big dream master

At this moment, the sound of footsteps came from a distance, and soon they reached the outside of the house, and the knock on the door sounded immediately.

"The door is not closed, please come in." Shen Luo wrinkled her nose and said.

The door was pushed open with a squeak, and a figure walked in, holding a large wooden plate in his hand, with a meal on one side, and a brush, talisman paper, cinnabar and other items on the other.

The person who came was not the third son, but the shopkeeper surnamed Hou.

Chapter 0068 Boss Hou's Request

"Hehe, the third son is busy in the lobby, I will bring these over for him." The shopkeeper surnamed Hou said with a smile on his face.

"Oh, that's the trouble for the shopkeeper Hou." Shen Luo was not surprised by the appearance of the shopkeeper surnamed Hou. Just as he was about to raise his hand to take the wooden plate, he was stopped by the shopkeeper surnamed Hou.

"Young Master Shen is an honored guest, how can I let you do it yourself." The shopkeeper surnamed Hou said, and placed the food on the table in person, then stood aside and waited to collect the bowl.

Shen Luo was already hungry, and he was not polite. He quickly swept away the food, wiped his face, took the talisman paper, cinnabar, dog blood, etc. on the wooden plate. He glanced at it and saw a lot. Something that was not seen before.

The crimson cinnabar contains a trace of heaven and earth aura with a fiery aura, the black dog's blood has a yang qi similar to the yang qi, and although there is no similar vitality in the talisman paper, it gives people a kind of ordinary paper. There is no richness.

It's just that the spiritual energy contained in the cinnabar in front of me is really weak, the yang energy of the black dog's blood is also very thin, the quality of the talisman paper is not high, and there are many breakpoints on it. If you want to make a more advanced talisman, I'm afraid it will be a bit reluctant.

"These things are used by Taoist priests to draw talismans. Is your son proficient in this way?" The shopkeeper surnamed Hou put away the bowls and chopsticks, and asked tentatively without leaving.

"I don't dare to be proficient, I only know a thing or two." Shen Luo put down the box of cinnabar in his hand and replied casually.

"Young master can draw talismans? There is a talisman here, I wonder if you can help to draw it? I wish to thank you with a lot of money." The shopkeeper surnamed Hou had a happy expression on his face and immediately pleaded.

"The shopkeeper Hou is just for this, so he came to my room not long ago?" Shen Luo looked at the shopkeeper surnamed Hou and asked with a half smile.

"You... how are you..." The shopkeeper surnamed Hou turned red and stammered.

Stealing into the guest's room without the permission of the guest, the behavior is close to theft. If this matter spreads, the reputation of his inn will be completely ruined.

Thinking of this, the face of the shopkeeper surnamed Hou turned pale again.

"The shopkeeper doesn't need to be nervous. I won't spread the matter, it's just a question just now. Please answer truthfully." Shen Luo chuckled when he saw the embarrassment of the shopkeeper surnamed Hou.

"Thank you for your generosity, Young Master Shen, what you did before going down was really presumptuous, but I didn't have any other intentions in coming to Young Master's room, just because the third son said that Young Master did not show up all day, I was a little worried, so I came in without authorization and asked Young Master I'm sorry." The shopkeeper surnamed Hou breathed a sigh of relief, bowed and saluted, and hurriedly explained.

Seeing that the other party's speech did not seem to be fake, Shen Luo nodded:

"The shopkeeper has the grace of saving me. If you can, you should do your best. But before that, Shen has only a rough understanding of the way of talisman. If it's too difficult, I'm afraid he can't do anything."

When the shopkeeper surnamed Hou heard the words, he hurriedly took out a palm-sized brocade package from his arms. When he opened it, it was a yellowish sheet of paper that was folded in all directions.

"Master, please take a look." The shopkeeper surnamed Hou unfolded the paper and placed it in front of Shen Lu.

Shen Luo looked up and saw that one side of the paper was uneven, as if it was torn from a book, with a talisman drawn on it. Judging from the rune on it, the difficulty seemed to be higher than that of the small thunder talisman.

This made his heart move, but when he saw the line of small characters "Fortune and Treasure Talisman" below the talisman, he smiled bitterly.

