Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 115: The Care of the Queen Mother Hou Tu

After burning incense, Shang Lu walked out of the side hall.

As he stepped over the threshold of the side hall, the door closed by itself with a dull creaking sound.

The moment the palace door closed, Shang Lu heard some strange noises.

It was like a bunch of things were talking. Although the voices were small, they were chattering and noisy.

"Are those 'eyes' talking?"

Shang Lu made a judgment in an instant and guessed in surprise: "Those 'eyes' are the real body of the god in the side hall?"

Shang Lu was very curious about what those "eyes" were discussing, but unfortunately he could not understand what they were saying and did not dare to eavesdrop too much.

If the sound of the mountain pioneer was like thunder, it would be so loud that even a person's soul would be shaken away.

The sounds of these "eyes", though small, are quite noisy and can give people a headache.

In just such a short moment, Shang Lu felt that his head was about to explode from the noise.

If you listen to it more often, even if your head doesn't really explode, these sounds will still cause you to suffer from neurasthenia or even drive you crazy.

It seems that among the gods in this world, there are both relatively normal ones like Hou Tu Niangniang and strange and bizarre ones like the god in the side hall.

Next time you worship gods, you must look carefully first, and be sure not to burn the wrong incense or worship the wrong god, which would cause trouble.

Otherwise, you may not even be able to explain how you died!

Fortunately, although the god in the side hall is weird, it can be enshrined in the witch temple, so there is no problem even if there is one.

Just like at this moment, although those "eyes" were chattering and making a lot of noise, they didn't really do anything to Shanglu.

After the palace door was closed, the noisy quarrel was completely isolated.

Shang Lu suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, no longer having to worry about being blown away by the noise.

He glanced at the Discipline Department witch officer beside the palace gate. Seeing that he had no reaction, he pretended not to have heard anything and asked with a cupped hand, "I would like to visit the witch. Is that okay?"

"of course can."

The witch officer of the Discipline Department signaled Shang Lu to do as he pleased: "The review is over. Captain Shang, you can decide what you want to do. You don't need to ask for our consent."

"Yes."

Shang Lu immediately said goodbye and went to find a witch.

Since the reinforcements from the county government and the Witch Academy arrived, the witches returned to the county town.

This time, Shang Lu and Feng Boyuan were able to escape from the secret realm early, thanks to the witch who used the technique of asking ghosts to contact Sanniang.

Even if there was no witch doctor, Sanniang would find a way to lead the yamen runners, but the witch doctor did contribute after all.

This kindness must be acknowledged.

Not to mention, fortunately the witch did not keep anything to herself and told Shang Lu a lot of knowledge and experience related to the secret realm. This allowed him to know what to do and what not to do after encountering an emergency, so that he did not make mistakes in a hurry and fall into danger.

Therefore, Shang Lu should visit the witch and thank her, and then continue to ask her for new knowledge.

After Shang Lu walked for a distance, he was suddenly stunned.

He heard two voices.

A voice came from the witch officer from the Discipline Department.

The other voice sounded a little strange, probably the companion of the witch officer.

In fact, the two witches from the Discipline Department spoke in very low voices, and they only started talking after Shang Lu had walked some distance away, so they never expected that Shang Lu could hear them.

"It seems that the dragon pearl was torn into pieces by the mountain-opening general along with Qiu Haishan's ghost."

"Qiu Haishan was also stupid. He knew that Shang Lu had borrowed divine power, but he still wanted to get into his body and take over his body. As a result, he angered the mountain-opening general, and he was punished by the gods and his soul was scattered..."

"It must be like this. Otherwise, with Shang Lu's cultivation at the Tongmai Realm, even if he borrowed divine power, he would not be able to suppress and kill Qiu Haishan's ghost."

"What a pity, a dragon pearl is wasted like this..."

The two witch officials from the Discipline Department sighed and felt sorry for the loss of the Dragon Pearl.

In the Witch Academy, there are more than one or two people waiting for the Jiaozhu to break through.

"I see that Shang Lu's body has shown signs of strengthening recently. Also, his cultivation level is not at the entry level of Tongmai, but is almost at the advanced level..."

"This is not surprising. Qiu Haishan's ghost was killed in his body. The ghost was extremely scattered, and the power of the dragon pearl overflowed and was partially absorbed by his body, thus strengthening him. However, several of his meridians were also opened, which was somewhat beyond my expectations. It seems that he is really a person with great opportunities as Feng Boyuan said."

