Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 121 The Free Feng Shui Master
Shang Lu didn't know the family of Zhang Peng, the village militiaman. He just saw the Feng Shui master and had some guesses. Just as he was about to go up and ask, a neighbor of Zhang Peng's family called out:
"Aunt Zhang, you're back just in time. These officials are looking for you."

Zhang Peng's mother was nearly sixty years old, with gray hair and not in good spirits. After hearing what her neighbor said and seeing the official horse that was as majestic and scary as a wild beast, she seemed a little suspicious because she didn't know the purpose of Shang Lu and the other two's visit.

Aunt Zhang was accompanied by her two children, who were also anxious when they saw the police, but they still supported their old mother as soon as possible.

Shang Lu noticed the family's nervousness, so he dismounted, walked quickly up to Aunt Zhang, and performed the salute as a junior.

"Don't be afraid, Auntie. We are Zhang Peng's colleagues. We are here today to give you Zhang Peng's pension."

Du Feng and Liu Zhi also got off their horses and followed Shang Lu.

The three war horses were very well-behaved. They just ate the grass where they were. They neither followed over to join in the fun nor ran away elsewhere.

Liu Zhi held a bag of copper coins in his hand and introduced Shang Lu to Aunt Zhang and her two children: "This is our county lieutenant!"

Aunt Zhang didn't know what a county lieutenant was. When she heard Liu Zhi calling him "Sir", she thought Shang Lu must be an official, and she was so nervous that she wanted to kneel down to salute.

"Greetings, sir. How could our Zhang family deserve such honor that you personally come to deliver the pension money?"

Her two children did not support her at this moment, but instead knelt down with her.

Shang Lu quickly stopped Aunt Zhang and stopped her from kneeling.

Seeing this, Liu Zhi and Du Feng hurriedly helped Zhang Peng's two siblings up.

Listening to Aunt Zhang's constant thanks, Shang Lu felt very uncomfortable. He wanted to say something comforting, but he didn't know how to start.

The Feng Shui master, however, bowed to Shang Lu and the other two, and then said to Aunt Zhang:
"Since the boss has such a distinguished guest, I will take my leave first. I will come back to help after Zhang Peng is buried."

Aunt Zhang quickly agreed and kept thanking him.

Mr. Feng Shui waved his hand and said you're welcome, then said goodbye to Shang Lu and the other two.

Shang Lu narrowed his eyes and looked at the Feng Shui master carefully. He did not find anything unusual in him, so he did not stop him from leaving.

After the Feng Shui master left, Shang Lu helped move the pension money to Zhang Peng's home.

Zhang Peng's body was placed in the main room, and the three of them went to burn a stick of incense each.

After asking about the family situation, Shang Lu said, "Auntie, if you have any difficulties in the future, you can come to the county government to find me."

When Aunt Zhang heard this, she was so excited that she wanted to kneel down to Shang Lu again.

However, Shang Lu had anticipated this and stopped her in advance, asking, "Auntie, how much did you pay for the Feng Shui master to look at the cemetery?"

He planned to help Zhang Peng's family and give the money out.

Unexpectedly, Aunt Zhang said, "No money spent?"

"No money spent?" Shang Lu was a little surprised. That Feng Shui master helped people choose graves for free?

It's true when I asked.

"Mr. Miao is a good man. He has been helping several families in the surrounding area to look after their graves for free. He said it was a good deed. We heard about this and asked him to choose a grave for Peng'er. Otherwise, we wouldn't even have the money to buy a coffin for Peng'er, so how could we afford to hire a Feng Shui master?"

When Shang Lu heard this, he suddenly became suspicious.

Past experience has taught him that there is something fishy about anything free.

There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

This Feng Shui master named Miao must have other intentions!
Shang Lu did not express his doubts, but just looked up at Liu Zhi and Du Feng.

Du Feng was a straightforward person and did not react.

Liu Zhize was much smarter and understood Shang Lu's meaning in an instant. He stood up and walked out of the house, and even made an excuse: "I'm going to check on the horses, don't let them run away."

After Liu Zhi left, Shang Lu retracted his gaze, thought for a moment and said, "Auntie, can you take us to see the tomb site that Mr. Miao chose for Zhang Peng? When we pass by here in the future, we can burn incense for him and say hello."

Aunt Zhang and her family found it difficult to refuse this request.

What's more, the identity of Shanglu County Lieutenant made them dare not refuse.

Aunt Zhang originally wanted to take Shang Lu up the mountain herself, but seeing that Shang Lu was too old and afraid that she would be tired, Shang Lu asked her to rest at home and only let her youngest son take herself and Du Feng up the mountain.

When leaving the village, Shang Lu looked around deliberately, but he did not see either the Feng Shui master or Liu Zhi.

However, there were no signs of fighting nearby, and he did not hear any unusual sounds, so he speculated that Liu Zhi should have chased out of the village and had not yet had a conflict with the Feng Shui master.

The mountain is behind the village and is not too high.

After a while, Zhang Peng's younger brother Zhang Cheng brought Shang Lu and Du Feng to the burial site selected by Mr. Miao for Zhang Peng.

