big dream master

Shen Luo secretly said "It's not good", and immediately raised his hand violently, a water arrow burst out from his sleeve, with three or four small thunder charms nailed to the tip, and shot to the top of the water beast's head with a "swish".

There was a thunderous "boom"!

Several snow-white thunderbolts shone in the night sky again, directly hitting the Zhenhe Water Beast.

"Roar……"

A howl suddenly came out of its mouth, and the swallowing action also stagnated.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shen Luo came to Ma Mian's side and handed the soul-hunting stylus into his hand.

At this time, the red light on Ma Mian's body had also reached its peak, and as soon as the Soul Ecstasy Pen fell into his hand, a tyrannical aura exploded from his body.

Shen Luo was rushed by this force, and flew upside down. Finally, he reversed the castration with oblique moon footwork, and after turning over, he stabilized his figure.

He hurriedly looked over there, and saw that Ma Mian had completely escaped, he was making a formula with one hand, and holding a pen in the other, and began to write in the void.

"Since you didn't bring the evil spirit bottle with you, you are unlucky, so you have to kill it directly!" Hooking Mamian shouted angrily.

The speed in his hands was getting faster and faster, and a dense text was quickly written, turning into a bloody chapter in midair, enveloping from all directions like a net, suppressing the Zhenhe Water Beast.

Under the red light, the blood-colored chapter began to shrink rapidly, and the mist on Zhenhe Water Beast's body was continuously withdrawn from its body, and its original real body also resurfaced.

"Invite the soul and capture the spirit, and suppress and kill Baisha!" Ma Mian burst into shape and shouted loudly.

The rune pattern on the soul-hunting pen in his hand suddenly brightened, and the body of the pen grew ten times larger, piercing straight out like a spear, directly piercing the forehead of the water beast, and the tip of the pen pierced through the back of the head.

"Ow..."

Zhenhe Water Beast let out a heart-piercing roar, and the mist surged violently all over its body, but it was completely absorbed by the ecstasy pen, and its flesh and bones were gradually revealed.

But soon, the bones and flesh also decayed into ashes, and finally drifted away.

At this moment, looking at the ashes of the Zhenhe Water Beast that had already dissipated, a breath suddenly rose, turning into a dense black mist ball that soared into the sky, and shot towards the west of the city suddenly.

Ecstasy Horse Face obviously didn't notice the abnormality beforehand, and when he wanted to stop it, it was too late. After chasing two steps, his footsteps suddenly staggered, almost fell to the ground, so he had to give up.

Shen Luo wanted to go forward to check, but after a little hesitation, he still stood where he was and didn't go forward immediately.

At this moment, Hooking Mamian straightened up again, turned around and looked towards him.

Shen Luoyao cupped his fists and saluted him.

After Ma Mian looked hesitantly for a while, he suddenly waved his sleeve robe, and a flash of light flashed across his body, and he turned back into the appearance of a white-faced scholar.

"Come with me." He strode past Shen Luo and said this.

Shen Luo thought for a while, and immediately followed.

The two of them crossed the badly damaged Zhenhuai Bridge, one behind the other, and disappeared at the end of the street.

After about a stick of incense, Taoist Master Baishui, who had been unconscious for a long time, was rescued. He looked around blankly, only to find three or four figures surrounded by him.

"Third Elders!" He focused his gaze, saw the face of one of them clearly, and shouted immediately.

The man was short in stature, with thin cheeks and gray hair, but his eyes were very sharp, and he was clearly Bai Jiangfeng.

The three people beside him were an old man with a short beard, an old woman with purple eyebrows, and a hunchback. They were all elders from a few respectable cultivation families in Jianye City, and their seniority was not young.

"Fellow Daoist Baishui, what happened here?" The short-bearded old man in a brocade robe asked first.

His name is Huan Lin Shanguo, and he is the elder of the Lin family in Jianye. His family strength is slightly inferior to that of the Bai family, but his own cultivation is not inferior to that of Bai Jiangfeng.

The purple-browed old woman and the hunchbacked hunchback were the elders of the Du family and the Wang family in the city respectively. Hearing Lin Shanguo's question, they looked at each other, and they also focused their eyes on Priest Baishui.

