Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 215: Scholars Present Books
Shang Lu, wearing the pangolin armor, practiced the Five Spirits Skills and the Spirit Snake Whip Technique, then called Sanniang and Huai Shu to help him with his moves.

He wanted to better hone his strength and master power through actual combat.

But Sanniang did not leave, she just asked Uncle Huai to fight with Shang Lu for a few moves.

She took a small piece of freshly cut Tai Sui meat, minced it, mixed it with rooster blood, glutinous rice and other things, and fed it to the eggs of the centipede.

These centipede eggs looked harmless to humans and animals, but after smelling the blood, they were no weaker than ferocious and poisonous insects. They rolled over like pupae, lay on the food, and continuously swallowed and absorbed it through the egg wall.

After feeding the centipede eggs, Sanniang raised her head and looked through the red veil at Shanglu, who was struggling and in a miserable state under the attack of Uncle Huai.

At this time, Shang Lu also understood why Sanniang did not leave.

Wearing the pangolin armor, he was like carrying a mountain on his back, which greatly affected his speed and strength.

In such a situation, Uncle Huai alone was enough to overwhelm him, so why would Sanniang need to take action?
But despite his embarrassment, Shanglu was very excited.

As his cultivation level improved, he hadn't felt this embarrassed during training for a long time.

He likes this feeling.

It’s not that there’s anything wrong with him, but he feels that the more embarrassed he is during training, the greater his improvement will be.

After being hit by Uncle Huai for several times, Shang Lu lay on the ground, gasping for breath and shouting: "Stop, I can't take it anymore, I need to rest for a while."

It was really difficult to fight against someone while carrying a mountain. After a few moves, Shang Lu was exhausted.

Fortunately, as he regained his blood and energy, the pangolin lost its weight and did not crush him.

Shang Lu activated the Divine Turtle Art from the Five Spiritual Skills, adjusted his breathing, and soon entered a mysterious state of tortoise breathing, quickly recovering his physical fatigue and blood energy.

After a moment, Shang Lu, who had recovered, stood up again.

Seeing this, Uncle Huai immediately waved the branches and wanted to continue fighting with him.

It has been a long time since it had such a satisfying fight.

"Wait a moment."

Shang Lu quickly took off the pangolin armor on his body and waved, "Come on."

He wanted to try out the feeling after taking off the armor, to see if his control and use of strength had improved during the previous training.

However, when he saw him taking off his armor, Uncle Huai refused to do it and quickly put away the branches.

"Hey, what do you mean?"

Shang Lu was stunned for a moment, then reacted, "So you hit me so hard just now not to help me exercise, but to avenge the beating I gave you before?"

What are you talking about? It’s been a long time since I had such a good fight.

I see you haven't beaten me so hard in a long time!

The branches of the locust tree shook, as if saying: It’s good that you know it.

Shang Lu was not going to do it anymore and said, "No, you have to practice with me again, come on!"

After arguing for a while, Uncle Huai suddenly pointed outside the yard with a branch.

Sanniang also spoke at this time, interrupting the quarrel between the man and the tree: "Someone is coming."

"Who is it? Du Feng or Tu Bin? Did something happen in the government office?"

Shang Lu frowned, handed the pangolin to Sanniang to put away, and then he heard a knock on the door.

At the same time, a strange voice sounded: "Excuse me, is the Shang County Magistrate at home? I am Tian Chang, and I came to visit you specially."

"Tian Chang?"

This name felt unfamiliar to Shang Lu, yet he seemed to have seen it somewhere.

After a brief recollection, Shang Lu remembered that the scholar who was bewitched by the black beast in Yunxi Town was called this name.

According to the interrogation, although Tian Chang became a believer of the beast after being bewitched and protected it, he did not do anything substantial to harm anyone.

Therefore, the government did not sentence Tian Chang, but only fined him and sent him to a witch temple for treatment and transformation to correct his worldview that had been distorted by the blackmail.

The fact that Tian Chang was able to leave the Witch Temple showed that he had been almost reformed and his world outlook, values ​​and outlook on life had been restored.

"But why did he come to me? Could it be that he wanted revenge?"

Shang Lu guessed in confusion.

After thinking about it, I went to open the door.

Before in Yunxi Town, he was able to defeat Tian Chang.

His strength now has improved compared to when he was in Yunxi Town.

Moreover, he has Sanniang and Huaishu at home, so even if Tian Chang really has bad intentions, he can be captured again.

"Crench."

As the courtyard gate opened, Shang Lu saw Tian Chang standing outside the door.

Compared to his appearance in Yunxi Town, Tian Chang has lost a lot of weight, but he is in much better spirits.

Seeing Shang Lu open the door, Tian Chang bowed to the ground and said sincerely: "Greetings, Lord County Lieutenant. I am here today to thank you for saving me!"

Shang Lu was stunned, thinking, could it be that this man has lost his brain due to the instigation of the blackmailing beast?
Back then in Yunxi Town, I almost beat him to death. Does this count as a favor of saving him?
Tian Chang noticed Shang Lu's surprise and explained:
"The county lieutenant saved me with his mind, not his body!

If it weren't for the county lieutenant, I would have been sinking deeper and deeper into the path of aiding and abetting evil.

Although I had not harmed anyone at that time, I had already been bewitched by the perverse theories of the false beast. It would not be long before I would kill people and relatives like those foolish men and women. "

After a pause, Tian Chang smiled bitterly and said, "I am ashamed to say this. I thought I had made great progress in my studies and wanted to go to Wushan to seek an official position. When I passed by Yunxi Town, I heard the people there talking about the heresy of the false beast. I originally wanted to go there to eliminate evil for the people, but because I was not good at my studies and had a weak will, I was deceived by the false beast's heresy."

"You can't be blamed for this." Shang Lu consoled him, "That liar is good at deceiving people, and is quite knowledgeable. He can talk about any theory, and he makes it sound very convincing. It's not surprising that he deceived you. As long as you admit your mistakes and correct them, it's a good thing."

"Thank you for your comfort, Lord County Lieutenant."

Tian Chang bowed again and said, "I know that I was bewitched by evil because I am not good enough in cultivation and righteousness!
If I have a righteous spirit, even if the false beast is eloquent and speaks in a fantastic way, it cannot confuse my mind or seduce me!

So I came here today, not only to thank the county lieutenant, but also to say goodbye.

I have no intention of seeking an official post. Instead, I want to travel around the country, strengthen my will, and improve my righteousness.

In addition, I have to train my ability to reason with others, so that when I encounter such evil spirits in the future, I can appeal to their emotions and reason with them.”

After listening to what Tian Chang said before, Shang Lu still thought that this person was a good person.

But after hearing his last sentence, I felt that this man was a bit pedantic.

"I'm afraid a demon like the Black Beast won't listen to your reasoning, right?"

Tian Chang shook his head: "The demons don't listen because I'm not strong enough. As long as I'm strong enough, they won't dare to disobey. Even if they really don't listen, I can beat them and make them obey."

Wow, it turns out that this is how you appeal to people’s emotions and convince them with logic?

Now it was Shang Lu's turn to feel that he was being old-fashioned.

He couldn't help but look at Tian Chang's hands, thinking, could it be that these two fists, one calling for love and the other for reason?

No wonder Tian Chang lamented that his cultivation was not good enough just now. To be honest, one really needs a strong fist.

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly saw Tian Chang take out something from his arms and handed it to him with both hands.

"I don't have any valuables with me. The most precious thing is this book. I am giving it to you, Lord County Lieutenant, to repay you for saving me."
