Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 547: Taking credit?

The black cloud was carrying Wei Wu at full speed and had already disappeared without a trace.

Fortunately, when Uncle Huai was helping Wei Wu treat his injuries, he left a few flower demons and grass spirits on his body.

With the help of these flower demons and grass spirits, Uncle Huai quickly locked onto the location of the black cloud and guided Lu Yang all the way.

Although the black cloud was moving very fast, it was after all traveling on a rugged mountain road.

In order to guard against pursuers, the black cloud had to change direction from time to time, making a circle, taking a detour, etc.

In comparison, Lu Yang, who was flying on a sword, was almost not affected by the terrain and environment, and did not need to take detours. He only needed to chase at full speed towards the location of the black clouds.

Even so, it still took a lot of time to catch up with the black cloud.

Heiyun is indeed a smart guy, especially after entering the Qi Refining Realm, he became more alert and noticed someone flying in the sky at the first moment.

As it was running, it glanced back and saw two strange men flying in the air.

The reason why these two people are weird is that their postures are stiff, like puppets, but they can fly very fast.

The black cloud didn't know these two people, and for safety reasons, it planned to go into the dense forest.

You need to find a secret cave or something to hide in, and wait until the strange guy in the sky flies away before continuing on your journey.

The presence of flower demons and grass spirits can release a special fragrance that can cover up the breath of the black cloud and the witch it carries.

However, after walking for a distance in the dense forest and before finding a suitable cave, Heiyun heard a familiar voice in the sky calling its name.

The black cloud suddenly stopped and looked up in surprise.

This time it finally saw clearly that in the sky, above the two strange men flying in the air, there were several flying swords shining with dazzling halos.

The ones standing on the swords were Shang Lu, Lu Yang and Huai Shu.

Heiyun was overjoyed. He suddenly kicked down a big tree beside him with his hoof, and raised his head and cried "whistle" towards the sky.

The sound was as loud as thunder, scaring away many birds and animals in the forest.

Following the sound, Lu Yang spotted the black cloud in mid-air and immediately descended with Shang Lu and Huai Shu.

As soon as they landed, Wei Wu, who was lying on the horse's back, asked with concern: "Are you all right?"

Shang Lu replied: "Thank you for your concern, it's nothing serious."

Wei Wu looked at them and they did not look injured. Especially Shang Lu, after taking the pills and recuperating, his energy recovered a lot. At this moment, his face was no longer pale, and there was a light in his eyes.

In comparison, this Wei Wu was still in a weak state and could not see any changes in the essence and energy in Shang Lu's body.

Therefore, Wei Wu did not think much about it, but just cast a curious look at the two foolish-looking Chu Wus, making some guesses, but feeling it was unbelievable.

"Who are these two people?"

"We killed several of the Chu witches who were chasing you. Here are the two tongues they took."

Lu Yang held his head high and chest puffed out, his face full of pride.

Although the ambush that just happened was mainly the result of Shang Lu's efforts, he also contributed some effort.

Even if Shang Lu got the word "indiscriminate killing", he could at least get the word "ga ga".

Oh, that’s not right. It can only get one “嘎” character, because Uncle Huai also contributed, so he also deserves a “嘎” character.

Wu Wei didn't know what Lu Yang was thinking. He widened his eyes and exclaimed, "Did you really kill the Chu Wu who was chasing me? Where's the Chu Wu in the Mingxin realm? Didn't he chase me?"

It's no wonder that Wei Wu was so surprised. He knew very well how powerful the Chu Wu team that was chasing him was. If he hadn't turned into stone and escaped, he would have died long ago.

Shang Lu, Lu Yang and Huai Shu, obviously their skills were not as good as those of the pursuers, yet they killed them and did not seem to be injured at all. How could this Wu Wei not be shocked?

"Of course the Mingxin state of mind Chu Wu did chase after us, but he has now turned into a pool of blood, and even his soul has scattered." Lu Yang said proudly.

Wei Wu looked at Shang Lu and asked, "Is that true?"

Shang Lu nodded and said, "It is just as Senior Brother Lu said. The pursuers have been completely destroyed. You don't have to worry about it anymore."

"Great, great." Wei Wu was overjoyed and asked curiously, "How did you do it?"

