Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 383 Awakening the Chicken-Foot God

Jianshi brought Shanglu to the foot of the altar and stopped.

"Go up by yourself. I can only take you here. Although I am the market supervisor, in the eyes of the Chicken-Foot God, I am no different from the rotten corpses and evil spirits in the market. If I go up to the altar, once he wakes up and smells the scent I left behind, he will definitely come and eat me."

It is not difficult to tell from his words that Jianshi was full of fear of the chicken-foot god who was sleeping soundly on the altar.

Seeing this, Shang Lu did not force it, but bowed and thanked him: "I am very grateful that you can send me here."

His words came from the bottom of his heart, without any falsehood.

If Jianshi hadn't escorted him all the way, it would have been almost impossible for him to get here.

The evil ghosts and corpses in the Fairy Market are not stupid, on the contrary, they are very cunning. Although they have not tasted the Shanglu incense, they can tell that this thing is unusual from the reactions of the market supervisor and several of his companions who have received the incense.

Definitely something better than blood food!

Along the way, countless evil spirits and corpses have been eyeing Shanglu's incense and plotting against him.

If it weren't for Jian Shi standing by his side, Shang Lu would have been surrounded by evil spirits and corpses, who would have used all means to trick him into using up all the incense and candles he brought with him, and even tried to lure his people to a remote place and eat them all.

Although there are various market rules in the Fairy Market, these evil spirits and corpses have long figured out ways to circumvent them.

As long as they are not blinded by evil spirits and desires, they have plenty of ways to eat customers without alerting the market supervisors and market regulations.

Even if Shang Lu could avoid these greedy evil spirits and corpses, it would be impossible for him to get close to the altar.

I can only run around like a headless fly.

Because there was a circle of strange black fog surrounding the altar.

This circle of black fog cannot be seen from a distance. It only appears when people approach the altar, blocking people out.

Although the scale of the black fog is not large, its weirdness is far greater than the fog in Yunhua Mountain.

If you don’t know the method, let alone passing through this strange black fog, you can’t even walk into the black fog and can only wander around outside the black fog.

The black fog is clearly very close, but I can't get in.

It seems that there is only one step left, but when I take this step, it always goes to the wrong place.

"No need to thank me, this is what I promised you. Now that I have enjoyed your incense, I should get the job done."

Jianshi waved his hands and said you're welcome, but the satisfaction he showed towards Shang Lu could not be erased from his eyes.

Because Shang Lu understood etiquette, the city supervisor also reminded him:

"When you get on the altar, be careful. Although the Chicken Foot God has the word 'God' in his name, he is at most an evil god. He has a bad temper and has been here for many years. He has been polluted and eroded by the evil spirit, becoming more irritable and bloodthirsty. He might do something extreme when you wake him up, so be careful."

Although Jian Shi knew how to awaken the Chicken Foot God, he had never done it before, so he had no idea what would happen if he awakened the Chicken Foot God in advance.

In fact, some people had asked him for the method to awaken the Chicken-foot God before, but they had not succeeded because they were not escorted by the market supervisor and could not even get to the altar.

So Shang Lu didn't know whether there would be any accidents if he awakened the Chicken Foot God in advance. He could only remind Shang Lu to be careful and stay alert.

Shang Lu listened to the reminder from the city inspector and nodded in response, becoming more alert and cautious.

The existence of the evil spirit is said to be a god, but it is more like a vicious evil ghost.

However, unlike ordinary evil ghosts, the evil spirit can not only harm people but also punish evil-eating ghosts. It also often serves as a ghost messenger and a divine soldier.

The evil spirit always has a bad temper. There is a legend among the people that says someone encountered the evil spirit while walking on the road at night, and fell seriously ill when he came back, and soon died.

This chicken-foot god is not only an evil god, but has also been polluted by the evil spirits of this place, and no one knows how strange and ferocious he has become!
Although there are many strange rules in the Fairy Market to protect "customers".

But whether the Chicken Foot God is bound by these rules, the city supervisor is not sure, and Shang Lu is even less sure. In any case, it is better to be careful!
However, before bidding farewell to the city supervisor and stepping onto the altar, Shang Lu took out something from the bag he was carrying on his back, held it in both hands, and handed it to the city supervisor.

After the city supervisor took it and looked at it, he found that what Shang Lu gave him was actually a scroll.

He couldn't help but be very surprised: "Why did you give me the book?"

Shang Lu explained: "This is the "Righteous Qi Jue" given to me by a friend. If you recite it day and night, you can cultivate a great and righteous spirit. The place where Jianshi is located is full of chaos and evil spirits. I need this book to cultivate righteousness and fight against it."

When they were visiting the market before, the market supervisor had mentioned to Shang Lu that although he could still barely maintain his sanity now, he might go completely crazy and out of control at any time due to the pollution and corrosion of the evil spirit.

