Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 403 Joining the Discipline Department and being promoted to Law Enforcement Officer

Shang Lu was puzzled and bowed to the green bird to ask: "Excuse me, Senior Bird, why did the Discipline Department invite me to come? "

However, this green bird just kept repeating "Go to the Discipline Department immediately" like a repeater, and did not answer Shang Lu's question.
Seeing this, Shang Lu understood that this spirit bird was not his senior brother at all, but just a parrot used to deliver messages.

It seems that only when I go to the Discipline Department can I know the reason for being summoned.

But it shouldn't be a disaster, otherwise the wizard from the Discipline Department would have come out in person to invite him for tea instead of sending a mimicking bird to deliver the message.

Thinking of this, Shang Lu bowed to the green bird again and said loudly: "Disciple, I will go to the Discipline Department immediately."

Although the intelligence of this spirit bird is not high, it still has to maintain courtesy. After all, Shang Lu doesn't know if there is any witch from the Discipline Department who is secretly observing him through this spirit bird.

There's no harm in being polite.

However, after receiving the order, Shang Lu was in trouble again.

He had not been admitted to the Witch Academy for long. Before coming to the Witch Academy, he always went straight to the class location and rarely went anywhere else. He really didn't know where the Discipline Department was.

Shang Lu was just about to find someone to ask when he saw the green spirit bird that brought the message finally stopped circling above his head and flapped its wings to fly towards a mountain in the distance.

At the same time, a voice that was clearly not from the green bird came out of its mouth: "Follow this bird."

Then, the green bird turned into a "repeater chicken", and while flying, it repeatedly urged: "Keep up, keep up."

Shang Lu shook the reins, spurred his horse to catch up, and thought to himself that he was lucky: "Sure enough, there was a witch from the Discipline Department watching secretly. Fortunately, I didn't do anything out of line."

While following the green spirit bird to the Discipline Department, Shang Lu took out the Witch Academy Jade Card and sent a message to Bai Lingxu.

"Brother Bai, you have a wide network of contacts. Do you know the identities of the group of people who sold the Five Evil Stones in the Ghost Market?"

Normally at this point in time, Bai Lingxu was attending the Beast Wizardry class, and Shang Lu didn't expect to receive a reply from him immediately. After sending the message, he put the jade token in his pocket and waited for Senior Brother Bai to reply.

What Shang Lu didn't expect was that before he put the jade token back into his arms, Bai Lingxu's reply came.

"Junior Brother Shang, you've been to the Ghost Market, don't you know the rules there? They don't ask about the origins of the money or the goods, or the identities of the parties involved in the transaction. Not to mention that once you enter the Ghost Market, you'll change your appearance. Under these restrictions, even if I have a wide network of contacts, I can't find out the identities of that group of people."

Shang Lu had just finished reading this message when Bai Lingxu sent him another one, asking him: "Junior Brother Shang, why are you asking about the identities of this group of people? Do you want to rob them? I advise you not to do that. Those who dare to sell things in the ghost market have some extraordinary means. Don't let them rob you instead of robbing you."

"Brother Bai, you're joking. Do you think I'm the kind of person who robs his fellow thieves? I'm just curious. It takes a lot of dead bodies and resentment to produce something like the Five Evil Stones. But these people have quite a lot of them. Where do you think they got them from?"

"What's there to be curious about? There are always some uneasy places in this world, and there are always some people who have connections and methods that we don't know about."

Bai Lingxu was not interested in the origin of the Five Evil Stones, let alone caring about it.

He quickly changed the subject and curiously inquired about the Black Wind Ferry: "Junior Brother Shang, are you still in Black Wind Ferry? I heard something happened there, and there are many different opinions about the cause. Do you know what happened there? I sent you a message a few days ago, but you didn't reply."

Shang Lu was either traveling or gathering information in the past few days, and had no time to satisfy Bai Lingxu's gossip and curiosity.

Seeing Bai Lingxu asking about it, he made up a lie, saying that people were in a panic in those days and had no time to check the news, and then he picked up a few folk rumors and told Bai Lingxu.

These rumors are spreading everywhere, and there is no fear of being discovered.

Sure enough, after reading his reply, Bai Lingxu was somewhat disdainful: "Junior Brother Shang, is this all the information you found out in Black Wind Ferry? You don't know as much as I do! Let me tell you, these statements are outdated and have been proven to be rumors. Now the latest statement is... Oh no, the teacher found out that I was playing with jade cards. Let's not talk about it for now. I'll talk to you about this later."

