Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 206 The Dutiful Son

Although Witch Officer Jiang's words were a bit exaggerated, if the soul of the Chu wizard really escaped, they would indeed be criticized and punished by the Witch Academy.

So the two witch officials expressed their gratitude to Shang Lu in addition to being surprised.

"It was just luck. I just felt that this mask was suspicious, so I wanted to destroy it just in case. I didn't expect that the wizard's soul was hiding in it. Fortunately, I had the Nuo mask that Feng Wuguan gave me, otherwise, with my skills, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to hold it."

There is both truth and falsehood in what Shang Lu said.

However, thanks to his eloquent speech, Feng Boyuan and others believed it.

A witch official also sighed: "Shang County Lieutenant's sharp intuition is really enviable. On the road of cultivation, sharp intuition can not only help people avoid detours, but also turn danger into fortune and drive away evil spirits and avoid disasters."

After praising Shang Lu for a few words, Witch Officer Jiang took out his flying boat and wanted to go back with Feng Boyuan to take the soul of the Chu wizard and interrogate him.

At the same time, we also have to go and see how the great witch is dealing with the poisonous corpse.

The other two witch officers were left behind.

Before Feng Boyuan left, he warned, "Junior Brother Xu, Junior Brother Qiu, you two stay here and work with County Magistrate Shang to conduct a comprehensive investigation of this valley to prevent any fish from slipping through the net. In addition, all the witchcraft spells and witch formations here must be cleared to prevent evil spirits from using these things to harm people in the future."

"Yes." The two witch officers Xu and Qiu bowed and accepted the order.

Shang Lu ordered Feng Nan: "Take our people and follow the witch officers. Don't miss any corner! In addition, cut off the heads of the spies and the evil spirits, and deal with their bodies to prevent them from turning into corpses."

Whether they are secret spies or evil heretics, they are not ordinary people.

Many of them are practicing spells related to corpses and ghosts.

Although the souls of these people were destroyed at the moment of their death, there was still a lot of evil spirits left in their bodies, which could easily cause them to transform into corpses.

If any animals eat their corpses, they will go crazy and cause harm everywhere, so they must be dealt with as soon as possible.

"Leader!"

Feng Nan bowed in response, then immediately led his men and followed the two witch officials back to the tomb.

However, they did not take the secret passage. Instead, two witches performed a ritual. They plucked a leaf and used magic to make it grow into a boat, and then they took Feng Nan and a few others to stand on it.

A gentle breeze blew, and the small boat slowly rose into the air and flew towards the entrance of the tomb.

Shang Lu did not follow them, but sat cross-legged here.

As the Nuo mask on his face spontaneously combusted into ashes, the borrowed divine power quickly flowed out of Shang Lu's body like the receding tide.

Also flowing away was his own blood and energy.

This is a side effect of using Nuo mask.

Originally Shang Lu thought that his muscles and meridians would break at this moment, just like the last time he borrowed the magical power of the mountain-splitting general.

The result is not.

Not only that, Shang Lu felt that his body was also enveloped by a warm force.

This power constantly nourishes him, bringing great benefits to his internal organs, meridians, blood vessels, etc.

At the same time, a murmuring divine voice was heard in Shang Lu's ears.

However, the divine language this time was different from what I had heard before.

Not only was there no feeling of noise or chaos, but it actually made Shang Lu relax both physically and mentally.

It was like lying in my mother's arms as a child, listening to a lullaby. I had had this feeling before in the main hall of the Wu Temple dedicated to Hou Tu Niang Niang.

Shang Lu did not waste this opportunity. He immediately visualized Xuanwu in his mind and practiced the Xuanwu method of the Five Spiritual Skills.

The Xuanwu method is mainly based on stillness, which is most suitable for the current situation where one cannot move.

The blood and energy stored in the liver god were continuously absorbed by Shanglu as the Xuanwu practiced, allowing his body, which had been drained of divine power, to recover.

Tu Bin took two county soldiers with him and stayed with Shang Lu. Seeing that Shang Lu had entered a state of cultivation, the three of them immediately placed him in the center to protect him.

The sky soon brightened.

After a night of training, although Shang Lu did not fully recover his blood and cultivation, he was able to stand and walk.

He did not continue to practice near the cave, but returned to the tomb to direct the follow-up work on site.

Outside the tomb, the headless corpses were piled up into a small hill.

Following the witch officer's instructions, the county soldiers cut down pine and cypress trees from the surrounding mountains and forests, used them as firewood, piled them on top of the corpses, and poured flammable materials such as kerosene on them, waiting until noon when the sun was at its hottest to ignite them.

The raging fire devoured the corpse and completely eliminated the possibility of corpse transformation.

As for the heads of these people, Shang Lu sent people back to the county town.

Part of it will be hung on the city wall, and the other part will be carried on bamboo poles by the constables and paraded through the villages and towns in Luoshui County for public display.

This is to warn the hidden evil spirits not to act recklessly, otherwise they will end up dead!
As soon as Shang Lu finished arranging the heads, Liu Zhi came in front of him, saluted with his arms crossed, and said, "Sir, we have found out whose tomb this is."

"Whose?"

Shang Lu asked curiously, the scale of this tomb is not small, it has reached the level of a king or a prince, but in Luoshui County, he has never heard of any royal family.

"It was built by Zhao Hai, the leader of the Black Wind Gang, for his father." Liu Zhi said.

"I didn't expect that Zhao Hai is quite filial." Du Feng exclaimed in amazement.

He also arrived here last night, but because of his low level of cultivation, he did not enter the tomb. Instead, he followed Captain Niu and others to guard and search the periphery.

"What's filial piety?"

Liu Zhi said, "Zhao Hai built this tomb because he found a fortune teller who said he had the destiny of becoming a king, a prince or a general, but the location of his ancestral tomb was not good, so he could only hide in the grass.

The fortune teller told him to move his grave here, saying that the feng shui here was excellent. As a result, he not only built a tomb here that was worthy of a king, but also, when the tomb was completed, in addition to moving his ancestors' graves here, he killed his father and buried him directly in there."

"Wow, killing him now?" Du Feng was shocked.

Shang Lu was also amazed, this Zhao Hai is truly a filial son.

After being surprised, Du Feng shook his head and said, "That fortune teller is not that good. Zhao Hai moved his ancestral grave here, but he didn't become successful and was completely eradicated."

Qiu Wuguan on the side snorted coldly: "The Feng Shui of this place is indeed good, but Zhao Hai is too impatient. If he had only built an ordinary tomb, he might have been able to rise to prominence. But he built a royal tomb right from the start, and he couldn't bear the consequences, so he naturally suffered a backlash."

"Does Feng Shui have such an effect?" Shang Lu asked curiously.

Qiu Wuguan said: "Of course there is, otherwise the State of Chu would not have sent secret agents to dig up tombs and destroy Feng Shui, thus destroying the fortune and destiny of the country."

Shang Lu nodded, and suddenly had a guess in his mind. The Chu wizard chose this place to hide. Could it be related to Feng Shui?