The reason why he agreed to draw a talisman for the other party was not only to repay the other party's kindness for saving him, but also to see what the other party wanted to draw.

"Mr. Shen, is there something wrong with this talisman?" The shopkeeper surnamed Hou asked carefully when he saw the change in Shen Luo's expression.

"No problem." Shen Luo waved his hand, his expression returning to normal.

The shopkeeper surnamed Hou is just an ordinary person. What he wants and thinks in his heart is naturally peace, housekeeping, and making money. Naturally, it is very different from what he thinks, which is understandable.

Shen Luo continued to look carefully at the talisman drawn on the paper, and a hint of surprise quickly flashed in his eyes.

Ruyi Talismans, Household Talismans, Lucky Talismans, etc. are the most common Talismans. In order to find clues to the immortal way, he had read countless miscellaneous and unofficial histories, and many of them contained the shadow of some Talismans. As for the fortune talisman, he had seen at least ten different versions, and it was hard to tell whether it was true or false, but those lucky talismans were far less complicated than the one in front of him.

Moreover, although the rune in front of this lucky charm is numerous and complicated, it alludes to some kind of magic, and it doesn't look like a random talisman.

The old man surnamed Hou saw Shen Luo staring at Fu Lu for a long time without saying a word, but he didn't dare to say anything to disturb him, so he could only wait quietly.

"I've seen a lot of lucky charms, but the treasured charm of your treasure talisman, Mr. Hou, is ten times more complicated than ordinary lucky charms. I'm not sure, so I can only try my best." said.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Young master, try it anyway. If there are not enough cinnabar talismans, I'll go get them again." The shopkeeper surnamed Hou said quickly.

Shen Luo snorted and started to prepare, quickly prepared the talisman ink, then took out a piece of talisman paper and spread it on the table, holding a pen and dipping in the ink.

He didn't start drawing the talisman immediately. He closed his eyes and carefully recalled the drawing method of the lucky charm twice. After confirming that it was correct, he put the pen on the green talisman paper and began to draw the talisman.

The lines spread out quickly on the talisman paper, making a rustling sound like the silk of a spring silkworm.

Today, his understanding of spiritual qi has deepened a lot, and he is not as ignorant as before when drawing talismans. Between the strokes of the talisman, the vitality in the talisman and ink is driven by his spiritual qi, and the following The characters are integrated into one.

He faintly felt that the vitality contained in the runes and ink combined with these mysterious runes seemed to summon some kind of power.

There must be many laws involved, as well as some secrets of this world...

The shopkeeper surnamed Hou stood aside, watching the bright red runes spread on the rune paper, and a complicated and mysterious rune pattern was gradually perfected. He couldn't help rubbing his hands, his face full of anticipation.

What he didn't know was that the complexity of this treasure talisman was far beyond Shen's imagination, and only nearly [-]% of it has been drawn so far.

Shen Luo's face gradually showed a tired look, and his breathing became a little short.

Drawing a talisman consumes a certain amount of spiritual energy. The small thunder talisman and ghost-repelling talisman that he drew before are far less complicated than the treasure talisman. In the past, it may not be able to hold on.

After about half a stick of incense, Shen Luo hooked his wrist, and the talisman pen drew a round semi-arc on the paper, and then turned his finger, and the pen tip made a final stroke.

Then he picked up the pen and let out a long breath.

The shopkeeper surnamed Hou had a happy face on his face, and was about to speak, but saw Shen Luo closed his eyes, sat cross-legged on the spot, and hurriedly swallowed the words back.

Chapter 0069

Shen Lu's state at the moment is really not very good, and the body feels drained, especially when the inside of the head is empty, and the mental power is almost emptied, and it is unspeakable uncomfortable.

After he broke through to the Qi refining stage, his body was full of vitality, and it could be said that he had gotten rid of the previous troubles of life essence, but his spiritual power did not increase much.

Shen Luo silently runs Xiao Hua Yang Gong, which speeds up the recovery of spiritual power by catalyzing Yang Gang Qi.

In a short while, a red light appeared on his face, and his whole body exuded bursts of heat like a stove.