After this message was sent, Bai Lingxu remained silent.

He must have been caught red-handed by the teacher of the Beast and Witch class, but I don't know what the punishment will be.

It was only at this moment that Shang Lu realized that Bai Lingxu replied quickly not because he did not go to class, but because he was not serious in class and was secretly playing with jade cards.

Shang Lu mourned for Bai Lingxu in his heart for a few seconds, and prayed for him at the same time, asking the teacher of the Beast Wizardry class to not show mercy and to teach him a lesson.

Unable to get any clues from Bai Lingxu, Shang Lu could only think of another way. He wondered whether he should go find the teachers of the Yin-wen Ghost Class and ask them for help?

Shang Lu was daydreaming while galloping at lightning speed under the guidance of the green spirit bird.

Soon they arrived at the Bijia Peak in the inner mountain of Wuyuan.

Bijia Peak is composed of several adjacent peaks, with the middle peak being the highest and the heights of the two sides decreasing gradually.

From a distance, it looks like a huge pen holder standing between heaven and earth, hence the name.

The green spirit bird took Shanglu straight to the highest mountain in the middle.

There is a Jiuhe Tower on the top of the peak. The tower is nine stories high and each floor is octagonal. There are a total of eighty-one flying eaves, which is in line with the principle of nine nines returning to one.

Just seeing the Jiuhe Tower from a distance will make people feel awe. When you get closer, you will find that the tower is covered with dark red witchcraft spells, emitting a powerful witchcraft aura, full of oppression!

This is no longer an ordinary building, but more like a large magical weapon. In other words, it has a bit of the meaning of a mountain protection formation.

The green bird flew straight into the Jiuhe Pagoda, calling out all the way: "Shanglu is here, Shanglu is here."

Shang Lu dismounted outside the tower and tied his horse to a tree. He was wondering whether to go directly into the tower or stand outside for a while and wait for the green spirit bird to inform him and someone to lead the way. Then he saw a familiar figure walking out of the Jiuhe Tower.

It was Lu Dao, with whom he had lived and died together before.

"Disciple Shang Lu, greetings to Uncle Master Lu."

Shang Lu quickly stepped forward and saluted, feeling relieved.

Since it was Lu Dao who summoned him here, it must not be a bad thing.

And seeing that Lu Dao was smiling, it might be a good thing.

"Shang Lu, you came back without telling me. Luckily I told Yun Jun and Shan Jun early in the morning, otherwise they wouldn't have known you were back."

When Lu Dao looked at Shang Lu, there was not only joy in his eyes, but also a bit of surprise.

How did Shang Lu know that he was summoned to the Discipline Department by Lu Dao and there was actually a matter about the dragon and tiger stone statues.

Lu Dao looked Shang Lu up and down and sighed, "It's only been a few months since we last met in Feiwu County, and your cultivation has improved a lot, and you even broke through to the Zhoutian realm. This kind of talent and opportunity is really amazing and enviable!"

After Feng Boyuan broke through to the Zhoutian realm in Shanglu, he reported the matter to the Witch Academy.

As a professor at the Witch Academy and the Chief Judge of the Discipline Department, Lu Dao naturally knew about this matter.

"It is because of kind teachers like you, Uncle Lu, who have shown me great care and guidance, that I have achieved my current level of cultivation. Otherwise, even if I had good luck, it would be extremely difficult for me to break through to the Zhoutian realm."

Shang Lu used his eloquence to flatter people as if they were free.

You know what, Lu Dao, a professor at the Witch Academy, really falls for it.

Although he said, "I didn't teach you," he couldn't hide the smile on his face at all.

After flattering him for a while, Shang Lu asked Lu Dao why he had summoned him to the Discipline Department.

"Don't be nervous. Our Discipline Department is not the King of Hell. We can't eat people." Lu Dao joked.

Shang Lu thought that although the Discipline Department was not the Hell, in many people's minds, it was a more terrifying existence than the Hell.

Lu Dao smiled and explained the whole story: "It's a good thing to ask you to come here. The Witch Academy plans to transfer you to the Discipline Department. Are you willing?"

Although it is called a transfer, it should actually be considered a promotion, as the Discipline Department has great powers.

Of course, once you enter the Discipline Department, the risks you have to take are also higher.

