big dream master

Mama Feng immediately agreed, took a few people back to Shuinuan Pavilion, and went to a boudoir on the second floor facing the river. The room was filled with the fragrance of makeup and powder, and the furnishings were a bit messy, and various traces of last night were still maintained.

Bai Xiaotian lit another Yin Sha Qi-inducing Talisman, walked around the room with his fingers between his fingers, watched the Talisman fire gradually go out, but did not find anything abnormal.

"It seems that there is nothing wrong with it." Bai Xiaotian couldn't help but pondered.

"Don't jump to conclusions, there was another Qingguan who drowned in the river earlier, why don't you go to her boudoir?" Shen Luo said.

"Pindao Yinque's room has been inspected, and there is nothing wrong with it." Taoist Baishui frowned, glanced at Shen Luo with some dissatisfaction, and said.

"Since you're here, why not watch it again?" Shen Luo just smiled and said.

When Taoist Baishui heard this, a trace of sullenness flashed across his face.

"Since the real person has already checked it, there must be no problem. It's just that the junior was ordered to investigate this matter, so you might as well take another look, so you can explain it to your father when you go back." Seeing this, Bai Xiaotian quickly smoothed things over.

"This statement... makes sense." Upon hearing this, Taoist Priest Bai Shui's expression softened a little.

Mama Feng went to get the key, and then opened the brass lock on the door of the adjacent room.

"After Yinque died, I locked this room and temporarily abandoned it." Feng Ma explained.

Shen Luo and the others walked into the house, and saw that the things inside had been cleaned up, leaving only the tables, chairs and gums, which had already been covered with a light layer of dust.

Bai Xiaotian took out another Yin Sha Qi-inducing talisman and tapped it on, and walked around the room.

Shen Luo came to the bed, opened the closed window, and saw the Qinhuai River outside at a glance, and then looked down and saw the fat man's body again.

The river water next to the corpse is green with a dark background, which gives people a sense of depth after a long time.

"There is no yin energy, it seems that it is probably just a coincidence, there is nothing weird." Bai Xiaotian said after the talisman paper in his hand burned out.

"It's just that you can't detect the presence of Yin Qi, which doesn't prove that there is no weirdness. I think there must be something strange about this matter. You'd better not make a conclusion easily." Shen Luo looked away from the river and frowned.

"Hmph, where did the great monk come from? The eldest son and I have both seen it, and there is no problem, but you insist that there is a ghost, so tell me, where is the weirdness?" Daoist Baishui was very displeased, and snorted coldly Said.

At this time, Mama Feng looked at Shen Luo with a little anger. They opened the door to do business because they didn't want to be involved in the haunting, but because of Bai Xiaotian, they didn't dare to speak.

Shen Luo was about to argue a few words, when Bai Xiaotian winked at him, signaling him not to speak too much.

At the same time, there was a sudden noise outside the window.

"What's going on, go out and have a look?" Bai Xiaotian said along the way, and then pulled Shen Luo to walk downstairs together.

Lao Dao and Feng Ma hurriedly followed.

When they came to the water bank in the backyard, they saw the people who were watching the drowned corpse, and they were surrounding a white-faced scholar in a Confucian shirt, loudly reprimanding something.

Shen Luo listened for a few words before realizing that it was the white-faced scholar who stood on the stone seat of the river water beast in order to overlook the corpse of the tall shopkeeper. .

"I said you young man, why are you so ignorant, so disrespectful of ghosts and gods, you are in vain as a scholar!"

"That's right, scholars don't study books and reason, so they come here to join in the fun!"

"I collided with the Zhenhe Water Beast, I'm looking for death! If there is a water ghost that takes your life, you will be the next one..."

"I don't speak a word, you have strange powers and gods, your ghosts and ghosts are all nonsense..." The scholar was so red-faced by everyone's scolding that he couldn't help but defend himself.

Who would have thought that his voice was not loud, but was clearly heard by the Baishui Taoist, and he immediately reprimanded:

"Where did the ignorant and corrupt scholars come from, dare to talk nonsense there, and don't get out!"

