Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 248 Decision

Shang Lu came out of the cell and met an official sent by the county government to deliver orders.

The official told him and Chen Li:
"The county governor was furious about Zhao Qi's crime and sentenced him to immediate execution. The execution will take place at Caishikou at noon the day after tomorrow! You must keep an eye on Zhao Qi in the next two days and make sure he doesn't make any mistakes."

Shang Lu and Chen Li crossed their hands and said, "Yes, sir."

After the official conveyed the order, he reminisced about the past with Chen Li, got to know Shang Lu, and then said goodbye and left.

Shang Lu also wanted to go home, so he left the thief's office with him. On the way, he asked, "Brother Zhang, you work in the county governor's office. Do you know a clerk named Liang Jihu?"

The official nodded and said, "I know him. How come he is an old acquaintance of the merchant thief Cao?"

Shang Lu shook his head and explained the reason: "His aunt is a witch in Luoshui County and has helped me a lot. Before I came to the county seat, his aunt asked me to help bring a letter from home to him."

The official said, "That's right. But Liang Jihu has asked for leave, so I'm afraid it will take some time before I can give him your letter."

Shang Lu asked curiously, "Why is he asking for leave? Isn't his family in the county town?"

The official told him: "I don't know the details, but it seems that his elders are sick and he has to go back to take care of them. Liang Jihu has a residence in the city, but his elders don't live in the city."

"I see." Shang Lu nodded and thanked the official: "Thank you, Brother Zhang, for telling me. This saved my trip."

The official smiled and said, "It's just a small matter, why thank you? When Liang Jihu comes back, I will tell the merchant Cao about this matter and ask him to come find you."

Shang Lu bowed again: "Thank you, Brother Zhang."

After leaving the thief Cao's office, the two men bowed and said goodbye. The official was going back to the county magistrate's office to report, while Shang Lu went home.

By the time he stepped into Mingyue Lane, all the furniture for his newly bought house had been delivered.

Uncle Huai changed into human form, took the money from Sanniang and settled the bill.

At first, the craftsman who delivered the furniture was reluctant to enter the house.

After all, this place is a notorious haunted house, but Uncle Huai couldn't resist giving them money for tea, and it was quite a lot, so he helped move the furniture into the house.

When Shang Lu returned to the house, Uncle Huai had turned back into the appearance of a locust tree and was using branches to drive away birds and help clean the newly delivered furniture.

Qin's mother and daughter also helped.

However, they could not see Sanniang, but because of this, they were full of curiosity and fear of her.

"I am back."

Shang Lu pushed open the gate and greeted them with a smile, just like the days in Luoshui County.

After asking Sanniang for a hug, he greeted Uncle Huai before turning his attention to Qin's mother and daughter.

"Zhao Qi has been arrested and taken to the thieves' office. He confessed to murdering your family of three. The government has sentenced him to immediate execution. The execution will be carried out at Caishikou the day after tomorrow. When the time comes, I will take you and your daughter to watch the execution."

After hearing Shang Lu's words, Qin's mother and daughter knelt on the ground together, tears and blood streaming down their eyes, and kowtowed repeatedly to express their gratitude.

"Thank you, my Lord. Thank you, my Lord."

"We can finally avenge our grievances! The law is long and the net of heaven is vast. The thief Zhao Qi will not be able to escape!"

"Get up."

Shang Lu waved his hand, and two streams of blood flew out, helping Qin's mother and daughter up.

"You can stay here for the next two days."

After all, this house was the old residence of Qin's mother and daughter. If they were to be driven away, they really had nowhere to go. Shang Lu simply let them continue to live here. After all, after Zhao Qi was executed, the resentment of Qin's mother and daughter would be gone, and the cause and effect would be settled. It was time for them to report to the underworld. "Thank you, benefactor, thank you, Lord Qingtian."

Qin pulled her daughter and tried to kneel down again, but Shang Lu's blood was still there, so they couldn't kneel down this time.

Shang Lu waved his hand and said, "Okay, I'm going to start practicing."

Erya hadn't reacted yet when she heard this, but Qin Shi understood and pulled her daughter aside, saying, "Don't worry, benefactor. We will definitely not disturb your practice."

Shang Lu nodded, and without saying anything more to Qin's mother and daughter, he walked to the center of the yard.

At this time, Sanniang brought up today's portion of Qi Hai soup and bloody meat paste.

Shang Lu thanked him but did not rush to eat. Instead, he used internal observation to check the condition of his internal organs, the evil spirits and the Pure Evil Pill.

At this time, the demon soul and the Evil Purifying Pill had been almost completely digested by the spleen god, and transformed into a lot of fine substances.

As Shang Lu's cultivation level improved, the spleen god's digestive ability was also greatly enhanced. If it were in the past, it would take several days to completely digest the demon soul and the evil-purifying pill.

Part of the fine substance transformed by the spleen spirit turned into blood and qi, strengthening Shanglu's cultivation. The other part was sent into the sea of ​​qi to repair it.

In addition to the benefits, Shang Lu also discovered that after the demon soul and the Jingshou Pill were digested, some toxins that could affect people's mind and thinking were generated.

These toxins are first refined by the heart spirit with the heart fire, and then absorbed by the liver spirit, and can be eliminated from the body at any time.

I just don't know whether these toxins that can affect people's minds and thoughts come from the demon souls or from the Evil Purification Pills.

After checking the condition inside his body, Shang Lu drank the Qi Hai soup and the bloody meat paste, and activated his skills to repair his Qi Hai.

It was the next day in a blink of an eye.

Early in the morning, Shang Lu finished his morning exercise, changed into dry clothes, said goodbye to Sanniang and Uncle Huai, and kicked Heiyun who was dozing off in the yard.

"Get up and follow me out."

Yesterday, due to the delay of Zhao Qi's case, although he went to the Witch Institute, he was unable to report.

Today he planned to report to the Witch Academy early in the morning and see if there were any methods of teaching how to draw in and refine Qi in the Witch Academy.

Heiyun was kicked and stood up staggeringly, snorting loudly and emitting a strong smell of alcohol.

This guy actually ran out to buy some wine early in the morning.

Chengxiang County is worthy of being the county seat, and the waiters in the tavern are well-informed. Unlike in Luoshui County, when Heiyun first went to buy wine by himself, the waiters were so scared that they thought it was a monster.

Seeing this, Shang Lu scolded, "I have to set rules for you in the future. You can only drink when I allow you to, and you have to control the amount. Otherwise, when you develop a drinking habit, something bad will happen sooner or later."

When Heiyun heard this, a flattering smile immediately appeared on his face.

Unfortunately, Shang Lu didn't buy it and snorted, "It's no use trying to please me, so it's settled. If I find out that you drank without my permission, don't blame me for punishing you!"

Heiyun drooped the horse's face and kept hitting the horse's nose. Although Shang Lu could not understand horse language, he could guess that the horse must be cursing, and the curses were quite ugly.

Walking out of Mingyue Lane with Heiyun, Shang Lu suddenly remembered something and turned around to ask, "Hey, where did you get the money to buy wine? Is there any wine shop open this early?"

Heiyun paused and even stopped cursing.

Shang Lu understood everything at this moment.

"Damn, you broke into the tavern and drank some wine?!"