But high risk also brings high returns - after entering the Discipline Department, both the training resources and the promotion paths are much better than those of ordinary wizards!
Therefore, in the Witch Academy, many outstanding disciples are trying their best to enter the Discipline Department.

Lu Dao explained to Shang Lu the benefits and dangers of joining the Discipline Department.

He also told him: "If you enter the Discipline Department, not only will the spiritual fluids, spiritual fats and other cultivation resources you receive every month increase, but you will also have the opportunity to access confidential information related to cultivation, gods and ghosts, and secret realms, which will help you understand this world and the true meaning of cultivation.

At the same time, you will learn more witchcraft and skills, and they will be more refined.

The most important thing is that when you reach the perfection of Zhou Tian and need breakthrough materials, you will have a higher priority than other wizards. "

Shang Lu was not very interested in breakthrough materials, this was just a big pie. If breakthrough materials were really that easy to obtain, Feng Boyuan, as the nephew of the witch academy's chief priest, would not have gone to Luoshui County to develop the secret realm to gain opportunities.

But even without considering the breakthrough materials, just the inclination of cultivation resources, as well as the ability to access confidential information and learn more and more powerful witchcraft and skills, are enough to make Shang Lu very tempted.

So he didn't hesitate and agreed immediately: "Thank you for your care, Uncle Lu! I am grateful to you."

Lu Dao smiled and waved his hands: "No need to thank me, thank Zhongli the Great Witch instead. I am not qualified to transfer you to the Discipline Department, it was all his idea.

The Great Wizard Zhongli said that you have performed well and are the best among the new students in the Wizard Academy. After being transferred to the Discipline Department, you can also inspire the students in the Wizard Academy. In this troubled time, the students of the Wizard Academy need to work hard, so we want to set you up as a role model. "

After a pause, Lu Dao continued, "Of course, this is also your own effort. If you were at the Qi Refining Realm before, it would be very difficult to transfer to the Discipline Department.

As a result, Feng Boyuan sent back news that you had gotten an opportunity in the secret realm of Yunhua Mountain and your cultivation had broken through to the Zhoutian realm.

With this level of cultivation, I have met the minimum requirement to enter the Discipline Department, and no one will gossip or obstruct me anymore."

After hearing this, Shang Lu realized that it was actually the idea of ​​the great witch Zhongli to transfer him to the Discipline Department.

So he said, "Uncle Lu, where is the Great Wizard Zhongli now? I have to go and thank him."

Lu Dao said, "He was injured in the fight with the mountain ghost. He has been in seclusion since he came back to recover. It's not too late to disturb him. Wait until he recovers and comes out. Then you can go and thank him."

Shang Lu asked hurriedly: "Is the Great Wizard Zhongli injured? How serious is his injury?"

"Don't worry. From what I can see from the Great Wizard Zhongli's appearance, he doesn't look like he has any serious problems."

Lu Dao patted Shang Lu on the shoulder.

"Great Wizard Zhongli thinks highly of you. After you enter the Discipline Department, you must work hard and never let him down."

Shang Lu cupped his hands and said, "Uncle Lu, rest assured. I will live up to your and Great Wizard Zhongli's high expectations."

Lu Dao laughed loudly and was very satisfied with Shang Lu's answer.

"Come on, follow me into the tower to complete the formalities."

Lu Dao pulled Shang Lu into the Jiuhe Tower, intending to complete the procedures for joining the Discipline Department today.

Shang Lu followed Lu Dao and said, "Uncle Lu, I am also working as a thief official in the thief office. Will there be any conflicts?"

"It's no problem." Lu Dao said with a smile, "You have joined the Discipline Department and become a thief official, which is more legitimate."

After hearing what he said, Shang Lu was relieved. Why not take two salaries?

Shang Lu followed Lu Dao and first went to find a clerk to register, and then went to get a set of equipment, including an animal bone mask and two wizard robes embroidered with the xiezhi totem.

There was magical power flowing from the mask and the wizard's robe, and they were actually magical weapons.

After listening to Lu Dao's introduction, Shang Lu realized that the animal bone mask has the effect of identifying auras and lies.

The Xiezhi witch robe is blessed with witchcraft related to concealment and defense. There is no need to chant any spells, just mobilize the essence and witch power to trigger it.

In addition to the animal bone mask and the Xiezhi witch robe, Shang Lu was also given a scroll of bamboo slips.

As soon as Shang Lu touched the bamboo slips, he felt cold and couldn't help shivering.

