Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 491 It turns out to be “Fire Dragon Burning the Warehouse”!
"Sanniang, come on, let's practice."

As soon as Shang Lu got home, he went straight to the bedroom, sat on the edge of the bed and kept patting the bed with his hands, just like the sea lion emoticon.

Sanniang showed up and gave Shang Lu a cold look, but did not refuse. After telling Uncle Huai to light a fire and cook, she floated into the bedroom, sat next to Shang Lu, and discussed "Yin Yang Can Tong Qi" with him.

Both of them were smart people. They quickly memorized the training method of the first level of "Sympathy" and began to practice it.

As the Yin and Yang Qi converged, they turned into Yin and Yang fish that circulated in the bodies of the two people. The step of building a bridge between Kan and Li in the Dragon and Tiger Dan Qi actually began to operate on its own following the "Yin Yang Can Tong Qi".

It was like Shang Lu practiced two sets of skills at once, and he did both of them very well.

Moreover, this kind of training method is tiring but not painful, but very comfortable...

After finishing her training, a faint blush appeared on Sanniang's pretty face.

It’s good to have a blush, not only does it add a bit of shy charm, but it also makes you look more like a living person.

Shang Lu was very excited, and felt that "Yin Yang Can Tong Qi" was perfect for him and Sanniang. If it weren't for the fact that the technique clearly stated that it was not advisable to practice this technique too frequently, he would have wanted to practice it with Sanniang all night long...

Although he can't practice "Yin Yang San Tong Qi" tonight, Shang Lu still has other skills to practice.

After dinner, Shang Lu started practicing the dragon roar and tiger roar that he had just learned today.

Sanniang set up a witch formation and asked Uncle Huai to hold up branches to block the sound from spreading out.

Otherwise, the neighbors in Mingyue Lane will suffer!

He roared for a long time, and when the time came to midnight, Shang Lu held the Shui Yin Pearl and began to practice the Dragon and Tiger Dan Qi.

This Shui Yin Pearl is a kind of pill that Shang Lu bought from the Yunshang Market in the Witch Academy.

It is condensed from Yin Qi and is very useful for practicing Dragon and Tiger Dan Qi.

Along with the Shui Yin Pearl, I also bought the Yan Yang Pill, but that was for practicing at noon.

Shang Lu activated the Dragon and Tiger Dan Qi, absorbed the Yin Qi from the heaven and earth and from the Shui Yin Pearl, and refined them through visualization.

The night passed quickly.

Early the next morning, Shang Lu practiced the dragon roar and tiger howl again, then he dressed neatly and went to the county governor's mansion.

He arrived very early. His colleagues in the county governor's office did not come according to the regular time. They all arrived at the yamen after noon.

After yesterday's communication, the people in the County Governor's Mansion had become familiar with Shang Lu. When they heard that he had come early in the morning, they all advised him not to be too arrogant.

"Sir Shang, we don't have a lot of things to do in the County Governor's Mansion on weekdays, so there's no need to come so early."

"As the Sima, you have come so early. What should the officials below do? Shouldn't they all come earlier?"

"Also, Brother Shang, you don't have to stay in the government office until the end of the term. If you don't leave early, how can others leave early?"

"We understand that you want to show off your skills when you first arrive, but there's really no need to do this. Otherwise, won't we all suffer along with you?"

Shang Lu thought to himself, wow, the people in the county lieutenant's office are so arrogant that they can even slack off and feel guilty about it?
Thinking back to when he was in the thief Cao's office, except for the days when he was in seclusion and could not go to the yamen, he would go to the yamen on time to report for duty at other times. He would only go about his own business after finishing the day's official business.

This county magistrate's office was just so good that, regardless of the official business, they just caught the fish first.

However, this is a good thing for Shang Lu.

It will give him enough time to do his own thing and prepare for subsequent actions.

"Thank you for telling me. It's my fault. My fault."

Shang Lu readily accepted the advice and immediately decided to become one with the world.

Seeing that he was so "sensible", the officials in the county governor's office were also very happy. Shang Lu took the opportunity to use his eloquence again to get information indirectly.

Soon Shang Lu heard something from several clerks: food, spiritual liquids, and spiritual mineral raw materials needed for making various tools and drawing talismans that were requisitioned from various counties in the county and were to be sent to Xingshan were arriving in Chengfeng County one after another.