Shopkeeper Hou next to him felt a surge of heat, his whole body was as warm as the sun was shining, the fatigue in his body seemed to be fading quickly, and his face suddenly showed a look of awe:

"Xianshu, Young Master Shen is indeed a person who cultivates immortals!"

A few nights ago, when he woke up at night, he accidentally found Shen Lu in the backyard alley after urging the talisman. What he saw and heard made him more and more convinced of his conjecture, and he felt a little excited in his heart.

Shopkeeper Hou glanced at the talisman on the table and wanted to pick it up and look at it immediately, but he didn't get Shen Shen's permission, so he dared to touch the table, so he had to stand quietly and didn't even dare to breathe.

After a full quarter of an hour, the red light on Shen Lu's face rippled and disappeared into his body.

He slowly opened his eyes, and although his face was still a little pale, it was much better than before.

He got up and picked up the talisman on the table, looked at it carefully for a moment, and nodded slightly.

Regardless of whether this so-called lucky charm is really effective, it is the first amulet he has drawn since he stepped into the Qi refining period, and it is also the most perfect amulet he has drawn so far.

"Shen has done his best, but this treasure talisman is a talisman, and the talisman is dark, so I can't judge whether it has been painted." Shen Luo said, and handed the talisman in his hand to the shopkeeper surnamed Hou.

"There is nothing wrong with the talisman drawn by the young master. I would like to thank you here!" Shopkeeper Hou was quite confident in Shen Luo. He took the talisman and looked at it carefully.

He took out a rather delicate red sandalwood box from his arms, and put away the treasures and treasures of the lucky charm.

Immediately afterwards, he took out another wooden box, opened it and placed it on the table. Inside were neatly placed two large ingots of silver ingots, shining brightly, at least a hundred taels.

"The business of the small shop is not good these days, and I really can't offer more. 100 taels of silver is not a respect, and I hope Mr. Shen will accept it." The shopkeeper surnamed Hou said, cupping his hands.

"The yellow and white things are not what I want. Shopkeeper Hou doesn't have to spend money. I have already stated before that this talisman should be a repayment of gratitude." Shen Luo said with a wave of his hand.

"How can that be done? The son is a guest of the shop, and it is his job to call a doctor. Now he is expending a lot of energy to draw a talisman for a certain person. How can he get nothing in return." The shopkeeper surnamed Hou said hurriedly.

"Well, when you really make a fortune in the future, I'll ask for some remuneration." Shen Luo smiled and said so.

The shopkeeper surnamed Hou saw Shen Shen's resolute attitude, so he had to withdraw the money.

He knew that Shen Luo still had things to do, so he didn't dare to stay here any longer, and he thanked him a lot before leaving.

Shen sat at the table for a while, took a piece of talisman paper, and started to draw a talisman, this time it was a small thunder talisman.

He is already familiar with this talisman, but the success rate is still not high. Even after the advanced Qi refining period, only one of the five or six cards will be successful.

After a while, Shen Luo picked up a successfully drawn small thunder talisman and looked at it for a moment, held it in his hand, silently activated the mana in his body, guided a strand of mana into his palm, and then poured it into the talisman.

The surface of the rune of the little thunder talisman immediately burst into a misty white light.

Shen Luo was overjoyed, and hurriedly cut off the supply of mana, lest this talisman really be stimulated, and the room in this inn could not withstand the power of a thunderbolt.

The light of the rune on the small thunder talisman gradually dimmed, and soon returned to its original state.

"After cultivating mana, you don't need to use primeval stones to activate the talisman!"

Shen Luo had asked the third son to send talisman paper, cinnabar and other things to confirm this, and the result was as he expected.

He folded this little thunderbolt and put it away, took the pen and paper next to it, and began to write a letter to his family, telling his father that he had no worries about short life, so that he could rest assured.

Naturally, the letter did not mention that he had become a qi-refining cultivator, but only said that he had achieved success in cultivating Xiaohuayang in the Spring and Autumn Temple, and that he had to be given good medicine by the master to solve the problem of Shouyuan.

He didn't even mention the nameless scripture, so as not to reveal it.

Shen Luo put away the family books, and packed up the luggage and stone box, then got up and left the room, and came to the lobby of the inn.

