Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 175: Soldier Witch?

On horseback, Shang Lu looked back at the situation of the people behind him.

After a night of searching, even though Tu Bin and others were transferred from the border troops, they looked tired and both the men and horses were exhausted.

Shang Lu looked around and quickly found the place. He raised his hand and pointed:
"There's a forest over there. Let's go over there and have a bite to eat and rest."

Everyone responded in unison, and their tired faces finally regained some energy.

A dozen people quickly ran into the woods.

After dismounting, everyone put a hay bag on the official horse, which contained not only hay but also horse feed beans, so that the official horse could eat something and restore his strength.

After serving the official horses, everyone took out their water bags and dry food, sat on the ground, and rested.

After Shang Lu got off the horse, he walked quickly behind him.

The witch was not far behind.

When she got off the horse, her feet were a little shaky and she couldn't stand steadily.

Fortunately, Shang Lu was quick to act and held her up.

The older shamans were obviously not used to long hours of riding on horseback.

She was in a more exhausted state than Tu Bin and the others.

In fact, at the beginning, the witch was sitting in the county town, using the art of asking ghosts to drive away ghosts and help search for the whereabouts of the Chu spies and Ba Du.

But two days passed and there was no clue at all, and the witch could no longer sit still.

She didn't want Luoshui County to be polluted by the poison and become a den of ghosts on earth due to a tide of corpses.

The anxious witch, after getting in touch with Shang Lu, rushed over to work with them so as to better exorcise ghosts and conduct patrols and inspections.

In the past two days, the yamen runners and county soldiers of Luoshui County have not only set up checkpoints on the official road to check passing caravans and travelers, but also sent a number of people to patrol the small roads outside the official road.

Even Feng Boyuan, after receiving the message from the conch, immediately joined forces with other witch officials to launch a search using ghost soldiers, paper figures, witch beasts and other means.

Even so, two days passed and although several caravans of varying sizes were discovered, there was still no trace of the Chu spies and Ba Du.

It's no wonder that the witch is anxious.

At this moment, the witch took a breath, thanked Shang Lu for his support, then pinched his fingers and chanted a spell, then gently patted a tree nearby.

There was an immediate movement on the ground. The soil surged, and tree roots as thick as pythons emerged from the ground, coiled up into a ball, and turned into a natural chair.

The witch sat on it and explained, "It's not that I'm delicate, it's just that I'm too old to sit on the ground like you guys. When I stand up, my blood can't flow up and I get dizzy easily."

"What are you talking about? We all saw your performance today and admired you very much."

Shang Lu said with a smile, took the water bag and dry food from the horse's back and handed them to the witch.

The witch didn't bother to be polite with him. He took it and started eating. It seemed that he was also hungry.

Shanglu also ate some dry food and dealt with it simply.

In fact, even in the suburbs, as long as Shanglu wanted, Sanniang could still let him eat good things such as dragon snake meat paste, Tai Sui meat, etc.

But it was obviously inappropriate to eat alone while everyone else was eating dry food and drinking cold water.

At times like this, you still have to share the joys and sorrows with your subordinates.

After eating dry food, Shang Lu took advantage of the time when Wu Zhu, Tu Bin and others were resting to practice the Five Spirits Skill, absorbing the blood and energy stored in the liver statue to restore his spirit.

Then, he began to practice the newly learned set of military skills - the will to break through the enemy's formation. This set of skills has two sets of training methods, the mental and the physical.

In the past two days, Shanglu spent most of his time on horseback.

Although other skills and martial arts were not easy to practice, the spiritual training methods of controlling skills and breaking through the enemy lines were practiced well.

At this moment, Shang Lu quickly entered the state of "determination to break through the enemy's enemy lines, with the possibility of death as the only option" by adjusting his breathing.

A strong fighting spirit emanated from him, influencing the county soldiers around him.

At the same time, driven by his determination to break through the enemy lines, Shang Lu's body turned into a flesh and blood armor as strong as copper skin and iron bones.

Moreover, lines of blood and energy were flowing on his skin and flesh, protecting him like a bell, further strengthening his defense.

As Shang Lu fully launched the practice of the will to break through the enemy lines, the people who were resting in the woods suddenly had a feeling - the fatigue in their bodies quickly receded, and the energy that had been exhausted before was rapidly recovering.

Many people even had an urge to find an enemy immediately and have a good fight!
Tu Pi and his men all came from the border troops, and had seen similar fighting skills in some border army generals.

I just didn’t expect that Shanglu could do it too.

While being surprised, they all activated their blood and energy, practiced their skills, and relied on the blessing brought to them by Shanglu's will to break the enemy's formation to regulate their blood and energy and restore their strength.

They have experience and know that practicing at this time can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

When Shang Lu finished his training, the Wuzhu, who had been silent the whole time, finally asked, "What you just practiced was a military skill?"

"Yes." Shang Lu nodded with a smile: "I recently acquired a new set of military skills. I just started practicing and barely got started. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

The witch commented: "You build your foundation with martial arts, so it is suitable for you to follow the path of the military school. Since ancient times, the military school and the witch school have had many points of integration and communication. Even if you enter the witch academy in the future, you can follow the path of the military witch..."

She was about to give Shang Lu some advice when she suddenly raised her eyebrows, then raised her hand, and saw wisps of black gas surging out from a dark corner in the forest where the sun could not reach.

In just a few breaths, the black energy transformed into a dark and skinny little ghost, who knelt on one knee and mumbled a lot of words.

After Wu Zhu reunited with Shang Lu and his men, she sent out the Soul-Chasing Bird and delivered a lot of witchcraft and ghost talismans to the yamen runners and county soldiers who were setting up checkpoints and patrolling, so that they could report to her and Shang Lu in a timely manner when they made any discoveries.

The little ghost at this moment is the evil ghost summoned by the witch ghost talisman.

The witch listened to its gibberish description and communicated with it in ghost language before translating:

"This is the swift ghost sent by the Bull Catcher to deliver the message.

Captain Niu and his men discovered a merchant caravan from the State of Zhu on the official road outside Yinfeng Town. Including servants and bodyguards, there were more than fifty people in total, and they were transporting spices and other items.

Captain Niu and his men searched the caravan and found nothing amiss, but he still felt that there was something fishy about this group of people.

Because the manager of the caravan kept saying that they came from the Ju State and were Ju people.

It was as if they were deliberately trying to leave an impression on people and make them remember that they were from the Ju Kingdom..."

If it weren't for the information provided by the corpse driver, Captain Niu would not have had any suspicions when encountering such a thing.

But the corpse driver said that the Chu State's secret agents would disguise themselves as merchants from the Ju State and frame the Ju State for the pollution and destruction of the secret realm.

This made Captain Niu suspicious.

He didn't say anything at the time and let the caravan pass.

But then he sent people to follow and reported the matter to Shang Lu and Wu Zhu using witchcraft talismans.
