big dream master

While speaking, he took out a long box from Babaoge, put it on the counter, and opened it.

Shen Luo leaned over and took a look. Excluding the root hairs, it was only as long as a tail finger, and there was not even a single wire pattern on it. It was very different from the thousand-year-old ginseng he dug in the Baicao Valley of Fangcun Mountain.

This ginseng looks like only three or four dollars, but it is worth three or four hundred taels of gold. Shen Luo couldn't help but secretly stunned. If his thousand-year-old ginseng could be produced, wouldn't it be worth several million taels of gold? ?

"It's really a treasure." Shen Luo praised, and gently pushed the long box back.

Seeing this, the horse shopkeeper frowned slightly, with a smile on his face, and took it back again.

Shen Luo continued to look around, and suddenly his eyes flashed, and he saw a rather familiar name: Fuyingyu.

This thing is one of the materials needed to refine the rune ink used to refine the thunderbolt talisman.

So, Shen Luo moved his eyes again, moved back and forth on the Bambage, and soon found the "blue calcium carbide" and "golden scallop" one after another, and couldn't help but feel happy.

If he bought all these materials, he could try to draw another high-level talisman and thunderbolt talisman.

In the battle of Changshou Village, the power released by the Thunderbolt Talismans is still fresh in his memory.

"Shopkeeper, what are the prices of the floating shadow jade, blue calcium carbide and golden scallop?" Shen Luo asked again.

"These things are commonly used in refining talisman ink, and the price is not expensive. Golden scallops and blue calcium carbide are ten taels of silver each, and floating shadow jade is a little more expensive, 15 taels each." Shopkeeper Ma said.

"It's really not expensive..." Shen Luo pondered.

He calculated that he still had some loose silver on him, but it was only a few dozen taels. Even if he used all of it to buy these things, he would not be able to buy much at all.

"Mr. Shen is interested in these things. Could it be that you are still a talisman master?" Shopkeeper Ma asked with bright eyes as he thought of something.

When Bai Xiaotian heard the words, he also looked at Shen Luo with some doubts.

"Shopkeeper Ma is just joking. How can I be considered a talisman teacher? I'm just drawing casually. It depends on God's will." Shen Luo smiled and said.

"Mr. Shen is too modest... In business, if you really have the ability to draw talismans, we might as well say that this shop not only sells spiritual materials and talismans, but also buys talismans and other spell-casting artifacts. The price is absolutely fair." Shopkeeper Ma looked at the change in Shen Luo's expression, and said.

"Shopkeeper Ma's words really make my heart itch. If you really have a talisman in the future, you can bring it to the shopkeeper to sell it, so don't be disgusted." Shen Luo's eyes lit up immediately after hearing the words.

"That's natural." Shopkeeper Ma said, patting his chest.

Bai Xiaotian looked a little dumbfounded from the side, he clearly brought Shen Luo a lot of knowledge, why are they chatting, it looks like they are going to do business with each other?

"In that case, I want five of these three things." Shen Luo pondered for a while and said.

"Okay, let's pack it for you now." While speaking, the horse shopkeeper turned around and went to pack it.

Shen Luo looked at Bai Xiaotian, and gave him a look for help.

Bai Xiaotian was taken aback for a moment, then understood, and said, "Shopkeeper Ma, just charge the things Shen Luo bought to my account."

"Okay." Shopkeeper Ma replied without turning his head.

"Atmospheric... I'll contact my family in a few days and I'll pay you back." Shen Luo gave him a thumbs up and smiled.

"This little money, being so polite to me, doesn't it mean that you don't regard me as a friend." Bai Xiaotian slapped Shen Luo's thumb off and cursed with a smile.

"Mr. Shen, we also have excellent green frost talisman paper and purple cloud talisman paper in our store, why don't you take a look too?" Shopkeeper Ma wrapped the floating shadow jade and other things on the counter, and asked tentatively .

"Then I'll be the shopkeeper Ma." Shen Luo became interested when he heard the "Purple Cloud Talisman Paper".

In the jade slip he got in Fangcun Mountain, several high-level talismans were clearly marked under the records, and Ziyun paper was needed as the talisman paper to become a talisman.

Among them, there is only the thunderbolt talisman, which can be replaced by other talisman papers.

At that time, Shen Luo didn't understand what was so special about the "Purple Cloud Talisman Paper", but now he can clear up his doubts.