He also warned Shang Lu that next time he came to the Fairy Market, if he found that he became strange and weird, he must not rashly approach him to greet him, so as not to be hurt by him when he lost control.

It was also at that moment that Shang Lu decided to give the "Art of Righteousness" to Jian Shi.

Anyway, he had memorized the contents of the book by heart and had developed a righteous spirit. Even without the help of this scroll, he could continue to cultivate his righteous spirit.

The mayor opened his mouth wide, then shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"I've become like this, why should I still maintain my righteousness?"

Shang Lu doesn't think so: "As long as there is light in your heart, why fear being in darkness?"

"Ha." The city supervisor laughed dumbly. He was not encouraged by Shanglu's chicken soup. He shook his head and said, "You are talking without any pain. If you really want to stay in this place, you will be polluted and corrupted even if you still have light in your heart, and it will become evil light or fierce light."

But he said this, but he did not return the "Zhengqi Jue" to Shang Lu. Instead, he asked: "Since this book was given to you by a friend, aren't you afraid of being blamed by your friend for giving it to me?"

"If my friend knew about this, he would not be angry. Instead, he would praise me for doing a good job." Shang Lu laughed.

Tian Chang was a true Confucian who made educating the world his life goal.

He traveled around with a sword in one hand and a book in the other.

While fighting demons and defending the Way, he also taught the villagers to read and write. If he met someone with talent, he would even teach them how to cultivate their moral character.

If Tian Chang knew that Shang Lu gave "The Art of Righteousness" to Jianshi in order to let Jianshi maintain his original mind and cultivate his righteousness in such a chaotic and dangerous place, he would definitely give Shang Lu a thumbs up and cheer loudly.

Teaching without distinction is in line with the true Confucian ideal.

If the city supervisor could really cultivate righteousness, then the merits of his education would be enormous.

The city supervisor was not a hypocritical person. After hearing Shang Lu's answer, he smiled and said, "In that case, I will accept this book. If I can really cultivate a righteous spirit and withstand the pollution of evil spirits, and have a chance to leave this hellhole...even if it's the ends of the earth, I will find you, thank you, and invite you to get drunk."

"Then it's a deal. I'm waiting to supervise the market."

Shang Lu said this and raised his right hand.

Jian Shi was stunned for a moment, then he smiled, raised his hand, and struck a blow with Shang Lu.

"Okay, it's a deal!"

After clapping hands as an oath, Shang Lu formally bid farewell to the city supervisor, holding the animal whip wrapped around his waist in his right hand, and walked up to the altar step by step.

During the climb to the summit, Shang Lu was highly focused, fearing that something unusual might happen.

But nothing happened until he climbed to the top of the altar and stood before the sleeping Chicken-Foot God.

Shang Lu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and did not rush to awaken the Chicken Foot God, but looked around first. The altar was not very high, only about ten meters. However, because most of the buildings in the Fairy Market had been destroyed, only a few broken walls and ruins were left, which showed the height of the altar.

Shang Lu stood on the altar and looked around, able to take in most of the Fairy Market.

At this time, no one else in the Fairy Market noticed that he had stepped onto the altar.

Perhaps it was because the place was too dark, or perhaps those people simply had no intention of looking at the altar.

They were all blinded by greed and kept buying things under the coaxing of evil spirits and corpses.

When they had used up the blood food they brought in, they would cut off their flesh and sell their blood. They would even sign a contract under the instigation of these evil spirits and corpses, requiring them to offer them enough blood food within a specified period of time.

Shang Lu just glanced around and then looked back at the Chicken-foot God who was sleeping soundly on the altar.

As he got closer, Shang Lu could feel more and more clearly the murderous aura emanating from the Chicken Foot God.

This murderous aura was like a substance, cold and sharp, causing Shang Lu to feel a stinging sensation.

For safety reasons, Shang Lu chanted the Stone Armor Spell and summoned a layer of stone armor to put on his body.

At this moment, he still looked like a paper man, and even if he was wearing stone armor, it would not be visible.

It just made his originally pale color look a little darker.

This was an almost imperceptible change in the already dim Fairy Market.

Then, Shang Lu reached for the oil-paper umbrella he was carrying and called out softly, "Sanniang."

After getting Sanniang's response, he felt relieved and took out a wine gourd, a box of centipedes, and dark red centipede eggs that looked like blood clots from his bag.

Shanglu uncorked the wine gourd and first stuffed some centipede eggs into it, and then stuffed in a few centipedes.

Then he placed the wine gourd in front of the Chicken-Foot God's head, then stepped back a few steps to observe the situation.

The Chicken-Foot God has a long and pointed face, just like the snake spirit in the Calabash Brothers, and has an equally long and pointed hooked nose.

After smelling the aroma of wine and the scent of the centipede, the Chicken Foot God's hooked nose began to twitch even with his eyes closed.

After a while, the Chicken Foot God was really awakened by the aroma of wine.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the wine gourd placed in front of his head.

