Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple
Chapter 508 It’s all under control
Chapter 508 It’s all under control
Suddenly, a group of paper soldiers and ink ghosts appeared in the camp.
These strange things came suddenly, as if appearing out of thin air, bypassing the county soldiers and heading straight for the tents where the civilians were.
At the same time, a feeling of irritability, tension, and panic quietly appeared in the camp, constantly affecting everyone.
It was obvious that someone wanted to drive away the laborers and cause the camp to explode again.
It also aroused negative emotions, causing conflicts between county soldiers and civilians, leading to mutual killing, and causing chaos in the entire camp.
The more chaotic it is, the better it is at hiding the truth.
"Sima, bandits are coming and have penetrated our camp!"
When the enemy first emerged, Zhu Quan sent his county soldiers out of the camp to support Tu Bin and others, and to look for Shang Lu.
As a result, before he found Shang Lu, he saw a group of paper soldiers and ink ghosts appear out of nowhere in the camp. He hurriedly sent all the soldiers around him to rescue the civilians.
When Zhu Quan found Shanglu, he was alone.
Judging from his appearance, he had probably fought with the Mo Gui on the road, and the blade was dripping with smelly, dark red ink.
"I saw."
What surprised Zhu Quan was that Shang Lu looked at the chaos in the camp without panicking or rushing to take action. He just sneered, "Finally he took the bait!"
Hooked? What hook?
Zhu Quan was stunned, and then heard Shang Lu correct him: "These paper soldiers and ink ghosts did not come from outside, but were 'born' by someone in the camp."
The Changbing had already sent back the news that the paper soldiers and ink ghosts that appeared in the camp were summoned by someone who had tattooed witchcraft spells on their bodies.
The witchcraft tattoos were hidden in the body, usually invisible and unnoticeable. However, the paper soldiers and ink ghosts were hidden in the witchcraft tattoos, and once the witchcraft tattoos were activated, they would swarm out.
No one knew who bewitched those people, and they were willing to let themselves become hosts of the paper soldiers and ink ghosts. After the paper soldiers and ink ghosts flew out, most of their blood and energy were immediately consumed.
Even if you are lucky enough to survive, you will have to spend the rest of your life in bed.
"what?"
Zhu Quan was shocked when he heard this, because he understood the subtext in Shang Lu's words: There is a traitor in the camp!
His face darkened, and just as he was about to ask for details, he saw Zhuang Fan rushing over with a few personal soldiers. He said anxiously, "Sima, the bandits are powerful and will not stop until they get the military supplies. Quickly release the alarm and call for reinforcements!"
At first glance, this proposal seems to be fine.
But if the military supplies were really stolen, the reinforcements summoned by the alarm talisman would capture Shang Lu in the first place!
Although officials in Baizhi County would also suffer the consequences if military funds were stolen, someone would be able to take the biggest blame if Shanglu was controlled.
Shang Lu looked at Zhuang Fan, smiling but not smiling, and there seemed to be two flames flickering in his eyes.
"Marquis Zhuang, is this what you meant? Or did someone else suggest that you make such a suggestion to me?"
Zhuang Fan was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Shang Lu asked this.
But there was something magical in Shang Lu's words that made him involuntarily tell the truth - with Zhuang Fan's strength, he could not resist Shang Lu's eloquence and sophistry.
"It was the clerk Tang Feng who reminded me."
Zhuang Fan answered subconsciously and then quickly added, "I think so too."
Shang Lu smiled. His [Seeing Through Like Fire] ability allowed him to observe Zhuang Fan very carefully, and he did not see any signs of lying.
Either Zhuang Fan was extremely secretive and Shang Lu couldn't tell whether he was lying or not.
Or maybe he is not a ghost.
Shang Lu felt that the second possibility was more likely.
With Zhuang Fan's cultivation level, it is impossible to deceive his [Seeing Through Fire].
"We should sound the alarm and have someone come over to testify for us."
Shang Lu planned to take advantage of the situation.
As his mind moved, the alarm talisman flew out from the Impermanence Order.
Shang Lu injected his essence into the talisman, and the witch spell on the talisman immediately burst into bloody light. Then, with a "whoosh" sound, it shot straight into the sky, exploding a large area of witch energy fluctuations that spread to the surroundings.
This fluctuation of witchcraft energy not only creates a sharp whistle in people's ears, but also can be used through corresponding witchcraft tools to lock onto its source and follow the sound to provide reinforcements.
Zhu Quan understood Shang Lu's meaning, but Zhuang Fan was confused: "Testify? Testify to what?"
Shang Lu did not answer his question, but quickly ordered: "Zhuang Junhou, take your men and quickly capture the clerk Tang Feng. Don't let him get away."
"Sima, what does this mean?"
Zhuang Fan was more and more stunned. He didn't understand why Tang Feng, who had given a kind reminder, was arrested as if he had committed a crime? And shouldn't the most urgent task be to eliminate the monsters in the camp? Why did he arrest his own people?
"With me here, paper soldiers and ink ghosts can't cause any trouble!"
Shang Lu raised his hand and pointed.
Zhu Quan, Zhuang Fan and others all subconsciously looked in the direction of his finger and were surprised to find that the paper soldiers and ink ghosts that appeared in the camp did not rush into the tents where the civilians were hiding.
