Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 108: Success is just around the corner

When this group of people holding torches groped their way closer, Shang Lu and Feng Bo could see from afar that there were not many people coming, only six.

The leader had white hair and chicken skin, and was the witch in the county town.

In her left hand she held a bell made of some unknown bone, in her right hand she held a spirit-calling banner, and she was muttering something.

After reciting a few sentences, he would shake the bone bell and wave the soul-calling flag with the strange sound.

The one who supported her beside the witch was the little girl who was always by her side.

Behind them were the three leaders of the Niu Group, each holding a shield in one hand and a knife in the other, and Du Feng, whose hands were bandaged and unable to hold any weapon.

In fact, there were quite a few yamen runners and militiamen who came to Yunhua Mountain, but after finding the entrance to the secret realm, the witch kept most of them outside.

The secret realm is full of strangeness and danger. More people coming in is not necessarily a good thing.

Once someone triggers the danger in the secret realm, everyone will be implicated and killed.

So the witch only picked out the three strongest people to go into the secret realm with her to search for Shanglu and the witch official.

The rest of the people stayed outside the secret realm, on guard to prevent any escaped demons, alchemists, spies and others from breaking into the secret realm.

As for Du Feng, he was not qualified to enter the secret realm.

It's not just because he's not strong enough, but also because the injury on his hand has not yet healed, making it difficult for him to protect himself.

But he kept volunteering, and considering that he had a close relationship with Shang Lu, if they couldn't find any clues in the secret realm, they could use him as a medium and cast a spell to find Shang Lu, the witch took him with them.

In a sense, Du Feng's role in this team is similar to that of a search and rescue dog.

But Du Feng didn't mind. As long as he could play a role in the search and rescue operation for Shanglu, he would be very happy.

The six people came to Shang Lu and Feng Boyuan, and were shocked to see them covered in bruises and blood.

"Lu Tou, why are you injured like this?"

"I have some medicine here, use it quickly."

Du Feng and Captain Niu and a few others surrounded Shang Lu in a hurry, wanting to help him apply medicine and bandage the wound.

Shang Lu waved his hand and said, "Don't bother, Feng Wuguan has already applied medicine for me."

Compared to Shang Lu, no one cares about Feng Boyuan.

The main reason was that no one was familiar with him, and only Wu Zhu had seen him a few times.

Although Captain Niu and Du Feng had seen him before, Feng Boyuan at that time was full of vigor and vitality, completely different from his current appearance of being covered in bruises and blood.

It was not until they heard Shang Lu's introduction that the six people realized that this bloody man was actually the witch official Feng Boyuan, and they hurriedly saluted him.

"No need to be polite."

Feng Boyuan looked at them and was very surprised.

"Did you encounter any of the strangeness and dangers in the secret realm along the way?"

"No."

Du Feng spoke quickly and continued, "We didn't encounter anything and came here directly."

After a pause, he asked curiously, "Officer Feng Witch, is this really a secret realm? Isn't it said that there are opportunities and treasures hidden in the secret realm? Why do we only see rocks and karst pillars?"

Captain Niu glared at him and said unhappily, "Be content. There are still treacherous and dangerous things hidden in the secret realm. We are lucky to have walked here without any trouble and found Brother Shang and Feng Wuguan."

Feng Boyuan became more and more curious, and cast his gaze towards Wu Zhu, asking, "Senior Sister, how did you find this place?"

Wu Zhu is much older than Feng Boyuan and she also practiced in the Witch Academy before. It is reasonable for Feng Boyuan to call her senior sister.

"Please ask for directions."

The witch shook the bone bell and soul-calling flag in his hand, his tone sounding a little weak.

"What kind of ghost is so powerful that it can accurately find the way in the secret realm and lead you to avoid danger and tricks all the way?"

Feng Boyuan was both surprised and curious. He really wanted to meet the ghost who was leading the way to see who she was.

But the witch said: "We lost contact with her as soon as we arrived here. At first, I thought I had triggered the strangeness of the secret realm and was deceived and in danger. But I didn't expect to find you."

Feng Boyuan felt very sorry that he could not see the ghost that could move freely in the secret realm.

At the same time, he couldn't help but look at Shang Lu, thinking to himself, "Isn't that mysterious ghost here because of Captain Shang?"

He was self-aware and knew that the mysterious ghost was unlikely to be coming for him.

In addition, he had another doubt.

"Captain Shang, you clearly didn't see anyone just now, how did you know they were coming?"

Shang Lu couldn't say anything, of course. These were all told to him by Sanniang, so he spoke vaguely:

"I can't really explain it. Anyway, I felt that they should be able to find it, but I didn't expect them to find it so quickly."

Feng Boyuan nodded and actually agreed with this statement.

"This is what my heart feels! Captain Shang is indeed destined to be with you."

Could this also be related to chance? Shang Lu was somewhat surprised.

However, Feng Boyuan helped him find a good excuse, which made things a lot easier for him.