Just as Taoist Baishui was about to speak, he suddenly suffocated slightly, raised his eyes to look at Bai Jiangfeng, and then said: "There are indeed evil spirits in the city. Just now I saw something strange in the backyard. When I went out to check, I was attacked by a water ghost and passed out... ..."

"That's it?" Lin Shanguo was obviously very dissatisfied when he heard this simple answer.

"It's not like this, what else could it be?" Bai Jiangfeng frowned before waiting for Priest Bai Shui to speak, and asked back.

"Fellow Daoist Baishui please explain it in as much detail as possible, it's also for the benefit of us building Ye City." Said the old woman with purple eyebrows.

"What Fellow Daoist Du said is reasonable. At this time of turmoil in the city, everyone should work together. If you find something, don't keep your own secrets." The hunchbacked hunchback said in a hoarse voice.

After a little hesitation, Bai Jiangfeng said slowly, "Let's talk about it in detail, it's okay."

After hearing this, Taoist Master Baishui told all the things he saw and experienced before he fell into a coma.

However, he passed out too early, and he knew very little. After listening to it, several people were also very disappointed. They secretly guessed the identity of the white-faced scholar, but there was no result.

On the other side, Shen Luo has followed Ma Mian to a secluded pavilion.

After the two sat down face to face, the white-faced scholar stared at him for a long time before asking:

"Young man, why do you recognize me?"

Shen Luo sighed inwardly, the "Horse Soul Horse Face" that he yelled earlier was really too abrupt.

The encounter in their dream happened thousands of years later in the dream, and it was obvious that Ma Mian didn't know him right now.

However, Shen Luo still had some doubts in his heart. He still remembered that when he first met at the Yinming Altar, it was Ma Mian who called out his name first, and at that time he was just like Ma Mian now, full of joy. It is doubt.

"I'm Shen Luo, I've heard some legends about my predecessors before, but I never expected to meet them today." Shen Luo had no choice but to improvise a reason and said.

Hooking Mamian heard the words, he didn't know how much he believed, and said: "No matter what, if you didn't help me before, I would have to spend a lot of effort to defeat this water demon today."

While speaking, he took out a black and oily wine gourd from his sleeve, as if remembering his careless forgetting to bring the evil spirit bottle, a look of embarrassment flashed across his brows.

"I don't know what is the water evil that senior said?" Shen Luo asked doubtfully.

"The evil spirit in the water accumulates over the years and forms a cold evil spirit with a certain amount of spiritual consciousness, which is called water evil. It's just that it's not easy for this kind of thing to take shape, and it is often conceived in the blood river of floating corpses." Hooking Ma Mian took a sip of his wine before slowly explaining.

Chapter 0221

"There are people coming and going on the Qinhuai River, and it's very lively, so it shouldn't be possible to conceive this thing." Hearing this, Shen Luo said doubtfully.

"I also find this matter strange, but the world is unpredictable, and some accidents are not uncommon. Besides, there are many resentful couples on the Qinhuai River. There have been many people who have drowned and died over the years, and the evil spirit may not be less. "Ecstasy Mamian said nonchalantly.

"But isn't this river-suppressing water beast originally used to block evil spirits? How could it become a water evil spirit?" Shen Luo asked again.

"That's right. This thing was originally used to block evil spirits and turn disasters. There is one of the 24 bridgeheads in Jianye City, but all the others are the same. Only Zhenhuai Bridge has a problem. The water in the Zhenhe Water Beast's body Sha entrenched, actually wantonly devoured Qinhuai water ghosts, and even controlled them to tempt them to throw water, disturbing the two worlds of yin and yang, really damn it." Ma Mian said, his anger rose, and he took another big gulp of wine.

"Unfortunately, part of it escaped in the end." Shen Luo said with a sigh.

Hearing this, Ma Mian looked a little strange, but suddenly said:

"After sunset tomorrow, if you come here to find me again, I will ask you to do something for me, and I will naturally thank you when the time comes."

"I don't know what to do?" Shen Luo asked with a move in his heart.

"Tomorrow is coming, so you will know." Hooking Ma Mian didn't intend to explain further, after saying a word, he stuffed the wine gourd in his hand into his sleeve, got up and left.

