Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 166 The Magical Uses of Snake Scales

It was not until dawn that the yamen runners and county soldiers, who had received the message sent by the wooden kite, rushed to Yunxi Town from the county seat.

This speed was not slow. After all, they had no official horses and could only travel on foot.

With the addition of these people, the speed of review was finally increased.

By the next day, all the residents of Yunxi Town had been examined.

It turned out that several people were involved in murders.

Most of these people are local ruffians who lead a very unhappy life and see no hope for the future.

Suddenly someone came and told them that killing is not a sin but is also a good deed and a form of spiritual practice. They immediately believed it.

They were also smart. They did not rush to kill the people in the town, but instead killed several passing merchants and robbed their property.

They didn't know whether they had accumulated merit through their practice, but since they had money, they could eat meat, drink wine, and visit brothels, and it seemed that they had really escaped from suffering and torture.

After the beast was killed, these ruffians tried to run away immediately, but were caught up by the official horses and had their legs broken.

I can only say that you deserve it!

But there is one person who is well-known as an honest man in the local area.

Although the people of Yunxi Town were indoctrinated by the evil beast into believing that killing people could help them escape from suffering, they were still hesitating and struggling.

No one would have thought that this guy, who was usually known to be honest, would kill someone without hesitation.

The ones he killed were his own parents.

When this man was captured, he still believed in what the beast said and did not think he was wrong.

All I can say is that once an honest person is deceived, he will be deceived deeper than others.

All those who committed murder were taken back to the county government for interrogation and conviction.

When taking these people away, Shang Lu specifically ordered the officers to put shackles on them, insert wooden signs on them, and parade them through the streets of the town to serve as a warning to everyone.

The other residents of Yunxi Town criticized and educated them and then let them go home.

Of course, this doesn't mean the matter is over.

When Shang Lu returned to the county town, he would invite a shaman or witch official to come and perform witchcraft to eliminate the evil thoughts in these people's hearts.

Those people who believed in the false theories of the false beast were also taken back to the county town.

Feng Nan and others did not follow Shang Lu back to the county town. They parted ways with Shang Lu outside Yunxi Town and continued patrolling.

Having just shared a large sum of money, they were full of fighting spirit.

Shang Lu returned to Luoshui County with the yamen runners and county soldiers, escorting the prisoners and the confiscated money.

When they arrived at the yamen, three baskets loaded with money were missing from the cart.

One was given to the county magistrate, one was divided among the yamen runners and clerks, and the last one was kept by Shang Lu himself.

This is also a common practice in the government office. Even if the witch official knew about it, he would not say anything.

In the past, the distribution of money in Luoshui County was decided by the chief clerk Zheng Quan. Although the money was distributed to everyone, the majority of it went into Zheng Quan's own pocket.

Compared with Zheng Quan, Shang Lu is undoubtedly much more generous.

The yamen runners who received the money were all smiling happily. They all thought it was good that Zheng Quan stepped down. At least everyone's pockets would be fatter, and they could stand up straight and speak louder when facing their wives at home.

After dividing the money, Shang Lu asked Captain Niu to take people to send those fanatical believers to the witch temple.

"Please tell the witch that these people have been brainwashed by the monster using sophistry. Ask her to help treat them. In addition, many residents of Yunxi Town have also been brainwashed, but not as severely as these few people. Ask her to take some time to go to Yunxi Town and see what to do. If you need assistance from the county government, we will fully cooperate."

The bull catcher took the order and said, "I will definitely convey your words word for word."

Shang Lu called a few strong men and asked them to send the murderer to the cell and lock him up for a few days before conducting a detailed interrogation.

After arranging these things, Shang Lu pondered for a while and asked Du Feng to lead people to Yunhua Mountain to wait for Feng Boyuan's orders.

Knowing the true purpose of the tomb-opening spy, Feng Boyuan and his team would definitely conduct targeted inspections to see which veins were at risk of being polluted or had already been polluted.

