Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 185 The Demon Comes Late at Night
There was no moon that night, and the sky and the earth were pitch black.

In the large bunk bed, several oil lamps emitted a dim light.

Shang Lu lay on a bunk bed covered with a bamboo mat, pretending to be asleep.

In fact, he was not sleeping at all, but eavesdropping on the movements around him.

As he entered the minor stage of marrow cleansing, Shang Lu's extraordinary hearing was further improved.

He heard the grinding of teeth and mumbling of the postmaster and postmen who were fast asleep in the post station.

I could also hear the sounds of insects and mice in the soil and the chirping of birds in the trees.

These sounds were extremely clear, as if they formed a series of pictures in front of Shang Lu's eyes, allowing him to grasp the situation inside and outside the post station clearly based on the sounds alone.

Suddenly, Shang Lu heard some unusual movements from the dogs in the post station.

These dogs were patrolling in the night and seemed to have discovered something. They suddenly stopped and made a slight "woop" warning sound in their throats.

However, before the dogs could bark, their mouths were blocked and they could not make any sound.

At the same time, the inn became completely silent.

Shang Lu could only hear the snoring of several county soldiers who were sleeping in the big bunk bed.

All other sounds in the post station could no longer be heard.

It was as if something was covering the inn, blocking out the sound.

This situation did not happen last night. Shang Lu immediately concluded that the target they were waiting for had arrived.

As soon as Shang Lu opened his eyes, he saw Feng Boyuan and Jiang Wuguan not far away, who also opened their eyes.

They also noticed it.

Feng Boyuan and Witch Officer Jiang were somewhat surprised. They obviously had not expected that Shang Lu could be so sharp and not worse than them.

The three of them communicated quickly with their eyes and lips.

"People are coming!"

"Should we wake everyone up?"

"No, if so many people suddenly wake up, it might make some noise and arouse suspicion."

"So what if we are suspicious? Aren't we just going to arrest him directly?"

"Wait a minute, something is wrong. I don't smell any human scent."

Shang Lu also felt that something was wrong.

It was obvious that someone was coming outside the house, but he could not hear any heartbeat or breathing. He didn't know if it was covered up or if there was no one coming at all.

After a silent discussion, the three of them made a decision: don't rush into it, and wait and see what happens.

They made preparations secretly, waiting for the "person" outside to come in.

Shang Lu placed his right hand on the whip at his waist, and his left hand was retracted into his sleeve, holding an iron spike. He seemed to be sleeping soundly, but he was actually ready to take action at any time.

Feng Boyuan and Jiang Wuguan were also secretly building up their strength.

Soon Shang Lu and the other two discovered that the tightly closed door of the big bunk bed was motionless, but two things quietly came in through the gap in the window on the side.

It's two skins.

Two pieces of human skin as thin as paper!
Like a snake, it slipped through the window gap and fell to the ground.

Under the light of the oil lamp, the two strange human skins seemed to be blown up and expanded rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, they became two people.

One boy, one girl, and two children.

Boys wear green shrouds and girls wear red.

The skin of the two boys was as pale as white porcelain, and there was an eye outlined in blood on their foreheads, which looked weird and strange.

On both sides of their cheeks, there were two red spots smeared with blood, but this not only did not add vitality to them, but made them look even more evil and terrifying.

Feng Nan, who was on duty at night, had his back to the window. Suddenly, he saw two strange shadows appear in the room. He turned around in horror, drew his sword and shouted:

"who?!"

This loud shout woke up everyone in the big bunk bed.

For a moment, the county soldiers drew their swords and jumped up from their beds, and the scene was a little chaotic.

Fortunately, despite the sudden change, the county soldiers kept their mission in mind and did not expose their identities.

"Jie Jie Jie Jie..."

"Hehehe..." The two human skin-skinned boys made different sneers. The voices were sharp and weird, making people feel creepy.

They spoke at the same time, the male and female voices intertwined, revealing an increasingly evil tone.

"With your level of vigilance, if we really encounter an enemy, I'm afraid you won't even notice if we kill you all."