Shang Lu didn't brag, and said with a smile: "It's just luck."

His answer was not a false one.

In his opinion, luck did play a big role in his ability to kill the pursuers this time.

Wu Wei did not ask any further questions, but only sighed: "You are really blessed! It is really enviable!"

"Why envy?"

Shang Lu said: "You were able to escape from the enemy territory, being chased all the way, and still escape alive with intelligence. This is really a great opportunity. As the saying goes, those who survive a great disaster will have good fortune in the future."

"Thank you for your kind words." Wei Wu said with a bow, then sighed and said, "Indeed. Compared with my fellow comrades, I am very lucky to be able to come back alive."

While the two were praising each other's business, Lu Yang seemed a little unhappy.

He questioned Wei Wu: "Brother, you are a bit dishonest. You doubt what I say. Why don't you doubt what he says?"

Wei Wu burst out laughing and was about to explain a few words when suddenly his vision went dark, his body tilted, and he was about to fall off Heiyun's back.

"Oh my god." Lu Yang was startled and quickly supported Wei Wu, saying anxiously: "What happened? I just said that you were a little bit unkind, why did you faint from anger?"

If the other party was not a Wei Wu, Lu Yang would have wanted to shout out something like "Are you trying to scam me?"

"He didn't faint because of you."

After Uncle Huai checked Wei Wu's physical condition, he said, "He was very weak. He had been holding on with all his might. When he heard that the pursuers were killed, his mood changed from panic to surprise. His mental fluctuations were too great and too intense for him to bear, so he passed out."

"That's true." Shang Lu agreed.

Wei Wu's sudden coma also scared him. Fortunately, he saw the Qi in Wei Wu's body through his spiritual wisdom. Although it was weak and disordered, it had not collapsed, which meant that there was no serious problem.

Shang Lu was a good person. He did not scare the nervous Lu Yang and said, "He is extremely exhausted both physically and mentally. It would be good for him to have a good sleep. Don't wake him up. Just send him to Xingshan Military Town."

"It turns out that everything is fine. I was shocked."

After hearing what Uncle Huai and Shang Lu said, Lu Yang breathed a sigh of relief.

After thinking for a while, he said, "You have to help me testify that he fainted due to emotional fluctuations. It has nothing to do with me. If he really got into trouble, I will not admit it."

Shang Lu shook his head and laughed, urging Lu Yang to take Heiyun and Wei Wu with them and set off quickly.

"If you don't want anything to go wrong, send him to Xingshan Military Town as soon as possible. As long as he is sent there, you will only be rewarded, not punished."

"Okay, okay." Lu Yang nodded repeatedly, without wasting any more time, and hurriedly urged the flying sword to carry everyone and flew towards Xingshan Military Town.

On the way, Lu Yang finally couldn't help but ask Shang Lu: "Shang Junior Brother, when did you join Wei Wu?"

Shang Lu replied, "He is on his way to Xingshan, delivering military supplies and fodder."

Lu Yang asked again: "Was it the Rat Patrol who brought you to the Wei Wu?"

"Yes." Shang Lu nodded in response.

Lu Yang complained: "Why haven't I heard you mention it before? You even hid it from me, how unkind!"

Shang Lu explained, "It's not that I want to hide it from you, but the Rat Patrol has asked me not to reveal the identity of the witch for the time being."

"Why is this?" Lu Yang asked puzzled.

But he quickly reacted and asked, "He wants you to come to Xingshan to investigate the internal spy and conceal your identity so as not to alert the internal spy?"

Obviously, Lu Yang deduced this result from the mission of the previous team of Wei Wu.

Although there is a deviation, it is not far from the truth.

"Almost." Shang Lu nodded and reminded: "Since Senior Brother Lu knows my identity, please help keep it secret."

"I will keep it a secret!"

Lu Yang nodded his head repeatedly and said, "I understand. If your identity is exposed, your mission of investigating the traitor will be ruined, and you will be invited to drink tea by Wu Wei. Once I drink this tea, I will be finished."

Shang Lu wanted to say that it wasn't that serious, but he swallowed the words back. It was better to let Lu Yang be more afraid. He didn't say anything, but after making some assurances, Lu Yang couldn't help but ask again: "Junior Brother Shang, what are the conditions for joining Wei Wu?"

