Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 313 Something happened?

Chapter 313 Something happened?
Shang Lu led Hei Yun out of Mingyue Lane.

The rascal who had been guarding the alley entrance all night was taking a nap against the wall. When he saw him come out, he quickly perked up and bowed to greet him.

Shang Lu nodded slightly as a return gesture.

He walked past them, but suddenly stopped, turned around, waved his hand and threw a few copper coins to these ruffians.

"Take it and buy some wine to drive away the chill of the night air."

These ruffians never imagined that a big shot like Shang Lu would actually care about them, give them money and let them buy wine to ward off the cold. They were immediately excited and thanked him repeatedly.

Shang Lu started as a grassroots constable and rose through the ranks step by step.

He knew very well that although these ruffians were weak, they were all local tyrants.

If used in the right place, it can play a significant role.

A few copper coins are nothing to Shang Lu, but they can win people's hearts, so why not do it?

After leaving Mingyue Lane, Shang Lu did not rush to the Witch House, but took Heiyun and went to the Thief Cao's Office first.

Now that he is back, he has to report for duty every day.

Although he was the chief officer of the Bandit Cao's Office and did not report for duty, the people below him did not dare to say anything.

But leaders should lead by example, and as the chief officer of the Bandit Cao's Office, he must set a good example.

On the way, Shang Lu was thinking about Sanniang's divination last night.

I have to say that Sanniang is indeed talented in divination.

He was clearly a beginner and was trying to use tortoise divination for the first time, but he actually divined the truth.

According to Sanniang, he was seriously injured and died while arresting a wanted criminal more than a year ago.

From that day on, his fate became chaotic.

Life and death are intertwined.

The person is clearly dead, but he is still "alive" and it is impossible to see his fortune and future.

"Fortunately, Sanniang didn't become suspicious of me because of the divination result. Eh, could it be that she already knew about my situation?"

Shang Lu was guessing in his heart as he walked.

He quickly arrived at the Thieves' Office and walked into the main gate. He happened to see Shentu and several other Thieves' officials gathering the clerks, thieves and others in the office in the yard for a report.

Seeing Shang Lu coming, everyone hurriedly bowed and greeted him.

Shentu and several other thieves' officials came quickly to Shang Lu with the list in hand and asked him to report.

"Just order it."

Shang Lu waved his hand and did not take the roster. He just ordered: "After the roll call, let's go to my office."

"Yes." Several thieves' clerks bowed and accepted the order.

They waited until Shang Lu left the yard before continuing to report for duty.

Before, there were clerks and thieves who were listless when they responded to the report, but now they adjusted their state and responded loudly one after another.

If someone spoke loud enough, they would be scolded by Shentu and others, telling them to "speak louder, we can't hear you."

If the voice is loud enough, you will get praise like "Good, very energetic".

After a while, several thieves' clerks who had finished their roll call came to Shang Lu's yamen.

Shang Lu did not chat with them, but directly issued the task and asked them to lead the team to various counties in the county.

“You have two main tasks: First, to supervise the counties and arrest bandits.

I came to the prefecture from Luoshui County to take up my post, and I encountered several groups of bandits along the way. If these are not eradicated, how can the people live in peace?

It will be difficult for you to get good results in the year-end assessment.

Another task is to investigate spies!
We have had a conflict with the State of Chu in the Xingshan area, and there is no guarantee that there won’t be spies from the State of Chu or other countries sneaking in to cause trouble.”

Both of these tasks are hard work.

If it was when they first arrived, even if everyone agreed verbally, they would pretend not to obey, and try to be cunning and sly in the execution.

But now, Shang Lu and the bandit Cao Shu have repeatedly made great achievements.

He was also very generous. He did not take all the credit for himself, but instead distributed the lion's share to his subordinates.

Everyone in the thief Cao's office benefited from this. Whether it was merit or reward, they all received a lot during this period.

Under such circumstances, everyone in the Thief Cao Office not only admired Shang Lu's ability, but also had no doubts. At the same time, his prestige in the Thief Cao Office also rose rapidly, even surpassing another Thief Cao official Chen Li.

So at this moment, even though Shang Lu assigned them a tough task, no one complained and they all accepted the order with their hands clasped.

Because they knew that no matter what the final result of these two tasks was, as long as they did it seriously, Shang Lu would never treat them unfairly.

After discussing the general direction of the mission, Shang Lu handed over the specific arrangements to these thieves' officials.

Let them discuss and implement it themselves.

He only left Shen Tu behind and ordered him, "Send someone to tell the thief Cao Tong about these two tasks.

In addition, during this period, I go to the Witch Academy to study every day.

If there is any problem in the office, you should go to find Chen Zeicao. If you can't find him, you other Zeicao officials will discuss and deal with it.

If there is something serious that you are unsure about, and I am not at the office or home, go to the entrance of the Wuyuan on Longya Mountain and ask the dragon and tiger stone statues to help find me. You must be respectful to the dragon and tiger stone statues. If you lose your manners, you will be punished, and I will not be able to save you. "

After finishing the explanation, Shang Lu asked again: "Did you remember it?"

"remember."

Shentu not only nodded, but also repeated Shanglu's instructions.

After making sure that Shentu had truly remembered everything and had not missed anything, Shang Lu let him leave the yamen.