This angry shout, with the voice of one person, overwhelmed the noise of dozens of people on the bridge, so frightened that scholar couldn't help but tremble.

The people around paused for a moment, and then began to denounce the scholar loudly.

The white-faced scholar was scolded so embarrassingly that he had no choice but to jump down from the stone platform under the water beast. He glanced at the old Taoist from a distance, and his gaze touched Shen Luo intentionally or unintentionally, and then hurriedly squeezed into the crowd In, gone.

When Shen Luo saw his appearance when he left, and the look in his eyes when he met him briefly, he always felt a strange feeling of déjà vu in his heart, but when he thought about it carefully, he didn't have the slightest memory.

The few people returned to the Shuinuan Pavilion, Bai Xiaotian told Taoist Baishui to continue to stay here, not to relax his vigilance for the time being, and then left with Shen Luo.

When the two returned to the carriage, Bai Xiaotian saw that Shen Luo remained silent, thinking that it was because of his unhappiness with Taoist Baishui just now that he had a grudge, so he smiled and said:

"Baishui Taoist has been serving as an enshrinement in my family for many years, and he has been conscientious. I must respect him three points."

In fact, how did he know that it was the white-faced scholar who Shen Luo was still thinking about.

"You really believe in the matter of Shui Nuan Pavilion, isn't it weird?" Hearing what Bai Xiaotian said, Shen Luo came back to his senses and asked with a frown.

"I'm not stupid. It's not strange that four people were killed in a row in half a month. It's just that if you can't find out the evil spirit, you can't say some things casually." Bai Xiaotian smiled wryly and said in a low voice.

"What do you mean by that? Could it be that you don't think this is the work of something dark?" Shen Luo wondered.

"The Bai family is firmly seated as the number one exorcist family in Jianye City. Over the years, both the Lin family and the Du family have competed with us." Bai Xiaotian didn't say anything more.

Shen Luo knew in his heart that he suspected that someone was targeting the Bai family and did these things on purpose, but for some reason, he felt that things here might not be that simple.

But what he thinks right now is just his intuition, without evidence, he can't speak freely.

"Earlier you said you were going out too, what did you want to do?" Bai Xiaotian asked.

"I want to go to the shops in the city to see if I can buy things like talisman paper and spiritual materials." Shen Luo said.

"I have a lot of talisman papers at home. As for spiritual materials, what do you want to buy?" Bai Xiaotian asked suspiciously.

"I didn't think about it. I'll see it when I go, and I'll take it as a gain of knowledge." Shen Luo smiled and said casually.

"Okay, anyway, I have nothing to do right now, so I'll take you there to open your eyes, otherwise you might walk all over Jianye City and don't know where to buy these things." Bai Xiaotian said with a smile.

Chapter 0214 Second Young Master

Under his guidance, the carriage went around the corner of the street and got on the Zhenhuai Bridge just now. There were still many people gathered on it, and only after the coachman urged them did they make way for them.

They just crossed the stone bridge and went to the other side.

The carriage passed through the streets and alleys, and gradually moved away from the most prosperous area near the Qinhuai River. The pedestrians along the way gradually became rare, and the shops on both sides also returned to simplicity, without the previous gorgeous decorations, and became simple and natural.

About half an hour later, the carriage entered a deserted street, Bai Xiaotian called to a stop, got out of the carriage with Shen Luo on foot, and walked into the street.

"In this city of Jianye, there are not many shops that can sell spiritual materials and medicines needed by practitioners. Most of them are scattered in some inconspicuous corners of the city. It is difficult for ordinary people to find them without an acquaintance leading the way. "Bai Xiaotian said while leading the way.

Shen Luo looked forward in the direction of Bai Xiaotian, and saw a row of shop corners not far away, with a two-story attic with a small facade, white walls and blue tiles, which looked very ordinary.

Under the eaves of the door hangs a wooden plaque with black oily luster, and there are fine cracks on it. At first glance, it looks like an old object. The three characters "Lubaotang" are engraved on it in ancient seal script. There is also a line of small characters "Jianye Grocery Store".

