big dream master

At the same time, he was still in the gap between training, trying to practice the oblique moon footwork.

And what surprised him was, whether it was because the perception in the dream was too real, or because he was already very suitable for this set of exercises, he practiced surprisingly smoothly, and the previous situation of sudden sluggish footwork did not reappear. It also made him understand that it was not because of lack of mana, the problem was still in the control of the path of mana running.

As a result, it only took more than ten days to get started, which was several times faster than he originally estimated.

In this way, Shen Luo was able to perform the oblique moon steps initially, but the speed and distance of movement were not small compared to when he had just mastered them in his dream.

But even so, he was quite satisfied.

On this day, after Shen Luo came to the secret room as usual, he sat down cross-legged and did not rush to start practicing. Instead, he groped in his bosom for a while, took out a round jade pendant that didn't look very eye-catching, and held it in the palm of his hand.

This thing is nothing else, it is the most important treasure "Chunyang Treasure Book" entrusted to him by the master uncle of Chunqiu Temple.

He looked at the jade pendant in his hand, recalled all the previous Spring and Autumn Views, and couldn't help but feel a little absent-minded.

I don't know how the situation in Guanzhong is now, whether Luo Shi and the others have escaped the difficulties, anyway, when I was most helpless, it was Chunqiu Guan and Luo Shi who took me in, otherwise I am afraid that it would have been a piece of loess now .

After a long while, Shen Luo collected his mind and stopped thinking about it. With a thought, a blue light lit up in his palm, and he lifted the jade pendant out of thin air and suspended it in front of him.

Immediately afterwards, he was seen pinching the mysterious formula with both hands and hitting the jade pendant continuously.

After a burst of white light flickered on the jade pendant, a light curtain was projected from it, and densely packed words were projected on it, which was clearly the training formula of "Chun Yang Treasure".

"The method of covering pure yang, transforming qi into essence, turning yang into gang, accepting spirits outside, hiding gods inside..." Shen Luo's eyes fell on those small words, and as his eyes moved slowly, he followed silently in his heart road.

After he had read through the nearly ten thousand character exercises, he couldn't help but feel a little dumbfounded.

Back then, Bai Xiaotian had revealed some information about the Chunyang Sword Art to him, saying that the whole exercise has a total of twelve levels, and after completing the tenth level, one can try to break through to the bigu stage.

In addition, Bai Xiaotian also mentioned that if he can practice Chunyang Sword Art to the No.11 level and then try to break through, his mana will be much stronger and purer, and if he can cultivate to the No.12 level and then break through , and the mana can be tripled, which is of great benefit to future practice.

It's just that the difficulty of cultivating the last two levels of exercises is also doubled. According to Bai Xiaotian's knowledge, including Master Luo, Master Fengyang, and the traitor Master Wang, all three of them broke through to Bigu after the tenth level of the Pure Yang Sword Art. period.

As for the master uncle, he broke through after the No. 11 layer of Chunyang Sword Art.

Shen Luo asked at the time if anyone broke through the bigu period after the No. 12th floor, but the answer he got was just a legend. In the history of Chunqiu Temple, only the founder of the mountain had achieved this achievement.

However, the complete Chunyang Sword Art he saw right now was far more than the twelve layers.

Chapter 0211 Accident in the Plumbing Pavilion

"It seems that Master Luo also kept a hand on his personal disciples, and didn't tell Bai Xiaotian that the Chunyang Sword Art was divided into two volumes. So he only knew the existence of the twelve-level exercises in the first volume, but he didn't know There are nine levels of formulas in the back volume." Shen Luo knew it clearly, and murmured.

According to the exercises, after completing the two complete volumes of the exercises, you can practice to the highest stage of enlightenment!

After having the experience of practicing "Unknown Kung Fu" and "Huang Ting Jing" in his dream, Shen Luo's vision has improved a lot.

Regarding the content of the previous volume of exercises, he looked particularly carefully, and found that except for the last two layers of exercise formulas, the previous contents were not too profound, at least much more simple than the contents of the Huang Ting Jing, which can be vaguely felt The exercises contain a kind of awe-inspiring aura of being neutral and peaceful, with the avenue facing the sun.

In contrast, the Nameless Cultivation Technique is like a tortuous river and waterway, while the Chunyang Sword Art is like a straight and spacious Yangguan Avenue.

