Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 243: Entering the Witch Academy
Without waiting for the black cloud to get close, Shang Lu kicked the ground with his feet, flew up and jumped onto the horse's back.

"Out of town!"

Shang Lu didn't even need to pull the reins. He just patted Heiyun's head, and the latter immediately turned around and galloped out of the city.

The streets of the city were crowded with people, but Heiyun was agile and with Sanniang floating in front to help clear the way, he did not hit any innocent passers-by.

On the way out of the city, we met several teams of patrolling soldiers.

Seeing Shang Lu riding his horse in the city, they immediately wanted to stop him: "Horse racing is strictly prohibited in the city, why don't you stop immediately!"

Whenever such a situation occurred, Shang Lu would hold up his badge as a thief's official, and with his eloquent tongue, he would respond loudly: "The thief's official is investigating a case, and the situation is urgent!"

When the patrolling soldiers heard that it was the people from the Thief Office who were investigating the case, they quickly moved out of the way to avoid delaying the case, and even helped evacuate passers-by along the way.

After leaving the city, Shang Lu raised his hand and pointed to Longya Mountain in the distance, pulled Heiyun's ear, and ordered: "Go there."

Heiyun made a "whispering" sound to show that he understood, and at the same time shook his head vigorously, shaking off Shanglu's hand that was pulling his ear, and galloped towards Longya Mountain.

When in the city, Heiyun did not drive at full speed because there were many people on the streets.

Now that they were out of the city and without any restraint, the black clouds accelerated to their maximum speed, like a black whirlwind, whistling past.

Many passers-by on the official road only heard that something "swish" passed by without seeing clearly what it was.

This gave rise to some rumors, saying that there was a black wind demon lurking on the official road outside the city, specifically kidnapping lone men...

After a journey of thirty miles, the black clouds soon arrived.

Longya Mountain was originally called Longya Mountain because of its steep terrain, which looks like a tooth rising from the ground. Locals said it was a dragon's tooth.

Later, the Witch Academy was built here, and because they thought the name "Longya" was not nice, they changed it to "Longya".

The Witch Academy is located halfway up Longya Mountain. The road up the mountain has been specially repaired and is very easy to walk on. Horses can run on it as if they were walking on flat ground.

Shang Lu rode on the black cloud and soon reached the halfway point of the mountain.

On a flat area, I saw a group of buildings built against the mountain.

The entire courtyard was shrouded in mountain fog.

Apart from the tightly closed gate and two stone beasts, a dragon and a tiger, at the door, you can only vaguely see the courtyard wall.

It is impossible to see what is going on inside the courtyard through the mountain fog and the courtyard wall.

Outside the courtyard, about twenty or thirty meters away, there are several sheds.

Under the shed there is either a sign with the word "Tea" or a sign with the word "Wine".

There were actually quite a few people sitting in the teahouses and wine shops in these mountains.

There are men, women, young and old, speaking in different accents, talking and chatting here.

Shang Lu saw this scene from afar and was not surprised.

Although he had just arrived in Chengxiang County today, while looking for a place to stay, he learned a lot of information about the Witch House from two officers of the Bandits' Office.

He knew that these people were all coming to the Witch Academy to "take the exam."

Because these people came from different places and arrived in Chengfeng County at different times, the Witch Academy made a rule to conduct assessments on the first day of every month.

If you miss the test date, you will have to wait until next month to take the test.

If you fail the exam, you will have to wait at least three months before you can take the next exam.

Today is not an examination day, but there are still quite a few "candidates" gathered outside the Witch Academy.

One reason is to make friends.

People who come here may be admitted to the Witch Academy in the future, and may even become fellow students. It won’t be wrong to get to know them earlier.

It would be even better if I could get to know the witch officials in the witch academy in advance.

As for the other hand, the spiritual energy around the witch academy is richer than anywhere else.

Those who come to "take the exam" have cultivation levels above the entry level of marrow cleansing.

