Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 99 Strange
One is the long whip in the hand of the stone statue. Next to the whip, there is a book. It must be the "proud skill" mentioned by the disciple of the ancient sect.

Shang Lu couldn't help but feel a little excited. He walked quickly forward and went to get the book first.

But as soon as his hand touched the book, an accident happened.

The place on the book that was touched by Shanglu actually crumbled into powder.

Shit! Shang Lu was startled and quickly pulled his hand back.

At the same time, he was thankful that what he had just touched was only the edge of the book.

Otherwise, the whole book would probably turn into powder and be completely ruined.

Shang Lu frowned, wondering why things turned out like this.

Is it because the book has been around for too long, causing it to decay? It looks intact, but it will fall apart if touched?
Then how can he learn the knowledge in this book?

Shang Lu was having a headache when he suddenly caught a glimpse of the incense sticks still burning in front of the stone statue.

The flickering firelight gave him inspiration and gave him an idea instantly.

Shang Lu took out a fire starter, opened the lid and blew on it, waiting for the dark fire to rekindle. He moved closer to the rotten book and lit it.

Soon, the entire book was burned to ashes.

Shang Lu put away the fire starter and turned to look at Sanniang.

A book really appeared in Sanniang's hand, exactly the same as the one that had just been burned.

There is even a gap in the lower right corner of the book.

It was exactly the place where Shanglu had damaged it just now.

Fortunately, the damage did not affect the text recorded in the book.

Although Shang Lu cannot touch the book, it doesn’t matter, Sanniang can help him open it.

To have a beautiful woman by your side is something many scholars dream of.

However, when he walked closer and saw the words on the book cover, Shang Lu was dumbfounded.

These characters are not the ones used by the country of Ba.

There were three characters on the cover of the book, and Shang Lu could only barely recognize the first character, "百".

I have no idea what the other two words mean.

When Sanniang opened the book, Shang Lu was even more confused.

He didn't recognize most of the words in the book.

Occasionally I recognize some of them, but I'm not sure if their meaning has changed.

Shang Lu didn't dare to guess randomly. If he guessed wrong and practiced blindly, he would probably go astray and kill himself.

"The only way is to get out of the secret realm and find someone who is familiar with ancient characters to help translate..." Shang Lu thought.

If the secret realm is related to ancient sects or ancient relics, then there will definitely be a lot of people who are proficient in ancient characters.

Maybe in the witch academy, there will be special teaching on this subject.

After asking Sanniang to put the book away, Shang Lu tried to grab the whip again.

The whip was much stronger than the book. Shang Lu picked it up and shook it. Not only did it not turn into powder, but it also made a crisp "pa pa" sound.

It looks as powerful as ever.

Shang Lu was a little surprised and took the whip in his hand to look at it carefully.

The outer layer of this whip is wrapped with what looks like the leather of several kinds of animals, and the inside is a crystal clear thing that looks like tendon.

Shanglu couldn't tell what kind of animal's tendons and skin the whip was made of.

But it is definitely not simple, otherwise it would not have remained intact and strong until now.

"It seems I have to learn the whip-tying technique in the future."

Shang Lu thought about it and wanted to put the whip away, but after considering it, he wrapped it around his waist.

Shang Lu, who had gained benefits, was not in a hurry to leave.

He dug a pit on the spot, gathered the disintegrated fragments and powder of the stone statue, and buried them in the pit. This senior had taught him martial arts and weapons, so it was only right for him to help bury the statue.

After the burial was completed, Shang Lu lit a pair of candles and three incense sticks before leaving with Sanniang.

After turning left and right and walking about a hundred meters, Shanglu saw a huge karst column in front of him.

This karst column hangs down from the top of the cave, like a sharp sword inserted here, blocking most of the road.

Shang Lu estimated that it would take several people holding hands to hug this molten column.

In addition to its size, there is also a carving on this karst column.

The carving in the painting is a strange-looking animal:

Its body is like a snake, but its head is a tiger with horns, and its four hooves are like those of an ox or a horse...

It's a completely weird animal that looks like nothing.

Under the feet of this strange creature, there was something that was either fire or auspicious clouds.

What surprised Shang Lu was that when he was looking at the pillars and carvings, the four-legged creature in the painting actually turned its eyes and looked at him.

This carving can actually move?

Shang Lu suddenly felt something was wrong and hurriedly used the monkey walking technique to hide behind a rock.

But at this moment, a voice sounded in his mind:
"You little bug, why don't you stay in the animal pen? Where are you going? This is not a place for you to run around or wander around."

insect?

Does this weird, weird animal think I'm a bug kept in the zoo?
Shang Lu thought to himself that this weird creature might be shortsighted and couldn't even tell the difference between a human and an insect?

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Shang Lu felt a force enveloping him.

Then, his body began to change.

The things around him suddenly became bigger, and he went from being on the ground to being in mid-air, falling rapidly.

It was also at this time that Shang Lu discovered that he had actually turned into a worm!

A fat white worm that looks like a silkworm and a maggot.

Damn it! Shang Lu was shocked.

What kind of magic is this? It can actually turn people into maggots? !
Even the animal-creating technique that I had heard the old officials mention before was not as powerful as this!

Is this the horror and weirdness of the secret realm?
The horrified Shang Lu was eager to turn himself back into human form.

But he didn't know how to break the spell and change back.

He was about to ask Sanniang for help, but the monster in the carving on the pillar saw the clothes and whip that fell off after he turned into a maggot.

The Sibuxiang was not interested in the clothes, but the whip caught its attention.

"Chu Yun's beast whip? It turns out that you are not a little bug raised in the beast pen, but a disciple of my sect, a new disciple of Junior Brother Chu."

As this voice sounded in Shang Lu's mind, his body changed again, from a maggot back to a human form.

Shang Lu, who had regained his human form, was breathing heavily, his clothes soaked with sweat.

After he changed back into human form, the clothes slipped onto his body on their own.

This also made him a little confused. He was not sure whether what had just happened was an illusion or reality?

At the same time, Shang Lu was also very grateful that he had burned incense and candles for Chu Yun, which allowed him to obtain the beast whip.

Otherwise, no matter whether it was an illusion or not, I would probably still be a maggot at this moment and it would be difficult for me to turn over.

Although the creature in the carving could transmit sounds directly into Shang Lu's mind, it could not tell what he was thinking.

At this moment, it was in Shang Lu's mind, sighing to itself:

"I haven't seen any new disciples in many years. I didn't expect that three of them would appear one after another recently..."

These words instantly brought Shang Lu back to his senses.

Three new disciples?
One is me, who are the other two?