"Why, Senior Brother Lu, do you want to join Weiwu?" Shang Lu asked.

"You're asking even though you already know the answer. I want it so badly!"

Lu Yang did not hide his thoughts and wishes at all.

Shang Lu said: "But you are..."

"Are you asking the right person?" Lu Yang was overjoyed and hurried to say.

Shang Lu shook his head: "No, you asked the wrong person."

"Huh?" The excitement and joy on Lu Yang's face suddenly froze.

Shang Lu did not wait for him to ask, and continued: "I really don't know what the requirements are for joining the Weiwu, but I know that the Rat Patrol is not only examining me, but also you. As long as your performance satisfies the Rat Patrol, he will come to find you and introduce you to the Weiwu."

Although Lu Yang was not born into a common family, he was not from a noble family either. He could barely be considered a disciple from a poor and declining family.

So Shang Lu's words were not meant to deceive Lu Yang. The Rat Patrol was indeed secretly observing him, to see his abilities and his character.

"Ah? The Rat Patrol also inspected me?"

Lu Yang suddenly became nervous and asked hurriedly: "What should I do to pass the inspection?"

"To be honest with you, Senior Brother Lu, I really don't know."

Shang Lu smiled bitterly and said, "And Senior Brother Lu also saw what happened to the Di Ting Shi and the Yin Tong. The Rat Patrol must have many ways to determine whether your actions are from your heart. If you do it deliberately and try to please them, I'm afraid it will backfire."

"Makes sense."

Lu Yang recalled the strangeness of the Di Ting Shi and the Pan Yin Tong, and nodded repeatedly. At the same time, he also understood Shang Lu's meaning. If one deliberately does something in order to pass the assessment, it will indeed have the opposite effect.

All he can do now is to make more achievements so that the Rat Patrol can see his performance.

After figuring this out, Lu Yang stopped disturbing Shang Lu and drove his flying sword at full speed to continue on his journey.

When they arrived at the vicinity of Xingshan Military Town, Shang Lu and his men were once again disturbed by the mirage maze.

Because the Red Moon Wizard King Jing Chunshen fought his way to the outside of Xingshan Military Town a few days ago, the surrounding mirage maze has been strengthened and is much more powerful than before.

Similarly, the level of scout patrols around Xingshan Military Town has also been significantly improved compared to before.

Shang Lu and his men went through layers of inspection before they arrived at the foot of Xingshan Military Town.

He had just landed his flying sword and was about to show his identity and ask for the city gate to be opened, but he was stopped by a team of patrolling border troops.

The leader was a military officer.

As soon as he raised his hand, the soldiers under his command quickly formed a battle formation and surrounded Shang Lu and others.

"One of our own."

Lu Yang hurriedly showed the witch card, not because he was afraid of this team of border troops, but because he did not want to have a conflict due to misunderstanding.

Shang Lu also took out his fake Sima badge to show his identity.

After checking the identities of Shang Lu and Lu Yang, this team of border troops restrained their murderous intent, but they did not put away their weapons or withdraw their troops.

The military officer who led the team, although his official position and cultivation were not as good as Shang Lu and Lu Yang, had a bad temper.

His face darkened as he snorted, "You're from Baiyi County? Didn't you receive military orders to patrol and hunt zombies? Why are you back? Did you desert your post? Or did you flee from the battlefield?"

His eyes fell on the unconscious Wei Wu and the two foolish Chu Wus, frowned and asked, "What happened to these three people?"

Shang Lu was not angry. He was used to the border troops looking down on the county soldiers. He explained, "We did not leave our post without permission, nor did we desert the battlefield. It was a Wei Wu who sneaked into the enemy's rear to gather intelligence. He rushed back with important intelligence. We met him and did not dare to neglect him, so we personally escorted him back."

The military officer raised his eyebrows, and immediately thought of a plan. He said, "The military town has been under full martial law. Just hand the person over to us. You should go back quickly and continue to patrol the corpses and ghosts. Don't miss the mission!"

When Lu Yang heard this, his face suddenly darkened, and he suspected that this military officer wanted to usurp their credit.

He was about to question him, but was secretly pulled back by Shang Lu.

