Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 344: It’s your own fault and you won’t survive

A hint of surprise also flashed across the face of the older witch officer.

He had just watched the whole process and did not notice when Shang Lu secretly hid these paper figures on Shaoyang's body.

Not to mention anything else, based on this ability, if someone really wanted to kill him, Shaoyang would probably have died long ago.

After watching the paper figures fly away with the wind, he turned around, glanced at Shao Yang, whose face was pale, and snorted coldly:

"Are you scared now? People who climbed up from the bottom step by step are never simple. If you dared to mess around just now, breaking your hands and feet would be the least of your worries. Even if he killed you, neither we nor the Witch Academy can help you get revenge."

"Just relying on these paper figures?"

Although Shaoyang was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat, he was still somewhat unwilling to accept it.

But he also admitted that if he had really done something wrong just now, even if he died, the Guling County Witch Court would not help him to take revenge, and might even "whip the corpse" to distance himself from the matter.

The older witch officer sneered and asked back: "Haha, do you think it would be easy for him to hide on you as a backup paper figure with his cunning and caution?"

Shao Yang was speechless for a moment, but he was somewhat unwilling to accept it, and whispered: "Is this the end of the matter?"

"if not?"

The older witch looked at him and warned him, "The harm caused by prophecies is extremely great. We must immediately investigate and must not let personal grudges affect the important work!"

Shaoyang cursed in his heart: You haven't been slapped in the face by Shanglu, so you don't have any back pain when you talk!
He did not dare to say this out loud, and could only complain in his heart, and then lowered his voice even lower, so that only his two companions could hear:

"We can pass on the news that Shang Lu has arrived in Guling County back to the Witch Academy..."

"Do you want our witch academy to be embarrassed along with you?"

Shao Yang didn't need to finish his words, the older witch officer immediately guessed his intention and his face suddenly darkened.

"The battle between you and Shang Lu today must have been reported back to the Baiyi County Witch Academy by him. If we challenge him again and lose, we will be laughed at by the people of Baiyi County! And it will be equally embarrassing if we win, because the people of Baiyi County will say that we are fighting in a round-robin battle and cannot afford to lose, just like Shang Lu ridiculed us just now."

Shaoyang's face also looked ugly.

Because he knew that what the older witch officer said made a lot of sense.

Even if the Witch Academy received the news, it would most likely restrain students at all levels and prevent them from bringing shame to the Witch Academy again.

But Shaoyang was still unwilling to give in.

If he just let it go like this, wouldn't the beating he received be in vain?
Feeling indignant, he suddenly thought of something that could be done, and blurted out, "Isn't it said that the person who spread the prophecy is likely to be a spy from the enemy country? How about we think of a solution..."

"Shut up!"

Before Shao Yang could finish his words, he was interrupted by the older witch officer.

As a result, the witch officer named Zhou also stared at him with a frown.

Both of them guessed Shaoyang's intention.

This was an attempt to divert trouble, to induce the enemy's spies to fight against Shang Lu, and to let the enemy's spies help him get revenge.

The older witch officer lowered his voice and scolded: "Although we have conflicts with the Baiyi County Witch Academy, they are all internal conflicts. Shang Lu and I are also brothers in the same sect. If you dare to come up with such an idea, whether it succeeds in the end or not, you will become the common enemy of the two academies... No, the five academies! What, are you planning to defect to the enemy country?"

"No...I didn't..."

Shaoyang's already pale face turned black with fright at this moment. His voice trembled and he wanted to defend himself, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know what to say.

"It's best if you don't have it!"

The older witch looked at him deeply, and didn't seem to want to ask any more questions. He just said, "Now, put all your thoughts into investigating the prophecy!"

"Yes Yes."

Shaoyang agreed repeatedly and didn't dare to have any extraordinary thoughts again.

The older witch officer took advantage of his distraction and exchanged glances with the witch officer named Zhou.

The latter immediately understood what he meant, quietly took out the jade token of the Witch Academy, and reported the matter to the people in the Discipline Department.

No matter whether Shaoyang was acting impulsively or what happened, they have to report it to the Discipline Department, and let the Discipline Department handle it.

Otherwise, once the Discipline Department gets to know about this, and the two of them don’t report it, they would be considered accomplices in covering up the crime.

They don't want to pay for Shaoyang's stupidity.

It was at this time that the three witch officers felt a cold wind blowing on their backs.

They reacted extremely quickly, their faces changed as they made hand gestures and chanted spells, or sacrificed magical weapons, or released ghosts, etc.

However, there was nothing behind them except a gust of wind, and all their attacks failed.

"illusion?"

The three witch officers looked at each other, and finally looked at Shanglu, who had walked away so far that only a small black dot remained.

"Is this another trick he is hiding from us? Is he trying to warn us?"

With the paper figures they had seen before, the three witch officials all felt that this was not impossible.

The older witch officer and the witch officer named Zhou glared at Shaoyang at the same time, hating their companion for his stupidity and his outspokenness.

If what Shaoyang just said was heard by Shang Lu and then reported to the Baiyi County Witch Academy, things would be troublesome.

The older witch officer immediately took out the jade token and reported the matter to the Witch Academy, praying in his heart that Shang Lu would not encounter any accident in Guling County, otherwise even if it had nothing to do with them, it would probably be blamed on them.

