Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 222 Farewell
After carefully putting away the letter of recommendation and transfer documents, Shang Lu bowed solemnly to Feng Boyuan.

In addition to thanking him, I also have a favor to ask of him.

"Officer Feng, I am going to the Witch Academy to study this time. I don't know how many years it will take. My parents are still in Luoshui County. I would like to ask Officer Feng to help take care of them."

"It's natural."

Feng Boyuan agreed immediately.

"Just study hard when you go to the Witch Academy. I will send soldiers to secretly guard your parents. If they have any problems, they can come to Yunhua Mountain to find me."

The soldiers and horses that Feng Boyuan was talking about were not ordinary yamen runners and county soldiers, but the paper figurines made and the rampant soldiers raised by their witch officials.

With these things secretly protecting each other, Shang Lu can indeed rest assured.

"Thank you, Wind Wizard."

"No need to thank me. As long as you practice hard in the Witch Academy, it will be the greatest reward for me."

This is not a compliment. Feng Boyuan is practicing the Creation Technique. Shang Lu is his "investment" object. As long as his cultivation level continues to improve, he will continue to benefit.

"And take this too."

Feng Boyuan flipped his hand, and wisps of witchcraft energy gathered in his palm.

After a moment, it condensed into a green leaf.

It looks very similar to bamboo leaves, but when you hold the Rhizoma Coptidis in your hand, it feels as hard as iron or stone.

Green light flickered on the bamboo leaves and turned into a piece of text.

It is a description of Shang Lu's identity, purpose of his trip, etc.

On the back of the bamboo leaf, there is a small portrait, and the person in the portrait is Smilax glabra.

Feng Boyuan introduced: "This is a talisman. If you are stopped on the way to the county seat, you can take it out to prove your identity. In addition, if you want to stay at a government post on the way, you can also use it for free."

Shang Lu understood that this thing was a pass, but it was issued by a witch official and was of a higher grade.

Shang Lu was no stranger to the road pass.

Some time ago, when they were investigating evil spies in the county, they checked this thing a lot.

Originally, Shang Lu planned to issue a travel pass for himself.

He is the county lieutenant and has such authority.

However, the talisman given by Feng Boyuan was more valuable, so he was not polite.

Feng Boyuan did not stay in the county lieutenant's office for long. He gave Shang Lu some things and gave him a few instructions. Then he put on his green Nuo mask, rode a gust of wind and flew into the sky. He disappeared in an instant.

As the Yunhua Mountain Secret Realm got on the right track, Feng Boyuan not only did not become idle, but became even busier.

It is not easy for me to come here in person today, and it is also fulfilling my original promise.

Not long after Feng Boyuan left, the county magistrate, who had received the news, hurried over.

Upon learning that Shang Lu was going to the Witch Academy, the county magistrate immediately patted his chest and promised that he would help Shang Lu take good care of his parents.

Shang Lu also knew that his parents were in Luoshui County, and it was impossible for him to trouble Feng Boyuan and other witch officials for everything.

If he encountered any problems, he might find the county magistrate here, so he crossed his arms and said, "Thank you, county magistrate."

The county magistrate said enthusiastically: "We are colleagues, why should I thank you? If you still remember me when you become successful, I will be very satisfied."

Then he sighed again: "If I wasn't too old, I would have wanted to go to the Witch Academy with you... What a pity, why didn't the Witch Academy recruit new students a few years ago?"

He shook his head, first lamenting that he was born at the wrong time, and then complained about his son's lack of ambition. Otherwise, he would have sold everything he had to send his son to the witch school.

After the county magistrate left, the head of the third shift and the chief clerk of the sixth office all came over to congratulate Shang Lu.

After thanking everyone, Shang Lu simply decided not to stay in the county lieutenant's office and planned to return to Shuanggui Village to explain the matter to his parents.

Shang Mingqiu and Wu Guizhi returned to Shuanggui Village after they built a mountain protection formation in the secret realm so that no evil outsiders dared to cause trouble in Luoshui County.

For them, Shuanggui Village is the place where they have lived for most of their lives. As soon as they open the door, they are right there with their fellow villagers. Whether they want to chat and drink, or need help with something, they can find someone quickly.

It was a completely different feeling from being in the county town, guarding a yard that no one dared to approach. Shang Lu naturally couldn't stop his parents from returning home, but he spent money to rebuild the old house and hired a few servants to serve them.

Shang Mingqiu and Wu Guizhi did not refuse this.

They are not stupid and they also want to live a good life.

Before leaving the city, Shang Lu first went to the witch temple to bid farewell to the witch.

The witch had expected this and took out a letter and handed it to him.

"Just take a letter to the county government for me. I have a useless nephew who works as a clerk in the county government. Well, if he had been willing to practice hard, he would have a chance to try his luck now that the Witch Academy is recruiting new members..."

Shang Lu agreed to the matter, took the letter and put it in his pocket.

When saying goodbye to the witch, he solemnly performed a thank-you ceremony.

Although Wu Zhu was not Shang Lu's teacher, he had taught him a lot of knowledge in the past few months.

There is no master and disciple in name between the two of them, but there is master and disciple in reality.

The witch doctor did not shy away and accepted Shang Lu's gift with a smile. After Shang Lu offered incense to Hou Tu Niangniang, he personally escorted him out of the witch temple.

After leaving the county town, Shang Lu rode on the Heiyun and rushed back to Shuanggui Village at lightning speed to explain the matter to his parents.

The two old people were mixed with joy and sorrow.

What made him happy was that his son was able to enter the witch academy.

When he comes out, he will be a witch official with a bright future and respected by the world.

I am worried that after my son leaves, I don’t know how many years it will take for him to come back.

Of course, the two old people are more happy.

Afraid that Shang Lu would see the worry in their hearts, they deliberately did not mention it. They only reminded Shang Lu that after entering the Witch Academy, he must practice well and bring honor to the old Shang family.

Afterwards, the old couple asked their servants to kill chickens and pigs, buy vegetables and wine, and treat the whole village to a buffet.

In my previous life on Earth, many families would hold grand banquets after their children were admitted to university.

Now Shang Lu can enter the Witch Academy without taking an exam, which is undoubtedly even more awesome.

The old couple Shang Mingqiu and Wu Guizhi want to show off in front of their fellow villagers.

Shang Lu certainly wouldn't spoil the mood by stopping his parents from being happy.

Besides, if you don't return home when you are rich, it's like walking in the night in fine clothes.

This guy must be pretending to be so powerful that his name will be the one that the villagers always mention when they are scolding their children.

Shang Lu stayed at home for a day and personally entertained the elders and fellow villagers who came to the banquet.

When the people in the village saw Shanglu, they showed a little more awe in their expressions, and even hesitated when picking up meat.

After Shang Lu entered the Witch Academy, he became a witch official.

This position is even more intimidating to ordinary people than a county lieutenant.

And being able to eat at the witch official's table is enough for them to brag about for the rest of their lives.

The next day, although Shang Lu got up very early, he waited until his parents woke up and greeted them before leaving home.

Shang Mingqiu and Wu Guizhi reluctantly sent Shang Lu to the village entrance.

When he arrived here, Shang Lu refused to mount his horse.

He took out a stick of incense from his bosom, lit it, and presented it to the god enshrined under the two osmanthus trees.

It is to maintain Sanniang's "transmission point".

He was also praying to this Lord God to help take care of his parents.

After worshipping the Lord God, Shang Lu turned around to leave, but found that his parents were staring at him in surprise with their eyes wide open.