These clerks were in charge of registration and they all complained that they had been so busy these days that they had no time to go home.

It was not until this moment that Shang Lu realized that what was being escorted to Xingshan was not only food and fodder, but also spiritual liquids, elixirs, spiritual minerals and other things.

These are all worth a lot of money!
No wonder the previous Sima was executed after losing the food and supplies he was transporting.

Considering that Li Hong was certain that he would also lose food, Shang Lu came to a conclusion.

"The loss of grain was not caused by demons or ghosts, nor was it caused by external enemies. It was completely caused by internal traitors... In fact, this is another form of 'fire dragon burning the warehouse'!"

Shang Lu was thinking rapidly in his mind.

He used his eloquence and sophistry to inquire from several clerks who complained that they were too busy: "It is not uncommon to requisition food and grass from local areas, but where do spiritual liquids and spiritual minerals come from?"

"Of course, they are also recruited from the local areas."

Because of his eloquence and sophistry, several clerks did not think that Shang Lu was trying to trick them, and they smiled and told him everything.

"The noble families and sects will take the lead in donating a portion, and the common people from all over the country will raise another portion."

"Where do the common people get the spiritual fluid and spiritual ore?"

"If there is nothing to buy, just pay for it."

When Shang Lu heard this, he understood everything.

This is what is called the gentry paying money and leading the people to donate money. After getting the money, the gentry's money is returned in full, and the people's money is divided into 30% and 70%... and then a scapegoat is put forward to take the blame.

In this way, not only can you make money, but you can also get rid of dissidents. It can be said that you kill two birds with one stone!
Shang Lu, who had figured it out, couldn't help but sneer in his heart: the front-line is ready to fight to the death, but these aristocratic sects in the rear are only thinking about taking advantage of the opportunity to make money from the war. Aren't they really afraid that the front line will collapse and the country will be destroyed?

On second thought, these aristocratic sects might not be afraid after all.

Even if the Chu State really invaded, it would only change the ruler and the court. As long as they wrote the surrender letter quickly, they would still be aristocratic clans, and could continue to serve as officials and obtain cultivation resources.

Although the Chu State has its own aristocratic sects, it also needs more power to help them guard the secret realm, resist foreign enemies, and expand their territory.

"They dare to do this, which means that there are many noble families and sects involved in this matter."

"This is a big deal! But it's better if it's a big deal, so that we can attract Wei Wu..."

Shang Lu sneered to himself.

The clerks had no idea what Shang Lu was thinking. After complaining a few words, they went back to their work.

After Shang Lu took a tour of the county lieutenant's mansion, he returned to his office and continued to read military documents.

His every move was secretly watched by someone.

But because Shang Lu was good at using his tongue, these spies did not find it strange. The people behind them naturally did not expect that Shang Lu had seen through what they did.

In their opinion, it is impossible for a person who came from a lowly official family to have such insight.

Little did he know that he had underestimated Shanglu's situation.

In the blink of an eye, it was noon, and Shang Lu left the county governor's mansion before noon.

He first returned home, put a Yan Yang Pill in his mouth, and activated the Dragon and Tiger Dan Qi to practice.

After finishing his training at noon, Shang Lu did not go to the county lieutenant's mansion, but went straight to the witch academy.

When he arrived at the gate of the Wuyuan, he burned incense in front of the stone statues of the dragon and the tiger as usual, and then asked the Mountain Lord and the Cloud Lord if they could help him find a teacher.

The dragon and tiger stone statues look proud.

"We still have some respect in the Witch House. Don't worry, everything has been arranged."

Shang Lu was overjoyed and asked who the teacher was and where to go to seek advice.

The dragon and tiger stone statues said:

"Don't worry, first demonstrate the Dragon Roar and Tiger Howl magical power that I taught you yesterday to us, so that we can see whether you have practiced it seriously after you go back."

"If you haven't practiced seriously, don't go looking for a master to learn from you today. Practice Dragon Roar and Tiger Roar seriously first, then talk about other things."

Seeing that the dragon and tiger stone statues were going to check their learning situation, Shang Lu smiled and said "OK". After Yun Jun sprayed mist to cover the surroundings, he used the dragon roar and tiger roar magic.

