Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 550: The ground veins are polluted?
The greedy beast brought Shang Lu and others to a cave.

The location of this cave is very remote, and it would be difficult to be noticed if it were not for the greedy beast.

From the outside of the cave, there was nothing unusual. The entrance was small, surrounded by bushes and weeds, and it looked like a place that was rarely visited by people.

There are countless caves like this in Xingshan, and they can be said to be very common.

If there was no Greedy Beast leading the way, Shang Lu and the others would not have noticed this cave even if they passed by nearby. Even if they saw it, they would not take it seriously, let alone waste time entering the cave to search.

Shang Lu waved his hand and released his vital energy, which lifted away the weeds and bushes that were blocking the entrance to the cave.

This action scared the birds and bats living in the cave, and they flew out in large numbers.

Shang Lu stuck his head out and took a look into the cave.

It was pitch black inside, winding and twisting, and it was impossible to tell how deep it was.

Retracting his gaze, Shang Lu turned his head and asked the Greedy Beast: "Is the treasure in the cave?"

The greedy beast rolled his eyes and snorted twice.

This time, Shang Lu guessed it without Sanniang's translation. The beast was probably saying: Believe it if you want, get out if you don't.

His temper is quite explosive.

Shang Lu didn't indulge it either, and snorted coldly: "If I don't find the treasure in this cave, you will be in trouble."

This time, the greedy beast did not snort again. Instead, it burst out laughing and ignored Shang Lu's threat.

Either it was unaware of Shanglu's methods, or it was extremely confident in its treasure-hunting abilities.

Shang Lu did not argue with the greedy beast. He released a wooden kite into the cave and found that it was deep and narrow. Most of the time, the cave could only accommodate two people standing side by side. Many places were so narrow that only one person could barely pass through.

Seeing this, Shang Lu arranged: "Brother Lu, Uncle Huai, you follow me in to explore, the rest of you stay outside the cave and wait for our news."

Where there are treasures, there are often dangers.

Either there are ferocious beasts or monsters guarding the treasure, or there are some unknown taboos.

If the tunnel is wide enough, Shang Lu doesn't mind bringing the county soldiers along to let them go along and gain some experience.

However, according to the images transmitted by the wooden kite, the tunnel was very narrow, and the county soldiers could not deploy or form a battle array after entering.

Once danger occurs, disaster is likely to occur.

So Shang Lu decided to leave the main force outside the cave and bring a few of the most powerful ones in.

Everyone nodded in response, but Du Feng and Tu Pi volunteered to go in together.

The two said, "We have some strength. Even if we can't help much, we can still help with some odd jobs."

Shang Lu thought for a moment and said, "Forget about Tu Xiong. Many places in this cave are short and narrow. You are big and strong, and you don't know how to escape underground. You can't get in. Du Feng, pick a few brothers who are of suitable build and agile, and go in with me."

Then, he used his eloquence to make promises to the crowd: "Brothers who cannot enter, don't worry. If there are treasures in this cave, you will definitely benefit from it."

The soldiers from all the counties had no doubt about Shang Lu's generosity, and they all responded with smiles, their morale was very high.

Du Feng quickly selected the people, all of whom were of suitable physique, smart and alert, and had potential and were worth training.

Seeing that it was dark inside the cave, they went to cut down trees and make torches.

"No need to bother."

Uncle Huai called them and turned to greet the few wick elves.

The wick spirits were well prepared. They took out gourds from their companions, uncorked them, and poured the liquid in the gourds onto their bodies.

I smelled the smell and it turned out to be oil.

The wick spirit that was poured with oil instantly changed from its previous dry appearance to an oily and smooth one.

Then they took out a tinder, opened it, and put it to their heads. There was a loud "bang" and their heads started to catch fire, the flames were quite big.

"Is this okay?"

Du Feng and the others widened their eyes and said in surprise: "Aren't they afraid of burning themselves?"

Uncle Huai introduced with a smile: "They are wick spirits. After being soaked in oil, they can burn for a long time. When the fire stops, they can repair the burnt parts or grow new ones. So you can rest assured that they will never burn themselves."

Du Feng and others were amazed.

Among the county soldiers who were watching the fun, someone sighed again, saying that if he had such a group of flower fairies and grass elves in his own home, it would save him a lot of trouble and money.

