Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple
Chapter 386 Hope
Chapter 386 Hope
Fairy Market.
With the departure of Shang Lu and others, this small world suddenly became quiet and depressing.
All the evil ghosts and corpses dared not say a word. They lined up in a long queue trembling in fear, and offered the extra portion of their flesh, blood, and liver to the Chicken Foot God.
At this moment, in the huge Fairy Market, there were only the strange shrieks caused by the surging evil spirit and the mournful wails of the corpses and souls being burned in the braziers.
The Chicken-Foot God on the altar, after watching Shang Lu being teleported away by the black fog, did not enjoy the offerings from evil spirits and rotten corpses as he did in the past.
He threw away the shin bone he used to ring the bell, and in a flash he flew down the altar and came to the front of the city supervisor.
"God... God."
The pale-faced mayor tried to explain in a hurry, but the Chicken-Foot God didn't listen at all. He grabbed his neck and lifted him up.
"How dare you bring an outsider to disturb my sweet dreams!"
Shang Lu was Tu Bo's man, and the Chicken Foot God did not dare to act rashly. But for him, crushing a city supervisor to death was as easy as crushing a bug.
"I have the final say in this place. I am the king here. How dare you cause trouble for me? Are you trying to rebel?"
Jianshi felt like his soul was about to be crushed. He squeezed out a voice to cry out for justice: "God, I don't have such thoughts..."
The Chicken Foot God interrupted with a cold snort: "Are you saying that I made up something out of nothing and wrongly accused you?"
The city supervisor was shocked: "That's not what I meant..."
But the Chicken Foot God did not give him a chance to explain. He simply exerted force with his hands and tried to crush his soul to vent the evil fire in his heart.
At the same time, it is also a warning to the evil ghosts and corpses in the Fairy Market, letting them know that they cannot kill outsiders, and it is easy to kill them.
However, something that the Chicken Foot God did not expect happened at this moment.
A ball of black gas surged up from Jianshi's body, directly breaking through the hands of the Chicken-Foot God, knocking him more than ten steps away and heavily onto the altar.
Afterwards, the black gas turned into a strange spiral road that kept rotating.
It is exactly the shape of the Tubo Seal.
"Why do you also have the Tubo seal on your body?!"
The Chicken Foot God was horrified, and the domineering attitude he had displayed just a moment ago was instantly wiped out.
Jian Shi was also shocked and confused, and he quickly thought of Shang Lu.
"Did that person leave it here? He knew that the Chicken-Foot God would be angry with me, so he left this Earth Seal to save my life?"
The Chicken Foot God was also wondering whether this Tu Bo Seal was left by Shang Lu.
Regardless of whether it was true or not, the appearance of the Tubo seal on Jianshi’s body made him dare not mess around again.
Just now, Tu Boyin knocked him away, which might have been a warning. If he dared to continue, it would not be as simple as being knocked away.
The Chicken Foot God was both angry and aggrieved, his face was gloomy and very ugly.
But soon, he no longer had time to be angry.
Because he found that he had overthought. Or, in other words, he had overestimated himself.
After knocking him away, Tubeyin soared into the sky and flew straight into the dark sky in the Fairy Market.
At first, the Tu Bo Seal was circling relatively slowly, but its speed was increasing rapidly and its size was also expanding rapidly.
After just a few breaths, the spiral Tu Bo Seal had occupied half of the sky, turning into a winding and twisted Yellow Springs Road. It also looked like a huge strange eye, overlooking the evil spirits and corpses in the Fairy Market.
The evil ghosts, rotten corpses and even the chicken-footed gods that were seen by this strange eye had no desire to resist. They all prostrated themselves on the ground, trembling.
At the same time, the chaotic evil spirit in the Fairy Market seemed to have sensed the invasion of foreign enemies, and instantly gathered from all directions, forming a terrifying evil spirit storm.
The intensity of this evil storm is countless times stronger than the one stirred up by the Chicken Foot God just now. Compared with the two, it is like an ant seeing the blue sky!