As for Shao Yang, he originally wanted to give him a chance to make merit in investigating the case of prophecies, so that when the Discipline Department intervenes later, his merits can offset his crimes.

But now, Shaoyang can only wish for the best.

At the same time, Shang Lu, who was riding away, was listening to Sanniang repeating Shaoyang's words. Just now, Sanniang stayed with the three Guling County witch officials and heard their words clearly.

"There are quite a few idiots among wizards."

Shang Lu shook his head. Shaoyang’s stupidity was not in his IQ, but in his EQ.

Without any hesitation, he immediately reported this matter, along with the chaos of prophecies he had just heard, to Lu Dao, Zhongli Dawu and other people from the Discipline Department.

After thinking about it, he sent messages to several teachers in the Witch Academy who had added them, as well as Hua Xuelu and the dragon and tiger stone statues.

Master Long and Master Hu were the first to reply, telling Shang Lu not to worry, as the people in Guling County would not dare to touch him.

Soon, Lu Dao also replied with a similar message.

He told Shang Lu that the Wuyuan had already sent an inquiry to Guling County about the matter, and no one dared to act recklessly.

At the same time, Lu Dao attached great importance to the prophecies and rebellions reported by Shang Lu.

According to what Lu Dao said in the message, he has reported to the Discipline Department and suggested launching a large-scale investigation in Baiyi County to prevent such vicious incidents from happening again.

At the end of the message, Lu Dao also told Shang Lu that he, Zhongli Dawu and others had returned to the Witch Academy.

"The mountain ghost who pretended to be a god and deceived believers has been killed by the great wizard Zhongli, and even his head has been brought back to the wizard academy!"

After reading Lu Dao's message, Shang Lu breathed a sigh of relief. The cunning mountain ghost was finally killed. It was really not easy.

After that, Shang Lu received many replies one after another.

They all told him not to worry, as they had already reported to Guling County. After the Guling County Witch Academy learned about this, it sent out witch officers from the Discipline Department to investigate and deal with Shaoyang, who had evil intentions.

They also told Shang Lu that if he encountered any danger or needed help, he could go find the people from Guling County. They had already agreed to do their best to ensure his safety.

Hua Xuelu was the only one who replied with a picture of a panda eating bamboo.

Shanglu didn't understand what it meant... Did it mean that it was just a bamboo-eating spectator?
In any case, after the teachers reported the matter to the Witch Academy and the Witch Academy negotiated with Guling County, they no longer had to worry about their safety in Guling County.

So for the rest of the journey, Shang Lu and his companions walked with a swagger and vigor.

We arrived at Longmen Town that afternoon.

Longmen Town is not in the same county as the place where the Chenwei Rebellion broke out, but even so, it was still greatly affected.

When Shang Lu and his companions arrived at the town, it was in a state of chaos and devastation.

The streets were deserted, with almost no one to be seen. Only a few dogs were wandering around, all with confused looks on their faces, as if they didn't understand why the humans in the town had suddenly disappeared.

However, Shang Lu and the others were still in the town and met people.

They heard some crying and shouting, so they rode over and found that it was a group of hooligans who stayed in the town, going door to door collecting money and other valuables.

Most of the people in the town had already fled, but the ruffians did not run away. One reason was that they wanted to make some money in the chaos, and the other was that they planned to act as guides and seek a future when the Chu army arrived.

These people have no sense of family and country, they just want to make a fortune.

As they searched house to house, they encountered a few families that had not yet had time to leave, or were unable to leave.

So the search turned into robbery.

There are even cases of bullying of men and women.

When Shang Lu and his men rushed over after hearing the noise, they saw a few hooligans trying to rob a woman, and they wanted to do it in front of her bedridden husband and crying child.

"Kill them all!"

Shang Lu snorted and gave the order without any hesitation.

At times like this, severe punishments must be used to deter the villains.

"Order!"

Du Feng, Tu Bin and a few thieves immediately rushed forward.

The hooligans were no different from being cut into pieces by them, as they were like cutting melons and vegetables, and they were quickly killed.

The rescued woman pulled her child and was about to kneel down, but was stopped by Shang Lu.

Du Feng and Tu Bin were very experienced. They found some wooden poles, chopped off the heads of the hooligans, strung them up on strings, and placed them at the end of the streets.

After that, they patrolled Longmen Town and caught and killed several hooligans who were causing trouble.

Zhu Quan was sent by Shang Lu to the county town where Longmen Town belonged, and asked the county to send people quickly to pacify and bring back the people who were deceived by the prophecy before they went far.

"It can trick people into abandoning their homes and running away... The art of prophecy is truly powerful! No wonder all countries regard it as a scourge."

Although the art of prophecies and divination mostly deceives ordinary people.

However, if ordinary people are deceived too often, it will in turn strengthen the art of prophecies and increase its power.

The chief officer of the county where Longmen Town is located also responded quickly.

As soon as he received the news, he immediately sent people to chase the people who were instigated to flee the disaster by the prophecy.

At the same time, a team of yamen runners were also sent over to prevent any more ruffians from causing trouble or thieves from taking advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble.

After Shang Lu and his companions stayed in the empty Longmen Town for a night, on the next morning, people were dragged and persuaded to come back one after another.

Shang Lu and his companions did not stay in Longmen Town for long. After a short rest, they went to Panlong Valley to look for the Blood Sky Mine.