But soon a companion retorted: "It saves trouble, but it doesn't necessarily save money. Haven't you seen that the flower demons and grass spirits eat something special? They are all spiritual liquids prepared by Uncle Huai."

While the county soldiers were chattering among themselves, Shang Lu had already called Mu Yuan back.

The tunnel was short and narrow, not suitable for wooden kites to investigate, so paper figures were more suitable.

The greedy beast entered the cave first, walking in front to lead the way. There were two paper figures beside it to protect it.

Shang Lu walked behind the Tan Beast, followed by Du Feng and his companions, and Uncle Huai and Lu Yang brought up the rear.

As for the grass elves with fire on their heads, they were mixed in the team, both in the front and the back, so that there was plenty of light.

After entering the cave, everything went smoothly.

Shang Lu and his men were very fast. In a short while, they followed the greedy beast and walked into the depths of the cave.

The air here is very turbid. If an ordinary person came here, he would probably have suffered from hypoxia and other problems long ago.

But Shanglu and his companions had Sanniang with them, and there was a breeze around them all the way, bringing fresh air and blowing away the foul air in the cave, so that they had no worries about lack of oxygen.

After walking deep into the cave, Shang Lu, Lu Yang and Huai Shu all sensed a strong and chaotic evil spirit rushing towards them.

"Be careful, there is something going on ahead."

Shang Lu gave a warning and asked the paper man to go forward to investigate.

Soon the paper man sent back a message that no ferocious beasts or ghosts were seen ahead, but instead a large number of Five Evil Stones were discovered.

The Five Evil Stones can be used in many aspects such as making tools, refining elixirs and even refining weapons.

Shang Lu had just come to buy the Five Evil Stones to repair the Tongyou Hand Drum, and only then did he discover the case of the He thief.

However, I didn’t expect that there were so many Five Evil Stones hidden in Xingshan.

"Is it because of the war that broke out here?"

Lu Yang looked at the five evil stones on the wall of the cave, which were emitting chaotic evil spirits, and couldn't help but guess.

The Five Evil Stones are mostly produced in places of war, and are formed by the condensation of murderous aura, hostility, resentment and blood.

A fierce war had indeed broken out here in Xingshan, and there was even a man-made dangerous place. The chaotic and violent aura leaked out and gave birth to a vein of Five Evil Stones. It is indeed possible.

At this time, the greedy beast barked at Shang Lu a few times, and his tone was full of pride. It was obvious that this guy was bragging about his abilities and asking for a reward from Shang Lu.

“It really deserves the award.”

Shang Lu smiled and said that he was never stingy with rewards because he knew that the more generous the reward, the higher the return he would get.

Materials like the Five Evil Stone are needed in many places. Even if Shang Lu can't use it for the time being, he can sell it and exchange it for what he needs.

So when he saw the greedy beast asking for a reward, Shang Lu immediately smiled and took out a gold cake from the Impermanence Order and threw it to it.

The greedy beast jumped up, took the golden cake in its mouth, and swallowed it without chewing, revealing a very satisfied expression.

After giving the reward to the greedy beast, Shang Lu did not sit idle either. He wiped his face with his hand and changed into the Nuo mask of the god with a pig body, eight legs and a snake tail. He used his magical power to make the five evil stones growing on the wall of the cave fall down with a rustling sound.

Lu Yang was stunned. He had originally planned to use his sword energy to mine, but he never expected that Shang Lu's method was much more convenient and effective than his. He couldn't help but sighed, "The Nuo mask can be used in this way. I've learned a lot."

Du Feng led the county soldiers forward, intending to help pick up the Five Evil Stones, but Shang Lu said, "No need to bother." He then took out the Impermanence Order, activated his spiritual energy, and rolled the fallen Five Evil Stones into the Impermanence Order.

Lu Yang didn't bother to be polite with Shang Lu and picked up a few high-quality Five Evil Stones.

His flying sword just needed the Five Evil Stones to be refined and upgraded.

Shang Lu did not forget to say to Du Feng and the others: "You don't need the Five Evil Stones. I will give you some gold and silver when you return."

Du Feng and his companions hurriedly said that it was not necessary. After all, they had not contributed much and were embarrassed to accept the reward.

But Shang Lu said that whoever saw it would have a share, and asked them to call him Sima Renyi, point to the sky and draw the earth to show that they were willing to die for Shang Lu.

Soon, Shang Lu used the magical power of the mountain god to mine almost all the Five Evil Stones in the cave.