Soon, the shopkeeper took out two wooden boxes from Baibaoge and placed them on the counter. He was ten times more careful than before, and slowly opened the two wooden boxes.

Shen Luo looked intently, and saw a stack of cyan talisman papers the size of a palm in the wooden box on the left. Like frost and snow.

And in the wooden box on the right, there is also a stack of talisman papers, the same size as the cyan talisman papers, but the paper is thicker, dark purple in color, and clusters of darker auspicious cloud patterns can be vaguely seen on the surface.

"Master Ma, may I ask what is the difference between these two talisman papers?" Shen Luo asked doubtfully.

Chapter 0216 Dividing the Talisman Paper

"Could it be that Mr. Shen doesn't know the difference on the talisman?" Shopkeeper Ma seemed a little surprised when he heard this.

"I'm really not sure about this, please give me some advice from the shopkeeper." Shen Luo said.

"Then let's make a fool of myself... There are high and low grades for this talisman, and there are also talisman papers. Among them, the commonly seen yellow talisman paper, that is, the yellow table paper, is the most common and the most inferior." Shopkeeper Ma laughed twice. , said.

"I'm quite clear about this. The mana and aura of heaven and earth that the yellow talisman paper can withstand are limited, so only low-level talismans can be drawn. If high-level talismans are forcibly drawn, the talisman paper will not be able to withstand it and will burn by itself. But the green How is the frost paper different?" Although Shen Luo knew that the green frost paper was better than the yellow talisman paper, he didn't know where it was superior.

"I wonder if Fellow Daoist Shen has ever heard of the term 'green words and green seals'?" Shopkeeper Ma asked back.

"Of course I have heard that the green words and green chapters refer to the memorials and blessings dedicated to the heavens when the Taoists hold fasting sacrifices. What is the shopkeeper asking for this?" Shen Luo nodded and said.

"This Qingshuang paper also has another name, it's called Qingci paper." Shopkeeper Ma said with a smile while stroking his beard.

"So, this Qing Ci paper is the talisman paper used to write Zhu Wen?" Shen Luo suddenly asked.

"That's right. At the beginning of the production of this kind of talisman paper, it was originally used to write green words and green chapters, which were used to represent heaven and listen, and to communicate with heaven and earth. It's just that a kind of spiritual material called praying incense was mixed in the production, so it was named The talisman drawn on this paper is easy to attract the aura of heaven and earth, and the probability of forming a talisman is naturally higher." Ma shopkeeper said.

"The purple cloud talisman, what else do you say?" Shen Luo asked.

"The reason why this kind of talisman paper is named 'Purple Cloud' is because the main material for its production is a kind of spiritual material called Purple Spirit Crimson Grass. Its growth environment is harsh and its stock is very rare. But this grass is good at Naling Qi storage, after being made into talisman paper, also retains this characteristic, which can withstand a greater force than Qingci talisman paper, so it is often used to draw high-level talismans." Ma Zhanggui said.

"Taught. I don't know how to sell these two talisman papers?" Shen Luo asked immediately.

"Qing Ci paper is not too expensive. You can buy ten sheets for one piece of immortal jade, but if you change to Ziyun paper, you can only buy one sheet." Shopkeeper Ma stroked his beard on his lips and said.

"I can only use immortal jade, can't gold and silver be used?" Shen Luo frowned and couldn't help asking.

"Mr. Shen, these two items are different from ordinary spiritual materials, and they can only be purchased with immortal jade." Shopkeeper Ma shook his head and said.

Shen Luo naturally has no fairy jade right now, and of course he can no longer borrow it from Bai Xiaotian, so if he wants to try to draw several other high-level talismans, he can only put it on hold for now.

"For the talismans I can draw right now, yellow talisman paper is enough. It would be a waste of money to use this kind of high-grade talisman paper." Shen Luo said with a smile without changing his expression.

"It's okay, it's okay. These talisman papers are here, and they can't grow wings to fly away. Wait until Fellow Daoist Shen learns the essence of talismans and can draw high-level talismans, it won't be too late to come here to buy them." Shopkeeper Ma took back the wooden box calmly, He said with a smile.

Afterwards, Shen Luo deliberately looked at some spiritual materials, and found that only the "Lightning Wood" was suitable for refining the Pure Yang Talisman Sword. Unfortunately, he also needed immortal jade to buy it, so he had to give up.

