Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 21 Performance test begins!
Shang Lu sensed Sun Ying's hatred, he turned around and smiled at Sun Ying.

Don't worry, our accounts will be settled after the performance evaluation is over.

Shang Lu and Sun Ying both made up their minds to deal with each other after the performance evaluation.

It's hard to say that this is not a kind of telepathy.

But Sun Ying misunderstood Shang Lu: "What does he mean by smiling at me? Is he trying to please me? It's too late!"

Shang Lu didn't expect that Sun Ying was so trustworthy.

He turned his gaze to the focal point in the training ground again, looking at the two wizards, his heart full of questions.

Why would a witch come to Luoshui County?
Could it be that the two captains Niu and Ma reported the strange information about Yunhua Mountain?

That's not right. If the witch official came here to investigate something strange, he should have gone directly to Yunhua Mountain instead of coming to the county town to preside over the performance evaluation.

Moreover, judging from the reactions of the two captains Niu and Ma, as well as the expressions of the chief clerk, the county magistrate and others, they were all shocked and confused.

They obviously didn't know that a witch officer would come.

Especially Captain Ma, his face looked grim, as if his entire family had died.

But if it wasn't for the strange situation in Yunhua Mountain, why would the witch come to Luoshui County?
Two of them came at once. Are they really just to preside over the performance evaluation?
When will these officials in Luoshui County be able to enjoy such extraordinary treatment?
Not only Shang Lu was curious, but everyone in the training ground was also guessing the purpose of the two witch officials' visit.

Du Feng tilted his head and listened to the discussions around him, feeling very excited.

He grabbed Shang Lu and said, "Boss Lu, are these two witch officials really here to pick new people for the witch academy? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You must perform well and try to catch the eyes of the witch officials..."

At this point, Du Feng suddenly remembered that Shang Lu's five internal organs were damaged and his cultivation was completely lost.

Not only will he fail to impress the witch officer, he won't even pass the performance test.

His excited expression froze and he scratched his head in embarrassment: "I'm sorry, Lu Tou, I forgot about your physical condition..."

If it was someone else, Shang Lu would definitely suspect that the other person was trying to deceive him.

But as for Du Feng, Shang Lu believed that he definitely did not mean that.

This guy is a straightforward person. It's no problem for him to chop people, but if he is asked to be sarcastic and mean to others, that would be the end of him.

"Alright, alright, no need to apologize, don't I know you?"

Shang Lu waved his hand and said with a smile: "You only think about me, don't you want to show yourself?"

Du Feng sighed and shook his head: "Today is the day for your official performance examination. How can we, the unemployed, have the opportunity to show our talents? Besides, being selected by the Witch Academy is harder than winning the jackpot in the lottery. I am not that lucky."

Shang Lu nodded in agreement.

To enter the Witch Academy, there are strict requirements on age, cultivation, and talent. It is no exaggeration to say that it is like a thousand troops crossing a single-plank bridge.

Not to mention anything else, just the cultivation requirements of the Marrow Cleansing Realm are something that no one in the Luoshui County Government can achieve.

At this time, the county magistrate and the chief clerk had already welcomed the two witch officials.

The two sides stood at the entrance of the training ground, saluted each other, and said a few words.

Because the distance was too far, everyone in the training ground was talking and the noise was deafening. Shang Lu and Du Feng couldn't hear what they were saying at all.

However, judging from the expressions of the county magistrate and the chief clerk, they seemed very surprised and wanted to ask further questions, but due to the environment, they had to give up.

Afterwards, the county magistrate and the chief clerk led the two witch officials all the way to the shed in the training ground.

The chief clerk of the clerk's office had been waiting here for a long time. As soon as the two witch officials took their seats, he immediately handed a thick account book to the chief clerk.

"My Lords, this is the record of the merits and demerits of the officials in my Luoshui County Government. Please check it."

The chief clerk held the book of merits and demerits and handed it to the older witch officer.

The merits and demerits of the county magistrate and the chief clerk were not recorded in this merit and demerit book. Their merits and demerits were recorded by the county government, and the two witch officials had already checked them clearly before coming to Luoshui County.

The older witch officer took the book of merits and demerits, flipped through it, and then handed it to his companion who came with him.

In previous years’ performance appraisals, just checking the merit and demerit books would take up a great deal of the appraisal officers’ time, and it would take several days to finish reviewing them.

Even so, this is the case when the performance evaluation officer has sufficient subordinates to assist him.

