Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 249 Going to the Witch Academy Again
After leaving Mingyue Lane, Shang Lu didn't walk far before he saw the local headman, who was accompanied by several constables from the urban and rural county governments, gathered at the door of a tavern.

The owner and the waiter of the tavern were also at the door, pointing at a broken door panel and saying something to the head of the tavern and the constable.

Shang Lu saw this scene from afar and immediately understood the situation. He turned his head and glared at Hei Yun, scolding him: "Not only did you break in, you also kicked the door to pieces? Well, you are an official, but you broke into people's houses and robbed them. You know the law and break it!"

Heiyun kept calling out and raised his horse's hoof and shook it, as if to say: I didn't mean to kick the door to pieces, it's just that it's too fragile.

Then he shook his head again and again. I don't know if he was denying that he had committed the burglary or saying that he was a beast and didn't know the law, so he wasn't breaking the law knowingly.

"I'll take care of you when I get back!"

Shang Lu cursed angrily and walked towards the tavern with Heiyun.

Heiyun hesitated and refused to move forward, and was scolded by Shang Lu again: "Do you know you are wrong now? Why didn't you think about this when you stole the wine before?"

When I got closer, I just happened to hear what the tavern owner and his waiter were saying.

The shopkeeper answered the question of the constable: "No money or property was lost, but the door was kicked and several bottles of wine were lost. This thief is also strange, he didn't steal anything but wine."

The clerk said, "I was sleeping in the store. Suddenly I heard a loud noise in the middle of the night. When I was about to get up to check, I saw a black wind sweeping in and blew me unconscious. I don't know what happened afterwards."

Just as the wardens and several detectives were about to enter the wine shop to collect evidence, Shang Lu came over and said to them, "There's no need to investigate this case. I know who stole the wine in the shop."

Hearing this, several detectives turned their heads to look at Shang Lu, frowned and asked, "Who are you?"

Fortunately, the head of the neighborhood knew Shanglu.

Yesterday, Shang Lu moved to the haunted house in Mingyue Lane. The neighborhood chief came over to inquire about the situation, so he knew Shang Lu's identity.

Seeing Shang Lu coming, he hurriedly saluted and introduced him to the detectives: "This is the new thief Cao Yuan of the thief Cao Office, Lord Shang Lu."

At this time, Shang Lu also cooperated and took out his badge as a thief Cao Yuan.

Seeing this, several constables hurriedly saluted with their arms crossed and said in unison: "Greetings, Mr. Shang."

Shang Lu waved his hand and told them not to be so polite.

Then he took out a few pieces of silver from his sleeve pocket and handed them to the owner of the tavern.

The shopkeeper did not dare to answer and asked in surprise, "Sir, what do you mean?"

"This money is for compensation for the door and the wine."

Shang Lu pointed at Heiyun and explained, "It was my horse that kicked the door of your tavern and drank the wine. My horse has no other hobbies but to drink. It's also my fault that I didn't keep a close eye on it last night and let it slip away. I will keep a strict control on it in the future and will never let it harass the neighbors!"

Only then did everyone realize that the mysterious case in the tavern was actually committed by a horse, and they were all amazed.

The owner of the tavern suddenly realized what was going on, and then he kept refusing Shang Lu's compensation.

But Shang Lu was unwilling to take advantage of others, so he stuffed the silver into the hands of the tavern owner and kicked Heiyun, asking the idiot to apologize to the tavern owner and his waiters.

Heiyun lowered his head repeatedly and was almost about to kneel down.

After getting the forgiveness from the tavern owner, Shang Lu let go of Heiyun and led it away, leaving a group of people at the door of the tavern, discussing their feelings.

After resolving the incident caused by Heiyun's drinking, Shang Lu did not rush to leave the city, but went to Zhao Qi's house first.

The house is still blocked by the thieves' office, and there are people asking thieves to guard it, and no outsiders are allowed to get close.

