Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 81 The Strange Rules of the Secret Realm (Please collect and read)
Shang Lu certainly would not ask the witch about this matter, but just asked:

"What if the difference in strength is huge, or the other party has also trained his body?"

"Then run as far as you can, sound the gong to warn, and call for reinforcements."

Shang Lu thought to himself that as expected, if you want to kill an enemy above your level, you will be doomed unless you have a cheat.

He asked a few more questions related to evil spirits, and the witch answered them one by one without any impatience.

After asking these questions, Shang Lu changed the subject and talked about the monster snake.

"Not long ago, we heard from the villagers that there was a strange snake that liked to compete with humans for height. Once it was taller than humans, it would eat them. If it was not taller than humans, it would kill itself with anger... Does the witch know what's going on?"

The witch glanced at him and pointed out: "This strange snake you are talking about is from Yunhua Mountain, right?"

Shang Lu was stunned. From what the witch said, it seemed that he knew the secret of Yunhua Mountain?
"Don't be surprised. The witch officer told me."

Wu Zhu explained: "When the Wu official came to Luoshui County and listened to your report, he immediately found me and asked about the situation of Yunhua Mountain and Luoyingtan."

Shang Lu nodded suddenly and thought to himself, so that's how it is.

The witch doctor said, "In fact, I have already reported the strange situation in these two places, but for some reason, the two witch officials who came to Luoshui County were unaware of it."

She shook her head and didn't continue the topic.

After looking around and making sure that no one was around, the witch lowered his voice:

“If there really is a new secret realm in Yunhua Mountain, then the strange snake’s strange behavior can be explained.

Because secret realms often have their own set of rules, and satisfying the rules is more useful than killing the treacherous creatures head-on!"

Does the secret realm have its own set of rules?

Combining the experience of entering the strange fog last time, Shang Lu nodded secretly and felt that it was indeed the case.

The monster snake wants to compete with others for height, and if it can't win, it will kill itself in anger.

Jiao Er, who had turned into a monster, kept complaining about being hungry. Once he realized that he couldn't be full no matter how much he ate, he would get so angry that he would die.

From this we can see that if there really is a secret realm in Yunhua Mountain, then the rules of the secret realm are most likely related to desire.

The strange monsters inside are driven by desire and "live" like zombies.

As long as the desire exists, they can continue to die and be reborn.

But once they find that their desires are not satisfied, they will be completely angry.

So, what about outsiders who break into the secret realm? Will they also be affected by the rules of the secret realm?

"of course."

The witch told Shang Lu: "As long as you enter the secret realm, the rules will take effect. No matter if you are an outsider or a cunning person in the secret realm, you must follow them."

At this point, the witch's expression became serious and he earnestly instructed:

“Unless you are strong enough to ignore the rules of the secret realm, do not rashly enter the secret realm.

Especially if you are not clear about the rules of the secret realm, it is very dangerous to rush in rashly.

Because you don’t know which of your actions will trigger the rules of the secret realm and bring about a fatal disaster!”

Shang Lu bowed in response, thanking the wizard for his advice, but he felt a little scared in his heart.

Fortunately, he had entered the secret realm before, and both his desire to hunt and his desire to get out of the strange fog were satisfied.

Otherwise, he might end up like Jiao Er and the Bigo snake, getting angry to death in the strange fog and turning into a monster.

But at the same time, Shang Lu was a little puzzled.

The sultry weather that affects the entire Luoshui County, as well as the evil spirit contained in this strange weather, are they also related to the rules of the secret realm?
Shang Lu hinted that he had been affected by the hot and humid weather recently and felt in a bad mood. He asked the witch whether this matter was related to the rules of the secret realm in Yunhua Mountain.

The witch shook his head and said there was no connection between the two.

"The rules only take effect in the secret realm and will not affect the outside world."

This answer gave Shang Lu a new question: Where did the evil spirit that drives people crazy come from?

Shang Lu followed the topic and asked a few more questions related to the secret realm.

Wu Zhu told Shang Lu everything she knew and could say, which made him gain a lot. Finally, Shang Lu bowed to Wu Zhu seriously and thanked her for her teaching.

After Shang Lu said goodbye and left, the little girl who had been accompanying the witch asked with some confusion:

"Grandma, why did you tell him so much?"

"He is a talented and well-connected man with great potential. The Witch Academy will be recruiting new members soon. As a witch master, I will naturally pay attention to and cultivate good talents for the Witch Academy..."

Having said this, the witch suddenly fell silent.

After a moment, she sighed quietly:

“It’s hard to say whether entering the witch academy and starting to practice is good or bad.

Thinking back to my time, I was also a genius with extraordinary talent and was the best in the world!

What was the result? After decades of not making any breakthroughs, he could only come here to be a witch...

My child, remember, the path of cultivation is far from being as glorious as outsiders imagine!

If you want to move forward, you must fight with all your might, otherwise you will just become a stepping stone for others to rise."

The little girl nodded ignorantly, not knowing whether she understood or not.

On the other side, Shang Lu went straight home after bidding farewell to the witch.

He took out a pen and paper and wrote down all the experiences and lessons the witch had told him.

As the old saying goes, a good memory is not as good as a bad pen, and Shang Lu thinks it makes sense.

As for whether the things recorded on paper would be leaked? Shang Lu was not worried at all.

After he finished recording, he burned the pages of paper in front of Sanniang.

Sure enough, just as he finished burning his paper, a few more pages of paper appeared in Sanniang's hand.

It was exactly what he had written down.

In this way, apart from him and Sanniang, no one else would know the contents of the paper.

After finishing this task, Shang Lu took out the equipment he had just bought and familiarized himself with it.

He also designed several tactics to use these equipment to launch surprise attacks on the enemy, asked Sanniang to help him with the tactics, and practiced them in actual combat.

After a busy period, time is almost up.

After eating and drinking, Shang Lu went to the county government office to take over the shift with Captain Niu.

He stayed in the police squad for a while, and seeing that there was nothing to do, he went to take a look around the armory.

A day passed like this, and nothing happened in Luoshui County, and peace seemed to have returned.

The county magistrate and the chief clerk both breathed a sigh of relief and began to think about how to write the report so as to better seek credit from their superiors.

That day, after taking over the shift with Captain Niu, Shang Lu walked out of the yamen and planned to go to Yunhua Mountain to see the strange fog again.

The demons and ghosts that broke into the strange fog should have killed each other almost completely. He could just sit back and reap the benefits, pick up more flesh and blood, and let Sanniang make meat pills.

But this time when you go in, you have to set your goal lower. Don’t let yourself get angry and kill yourself by triggering the rules of the secret realm because your desires cannot be satisfied.

After returning home, Shang Lu and Sanniang took all the equipment and a large bag of newly bought realgar powder, left the house together and prepared to go to Yunhua Mountain.

But before he walked out of the city gate, he was stopped by an officer who was running around the street delivering messages.

"Captain Shang, hurry back to the yamen. The county magistrate and the chief clerk have ordered everyone to return to the yamen immediately!"

"Why is this happening? What happened?" Shang Lu asked.

"I do not know either."

The officer who summoned him shook his head.

"I only know that the matter is probably not simple, because the county magistrate and the chief clerk are very anxious."
