Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 489 The dragon roars and the tiger roars
On this day in the county governor's office, Shang Lu not only reviewed a large number of military documents, but also visited colleagues in various government offices.

On the surface, he is a newcomer who wants to integrate into the circle and build closer relationships, but in fact he is trying to gather information.

When these officials from the County Governor's Office first met Shang Lu, they were deliberately cold and distant.

It was not only because Shang Lu took up the vacancy of Sima, but also because Shang Lu had just had a conflict with the Gongcao Yamen.

In everyone's eyes, he was a difficult person to get along with. They were afraid that if they got close to him, they would get into trouble.

However, the coldness and alienation of these people were no match for Shang Lu's eloquence and sophistry.

After Shang Lu's heart training, not only did his mind become more agile, but his eloquence, which was enough to make him the king of gigolos, also became more clever.

Under Shang Lu's eloquent attack, these people from the County Governor's Mansion quickly surrendered.

Although they did not reach the point of treating Shang Lu as a close friend, they had already let down their guard and kept their distance from him.

During the conversation with them, Shang Lu used his eloquence to ask about the previous Sima in a roundabout way.

Unfortunately, none of them could explain it clearly. One said that he encountered a robbery demon, and another said that he was targeted by the grain robbery team of the State of Chu. There were many different opinions, but none of them was reliable.

Shang Lu was disappointed, but not without gain. He knew one thing very well: for any matter, the fewer people who know about it, the more serious the situation will be!

"It's better to be serious."

Shang Lu sneered in his heart: "The more serious the situation is, the more it will turn the muddy pond of Baiyi County upside down!"

With the help of his eloquence and sophistry, Shang Lu was able to obtain information quietly.

Afterwards, these people in the County Wei Mansion completely forgot that they had told Shang Lu anything about the previous Sima.

On his first day on duty at the County Magistrate's Office, Shang Lu did not leave early, but stayed until the end of the office.

When he left, the people in the county governor's mansion were all very familiar with him, and some even invited him to go to the brothel to listen to music. It was said that from the far west, a few Hu girls with skin as white as cream and flaming red hair came. Their waists were extremely thin and they could twist more than snake demons.

Although Shang Lu was very moved, he still refused righteously, saying that he was not interested in Hu Ji.

Although he refused, he still generously took out a handful of copper coins, saying that he wanted to treat his colleagues to tea and music.

These colleagues were a little embarrassed at first and invited Shang Lu to go with them.

Later, seeing that Shang Lu's face became increasingly ugly, and it seemed that he was not only uninterested in Hu Ji, but also afraid of her, he gave up.

After thanking Shang Lu, he took the copper coins and left.

After they walked away, they discussed in a low voice and guessed why Shang Lu was afraid of Hu Ji.

Soon rumors such as "Shang Sima was drained of his money by Hu Ji" were born.

Sure enough, throughout history, rumors in the office are spread by whoever is not there.

What they didn't know was that after Shang Lu left the County Governor's Mansion, he hurried out of the city while whispering to an invisible person beside him:

"They asked me to go, but I didn't go... I'm not interested in Hu Ji or anything like that, really. But Hu Ji's clothes are quite interesting. Next time I'll buy you one, and you can put it on and dance for me, how about that?"

Although it was getting dark soon, Shang Lu did not go home. Instead, after leaving Chengfeng County, he released the paper crane and rode on it, heading straight to the Witch Academy.

He didn't know when Li Hong's "killer move" would be launched, but it would definitely not be too long.

If things are delayed for too long, they are likely to change.

Therefore, he must hurry up and prepare.

In addition to understanding the military situation on the front line, you also need to learn more about the combat skills and magic of soldiers and witches.

At least the "skills" you have mastered must keep up with your own cultivation.

Otherwise, if he had the cultivation level of Tongtian Gate but couldn't use it, and went to the front line of Xingshan, wouldn't he be sending his spiritual roots to those guys in Chu State who were shouting "I am a barbarian"?
Soon Shang Lu arrived at Longya Mountain and flew all the way to the mountainside. Just like in the past, he landed a paper crane and walked over a hundred meters away from the gate of the Witch Academy.

It was already getting dark at this time, but there were still quite a few people sitting in the teahouse and tavern outside the Wuyuan Mountain Gate.

In the eyes of these people, even if it is dark, staying outside the gate of the Witch Academy is safer than staying in other places.

There are also rumors that if you practice outside the gate of the Witch Academy, you will have the opportunity to absorb the spiritual energy wafting from the Witch Academy.

That spiritual energy is not only helpful for cultivation, but also of great help in getting into the Witch Academy!
No one can tell whether the rumor is true or false.

But ever since this rumor spread, many people would not leave even after dark and would stay overnight in these teahouses and taverns.