After Bai Xiaotian paid for Fuyingyu and other things for him, the two left Lubaotang.

"Where can I get this fairy jade?" Shen Luo asked on the way back.

"Immortal jade is different from gold and silver. Ordinary people can't touch it. However, sometimes when the family accepts the request to subdue the demon, the other party will also use immortal jade as a reward. As for other places, go to some sect to worship, and maybe you can get it." Right." Bai Xiaotian said.

"The horse shopkeeper said earlier that they would also buy the drawn talisman, but I don't know if it can be settled with immortal jade?" Shen Luo asked again, rubbing his chin.

"What are you thinking, don't dream! Unless it is a high-level talisman, is it possible? Ordinary low-level talismans can only be settled in gold and silver, and they have to be offensive talismans to be worth some money." Bai Xiao When it was white, Shen Luo glanced at it, and immediately poured a basin of cold water on it.

Shen Luo chuckled, thinking in his heart that the level of the thunderbolt talisman and the flying talisman were not low. If they could be sold, they would definitely be settled with immortal jade. It's a pity that he doesn't have any money left to buy the talisman needed runes paper and materials.

The two chatted one after another, and the carriage passed the Zhenhuai Bridge again.

Shen Luo opened a corner of the car curtain, looked outside, and saw that the people on the bridge watching the excitement had all dispersed, and the corpse on the water bank in the backyard of the Shuinuang Pavilion seemed to have been taken away by his family.

He slowly withdrew his gaze, and was about to put down the car curtain in his hand, when suddenly he was startled.

Because he saw a rather familiar pattern of flowers on the back of the river-suppressing water beast at the head of the bridge.

"The other shore flower..."

Shen Luo thought to himself, and when he tried to see clearly again, the carriage had already passed the bridge and turned to the street on the right.

"What's wrong?" Bai Xiaotian asked when he saw that his expression was different.

"It's nothing, it's just that the river-suppressing water beast looks a little strange, so I took a second look." Shen Luo hesitated for a while, but still didn't tell the truth.

"That thing has been around for a while, and there are quite a few along the river in Jianye City. It is said that when Jianye City was first built, the Qinhuai River flooded twice, submerging half of the city. The water veins are too strong and the evil spirit is rampant, so the government ordered to build a lot of river town water beasts to suppress the water veins. Don't mention it, the Qinhuai River has really calmed down since then, and there has been no more trouble flood." Bai Xiaotian explained to Shen Luo without doubting him.

"In this way, that fairy teacher is also a real expert." Shen Luo said thoughtfully.

After the carriage traveled for a while, Shen Luo suddenly remembered something, and asked again: "Do you know about the Spring and Autumn View, how is the investigation going?"

"There is no progress yet. After my father sent a letter to Ruoshuimen and other cultivating sects, he immediately sent people to go there to cooperate with the investigation. When they arrived, they found that the entire Spring and Autumn Temple had been burned, and all traces had been erased. Nothing can be found out." Bai Xiaotian said with a sigh.

"What about Gu Hualing and Wang Qingsong, have you investigated the news about these two people?" Shen Luo frowned.

"Wang Qingsong started very early, and rarely interacted with outsiders. The only people who know his details are Master Luo, Master Fengyang, and his uncle. It's a pity that they are all unknown, so the clues have been broken. As for the ancient Hualing, it is also Whether Wang Qingsong brought into the mountain gate, no matter whether his identity was fake or not, there is no way to investigate now." Bai Xiaotian thought for a while and said.

"So, so many disciples of Chunqiu Guan died in vain?" Shen Luo asked with a slightly cold expression.

Chapter 0217 Night Walk

Although he is not close to the Spring and Autumn audience, when the sect was in danger, whether it was Master Luo or his uncle, they all gave him great trust and passed on the "Chunyang Treasure" to him. An explanation, he could not accept.

"There is nothing we can do about it for the time being. The other sects have already evacuated people. Our Bai family still left a few people there to watch secretly. If we find anything else, we will report back." Bai Xiaotian was a little Reluctantly said.

"My family..." Shen Luo hesitated for a moment before asking.

Previously, for the sake of his family's safety, he insisted on not contacting his family, but he was really worried.

"The matter of Chunqiu Temple has been covered up. The outside world doesn't know much, and ordinary people don't have any news. So your family thought you were on the mountain. But don't worry, my father has ordered you to take care of your house secretly, so there will be no What's the problem?" Bai Xiaotian comforted with a smile.