"The chief priest likes people like this the most..."

The rest of the conversation could not be heard. Not only was Shang Lu walking too far away, but also because the two witch officers from the Discipline Department went into a room.

Shang Lu couldn't go back and continue eavesdropping, so he had to give up.

However, from the words of the two witch officers from the Discipline Department, Shang Lu knew that the investigation against him was really over.

Shang Lu can continue to open his acupoints and meridians to improve his cultivation without worrying about his strength increasing too quickly and arousing suspicion.

The wizards of the Discipline Department all said that he had absorbed some of the power that leaked out of the Dragon Pearl.

Needless to say, this power helped him reach the level of Perfect Meridian Opening and even break through to the Marrow Cleansing Stage. That's reasonable, right?

Shang Lu must make good use of the reason found with the help of the witch officer of the Discipline Department, and must not let the witch officer of the Discipline Department down for his hard work and good intentions.

After leaving the courtyard where the side hall was located, Shang Lu found the witch who was meditating with his eyes closed in the main hall where Hou Tu Niangniang was enshrined.

The little girl accompanying the witch saw him and hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether to interrupt the witch's meditation.

Shang Lu made a gesture to her to keep quiet, asking her not to disturb the witch. Then he imitated the witch, found a seat, sat down, and meditated cross-legged.

At the beginning, Shang Lu was still a little restless, with a lot of mixed thoughts in his mind. Sometimes he was thinking about Sanniang, sometimes about the secret realm, and sometimes about promotion.

His anxious mind seemed to sense that he was entangled in distracting thoughts, and it released a ball of fire, instantly burning those distracting thoughts away.

Without the interference of distracting thoughts, Shang Lu quickly entered a mysterious state of tranquility.

Gradually, he even felt like he was back in his mother's arms, and his whole body and mind were relaxed.

Because it was so peaceful and relaxing, Shang Lu actually fell asleep.

Moreover, he slept particularly soundly and peacefully. It was the most relaxing and comfortable sleep Shang Lu had ever had since he traveled to this world.

Shang Lu felt that he was enveloped by a strong and warm power in his sleep.

All the fatigue and tiredness were swept away in this sleep and under the nourishment of this magical power.

His internal organs, meridians, and bones grew under the nourishment of this power.

This power seems to have the special effect of nurturing and cultivating all things...

By the time Shang Lu opened his eyes, the witch had already finished his meditation and was chanting scriptures softly, which seemed to be the scriptures of Hou Tu Niangniang.

Noticing that he had opened his eyes, the witch looked up and asked, "Did you sleep well?"

"Sleep well."

Shang Lu felt a little embarrassed and quickly explained: "I feel very comfortable in this place and I fell asleep involuntarily. I hope the witch doctor will not mind."

The witch doctor did not blame Shang Lu, but told him: "You can sleep here and wash away your fatigue. It is the care of the Queen Mother Hou Tu. Go and burn some incense for her."

Shang Lu burned a stick of incense to Hou Tu Niangniang as he was told.

He was still very grateful to Hou Tu Niangniang.

The reason why he was able to marry Sanniang was because of the marriage they had arranged in the Hou Tu Niangniang Temple in the Witch Temple in Baichuan Town.

In a sense, Hou Tu Niangniang was not only the introducer of him and Sanniang, but also could be said to be Sanniang's family.

After Shang Lu finished offering incense, the witch asked him the purpose of his visit.

"I'm here to thank the witch."

Shang Lu expressed his gratitude to the witch with a sincere face.

The witch nodded and then asked a very crucial question.

"You come here to thank me empty-handed? The Wind Wizard came to thank me two days ago, but he brought a gift."

"I thought about bringing a thank-you gift, but then I thought, witches and shamans are not ordinary people, and bringing a thank-you gift would be disrespectful to them..."

"You're wrong, then."

The witch didn't buy his talk at all: "I am a secular person, otherwise I wouldn't be a witch in the secular world. Remember to pay the thank you gift later."

After a pause, she got straight to the point: "Tell me, you didn't go home after the review, but came to me. What do you want to learn from me?"

"I knew that nothing could be hidden from the witch."

Shang Lu flattered him first, then took out a paper figure from his sleeve pocket.

"I would like to ask, how do I use this?"
