Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 396: Welfare? Suffering?
After some questioning, Shang Lu discovered that the three-headed monster baby knew little about the identity of the "immortal master", and there was no direct evidence pointing to the Huangting School.

"Quite cautious." Shang Lu snorted coldly, and at the same time became more and more certain of his guess - in the eyes of the Huangting Sect, the group of people swarming in Qiangjiang are just their running dogs.

Not only can it hurt people, but it can also kill and eat their meat.

As for lackeys, of course, there is no need for them to know too many secrets, otherwise it would be difficult to abandon them.

But it doesn't matter. Judging from the time, the yes-man should have spread the news that the Huangting Sect tricked people into feeding snakes.

As long as an investigation is launched, all the things done by the Huangting Sect will be discovered no matter how deeply they are hidden.

Wizards have all kinds of strange, dangerous and powerful methods!

Seeing that Shang Lu did not ask any new questions, the heads on both sides of the three-headed monster baby hurriedly began to beg for mercy:
"My lord, my lord. I have told you everything I know. Please let me live! If you feel too angry to calm down, you can cut off their heads..."

"Fuck you, you are so cruel! Sir, don't be fooled by his pitiful appearance, it's all fake. If you let him go, he will definitely go back and inform the 'Immortal Master' and lead the 'Immortal Master' to kill you! Cut off their two heads and let me go. I swear to God, I will never take revenge on you!"

Seeing the two heads quarreling, both wanting Shang Lu to cut off the other, Zhu Quan couldn't help but exclaim in amazement: "Aren't they one body? Why are they eager for the other to be beheaded?"

Shang Lu didn't find it strange. He sneered and said, "Three heads grow on one body, and they all want to control this body. They are unwilling to give in. Naturally, they want to get rid of the other two heads so that they can enjoy the body alone. Let's put it this way, even if we are not here, these three heads will most likely fight each other, and only one will be left in the end."

"hiss."

Zhu Quan took a deep breath and thought that this weird thing was really strange and vicious.

The three-headed monster baby was not satisfied with just cursing and soon started biting the heads on both sides.

But there was a head between them, so when they were biting and fighting, the head in the middle suffered and was badly affected.

Most of the time, it is the head that gets bitten.

Shang Lu didn't waste time watching the three monster babies biting each other's heads, and shouted: "That's it."

When the two heads on the left and right stopped and looked at him, he turned around and pulled out his sword from the waist of a thief.

"Since you want me to help you cut off the other two heads, I will help you!"

When the two heads heard this, they thought Shanglu wanted to help it, and they were immediately delighted and said in unison:

"Yes, yes, cut off the other two heads!"

"My Lord is going to cut off your head, you idiot, why are you still laughing?"

The two heads started quarreling again, but this time, Shang Lu did not stop them. He walked forward and cut off the two heads one by one, cleanly and neatly.

The head in the middle had been bitten to pieces, but it was not dead yet.

Seeing this scene, it let out a strange, leaky laugh and squeaked at the same time.

But because its cheeks and tongue were bitten off, no one could hear what it was saying.

But Shang Lu could guess that this guy was simply mocking the stupidity of his left and right heads and cursing and swearing at him.

So Shang Lu didn't hesitate and cut off the middle head with his knife.

After that, he did not forget to stab the headless baby with another knife, crushing all its internal organs.

After doing all this, Shang Lu returned the knife to Qiu Dao and ordered them to set fire to the body of the three-headed monster baby.

The body of the three-headed monster baby contains a strange spiritual energy. If it is abandoned in the wilderness and eaten by wild beasts or demons, it may cause a disaster. It must be handled properly.

The best way is to cremate it. Even using corpse-dissolving powder will leave behind a strange spiritual energy.

"Yes!"

Qiu Dao accepted the order and immediately called a few of his companions to search for firewood nearby.

Shang Lu told Zhu Quan: "Brothers, don't even think about the bounty offered by the Qiang River. I'll get some money and make it up to you all after I get back."

Zhu Quan said quickly, "What are you saying, sir? Since we have been following you, have we not made enough contributions and received enough rewards? How can we let you pay for our rewards out of your own pocket? You must not say such polite words!"

He had been in the thieves' office for many years, how could he not hear that there was something strange about the "immortal master" behind the Qiangjiang Yiwofeng? If he really wanted to claim the reward for the Qiangjiang Yiwofeng incident, wouldn't he be targeted by the "immortal master"? Would he be able to take the reward money but not spend it?

Therefore, Zhu Quan knew very well that Shang Lu did not let them think about the reward because it was for their own good. He immediately cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, sir. I will tell the brothers to keep their mouths shut and not tell anyone what happened today."

Shang Lu neither agreed nor objected, and looked noncommittal.

Upon seeing this, Zhu Quan immediately went to ask the thieves for instructions.

Seeing this scene, Shang Lu nodded secretly and muttered: "It's good to have a smart and sensible subordinate. No wonder the emperor likes jesters."

Retracting his gaze, Shang Lu gently patted the oil-paper umbrella and asked in a low voice: "Sanniang, have you received the soul of this monster?"

"received."

Sanniang's voice rang in Shang Lu's ears: "Its three souls have been cursing you and scolding your parents. I am refining them with the tube flag."