"Thank you very much. Now that the situation over there has stabilized, I will send a letter to my family in the past few days to tell them what's going on." Shen Luo said immediately after hearing the words.

"That's fine." Bai Xiaotian nodded and said.

……

Not long after returning to the White Mansion, Bai Xiaotian was quite refreshed, and immediately sent someone to send a stack of yellow talisman papers and a small jar of cinnabar. Shen Luo did not go to the secret room at the bottom of the lake to practice, but stayed in the house to draw Talisman.

In the dream of Changshou Village before, Shen Luo came into contact with more high-level talismans, and his understanding of drawing talismans became more and more profound. Now he can draw low-level talismans such as "Little Thunder Talisman" with ease. Can draw a picture.

In addition, his control of mana has become more proficient, and his consumption is much less than before.

However, it took him an hour to draw more than a dozen small thunder symbols.

After he stopped writing, he sat cross-legged back on the bed and meditated to adjust his breath.

However, after coming out of the state of drawing talismans, his mood began to become a little chaotic, and he couldn't help recalling the pattern of the other shore flower on the back of the water beast in his mind, he was slow to settle down, and finally had to give up.

In the end, I had no choice but to take out a book I borrowed from Bai Xiaotian, and flip through it casually.

At night, lights were lit up everywhere in the White Mansion, and there was red light inside and outside the courtyard.

After Shen Luo had dinner, he walked to the front yard alone, and saw that the gate had been closed, only the side door beside it was still open, and there were several attendants standing beside the gate.

He hesitated for a moment, and walked towards the side door.

The attendants of the White House had already received the management order, so they naturally knew Shen Luo, and the leader of them greeted him proactively.

"Master Shen, are you going out?" the man asked after saluting.

"Well, go for a walk." Shen Luo nodded and said casually.

"It's getting late, Mr. Shen, don't go too far, it's best not to go out of this Yonghua Street, the city is not very peaceful recently." Naturally, the attendant didn't dare to stop him, so he carefully instructed.

"Remember it, thank you very much." Hearing the words, Shen Luo cupped his fists slightly and said.

He originally planned to go out secretly, but when he thought about how many hidden masters there were in the Bai family, in order not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings, he finally decided to go out openly.

After Shen Luo came out from the side door, he paced away from the White Mansion. Seeing no one around, he immediately activated his mana and poured it towards his legs. The pace of his feet changed immediately, and his figure suddenly sprinted forward and go.

In Jianye City at night, there is no curfew in most of the urban areas, especially the area near the Qinhuai River, which is brightly lit and lively, and it looks no worse than in the daytime.

However, due to the recent occurrence of strange things in the city, and the rumors about the Shuinuan Pavilion became more and more mysterious, there are still a lot fewer pedestrians on the street than in the past.

There is one place that is completely different, and that is the half block near Zhenhuai Bridge.

Naturally, the Shuinuan Pavilion has completely closed down, and the nearby shops have also closed their doors early due to it. Even the boating night tour, which used to be a favorite of scholars and literati, was banned by the government and temporarily stopped.

When Shen Luo arrived here, he saw that the street was deserted, only the vermilion lanterns hanging in front of each house, and a few sporadically lit ones, reflecting a section of the street bright red and a section of darkness.

He stood at the corner of the street, glanced towards the door of Shuinuan Pavilion, then turned the corner of the street and rushed to Zhenhuai Bridge.

Just after taking two steps, Shen Luo's whole body tensed up suddenly, and when he realized that something was staring at him, the hairs on his body immediately stood on end.

His body was a little stiff, and he turned his head slowly, looking towards the dark corner of the wall on the right.

From the darkness, a figure slowly came out, wearing a Confucian shirt, it turned out to be the white-faced scholar whom he saw in the daytime.

"Boy, it can be seen that you are a practitioner, but you'd better not meddle in the affairs here, and leave quickly." The man walked towards him and said in a low voice.

When Shen Luo heard his voice, his expression changed again, and an inexplicable sense of familiarity came to his heart again.

But before he could figure it out, the white-faced scholar had already passed him and turned to Zhenhuai Bridge.

Just as Shen Luo was about to follow, he heard the man say in a warning tone: "Listen to people's advice to eat enough, young people, don't always do things to seek death..."

He stopped immediately, and after a moment of hesitation, he turned around and walked in the direction he came from.
