people who asked him questions were the ghost market guards.

Although each of them looked like paper figures, they were different from the others in that they all had a red dot painted on their foreheads with cinnabar ink to distinguish them.

"Not for sale for now." Shang Lu shook his head and refused.

He didn't want to sell the pills without knowing the truth about them.

These ghost market guards were obviously very clear about the rules of this place. Although they were unhappy, they did not dare to rob by force. They could only say:
"If you want to sell, you can come to us at any time. We guarantee that the price will satisfy you."

There was even a ghost market guard who took out a paper ingot from his bosom and handed it to Shang Lu.

"Please accept this ingot of silver as our deposit. Even if you don't plan to sell these pills in the end, you don't have to return it to us. Just consider it as making friends."

Seeing that Shang Lu refused to accept it, the ghost market guard forced the paper ingot into his hand, and then followed his companions to the strange market run by evil ghosts and corpses to buy the treasures they wanted.

When the group of people walked away, another person came up to Shang Lu, shook his head and sighed:

"You are really brave. This market was a fairy market before the Cataclysm. When the Cataclysm came, all the people here died suddenly and turned into rotten corpses and evil spirits.

Although thousands of years have passed and their strength has been seriously lost, they are no longer as brave as they used to be, but they have all kinds of strange methods and are very dangerous. You dare to draw your sword against the corpse, are you really not afraid of death, or have you been here and know something about it?"

From the tone of the man's voice, Shang Lu recognized him as the broker he had met in the ghost market before.

Unexpectedly, he was also teleported here by the black fog.

And from what he said, he seems to be quite familiar with the situation here, so it's probably not his first time here.

"I was impulsive at the moment. Now when I think about it, I'm scared..." Shang Lu made up an excuse and didn't tell the truth.

In fact, although this was his first time coming to this place, he had been to the secret realm of Yunhua Mountain and the treasure land in the Witch Academy.

So he knew that there were many rules in the secret realm.

As long as you follow the rules, there will generally be no danger. Of course, except for the situation just now. If you can further exploit the rules, you will have the opportunity to gain benefits.

This is the case in the secret realm of Yunhua Mountain.

The same is true in this strange fairy market.

Even in Shang Lu's opinion, the blood and flesh pills in his hand are not as important as the goodwill of the city supervisor.

Shang Lu also knew that if he took action it would be really dangerous, Sanniang would definitely stop him.

If it is not stopped, it means that this matter is worth a gamble!
Of course, Shang Lu really wanted to save the person who was being eaten by the corpse, but unfortunately he failed.

The ghost market broker looked at Shang Lu deeply, as if he wanted to confirm whether he was lying or not, but in the end he couldn't tell anything and could only sigh in amazement:
"Then you are really lucky. I have been here twice, and each time someone was eaten, but no one rushed to help. They just hid aside and waited for the city supervisor to come and deal with it. I didn't expect that I would be rewarded for my impulsiveness."

He sighed and regretted that he had never tried this.

After a pause, he also asked: "Are you really not going to sell this pill?"

Shang Lu told the truth: "I want to ask the city supervisor about the purpose of this pill before making a decision."

The ghost market broker sneered: "Ask the market inspector? He won't answer your questions. Look at that group of people." He raised his hand and pointed.

Shang Lu looked in the direction the ghost market broker pointed and saw several people who had also come to this place for the first time. They were surrounding the city supervisor and trying to curry favor with him in order to get help and benefits from him.

However, the city supervisor simply ignored their flattery and inquiries.

"Go ahead and try. If it doesn't work, come find me. As for this ingot of silver..."

The ghost market broker lowered his voice and said, "I advise you to throw it away as soon as possible. If you take it out, you will be found by those people just now. By then, you will lose both your money and your life."

Shang Lu raised his eyebrows slightly, not sure whether this ingot of silver was really strange, or whether the ghost market broker was trying to scare him so that he would become suspicious of the ghost market guards and eliminate his competitors.

But he still pretended to be touched and nodded in agreement.

At the same time, he used his eloquence to express his gratitude to the ghost market broker, and took the opportunity to ask about the situation of this strange market.

The ghost market broker walked towards the market and introduced Shang Lu:

"In this fairy market, you can trade with those rotten corpses and demons. They will sell many strange things. For example, expired elixirs, strange magic tools, chaotic skills, etc.

Although the things they sell seem weird and strange, their effects and power are excellent.

So even though these things have all kinds of toxic side effects, they are still rare treasures out there and are worth a try.

The only thing you have to be careful of is that some evil spirits and rotten corpses in the market will try every means to lure you to hidden corners that are invisible to the police.

Remember, no matter what benefits they promise or how exaggerated they sound, don't go. Once you go, you will be eaten by them!

In the eyes of these rotten corpses and evil spirits, we are fresh blood food and the ultimate delicacy!

In the Fairy Market, remember one thing: no matter what, do not leave the market supervisor's sight. Otherwise, you won't even know how you died..."

As the ghost market broker was speaking, something unusual suddenly happened in the market ahead.
