Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 42: Let's see who can be taller than me (Please save and read!)
Sanniang didn't say a word, but the oil-paper umbrella placed in the main room flew up by itself and fell into Shang Lu's hands.

"I knew that you loved me, Sanniang, and you wouldn't let me take risks alone."

Shang Lu put the oil-paper umbrella into the umbrella bag with a smile and slung it across his shoulder.

If possible, Shang Lu would like to wait for a few days to consolidate his cultivation first, practice the Chaos Cloak Sword Technique and Tiger Step Kung Fu to a small degree of success, and then go to Yunhua Mountain to hunt the strange snake.

But time waits for no one.

The witch official has already gone to Yunhua Mountain. I believe it won’t take long before he confirms that there is a secret realm in the mountain and then informs the Witch Academy.

Once the people from the Witch Academy arrive, it will be impossible to enter the mountain.

If you want to hunt the strange snake, you can only create a time difference in these few days.

Although Shang Lu was still unclear about the specific situation inside Yunhua Mountain, he also didn't know whether there were any other dangerous evil spirits hidden besides the strange snake.

But with Sanniang by my side, even if there is any danger, it can be avoided.

After all, the bloody meat paste that Sanniang gave him to eat was cut from Yunhua Mountain. She must be familiar with the situation in the mountain.

As I walked out of the house, a sultry wave of air hit me in the face.

The heavy rain last night only made the weather cool for a few hours. As soon as the rain stopped today, the temperature began to rise again. However, the moisture brought by the heavy rain is still there, making this world more and more like a big steamer.

Shang Lu raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his face, and suddenly thought: "Could the recent abnormally hot and humid weather also be related to the secrets and strangeness of Yunhua Mountain?"

When we arrived at the county government office, it was still early and the third shift courtyard was quiet. Only a few constables had arrived for duty and they were all yawning and rubbing their eyes, looking as if they had not yet woken up.

Seeing this, Shang Lu estimated that it would take some time before the report was due, so he went to the armory in the county government office first, found the clerk who had also just woken up, registered, and changed to a new oxtail knife.

The storekeeper pulled out the old knife that Shang Lu handed over, took a look at it, and said in amazement: "Captain Shang, what did you cut with this knife?"

Shang Lu had already thought of an excuse, and he spoke immediately: "What else could it be? The bean soldiers from yesterday's performance exam. They are obviously made of soybeans, but they are harder than armor, and the sword can be broken."

"That's the magic bean in the witch officer's hand, how can it not be hard?" said the store clerk. After figuring out the reason, he was no longer curious and put the broken sword into the warehouse, to be handed over to the craftsmen for forging and repair later.

With the new knife in hand, Shang Lu returned to the third shift courtyard. After waiting for a while, the talents gradually arrived.

Shang Lu took a quick look and saw that Shi Fan, Chu Xing and the others were still not there. They probably had not returned from their investigation at Yunhua Mountain yet.

Sun Ying did come, and when he looked at Shang Lu, he couldn't hide the resentment in his eyes.

Shang Lu noticed this and thought to himself, don't worry, Zhao Hai is already dead, and it will be you and Captain Ma's turn next.

But Captain Ma is not like Zhao Hai, he is an official, and the leader of the police squad. If he is killed, the county government will definitely conduct a strong investigation, and even the witch officer will help.

So you have to be patient and wait for the right opportunity.

Shang Lu believed that he would not have to wait too long for this opportunity.

After a while, the two captains Niu and Ma appeared.

As usual, after a brief roll call and assignment of work, everyone was allowed to leave.

Shang Lu was also assigned a job, and was asked to patrol several streets and alleys in the south of the city with his Bai Yi men.

After explaining the assignment, Captain Ma took Sun Ying and hurried out of the yamen.

Although they didn't say where they were going, Shang Lu guessed that they were most likely going to the farm outside the city to find Zhao Hai and call him to account.

But as for this crime, they can't be asked about it, and it will be a big surprise for them.

Shang Lu also took Du Feng out of the government office, and instructed as he walked:

"Du Feng, today's patrol mission is entirely up to you. You are the only one I can use for the time being."

"no problem."

Du Feng didn't realize the seriousness of the problem, and nodded in agreement with a smile. Unexpectedly, Shang Lu's next sentence was: "Okay, I'll go first, you should be more careful when patrolling."

Du Feng was stunned: "Oh, no, Lu Tou, aren't you leading the team?"

"You go on patrol first, I'll go back to Shuanggui Village."

Shang Lu said, "Last night, I was called away from my home in Shuanggui Village in the middle of the night. My parents were very worried, so I had to go back and tell them that I was safe."

"But the county magistrate told us last night not to leave the county in the next few days..."

"Captain Ma has already taken Sun Ying out of the city. I am just following his example. Don't worry, the witch officer won't be back so soon."

Shang Lu patted Du Feng on the shoulder and said, "Patrol well. I'm counting on you."

Du Feng wanted to curse, but he didn't dare, so he could only go on patrol alone.

Shang Lu was not in a hurry to leave the city and went to the grocery store first.

He wants to buy a rope.

Yunhua Mountain is shrouded in thick fog. If you want to hunt the strange snake, you have to go into the fog.

But that strange fog will make people who enter it lose their sense of direction.

Before this, Shanglu killed the strange snake and let the fog dissipate, and only then did he get rid of the "ghost wall".

But this time, no one knows how many strange snakes are hidden in the strange fog of Yunhua Mountain, nor does anyone know whether there are other strange evil spirits.

In order to prevent himself from getting lost and being trapped to death in the strange fog, Shang Lu thought of getting a long rope, tying one end around his waist and the other end to a big tree or rock outside the strange fog.

In this way, when you want to get out of the strange fog, you just need to pull the rope to walk out without worrying about being trapped.

Although Sanniang was able to escape from the strange fog, it does not mean that Shanglu can also use her method. It is best to be prepared with both hands.

Shanglu had a good idea, but when he got to the grocery store, he saw that all they sold were straw ropes that were as thick as a finger. If he wanted to get a sufficient length, he would have to buy a very large bundle.

With Shang Lu's current level of cultivation, it wouldn't be difficult for him to carry a large bundle of straw ropes, but that would attract too much attention.

Fortunately, Shang Lu quickly thought of an alternative solution.

He went to the pharmacy and bought a lot of realgar powder, intending to sprinkle it along the way after entering the strange fog.

Realgar powder is bright in color and has a strong smell. With Shang Lu's current eyesight and sense of smell, he can easily follow the realgar powder scattered on the road, find the right road, and escape from the strange fog.

After leaving the drugstore, Shang Lu went to the jewelry store and bought a silver hairpin for Sanniang, which he gently inserted into the handle of the oil-paper umbrella.

As a result, as soon as she walked out of the jewelry store, the silver hairpin disappeared with a flash.

Shang Lu knew that it was taken away by Sanniang.

It seems that Sanniang likes it very much.

After leaving the city, Shang Lu used the bird-walking technique to speed up his journey and practice martial arts at the same time, running all the way at an extremely fast speed.

He first went back to Shuanggui Village to wish his parents well, and left some money for them to hold a banquet in the village to entertain the neighbors.

This is what he promised yesterday, and he must do it.

After finishing, Shang Lu said that he had official business, bid farewell to his parents, and went straight to Yunhua Mountain.

On the way, he passed a bamboo forest and went in to cut a long bamboo.

"You want to compare heights, eh? I'll put this bamboo on my head and see which of you snakes can be taller than me!"

When it comes to cheating and taking advantage of loopholes, Shang Lu wouldn't say he is very experienced, but he is quite professional.