But this year, there were only two witch officials who came to Luoshui County, and no subordinate officials.

However, the witch official also has his own unique methods.

After the young witch official took the book of merits and demerits, he did not open it in a hurry.

He made hand gestures, quickly chanted a spell, and then wiped his face with his hands, and suddenly his face changed. The original young witch official, although not as handsome as Shang Lu, was also handsome.

But at this moment, in the blink of an eye, he turned into a green face with fangs, and three eyes on his forehead, which was extremely weird.

If you look closely, it looks like he is wearing a mask.

Holy shit, Sichuan Opera face changing?!
It was the first time for Shang Lu to see a witch perform a spell. It felt similar to the Sichuan Opera face-changing in his previous life?
The young wizard wearing a mask of a god or ghost opened the book of merits and demerits, flipping through the pages one by one very quickly.

The two large copper bell eyes of the demon mask flickered with strange green flames. The third eye on the forehead even shot out a beam of green light, shining on the merit and demerit book.

It seemed that with just a glimpse of green light, the young wizard could fully grasp the contents of the page and distinguish true from false.

The magistrate and the chief clerk must have seen similar witchcraft before, and their reactions were different.

The chief clerk was very nervous and kept wiping his sweat, while the magistrate looked like he was waiting to watch a show.

When the young wizard was checking the merit and demerit book, the older wizard also spoke.

He didn't shout loudly, so his voice was clearly heard by everyone in the classroom.

"Officials who are taking the cultivation assessment, stay in the training ground and keep a distance from each other. The rest of the people, please leave and wait outside the training ground."

"Lu Tou, I'm going to leave the training ground first. Come on, you do your best."

After saying this, Du Feng probably felt that it was useless for Shang Lu to cheer him up, so he turned to comfort him:
"Lu, don't be sad if you can't pass the performance test. Being alive is the most important thing. If you need money to pay off your debts, I can lend it to you."

Shang Lu was stunned for a moment, then he became curious: "Didn't you give all your money to your old mother?"

"I still left some money for my wife." Du Feng said in a very low voice, afraid that people around him would hear.

Shang Lu couldn't help laughing, and without rejecting his kindness, he nodded.

"Okay, if I fail the test, I'll borrow money from you."

"no problem."

Du Feng patted his chest and agreed, then followed the other white servants and retreated out of the training ground.

However, this guy did not wait patiently, but ran to find those white-duty constables who had jumped ship early and started scolding them in the face.

Those people knew they were in the wrong, so they didn't argue with him. Instead, they turned around and squeezed into the crowd to avoid the fight.

Shang Lu laughed and shook his head, retracted his gaze and looked at the witch officer in the pergola.

Although he had not participated in the performance examinations in previous years, he had heard that the performance examinations consisted of several rounds of tests: first, testing strength with stone locks and other objects, then practicing swordsmanship and martial arts, and finally, there were group confrontations and other items.

But this time the assessment will be presided over by a witch official. I wonder if the assessment method will be different from previous years?
As Bai Yi left, the training ground suddenly became empty.

In Luoshui County, there are more than sixty clerks of various types on the payroll, but among them, civil positions like the Six-Room Clerk have no cultivation requirements and do not need to take part in cultivation assessments, only their work performance needs to be assessed.

So, after the large number of white servants left, there were only about forty people left on the training ground.

The older witch officer then asked the leaders of the three shifts and other department heads to stand at the front of the team, separated from the ordinary clerks.

After doing all this, he raised his hand and took out a black cloth bag from his sleeve.

There were some mysterious and terrifying runes painted on the bag, and dirt was falling off it.

The older witch officer made a hand gesture, made a few gestures on the cloth bag, then opened the bag, took out two handfuls of beans and threw them out.

One handful was soybeans, which grew bigger in the wind. By the time they rolled in front of Zhengyi, they had become almost as big as a millstone.

Immediately afterwards, thick bean sprouts grew out of the soybeans and became their hands, feet and weapons.

The other handful was black beans, which went straight to the foremen such as the Niu and Ma captains.

"Spreading beans makes an army!"

This scene caused constant exclamations inside and outside the classroom.

The voices of the crowd still could not drown out the words of the older witch officer.

"Defeat the bean soldiers and you will pass the test!"

The older wizard ignored the crowd's exclamations and directly announced the start of the assessment.

As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers on the training ground pounced on their respective targets like hungry tigers coming down the mountain to hunt.

Extremely fast! Amazing power!
