Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 397 Trouble comes from the mouth
As soon as the question came out, a large number of voices suddenly rang in Shang Lu's ears.

The sounds were noisy and unclear, some were rustling like whispers, and some were deafening like thunder... It was as if there were many people surrounding Shang Lu's ears, talking in a rush.

But the language he spoke was a language that Shang Lu couldn't understand.

If it were someone else, they would probably be affected by the noisy sounds and go crazy at this moment.

Even Shang Lu was dizzy from the noise.

He subconsciously took out the purification talisman.

But before he could put down the purification talisman, the yin and yang bells in his internal organs began to sound an alarm.

The "ding ding ding" sound of the bells interrupted the strange noise, and Shang Lu's dizziness was instantly relieved a lot.

At the same time, the five statues in the internal organs were all "awakened".

Five colored lights of blue, red, yellow, white and black bloomed from the statue, helping Shang Lu to offset most of the interference from the chaotic divine language.

However, at this moment, Shang Lu felt that pairs of eyes seemed to appear in the empty night.

In an instant, Shang Lu's mood was affected.

Anger, despair, killing...all kinds of emotions instantly filled Shang Lu's mind, trying to influence and pollute him.

At this time, the soul-sacrificing altar emitted strange lights that covered Shang Lu.

At the same time, the Nine-Bend Yellow Spring Road hovering above the soul-sacrificing altar also rose up, like a dome protecting Shang Lu, preventing the eyes that appeared in the night sky from discovering him or staring at him.

Shang Lu thus maintained his sanity and was not polluted or affected by these strange eyes and the negative and chaotic emotions they brought.

Although everything was fine, Shang Lu did not dare to be careless. He quickly followed the knowledge he had learned in the Nuo witch class and ended this spiritual communication.

As soon as the divine ritual was over, those strange eyes in the night sky and the negative emotions they brought with them all disappeared.

The strange noisy sound that had been echoing in Shang Lu's ears also stopped.

Not until all these strange phenomena disappeared did the Nine-Bend Yellow Spring Road floating above the soul-altar turn back into wisps of black gas, fly into the back of Shang Lu's hand, and disappear.

"call……"

Shang Lu exhaled a breath and felt a little relieved, but he did not rush to put away the purification talisman between his fingers, and remained vigilant.

Once he is in a wrong mood, he will immediately activate this talisman.

At the same time, Shang Lu turned his gaze to the soul-sacrificing altar.

Today he was able to remain unaffected by the chaotic divine language and uncontaminated by those strange eyes. The soul altar had played its role.

Moreover, through the operation, Shang Lu also confirmed that with the help of the soul-sacrificing altar, the beginning and end of the spiritual ceremony were much faster.

In the past, even if he wanted to end his spiritual communication, he would have to perform a ceremony to send the gods off first.

But anyone who has ever prayed to gods knows that it is easier to invite them than to send them away, especially in such a strange situation as just now.

It is even possible that the invited Tu Bo was sent away, but the group of strange beings who "came uninvited" could not be sent away.

"It's really a good treasure. I have found a treasure this time."

Shang Lu praised sincerely, and then he pinched his fingers and chanted a spell, making the soul altar return to the size of a palm, and took it in his hand.

Although the soul altar cannot speak, as soon as Shang Lu touched it, he immediately felt the emotions it released.

Proud and happy.

Huh? Shang Lu was slightly stunned, thinking, is this a baby who likes to hear nice words and craves to be praised? This is easy to deal with, I have a eloquent tongue, and I can definitely praise people in a nice way!

Shang Lu was secretly amazed, and at the same time he also remembered the preferences of the Soul Altar.

Compared to feeding blood food and elixirs, saying some nice words of praise is so much easier.

If you can use a few nice words to praise the soul altar to the point that the weapon spirit is delighted, that would be such a great deal!

After putting away the soul altar, Shang Lu recovered and began to figure out what had happened just now!

What are those strange eyes that appear in the night sky?

Was it from Tubo? Or was it some other strange being that was attracted by his question?
And what did Tubo want to tell him? Why did it become a noisy, chaotic, and polluting divine language?
Did something happen to Tubo himself? Or were those strange beings interfering with his answer?
Shang Lu thought of this and asked hurriedly, "Sanniang, what time is it now?"

"Just after the ugly hour."

Sanniang's voice rang in Shang Lu's ears: "I just kept reminding you that it was almost the hour of the Ox, but you didn't respond."

Shang Lu was sure that he had not heard Sanniang's reminder before.

Sanniang would never lie to him, so was it the chaotic and noisy divine language that affected him and made him fail to hear Sanniang's reminder? Or was he also affected by the strange existence?

