Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 31 Two Groups of People in the Heavy Rain

The rain at the turn of spring and summer comes suddenly.

After a few thunders and flashes of fire, there was a howling wind and heavy rain.

The rain was so heavy that it seemed as if a hole had been poked in the sky, letting the Milky Way fall to the earth.

Shang Lu gave his parents a few words of advice and looked at Sanniang. Just as he was about to ask her to stay at home as well, he heard Sanniang's gentle voice.

"Don't leave me alone. I'm not afraid of thunder and lightning."

"what?"

Shang Lu was a little surprised. He was not surprised that Sanniang knew what he was thinking, but he was surprised that Sanniang was not afraid of thunder and lightning.

Aren't all ghosts afraid of thunder and lightning? Is Sanniang's situation special?

But Sanniang is not afraid of thunder and lightning, which is indeed good news.

With her help, Shang Lu will be more confident.

"Okay, let's go kill the thieves together!"

Shang Lu smiled and nodded in agreement.

He put on a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat, put the oil-paper umbrella that Sanniang used to sleep under in his arms, then said goodbye to his parents and pushed open the door of the main room.

It was raining heavily outside. The ground was washed by the rain and had a muddy smell. The blood remaining outside the door was also washed away.

The heavy rain also forced the villagers in Shuanggui Village, who had been gathering in groups to chat about Shang Lu and the Black Wind Gang, to retreat back to their homes.

So Shang Lu went out without being seen by anyone.

Everyone thought that Shang Lu should be at home accompanying his parents and fulfilling his filial duties, but they didn't know that he had to go back to the city in the rain to eliminate the evil for the people.

As soon as Shang Lu stepped into the rain, the oil-paper umbrella that Sanniang was hiding under flew out of his arms, opened, and floated above his head, shielding him from the wind and rain.

Although there was lightning in the sky at this moment, the sun was nowhere to be seen due to the dark clouds. Shang Lu didn't have to worry that Sanniang would be hurt by the sun.

After glancing at the pretty figure holding the oil-paper umbrella and then looking down at the raincoat she was wearing, Shang Lu was smart enough not to say much. He just reached out and grasped the umbrella handle, saying softly, "Let me hold it."

Sanniang really let go of her hand and leaned lightly on Shanglu's shoulder.

If Shang Lu hadn't been carrying a knife and running so fast, it would really feel like a young couple walking in the rain.

While running, Shang Lu told the problem that had been bothering him for a long time.

"How did you get back? You couldn't have flown all the way back holding an oil-paper umbrella, did you?"

If she stayed in the sun for too long, Sanniang would probably get hurt, right? But looking at her current appearance, she didn't look like she was injured.

Moreover, if Sanniang really flew back holding an umbrella, the villagers of Shuanggui Village and the pedestrians on the official road would probably see her.

But on the way back, Shang Lu did not hear anyone talking about this matter.

"At the entrance of the village, at the temple, burning incense..."

Sanniang's voice was already vague and weak, and now with the interference of the heavy rain, Shang Lu could not hear it clearly. He could only vaguely hear these few words.

Fortunately, Shang Lu and Sanniang had developed a tacit understanding, and even with these few unclear words, he immediately guessed what she meant:
"You mean, the incense stick I lit at the village temple allowed you to be teleported directly from your home in the county town?"

"Yes." Sanniang nodded.

Shang Lu was amazed. He didn't expect that the incense stick he lit in the temple would have such an effect. It was like opening a teleportation point on the map.

No wonder Sanniang told him not to worry about his parents' safety when they returned to Shuanggui Village last time. It turned out that at that time, she was ready to rush back to protect her parents at any time.

Maybe in addition to the temple, Sanniang also left some means at home so that she could always keep an eye on her parents' situation.

This is also in line with Sanniang's character. She contributes silently, never seeks credit, and never complains.

"Sanniang, could you please not be so nice? I feel like I'm not worthy of you."

Shang Lu said jokingly, and then he was gently patted by Sanniang, telling him not to talk nonsense.

When he walked out of the village, Shang Lu went to the temple under two osmanthus trees and burned a stick of incense to the god of the temple. This was to thank the temple for helping to send Sanniang and save his parents from danger.

I am also afraid that the transmission to the temple is a one-time thing, so I burn incense and open it again.

It's strange to say, although it was raining heavily, not a single drop of rain water drifted into the small temple.

Even the incense and candles in the incense burner were not affected by the wind and rain.

The candlelight is bright and the smoke is curling.

After burning incense, Shanglu left the village and rushed to Luoshui County along the official road.

But he did not walk on the official road, but ran in the fields beside the official road.

Although it was raining heavily, Shanglu was still able to run as fast as the flying bird with the help of the bird-walking method.

In the Ren and Du meridians, Qi and blood circulate continuously, ensuring his physical strength.

The heavy rain came suddenly, and many pedestrians on the official road had no time to hide, and there was no place to hide. They could only hurry on in the heavy rain.

On the way to the county town, Shang Lu saw several familiar faces among the hurried figures.

"Isn't that Shi Fan and Chu Xing?"

These two people were once white-collar constables under Shang Lu. Later, they felt that he could not pass the performance test, so they switched to Sun Ying's subordinates.

Unfortunately, Sun Ying still failed to become a regular soldier this time. Shi Fan and Chu Xing regretted it very much, but they were too embarrassed to come back to Shang Lu, and they had no way to join other regular soldiers, so they could only continue to follow Sun Ying.

Shang Lu had also seen the few people who were traveling with Shi Fan and Chu Xing. They were all the white-duty constables who surrounded Sun Ying today.

Because the sky was dark and there was rain and fog, and Shang Lu was walking outside the official road and deliberately hiding his figure, Shi Fan, Chu Xing and others did not notice him at all.

However, Shang Lu had a clear view of Shi Fan and the others.

"They're not with Sun-young? What are they doing out of town?"

Shang Lu was a little surprised.

Sanniang, who was leaning against Shanglu, suddenly raised her hand and pointed in a direction.

Then Shang Lu saw Shi Fan, Chu Xing and others turning at an intersection and running in the direction Sanniang pointed.

In that direction, there stands a huge mountain.

"Are they going to Yunhua Mountain?"

Shang Lu guessed, "Captain Ma suspected that my improvement in cultivation was related to the strange fog in Yunhua Mountain, so he sent them to investigate?"

No matter what Captain Ma's intention is, it is always a good thing that he is willing to send people to Yunhua Mountain to continue investigating the strange situation.

In other words, Shang Lu was not in a position to expose his whereabouts, otherwise he would have to remind these white-collar constables to investigate, but not to easily enter the strange fog of Yunhua Mountain to avoid encountering strange dangers.

"Shi Fan and Chu Xing have previously investigated the strange situation at Yunhua Mountain with Du Feng. They should be aware of the situation and will not take risks easily."

Shang Lu withdrew his gaze and continued on his way with Sanniang.

The bird-walking method is very suitable for traveling. In a short time, Shanglu had walked more than half of the distance.

At this time, he saw three people traveling in the rain.

It turned out to be someone from the Black Wind Gang.

In such heavy rain, why did the Black Wind Gang leave the city? Are they going to Shuanggui Village?

Shang Lu had an idea and suddenly jumped onto the official road and stopped the group of people.

The members of the Black Wind Gang were startled and thought they were being robbed. They quickly put their hands on their waists and grabbed the sharp knives hidden under their straw raincoats.

At the same time, he stated his identity and shouted arrogantly:
"Where did this wild dog come from to block our way? Don't you know that Luoshui County is the territory of our Black Wind Gang? Do you want us to bleed you?"