Then, they took the lead in speaking the secret language of connection: "Where do you want to go?"

"I'm visiting Kang Hui in Youdu." Feng Nan responded, raising his hand.

It looked like he was giving orders to everyone, telling them not to be nervous.

In fact, it was a hint to everyone to be ready and wait for the order to arrest people.

Then Feng Nan also said the secret message: "Where are you from?"

The two human skin boys said in unison again: "Old people from Toad Palace."

According to the original plan, Shang Lu and his team should have captured the person who came to make the contact at this time.

But now, the people who came to meet him were not living people, but two human skin-skinned boys.

They are obviously driven puppets!
There is no value in capturing the puppet, and it would alert the enemy, so Shang Lu and the other two did not act in a hurry. Instead, they quietly gave Feng Nan a signal and asked him to implement the backup plan.

Shang Lu and his companions had started a discussion on the way to Lingjie Town. They believed that the Chu State's secret agents were not only cunning, but also proficient in the art of controlling corpses. They would most likely not come in person to make contact, but would send zombies or something like that to transport corpses.

So, they also prepared a backup plan.

Although the current situation is somewhat different from what they expected, the backup plan is still applicable.

Feng Nan received the signal, suppressed his anxiety, and continued to play the role of the manager. After a snort, he tried to ask, "Why didn't you come yesterday?"

The two human skin boys were very arrogant. They stared at Feng Nan and scolded him, "Don't ask about things you shouldn't ask about!"

Their eye sockets are empty, with neither white nor black pupils, but they can see things, which is really strange.

"Where is Ba Du?" asked the boy in human skin, his eyes scanning Shang Lu, Feng Boyuan and several clay figurines.

In the current situation, I don’t know where the contact person is hiding, so I can only take the risk and continue to be the bait.

As Feng Nan waved his hand, Shang Lu, Feng Boyuan, Jiang Wuguan and Tu Bin immediately stood up with expressionless faces.

The two human skin-dressing boys looked them up and down.

Under the influence of witchcraft, the four people not only lost their vitality, but also their heartbeat, pulse, breathing and other characteristics of living people were also covered up, and a smell of corpse was created.

Although the two human skin-skinned boys looked strange, no flaws could be found in them.

They waved their hands, and a bone-chilling cold wind immediately blew up, blowing open the door of the large bunk bed.

In the yard outside the door, the mules and horses pulling the cart lay on the ground, motionless, and it was unknown whether they were dead or alive.

In the darkness, four bamboo-bound and paper-pasted sedan chairs descended from the sky, riding on the gloomy wind.

When they landed, everyone saw that there were people standing in front and behind each bamboo and paper sedan.

It is a paper figure with a pale face, bloodshot cheeks and stiff movements.

"Get in the sedan."

Two human skin-dressing boys waved at Shang Lu and his three companions.

A gust of cold wind appeared out of nowhere and wrapped around the four people like a poisonous snake. It was slippery and evil, and dragged them towards the bamboo and paper sedan chair.

With the strength of Shang Lu and his men, it would not be difficult to offset this evil wind, but they did not do so. Instead, they pretended to be confused like a zombie and were pushed towards the sedan chair by the evil wind.

The county soldiers in the large bunk bed secretly thought that something was wrong.

The sedan chair made of bamboo and paper was obviously not for living people. Although the county lieutenant and the witch officer successfully deceived the human-skin boy with witchcraft, they were not really dead after all.

How could they sit in that bamboo-paper sedan? Wouldn't it collapse if they sat on it?

Although the county soldiers did not say anything, they were secretly prepared and would take action immediately if the situation was not right.

Unexpectedly, the two human skin-skin boys were extremely sensitive to murderous intent and noticed it immediately.

Two streams of scarlet blood flowed from their dark eye sockets.

The group of paper figures in the yard also raised their heads at this moment and stared at everyone with cold eyes.

"What are you going to do?"

The two skin-skinned boys asked in unison.

Feng Nan had no doubt that if the answer given did not satisfy the two human-skin boys, they would immediately kill people.
