Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 378 Emma, ​​it smells so good!
"you……"

The corpse's tattered face was filled with shock.

It didn't expect Shanglu to do this.

These are all its words!

In the past, this rotten corpse had often frightened people who came to the Fairy Market.

Those who were threatened by it would either obediently cut off their flesh and buy its elixir, or be provoked by it and attack in anger.

Then it would bring in the market inspector on the grounds of "beating vendors and violating city regulations" and let it incite emotional people to cut off their flesh and donate blood as compensation.

This trick is used repeatedly by the corpse and never fails.

Living people from outside the Fairy Market will be affected by the evil spirits in the Fairy Market, and their mental weaknesses will be infinitely magnified, and they will be easily deceived and intimidated. Even if they have read the market regulations, they will be so scared that they forget to report to the market supervisor.

But this time, the rotten corpse capsized in the gutter.

The city supervisor in the distance heard Shang Lu's shout and immediately looked over.

His gaze was like two lightning bolts in the dim and gloomy Fairy Market, which not only dispelled the darkness, but also scared the corpses and evil spirits along the way, making them tremble in fear and quickly get out of the way.

"Article 7 of the city regulations prohibits forced buying and selling. Violators will be caned!"

The supervisor's voice was like thunder, deafening.

The rotten corpse that was threatening Shanglu was terrified and tried to run away, but it was too late.

Wisps of black gas whizzed in, instantly entangled it, and dragged it into an iron cage on the side of the road.

As the iron cage closed, countless whip shadows flashing with lightning and fire appeared out of thin air and lashed the rotten corpse with a crackling sound.

Every whip caused pus and blood to splatter everywhere, and rotten flesh to fly everywhere, making the corpse scream in agony.

The fate of this rotten corpse also frightened several other evil spirits and rotten corpses around who had become interested in Shang Lu. They retreated hastily and no longer dared to plot against Shang Lu in front of the city supervisor.

But they didn't want to give up completely. They rolled their eyes around, thinking about how to lure the Chinese rhubarb to a remote and deserted corner and eat it.

Ordinary methods will definitely not work. This kid has a strong willpower. Ordinary enticement and temptation will have no effect on him. He will even report you, which will not be worth the effort.

Just as the evil ghosts and corpses were thinking hard, Shang Lu took two steps at a time and quickly rushed to the front of Jianshi.

At this moment, there were only two people left following Jianshi.

The rest of the people, after trying to please and strike up a conversation without getting any response from the market supervisor, had no choice but to give up and instead study the rules of the Fairy Market and visit the stalls selling strange treasures.

The last two people were about to leave.

Seeing Shang Lu coming, one of them, perhaps because he admired his courage to go against the corpses and evil spirits, warned him: "It's useless. We tried everything, but we couldn't get in touch with the city supervisor. I can see that unless someone violates the city regulations, he won't pay any attention to them, and he is too lazy to pay attention to them."

Another person also said: "Yes, don't waste your time on him. You should quickly familiarize yourself with the market rules and go shopping. Don't let others buy all the good stuff by then."

Shang Lu bowed and thanked them, but did not leave with the two of them. He still planned to give it a try.

After all, he was different from others. He had already appeared in front of the city supervisor twice, and had accumulated a certain amount of goodwill. Moreover, there was something on him that the city supervisor might like.

Shang Lu stood beside the Supervisor, bowed and saluted, saying sincerely: "Thank you very much for saving me! I admire your maintenance of market order. If the Supervisor doesn't mind, I would like to patrol with him for a while so that I can learn from him."

The two people who had not walked far couldn't help but look back after hearing Shang Lu's words.

In order to please the mayor, they had thought of all kinds of nice words and flattered him a lot, but they had never thought of patrolling with the mayor and learning from him.

But although they were surprised, the two did not take it too seriously.

In order to please the mayor, they had said even more flattering words than this, but the mayor completely ignored them, and this time would definitely be no exception.

"Friend, we've used this trick of yours before, but... eh?!"

They had only spoken halfway when they saw Shang Lu pull out a few long strips of paper from his sleeve and light them.

When they saw the green smoke rising and smelled a faint fragrance, they realized that the long and thin strips of paper that Shang Lu took out were actually incense.

The market inspector, who had been looking around with empty eyes, actually cast his gaze on Shang Lu and responded, "Aren't you going to the market to buy something?"

Shang Lu originally wanted to say that learning from Jian Shi was more important than buying things, but when the words came to his lips, he changed his mind temporarily.

Because he noticed that the mayor's eyes were as sharp as a knife. If he lied, he would be easily exposed, thus destroying all the goodwill he had accumulated before.