Shang Lu was obviously not among the banned people. Seeing him coming, Qiu Dao, who was guarding here, hurriedly saluted.

"Brothers, you have been on guard all night. Thank you for your hard work." At this point, Shang Lu took out a handful of copper coins from his sleeve pocket and handed them to one of the thieves, saying, "Take this money and buy some breakfast so that the brothers can have some hot food to warm their stomachs."

The thief who took the money bowed and thanked him, "Thank you, Mr. Shang."

The other thieves also smiled and thanked him in unison.

Shang Lu gave them a few more instructions before walking into Zhao Qi's house.

Compared to yesterday, there were many more instruments in the house, all used for rituals.

Several wizards from the temple were jumping around in the house with bells, drums and other instruments in their hands, chanting spells hidden in strange melodies, in order to ask for divine power to purify the place from any evil spirits that might remain.

Wu Zhu Lu sat at the door of the dark room, closing his eyes and chanting spells. The witch energy on his body surged and transformed into curse seals.

This ritual will last for several days until Zhao Qi is executed, his head is chopped off and his soul is destroyed.

But Wang Chao is not here.

Shang Lu asked the thieves in the house and found out that Wang Chao was not good at performing this kind of ritual, so he handed it over to Lu Wuzhu to handle it. After receiving Shang Lu's message yesterday, he turned into a night owl and flew back to the witch academy.

After taking a look around and making sure that nothing was serious, Shang Lu gave some instructions to the thieves, asking them to assist Lu Wuzhu and the others, and then he left with Heiyun.

After leaving the city, he rode on the Black Cloud and headed straight for Longya Mountain.

Just like any other day, although it was early in the morning, quite a few people had already gathered in the wine shops and tea houses outside the Longya Mountain Witch Academy.

What was different from yesterday was that today, when these people saw Shang Lu coming, they neither sat idly by nor waited to watch the fun. Instead, they took the initiative to come forward and strike up a conversation with Shang Lu.

"Meet the Demon-Suppressing County Lieutenant!"

"I didn't expect that the Demon Suppression County Lieutenant would also come to the Witch Academy. I am truly honored to have him here."

"Hello, Senior Brother Shang. I am Sha Wanli from Huangfeng Town. We will be fellow disciples in a few days. Let's get to know each other first."

"Shang County Lieutenant... ah, no, I should call you Shang Zeicao. What's going on in the Witch Academy? Can you tell us about it?"

"Brother Shang, do you know what the freshman assessment for the Witch Academy is about?"

Facing these people, Shang Lu was very polite. He dismounted, bowed and returned the greetings, answering them one by one:

"Hello everyone, it's my honor to meet you...

I went to the Witch House yesterday for a case, so I was in a hurry and didn't know what was going on inside the Witch House...

Yes, we are fellow disciples from now on. Please take care of me...

What does the Witch Academy test? I don’t know either. I was admitted through an interview…”

Shang Lu's attitude made the people guarding the Witch Academy very satisfied.

It was the words “admission without test” that sounded a bit harsh.

They surrounded Shang Lu, asking him questions at once, making it difficult for him to move.

This went on for a while, and finally the dragon and tiger stone statues at the entrance of the Witch Academy started to shout, "What's wrong with making so much noise outside the Witch Academy? Disperse now!"

This sentence was as deafening as thunder.

No one dared to offend the dragon and tiger stone statues and hurriedly retreated to the tavern and teahouse.

Shang Lu breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the entrance of the witch academy, used his back to block the curious gazes of the people behind him, saluted to the dragon and tiger stone statues, and whispered: "Disciple thanks Dragon Master and Tiger Master for helping me out."

"He's quite a smart guy."

The dragon statue coiled on the stone pillar snorted.

Shang Lu was also inspired. He took out a stick of incense from his arms, lit it, and offered it to the stone statues of the dragon and tiger.

"Hehe, this kid is really a smart guy." The tiger statue grinned.

The door of the witch academy slowly opened.

The two stone statues said in unison: "Go in."
