Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 36 Is there smoke coming out of the ancestral grave? (Please read on!)
Shang Lu carried the bodies of Xu Biao and Huang Bao and walked quickly to the wall on the right side of the side courtyard. He performed the ape-walking technique and climbed to the top of the wall through the gaps between the bricks, as nimbly as a monkey flying over the treetops.

When I looked out, I saw that all the people outside were gathered near the gate, and a few burly men were banging on the door. No one paid any attention to this side of the wall.

The Chinese prickly ash climbed over the courtyard wall and landed on the ground.

With the help of the Monkey Walk Technique, his movements were light and nimble, and even when he was carrying two people, no sound was made when he landed.

Sanniang followed him and carefully wiped away the remaining footprints on the wall.

The members of the Black Wind Gang who were surrounding the gate of the courtyard had no idea that someone had already escaped from the side courtyard.

In fact, some people thought about whether to build walls around the house, but they were smart enough not to do so.

In the side courtyard, besides the gang leader, there are also guards. If someone really wants to escape, they won't be able to stop him with their strength and will only end up getting stabbed.

Your life is your own, there is no need to work so hard.

Shang Lu and Sanniang had both walked far away before the gate was pushed open.

The members of the Black Wind Gang rushed in and saw a pool of blood under the eaves and a corpse lying in the pool of blood.

They were stunned by the scene.

After a few breaths of dead silence, a scream broke through the rainy night:
"The gang leader is dead - the gang leader was killed -"

"boom--"

Another flash of lightning flashed across the sky, as if celebrating Zhao Hai's death.

Soon, the news of Zhao Hai's death spread throughout the compound.

The members of the Black Wind Gang rushed to the side yard, wanting to see with their own eyes whether their leader was really dead.

Various rumors were also spreading rapidly within the compound.

Some people say that Zhao Hai was killed by Yuan Guilong.

Because the brothers guarding outside the side courtyard heard Zhao Hai's questions before his death, asking Yuan Guilong why he wanted to kill him.

Shang Lu also didn't expect that Zhao Hai would yell like that, thus providing a lot of "witnesses".

Some people also said that it was not only Yuan Guilong who killed Zhao Hai, but also Xu Biao.

Because Yuan Guilong alone could not kill Zhao Hai, even with the help of his other three brothers. Moreover, Xu Biao was by Zhao Hai's side at the time. If he did not turn against him, the only ones to die would be Yuan Guilong and his four brothers.

The most important thing is that after the incident, Xu Biao disappeared. He must have run away with Yuan Guilong and others!
Some people also said that Zhao Hai was being pursued by an evil ghost.

Over the years, Zhao Hai not only opened gambling dens and brothels, but also sold addictive Dengxian powder, loaned out high-interest loans, and kidnapped people. He had ruined many families.

After these people died, their resentment could not be dispelled and they turned into evil spirits. On this stormy night, they came here to claim lives and seek revenge!

There were many different versions of the rumors, all of which sounded reasonable, making the people of the Black Wind Gang even more confused. They didn't notice that Shang Lu not only left the compound but also ran out of the farm carrying two corpses.

Outside the farm, Shang Lu and Sanniang repeated their old tricks and quickly dug a deep pit to bury the bodies of Xu Biao and Huang Bao.

Unfortunately, this time, he only found some scattered silver on the two people, and did not find any good things like cultivation experience, martial arts secrets, etc.

After filling the hole, Shanglu and Sanniang sneaked back into the compound.

At this time, the members of the Black Wind Gang had not yet recovered from the chaos.

Some people clamored to track down the murderer and avenge Zhao Hai, but many people responded verbally, but few took actual action.

No one was stupid. No matter who killed Zhao Hai, whether it was Yuan Guilong, Xu Biao, or the evil ghost from the underworld, they were not capable of dealing with it.