Therefore, many people suspect that the rumors were made up by these teahouses and taverns, because they charge bed fees, and the price is not low!

When the people waiting in the teahouse and tavern saw Shang Lu in the light of the lamp, they suddenly became agitated and wanted to come over to get close to him and establish a relationship with him.

Fortunately, someone soon gave them some scientific knowledge, saying that the wizard robe on Shang Lu belonged to a wizard official from the Discipline Department. These people were so scared that they quickly gave up the idea of ​​getting close to him, fearing that they would not only fail to get close to him, but also offend a wizard official from the Discipline Department, thus bringing disaster upon themselves.

Shang Lu walked to the entrance of the witch temple and, as usual, burned a stick of incense to each of the dragon and tiger stone statues.

But today, the dragon and tiger stone statues did not rush to absorb the incense. Instead, they narrowed their eyes, moved closer to Shang Lu, circled around him, and sniffed the scent on his body.

"Boy, you'd better be careful recently, the human calamity has come!"

"Remember what we told you before: When a human calamity arises, don't be afraid, face it bravely and smash it to pieces! Don't think about hiding, because human calamity cannot be avoided by hiding, and it will only get bigger the more you hide."

"Disciple understands. Thank you both seniors for your teachings." Shang Lu nodded in response.

The dragon and tiger stone statues did not ask Shang Lu if he knew where the human calamity came from, and he did not take the initiative to tell them. He just asked the two seniors to open the mountain gate and let him into the Witch Academy.

But the dragon-tiger stone statue did not open the mountain gate immediately, but only asked him: "Do you want to go to class?"

"Yes." Shang Lu admitted.

"At this time, the open class has already ended, and with your current level of cultivation, there is little point in attending the open class."

The open classes in the Witch Academy, even those in the inner mountains, are all aimed at people below the Tongtian realm.

Shang Lu's current cultivation level has reached the entry level of Tongtian. Although there are still some tribulations that he has not passed, the open class is indeed not enough for him.

Generally speaking, when the disciples in the Witch Academy have reached the perfection of the Zhoutian Realm, they should apply to become a personal disciple of a certain doctor, take small classes, and learn more advanced skills.

However, most of the doctors in the Witch Academy nowadays are from aristocratic families and sects.

Passing the exam to become a direct disciple of these people means becoming a member of these aristocratic families and sects, and you must work hard for them until your death.

The aristocratic clans also relied on such means to parasitize on the Witch Academy and developed the reserve talents that the court wanted to cultivate into their own people.

Shang Lu didn't want to become a disciple so soon. He wanted to use his eloquence and sophistry to try to convince the doctors of the military and nuo witchcraft classes to teach him some new skills.

Of course, whether it would succeed or not was unclear. But what Shang Lu did not expect was that the dragon and tiger stone statues actually helped him make arrangements.

Yun Jun narrowed his eyes, stared at him closely and said, "It is very difficult to be a direct disciple. You must think carefully and choose someone who has great ability and shares the same ideals as you. But I see that your Yi Ma star is moving, and there is a sword on the horse's head. Does this mean you are going to the frontier and participate in the military..."

Shang Lu was shocked when he heard this.

"Senior can also read faces, can you even see this?"

"Sometimes."

"When?"

"I heard about your transfer to be Sima."

Yun Jun said: "There are more and more soldiers in the Xingshan area, and fighting will happen sooner or later. Once fighting starts, the counties will definitely draw troops to reinforce. At that time, you, the newly appointed Sima, will be the first to lead the charge."

"Fake Sima, he hasn't been promoted yet."

Shang Lu was speechless, he really thought Yun Jun's fortune was calculated by fortune teller, but he didn't expect that it was analyzed after he heard that he was promoted to Sima.

"Then we must take the lead."

Shan Jun interrupted, then laughed: "Lao Yun is a dragon, and reading qi is his innate ability. Do you think he is fooling you? Since he said that your Yima star is moving and the horse has a sword on its head, even if Xingshan doesn't fight, you will have to go to the border in the near future."

"About what time is it?" Shang Lu asked seriously.

“It’s hard to say, but it certainly won’t take too long.”

"So is this trip going to be bad or good?"

"Whether it is good or bad depends on you."

Yun Jun stared at Shang Lu deeply and said slowly: "Good fortune and bad luck are caused by one's own heart."

Shang Lu pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly, somewhat understanding.

Shan Jun said, "Don't be in a hurry to enter the Witch Academy today. We will help you find a few people and let them teach you a few moves first, so that you don't have enough skills when you really go to the border! As for the examination of personal disciples, we will plan it carefully after you come back from the border."

Shang Lu was overjoyed that Shan Jun and Yun Jun were willing to come forward to help, which was much more useful than him going around looking for someone to show off his eloquence.

He thanked them repeatedly and said, "Two seniors, please take some incense. Do you want more? I will light another one for you."