And at the entrance of the shop, there were two tall young men in black standing guarding the left and right like two door gods.

Before the two of Shen Luo came close, they heard a noise coming from inside the shop.

He listened carefully, and could vaguely hear a young voice coming out intermittently.

"Old man Ma, let your daughter follow me obediently, even if she can't be the main wife, she can be a concubine..."

"Don't worry, my son will treat her well, so you can be a happy father-in-law. Isn't it more comfortable than running this small shop?"

Hearing this, Shen Luo couldn't help but frown. This is obviously the standard version of a bully bullying and robbing women. He had seen it in the scriptures in his free time before, but he didn't expect to meet it in reality. .

"Oh, I didn't expect it to be in broad daylight..." Shen Luo turned to look at Bai Xiaotian, and swallowed half of what he said.

All he could see was that Bai Xiaotian's entire face had turned dark, and a nameless anger was suppressed in his eyes, almost about to burst out.

When Shen Luo was surprised at why Bai Xiaotian was so hot, he saw that he had already rushed towards the door of the shop with strides, and the two young men in black at the door sensed something was wrong, and they had already greeted him.

Seeing that there was going to be a conflict, Shen Luo hurriedly followed.

In the end, I saw the two young men in black coming to Bai Xiaotian, and suddenly they clasped their fists and gave a salute, and called out "Elder Young Master" respectfully.

Shen Luo raised his eyebrows, as if he realized something.

Hearing Bai Xiaotian scolded in a low voice, "You bastard", he already swayed and rushed into the Lubao hall.

Shen Luo also walked into the shop in a hurry, and saw a short and fat old man wearing a soft horn headband and a collared shirt leaning against the shop counter. He shrank back slightly, blocking a man in a skirt. young girl.

The old man had a fair face, drooping brows and eyes, two beards with a slightly splayed character on his lips, and a sad look on his face.

The girl behind him is only fourteen or fifteen years old, with a snow-white complexion, bright eyes, a beautiful nose and red lips, and bright red flowers dotted between her eyebrows, her beauty is lively and lively.

And in front of the two of them, stood a young man dressed in white brocade clothes, a white jade belt around his waist, and a carved jade crown. .

It's just that the young man looked no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, but he was stroking his chin with one hand, with a completely funny appearance pretending to be old.

"Bai Xiaoyun, your skin is itchy again, isn't it?" At this time, Bai Xiaotian suddenly shouted angrily.

The moment the white-clothed boy heard Bai Xiaotian's voice, his expression changed suddenly, and he hurriedly retracted the hand that was under his chin, but he didn't seem to know where to put it, and he seemed a little flustered.

"Brother...Brother, why are you here?" The boy in white turned to look at Bai Xiaotian, and hurriedly called out.

"Why did I come? If I didn't come, you still have to poke a hole in the sky?" Seeing his appearance, Bai Xiaotian couldn't help but get angry, rolled up his sleeves and was about to step forward.

Bai Xiaoyun immediately covered his ears like a mouse seeing a cat, showing a pitiful expression, and shouted: "Brother, don't pull your ears, don't slap your face."

After finishing speaking, he closed his eyes and put on a look of being slaughtered.

Bai Xiaotian raised his hand, clenched it slowly, and hit his forehead with a "boom".

"what……"

Bai Xiaoyun screamed, immediately hugged his head, and gasped in pain.

Shen Luo watched from the side, and couldn't help showing a smile.

Sensing Shen Luo's reaction, Bai Xiaoyun didn't dare to raise his head, but just squinted at him and gave him a hard stare.

Shen Luo smiled even wider, and raised his hand to caress his chin, as if he was imitating the boy's previous appearance when he was domineering.

This action immediately enraged Bai Xiaoyun, his eyes lit up with anger, and just about to raise his head, he ate another chestnut, and Bai Xiaotian beat him to lower his head again.

This time the force was even heavier, Bai Xiaoyun was so painful that tears were about to fall out, but he didn't dare to show any resentment towards Bai Xiaotian.

Shen Luo saw it in his eyes and secretly smiled.