Asking them to track down the murderer and avenge Zhao Hai? Isn't that the same as asking the wild ghosts in the mass grave to challenge the Queen Mother of the Underworld in the Wu Temple?
Zhao Hai is dead, who is he showing his loyalty to?
Someone is clamoring to split up the gang. The gang leader is dead, and the left and right protectors and the Four Vajras are nowhere to be seen. The remaining small leaders are unwilling to submit to each other and all want to be the boss, so they simply discuss splitting up the gang. You take the gambling den and I get the brothel.

Some people even took advantage of the chaos to steal things in the village.

These people from the Black Wind Gang are hooligans themselves. How can they have any discipline?
When Zhao Hai was alive, even if they coveted the valuables in the compound, they didn't dare to take them. But now Zhao Hai is dead, Xu Biao and others are nowhere to be seen. If they don't get some benefits quickly, they will miss this opportunity in the future.

Shang Lu was not interested in what these people stole or robbed.

His target was the cellar where Zhao Hai hid his money.

He originally thought that it would take a lot of effort and time to find it.

As a result, Sanniang waved her hand, motioning him to follow, and took him to an inconspicuous, remote hut in the southeast corner of the compound.

It looked like a storage room and there was no one around.

Sanniang walked straight into the house, stood on the floor, and stepped lightly with her foot to signal Shanglu.

Shang Lu still had something he didn't understand, so he hurried up and found a secret door in the place where Sanniang indicated.

After opening it and going down, inside was the cellar where Zhao Hai hid his money.

Gold, silver and copper coins were piled all over the floor, along with several useless silver balls.

In his two lifetimes, Shang Lu had never seen so much gold and silver.

At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Sanniang is really professional when it comes to finding things underground!

In addition to gold, silver and other valuables, Shang Lu also found several books in this cellar, all of which were related to cultivation. He did not have time to read the specific contents in detail, so he put them in his arms and studied them slowly after returning.

There were too many things in the cellar to carry, so Shang Lu went back out and found some sheets.

He folded the sheets together, put the silver ball on them, stuffed some gold ingots and gold leaves in them, then packed them up and carried them on his shoulders using the Bear Walk Technique.

With Shanglu Tongmai's entry-level cultivation, he can perform the Bear Walking Technique, which is enough to carry objects weighing thousands of pounds.

Even so, Shang Lu had to divide it up several times, and only with the help of Sanniang did he move all the valuables out of the cellar.

With Sanniang's help in keeping his vision, Shang Lu, even though he was carrying a large bag, was not discovered by the Black Wind Gang and avoided them in advance.

Shang Lu did not take the gold and silver treasures home, but buried them in a remote place.

It is too risky to take these things back home directly. The best way is to hide them in the wild, wait for a year or two, then dig them out and bring them back to use them bit by bit.

After doing these things, Shang Lu did not return to the farm compound, but rushed back to Shuanggui Village with Sanniang.

Seeing them return safely, Shang Mingqiu and Wu Guizhi finally put their minds at ease.

Shanglu took off his straw raincoat and bamboo hat, his body was already soaked.

Wu Guizhi quickly brought a towel and asked him to dry his body to avoid catching a cold. She also found a set of Shang Mingqiu's clothes and asked him to change into them temporarily.

Shang Mingqiu waited until he wiped the water off his body and changed his clothes before asking about the result.

"never mind."

Shang Lu said with a smile, his tone so calm that it seemed as if he was not just killing a few masters of the Black Wind Gang, but just clearing the weeds in the field.

"It's good that it's okay."

Shang Mingqiu nodded, wanting to learn from Shang Lu's calmness, but his trembling voice betrayed him.

His heart was indeed filled with shock.

A few months ago, his son was still a "corpse" lying in a coffin, waiting to be buried.

Who could have imagined that in just a few months, the once-powerful Black Wind Gang in Luoshui County would actually fall into his hands.

I really don’t know what kind of surprising things he will do in the future?
Could it be that smoke is really coming out of the ancestral grave of our old merchant?