"No hurry, wait until this stick of incense is finished first."

Yun Jun raised his little paw and shook it, then said, "I told you before that I would teach you the following skills after you have mastered the Dragon-Tiger Dan Qi. But since you are going to the border, you must have some means of self-defense. Fortunately, you did not waste the Dragon-Tiger Power we taught you before, and you practiced it carefully until perfection. It just so happens that there is a set of magical skills called Dragon Roar and Tiger Howl, which is evolved from the Dragon-Tiger Power, and I can teach it to you."

As he spoke, Yun Jun began to spray mist, which quickly covered them and the Shanglu.

Shan Jun took over Yun Jun's words and introduced the Dragon Roar and Tiger Roar magical power to Shang Lu:

"This is a method of shouting, which uses sound to release vital energy. It can boost morale and intimidate the enemy, but it can also hurt people with sound."

Shang Lu understood as soon as he heard it. This magical power of dragon roar and tiger roar was somewhat similar to the roar of a lion, but it had more effects and greater power.

"Disciple thanks the two seniors!"

Shang Lu was truly grateful to the dragon and tiger stone statues and worshiped them respectfully.

These two not only helped him to overcome the two calamities of heaven and earth in the three calamities, but also gave him so much help.

If they were not the guardian statues of the Witch Temple, Shang Lu would have wanted to steal them... Ugh, please take them home and worship them day and night to show your gratitude.

"Stop talking nonsense and look carefully. You have practiced Dragon-Tiger Power and learned Dragon-Tiger Qi. This set of magical powers is not complicated for you."

The dragon and tiger stone statues said "stop talking nonsense", but they all held their heads high and accepted Shang Lu's gift, and then taught him the magical powers of dragon roar and tiger roar.

The mist sprayed out by Yun Jun not only blocked the sight of the people in the teahouse and tavern, but also blocked the sound, so that the noise of Shang Lu learning the dragon roar and tiger roar magical powers did not spread out. Otherwise, not only would it scare the group of people, but it would also spread rumors such as "the witch academy is haunted."

Just as Shanjun and Yunjun had said, Shang Lu practiced the Dragon-Tiger Power to perfection, and learned the Dragon-Tiger Qi, and soon mastered the secret of the Dragon Roar and Tiger Howl magical power.

What remains is to practice hard and hone your skills in actual combat.

After making sure that Shang Lu had mastered the secret of the dragon roar and tiger howl magical power, Yun Jun opened his mouth and was about to suck the mist back into his stomach.

"Go back and practice well. When we have arranged everything tomorrow, you can come to the Witch Academy to take the military and nuo witch classes."

Shang Lu saw this and hurriedly called out, "Senior, wait a minute."

"Anything else?"

Yun Jun asked, and the mountain fog that was originally rushing into its belly also stopped at this moment.

"Can you teach me this skill?" Shang Lu asked, and then looked at Shan Jun: "And senior, can I learn your ability to call the wind and control the wind?"

Shanjun and Yunjun looked at each other and laughed together.

Shan Jun said, "You are a real expert, but that's all for today. If you want to learn the skill of calling the wind and blowing out the mist, come back in the next few days."

Yun Jun gave more explanations: "Today you have learned the magical power of dragon roar and tiger roar. You should go back and practice well. When you have mastered this magical power, come to us to learn the ability of calling wind and exhaling fog. Don't worry, since you have cultivated the dragon and tiger power and learned the dragon and tiger qi, it will be no problem for you to master these two skills."

With the promise from Shanjun and Yunjun, Shang Lu was no longer in a hurry and bowed to express his gratitude again.

Yun Jun then took a deep breath and inhaled all the mountain mist into his stomach.

But Shang Lu did not leave the mountain. Instead, he asked Shanjun and Yunjun to open the mountain gate again.

"Disciple is going to look for Senior Sister Gongshu. I have something to discuss with her regarding weapon refining."

Shan Jun was quite surprised: "When did you learn how to refine weapons? And how can you discuss it with Gong Shuling?"

Although he was surprised, he did not ask any more questions, but opened the mountain gate as he was told.

When Shang Lu entered the witch courtyard and the gate was closed, Shanjun held the incense in his two paws and took a deep breath of the incense, while whispering: "There's something wrong with his human robbery... Lao Yun, do you think he can make it through?"

“Good fortune and bad fortune are your own.”

Yun Jun took a breath of the incense and repeated what he had said to Shang Lu with a dazed look in his eyes.

But the second half of the sentence became: "The world is in our hands."

"What does this mean?" The tiger was puzzled.

Yun Jun smiled and said, "This kid has already made a plan. Let's see what he can do! This Baiyi County is like a stagnant pool of water, becoming more and more corrupt. It's time to stir up some waves and cleanse it..."
