Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 15: Only You Can Lift This Veil
Shang Lu, who had already returned home, had no idea how people outside were talking about and laughing at him.

It is the way to know, the way to do things, the way to do things, the way to do things.

As long as you can pass the performance test, all the ridicule will become a joke.

On the contrary, the more people laugh at him now, the more it will paralyze Sun Ying, Captain Ma and others, buying him enough time and opportunities to recover his Bone-Cutting Minor Success level.

It can even help you improve your cultivation!
Therefore, as soon as he got home, Shanglu did not even take a rest, but started practicing to absorb the essence of qi and blood transformed by the spleen spirit from the snake gall.

Sanniang took out a whetstone and started sharpening the knife in the yard.

The oxtail knife had many nicks and bent edges from the fight with the monster snake. It would have been best to send it to a blacksmith shop for repair, but that would easily reveal the problem.

Just a few mad dogs would not have damaged the Oxtail Knife to this extent.

So the only thing I can do is use a whetstone to do some simple repairs first, and then make further repairs after the performance evaluation is over.

Shang Lu originally planned to sharpen his own knife after practicing martial arts, but he didn't expect to be beaten to it by the virtuous Sanniang again.

After thanking Sanniang, Shang Lu focused his mind and practiced the Five Beasts Health-preserving Technique over and over again until he absorbed all the essence of qi and blood generated by the snake gall.

At this moment, it was late at night and the sky and the earth were pitch black.

The house where Shanglu and Sanniang lived was so dark that you couldn't see your hand in front of you because of the lush trees.

In the past, when Shanglu got up to urinate at night, he would need to light a candle so that he could see the way to the toilet.

But now, it was still pitch black, but Shang Lu was surprised to find that he could actually see a lot of things.

Although I can't see very clearly, being able to see in the dark is a big improvement.

This is exactly the benefit of snake gall.

And the benefits don’t just end there.

"Sanniang, this snake gall is really a good thing. After eating it, my eyesight has improved a lot."

Shang Lu was happy to share the good news with Sanniang, but while speaking, he caught a glimpse of a looming figure.

The face could not be seen clearly and the figure was also blurry, like a blood-red shadow floating in the air with only the outline.

This strange figure was standing not far away, holding a towel.

If others saw this blood-red shadow, they would only feel horrified and scared, but Shang Lu was filled with surprise and excitement at this moment.

Before he could open his mouth, the blood-red shadow floated over silently and wiped his sweat carefully with a towel.

Only then did Shang Lu see that blood red should be the color of the wedding dress she was wearing.

It’s a pity that I can’t see her face, it must be covered by the red veil.

Even so, Shang Lu was still very excited.

"Sanniang, I can see you now!"

He stretched out his hand to lift Sanniang's veil, but his hand failed.

His hand went straight through Sanniang's head and caught nothing.

Sanniang was stunned for a moment, then deliberately let go of her hand, letting Feng hold the towel, and she went behind Shang Lu.

Shang Lu understood what Sanniang meant, smiled and turned his head to look at her new position.

"I'm not kidding you, I can really see you now."

After a pause, Shang Lu sighed again: "But I can only see the outline of a shadow, I can't see the specific appearance, and I can't actively touch you."

Upon hearing this, Sanniang gently held Shang Lu's hand.

This time, Shanglu felt something.

The soft, tender and cool little hands are so nice to touch.

Shang Lu knew that Sanniang was trying to comfort him, so he unceremoniously pinched Sanniang's little hand and made a request.

"Can you take off your veil so I can see what you look like?"

As soon as he said this, Shang Lu saw the blood-red shadow in front of him shaking his head. Just as he was feeling regretful, he heard Sanniang's vague and gentle voice again.

"You have to take off the veil."

"what?"

Shang Lu was stunned for a moment, then he realized that according to custom, only the groom could remove the bride's veil.

"understood."

He smiled and nodded, as if he was making a vow or motivating himself.

"It seems that if I want to unveil your veil sooner, I must practice even harder!"

After spending some time with Sanniang, Shang Lu continued his practice.

The essence of qi, blood and energy transformed from the snake gall had been completely absorbed, so there was little point in practicing the Five Beasts Health-preserving Technique. Therefore, Shang Lu started practicing the Tendon-breaking and Bone-cutting Knife.

During the fight with the strange snake, Shang Lu discovered that although he had received special training from Sanniang, he had not practiced swordsmanship for a long time and had not mastered many of the moves.

You may not feel anything when you are practicing, but once you get to actual combat, you will encounter problems such as forgetting moves, making wrong moves, etc.

Fortunately, although the strange snake was weird and could "resurrect" again and again, its actual combat power was not very strong, so the mistakes Shang Lu made during the fight were not fatal.

But what if the opponent changes?

Both Captain Ma and the leader of the Black Wind Gang are masters with outstanding skills and rich practical experience.

Making mistakes in front of these people is tantamount to seeking death!

Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the practice of the tendon-breaking and bone-cutting knife.

Not to mention reaching the level of being able to use your fingers as easily as your own arms, at least you need to develop muscle memory to reduce the occurrence of mistakes.

Although the oxtail knife was badly damaged, it could still be used for practicing martial arts.

After Sanniang threw the knife to Shanglu, she once again served as a sparring partner, urging the leaves to fall like a rain of arrows and quickly attacked Shanglu.

"what?"

At this moment, Shanglu made a new discovery.

Because of his improved vision, he can capture fast-moving targets faster and more accurately.

This made him much more accurate when dealing with Sanniang's "Flying Leaf Attack".

Even if Fei Ye suddenly turned, he would be able to notice and react immediately.

So, after this night of practice, the number of times Shang Lu was hit by flying leaves was greatly reduced compared to before.

However, Shanglu also discovered some new problems:
His eyes sensed the danger, but his body's reaction could not keep up and was always half a beat slower.

Shang Lu understood that the only way to solve this problem was to further improve his cultivation and become more proficient in swordsmanship.

Shang Lu practiced until the second half of the night, and finally fell asleep after washing up, exhausted.

After he fell asleep, Sanniang started sharpening the knife again.

For fear of disturbing Shang Lu's sleep, Sanniang went to the kitchen and closed the doors and windows tightly to prevent any noise from coming out.

Fortunately, this is the case, otherwise a new supernatural story would be born in this alley tomorrow.

The next morning, Shang Lu finished his morning exercise, put on his tattered and bloody constable uniform, and went to the yamen.

Last night, Sanniang wanted to wash and mend the dress, but was stopped by Shang Lu.

This tattered and bloody constable uniform will be very useful today.

For this reason, Shang Lu did not take a cold bath after the training. He just randomly got some hemostatic and tissue-growing herbs and crushed them and applied them on the wound.

Cold baths have a good therapeutic effect on external injuries, but if Shang Lu appears in the yamen with minor injuries, it will inevitably arouse suspicion from Sun Ying, Captain Ma and others.

Shang Lu needs to use this set of clothes and these wounds to further paralyze Sun Ying, Captain Ma and others to buy time for himself.