The witch checked the injuries of the two men, took out some magic medicine and performed some witchcraft to help them stop the bleeding and heal their wounds.

It was at this time that Du Feng and the others saw the huge half-step dragon and were immediately shocked. "There's a huge monster here!"

"Run! Monsters are coming!"

"Take Brother Shang away from here! And don't forget the Wind Witch Officer..."

Feng Boyuan saw that several people were in a panic and shouted hurriedly: "Don't panic, the dragon is dead."

"died?"

After hearing this, the Niu Butou and his men calmed down a little.

Only when he saw the huge dragon with horns on its head lying on the ground motionless, covered in blood and wounds, did he breathe a sigh of relief.

Du Feng plucked up his courage, took a closer look, and confirmed that this half-step dragon was really dead. He couldn't help but marvel at it.

"It really is dead... I, Du Feng, am really impressed. I actually saw a dragon so close, even though it was dead."

After returning, he gave Feng Boyuan a thumbs up and praised him sincerely: "The witch official is really amazing!"

Feng Boyuan blushed.

Fortunately, his face was covered in blood and his face didn’t look red.

But he still hurriedly explained: "I didn't kill the dragon. It was Captain Shang who killed it. Captain Shang also saved my life."

"what?"

Hearing this, everyone was shocked.

Even the witch looked at Shang Lu in astonishment and almost recited the spell wrongly.

Shanglu killed the Jiao?

But isn’t he at the Tongmai realm? How could he kill the dragon?
Could it be that although this dragon looks ferocious and dangerous, it is actually a useless person and not as powerful as it appears?

Or is there something else bizarre happening here?

Everyone was very curious and wanted to find out the truth, but seeing that Shang Lu and Feng Boyuan looked very weak, it was not the right time to ask them.

The only thing we can do is rescue them first. There will be plenty of time later, and we can slowly listen to Shang Lu bragging and telling about this curious experience.

Although no one knows how Shanglu killed the dragon, there is one thing that everyone can be sure of.

Shang Lu not only saved the witch official's life, but also made great contributions. His rapid rise to fame is just around the corner.

After the witch finished chanting the spell, he asked Niu Butou and another squad leader to carry Shang Lu and Feng Boyuan on their backs, and they successfully exited the secret realm along the original route.

Afterwards, the witch arranged for someone to send Shang Lu and Feng Boyuan back to Luoshui County.

She stayed in Yunhua Mountain, personally guarding the secret realm, waiting for the people from the Witch Academy to take over.

Shang Lu and Feng Boyuan were quickly carried down the mountain.

A carriage had been prepared at the foot of the mountain, carrying the two all the way back to Luoshui County and directly to the county government office.

The county magistrate and the chief clerk received the news in advance and rushed out of the yamen to greet him.

After communicating with Feng Boyuan, they immediately made various arrangements to prevent evil spirits from taking advantage of this time to break into the secret realm of Yunhua Mountain, or that spies from other countries might take the opportunity to cause sabotage.

As for Shang Lu, they sent someone to send him home so that he could have a good rest.

Everyone in the yamen knew that the house where Shang Lu lived was a famous haunted house in Luoshui County.

Before this, no one had ever entered this house. Even though Shang Lu had invited them in more than once, they did not dare to go in, as they always felt it was weird.

But today, Shang Lu was covered in wounds and had difficulty moving. Although the detectives were afraid of haunted houses, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and send him all the way back home.

When the constable pushed open the door and walked into this famous haunted house in Luoshui County, he was surprised to find that this place was sunny, clean and tidy, and the air exuded a refreshing fragrance that made people feel comfortable both physically and mentally.

Du Feng looked around and sighed, "Boss Lu, people in the county say that the place you live in is a haunted house. After seeing it today, it doesn't look like a haunted house at all. It's clearly the house we've always dreamed of!"

The other constables who had brought Shang Lu back nodded in agreement.

If houses like this are all haunted houses, then what is the place they live in? Hell?
Shang Lu smiled and said, "Actually, there really is a ghost in this house."

Du Feng and others didn't believe it at all and said he was joking.

Seeing that Shang Lu's home was not the haunted house they had imagined, Du Feng and others felt relieved and decided to stay to take care of Shang Lu.

Shang Lu doesn't want to keep them here as light bulbs.

Moreover, many things would be inconvenient for them to do if they stayed here.

"My condition is not that bad. You don't have to stay here to take care of me. You should go back to the government office and wait for instructions.

As long as the people from the Witch Academy don't come, the Yunhua Mountain incident won't be resolved, so we can't neglect it!"

Shang Lu was firm in his attitude, so the detectives had no choice but to leave as ordered.

But it was also agreed that they would visit Shanglu every day to confirm the situation.

Du Feng and the others walked out of the yard and were about to turn around and close the door, but the door closed by itself.

Several people looked at each other, with surprise and astonishment written all over their faces.

Why did the door close by itself?

Could it be that... there really is a ghost in the house?
