Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 27: Sanniang is missing (please read)
Shanglu married Sanniang in the witch temple of Hou Tu Niangniang.

It was thanks to Sanniang that he was able to heal his wounds, nourish his internal organs, and activate his five internal organs. He was able to recover his cultivation and achieve good results in the performance test.

He was even able to "come back to life" after his parents went to the witch temple and worshipped Hou Tu Niangniang.

Therefore, Shang Lu was not lying when he said that he had received help from Hou Tu Niangniang.

But Sun Ying didn't believe him.

What level of existence is Hou Tu Niangniang? How could she help a small constable like you?

But Captain Ma seemed to believe this and nodded, saying, "So it's the Queen Mother Hou Tu, no wonder she's so efficacious. When I'm done with these two days, I'll get some sacrifices and go to her temple to worship."

He also reminded: "Don't forget to prepare sacrifices to thank the Queen Mother Hou Tu for her help."

He looks like a good leader who always cares about his subordinates.

Shang Lu responded, "Thank you Captain Ma for reminding me. I will prepare the sacrifices and fulfill my vow tomorrow."

After chatting for a few words, Shang Lu said goodbye and left.

As soon as he walked away, Sun Ying couldn't wait to say, "Captain, he is definitely not worshipping Hou Tu Niang Niang, but most likely evil gods and demons. While the witch officer is still here, go and report him..."

Before Sun Ying could finish his words, Captain Ma suddenly turned around and slapped him in the face again.

The crisp sound of "pop" not only stunned Sun Ying again, but also made the people around him quickly distance themselves for fear of being affected.

Sun Ying covered his face, bleeding from the corner of his mouth, and asked, "Captain, why did you hit me again?"

Captain Ma gnashed his teeth and cursed in a low voice:

"Think more with your brain! The witch officer was here just now. If Shang Lu really worshipped evil gods and evil ghosts, they would have arrested him long ago. Why would they give him a reward? You want me to report Shang Lu? Humph, is that reporting Shang Lu? It's clearly questioning the witch officer! How many lives do I have to question the witch officer?"

Sun Ying then realized that what he had just said was indeed inappropriate.

It’s all Shanglu’s fault. He made me so angry.

He wanted to defend himself, but seeing Captain Ma's angry look, he dared not say more and could only ask, "Did Shang Lu really receive guidance from the Queen Mother Hou Tu?"

"How can it be!"

Although Captain Ma looked like that just now, he didn't believe Shang Lu's words at all.

He squinted his eyes and thought: "Shanglu must have encountered some rare treasures..."

Suddenly, he remembered the strange situation in Yunhua Mountain that Shang Lu reported some time ago.

Previously, he and Captain Niu thought that Shang Lu was actively investigating the strange situation in Yunhua Mountain in order to use this incident to gain merit and get rewards, so that he could repay the money he borrowed from the Black Wind Gang after being dismissed.

But looking back now, that wasn’t the case at all.

Since Shang Lu has the ability to achieve perfect bone-cutting, how could he possibly worry about being dismissed?
"So, he got some kind of opportunity in the mist of Yunhua Mountain? Or maybe he ate the strange snake in the mist, which led to a significant increase in his cultivation?"

Captain Ma felt that this was very likely to happen.

Otherwise, how to explain Shang Lu's enthusiasm for investigating the strange situation in Yunhua Mountain, even at the cost of offending himself?
He must have tasted the sweetness in the fog of Yunhua Mountain, so he actively wanted to get more benefits.

"Could it be that a new secret realm has really been born in the fog of Yunhua Mountain?"

Captain Ma's heart was pounding, and the sultry weather made his desires grow wildly.

If this is the case, it would explain why Shanglu's five internal organs recovered and his cultivation level soared.

Although the secret realm is accompanied by many strange dangers, it also contains many opportunities and benefits.

Captain Ma thought again of the incident in which Shang Lu was bitten by a mad dog.

Those injuries were most likely not caused by the mad dog, but by the strange fog and the weird evil spirits in the secret realm!
At that time, Shang Lu should have recovered some strength by relying on the benefits he gained from the strange fog and the secret realm.

He wanted to investigate further, but encountered strange and evil spirits and was injured.