At this time, after noon and lunch, there were no more guests in the lobby. Several of the clerks were standing or sitting bored, and the little three fell asleep on a table.

"Young Master Shen, are you leaving?" The shopkeeper surnamed Hou was holding an abacus behind the counter to settle accounts. Seeing Shen Luo coming with a burden, he hurriedly greeted him.

"Thank you for taking care of the shopkeeper these days." Shen Luo took out the rent and put it on the counter table.

"Young master has helped me a lot. If I charge you the rent again, how can I behave like Hou Liang?" The shopkeeper surnamed Hou turned red, picked up the rent and stuffed it back to Shen Lu.

Shen Lu saw that his attitude was firm, so he did not insist.

Shopkeeper Hou personally took Shenluo's dark horse and sent it out, and repeatedly told Shenluo to come back to the town to be a guest when he had a chance, and then let him go.

Shen Luo first went to a post in the city to find a letter from the letter to send home letters, and then rode out of the city.

The terrain near the county seat of Songfan is flat, and the fields near the official road are lush with green grass.

Looking at the scenery in front of him, Shen Luo lifted his spirits and urged his horse to gallop towards Chunqiu Temple.

This trip can be regarded as complacent. Not only did he unload a big stone in his heart, but he also entered the period of qi refining and found a new direction. Naturally, his mood at the moment was indescribably smooth. The wind, the scenery on both sides quickly receded.

The so-called spring breeze is proud of horseshoe disease, which is probably the case.

Two hours later.

On a field road in Songfan County, he was riding a horse, neither fast nor slow, looking around from time to time, as if observing the road conditions.

He was unfamiliar with the roads in Songfan County, and on a whim, he drove his horse to run wild, and he accidentally lost his way.

I don't know where this place is, it's very desolate. He has driven his horse along the road for half an hour, but he didn't come across a single person, so he couldn't even ask someone for directions.

At this moment, the sky is already dark, there is a vast wilderness in front and back, there is no light at all, only the whining wind blows, like a ghost crying, it sounds quite scary, if a timid person is here, I am afraid that I would have been scared half to death. .

But Shen Luo has achieved little in practice now, and the art masters are bold, so they won't care.

After walking another seven or eight miles, the sound of rushing water came from the front.

Shen Luo urged the horse to follow the sound, and a moment later, a wide river appeared in front, as wide as three Luanshui Rivers.

"Hey, what kind of river is this? Could it be that I went in the wrong direction?" Shen Luo frowned.

He recalled the map of Songfan County he had seen before, but he couldn't remember the name of the river in front of him for a while, and he felt a little embarrassed.

If he is alone at the moment, with the Water Treading Technique, he can try to cross even the widest river, but there are still horses.

If he abandons his horse to cross the river, he will not know where he will lead. If he goes astray, he cannot walk on foot in the wilderness, right?

Chapter 0070 The Legend of the Demon

"Let's see if there is a bridge nearby, or another way out."

Shen Luo muttered to himself, turned over and got off the black horse, tied it to a tree by the river, and then walked along the river on foot, looking to both sides at the same time.

At this moment, the bright moon is in the sky, shedding bursts of silver light, and the surrounding light is not bad. In addition, his eyesight has greatly improved now, and he can see almost no difference from the daytime.

It's just that the river twists and turns, and the trees on both sides are lush, blocking the line of sight, and you can't see too far.

Shen Luo pondered for a while, and then planned to go to the central area of ​​the river with a wide field of vision, so he silently used the Water Treading Art, his feet glowed a layer of blue light, and stepped on the river.

Two water vortices emerged under his feet, supporting his body.

The last time he used the Water Treading Art was in a calm stream. This time, he came to a big river with rapid currents, and there was a surging undercurrent nearby. , the figure suddenly swayed with the waves of the river, swaying left and right, and it seemed that it might fall into the river at any time.

He hurriedly and secretly pumped mana into his feet to maintain the water-treading technique. At the same time, he spread his hands flat and adjusted his body posture to balance the impact of the river water. After gradually getting used to the flow of the river water, his body gradually became stable.

"It seems that this water treadmill must be practiced continuously in various rivers and rivers, especially to learn to adapt to maintain balance in various complex water conditions, and then it will come in handy when needed."