Shang Lu made up his mind instantly and told the truth: "I heard that blood is used as currency in the market. I am not prepared, and I am reluctant to cut my meat and bleed."

At this time, the two people who had not yet walked far also came back to their senses from their surprise.

They quickly turned back and imitated Shang Lu's words:
"Jianshi, please allow me to learn from you!"

"Yes, Mayor, please give us a chance to learn!"

However, Jianshi's attitude towards the two of them was completely different from his attitude towards Shang Lu, and he still ignored them.

The two looked at each other in surprise, quickly trying to figure out what went wrong.

The two of them didn't understand, but Shang Lu knew it very well.

If he had not "defended" the city regulations twice before, the city supervisor would not have paid any attention to him even if he had used his eloquence until his cramps cramped.

After hearing the truth from him, the mayor showed a creepy smile on his pale face and nodded, saying, "You are honest and trustworthy. Remember, here, honesty and trustworthiness are the most important. What I hate most are those dishonest merchants and evil guests who lie to others with their big mouths!"

Shang Lu secretly said that it was a close call, fortunately he did not use any eloquence or sophistry, otherwise the city supervisor would have been displeased.

He was just thinking about how to answer the supervisor's question, when he heard the supervisor ask: "What does this incense mean?"

"The mayor has helped me out twice and saved my life. I have no way to repay you, so I can only burn a stick of incense to show my gratitude."

Shang Lu did not use any sweet talk; his words came from his heart. Even the city supervisor did not think he was lying.

"I'm not helping you out, I'm just maintaining market order. If you're the one violating the market rules, I'll punish you severely!"

The city supervisor said in a deep voice, and waved his hand, asking Shang Lu to put away the incense.

As a surveillance officer, how could he accept benefits?

But at this moment, a wisp of green smoke floated into Jianshi's nose.

"Huh? This scent... doesn't feel right."

The city supervisor was secretly amazed, and swallowed the words that were about to come to his lips. He subconsciously twitched his nose and took a few puffs of incense.

Then his entire pale face almost stuck to the three incense sticks in Shang Lu's hands.

The expression changed from initial astonishment and confusion to surprise.

"You smell so good, it's a good thing!"

The city supervisor said it smelled good, and secretly thanked himself for not saying anything final, otherwise he would be embarrassed. After all, he really didn't want to miss such a good smell.

The mayor did not expect that his reaction at this moment had already left many people dumbfounded.

Especially those who had been to the Fairy Market before, saw the Mayor take the incense from Shang Lu, hold it in his hands and inhale it, with an intoxicated expression, just like a drug addict.

The only difference is that people who take Deyega often have runny noses and saliva running down their throats, but Jianshi does not have those reactions. Instead, he becomes more energetic the more he smokes.

People even felt that after Jian Shi inhaled the incense, the evil spirit on his body was reduced a little, and instead there was some more divine light and brilliance.

Only Shang Lu was not surprised.

He had discovered before that the incense given to him by Sanniang could not only activate the five internal organs, but also that miracles would always occur when he burned incense to worship the gods.

Even if this city inspector is not a god, he should be a ghost-like character, so Shang Lu had speculated early on that Sanniang's incense might be liked by him.

Now I tried it, and it was true. The reaction of the supervisor was not just a simple liking, it was clearly love.

But other people didn't know the inside story, they just saw that Jianshi liked incense.

For a moment, some people were very upset, secretly hating why they hadn't thought of using incense to please the city supervisor before? They came in several times, but they didn't bring incense once.

But some people were pleasantly surprised and laughed out loud, because they happened to be wearing perfume.

Those who brought incense did not bother to choose the treasures they wanted. They rushed to the side of the city supervisor, took out incense, lit it, and offered it to the city supervisor.

The mayor sniffed lightly, savored the scent of these people, and then showed disgust on his face.

This is how you test your cadres?!
Is this an attempt to humiliate me?

He turned his face and shouted: "What are you going to do? Do you want to bribe me? Do you believe that I will issue the city rules and severely punish you?"

Several people who were burning incense were all shocked when they heard this. Seeing that the mayor was not pretending to be righteous but was really going to use the city rules to punish them, they hurriedly extinguished the incense in their hands, feeling very aggrieved.

They couldn't understand why, since they were all burning incense, the city supervisor would accept the incense that Shang Lu brought out with such a smile, and even act like he liked it very much and was very happy about it.

But when they burn incense, they are monitored, scolded, or even punished?

Is it because the people burning incense are different?
Or is it that incense, is there some secret?
Not only did the few people who failed to burn incense all cast their eyes on the incense in the hands of the city supervisor. Others in the distance were also curiously observing and speculating.

After just looking at them, they couldn't see anything special about these incense sticks.