This young man looked like a thorn in his face, but Bai Xiaotian took care of him submissively.

"This is how our Bai family taught you how to treat people and things? You still haven't apologized to Shopkeeper Ma and Miss Ma." Seeing that the young man had calmed down, Bai Xiao came out to teach him a lesson.

"Brother, I'm only here to ask for marriage. As the saying goes, a fair lady is a gentleman, so what's wrong?" Bai Xiaoyun muttered in a low voice, not forgetting to glance at the girl hiding behind the horse shopkeeper.

"You're still quibbling!" Seeing this, Bai Xiaotian became even more angry.

Bai Xiaoyun stiffened his neck, still covered his ears with his hands, and said nothing.

"Treasurer Ma, I'm really sorry. It's because our Bai family has neglected discipline. I'm here to apologize to you." Bai Xiaotian sighed, and could only fold his fists and bow, apologizing to Shopkeeper Ma and his daughter.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding..." Shopkeeper Ma said hastily.

The girl behind him blushed and said nothing.

"One person does things and one person is responsible. My apologies, I shouldn't be the brother. Mr. Ma... shopkeeper Ma, I'm sorry, I was wrong, please forgive me." Bai Xiaoyun suddenly tensed up, clenched his fists, and gritted his teeth.

Seeing this scene, Shen Luo suddenly felt that this young man seemed to be interesting.

"Since it's a misunderstanding, there's no need to apologize. It's not a big deal..." Shopkeeper Ma wiped his sweat and said.

"The shopkeeper Ma forgives you, but it doesn't mean you'll be fine. You go home first, and I'll look for you later." Bai Xiaotian glared at Bai Xiaoyun and said.

Bai Xiaoyun let out an "oh", without further ado, turned around and left.

When he came to the door, he suddenly raised his head to take a look at Shen Luo, and seeing the interested look on his face, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.

"What are you looking at!" Bai Xiaoyun scolded, and walked away with two young men in black.

Chapter 0215 Materials for Drawing Talismans

"My younger brother is rude, causing trouble to shopkeeper Ma." A trace of helplessness flashed across Bai Xiaotian's face, and he said to shopkeeper Ma again.

"Sir, don't say that, or you'll be an old man. I don't know if I'm here today, but what do I want to buy?" The horse shopkeeper was whispering a few times to ask his daughter to retreat to the back hall. Hearing this, he waved his hands and asked.

"It's not what I want to buy, but I want to introduce you to a friend, Shen Luo. This is the shopkeeper of Ma Luma." Bai Xiaotian said, and introduced each other to Shen Luo and shopkeeper Ma.

"It turned out to be Mr. Shen. Since he is a friend of Mr. Eldest, it doesn't matter if you need anything. The items in the small shop are absolutely genuine." Shopkeeper Ma turned to Shen Luo and asked.

"I'm ashamed to say that I didn't have a clear idea of ​​what I wanted. I wanted to see what spiritual materials you have in your store first, so I can have a good idea in case I need it." Shen Luo said.

"Master, if you want to see spirit materials, then you have come to the right place. Don't think that our small shop is not big, but it is well-known in Jianye City for its abundance of spirit materials. There are names on the Baibaoge , see if you are interested." Shopkeeper Ma said with a smile.

Shen Luo's attention had been on Bai Xiaoyun before, but he didn't pay attention to the furnishings in the shop.

At this moment, he took a look and noticed that there were a lot of Bamboo boxes nailed to the opposite wall, which looked like a medicine storage cabinet in his own pharmacy. There were also small notes on it, marking the name of the goods. .

His eyes scanned the top layer of Baibaoge one by one, and found that he had seen many of the names on it in the "Fairy Herbs", and he knew a thing or two about most of the medicinal properties.

"Shopkeeper, dare to ask, how old is the ginseng written on the Baibaoge? What's the price?" Shen Luo's heart moved, and he asked.

"The ginseng sold in this shop is all 50-year-old ginseng, and the price is calculated by money. A penny of ginseng is worth a hundred taels of gold." Ma shopkeeper replied.