It was only at this moment that the Chicken Foot God realized that the chaotic evil energy accumulated in the Fairy Market had reached such a terrifying level!
A sense of despair suddenly arose in his heart.
I felt like I was going to be completely torn apart by this evil storm, without even a trace left!
Even the chicken-foot god is like this, not to mention other evil ghosts and corpses.
Fortunately, this evil storm was not directed at them, but went straight to the Yellow Springs Road that occupied half of the sky.
"Rumble--"
The evil storm and the Yellow Springs Road collided violently in the dark sky.
They opened fire at full force, wanting to tear each other apart and devour each other.
For a while, the two fought evenly and the battle was extremely fierce.
The might generated by the collision between powerful divine power and violent evil spirit turned into bolts of thunder and gusts of strong wind, which struck back and forth in the Fairy City and continued to wreak havoc.
The Fairy Market was shaking violently, as if it would collapse at any time.
At this moment, the Chicken Foot God had no time to bother looking for trouble with the City Supervisor, and he didn't have any anger or rage to vent.
He was just like the corpses and evil spirits in the Fairy Market, crawling and rolling, trying to find a safe place to hide.
This devastating scene made these dead creatures extremely terrified.
Jian Shi, who escaped the disaster, also crawled and rolled, and found a place to hide.
As for whether hiding like this was safe or useful, he had no idea.
But at least it can make your heart a little more peaceful.
Jianshi bravely stuck his head out from the ruins, looking at the Yellow Springs Road that occupied half of the sky and was fighting fiercely with the evil storm. Suddenly, he felt as if he really saw hope of escaping from this strange and weird place.
He lowered his head and looked at the book "Righteous Qi Jue" that Shang Lu had given him. After hesitating for a moment, he carefully opened the book.
Thousands of years have passed, and the world's languages and writing have undergone great changes.
Fortunately, Jianshi had already mastered the current common language, and also knew the characters of Ba, Chu and other countries, so he could understand "The Art of Righteousness".
After reading it several times, Jianshi followed Shang Lu's instructions and began to recite: "Heaven and earth have righteous energy. The great righteous energy is the greatest and the most powerful. If it is nurtured with integrity and without harm, it will fill the space between heaven and earth..."
As he recited, the fear, panic and other emotions in Jianshi's heart miraculously calmed down.
It was as if I had entered a state of "As long as my heart is righteous, I will not be shocked even if the sky falls."
At the same time, a positive energy was generated in his body.
This positive energy was very weak. As soon as it was born, it was targeted by the chaotic evil energy in Jianshi's body, which wanted to pollute and assimilate it.
But Jian Shi recited "The Art of Righteousness" again and again, which allowed this weak righteous energy to withstand the pollution and assimilation of the chaotic evil energy and grow little by little.
Just like those saplings growing under the stubborn rocks, as long as they don’t yield and don’t give up, one day they will be able to push away the stubborn rocks and become towering trees!
Jianshi closed his eyes, feeling the changes in his body, and when he opened them again, he suddenly laughed: "When I leave this damn place, I will definitely go find you to drink. Let's not stop until we are drunk!"
On the other hand, Shang Lu didn’t know what happened in the Fairy Market, nor did he know that the market supervisor had actually cultivated a righteous spirit.
After he presented the strange silver ingot to Tu Bo, he followed the old woman with the lantern all the way, through the ancient streets shrouded in fog, and returned to the inn where they were staying.
When the old woman with the lantern disappeared and the fog receded, the various smells in the inn, as well as people's talking in their dreams and whispers, reappeared and entered Shang Lu's nose and ears.
Shang Lu knew that he had completely left the secret realm of the Ghost Market and returned to the human world. "I just wanted to buy some Five Evil Stones, but I didn't expect it would involve so many things."
Shang Lu sighed inwardly, and at the same time carefully checked the room to make sure that no one had been there. He glanced at the incense he had lit at midnight and found that only a small part of it had burned.
