Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 406: Transplantation? Stealing the sky and replacing the day!
Shang Lu’s words made Lu Yang feel a little embarrassed.

He hesitated. After all, in front of others, he always said that he participated in the last battle and was injured.

Of course these are all facts, but there are some differences in the details.

Shang Lu urged: "Don't hesitate, what's going on? Don't worry, this is from you and I, and I won't let anyone else know."

Seeing that he couldn't fool people anymore, Lu Yang finally told the truth:
"I didn't expect the mountain ghost's true form to be so strong. It's much stronger than the clones and evil fetuses we've encountered before.

At that time, a group of us, led by the great wizard Zhongli, surrounded the mountain ghost in a valley. The brothers from the Discipline Department also set up layers of magic arrays around the valley to weaken the mountain ghost's strength and prevent it from escaping.

Following the order from the Great Wizard Zhongli, we all cast spells and attacked the mountain ghosts in the valley.

At that time, I took out thirteen flying swords at the same time, thinking of charging in the front and trying to achieve great merit. Even if I couldn't chop off the mountain ghost's head, I would at least stab it a few times and seriously injure it!
In the end, he didn't even see the mountain ghost before he was blown away by the divine wind it released!
Don't laugh, the mountain ghost has gained widespread faith in Feiwu County and has developed the power of a pseudo-god. Although the divine wind it releases is not as powerful as the real god, it is also extraordinary!

If you were there at that time, you might have been blown away by the divine wind, and your soul would have been blown away. I was just blown away, which is already good enough!"

"Senior Brother Lu, don't be so sensitive. I'm not laughing, it's just that, um, my mouth is a little cramped." Shang Lu covered his mouth with his hand and motioned Lu Yang to continue.

"Mouth cramp? How can you say that? No one will believe it!"

Lu Yang grinned, but continued to talk about the situation at that time:

"The divine wind released by the mountain ghost was extremely powerful. It blew me away for several miles. The sword energy that protected my body was shattered, and several of my ribs were broken. After I fell to the ground, I fainted. When I was rescued, the battle was over. I only saw the great wizard Zhongli holding the head of the mountain ghost wrapped in wizard symbols..."

After telling the story of what happened, Lu Yang saw Shang Lu covering his mouth and the corners of his mouth seemed to be twitching, so he tried to make up for it.

"Don't laugh. I wasn't the only one who was defeated by the mountain ghosts in a single encounter. Several brothers from the Discipline Department were even worse off than me and are still recovering from their injuries. Fortunately, we had Uncle Lu and Zhongli the Great Wizard to support us, otherwise the encirclement and suppression would have turned into a total annihilation - we were completely wiped out by the mountain ghosts."

After listening to this, Shang Lu was deeply moved.

He really didn't expect that the mountain ghost's original strength was so strong.

The previous incarnations of the mountain ghost, as well as the statues and evil fetuses possessed by its divine consciousness, were mostly just weird.

Although he is very powerful, he is not able to blow away or kill a Zhoutian realm wizard with a single breath of divine wind.

Because of this, Lu Yang misjudged the strength of the mountain ghost. He wanted to fight for the credit of being a pioneer, but ended up almost losing his life.

After Lu Yang made a few excuses for his behavior, he changed the subject: "Don't worry, although the mountain ghosts are weird, both the Great Witch Zhongli and Uncle Lu have rich experience in dealing with evil spirits. They can't think of the various problems you can think of? They must have been fully dealt with. These days, I have also been paying attention to the news from Feiwu County, and I have indeed not heard of any mountain ghosts appearing again."

Shang Lu nodded, and after thinking about it, he realized that this was indeed the case.

The people who killed the mountain ghosts at that time included the Great Witch Zhongli and Lu Dao, as well as several other uncles and senior masters from the Discipline Department.

These people are all veterans in dealing with evil spirits and ghosts, and each one is more experienced than the other.

They are sure they can think of all the situations that he can think of, and even more comprehensively than he can.

"I was really overthinking it." Shang Lu nodded, and then he couldn't help but tease Lu Yang: "Brother Lu, you were blown away and knocked unconscious before you even saw the mountain ghost. It seems you need to practice more."