Lu Dao introduced, "This is the Code of Laws. It contains all the laws of our country, including those that wizards and demons should abide by. When you come down, you must study it carefully and memorize these laws and regulations."

Shang Lu thought to himself that these bamboo slips didn’t look thick, so could they record all the laws of the Kingdom of Ba?

Lu Dao saw what he was thinking and said with a smile, "Open it and take a look."

Shang Lu opened the bamboo slips out of curiosity.

The bamboo slips were empty, without a single word on them.

Just as Shang Lu was surprised, he suddenly saw a ball of black gas rising from the bamboo slips and heading straight for his eyebrows.

Shang Lu subconsciously wanted to hide, but he heard Lu Dao's reminder: "Don't hide."

After a brief hesitation, Shang Lu still listened to Lu Dao's instructions, steadied his body, and allowed the black air to enter his eyebrows.

But Shanglu did not take it lightly.

His mind was highly concentrated, and once the black energy showed any unusual movement, he would urge his five internal organs to extinguish it.

However, after the black gas entered Shang Lu's forehead, it did not cause any abnormal changes, but only caused some more things to appear in Shang Lu's head.

When he concentrated his attention and looked inward, he discovered that the things that appeared in his head were exactly the laws of the country of Pakistan.

Each item and each model is extremely detailed.

Some of the laws and regulations were what he had seen in the county government and the yamen of the bandits' office.

But the content about wizards and demons was something he had never encountered before.

"No wonder a small bamboo slip can record the entire set of laws of the Kingdom of Ba. It turns out that it has such magical powers."

After Shang Lu closed the bamboo slips, he sighed repeatedly.

At the same time, it was discovered that when the bamboo slips were closed, black gas flew out from the center of the eyebrows and returned to the bamboo slips.

And the laws and regulations that appeared in his head also returned to the bamboo slips along with the black air.

It seems that it is not feasible to rely on the bamboo slips of laws and regulations to gain a lot of knowledge instantly. You still need to spend time to study them slowly.

After listening to Shang Lu's sigh, Lu Dao smiled and said, "Don't underestimate this volume of law, it has far more uses than this. If you encounter someone who violates the law in the future, you can use your witch power to read out the law to punish and restrain them."

"It also has the magical effect of making your words come true?" Shang Lu was overjoyed. This is a great treasure!

Originally he said that he would slowly study the legal provisions, but now it seems that he needs to spend more time and energy to memorize the legal provisions as soon as possible.

This is the only way to avoid getting stuck when using the law code.

Otherwise, if you encounter a demon or evil spirit that commits a crime and you are about to start fighting, you still have to search to see which law and regulations apply. Wouldn't that delay the fight?

It might even distract him, giving the enemy an opportunity to kill him.

Shang Lu was pleasantly surprised and asked in detail about how to use the bamboo slips of the law code before putting it away.

Lu Dao took Shang Lu on a tour of the Jiuhe Tower and introduced him to people from various departments.

Shang Lu relied on his eloquence to throw out nice words without paying, which made many people in the Discipline Department have a good first impression of him.

After touring the Jiuhe Tower, Lu Dao said, "Considering that you have just returned to the Witch Academy and have just recently broken through to the Zhoutian Realm, I have not assigned you any tasks for the time being. During this time, you should study hard in the Witch Academy, practice hard, consolidate your cultivation first, and don't rush to make achievements."

Shang Lu bowed in agreement. He was more than happy to accept this arrangement.

Lu Dao led Shang Lu out of the Jiuhe Tower, raised his hand and pointed to several other peaks nearby, and introduced them:
"The mountains next to it are also the territory of our Discipline Department. They are the place for worshipping gods, the prison for imprisonment, and the secret treasure vault..."

At this point, Lu Dao paused, then smiled and said, "It just so happens that Lu Yang is here, let him take you around so you can get familiar with the route. I have other things to do here, so I won't accompany you for long."

Shang Lu looked in the direction of Lu Dao's finger, and indeed, he saw a flash of sword light shooting towards him from a distance.

However, Shang Lu remembered that Lu Yang was not a member of the Discipline Department before.

So, like him, he was “specially recruited” into the company by the Great Wizard Zhongli?

Just as I was thinking about it, I saw Lu Dao turn around and leave.

Shang Lu hurriedly stopped him: "Uncle Lu, please walk slowly. I have something to report."