At this time, a county soldier who was on guard with his sword in hand suddenly heard someone beside him ask him, "Is there any water? I'm thirsty and need a drink of water."

"I didn't bring any water..." The soldier answered subconsciously, but he immediately realized something was wrong. The voice was dry and strange, not like that of his colleague. The soldier was startled, but fortunately, the training during this period allowed him to remain calm and react quickly. He drew his sword in an instant and chopped in the direction of the sound.

"when--"

The knife failed to hit the person, but instead hit the wall of the cave, causing sparks to fly.

Du Feng heard the noise and turned around to ask urgently: "What happened... Be careful!"

Before he could finish his sentence, he widened his eyes in warning.

Instead, he saw a dried corpse like firewood suddenly emerging from the cave wall behind the county soldier, opening its mouth, revealing a row of sharp fangs, and biting towards the county soldier's neck.

From the mouth of the mummy, like a broken bellows, a sharp roar came out: "You are lying! There is water in your body, your blood is water, give me a drink, give me a drink——"

The mummy appeared so suddenly and so fast that the county soldiers had no time to turn around.

Fortunately, there are people who are faster than this mummy.

"Whoosh-"

With a loud sound of breaking through the air, a flying sword came whistling with a sharp edge that could tear through space.

The sword energy gushed out and directly crushed the upper half of the mummy's body.

The county soldier turned around and saw the corpse collapsed on the ground and began to rot rapidly. He cursed with lingering fear: "What the hell, you want to drink my blood? My urine is also water, do you want to drink it or not?"

At the same time, the county soldier wanted to step forward and stab the corpse a few more times, but was stopped by Uncle Huai: "Stay away, don't get close to this corpse, it's poisonous."

The county soldiers were frightened when they heard this, and quickly stepped back and covered their mouths and noses with their hands.

The paper man then stepped forward and sprinkled medicinal powder on the corpse to speed up the dissolution of the corpse and eliminate the poisonous gas.

It was also at this moment that the originally quiet cave suddenly became noisy.

Voices were heard from the walls of the cave all around, shouting: "Drink... Drink..."

The voices were so dense that there were at least hundreds of them, if not a thousand.

The county soldier was stunned. What was going on? So many mummies wanted to drink his urine? Damn, these ghosts were so perverted even after they died. How outrageous must they have been when they were alive?

Everyone looked at the surrounding cave walls in the light of the wick spirit's fire.

I saw countless skinny figures swaying on the stone wall.

Fortunately, Du Feng and his companions had followed Shang Lu and were well-informed, so they were not frightened.

As for Lu Yang, he snorted disdainfully: "I thought they were something else, but they turned out to be a bunch of deer. They dare to play tricks in front of us? They don't know how to live or die... No, they were already dead, no wonder they are so stupid. It seems that they were attracted by the Five Evil Stones and have been hiding nearby to absorb the evil spirit."

Lu Yang raised his hand and slapped the sword case. A flying sword as thin as a cicada's wing popped out from it and silently pierced into the wall of the cave, moving back and forth freely.

In an instant, it hit several human figures on the cave wall and pierced through their heads.

When the other figures saw this, they all came out from the cave wall, trying to hunt down everyone with their numerical advantage.

They all looked like emaciated and withered corpses!
Before Shang Lu could make a move, several wick spirits who were performing the lighting task shook their heads violently and threw the flames on their heads towards the group of deer.

"boom--"

"boom--"

The dried muntjac is just like dried firewood, it will catch fire when it encounters fire. No wonder it is clamoring for water.

And once they are burned by fire, they are quickly destroyed.

When the dry muntjacs that were not touched by the flames saw this, they screamed and shrank back into the stone wall. However, they realized that it was a prickly spot and did not dare to come out to attack.

But they had to hide in the stone wall and avoid being hunted by Lu Yang's flying sword, so they simply used some tricks inside the stone wall to cause the tunnel to collapse, crushing or suffocating Shang Lu and others here and making them one of their own.

Seeing the tunnel shaking violently and large pieces of rubble and dust falling down, everyone was not panicked at all and even laughed.

Shang Lu was wearing the Nuo mask of the mountain god at this moment.

For Gan Jiuzi to use such means in front of Shang Lu was just like showing off one's skills in front of an expert.

Shang Lu sneered and immediately wanted to borrow the power of the mountain god to get rid of these deer.