There were even quite a few people who, like Shang Lu, had begun to prepare for Qi Refining. When they were around the Witch Academy, they would feel physically and mentally relaxed, and their practice would be twice as effective with half the effort.

In addition, they gather here so that if the Witch Academy has anything to announce, they will be the first to know.

At this moment, the people gathered in the teahouse and wine shop also saw Shang Lu coming on horseback.

Seeing that Shang Lu did not slow down at all, riding his horse past the teahouse and wine shop and heading straight for the gate of the Witch Academy, these people were ready to watch the fun.

Some people even showed expressions of gloating.

"Hey, here comes another one who doesn't know the rules."

"He doesn't even bother to think about why we're all resting here."

"Those two guys guarding the entrance to the witch academy are not in a good mood. This kid is going to be in trouble!"

"If anyone knows a little bit, they can come over to say hello to us and ask for advice. They won't make a fool of themselves in public..."

Shang Lu was not wearing a wizard robe, so he obviously couldn't be a wizard from the wizard academy, and everyone was waiting to see him make a fool of himself.

Under their gloating gazes, Shang Lu rode his horse all the way to the gate of the witch academy.

The stone statues of dragon and tiger at the entrance of the witch academy suddenly "came to life".

The stone tiger jumped up to stop Shanglu, while the stone dragon rode on a cloud of mist, hovering in the air, looking down at Shanglu.

The two stone statues opened their mouths at the same time, making deafening sounds like dragon roars and tiger roars.

"Haha, the kid is going to be thrown over."

Everyone in the teahouse and wine shop was waiting for Shang Lu to be dealt with.

However, the development of things was completely different from what they expected.

Shang Lu dismounted from his horse amid the shouts of the dragon and tiger stone statues, took out something from his arms and handed it to them.

In the eyes of everyone, the bad-tempered dragon and tiger stone statues suddenly changed their attitude after seeing what Shang Lu handed over.

Not only did they not throw Shanglu and his horse to the teahouse and wine shop, they even opened the door of the witch academy and let Shanglu in.

"What happened? How did he get in?"

"We are all here to take the entrance exam to the Witch Academy. Why is he able to enter while we have to wait outside?"

"Did the rules change? Let's go over and ask."

Immediately, a few impatient people used their light body skills and rushed to the entrance of the witch academy.

However, unlike Shang Lu, they were not allowed into the witch academy by the dragon and tiger stone statues. Instead, they were still refused entry and even scolded.

If they hadn't had a good attitude, they would not have been rejected or scolded, but would have been thrown back to the teahouse or wine shop.

After a while, these people returned to the wine shop and teahouse, and were immediately surrounded and questioned curiously.

"The man just now is different from us. He got a recommendation letter from a wizard official and was exempted from the entrance examination. In other words, he doesn't need to take the exam and is already a disciple of the Wizard Academy. The dragon and tiger stone statue will naturally let him into the Wizard Academy."

As everyone suddenly realized what was going on, they couldn't help but wonder, "Which noble family's disciple is this?"

The person who went over to inquire about the news shook his head and said, "You are wrong. The man just now is not from a noble family. He got the letter of recommendation from the witch official entirely by his own ability."

"There is such a person? Who is he?" everyone asked curiously.

"Have you ever heard of Luoshui County's Demon-Suppressing County Lieutenant?"

There are indeed quite a few people here who have heard of the name of the Demon-Suppressing County Lieutenant, and they all said, "So it's him, this is not surprising."

But there were also some who had never heard of it, and they hurriedly asked people around them. They were very curious about how a county lieutenant could get the nickname of Demon Suppression and how he could get the witch official to recommend him.

"You will know if you go to Luoshui County. The heads hanging on the city walls are all those of evil monsters. There are more of them than the bacon and smoked meat hanging in the kitchen of a restaurant..."

Shang Lu never imagined that his reputation as the Demon-Suppressing County Lieutenant would spread in this way and in such a place.

At this moment, he was in a daze when he entered the Witch Academy.
