Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 366: Sanniang's Merit
As soon as he rushed out of the dormitory, Shang Lu saw a familiar red wedding dress floating back from the darkness.

This made him breathe a sigh of relief and feel relieved.

But his action still attracted the attention of Zhu Quan and Du Feng. They immediately came up, holding the hilt of the knife, carefully looked around, and asked nervously: "What's wrong, sir, did you find anything unusual?"

"Nothing, don't worry." Shang Lu shook his head. Just as he was about to find an excuse to get away with it, he saw the innkeeper's dog not far away, looking around furtively.

"Come here, yes, I'm calling you."

Shang Lu waved the innkeeper over and took out a few silver pieces from his sleeve pocket and handed them to him.

"Just now a thief came to our house to steal something. We discovered him and he has been arrested by the government. This money is for you to repair your doors and windows."

Seeing this, Zhu Quan and Du Feng loosened their hands that were holding their knives, thinking that Shang Lu had turned around suddenly just because he saw the innkeeper.

The innkeeper thanked him repeatedly.

The fight that had taken place in the dormitory earlier had woken up many people in the inn, including the waiters and the manager.

The steward wanted to know what was going on here, but didn't dare to come over, so he sent this poor fellow away to check the situation.

After Shang Lu and his men chased out, the two thieves who were left behind, before they were hypnotized, had their swords drawn and were looking around, highly alert.

The innkeeper didn't dare to go forward to ask, for fear that he would be stabbed if he got a little closer.

While the two thieves were hypnotized by witchcraft, the innkeeper was also hypnotized.

He was not awakened until Shang Lu and his companions returned.

As soon as he woke up and wanted to see what happened, Shang Lu called him.

The innkeeper thought he was going to be scolded, but Shang Lu was very kind. He not only told him the cause of the incident but also compensated him for the doors and windows.

What a good man!

The innkeeper labeled Shang Lu a good guy in his mind, so when Shang Lu asked him if he had any vacancies, he answered yes and enthusiastically wanted to take Shang Lu there.

Shang Lu did not rush to follow the innkeeper. Instead, he turned around and explained to Zhu Quan, Du Feng and the others, "I have used up a lot of my energy controlling the paper figurines and wooden kites, so I need a clean room to regulate my breathing. If you don't want to sleep in a shared room, you can ask the inn to arrange a new room for you."

Naturally, everyone had no objection to this.

Shang Lu was their chief officer, so even if he asked for a separate room for the purpose of regulating his breathing and recovering his energy, no one would say no.

Zhu Quan smiled and said, "We won't change. We have slept in the wilderness before, and a dormitory is good enough. And living together means we can take care of each other and handle problems in a timely manner."

He called a few thieves and asked them to make some simple repairs to the damaged doors and windows so that they could get by for the night.

Seeing this, Shang Lu did not try to persuade him any further. After giving a few instructions, he followed the innkeeper to a private room next door.

The house is not big, but Shang Lu did not come for enjoyment. He mainly wanted to find a place where there were no other people, so that he could ask Sanniang where she had just gone and study the treasures that had been seized.

After sending the innkeeper away and closing the door, Shang Lu looked around and made sure that there was no problem. Then he took out a wooden box covered with talisman papers from his arms.

When he opened the box, he found a copper bell the size of a palm.

This is the treasure that Shang Lu brought out from the thieves' office, named "Inaudible". It is said to have been obtained from a secret place somewhere. It has the effect of forming a shield to prevent eavesdropping.

After activating the "inaudible" bronze bell, Shang Lu asked Sanniang, "Where did you go just now?"

"I didn't go anywhere. I was in the witch temple in Black Wind Ferry, listening to Xi Feng and Lu Yun talking."

Shang Lu wanted to scold them, but couldn't bear to do so. He could only smile bitterly: "You are so brave, aren't you afraid of being discovered by them?"

"They can't find out." Sanniang said this with full confidence.

Although Shang Lu knew about Sanniang's magical powers, he still couldn't help but worry, and said with a stern face: "Don't take risks like this again in the future."

Although Sanniang was wearing a red veil, Shang Lu still felt that she was being looked down upon.

So he changed the subject with a strong desire to survive: "You just said that Xi Feng and Lu Yun were talking? After I left, Lu Yun went to the Black Wind Ferry Witch Temple?"

"Yeah." Sanniang nodded.

"What did they say?" Shang Lu asked curiously.

Sanniang recounted in detail what happened in the Black Wind Ferry Witch Temple after Shang Lu and his group left.

It turned out that just as Shang Lu and his companions left, Lu Yun took advantage of the cover of night and slipped into the Black Wind Ferry Witch Temple through the back door.

After meeting Xi Feng, the first thing Lu Yun said was: "Brother Xi, guess what I found in Shang Lu and the others' luggage?!"

The tone was full of excitement and seeking credit.

Xi Feng finally revealed the answer: "Pelagic snake meat?"

Lu Yun was shocked: "How do you know?" "Shang Lu just told me at the table, and his subordinates in the thief Cao's office also told me about it."

Xi Feng sneered when he said this.

"You didn't see Shang Lu's expression when he mentioned the Basque snake meat. He was afraid that I would ask him for it. I heard that he was a constable? No wonder he looked so stingy and had never seen the world. He treated the Basque snake meat as a treasure, but he didn't know that I didn't even care about it."