He could only turn his attention to Shang Lu, thinking about finding an opportunity to ask him about his identity, or about the making method and origin of the incense.

But we have to wait until this guy leaves the prison city.

With the city supervisor nearby, it would be difficult for them to carry out their methods.

Several ghost market guards gathered together and whispered:
"Go, someone follow that guy, but don't follow him too closely, or else you'll alert the city supervisor and cause trouble. Just don't lose him."

"Isn't that necessary? I gave him a silver ingot before. If we look for that silver ingot, won't we be able to find him?"

"Didn't you notice just now? The broker has been talking to him and glanced at us a few times. He probably told him that there was something fishy about the silver ingot. To prevent any accidents, it is necessary to send someone to follow him. When he separates from the city supervisor, we will go up to him and try to get some information. Even if we can't get anything out of him, we will have to leave a mark on him so that we can find him after we return to Black Wind Ferry!"

After the discussion, a ghost market guard immediately left the team and followed Shang Lu from a distance.

He thought he was doing it very secretly, but he didn't expect that Sanniang would find out at the first moment and remind Shang Lu.

Shang Lu remained calm, but was secretly alert.

The market inspector was furious because everyone gathered around him again and used some low-quality incense to fool clay statues to fool him, which hindered his patrol in the Fairy Market. He had a sullen face and shouted angrily, and drove everyone away, leaving only Shang Lu by his side.

Perhaps because he was so soft-hearted, the market inspector not only allowed Shang Lu to patrol with him, but also asked again: "Are you really not going to buy something? There are still some good treasures in the Fairy Market."

Without waiting for Shang Lu to speak, he shook the incense in his hand.

"Your incense is something better than blood and food. It may be able to free the souls trapped here from their cages and allow them to transcend and no longer suffer."

Shang Lu was very curious about what kind of suffering these corpses and evil spirits would suffer being trapped here.
But the market supervisor obviously didn't want to talk about it, so he couldn't ask. He could only swallow his curiosity and asked, "Can my incense be used as currency in the Fairy Market?"

The city supervisor nodded and smiled: "Of course, and it is worth a lot of money!"

Shang Lu said, "But I don't know much about the treasures sold in the Fairy Market. I don't know what effects and dangers they have, and whether they are suitable for me. I wonder if I can ask the market supervisor to recommend one or two to me without delaying the patrol?"

"Well..."

Jianshi was a little hesitant.

He was so embarrassed to refuse the incense offered by Shanglu, but as a market supervisor, it would be too embarrassing for him to do the work of a broker.

Just as he was hesitating, he suddenly saw Shang Lu take out two more things and light them.

This time, what he took out was not incense, but a pair of candles.

"Yes, there is incense but no candles. No wonder I feel like something is missing."

The market supervisor nodded, thinking to himself: "But lighting a candle won't work. I'm the market supervisor, not a broker."

He planned to choose a compromise method, let Shang Lu go shopping by himself, and at most he would accompany him. In this way, the corpses and evil spirits would not dare to lie when introducing the treasures, let alone deceive Shang Lu.

The mayor, who had made up his mind, was about to speak when his nose couldn't help but twitch.

"This candle..."

He quickly reached out and grabbed the candle, stuffed it directly into his mouth, and swallowed the candle in just one bite. Then he showed surprise and said, "Not only is the fragrance good, the candle is also good..."

Then he got stuck and realized that he had eaten Shang Lujing's candle again, and it was difficult to refuse.

So he coughed and said, "Since you are sincere in asking, I will help you check, also because you have helped maintain the market order. Don't worry, with me here, you will definitely be able to buy the right treasure."

Shang Lu was overjoyed and immediately bowed to express his gratitude, repeatedly calling him "the mayor of Gaozheng."

When the others saw this, they cursed in their hearts: "Bullshit Gao Yi, it's obvious that you gave too much!"

Especially those who had been to the Fairy Market before, at this moment they were gritting their teeth, hating the shamelessness of the mayor and also hating themselves for not thinking of offering incense and candles.

They had thought about establishing a good relationship with the city supervisor and asking him to help recommend products.

But no matter how many sweet words and bribes were tried, the supervisor was as smelly and hard as a stone in a toilet, and would not budge.

Now it seems that it’s not that the market supervisors are principled, but that the tributes they gave were not given correctly?

What kind of fragrance and wax does the city supervisor like?

They couldn't help but look at Shang Lu, wondering curiously, "Who is this guy? Why are the incense and candles he brought out so popular with the city supervisor that they can even be used as currency in this weird fairy market?"

For a while, more and more people began to have ideas and secretly plotted against Shang Lu.

But because of the presence of the supervisor, even if they had some ideas, they dared not act recklessly.