Shen Luo continued to look up the follow-up text, and found that after the exercises in the second volume, there were still several articles such as "Yang Qi Ban Ghost Art" and "Lighting Fire and Burning Yin Art" attached.

Most of them are based on the pure yang sword art technique, which combines mana and yang qi, and specializes in impeaching ghosts. It has an innate suppressing effect on ghosts and ghosts.

After that, a method of refining the pure yang talisman sword was also recorded in detail in the Chunyang Collection.

According to this method, monks can refine pure Yang talisman swords with different attributes according to different materials.

Once a monk breaks through to the bigu stage, he can refine a commonly used talisman sword through secret methods into a pure Yang sword embryo, carry it close to his body, and slowly cultivate it with his own essence.

At the beginning, the pure Yang sword embryo is relatively fragile, and it is not the same as an ordinary magic weapon, so it cannot be used to meet the enemy. However, once it absorbs the master's essence for a long time, it develops spirituality, and the sword weapon is first formed, and it can immediately go far away. It is better than ordinary instruments of the same level.

Moreover, because of its inherent pure yang energy, it has amazing power against restrained ghosts.

However, these are not the most important points for Shen Luo. What he cares most about is the huge potential of this pure Yang sword embryo, because it is closely related to the master. As long as the master keeps improving his cultivation base and his lifespan is long enough, Theoretically, it can be advanced and become a legendary magic weapon.

And according to his rough understanding, the power of the magic weapon is beyond the imagination of ordinary immortals, and the magic weapon cannot be compared with it at all. It is also a treasure that countless sects of cultivating immortals would like to own in their dreams.

"If you really want to refine the talisman sword, judging from the attributes of the pure yang sword embryo, it is best to use materials with two attributes of wood and gold..." Shen Luo stroked his chin, and began to think about how to refine the talisman sword.

After the refining method of the Pure Yang Talisman Sword, there is the last paragraph, which records a supernatural power called "Da Kai Peeling Technique". Not only is its name strange, but its function is even more bizarre.

According to the technique, once this technique is practiced, the practitioner will have his belly cut open and his body cut open, and his limbs will be amputated to regenerate. back to normal.

"It's so powerful, I don't know if it's true or not?" Shen Luo also felt that this technique was too inconceivable, and he was somewhat skeptical.

But right now, he has no chance to verify it, because this supernatural power is not something he can cultivate in his current state. The formula of the exercise clearly states that a monk who is not in the out-of-body period must not try it lightly.

There are too many contents recorded in the Chunyang Collection, and they are quite mixed. After reading it, it took Shen Luo a long time to write down all of them.

Afterwards, it took a while to suppress other thoughts, carefully recalled all the formulas in the previous volume of Chunyang Sword Art, folded his hands in front of his body, and calmly adjusted his breath.

A moment later, he changed the technique of both hands, and silently recited the first level of the Chunyang Sword Jue.

Immediately afterwards, the mana in his dantian was agitated, and a rather hot breath rose from it, followed the Ren meridian in front of his body all the way to Tanzhong acupoint, and spread towards the chest.

As soon as the heat spread, Shen Luo felt a tightness in his chest, and his whole body began to feel unbearably hot, so he had to stop immediately and start using the nameless exercises.

With the nameless exercises mobilizing a cool air, after slowly traveling through the whole body, the hot feeling gradually subsided.

"It seems that I was too arrogant before. Although the pure Yang sword formula is easy to understand, the operation of the exercise is not simple. It is really not so easy to control the mana and supplement it with the energy of the sun. "Shen Luo thought secretly in his heart.

Judging from the unfavorable situation at the moment, he is probably not much faster than the Huang Ting Jing in terms of the cultivation of the Pure Yang Sword Art. Fortunately, it is not necessary to cultivate the Pure Yang Sword Embryo. As long as you have Yang Gang Qi and enough realm.

"Improving the state and increasing the lifespan is the main thing right now. Let's concentrate on practicing the nameless exercises first. However, you can try to practice this pure yang talisman sword." Shen Luo pondered.

……

The second day, early in the morning.

After Shen Luo pushed open the door, he came straight to Bai Xiaotian's side, and saw that his door was open, he was already fully dressed, and he looked like he was about to go out soon.

"Are you going out?" Shen Luo raised his eyebrows and asked.

"There is something wrong with the business of Sanfang Management, and my father asked me to take a look." Bai Xiaotian's face was a little gloomy, as if he was preoccupied.