Shan Jun and Yun Jun carefully evaluated it, pointed out a few minor problems, and then nodded with satisfaction:

"Not bad. It seems that you have practiced seriously since you went back yesterday." "Good progress. Keep it up and you will be able to get started soon."

After praising Shang Lu for a few words, the dragon and tiger stone statues warned him to be modest and cautious.

Finally, he said, "The teacher of the military witch class should be at Feixian Waterfall right now. You can go there to look for him. As for the teacher of the Nuo witch class, wait until it gets dark and go to Zhaixing Peak to look for her."

Shang Lu wrote down the address, bowed and thanked the dragon and tiger stone statues, and asked the two teachers' names. This time, the dragon and tiger stone statues kept it a secret and laughed:

"Just go and you'll know when you get there."

"Don't worry, they all know you, so they won't make any mistakes."

Shang Lu had no choice but to agree. After entering the Wu Academy, he rushed to Feixian Waterfall to find the teacher of the military witch class.

However, when he arrived at Feixian Waterfall, he did not see anyone.

He was wondering why and was about to take out the Jade Token from the Witch Academy to send a message to the dragon and tiger stone statues to ask what was going on when he suddenly heard someone calling his name.

"Where are you looking? Here, under the waterfall."

Shang Lu looked in the direction of the sound and indeed saw a stone under the waterfall... No, it was a person... Uh, that wasn't right either, it was a panda.

"But Hua Xue Lu?" Shang Lu greeted tentatively.

He didn't know if there was another panda spirit in the witch academy, and in his eyes, all pandas looked the same, not to mention that they had just taken a bath and soaked in water, which was quite different from usual.

"It's me. Don't look around. I'm the military wizard that Shanjun and Yunjun found for you."

Hua Xuelu walked out from under the waterfall, shook his body violently, splashing water everywhere, and instantly shook all the hair on his body dry.

Shang Lu quickly bowed his hands to express his gratitude, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Hua Xuelu to also follow the path of a soldier or a wizard. If I had known this earlier, I would have been shameless and asked Hua Xuelu for more advice."

"Mr. Shan and Mr. Yun are right. You really know how to talk."

Hua Xuelu laughed: "If you can talk, talk more. I love to listen."

Since Hua Xuelu had made the request, Shang Lu naturally had to satisfy him. He immediately used his eloquence to flatter Hua Xuelu, making him smile so happily that his mouth almost stretched to the back of his head. He patted his chest and boasted to Shang Lu:

"I'm not bragging. My ancestors fought alongside Chi You, the Lord of Arms. They worked together seamlessly and were invincible. It's no exaggeration to say that my skills as a warrior wizard were taught by the Lord of Arms himself!"

Shang Lu nodded repeatedly, thinking that it made sense. According to the legend, Chi You's mount was a panda. Didn't they charge into the battle together and kill indiscriminately with the panda's cackling sound?
It was just Chiyou who was responsible for the indiscriminate killing...

Of course, Hua Xuelu's ancestors were definitely responsible for more than just "Gaga". How could they not have some skills to be able to serve as Chi You's mount? Among the mounts of gods and Buddhas, which one is easy to use?

Shang Lu immediately bowed to Hua Xuelu with a serious look and asked him to teach him the ways of military warfare and witchcraft.

Hua Xuelu also looked serious. After accepting Shang Lu's greeting, he found a stone to sit on. He originally wanted to sit cross-legged in meditation, but his legs were too short to do so.

"Tell me first what you have learned in the previous military wizard class and what stage you have reached in your training..."

Shang Lu immediately told Hua Xuelu about his studies in military witchcraft.

After listening to the lesson, Hua Xuelu actually developed a set of learning content based on Shang Lu's situation, which included teaching military skills.

On the one hand, the content of military skills is more useful for Shanglu.

On the other hand, Hua Xuelu is not good at the other three military and witch schools.

It is born with supernatural powers and thick skin, so it is suitable for being a brave general. It is not suitable for jobs that require brainpower.

Shang Lu had no objection. For him, military skills were indeed the most suitable path at the moment. He would be satisfied if he could learn a few powerful military skills to defend himself.

However, on this day, Hua Xuelu did not teach any military skills or theoretical knowledge, he just practiced with Shang Lu.

In the sparring that is close to actual combat, Shang Lu honed his use of essence and qi, and improved his control over his body and the sensitivity of his five senses.