Shang Lu did not stay in the thief Cao's office for long. He immediately took Heiyun with him, left the office and went to the witch hospital.

He only waited until the class was over before returning to the office to ask about everyone's work today. There was nothing wrong along the way. When he arrived at the entrance of the Witch Academy, Shang Lu burned incense to the dragon and tiger stone statues as usual, and chatted with the two "gatekeepers" for a while before entering the Witch Academy.

Leading Heiyun, he went straight to the outer courtyard where the classes were held.

What Shang Lu didn't expect was that a teacher from the external school was already waiting outside the school building.

Seeing the black cloud coming, the teacher urged: "Hurry up, class is about to start."

Then he frowned again and told Shang Lu: "Bring Black Cloud earlier next time, don't be late and delay its class."

"Okay, teacher. I'll come earlier next time." Shang Lu quickly agreed, but he felt a little amused and helpless in his heart.

He never expected that at this moment, he would experience the feeling of being scolded by the teacher when sending his child to school...

You're going to be late so you have to scold Heiyun, why are you scolding me?
If this guy had run faster on the road and hadn't stuck his head into a tavern every time he passed by to inhale a few sips of alcohol, he wouldn't have wasted so much time.

Several students from other colleges not far away looked indignant when they saw Heiyun walking into the school with his head held high.

Everyone gnashed their teeth and gathered together, discussing in low voices:

“This dead horse is back again!”

"Damn it, the teacher is going to scold us again today, saying that we are worse than animals!"

"A horse can actually show such an arrogant expression. Is there any justice in the world?"

"No, we have to find a way to teach this horse a lesson so that it won't be so arrogant and won't dare to come to class with us again..."

Hearing that someone really wanted to teach Heiyun a lesson, another student from the outer courtyard beside him suddenly sneered: "Teach it a lesson? Haha, you can try it."

The man who made the harsh remark was stunned when he heard it, and said with some surprise: "Brother Xu, what do you mean by this? If I remember correctly, didn't you say before that you would teach this horse a lesson? Why is there no movement?"

The man called Senior Brother Xu couldn't help but twitch his lips twice, and groaned: "Go and try it, and you will know why there is no movement."

The person who made the harsh remark was not stupid, and he could hear the hidden meaning in Brother Xu's words.

After a little consideration, he decisively chose to give in.

But he still had to be tough on the surface: "Forget it, considering that it is not easy for an animal to open its spiritual orifices and understand human nature, I will spare it and let it continue to attend the class. Who says I am kind..."

Shang Lu heard the whispers of these external college students and said to himself, "As expected."

Master Dragon and Master Tiger helped protect Heiyun in secret before he asked for help.

"It's not enough to just burn incense, we have to thank Dragon Master and Tiger Master."

Shang Lu began to think about it, and at the same time left the outer courtyard school and headed straight for the inner mountain.

At this time, there is still an hour or so before Shang Lu’s first lesson in the inner mountains, which is suitable for cultivation.

So Shang Lu was not in a hurry.

He planned to find Gongshu Ling first to ask about the production of the magic weapon.

By the way, he asked if his new hand drum could be repaired.

On the way to the inner mountain, Bai Lingxu finally replied to the Feixun message.

Bai Lingxu: "Brother, I have a secret method to make animals speak human language. But your horse is not strong enough to learn this method. But don't worry, I have another way to make your horse speak human language."

Shang Lu: "What method?"

Bai Lingxu: "Give it tongue worms."

Phytolacca: “What are tongue worms?”

Bai Lingxu: "You can think of it as a kind of poisonous insect. After an animal takes it, the tongue worm will parasitize on their tongue and gradually replace their tongue. It will also establish a connection with their brain and help them express their thoughts in human language."

Shang Lu raised his eyebrows, feeling that the tongue worm was a little strange, so he asked: "If I use the tongue worm, will there be any side effects?"

Bai Lingxu: "We are all brothers, so I will not hide it from you. Tongue worms do have side effects. They will absorb the host's blood and cultivation as nutrients. If the host is seriously injured and too weak, it may take over the host's body."

"let it go."

Shanglu flatly refused to use the tongue worm.

He didn't want the black cloud to be taken over by tongue worms and turn into a monster one day.

It is better to let Heiyun practice on his own and learn to speak human language.

It's a bit slow, but safe.

Bai Lingxu was not disappointed even though he didn't make the deal.

He also sent a message: "Brother, if you need anything else in the future, you can come to me. I am a person who values integrity in business and I guarantee that I will never cheat anyone! Even if you need information, you can come to me and I will definitely find out. In addition, during this period of time, I will also help you find out if there are other ways to make animals speak."

Seeing this, Shang Lu replied: "Thank you, Senior Brother. Please take care of me."

Then he put away the Witch Academy Jade Token.

At this time, he also came to Gongshu Ling's instrument-making workshop.

This cave is the same as the one Shanglu came here before.

From the outside, it looks like an ordinary cave, nothing strange or mysterious.

Shang Lu was about to greet Senior Sister Gongshu when he suddenly felt a violent and chaotic energy suddenly explode in the cave.

The loud rumbling sound was deafening.

The cave shook violently, and a large amount of dust flew out.

The entire mountain was shaking.

Shang Lu was shocked when he saw this.

Something happened in Sister Gongshu’s instrument-making workshop?

He hurried to rush in to help.