But suddenly, a strange "whoosh whoosh whoosh" sound was heard from the cave.

Something was flying towards them at an extremely fast speed.

The first strange noise was clearly still deep in the cave, but the second one had already arrived in front of everyone.

But they were some half-human-sized monsters.

They are shaped like bats, with green faces and fangs, pointed heads, and Mediterranean hairstyles - the top of their heads are bald with only one hair, but underneath there is a circle of fiery red curls.

"It's the Flying Yaksha!"

Lu Yang recognized the identity of this group of monsters at a glance.

"These monsters have thick skin and flesh, and are hard to be injured by swords and knives. They are also very fast and very difficult to deal with. Fortunately, they have a fatal flaw, which is that they are afraid of lightning. Brother Shang, you take care of the deer, and I will take care of these flying yakshas!"

As he spoke, Lu Yang slapped the sword case with his left hand, and two sword lights whizzed out, entwining and rubbing against each other in mid-air, and actually produced a burst of purple lightning.

Shang Lu was secretly amazed. He didn't expect that a flying sword could generate electricity through friction.

He really didn't pay attention to it before, but now he realizes that the seven flying swords in Lu Yang's sword box actually have their own characteristics and can be used in different scenarios.

The main reason was that the enemies he had encountered before were either too strong or too weak for Lu Yang, leaving him no chance to display the different characteristics of the seven flying swords.

Although these flying yakshas look ferocious, they are indeed afraid of thunder and lightning.

Lu Yang's two flying swords burst out with purple lightning and thunder, which immediately scared the aggressive Flying Yaksha so much that it turned around and tried to run away.

But at this moment, the Thunder and Fire Poison-avoiding Umbrella appeared like a ghost on the escape route of Feitian Yaksha. It suddenly opened up, bursting out with a large amount of lightning, and turned into an electric net, blocking the way of Feitian Yaksha.

Lu Yang's flying sword immediately caught up, and together with the Leihuo Poison-avoiding Umbrella, strangled the Flying Yaksha.

The sound of thunder continued to explode in the cave, and soon tore the flying yakshas into pieces.

At the same time, Shang Lu also used the Nuo mask of the god with a pig body and eight legs and a snake tail to kill all the deer hiding in the rocks on the cave wall.

By looking at the Nuo mask of the god with a pig body and eight legs and a snake tail, Shang Lu realized that there was still a lot of evil spirit hidden under this mountain, and it was very likely that there were other evil spirits such as deer ants and flying yakshas.

Such a situation was obviously not caused by the Five Evil Stones.

There are probably other strange things hidden under this mountain.

"Could it be that the earth veins have been damaged or polluted?" Shang Lu guessed.

It's not impossible.

The Chu army designated a restricted area in Xingshan and secretly created a dangerous place. There is no guarantee that the chaotic and evil spirit will not leak out.

Especially now that the dangerous place has been destroyed, it is entirely possible that the chaotic evil spirit will leak out and pollute the earth veins.

When Shang Lu was in the Witch Academy, although he couldn't concentrate on the boring Feng Shui courses, he knew that the pollution of the earth veins was a big deal.

At the very least, it will affect the feng shui of a place, causing irregular winds and rains, constant disasters, and rampant demons.

In serious cases, it will affect the country's destiny and make the country restless.

Shang Lu did not dare to delay. He took out the Impermanence Order and reported the situation here to the Rat Patrol, asking him to contact the Rabbit Patrol in Xingshan and send a few people who understand Feng Shui to see if there is really a problem with the ground veins here.

When the Rat Patrol received the news, he quickly replied with a "OK".

Then, he gave him another order: "I will arrive at Xingshan Military Town with the Grand Master soon, you should come and join us as soon as possible."

The Five Evil Stones have been almost collected, and the rest are some loose ores of poor quality, and Shang Lu is too lazy to waste time.

Therefore, after seeing the news of Zishu's patrol, he called everyone to leave the cave and return to Xingshan Military Town.

As for the task of hunting zombies, other teams will come to take over.

But just as Shang Lu turned to leave, the greedy beast suddenly sniffed and howled towards the deeper part of the cave, then turned around and barked at Shang Lu.

This emotion was even more intense than when he discovered the Five Evil Stones.

"Is there any treasure in this cave?"

Shang Lu's eyes lit up, and he made a judgment instantly: "And it's a better treasure than the Five Evil Stones!"