Instead, in the camp, cages made of witchcraft appeared, imprisoning all the hideous-looking paper soldiers and ink ghosts.
These evil things struggled desperately in the witchcraft cage, but it was useless and they couldn't get out at all.
"Is this a witch formation?"
Not only Zhuang Fan, but Zhu Quan was also surprised. They didn't remember that Shang Lu had built a witch formation in the camp.
Zhu Quan thought of what Shang Lu had just said, and couldn't help but wonder, "Did Sima discover that there was a traitor in the team early on, and made all the arrangements in advance to lure the enemy into a trap?"
His eyes were suddenly filled with admiration, and he sighed: "As expected of Sima, he is as treacherous as ever, even hiding it from us."
"Did Sima prepare for this?" Zhuang Fan was not stupid. He quickly figured out the situation from Shang Lu's plan to capture Tang Feng, which was hidden from everyone. His expression changed slightly, and he no longer had any doubts. Instead, he immediately ordered the soldiers beside him, "Go and capture Tang Feng!"
After he finished speaking, Zhuang Fan changed his mind again: "No, I'll go get him myself!"
Shang Lu added at this time: "Except Tang Feng, anyone who is immobile in the camp will also be arrested!"
After hearing this, Zhuang Fanquan understood that what happened tonight was not just an "invasion by bandits" but also a "collaboration between inside and outside".
Shang Sima somehow saw through this matter and made adequate preparations in advance.
Zhuang Fan shuddered suddenly, and remembered Shang Lu's previous inquiry.
If he had answered incorrectly or lied, he would probably be among those arrested by now.
Zhuang Fan hurriedly tried to prove his innocence: "Sir Shang, I swear to the heavens and the earth that I didn't know about these things before..."
"Why did General Zhuang do this?"
Shang Lu waited until he finished his oath before he said, "I believe in General Zhuang, otherwise I wouldn't have let you take him away!"
Zhuang Fan knew that asking him to arrest someone was more or less a token of his allegiance.
But he did not refuse, nor could he refuse, and he even had to issue a military order: "Please rest assured, Sima, I will definitely arrest all the people involved! If anyone escapes, I will bring their heads to you!"
After saying this, Zhuang Fan was about to take his personal soldiers to arrest the person.
But at this moment, Du Feng, who led the team to guard the military supplies, rushed over in a hurry, his face full of panic.
Fortunately, he also understood the seriousness of the situation and did not shout from a distance. He only reported in a trembling voice when he ran close, "Sima, it's bad. The military supplies... all the military supplies are gone!"
"what?!"
Before Shang Lu could react, Zhu Quan was already shocked.
"How could the military supplies disappear? Didn't I ask you to bring people to guard them strictly?"
Zhuang Fan also stopped and looked over in shock.
If the military supplies were stolen, Shang Lu would definitely be finished, and he, as a military officer, would not be able to escape the responsibility and would be finished as well.
But he couldn't understand, Shang Lu had trapped the paper soldiers and ink ghosts with the witch formation, so how could the military supplies be taken away?
Who took it away?
What method was used to hide it from their eyes and move away so much military supplies?
Everyone looked at Shang Lu.
Although they were not sure whether Shang Lu had any solution to this situation.
But now, we can only place our hopes on Shang Lu.
Shang Lu remained calm.
In fact, before Du Feng arrived, he knew about the "theft" of military supplies.
He hid not only paper figures but also grass spirits on the boxes containing military supplies. They sent messages as soon as possible and informed Shang Lu of the details.
"General Zhuang, go and get the person quickly." Shang Lu waved his hand, signaling Zhuang Fan to do what he should do and not waste time here.
Then he said to Zhu Quan, Du Feng and others: "Why are you panicking? The military supplies are still in the camp. If you panic, others will take advantage of you. Go and surround the tents where the civilians live."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Quan and Du Feng immediately sent all the county soldiers who were originally guarding the military supplies to surround the civilian tents.
Shang Lu also walked over, waved his hand and released a stream of energy, which lifted the curtains of the tents. He raised his hand and pointed at a few people, asking them to come out.
These people immediately looked panicked.
Seeing this scene, Zhu Quan, Du Feng and others who came from the thieves' yamen immediately realized that there was something strange about them.
Without even needing Shang Lu's orders, he pounced on him like a wolf or a tiger and dragged the man out of the tent.
These people wanted to shout, but before they could make a sound, they were hit hard on the mouth by the scabbard. Blood immediately gushed out, and then their mouths were blocked.
Shang Lu didn't waste any words with these people. He just waved his hand, and his energy turned into a strong wind, instantly tearing their clothes into pieces.
The naked civilians immediately revealed some strangeness in them.
There is a dark red bruise on each of their five internal organs, namely heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidney, which looks like a birthmark.
The current Shang Lu is no longer a rookie who has just entered the Witch Academy.
Being well-informed, he immediately recognized the origin of these bruises.
"A bunch of idiots."
Shang Lu snorted coldly and said sarcastically: "What benefits did the thieves promise you? To make you willing to be the center of the formation, and refine your five internal organs into five ghost spaces to support this five ghost transport formation? Humph, your five internal organs have been hollowed out. Even if you are promised great wealth, you will not be able to enjoy it!"
(There is more in the evening.)