Lu Yun was stunned and had a question mark on his face. He wanted to ask if Xi Feng was focusing on the wrong thing: Shang Lu and his companions had Basque meat in their luggage, which meant that they had something to do with Basque's death. Why do you only care about whether he is stingy or not? Have you seen the world?
Xi Feng saw his surprise and repeated to him what Shang Lu had said at the table.

After listening, Lu Yun frowned and said, "Brother Xi, how true and false do you think Shang Lu's words are?"

"They should all be true. At most there are some concealments, but they are not important."

Xi Feng raised his finger and pointed at the spirit dog lying on the ground with its tongue hanging out.

"This is the spirit dog sent by Elder Xu. It has the blood of Xiezhi and is very sensitive to lies. If Shang Lu had lied just now, it would have seen through it immediately. But the dog didn't bark before."

Lu Yun glanced at the spirit dog and couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Brother Xi, is this dog...reliable?"

"You can say this in front of me, but don't let Elder Xu hear it, otherwise he has hundreds of ways to make you regret saying this."

Xi Feng first warned him, and then said, "I've tried it, and this dog is really sensitive to lies. Unless Shang Lu has a tongue that can deceive animals, or has the ability of a famous sophist to call black white and a deer a horse, don't think you can fool it. Do you think Shang Lu, who was born as a constable, has such treasures and abilities?"

"Of course not." Lu Yun said. He didn't have these treasures and skills, let alone Shang Lu?
"That's right." Xi Feng said, "I secretly detected Shang Lu's cultivation. Although I can't see the specific level, he should be around the peak of Qi training. For someone who has just entered the Witch Academy, his cultivation is very fast. But I heard that he has some relationship with the Feng family, so it's not surprising. But with this level of cultivation, wanting to kill Bashe and my three brothers from the Huangting Sect is clearly a joke!"

Lu Yun nodded subconsciously, thinking that Xi Feng was right.

Xi Feng continued, "I have reported this to the elders, and suggested that they should not waste time and manpower on Shang Lu, but should focus their investigation on the expert who appeared near Panlong Valley some time ago..."

During this period, people from the Huangting Sect have been secretly investigating and found out that during the time when Bashe died, several masters from Guling County had appeared in counties and towns around Panlong Valley, saying that they were investigating the chaos of prophecies.

But the people of Huangting Sect were very suspicious about this, thinking that some of those masters attacked and killed Bashe under the guise of investigating prophecies, or were even investigating their affairs!
Those masters were all from other aristocratic families and sects in Guling County.

The aristocratic families and factions in a county are competitors to each other.

Not only competing for talent, but also competing for resources.

If any of the aristocratic families or sects knew what the Huangting Sect was doing in secret, they would certainly be happy to destroy them and divide the spoils among themselves.

The Huangting Sect took the risk of cultivating experimental subjects such as the Basashi in order to reach a higher level and seize more voice and resources from these aristocratic sects.

As for Xi Feng and Lu Yun, they were able to know these secrets only because they were respected and trusted disciples of the Huangting Sect, otherwise they would not have been sent to Heifeng Ferry.

Maybe it’s not their turn to make breakthroughs, but they are asked to do a lot of dirty and tiring work!

It is called training and cultivation.

While in Heifeng Ferry, they also provided a lot of materials for the Huangting Sect's secret cultivation experiments.

It's normal to know some inside information.

Of course, the two didn't know much. They only knew that the sect was raising experimental subjects such as the basset gecko in order to give their disciples a chance to break through and get more resources for cultivation.

As for how these experiments were conducted, they were not clear.

Lu Yun had been persuaded by Xi Feng and had no objection to his report to the higher-ups. He then asked about the disposal plan for the brokers:
"Liu San and his gang have been imprisoned. Xiang Yang and Tang Ling both said that they will parade them through the streets tomorrow and behead them in public. You see..."

"Kill them if you want, and then find a few more. In Black Wind Ferry, there is no shortage of people like this who make money by illegal means."

Xi Feng didn't care at all about the life or death of Liu San and others, and even wished they would die.

"Liu San and his gang are too stupid and greedy. Without our orders, they dared to steal and cheat in Black Wind Ferry, and they didn't even hand over the stolen and cheated things. Do they really think we don't know what they have done?"

Xi Feng snorted coldly, looked at Lu Yun, and taught him a lesson:

"Liu San dared to be so rampant, he must have guessed your identity. In other words, he was not sure who you were, otherwise they would have pushed you out when Shang Lu captured you. When you look for someone else, you should find someone who is tight-lipped and knows what is good for him. Or you should find someone from other counties, preferably a barbarian from the south... In short, we can't let anyone suspect us!"

"Yes, I understand." Lu Yun nodded in response, his face somewhat ugly. After a pause, he asked again: "By the way, Senior Brother, Shang Lu took away all the remnant spirit treasures in Liu San's hands... Do you think we should find a way to get them back?"

Xi Feng didn't rush to make a decision. He narrowed his eyes and asked, "Are there any of those things that will expose us?"

Lu Yun shook his head: "No."

"Then let's not make things complicated." Xi Feng made the decision and asked curiously, "What are they?"

Lu Yun said: "I don't know. Liu San has stolen and cheated many people recently and got a lot of new things. I don't know what they are."

Xi Feng snorted, "Shang Lu got a bargain. But it doesn't matter. Sooner or later, we will get our money back with interest! The things of our Huangting Sect are not so easy to take!"

The two men thought their conversation was secret, but they didn't know that there were eyes and ears hidden in the dark, eavesdropping on their unscrupulous conversation.

And their reports will inevitably completely divert the direction of the sect's investigation.