"It would be great if the general is willing to help. Thank you for your hard work, brothers!"

Shang Lu bowed and said, then turned around to call Heiyun and Huaishu, and handed over the unconscious Wei Wu and the foolish Chu Wu to the border troops.

Seeing how cooperative he was, the officer's tense face relaxed a lot.

After handing the man over to the border army, Shang Lu let Lu Yang fly away on his sword.

Although he had recovered some of his energy, it was still not enough to use the feather cloak, so he could only let Lu Yang continue to serve as his "swordsman".

Lu Yang was very reluctant, but finally listened to Shang Lu and did not conflict with the border army. He flew away on his sword carrying Shang Lu, Huai Shu and Hei Yun.

However, after flying a distance, he couldn't help but speak up: "Brother Shang, I think that military officer clearly wanted to take credit, why did you give the person to them?"

Shang Lu was not worried at all, and laughed: "Don't worry, Senior Brother Lu, no one can take credit for our achievements."

"What? You were prepared for this?" Lu Yang suddenly became interested.

Shang Lu did not keep the secret and said, "Rat Patrol has reported this to the Grand Priest, and Xu Zhen has also reported this to Rabbit Patrol. It would be fine if that team did not take credit just now, but if they really dare to take credit, Rabbit Patrol will not miss the opportunity and will definitely punish them first, and then clean up Xingshanwei."

This invasion by the State of Chu exposed many problems in Xingshan Wei.

Especially the Chu army that infiltrated the rear, they could come and go as they pleased, even more at will than the Ba army itself. This shows that Xingshan Wei had already been infiltrated by the Chu State and become a sieve.

Whether it was General Yan Man, the Chief of Arms Li Xuan, or the Maotu Patrol, they all noticed this situation and wanted to take action to rectify Xingshanwei.

It just lacks the timing.

Although Lu Yang is a bit impulsive, he is not a stupid person.

After listening to Shang Lu's words, he immediately understood all these twists and turns, and sighed: "It turns out that you have dug a big hole for them!"

Shang Lu refused to admit it: "How can you say that I set the trap? If they don't have bad intentions, nothing will happen naturally."

Lu Yang didn't believe it and said, "What they were thinking just now was written on their faces. Can't you see it? You did it on purpose."

After a pause, he became a little worried: "If the Maotu Patrol really uses this as an excuse to clean up Xingshanwei, we will become the 'public enemy' of Xingshanwei."

"What, are you scared?"

Shang Lu smiled, and then said seriously: "If you cherish your life and fear death, you can't be a Wei Wu!"

Lu Yang was stunned, and for once he did not respond, he fell into deep thought.

At the same time, outside the Xingshan Military Town.

The military officer who watched Shang Lu and the others leave snorted coldly: "They should know what's best for them!"

He then turned around and called a team of his trusted men, asking them to take the man to the military town and to the general's office.

A confidant asked, "Boss, after we send the man there, who should we give the credit to?"

"Nonsense, do you even need to ask this?" The military officer raised his eyebrows and scolded, "Of course it's ours. Are you trying to win credit for that bunch of useless county soldiers?"

Glancing at the unconscious Wei Wu and the stupid Chu Wu, he hummed and said, "If it is really important information, then our brothers have picked up a great achievement for nothing! Even if it is not important information, we 'rescued' Wei Wu and 'captured' Chu Wu, so we should be rewarded according to our merits."

The confidant said worriedly: "I'm afraid those two people just now..."

The military officer didn't take it seriously and sneered, "What's there to be afraid of? They are just a group of county soldiers. How dare they fight with our border troops? They are rebelling! I heard that the county lieutenant of Baiyi County was recently convicted and demoted. I'm afraid they won't be able to jump around for a few more days. It's useless for them to get this credit. It's better to give it to our brothers! By the way, when you report your credit, don't forget to include the names of the lieutenant and the military commander."

"Yes!"

The confidant crossed his hands and accepted the order, smiling and flattering: "If the captain and the Sima knew about this, they would be very happy, and they might even add more responsibilities to you, the boss."

No one knows how the captain and Sima Hui feel.

But Jun Hou was very happy at this moment.

He laughed and said, "You are still good at talking. Well, when I get promoted and become rich, I will definitely find a sister-in-law for you!"
