Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 62: Du Feng is Possessed (Please collect and read)

"Sanniang, what's going on?"

Shang Lu held a knife in his hand and strode to the side of his young wife, protecting her behind him. He squinted at the paper doll hanging on the tree with curiosity mixed with murderous intent.

In other words, Sanniang seemed to be fine, otherwise Shanglu would have gone berserk and rushed over to tear the paper doll apart!

"It had bad intentions and sneaked into our house in the middle of the night and was caught by Uncle Huai." Sanniang said.

Uncle Huai?

Shang Lu raised his head and looked at the big tree that caught the paper doll, thinking to himself, this turns out to be an old locust tree?
He really couldn't tell the species of trees, he could only recognize willows.

The locust tree noticed that Shang Lu was looking at him, and shook its branches as if to greet him.

Is it so spiritual? Shang Lu was startled and quickly bowed in return.

It seems that even if this locust tree has not become a spirit, it is not far from becoming a spirit.

This house is called a haunted house by people in the county. Could it be related to this locust tree?

But why didn't it show these supernatural powers before?
Was it because my cultivation was not good enough that I didn't notice its abnormality? Or was there some other reason?
Unlike Shang Lu, Sanniang was in a bad mood at the moment.

Because she felt that this uninvited paper doll disturbed Shang Lu's practice.

For Sanniang, who wanted her husband to become successful, this was an unforgivable thing.

She raised her small, white hand and pointed at the paper doll from a distance.

Branches immediately shot out from the old locust tree and lashed at the paper dolls like whips, causing crackling sounds.

Shang Lu looked at it in amazement.

This paper doll may look thin and fragile, but it is actually very strong.

The branches as thick as copper coins were whipped so hard that even stones could be broken, but when they were whipped on the paper doll, they couldn't even break the paper shell that covered it.

It seemed as if this paper doll was not made of paper, but was made of copper and iron, and was indestructible.

In Shanglu's temple of the five internal organs, wisps of green smoke suddenly rose up in front of the statue of the liver god.

The green smoke flowed into Shang Lu's eyes, allowing him to clearly see that the paper doll was shrouded in a layer of faint black air.

These black gases look like words, but they are different from the words commonly used in the country of Ba. They are crooked, obscure and strange, and no one knows what they mean.

It was this layer of black air in the shape of text that made the paper doll as hard as a rock, blocking the beating of the branches.

A sneer appeared on the weird face of the paper puppet, and it sneered, "It's useless. All these tricks of yours are just tickling me!"

Although it was tied up and unable to move, the ten fingers on its hands suddenly grew longer, like thin and sharp daggers, cutting into the vines and branches that were entangled around it.

A large piece was cut off with a swish.

Shang Lu raised his eyebrows when he saw this, and was about to draw his sword to attack, but he saw Sanniang wave her hand again.

Green rays of light immediately appeared on the vines and branches.

The power of these green lights was far greater than that of the black air. The paper doll's ten fingers could no longer cut the vines and branches. Not only that, the black air that was previously indestructible was also beaten to pieces.

"Ah - how could you break my spell? Who are you?"

The paper doll let out shrill screams and questions.

But Sanniang ignored it and just let the vines and branches continue to whip it.

The black energy on the paper doll was quickly beaten away and disappeared.

Without the protection of the black air, the paper doll could no longer withstand the beating of the tree branches. The paper covering it was torn into pieces in an instant, and the bamboo binding it was broken.

Shang Lu also understood it at this moment.

The black energy on the paper doll should be some kind of magic.

I don't know whether the blood and energy he has cultivated can be as useful as Sanniang's green light when encountering things like ghost energy, magic, and demonic power?
Although Shanglu had fought with a strange snake in the secret realm before.

But that thing, although strange, has limited power, and no ghost or demonic power is seen on it, so it does not have much reference value. Seeing that the paper doll was about to be completely broken apart by Sanniang's beating, Shang Lu hurriedly stopped it:

"Don't kill it. I still need to interrogate it. What did it do in our house in the middle of the night?"

Upon hearing this, Sanniang waved her little hand again, and the branches that were hitting the paper doll immediately stopped.

But at this moment, a flame burst out from the paper doll.

The flames instantly spread to the entire body of the paper doll, causing it to quickly burn to ashes amidst its painful howls.

The incident happened so suddenly that Shang Lu had no time to stop it.

He was very surprised. This paper doll would rather burn itself to death than be captured. Are all demons and ghosts so courageous?

Sanniang explained in a low voice behind him: "The person who cast the spell was afraid that we would track him down, so he forcibly destroyed the paper doll."

So that's how it is, Shang Lu nodded.

Then I heard Sanniang say, "The person who cast the spell is in the city, not too far away. He forcibly destroyed the paper doll, so the spell must have backfired, and he should have burn-like wounds on his body."

Hearing this, Shang Lu no longer hesitated and went out to catch the man with the oxtail knife in hand.

He wanted to see who was targeting him and why.

Shang Lu thought quickly in his mind: "The paper doll looks familiar, as if I have seen it in a funeral home before."

He made up his mind to go to the funeral home first.

Sanniang's body flashed and disappeared from the yard.

The next moment, the oil-paper umbrella she was under floated over and fell into Shang Lu's hands.

"You want to come with me?"

When Shang Lu saw the oil-paper umbrella nod slightly, he said okay and put it into the umbrella bag and put it on his back.

Sanniang understands more about strange and bizarre things than he does.

With Sanniang by my side, I can ask her for help and advice when I encounter strange people and things.

After Shang Lu walked out of the courtyard, the lanterns and candles in the yard went out, and everything returned to darkness.

Something was moving in the darkness, gathering and burying the ashes of the burnt paper doll.

The yard soon became clean and spotless again, as if waiting for a new unlucky person to break in.

After Shang Lu walked out of the door, he ran straight towards the funeral home and met a night watchman on the way.

Shang Lu stopped the man and examined him carefully, but did not find any burn-like wounds, so he asked him further questions.

But the night watchman said that he did not hear any unusual noises nearby, nor did he see anyone acting suspiciously.

Just then, several people holding lanterns came running hurriedly from a distance.

Seeing the situation here, especially seeing the captain's uniform on Shang Lu, they shouted: "Captain Shang! Is it Captain Shang?"

Shang Lu looked over when he heard the voices and discovered that the people who came were all members of the police squad, who had attended his promotion banquet tonight.

"Wei Hao."

Shang Lu called out the name of the leading officer.

"What's the matter, you're in such a hurry?"

He thought that these guys from the police squad were patrolling nearby and heard something. Just as he was about to ask them in detail, he heard Wei Hao gasping for breath and saying:
"Captain Shang, something has happened. Old Du has been possessed by an evil spirit!"

"What did you say?"

Shang Lu was shocked when he heard this: "How could Du Feng be possessed by evil spirits? Did you ask for a witch to perform a ritual?"