But they were all superficial injuries, with no broken bones or damage to the internal organs.

He even gained some new benefits, which enabled him to break through to the perfection of bone-breaking!

But there was one thing that Captain Ma couldn't figure out.

Since Shang Lu had gained so many benefits in the fog of Yunhua Mountain, why did he report this matter to him and Captain Niu, and ask them to report it to the witch officer?

Captain Ma was not confused for too long and soon figured out the reason:

"Yes, the strange situation in Yunhua Mountain cannot be concealed, and he may have encountered a powerful evil spirit in the fog that he could not defeat. He could not continue to explore, so he simply chose to report it. Once the witch official comes and confirms that a new secret realm has really appeared in Yunhua Mountain, he will have done a great deed and can get a lot of benefits!"

"This kid is really cunning, why didn't I see it before?"

Captain Ma felt that he had figured out everything.

After listening to his analysis, Sun Ying was pleasantly surprised and said hurriedly, "Then we should also go to the mist of Yunhua Mountain to look for treasures!"

After a brief pause, Captain Ma nodded.

This should indeed be investigated.

Regardless of whether Shanglu's surge in strength is related to the fog in Yunhua Mountain, it would always be a good idea to check.

He glanced at the two white-collar constables waiting not far away and whispered:

"Those two men were Shang Lu's men before, and they have investigated the Yunhua Mountain incident. Let them investigate, go into the fog, and lead the way for us to see what kind of dangers are hidden in Yunhua Mountain."

"They used to be Shanglu's people, and now they have surrendered to you. It's hard to say whether they are loyal. This is a good opportunity to test them."

At this point, Captain Ma sneered and said, "Bai Yi is not a regular employee. It will be easier to deal with him if he dies."

"Yes." Sun Ying replied in a low voice.

Captain Ma ordered again: "Don't just sit there, keep watching Shang Lu and see if you can find any clues."

"Ah? Me?" Sun Ying looked shocked.

Captain Ma said dissatisfiedly: "What are you afraid of? I didn't ask you to fight him. If we really want to fight, it won't be your turn."

Sun Ying didn't dare to question or object anymore and could only nod in agreement.

At the same time, he couldn't help but ask, "What about my regular military position?"

Captain Ma glared at him and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Once I seize Shang Lu's opportunity, his position as a regular soldier will be yours."

Sun Ying didn't dare to ask any more questions, and replied with a folded hand, "Yes, thank you, Captain."

Afterwards, he went to find the new white-collar constables who had joined him.

He first comforted them by saying that he would definitely become a regular soldier and asked them not to worry.

Then he ordered them to enter the fog of Yunhua Mountain to investigate.

These unemployed constables felt regretful and complained in their hearts, but they did not dare to refuse.

Although Sun Ying still failed to become a regular soldier, who could blame him for having a brother-in-law who was a captain of the police?

If you offend him, you might not even be able to be a freelance constable and you can only obey his orders.

On the other hand, as Shang Lu was leaving the training ground, people kept inviting him.

Shang Lu declined all the offers, saying that he had to go back to Shuanggui Village to report the good news of his passing the exam to his parents, and that he would host a party another day to invite everyone to drink and celebrate.

He made his attitude clear, and naturally everyone had no objection and agreed.

Du Feng accompanied Shang Lu all the way until they reached the alley where he lived, and then they stopped to say goodbye.

Shang Lu invited: "Would you like to come to my house and have a seat?"

"No, no."

Du Feng looked at the two lanterns, one red and one white, swaying in the wind deep in the alley. He felt a chill on his back and his head shook like a rattle.

"Head Lu, you still have to go to Shuanggui Village later, so I won't waste your time. I'll go back to the government office first. If you need me to do anything, just come to the government office and find me."

After saying this, he ran away as if he was escaping, fearing that if he walked too slowly, Shang Lu would drag him into the haunted house.

Looking at him running away in a panic, Shang Lu laughed loudly.

Turning around, he walked into the alley, pushed open the cold door, took out the food box, and greeted happily:
"I'm back. I passed my performance test and got a reward. Come give me a hug, let's celebrate."

The yard was dark and quiet.

There was no sunlight shining through the lush leaves, and no one responded.

Nor did he see the blood-red figure.
