Big dreamer

It was the Lantern Festival, and the winter cold in Chang'an City had not yet dissipated, but the city was extremely lively.

On a street, the shops on both sides are decorated with lights and colorful decorations. The smell of various foods and spices fills the street. Noisy and rhythmic shouting can be heard endlessly, full of human fireworks.

A man in a green shirt swayed his shoulders and walked slowly among the crowd. His steps were a little weak, and he looked out of place in contrast to the hurried and cheerful pedestrians around him.

He lowered his head, his brows knitted into knots, and all kinds of emotions were in confusion.

"A hundred years, a hundred years have actually passed..." The man in green shirt murmured in a low voice and slowly raised his head.

The man in green shirt has a handsome face, quite young, and his face is a little pale.

It was none other than Shen Luo. .

But at this moment, his eye sockets were slightly sunken, and his pupils were dark and deep, giving him a sense of vicissitudes of life.

Just now, Shen Luo learned something from the owner of the Chang'an bookstore that was difficult for him to accept. Now, nearly a hundred years have passed before he fell into his dream.

"Oops, it's been a hundred years, and Chi You's seal may have been loosened." Shen Luo suddenly became anxious.

In the dream, they went through many difficulties and dangers, and even risked almost everyone's lives before they could seal Chi You again, but what they saved in the end was a dark future.

If possible, he still hopes to prevent that from happening.

But a hundred years have passed in a hurry, and things in the world have changed, and we still don’t know where we have reached now.

Thinking of this, Shen Luo looked at the prosperity of the world in Chang'an City, and suddenly felt a little powerless. These people who were enjoying the Lantern Festival still didn't know what kind of miserable future they would have.

"Go to the government first and ask Duke Cheng and the others about the current situation." After Shen Luo made up his mind, he quickened his pace.

After passing through a square gate, Shen Luo had just arrived at the main road in the city when he heard an urgent shout:

"Get out of the way, get out of here..."

Shen Luo turned around and saw a green bull about ten feet tall, running towards him with all four hooves.

There is a chariot mounted on the back of the green bull, and sitting on it is a fat young man wearing luxurious clothes. He is holding the reins with both hands, trying to make the green bull below him stop.

It's a pity that Qingniu ran too fast and with too much momentum. He couldn't hold back at this moment and bumped into Shen Luo.

Shen Luo frowned slightly and raised a palm to block it in front of him.

"Hey, you're looking for death..." Seeing that he didn't hide away, the fat boy shouted loudly with a look of shock on his face.

Before he finished speaking, Qing Niu's huge head hit Shen Luo's palm hard, but he couldn't help but raise his brows slightly.

"boom"

A muffled sound came, and Qing Niu's head sank first, and then the entire neck was squeezed and shrunk, and was squeezed into the back of the body until the entire body exploded.

The obese young man was thrown out by the huge inertia and hit the white stone road more than ten feet away. There was no magic wave on his body. Just when he was about to splash blood on the spot, he was caught by a blue light and fell down smoothly. .

A monk in black chased from behind and quickly protected the obese young man who had already wet his pants.

"Who are you, dare to ram into my young master's car?" The black-clothed monk raised his head and glared at Shen Luo, saying coldly.

Shen Luo turned a deaf ear to his accusation. Instead, he squatted down with a surprised look on his face and carefully looked at the green cow that was broken into pieces by his impact.

The "green bull" in front of him had no flesh and blood, leaving only various gears and iron armor on the ground.

"Puppet? It doesn't look like it. There is no spiritual power fluctuation on it." Shen Luo frowned and whispered.

The obese young man behind him, who had finally regained his composure, was flushed at the moment. He pointed at Shen Luo's back and shouted: "Hit him, beat him to death, if you dare to smash my beast..."

When the monk in black heard this, his expression changed for a moment, but he did not move.

He is not a child, and he knows very well how powerful the beast is when it sprints at full speed. The man in front of him can easily crush the beast with his bare hands, which is enough to prove that the other person is also a monk, so naturally he cannot act rashly.

"What is this?" Just when he was hesitating, Shen Luo pulled out a round hollow silver ball from the green bull fragments on the ground and asked him.

"That's Yanshu, don't you know?" the black-clothed monk said in surprise.

After saying that, he felt a little relaxed. This guy who even Yan Shu didn't know must be a wild cultivator who ran away from some remote country. As long as he didn't have any background, he wouldn't be afraid of offending him.

"Hey, you guy, you bumped into my young master, why don't you come over and kowtow to admit your mistake?" The monk in black raised his voice a little higher and shouted loudly.

When Shen Luo heard the words, he frowned slightly and performed the Slant Moon Step. His figure instantly disappeared from the place and appeared directly beside the black-clothed monk, putting a hand on the latter's shoulder.

The black-clothed monk was only at the fourth level of Qi Refining. He neither reacted nor had the strength to parry. His knees weakened and he knelt directly on the ground.

With a "bang" sound, the bluestone on the ground shattered, causing a burst of smoke and dust.

The fat boy, who was very arrogant just a moment ago, was stunned on the spot.

As soon as Shen Luo glanced at him, the young man immediately lost all arrogance and knelt down beside the monk consciously. The clothes between his buttocks that were not yet dry became wet again.

"You said this thing is called Yanshu. What is it used for?" Shen Luo asked.

"Senior, you really don't know?" The black-clothed monk knew that he had encountered a difficult situation and no longer dared to be presumptuous, so he asked cautiously.

Shen Luo rolled his eyes at him. Isn't this nonsense?

"The Yanshu is the core of the Yanbeast. It is a furnace used to drive the Yanbeast. If you put flint inside, it will ignite automatically, causing it to drive the Yanbeast." The black-clothed monk hurriedly explained.

"That green bull just now is the beast you mentioned? Was it driven by flint?" Shen Luo frowned.

He had also used fire scale flint to move the fire feather boat, but that thing was a treasure among flints, and ordinary flints did not have such great power.

And the green bull beast we saw just now is as sophisticated as a flying boat. Can ordinary flints really move it? And it doesn't require magic to ignite it. Can it be ignited by this Yanshu on its own?

The more Shen Luo thought about it, the more doubts he had in his mind.

"That's right, that green bull is the beast, a new product from Tianji Pavilion that just arrived last month." The monk in black said immediately.

"What does this Tianji Pavilion... have to do with Tianji City?" Shen Luo pondered.

"Tianji Pavilion was opened in Tianji City. There are more than 130 in the Tang Dynasty." The black-clothed monk looked at Shen Luo with confusion in his eyes, wondering why he didn't know this common sense.

When Shen Luo heard this, he was silent for a while.

He knew that Tianji City was sinking. During the battle at Ji Lei Mountain, it was Yan Ze from Tianji City who came to help and saved him and many people from the Fox Clan.

However, Tianji City no longer participated in the subsequent battle against Chi You in Chang'an City.