"Practice them hard, and make them not know what is good for them!"

Shang Lu Lian praised Sanniang for her good work, and after finishing, he ordered: "Don't forget to refine the souls of other thieves. See if you can find evidence from their remaining memories that the Huangting Sect used people to test their evil skills and refine people to make pills!"

Although these evidences may not necessarily come in handy at the time, it is definitely better to have them than not.

Sanniang said "OK" and stopped talking. Shang Lu knew that she was going to use all her strength to drive the banners to deal with the newly captured ghosts.

Shang Lu put away the "unlistenable" bronze bell and guarded the corpse of the three-headed monster baby until the thieves found firewood, piled it on top, sprinkled it with special medicine powder and set it on fire.

Shang Lu finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the raging fire, like a giant mouth of a fire demon, completely devouring the bodies of the three-headed monster babies.

He had originally intended to practice Dragon-Tiger Power and activate the Secret Meaning of the Alchemy Classic to completely absorb the medicinal properties of the Three Corpses Health-Nourishing Pill he had swallowed in the previous battle, in order to make up for the consumption and improve his cultivation at the same time. However, he suddenly remembered the matter of opening the altar to communicate with the gods.

"What time is it now?"

Shang Lu hurriedly asked Sanniang in a low voice.

"One quarter past one in the morning."

Although Sanniang was busy teaching the group of newly captured ghosts a lesson, she still found time to answer Shang Lu.

"Fortunately, I didn't miss the time."

The souls on the soul altar are very happy today. Under such circumstances, the effect of offering sacrifices to the gods is far greater than usual, and can make the gods happy.

Shang Lu doesn't want to miss such an opportunity.

After all, the Soul Altar has a big appetite, and the consumption of making its soul happy once is not low. By tomorrow, maybe the Soul Altar will return to peace.

Although there were only three quarters of an hour left before the end of the Chou hour, Shang Lu only needed to burn incense and light candles to express his gratitude to Tu Bo, which should be enough.

Shang Lu immediately called Zhu Quan to his side and said, "Old Zhu, I leave this to you. I'll be away for a while and will be back in three quarters of an hour at most."

Zhu Quan bowed in response without asking Shang Lu what he was going to do. Tu Pi wanted to follow Shang Lu, but was stopped by Du Feng.

"At this time, the master must be going to offer sacrifices to the gods. If you follow him, you will be finished if the gods take you as a sacrifice."

Tu Xiong quickly spat, "Pooh, pooh, pooh, can you please say something nice?"

But he was really scared and didn't dare to follow Shang Lu anymore.

Shang Lu used the Nine Transformations Technique to increase his speed to the fastest to save time.

In a flash, he ran several miles away.

The soul altar, when the soul is in a state of great joy, can minimize the crazy influence brought by the gods.

Therefore, a distance of several miles is enough and will not affect the gang of thieves in Cao's office.

Shang Lu took out a palm-sized soul-sacrificing altar and chanted the spell according to the method taught by the rotten corpse who sold the treasure.

Amid the chanting of incantations, a faint light emerged from the soul-altar, which squirmed and grew larger. Soon it became the size of a normal altar, emitting waves of awe-inspiring majesty.

Upon seeing this, Shang Lu activated the Tubo Divine Seal on the back of his hand.

A ball of black gas surged out from the divine seal, coiled around the soul sacrificial platform, and transformed into the appearance of the Nine-Curved Yellow Springs Road.

A feeling immediately arose in Shang Lu's heart, as if someone was staring at him, bringing him great pressure.

Shang Lu was not frightened, nor did he waste time. He immediately burned incense and lit candles and inserted them into the incense burner that came with the soul-sacrificing altar.

Then he bowed to the black gas swirling on the stage, muttering: "Disciple Shang Lu, I am grateful to the God for saving me. I offer incense to express my gratitude!"

As soon as Shang Lu finished speaking, the incense and candles on the soul altar burned out at an extremely fast speed.

Shang Lu knew that this meant that Tu Bo had accepted his incense offerings.

He was about to say something else, but suddenly he saw the black gas surging above the soul altar changed into a picture scroll.

"what?"

Shang Lu was slightly stunned and recognized the place in the scroll. It was the Fairy Market where he had been before.

However, the fairy market in the scroll has changed a lot compared to before.

The Nine-Bend Yellow Spring Road, representing the underworld, appeared in the sky above the Fairy Market, devouring that world.

The dark clouds and thunder transformed from the evil spirit were desperately resisting.

The entire Fairy Market was shaking due to the collision and confrontation of two powerful forces, as if it was the end of the world.

"This is the Fairy Market. What's the situation now?"

Shang Lu looked at it for a moment and guessed that this was Tu Bo telling him that he had made a contribution on this trip, and was helping the underworld to "expand its territory" and hunt down wandering souls?
But soon, Shang Lu felt that things were not that simple.

Because he felt that Tu Bo and the secret realm, or the power behind the secret realm, were not on good terms.

Both sides wished the other side would disappear completely.

So, where do the secret realms in the world come from? What secrets are hidden behind them?
Are they blessings or sufferings for practitioners?
Shang Lu's heart was instantly filled with these questions and curiosity.

After a brief hesitation, he finally opened his mouth, trying to find an answer.