"It seems that the speed of time in the Ghost Market is indeed different from that in the outside world. I have experienced so many things in the Ghost Market and the Fairy Market, but the time that has passed in the outside world is only a few minutes."
No wonder the ghost market in Heifengdu attracts so many people.
Apart from not asking about the identities of the two parties involved in the transaction, or the origins of the money and goods, changes in appearance, the speed of time flow, etc. are all reasons.
Of course, the existence of the Fairy Market is also the reason why many people stay in the Black Wind Ferry Ghost Market for a long time.
Shang Lu checked the "Inaudible" again to make sure its shielding was still effective, then he took out the Three Corpses Health-Preserving Pill and the newly drawn Purification Talisman from his arms.
I originally planned to take the pill and apply the talisman to practice, but just when the pill was about to reach my mouth, I suddenly remembered something.
"After those ghost market guards go back, in addition to taking the strange silver ingots to track down the person, they might also send people to spy on us..."
Shang Lu didn't want the people here to notice anything strange, so he changed his mind immediately. However, he didn't put away the Three Corpses Health Pill and the Purity Talisman, but gave them to Sanniang, asking her to eat the pills and apply the talisman paper to improve her cultivation.
Sanniang had predicted the enemy's moves several times today, and she had always predicted them, which made him feel like he was cheating.
If Sanniang's cultivation could be improved further, and her divination could be faster and more accurate, then wouldn't he be able to experience more pleasure from cheating?
Sanniang did not say anything polite to Shang Lu, but she only took the Three Corpses Nourishing Pill and swallowed it, and was not interested in the Purification Talisman.
Shang Lu suddenly became nervous and tried to help Sanniang stick the talisman paper, but ended up getting a cold eye roll from Sanniang.
"I'm a ghost, this pill is not poisonous to me."
Although Sanniang said so, Shang Lu was still worried. He stared at her for a while and saw that she looked calm and did not have any strange reactions. Only then did he feel relieved.
Thinking about it, Sanniang was cold and inhuman before. During this period, as her cultivation improved, she gradually developed emotions and desires, like a human being.
The toxicity of the Three Corpses Nourishing Pill is that it arouses the desires in people's hearts.
For ordinary people, it is indeed a poison that tempts people to lose control. But for Sanniang, it helps her regain her humanity.
Shang Lu couldn't help but feel overjoyed, and thought to himself that if he had the chance to meet the city supervisor again, he would definitely thank him very much!
Shang Lu originally planned to sit cross-legged and practice the dragon and tiger power.
After sitting down, he suddenly remembered something and reached into his sleeve pocket in a hurry. Sure enough, he took out a palm-sized paper figure.
This is the person who was bitten to death by a rotten corpse as soon as he entered the Fairy Market.
Unexpectedly, after leaving the Fairy Market and returning to the human world, he still looked like a paper man.
Is it because of the law imposed by the market supervisor? Shang Lu guessed.
Regardless of the reason, this was a good thing for him. Otherwise, if he brought a corpse back to the human world and didn't have time to deal with it, it would be easy for someone with ulterior motives to discover his identity.
However, we have to find a way to hide this paper man.
Shang Lu was just thinking about it when he saw Sanniang release the paper banner and collect the paper man. This also surprised Shang Lu: the paper banner can not only collect souls, but also corpses?
Because of this incident, Shang Lu thought of the two fierce ghosts he bought in the ghost market. He immediately took out the jar containing the fierce ghosts, opened the seal, released the fierce ghosts inside, and asked Sanniang to put them into the soul flag to see if he could find out their origins after refining them.
At the same time, several ghost market guards who had returned to the human world came to the Black Wind Ferry Witch Temple under the cover of night.
Xi Feng summoned the ghost market guards in the house in the backyard and asked with a frown, "Didn't you go to the Fairy Market? Why are you back so soon?"
