Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 75: Catching the Real Murderer (Please Collect and Read)

The corpse driver's movements were sudden and even a little covert.

But Shang Lu kept staring at him.

As soon as he made a move, Shang Lu reacted and kicked the corpse driver's hand.

Driven by the blood, the snake scales hidden on the snake-skin shoes instantly stood up, like a sharp blade, directly cutting off the corpse driver's hand.

"what--"

The corpse driver let out a shrill scream, blood splattered from his wrist, and his severed hand fell to the ground with a "pa".

Although this corpse driver has some uncanny skills, he is clearly not as good as Shang Lu in close combat.

At the same time, Shang Lu also used the chaotic cloak sword technique.

The oxtail knife brought up a flash of light, but it did not kill the corpse driver. Instead, it blocked several white lights that flew out of his hand and knocked them to the ground.

But they were a few hand-torn paper figures covered with spells and blood.

After these paper figures fell to the ground, they got up and continued to attack Shang Lu and Captain Niu.

Seeing this, Shang Lu stepped forward and crushed the paper figures.

As a result, these paper people drilled out from the gaps under his feet and stabbed his feet fiercely.

Fortunately, Shang Lu was wearing snakeskin shoes, otherwise, he would have been hurt by these paper figures.

Don't be fooled by their thinness, but it is this thinness that makes them extremely sharp.

At this moment, Captain Niu's expression changed drastically.

If he was caught off guard and ambushed by these weird things, he would have to pay a heavy price even if he had reached the Tongmai realm.

Captain Niu was a little scared, but also a little relieved. Fortunately, Shang Lu saw through the true background of this "kid", otherwise he would have been caught and become the hostage of the corpse driver.

Fearing that the corpse driver had some more strange tricks up his sleeve, Captain Niu quickly drew his knife and stabbed the corpse driver twice before putting the knife on his neck and ordering him to stop using those evil techniques or he would chop off his head.

But the corpse driver also realized at this moment that this group of officers wanted to capture people alive and ignored the threats from the Niu Butou.

Seeing that threats were useless, Captain Niu immediately shouted to the officers and militiamen, "Don't just stand there, bring your weapons and attack him!"

The police and militiamen rushed forward and used specially treated iron hooks to pierce the corpse driver's scapula, qihai and other parts of his body.

Not only can these torture instruments make it impossible for the corpse driver to move, they can also destroy his cultivation and sorcery. At this moment, the several paper figures controlled by him really stopped moving.

The corpse driver seemed to accept his fate and did not struggle, allowing the officers to torture him.

She didn't even scream in pain, but just stared at Shang Lu with a resentful look.

If looks could kill, Shang Lu would probably have been stabbed to pieces by his gaze.

"Brother Shang, how did you see through him?"

At this moment, Captain Niu finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked Shang Lu in a low voice.

“I have interrogated several rat demons before, and they told me that the corpse driver looks tall, but it is actually a disguise and his real body is very short.

He had killed someone in a funeral home before, and he was ruthless and decisive, leaving no one alive. How could he have captured a hostage, and what a coincidence, it happened to be a child?
In addition, the witch's soul-chasing birds have not left, and have been circling and shouting in the sky. They have been following the corpse driver's scent all the way. If they don't leave, it means that the dead people are not the corpse driver, but just puppets driven and controlled by him.

So I tried to cheat boldly, and it turned out to be successful..."

In fact, there is another important reason that Shanglu did not mention.

With the blessing of the Liver God, he saw a strange black and red aura on the body of the corpse driver who pretended to be a child.

Although there is also a similar strange aura in the corpses controlled by the corpse driver.

But the strange aura on the corpse was more like the strings on a puppet, mainly entangled in several joints. Moreover, these "strings", one by one, were all released from the corpse driver's body.

These strange auras made the corpse driver completely defenseless in Shang Lu's eyes.

No matter how brilliant his acting skills are, he can't fool Shang Lu.

If he wasn't afraid of accidents, and if Captain Niu was not in a hurry to pick up the corpse driver, Shang Lu really wanted to see what tricks he could perform.

Captain Niu suddenly realized what was going on, but he still said with lingering fear: "Brother Shang, this time it's really thanks to you, otherwise, I would have been in trouble."

He was truly grateful to Shang Lu.

This time, Shang Lu's kindness to him could be considered as saving his life.

"Brother Niu, you are just too kindhearted. You can't bear to see a child suffer, so you were taken advantage of and deceived by him. Otherwise, with your strength, how could you not see the problem?"

Shang Lu gave Captain Niu a way out.

Captain Niu was grateful and patted Shang Lu hard, indicating that he would remember all the kindness.

Immediately afterwards, Captain Niu kicked the corpse driver whose scapula was hooked and whose Qihai point was pierced.

"Brother Shang, you caught the man, can you take him back to the government office?"

Captain Niu wanted Shang Lu to send the person back so that he could report his achievement to the county magistrate and the chief clerk.

But Shang Lu had no interest in this.

He was the one who caught the corpse driver, and no one could take away the credit. Instead of wasting time on this trip, he might as well walk around the city.

Maybe we can catch and kill one or two more evil monsters and find some good stuff.

"Brother Niu, please go ahead and take me to continue patrolling the city to see if there are any more evil spirits causing trouble so that we can put them down as soon as possible."

"Okay, I'll take him back to the government office and hand him over to the jailers to torture him."

Captain Niu agreed without hesitation and immediately took a few officers and escorted the blood-covered corpse driver back to the yamen.

Shang Lu picked up the strange paper figures, looked at them, and put them in his pocket.

Although he doesn’t know how to control paper figures for the time being, he can keep these things for now. If he can learn a few tricks in the future, they will come in handy.

Immediately afterwards, Shang Lu arranged people to put out the fire and sent someone to call the nearby fire brigade.

The fire squad is responsible for fire prevention and fire extinguishing, and has more experience than Shang Lu and his team.

Even so, when the fire brigade arrived, they were unable to put out the fire immediately. They could only prevent the fire from spreading to the surrounding areas and then find a way to put it out.

Professional matters should be left to professionals. Shang Lu did not stay here to give orders blindly. He took the servants with him and went to patrol elsewhere.

That night, perhaps because they saw evil spirits causing trouble and thought they had an opportunity, many thieves came out and took advantage of the chaos to steal and rob.

Shang Lu and his companions did not encounter any monsters or ghosts along the way, but they did capture several bandits.

The demons and ghosts were not stupid. When they saw that all the police officers and militiamen from Luoshui County were mobilized and even the shamans were patrolling and performing rituals in the city, they all went into the dark and hid.

The demons and ghosts who came to the county to gather information were still a little weak. The truly powerful ones went directly to Yunhua Mountain.

Fortunately, otherwise the chaos tonight would have been even bigger.

As dawn approached, Shang Lu received news that the fire in the house where the corpse driver had been hiding had finally been put out.

He rushed over immediately to see if he could find some good stuff from the ruins of the fire.