"Aren't you always not interested in this kind of thing? Why did you let me see it?" Shen Luo asked in surprise.

"If it's a business matter, I won't let me take care of it, but there was a murder case over there, and the death was a bit strange." Bai Xiaotian said helplessly.

"Is it the Bayang Tower? What's going on?" Shen Luo asked with a frown.

"It's not Eight Yang Building, it's... Shui Nuan Pavilion." Bai Xiaotian looked a little embarrassed, hesitated a little, and said.

"Shuinuange, isn't that the second largest brothel on the Qinhuai River? Why does your Bai family still have this kind of business?" Shen Luo's mouth twitched slightly, and asked in surprise.

"Ahem, my family's third-bedroom business... covers a wide range of areas." Bai Xiaotian coughed dryly and said.

Seeing this, Shen Luo stopped teasing and continued to ask: "Tell me, what happened."

"The thing is like this..." Bai Xiaotian said eloquently after hearing the words.

It turned out that in just half a month before, the "Shui Nuan Pavilion" run by their family had killed three people successively.

At first it was a servant who did odd jobs, then a Qingguan who was not very outstanding, and then a benefactor who often came to seek pleasure. All three of them fell into the water and died. When they were found, they all faced the water, floating on the water. On the river outside the Plumbing Pavilion.

Although the Qinhuai River is gentle, it generally flows from west to east. If there were floating corpses on the water, they would have been washed away by the river water long ago. But the strange thing is that all three corpses were still on the water surface, and none of them drifted away with the current. , the situation is really weird.

Chapter 0212

"Aren't there any heavy objects dragging the bottom of the water?" Shen Luo asked after pondering for a while.

"There are no heavy objects dragging, no water and plants hanging in the way, nothing. It is also because it is a bit unusual, and the city has not been peaceful recently, so there are all kinds of rumors, and now the plumbing pavilion is fast. It has been treated as a haunted house, and the business has plummeted." Bai Xiaotian shook his head.

From the beginning, the Bai family didn't pay much attention to it. After all, the Qinhuai River is a place of right and wrong. There are 20 people each.

Even if the incident happened in one's own house, one would often spend some money to manage the government, and then send a guest priest to do a religious ceremony. Regardless of whether there is evil or not, as long as you make a show and let the guests and the people see it, this matter is not difficult to suppress down.

But like this time, they drowned one after another like dumplings, and it was really unbearable. Now there are rumors that there are ghosts hiding in the Plumbing Pavilion. The three died unjustly, and their bodies were filled with resentment. If it is solid, it will float and not go away.

"I'm also planning to go out for a while, so let's go and have a look with you." Shen Luo said.

"It's just right." Bai Xiaotian's eyes lighted up slightly, and a smile finally appeared on his face.

As soon as the two of them walked out of the room, they heard a rush of footsteps outside, and then they saw the girl Luxiu rushing in, shouting repeatedly:

"No...it's not good, young master, it's not good..."

When Shen Luo and Bai Xiaotian heard the words, they looked at each other, and a trace of gloom flashed across their faces.

"What's going on, please speak slowly." Bai Xiaotian asked in a deep voice.

"The shopkeeper Gao of Faxiang Silk Shop in the west of the city went to Shuinuan Pavilion last night to find a good girl, Shuiyuan, but in the morning, someone found him floating in the river, which is the same place as the three companies before." Luxiu's face turned slightly Bai, panting.

Bai Xiaotian sighed secretly, walked towards the gate of the front yard without saying a word, Shen Luo touched his nose, and followed.

"Young master, the car is ready, waiting outside the door..." Lu Xiu quickly chased after a few steps, and shouted on tiptoe.

……

The speed of the carriage in the city was limited, and it took less than half an hour to arrive in front of the Shui Nuan Pavilion.

Shen Luo got off the carriage, looked up, and in front of him stood a three or four feet high vermilion gatehouse, with carved beams and painted buildings, depicting rich and noble scenes such as a hundred birds facing the phoenix and a hundred flowers contending for spring.

Entering from the doorway, just a few steps away, there is a magnificent three-storey pavilion. There are glazed tiles on each floor to make ridges and cornices. There are vermilion lanterns hanging below, which are brightly colored.

Inside the attic is a golden hall, with a huge [-]-fold screen in the center and a stage built with a white jade fence. There are wooden ladders on the left and right leading to the second floor.