Lu Yang glared at him angrily and spat, "Don't blame me. If it were you, you would be in a worse situation!"

Shang Lu smiled and said, "So I knew what was going on and didn't follow them."

Lu Yang heard the hidden meaning in his words and cursed: "Bah, you have no self-awareness!"

The two of them had been through life and death together, and a few jokes not only did not make Lu Yang angry, but instead eased his embarrassment.

Shang Lu stared at the mountain ghost's head for a few more times and asked curiously, "After this head becomes a residual spirit, is there any special effect?"

"I don't know about that."

Lu Yang shook his head and told Shang Lu: "In the Remnant Soul Cave, professionals will conduct a series of tests on the collected remnant souls. However, that will only begin when the pollution of the remnant souls has been reduced to a certain level. Now that the mountain ghost's head has just been collected, it will take some time before the corresponding tests can be carried out."

Shang Lu said "So that's how it is", then he withdrew his gaze from the mountain ghost's head and prepared to leave with Lu Yang.

But just as he turned around, he felt a sudden chill on his back.

Someone's eyes were fixed on Shang Lu.

This look was different from the strange look he had cast from Zhenshou Peak before. It was filled with hatred, as if he wanted to skin him alive.

Shang Lu was instantly horrified. He stroked the knife with one hand and grasped the animal whip wrapped around his waist with the other. He turned around abruptly and looked behind him warily.

Behind him, in addition to the mountain ghost head wrapped in iron chains and witch talismans, there were two other residual souls sealed in the witch altar and iron box.

Although the two residual spirits could not be seen, one was constantly emitting deathly air from the mouth of the jar that was blocked by the witch talisman, while the other was constantly dripping dirty blood with bubbles from the gap in the iron box.

This time, Lu Yang noticed something strange about Shang Lu, and turned around with him, looking at the three strange spirits behind him, and asked in a low voice: "Did you notice anything strange?"

"You noticed it too?" Shang Lu asked hurriedly.

"No."

Shang Lu was a little surprised by Lu Yang's answer.

Fortunately, he quickly said, "This is the Remnant Soul Cave. The remnant souls collected here are very strange and weird. It is normal for you to feel abnormal, uncomfortable, or even be targeted or entangled. But don't be afraid. When we leave the Remnant Soul Cave, we will pass through the witch formation, and all the chaos and pollution we are contaminated with will be purified there."

After Lu Yang said this, he urged Shang Lu to leave quickly.

"Since you already have an uncomfortable feeling, let's leave here quickly and don't let yourself be contaminated. Otherwise, even with the purification of the witch formation, your state of mind and cultivation will be damaged."

Shang Lu had no objection and followed Lu Yang out of the Canling Cave.

But in his heart he was thinking: "Is the strange feeling just now really just the chaotic aura of the remnant spirit?"

Shang Lu couldn't help but look back and look at the three remaining souls behind him, especially at the mountain ghost's head.

But after looking around, he didn't find anything unusual on the mountain ghost's head.

Under the suppression of the iron chain and the witch talisman, this head was extremely obedient and showed no abnormality. Moreover, the witch formations around it did not react either. Perhaps I was really too sensitive...

Compared to entering the Cave of Remnant Souls, the process of exiting is much more complicated.

In addition to entering the witch formation for purification, Shang Lu and Lu Yang also underwent a series of inspections to ensure that they did not take out the residual spirits without permission, or that they were treated as "hosts" by the residual spirits and secretly possessed without their knowledge.

After completing a series of procedures, the two finally left the Remnant Spirit Cave. Then Lu Yang drove the sword boat and sent Shang Lu back to the main peak.

Although there are still a few mountains that we haven't visited, according to Lu Yang's introduction, there is nothing special about those mountains, so it doesn't matter if we don't visit them.

After driving the sword boat to land on the main peak, Lu Yang extended an invitation.

"Brother Shang, how about we go to a restaurant in the city and have a good drink to celebrate our joining the Discipline Department?"

"Another day."

Shang Lu walked to the warhorse, untied the reins tied to the tree, and politely declined.