At first Shang Lu suspected that the chaotic divine language and strange eyes were related to Tu Bo.

After all, once the Chou hour is over, many gods will fall into madness again, such as the god with a pig body, eight legs and a snake tail.

But Shang Lu soon dispelled this doubt, because after the strange eyes appeared, the Nine-Bend Yellow Spring Road turned into a dome to protect him.

If this series of events was caused by Tu Bo's madness, why would Tu Bo protect him? Isn't that a contradiction?

Therefore, it was not that Tu Bo wanted to make him crazy and corrupt.

But an unknown existence suddenly arrived!

No, it can’t be said to have arrived. It should be said that he just glanced here.

Shang Lu was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

Such a terrifying existence, isn't it also a god? Even its strength is not inferior to Tu Bo!
Shang Lu secretly made up his mind that next time he communicated with Tu Bo, if Tu Bo did not take the initiative to answer today's question, he would not mention it again.

If you want to mention it, you have to wait until your cultivation level is high enough to deal with these accidents.

He didn't want to be like some of his predecessors who were eager to know the secrets of the world and explore ways to become immortals or gods, and eventually went crazy and became treacherous.

What happened tonight reminded Shang Lu that the secrets of this world are not so easy to explore.

If you are not careful, you might be targeted by some unknown terrifying existence and fall into an irretrievable situation!
Curiosity not only kills the cat, it also kills the practitioner.

Shang Lu also warned himself in his heart that he still needed to continue to improve his cultivation so that he would have enough ability to deal with these unknown mysterious beings.

He raised his head and glanced at the dark sky.

Although the strange eye in the night sky had disappeared, Shang Lu felt that the entire night sky was like a huge eye.

Watching everyone in this world.

After a moment, Shang Lu withdrew his gaze from the night, then turned around and returned to the temporary camp.

At this time, outside the temporary camp, the thieves had already built several layers of mechanisms and traps.

Shang Lu was aware of this situation, so when he was about to reach the temporary camp, he slowed down his pace.

He first stated his identity, and then, under the guidance of Qiudao, he passed through several layers of mechanisms and traps and entered the temporary camp.

During the time he was away, everything in the camp was normal and no accidents occurred.

Shang Lu asked Du Feng and others, and they didn't feel anything unusual just now.

I neither felt that there were eyes in the night sky nor heard any strange mumblings.

Shang Lu checked carefully and confirmed that they were really not affected. He then checked the bodies of the three-headed monster babies. They were still burning in the fire. No beasts or demons came to attack them, and they were not affected by the previous strange situation.

After taking a walk around the camp and making sure nothing had happened, Shang Lu finally felt relieved.

Then everyone was asked to rest, and the paper people and the plants and animals in the mountains were responsible for the vigilance tonight.

Everyone in the thief Cao's office gladly accepted the order and began to practice qigong and regulate their breathing beside the campfire.

Shang Lu also practiced the Dragon and Tiger Strength and the "Secrets of the Alchemy Classic" to absorb the medicinal properties of the Three Corpses Health-preserving Pill he had swallowed before.

During this training process, Shang Lu discovered that there were a few more strands of divine power in his body.

Did Wu Zangmiao just steal... um, borrow it?
It turns out that a thief never leaves empty-handed!

Shang Lu did not hold back. Through the process of cultivation, he completely refined these strands of divine power and integrated them into a part of his own strength.

Everyone in my body is working so hard, I can’t fall behind.

The night passed quickly.

When the sky in the east began to turn pale, the fire that had been burning all night finally began to die down.

After being burned all night, the body of the three-headed monster baby was completely burned to ashes.

However, just as Shang Lu was about to bury the ashes of the three-headed monster baby, he discovered that three beads were burned out of the monster's ashes.

It looks similar to glass beads, but it contains liquid spiritual energy.

The three beads all have rich spiritual energy, and each gives people a different feeling.

One is fierce and masculine, one is feminine and gentle, and the third is elusive, sometimes small and sometimes big, changing constantly.

Shang Lu observed for a moment and made sure that the three beads were harmless before picking them up carefully.

After studying them for a while, I still couldn't figure out their purpose.

Just these three beads are not simple at first glance. Even if they are not treasures, they should be residual spirits.

So, although he didn't know their use for the time being, Shang Lu still put them in his pocket, intending to study them slowly on the way.

At worst, when I return to Baiyi County, I can go to Senior Sister Gongshu for help.

Afterwards, Shang Lu buried the bodies of the three-headed monster babies and sprinkled a layer of special medicine powder on them.

During this process, the thieves were not idle either. They dismantled and put away the mechanisms and traps set up last night one by one.

There was no need to rush today, so Shang Lu did not ask the thieves to stick the talismans.