On weekdays, customers come like a cloud, and the Shuinuang Pavilion is very bustling, but today it is deserted, and there are not many people in sight. Only a middle-aged woman in purple brocade is scolding a few handymen in a low voice, making them feel uncomfortable. Don't talk too much, talk about the Shuinuang Pavilion with outsiders.

Seeing Bai Xiaotian and two people coming in, the woman immediately put away her sad face, came up to meet them, and bowed to them.

Shen Luo looked at her for a while, and saw that she had a good figure and a slender figure, but there were fine lines around her eyes that couldn't be concealed by any powder. Looking at her demeanor, she knew that she should be the old lady here.

"Eldest son, you are here." The middle-aged woman found the backbone, and as she spoke, she took off the handkerchief from her waist and wiped the corners of her eyes.

"Mother Feng, where is the corpse?" Bai Xiaotian asked directly.

"It's on the waterfront in the backyard. It wasn't allowed to be carried into the house. The government officials have already inspected it and left. Right now, Taoist Master Baishui is over there." Mama Feng didn't dare to say more, but said simply.

Bai Xiaotian didn't say a word, and walked behind the screen.

Shen Luo then followed around the screen and walked out through a coupon door behind.

The Shuinuan Pavilion is built along the Qinhuai River, and the backyard is a small pier that sleeps on the water. In the past, there were also flower boats moored for benefactors to take Qingguan's female relatives to go boating on the river.

But right now, beside the river, there is only the body of an obese man in outer clothing, lying quietly in the shadow of the attic, and standing next to him is a shaved man with high cheekbones and slightly sunken cheeks, wearing a gray-white Taoist robe. Thin old man.

On the river not far from here, there is a three-hole stone arch bridge across the bridge. Under the guardrail in the middle of the bridge, the three characters "Zhenhuai Bridge" are engraved.

Standing on one side of the bridge is a river town water beast in the shape of a one-horned rhinoceros. There is a stone seat embedded in the bottom.

Surrounding the water beast, and even on the entire bridge, there were quite a few city people standing, all with expressions of curiosity and fear, disgust and inexplicable excitement on their faces, pointing and whispering to this side.

Shen Luo looked at the man's body, and saw that his body had already been swollen abnormally, and the exposed skin showed a bluish-white color. Although the death looked quite calm, he always felt that there was an evil spirit on his body.

"I've seen a real person." Bai Xiaotian walked up to him and bowed respectfully to the skinny old man.

Shen Luo also cupped his fists.

"Eldest son, you are here." The old Taoist frowned, and returned a salute to the two of them.

"How is the situation now?" Bai Xiaotian asked.

"Like the previous few people, Wu Zuo said they were all drowned after seeing it, and the poor Taoist couldn't find out what's wrong." Bai Shuidao said with a long sigh.

"Does the real person know when he died?" Bai Xiaotian asked.

"Probably from midnight to ugly time last night... I'm ashamed to say that Pindao has actually been stationed in the pavilion, but he didn't notice it at all. It was the servants who first found his body in the morning." Said the priest Baishui.

"Miss Shuiyuan, do you know when he left?" Bai Xiaotian turned to Feng Ma again and asked.

"Oh, she was so frightened that she couldn't tell. She only said that she slept soundly last night, and she didn't even know when she left. Right now, she doesn't even dare to stay in the Shuinuang Pavilion, so she went to rest somewhere else." Mama Feng lamented, Said.

Hearing this, Bai Xiaotian was silent for a moment, then pulled out a yellow paper talisman from his sleeve, walked to the corpse, leaned over and stuck it between his eyebrows.

There was only a soft "poof", and a wisp of flame ignited on the talisman paper, jumped up suddenly, and then burned slowly.

"Yin evil air-inducing talisman!" Taoist Baishui said with his eyes brightened.

When Shen Luo heard the words, he also focused his gaze on the talisman paper.

He has also heard of this kind of talisman, which can use the talisman fire to draw out the hidden evil spirit when it is burned.

If this shopkeeper Gao was really harmed by evil spirits, there would probably be evil spirits in his body. Now that the talisman fire is on Yintang, there should be evil spirits flowing out of the seven orifices.

Chapter 0213

However, when the talisman paper was burned out, Shen Luo did not see any Yin Qi drawn out.

"Take me to Miss Shuiyuan's boudoir." Bai Xiaotian frowned slightly, and said to Feng's mother.