"I just came back today and I have to report my progress to the teacher of Nuo Wu class. The thieves' office also has to deal with the paperwork that has accumulated recently. After these busy days, I will treat Senior Brother Lu and I to a drunken party." Lu Yang also has a part-time job in the office, so he knows that Shang Lu will be very busy in the next two days. He is not just perfunctory, so he nodded and agreed: "Okay, then I will wait for your summons."

Then he asked, "Are you going to Nuo Wu class now? Do you need me to take you there?"

Shang Lu took out the jade token of the Witch Academy, glanced at today's class schedule, and found that the Nuo witch class was about to end.

However, since he was going to report his homework to the teacher of the Nuo Wu class, there was no need to be too anxious, so he said, "I can go there by myself on horseback, so as not to delay Senior Brother Lu's time."

"Alright." Lu Yang didn't bother to be polite and nodded in response: "Then I will go to practice swordsmanship. This time when facing the mountain ghost, I couldn't even use my sword. It was a great shame! I have to work hard and practice well, so that I can make meritorious deeds in future missions and let Zhongli the Great Wizard know that it was absolutely the right decision for him to recruit me into the Discipline Department!"

The two said goodbye to each other. Lu Yang flew away on his sword, while Shang Lu rode his war horse down the Bijia Mountain and headed straight for the Nuo witch class.

When we arrived, the class had already ended and the Nuo witch teacher was assigning homework.

When several brothers and sisters from the inner mountain saw Shang Lu coming on horseback, they did not take it seriously at first. But when he rode closer and they saw the Xiezhi totem embroidered on his wizard robe, they were all startled and felt a little uncomfortable. They could not help but discuss in a low voice the purpose of Shang Lu's visit.

Nuo Wu teacher scolded: "Why are you panicking? As long as you haven't done anything illegal or against discipline, why should you be afraid of the people from the Discipline Department? Or have you done something wrong?"

Upon hearing this, several senior brothers and sisters from Neishan naturally denied it in unison.

Seeing this, Shang Lu didn't rush to get closer. He got off his horse and waited on the side.

It was not until the Nuo Wu teacher had finished assigning the lessons and several of his senior brothers and sisters had left that he stepped forward and bowed.

"Disciple Shang Lu greets the teacher. I came here today to report to the teacher. My Nuo mask has been completed. I wonder when I can start the next stage of the course?"

The Nuo witch teacher looked Shang Lu up and down, with a hint of surprise in his expression.

"I remember that you passed the assessment and entered the inner mountain not long ago, right? Now you have joined the Discipline Department... Has your cultivation level broken through to the Zhoutian realm?"

"Yes, I was lucky enough to encounter an opportunity that allowed me to achieve a breakthrough in my cultivation."

Although Shang Lu did not explain in detail, Teacher Nuo Wu had been in the Witch Academy for a long time and naturally knew how amazing and rare it was to have the opportunity to achieve a breakthrough without using breakthrough materials.

This made him sigh and praise Shang Lu for his good luck. He then asked Shang Lu to summon the Nuo mask to check whether it was really made.

In the past, there were people who had not yet finished making Nuo masks, but lied and claimed that they had done so, in order to learn the later lessons in advance.

The result is that one becomes obsessed and ends up harming oneself.

After this incident, the teachers of the Nuo witch class will check the work of the current stage before starting the next stage of the course.

Shang Lu responded with a "yes", raised his hand and wiped his face, summoned out the Nuo mask of the god with a pig body, eight legs and a snake tail, and put it on.

"good."

The Nuo witch teacher nodded and praised him.

He has been immersed in the art of Nuo witchcraft for many years. He does not need Shanglu to activate the Nuo mask. Just by putting it on, he can see that this Nuo mask is a top-quality product among the first-grade Nuo masks.

Judging from the heavy earthy smell emanating from the Nuo mask, it should be borrowing the power of a mountain god or land god.

For those who are new to Nuo witchcraft and making Nuo masks, gods such as mountain gods and land gods are indeed good choices.

The nature of earth is very tolerant, and even if something goes wrong in the sacrificial ceremony or the process of making Nuo masks, it will not be blamed.

Unlike some petty-minded gods who will punish you for the slightest mistake.