An air-eating centipede soaked in wine was sticking its head out of the gourd and trying to crawl out.

Upon seeing this, the Chicken Foot God immediately opened his mouth, and a long, sharp chicken tongue shot out from his mouth like lightning, and with a "whoosh", it pierced the centipede that had poked its head out.

The chicken tongue seemed to have its own swallowing function. Shang Lu clearly saw that the centipede that was pierced disappeared in an instant. It was actually swallowed by this strange tongue in a weird way.

After eating the air-eating centipede, the chicken tongue rolled up the wine gourd like a snake and put it into the mouth of the chicken-foot god.

The Chicken-Foot God stood up, raised his head, and gulped down all the wine in the gourd, along with the poisonous insects and their eggs.

In the end, feeling unsatisfied, the Chicken Foot God opened his mouth, chewed the wine gourd into pieces, and swallowed it whole.

After exhaling the alcohol, he exclaimed in a sharp and piercing voice: "It's delicious. I haven't eaten something this delicious for a long time..."

As he finished speaking, he smelled the scent of a stranger and suddenly turned his head to look at Shang Lu.

A pair of sinister eyes flashed with a menacing fierce light.

Shang Lu was just about to pay his respects and ask the Chicken-Foot God to crow and ring the bell to close the market, when he suddenly heard Sanniang's urgent voice reminding him, "Get out of the way!"

Without any hesitation, Shang Lu immediately used the newly learned Nine Transformations of Divine Speed ​​and flashed to the right at an extremely fast speed.

"Whoosh-"

Almost at the same moment, the Chicken Foot God opened his mouth, and his long, pointed chicken tongue shot like a sharp arrow towards the place where Shang Lu had just stood.

The speed is so fast that it's astonishing!
If Sanniang hadn't reminded him, it would have been too late to react after the Chicken-Foot God stuck out his tongue, and he would have been able to rely on the stone armor to endure it.

It is hard to say whether Shijia can withstand the sharp and strange tongue of the Chicken-Foot God.

The attack missed, and a look of surprise appeared on the Chicken Foot God's face.

He didn't expect that the stranger who woke him up from his sleep could actually dodge his tongue.

The Chicken Foot God did not give Shang Lu a chance to speak, nor did he retract his chicken tongue. He twisted his head and lashed at Shang Lu with his long, thin chicken tongue like a whip. At the same time, a cluster of small fleshy thorns popped up on his tongue.

Sanniang's voice rang in Shang Lu's ears again: "Dodge to the right and raise your shield!"

Shang Lu, who had this experience once, immediately did as he was told and jumped straight to the right at such a fast speed that he looked like a ghost. At the same time, he activated the tortoise shell shield, held it in his left hand, and protected himself.

"Whoohoo-"

The small fleshy thorns that emerged from the chicken-foot god's tongue suddenly exploded at this moment and turned into sharp long thorns, chasing after Shang Lu.

Fortunately, Shanglu dodged in advance and avoided the chicken tongue and most of the meat thorns.

The few flesh thorns were blocked by his tortoise shell shield.

However, after these strange flesh thorns hit the tortoise shell shield, they actually opened into strange mouths full of sharp teeth in an attempt to bite through the tortoise shell shield.

"Attack his lower body with the air blade, and at the same time, move three feet above his head and whip and release thunder."

Sanniang's voice rang out again in time.

At this moment, Shang Lu caught a glimpse of Sanniang out of the corner of his eye - she had emerged from the oil-paper umbrella, holding a handful of yarrow roots and quickly telling fortunes.

So these three early warnings were all because Sanniang had calculated the danger? She even accurately calculated the direction of the Chicken Foot God's attack?
Why is Sanniang's divination skill progressing so rapidly?

As expected of my third mother, she is so awesome!

Shang Lu's thoughts were as fast as lightning, but his movements were not slow at all.

The moment he heard Sanniang's reminder, he mobilized his energy and transformed it into more than a dozen flying blades, which made a sharp sound of breaking through the air and blasted towards the Chicken-Foot God.

At the same time, Shang Lu pulled out the beast whip wrapped around his waist. Under the stimulation of the Five Thunders Subduing Demons Whip Technique, streaks of lightning and fire shuttled through the whip and whipped towards the direction three feet above the head of the Chicken-Foot God.

The moment Shang Lu released the air blade, the Chicken Foot God jumped up from the ground and easily avoided the sharp air blade.

He looked down at me with a sneer, "How dare you! You not only refuse to let me eat your heart and liver, but you also dare to attack me? You think you can hurt me? It's a joke! You can't even touch a feather of mine..."

Just when he was halfway through saying this, the Chicken-Foot God's sinister little eyes suddenly widened.

He saw a long whip, carrying a raging stream of thunder and fire, whistling towards him.

It was as if a thunderbolt struck from the sky, with incredible power!