The effect of the magic talisman is good, but it consumes a lot of physical energy and blood. It is okay to use it in emergency situations, but it is not worth it to use it in normal situations.

Shang Lu took out the talisman paper and quickly tore out a few paper horses, and then tore out a large carriage.

Then he made hand gestures and chanted a spell to make the paper horse and paper car grow bigger and take shape.

Then he tore off a wheelbarrow and told the thief to use it to hitch the paper horse and paper cart.

After a busy period, Shang Lu asked everyone to get on the car.

But this time, not only did the thieves look at each other in confusion and hesitate, but even Du Feng couldn't help but ask, "Sir, can this be done?"

It’s not that they don’t believe in Shang Lu’s magic, but they don’t believe in Shang Lu’s skill in tearing paper.

Not only did they tear the horse into pieces like a dog, they also tore the wheel of the cart into pieces...

Can such a carriage really run? Can people really sit in it? Don't let it be thrown into the air, right?
"Take away the word 'ma'. What else do you have to doubt about my witchcraft? Get in the car, hurry up!"

Shang Lu almost patted his chest and made a promise.

Seeing his solemn promise, the thieves dared not say anything more and got on the car one after another.

Although the carriage is simple in shape, it is large enough to accommodate luggage and a dozen people without any problem.

Shang Lu did not take the car, but rode a paper horse in front.

Seeing this, Zhu Quan did not get on the car, but chose another paper horse to ride.

"Hold on tight, let's go!"

Shang Lu greeted him, then he made hand gestures and chanted a spell, giving orders to the paper horse.

Several paper horses galloped at full speed, pulling the carriage high into the air.

It really flew.

The thieves sitting in the carriage held on to everything they could, and just managed to keep themselves steady and avoid being thrown off the carriage.

There was no road on the mountain, so it was bumpy to begin with. The paper horses ran very fast, and the wheels were semi-circular rather than square...all these factors combined made the thieves feel like they were flying.

It’s very exciting, but my bones can’t take it. I feel like they’re going to be torn apart.

Shang Lu, who was riding a horse in front, noticed the situation of the thieves and kindly reminded them: "Use your energy and keep your body steady."

Zhu Quan looked back and agreed, "This is a rare opportunity to practice, it will be good for you, why don't you hurry up and do what the adults say!"

The thieves hurriedly gathered their strength to stabilize their bodies, but they were all complaining in their hearts: "What a rare opportunity to practice, why don't you come and try it?"

Shang Lu did not intend to bother these thieves on purpose. After giving them a reminder, he slowed down the speed of the paper horse.

However, this scene reminded Shang Lu of a sentence he heard from the squad leaders who drove in the army in his previous life: Cabbages will be damaged by the shaking, and piglets cannot be caught if they run away, but my comrades-in-arms have strong wills and bodies of steel, and can come back by themselves if they fall off the car.

"I didn't throw you off the car, so be content." Shang Lu said in his heart, and at the same time, his confidence in his driving skills increased.

Along the way, Shang Lu did not take the official road in order not to expose his whereabouts.

Although Xi Feng and his gang died at Heifeng Ferry, no one knew whether they had notified other people or forces to ambush and kill them before they died, in addition to Qiang Jiang.

In order to hide their tracks, they could not take the official road for the time being and could only take small paths or even make their own way.

This made life difficult for the thieves sitting in the car, as they had to practice lifting heavy weights, doing horse stance and doing two-handed snatches all along the way.

It was not until the afternoon that they saw a town in the distance and hurriedly suggested to Shang Lu:
"Sir, there is a town ahead. How about we go buy some horses?"

"Yes, yes, it's easier to hide your tracks with a horse. A paper horse pulling a paper cart is really eye-catching."

"If we have horses, we can patrol the surrounding areas and take on the tasks of scouting and guarding."

Although the reasons given by the thieves were all reasonable, Shang Lu knew that they were simply being misled.

When we stopped to rest before, many people couldn't even stand steadily after getting off the bus, and several of them even lay on the ground and vomited.

It is indeed not a good idea to let them continue to ride in the carriage. Otherwise, if they encounter an emergency and cannot even walk steadily, how will they respond?

Why is it so difficult to tear this wheel into a round shape?
Shang Lu sighed in his heart

After a brief consideration, he told the bandits, "Rest where you are." He then called Du Feng and Zhu Quan, "You two, follow me into the city to buy horses."

Shang Lu also wanted to go into the city to find out the news.

Judging from the time, Yingshengchong should have spread the news that the Huangting Sect used humans as bait to raise monsters and practiced cannibalism.

I don't know what the effect is. What response has Guling County made?
I should go and find out.