Shang Lu also used all the military skills he had learned in this competition and listened to Hua Xuelu's guidance in actual combat.

The competition lasted until it was getting dark. Although Shang Lu did not learn any new military skills, he still felt that he had gained a lot, especially in the use of his own strength and the several military skills he knew. He had a deeper understanding and a deeper grasp of them.

"That's all for today. You can go to Zhaixing Peak to attend the Nuo witchcraft class."

After calling a halt to the sparring, Hua Xuelu touched his belly and said, "I've been fighting with you for so long, I'm hungry too. I have to go to the bamboo forest and steal some spiritual bamboo to eat."

Shang Lu thought, are you going to talk about stealing the spiritual bamboo so openly? He said yes and thanked Hua Xuelu for the "teaching lesson".

This teaching model, which forces mistakes in actual combat and tells students how to improve them, has benefited Shang Lu a lot.

After bidding farewell to Hua Xuelu, Shang Lu went straight to Zhaixing Peak.

Looking at his receding back, Hua Xuelu rubbed his numb bear paw and muttered, "Shan Jun and Yun Jun are right. This kid is indeed interesting."

Then he patted his fat butt and swaggered into the bamboo forest to steal the magical bamboo.

Shang Lu soon arrived at the Star-Picking Peak.

This mountain is located in the back mountain of the Witch Academy and is one of the highest peaks.

When Shang Lu reached the top of the mountain, it was already completely dark.

A crescent moon hangs in the night sky.

Under the moon, at the top of the peak, a yellow-haired fox was worshiping the moon and eating its air.

With the previous experience of Hua Xue Lu, Shang Lu immediately concluded that this yellow-haired fox should be the Nuo witch teacher that Shan Jun and Yun Jun found for him.

The fox, a Hakimi, is considered a good omen in the eyes of witchcraft. It is born with a unique talent in communicating between yin and yang and ghosts and gods, and it is not surprising that it is proficient in the art of Nuo witchcraft.

Shang Lu was just curious. The teachers that the dragon and tiger stone statues found for him were all from the demon clan... Could it be that they didn't want him to get involved in the aristocratic sect too early?
It suited his taste.

Seeing that the fox was worshiping the moon and consuming air, Shang Lu did not make a sound to disturb it, but just stood quietly by and waited.

Only after the fox finished worshipping the moon and turned to look at him did Shang Lu step forward and bow to greet him.

Unexpectedly, the fox looked at him with a strange light in his eyes and asked in human language: "Do you think I look like a human or a god?"

"Huh?" Shang Lu was stunned. Isn't asking for a title something that weasels do? When did foxes start doing this?
He really wanted to say, "I think you look like a 148cm tall, tsundere nine-tailed fox beast girl..." After traveling to this world, he had always wanted to say this when he met Huangpizi asking for a title, just to see what Huangpizi would become.

But when the words came to my lips, I held them back.

At this moment, the fox also laughed out loud: "I was just teasing you, look how scared you are."

Shang Lu thought to himself that I was not scared, but excited.

But he didn't dare to say this out loud. He just bowed and said with a smile, "Senior, you are really good at joking. I wonder how I should address you?"

"Just call me Senior Tushan."

The yellow-haired fox sat upright, trying hard to act like a master, but she couldn't hide the excitement in her eyes. It was obvious that she was quite excited to be a teacher after a great success.

"Let me first tell you about the skills you learned from the Nuo witch."

Like Hua Xuelu, Tu Shanhu asked Shang Lu in detail about his studies in Nuo witchcraft, and then gave a detailed explanation of the knowledge he had mastered.

Tushan Fox did not discuss with Shanglu, but only talked about theory.

After listening to her talk, Shang Lu realized that although he had made the Nuo mask, his use of it was still at a very superficial stage.

Tushan Fox also did not teach Shanglu any new skills.

In her words, what Shang Lu needs to do now is not to learn new skills, but to expand and master the existing skills.

As long as you master these skills, you can achieve twice the result with half the effort and make rapid progress when learning other Nuo witch skills in the future.

In the blink of an eye, Shang Lu had been studying with Hua Xuelu and Tu Shanhu for more than twenty days.

Although I didn't learn any new skills or combat techniques, I benefited a lot from it.

By fully understanding one's inherent abilities, one's strength has been greatly improved.

And at this moment, the conspiracy against him finally began...