The tomb is located halfway up the mountain, with the mountain behind it and a flat plain in front of it.

Even though Shang Lu didn't understand Feng Shui, he thought this location was very good.

But he soon made a discovery: "Why has the soil here been moved?"

"Mr. Miao took soil here to check." Zhang Cheng replied: "He explained it, but I didn't quite understand it. It seemed that he was checking whether the soil here was suitable for burying people."

"Is this place suitable?" Du Feng asked. Zhang Cheng looked at him without saying anything.

"Nonsense, we have already chosen this place as the burial site. Do you think it is suitable?"

Shang Lu cursed angrily, walked to the disturbed soil and squatted down, blocking Zhang Cheng's sight with his body, and took out a deerskin glove he had received from the armory from his arms.

Du Feng noticed this scene. Although he didn't understand what Shang Lu was going to do, he immediately moved between Shang Lu and Zhang Cheng, and used topics to divert Zhang Cheng's attention.

Shang Lu narrowed his eyes and stared at the moved soil.

With the blessing of the Liver God, he saw a wisp of black and red aura in the soil.

There is indeed something weird about this place!
He put on deerskin gloves, took out a dagger, and used it to pry the soil.

The strange black and red energy hidden under the soil noticed this situation and immediately tried to escape.

But Shang Lu was faster. His blood and energy poured into the dagger, which penetrated deep into the soil and pinned down the strange black and red energy.

Then he mobilized his blood and energy, and used the method of telekinesis to retrieve the dagger that had drilled deep into the soil.

After his mind is activated and his blood and energy are abundant, Shanglu can not only attach his blood and energy to weapons, but also release his blood and energy to control objects.

However, the distance and weight of the control are limited and need to be enhanced.

As the dagger returned to Shang Lu's hand, he also saw the source of the black and red strange energy - a red-headed centipede.

This centipede must have been secretly hidden by the Feng Shui master when he was surveying the tomb.

He doesn't charge money, but he will collect the bodies.

Once a corpse is buried here, the red-headed centipede will drill into the corpse and either eat the flesh or cause strange changes to the corpse.

It is even possible that Mr. Feng Shui is planning to take more than just the corpse...

The centipede had its shell pierced by the dagger and was struggling desperately. When it noticed that Shang Lu was holding the dagger, it immediately twisted its body and tried to bite him.

Shang Lu stretched out his left hand first, and a short knife came out from his sleeve. He held it in his hand and quickly cut off the centipede's head.

"what happened?"

Zhang Cheng heard the noise and asked curiously.

"Nothing, I just caught a centipede." Shang Lu replied.

It was normal to have bugs on the mountain, so Zhang Cheng didn't find it strange. Du Feng interrupted him and he didn't come over to check.

After the centipede stopped moving, Shanglu picked up its severed head and put it together with the body into a sheepskin bag he was carrying.

When they came down the mountain and returned to the village, Liu Zhi was already waiting at Zhang Peng's home.

But I didn’t see the Feng Shui master.

Shang Lu did not ask in a hurry until he said goodbye to Aunt Zhang and her family and rode out of the village, then he asked, "Where are the people?"

Liu Zhi whispered, "I chased him all the way. At first I could still see his figure, but then he suddenly disappeared!"

Du Feng was confused: "Who are you chasing? Who disappeared?"

Shang Lu raised his eyebrows and ordered, "Liu Zhi, go back to the county and ask Captain Niu to immediately send someone to investigate this matter and see where this Feng Shui master has appeared and which cemeteries he has chosen. If anyone encounters him, capture him immediately!"

"Is there something wrong with that Feng Shui master?" Du Feng asked in surprise.

Shang Lu and Liu Zhi still ignored him.

Liu Zhi frowned and asked, "Sir, do you suspect that the Feng Shui master is planning to take the corpse and make it into a zombie?"

Shang Lu said: "This is only one aspect. I also suspect that he is planning to take over Yunhua Mountain."

Du Feng was surprised and said, "He's planning to attack Yunhua Mountain? Not really, is he? Is he planning to dig a hole from under the tomb? This place is far from Yunhua Mountain, it will take a long time to dig. Besides, if he really wants to do this, can't he just find a place to dig secretly? Why does he have to pretend to be a Feng Shui master and help people with Feng Shui? Isn't he afraid of being too high-profile and exposing himself?"

This time, Shang Lu finally responded to him.

"Make bold assumptions and verify them carefully. The methods of these alchemists cannot be guessed by common sense. Perhaps they want to use the corpses and corpse qi to do something to the secret realm."

Liu Zhi nodded, agreeing with Shang Lu's words.

Recently, almost all the demons, ghosts and alchemists that appeared in Luoshui County were heading for the secret realm.

When you discover something strange, you must first consider whether it is related to the secret realm.

"I will go back to the county town to deliver the order now. When I'm done, where will we meet up?"

"Just wait for me in the county town. After I report this to the Wind Wizard, I will go and take my parents to the county town."

Shang Lu pulled the reins, asked the official horse to turn around and rush back to Yunhua Mountain.

Liu Zhi replied "yes", rode his horse onto another road and rushed back to the county town.
