Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 57: Acupuncture in Public (Please collect and read!)
In the early morning, it was just dawn.

As usual, the members of the police squad lined up in the third shift yard, waiting to be called.

What was different from the past was that, except for the deceased Captain Ma and Sun Ying, more than half of the constables did not show up for today's roll call.

However, there was no trace of surprise on the faces of Shang Lu and Captain Niu.

Because those who did not come were sent to the towns and villages below to search for the whereabouts of Yuan Guilong and others, they have not returned yet.

After the roll call, Captain Niu glanced at everyone and gave them a lecture with a stern face:
"Today's mission is to search for Yuan Guilong and his men. Everyone, please cheer up and find clues as soon as possible. This way, you can finish the task earlier and avoid being scolded."

The detectives responded sparsely.

Captain Niu didn't say anything like "Speak louder, I can't hear you." He just raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his forehead and cursed: "This damn weather is getting hotter and hotter. I'm afraid it's going to rain heavily."

The weather has been really weird lately, and it's far more than just hot and humid.

Ever since Shang Lu activated the Liver God Statue, he would occasionally see new black and red strange energy being resolved and expelled by the Liver God Statue.

At first he thought that the strange black and red air came from violent blood.

But after two days of observation, Shang Lu unexpectedly discovered that the strange black and red air was most likely related to the sultry weather.

This strange weather is quietly affecting people's emotions, making them become irritable and angry without realizing it.

Shang Lu also didn't understand why there was a strange black and red air hidden in the sultry weather.

Is it because of the secret realm of Yunhua Mountain?

Perhaps the witch officer's investigation in Yunhua Mountain can bring an answer to this matter.

But I don’t know how the witch official investigated. Two or three days have passed, and there has been no news yet.

Are you lost in the strange fog and haven’t come out yet?
Or has he made a discovery and rushed back to the county witch academy to ask for help?

Shang Lu had no control over the affairs of the witch officer, but he had to seize the opportunity to be promoted to the head of the police force.

So after the roll call was over, Shang Lu found Captain Niu who was about to go home to fish, and said with a bow, "Captain Niu, I have something I would like to ask for your help."

Captain Niu acted in a friendly manner, smiled and shook his head: "Captain, humble, there is no need for us to be so distant. I am a few years older than you, so I am arrogant enough to call you brother, you can just call me brother."

Unlike Captain Ma, he was not worried that Shang Lu would deprive him of his position as captain. He also had no interest in Shang Lu's opportunities, let alone wanting to be admitted to the Witch Academy.

Captain Niu understood very clearly that the key to opportunity lies in the word "fate".

If there is no fate, you can't use it even if you get it, and it may even bring you fatal disaster.

As for the Witch Academy, the people inside are either disciples from aristocratic families or people with natural talent.

For an ordinary person like him with mediocre family background and qualifications, even if he was lucky enough to get in, he would be like a beast of burden. It would be better for him to stay in Luoshui County and be a constable, living an easy and happy life.

With this mentality, Captain Niu naturally had no hostility towards Shang Lu, and even wanted to make friends with him.

After all, Shang Lu is young and has potential. Even if he fails to get into the Witch Academy, his future achievements will definitely be higher than his own.

If he ever remembers me after he becomes successful and takes care of me, it would be of great benefit to me.

"Brother Niu."

Shang Lu changed his words as he was told.

"Eh."

Captain Niu nodded in satisfaction and asked with a smile: "Brother, what can I do for you? Just ask. As long as it is something I can do, I will never refuse."

"I have been practicing for the past few days and found that the blood and energy in my body are becoming more and more abundant. I feel like I am about to break through the dike and dig a dam..." Niu Butou slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "Oh, congratulations, brother, this is about to break through the acupoints and open the meridians!"

Shang Lu lied without blinking and his expression was very sincere.

"I think so too. I was planning to try acupuncture at home, but considering that I have no experience, I wonder if I can do it here. Brother Niu, please help me watch over me. If I do anything wrong, please correct me in time."

"no problem."

Captain Niu agreed readily, completely unaware that he had been chosen by Shang Lu to be a witness to the "breakthrough".

Also serving as witnesses were the officers from the third shift of the court.

The enthusiastic Captain Niu really thought that Shang Lu had no experience in acupuncture and meridian opening, so he told Shang Lu all his experiences.

Shang Lu pretended to listen attentively, and in his mind he verified Niu Butou's experience with the Neijing Lianzang Tu and the insights of the senior in the Qi Refining Realm.

Then I found that Niu Butou's experience was quite useful.

Just avoid these experiences and you can make fewer mistakes.

After Captain Niu finished imparting his experience, Shang Lu started practicing the Five Beasts Health-preserving Exercise in the station room.

In the eyes of everyone, he still has the cultivation level of perfect bone-breaking. If he wants to open the acupoints and meridians, he must first practice the Five Beasts Health-preserving Exercise to stimulate the blood and qi in the body, and then practice the Internal Classics Refining Organs Diagram to open the acupoints and meridians.

When Shang Lu was practicing, he deliberately made some noises, which attracted the attention of many people in the third shift courtyard. They all rushed over and watched curiously outside the office.

At the beginning, Captain Niu was still in a relaxed state, slumped in the chair.

Seeing Shanglu practicing the Five Beasts Health Exercise, I feel like commenting:

"You have both spirit and form, and you are full of vigor. I didn't expect that Brother Shang has mastered the Five Beasts Health-preserving Technique to perfection. You are truly gifted!"

Just after finishing a set of Five Beasts Health Preserving Exercises, Niu Butou heard a crisp "crackling" sound coming from Shang Lu's body.

He sat up a little, with a look of surprise on his face.

"Are you starting to flush the acupuncture points already? Why don't you practice the Five Beasts Health-preserving Exercise a few more times? Hey, young people are really a bit impulsive."

"Captain Niu, isn't it a good idea to flush the acupuncture points now?"

Outside the police station, some officers watching couldn't help but ask.

At this time, everyone realized that Shang Lu was not only practicing, but also opening up the acupoints and meridians!
It is very rare to open the acupuncture points and meridians in public.

As a result, more and more people came to watch the fun, and even some clerks from the sixth room came running over.

As the crowds gathered, Niu Butou also started to show off and shared his own experience:
"Before you start to flush the acupuncture points, you must make adequate preparations. It is best to practice the Qi and Blood nourishing exercises several times to fully stimulate the Qi and Blood in your body. Only then can you flush more acupuncture points in one go."

Another officer asked, "Captain Shang, is the acupuncture point attack going to fail?"

Captain Niu shook his head and said, "It's not a failure. He has already opened one acupoint, but he will definitely be weak in the future. It is unlikely that he can open more acupoints..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard "crackling" sounds from Shang Lu's body, one after another, continuously.

"Um?!"

Niu Butou's eyes widened and his body sat up straight in an instant.

You said you would open only a few acupoints? How come you opened so many at once? You really don't follow the rules!
While being surprised, Niu Butou also discovered something strange:

The "crackling" sound of the Shanglu acupuncture doesn't seem to come from the Ren and Du meridians?