These ghost market guards are all from the Huangting Sect, because it is the Huangting Sect's turn to be on duty this month.
Of course, although people from other sects in Guling County were not on duty, they also sent many people to mingle in the ghost market under various identities.
While searching for useful treasures, I waited for the Fairy Market to open.
Among the group of people who entered the Fairy Market today, some were disciples from other sects.
At this moment, the guards of the Huangting Sect, after hearing Xi Feng's questioning, hurriedly recounted what had happened in the Xianling Market from the beginning.
At the beginning, Xi Feng did not take it too seriously. He just asked Lu Yun who was standing next to him to record a new rule, requiring disciples who would enter the Fairy Market in the future to bravely uphold the market rules.
Whoever does that will be rewarded.
Even if he is harmed by evil spirits or rotten corpses while maintaining city rules, his family will be given a high pension, and one of his closest relatives will be chosen to be admitted into the sect and taught carefully.
After the announcement, Xi Feng also said: "I will report this new rule to the reward elder later. With Perry's emphasis on the Fairy Market, it will definitely be passed, and even the rewards and pensions will be increased. Okay, continue to tell me, what happened next? Why did you close the market so early?"
Several Huangting Sect guards responded hastily and narrated what happened next.
I heard that some people in the Fairy Market could exchange treasures for incense and candles instead of flesh and blood, and even used incense and candles to "bribe" the market supervisor to come out and help bargain. Xi Feng, who had been lazily leaning on the chair, sat up straight in an instant.
He asked anxiously, "Do you know what kind of incense and candles that man used? Do you know his identity?"
Several Huangting Sect guards shook their heads.
Xi Feng's face darkened and he was about to scold these people for being stupid and useless.
As a result, one of the guards reported before he could start to curse: "I gave that person a tracking silver."
Xi Feng's gloomy face once again broke into a smile, changing his expression faster than Shang Lu and other Nuo witches, and he praised repeatedly: "Well done! Haha, you have made a great contribution this time, I will definitely help you and ask for credit from the gang."
The guard said hurriedly: "It was all thanks to Senior Brother Xi's good command. I dare not take credit for it."
Xi Feng smiled even happier: "Don't worry, you still get credit for your contribution. I'm not the kind of person who doesn't give credit to others."
Then he put away his smile and gave the order in a serious tone.
"You must cast a spell immediately to confirm the location of the tracking silver. Lu Yun, you must quickly gather the people. Once the location is confirmed, we will go and invite that person to the Wu Temple. We must not let him escape, and we must not let other sects get there first."
"Yes."
"Leader!"
Lu Yun and the guards obeyed the order in unison.
Then, one of them made hand gestures and chanted a spell, while the other ran out of the witch temple to call people.
The other guards were very envious of their companion's experience and hurriedly told them what happened afterwards.
Xi Feng heard that the mysterious man could not only exchange incense and candles for treasures in the Fairy Market, but also frightened the angry Chicken Foot God. Not only was he not killed, but the market was closed early at his request. He was shocked and asked repeatedly: "How did he do it?"
Several guards shook their heads.
"It was dimly lit in the Fairy Market. By the time we noticed the movement on the altar, it was already over. We really don't know what that person did."
Xi Feng frowned, but soon relaxed his brows and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. Once we invite that person to the Wu Temple, the mystery will be solved. You have all made great contributions this time, and I will definitely invite you to receive a generous reward!"
This matter was also a great achievement for Xi Feng. He seemed to have seen the hope of a breakthrough and a bright future of being promoted to an elder.
But at this moment, a cry of surprise interrupted Xi Feng's imagination of the future.
"Brother Xi, something bad has happened!"
Xi Feng's face darkened. What do you mean by "Senior Brother Xi is not well"? I'm damn fine!
He looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the person who was shouting was actually the fellow apprentice who had cast the spell to find Dingtuiyin. His heart skipped a beat and he stood up in a flash, asking anxiously, "What happened?"