The Nuo witch teacher was about to make a few comments, but saw Shang Lu raise his hand and wipe his face again.

Then he put on a black Nuo mask.

"Ok?"

The Nuo Wu teacher, who had been sitting on the stone bench, stood up instantly and asked in surprise: "You actually made two Nuo masks?"

"Yes."

Shang Lu did not say that Tu Bo came to him on his own initiative, and that he was forced to make two Nuo masks. He made up a vague reason:
"I have a connection with these two gods in the past, and I usually offer incense to them. When I was making Nuo masks, I thought I might as well make them together..."

While he was explaining, the Nuo witch teacher came up to him with a serious look on his face, walked around him with the Yu Step, and kept making witch gestures with his hands, observing his condition and discerning his breath.

After turning around a few times, the Nuo witch teacher didn't find any problem, but he was still worried, so he raised his hand again, used his finger as a pen, and quickly drew a witch character on Shanglu's body.

Seeing that Wu Wen had not changed, the Nuo Wu teacher finally felt relieved.

He glared at Shang Lu and scolded him, "You are a beginner in Nuo masks, yet you dare to make two in one go? Aren't you afraid of angering the gods and bringing punishment?"

Shang Lu knew that Nuo Wu teacher was doing this for his own good, so he didn't act pretentiously. Instead, he followed Nuo Wu teacher's words and nodded to admit his mistake: "My disciple was confused at the time, and I was very scared afterwards. Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened."

Nuo Wu teacher had a stern face. After scolding Shang Lu for a few words, he carefully helped him analyze:
"The previous Nuo mask you used was for the mountain god and the land god. This one is full of the power of the netherworld. Is it for the Yin God?"

Seeing Shang Lu nod in agreement, he continued, "The mountain gods, the land gods, and the underworld gods are all governed by Hou Tu Niangniang, and they are considered gods of the same faction. I guess that's why they didn't punish you. If the two gods you invited don't get along, or even have a grudge against each other, then you'll be in trouble! The saying that when gods fight, mortals suffer is not as simple as it sounds."

Seeing Shang Lu's sincere expression, the Nuo Wu teacher's expression eased a little and his tone softened:
"Teacher disciplined you because he was afraid that you would be greedy for success and make rash moves, and go astray. Although you are reckless, you have successfully made two Nuo masks in your first learning, which shows that you are very talented. I hope you can be humble and not make rash moves in the future. I don't want the students I taught to go astray and become monsters because of divine punishment."

"Thank you for your teachings, teacher. I will remember it and will be more careful in the future." Shang Lu bowed in response.

The Nuo witch teacher then smiled, praised Shang Lu a few words, and then asked him to come back in five days to attend the next stage of the Nuo magic course.

It includes corresponding methods of borrowing divine power, as well as courses such as Nuo dance and Nuo music.

Not only that, the Nuo witch teacher also taught Shang Lu a set of Nuo witch practice techniques.

This set of skills is called the Mysterious Art of Transmitting Flowers and Trees. It is a secret technique of practicing by borrowing divine power to drive the witch's own witch power and essence to circulate.

Although the borrowed divine power must be returned to the gods in the end without any residue, one's own witchcraft power and vital energy can also grow greatly after following the operation of the divine power.

This is like a poor student who plays with the top students every day and can learn some skills.

Especially with the help of divine power, even if you encounter obstacles in your practice, you can use the divine power to break through them in one fell swoop.

Because of this, the practice progress of Nuo witches is often faster than that of other schools.

But at the same time, because Nuo witches have been dealing with mad gods for a long time and even borrowing the power of chaos to practice, they are more likely to go astray and become crazy than wizards of other schools.

Therefore, we need to take adequate precautions, especially to strengthen our mental state.

After giving some instructions, the Nuo witch teacher explained in detail how to practice the mysterious skill of transplanting flowers and trees, answered some questions for Shang Lu, and demonstrated it himself.

Then, with the help of Nuo Wu teacher, Shang Lu tried to practice this new technique.

And after he practiced it once, he was pleasantly surprised to find that this set of skills could only be called transplanting flowers and trees on other Nuo witches.

But on his body, it has the effect of stealing the day!