In addition, we must follow this clue to find the whereabouts of the spy who dug the tomb.

Although the witches can control paper figures, turn beans into soldiers, and have all kinds of magical powers, who would complain about having too many available manpower?
Du Feng accepted the order, immediately picked a team of people, and rushed to Yunhua Mountain without stopping.

Shang Lu, on the other hand, had some free time after finishing these tasks.

He gave a few instructions to the clerk in the county lieutenant's office and left the office. He did not rush home, but went to the county market.

Under Sanniang's guidance, I bought the ingredients and seasonings needed to cook the beast.

Sanniang's ability has been growing with the improvement of Shanglu's cultivation. When Shanglu was only at the Bone-Cutting Realm, Sanniang had to hold an oil-paper umbrella when she went out during the day.

Now that Shang Lu's cultivation has reached the Marrow Cleansing Realm, Sanniang is no longer afraid of the sun.

She stayed with Shang Lu while they were at the market.

Shang Lu finally experienced the feeling of accompanying his wife shopping.

But Sanniang was different from other women. She did not go shopping in the market. The few things she bought were ingredients for making animal meat for Shanglu.

In the end, Shang Lu took her to the jewelry store.

Because there were outsiders present, Shang Lu couldn't talk to Sanniang or let her try it on, for fear of scaring her. He could only communicate with her eye contact and ask Sanniang what style she liked.

Just this made the shop assistants look at Shang Lu with a little more vigilance.

In his eyes, every time Shang Lu picked up a piece of jewelry, he would look up towards the store door.

He was really worried that Shang Lu would pick up the jewelry and run away.

For this purpose, he even winked at his companions who were guarding the store door, asking them to be more careful.

Fortunately, in the end, Shang Lu not only did not rob anything, but also bought several gold hairpins and jade bracelets.

After returning home, Shang Lu couldn't wait to take out the jewelry box and asked Sanniang to put it on to see if it fit and looked good.

It turned out that there was a jade bracelet in the box, but it was missing.

"You forgot one piece for me?"

Shang Lu frowned, but quickly shook his head.

He was watching the shop assistant packing the jewelry.

If someone could do something under his nose, then that guy must be an extraordinary person.

So the jade bracelet must have disappeared on the road!
And it is unlikely to have been stolen by thieves.

Then, there is only one possibility left.

Shang Lu's heart moved, and he took out the snake scales given by the statue from his arms.

The snake scales at this moment were different from before, emitting a yellow light with a green hue.

At the same time, Shanglu also felt a heavy breath.

Like the smell of soil and rocks.

Fresh and spiritual.

Shanglu immediately understood the purpose of this snake scale.

If his cultivation reaches the Qi Refining Stage, he can sacrifice jade to make the snake scales emit spiritual energy for him to cultivate.

This snake scale is equivalent to a miniature secret realm gas eye! I just don't know how many there are in stock.

"That god gave me a good treasure..."

Shanglu was very excited holding the snake scales.

The only bad thing is that he has not yet reached the Qi Refining stage and is unable to gather and refine Qi.

But he couldn't absorb the air, but Sanniang could eat the air.

But before this, what Sanniang ate was the essence of the food.

I wonder if she can absorb the spiritual energy emitted by the snake scales?

Shang Lu held the snake scales in front of Sanniang and asked her to try it.

Sanniang gently lifted a small part of the red veil, revealing a beautiful mouth. She opened her red lips slightly and gently sucked on the snake scales.

The spiritual energy in the snake scales was immediately sucked into her little mouth.

"Is it delicious?" Shang Lu asked.

"It's delicious." Sanniang nodded slightly.

"Then I will buy more jade and offer it to the snake scales every day, in exchange for spiritual energy for you to eat." Shang Lu said happily.

If Sanniang becomes stronger, the help she can bring to him will be enormous!
Others all hope their children will become successful.

But he and Sanniang, one hopes his wife will become a phoenix, and the other hopes her husband will become a dragon.