Shen Luo hurried back towards Bai's house full of doubts, suddenly thought of something in his heart, couldn't help muttering to himself: "Thousands of years later, the reason why the soul-hunting horse face will recognize me is because of what happened today, right?"

"What else did he say at the time, I can't be alive, so what's going on?" With this thought, he couldn't help but feel more and more frightened as he thought about it, and felt cold sweat protruding from his back.

"No! Since I knew it in advance, I will never let this happen again!" Shen Luo clenched his fists heavily, making up his mind.

……

In the evening of the second day, Shen Luo finished his day of practice and came to the secluded pavilion according to his words.

When he arrived, the sun had not completely set, and he did not see the figure of Ma Mian in the gazebo. After waiting for a long time, the other party came late, still looking like a white-faced scholar.

"Not bad, it's still punctual." Ma Mian glanced at Shen Luo, nodded and said.

"Senior wants me to do something, I can always say it now." Shen Luo said.

"Don't worry, it's not a dangerous matter of subjugating demons, I just want you to sneak into the Chenghuang Pavilion and fetch three sticks of incense for me." Ma Mian waved his hand at Shen Luo and said solemnly.

"Go to Chenghuang Pavilion to steal incense?" Shen Luo thought he had heard wrong, so he couldn't help asking.

"What kind of robbery, it's ugly, it's taking! Let you go to Chenghuang Pavilion to fetch three old incense sticks that have been infected by incense." Ma Mian coughed lightly and said.

Shen Luo frowned, looking at Ma Mian with a puzzled face.

"To be honest, I fought with Shui Fiend the day before yesterday and suffered some hidden injuries. But right now in Jianye City, there are still things that the local government has assigned me to do. I can't return to recuperate for the time being. I can only steal some incense from the City God to recuperate I'm injured." Ma Mian hesitated for a while before explaining.

"So that's the case. It's just that why didn't the seniors borrow it themselves, but asked the juniors to take it?" Shen Luo nodded thoughtfully, but when he thought about it, he thought of something and asked.

"Nonsense! I am a yin and yin body, and the City God is a higher official, so it is naturally inconvenient." Ma Mian rolled his eyes and said.

Hearing this, Shen Luo still hesitated.

"Don't worry, you are born in the mortal world. You are just taking three incense sticks that have been burned. It is nothing to the City God. The big deal is that you will go to the incense and pray later. There will be no problem. As long as you I will definitely thank you for completing this matter." Seeing Shen Luo hesitate, Ma Mian urged impatiently.

Hearing the word "thank you so much", Shen Luo couldn't help but move slightly, and the two terms magic weapon and immortal jade couldn't help but pop up in his mind.

The rewards he wants most right now are these two.

"Okay, I'll help you just once." Shen Luo no longer hesitated, and nodded immediately.

"Remember, it's the darkest old incense in the incense tube on the table, so don't take it by mistake." Ma Mian breathed a sigh of relief, and warned again.

"Understood." Shen Luo agreed, and ran out in small steps.

The Town God's Temple in Jianye City covers a large area, with many believers coming and going, and the incense is strong all the year round.

When Shen Luo rushed to the temple, it was already completely dark. When an elderly Miao Zhu was about to close the temple gate, he stopped him, saying that he came from a long way to offer a stick of incense to the city god. , throw an incense money.

Seeing his sincerity, Miao Zhu let him in.

Shen Luo arrived in the hall, saw the merit box in front of him, without saying a word, took out ten taels of silver from his bosom, and threw it in.

The temple wishers on the side rarely saw such a generous pilgrim, and immediately smiled, and hurriedly stepped forward to collect incense for him.

"Bringing incense to yourself will prove your sincerity." Seeing this, Shen Luo hurriedly stopped her and said.

Miao Zhu seemed to think it was reasonable when he heard the words, so he retreated and let Shen Luo get the incense by himself.

Shen Luo rummaged through the incense tube for a while, finally twisted out three darker incense sticks, put them in his sleeves calmly, then picked out three bright red heart incense sticks, stepped forward and lighted them.

When he was offering incense, he didn't make any vows in his heart, but just kept pleading guilty, so that the city god would not care about him.

Then, he left the Town God's Temple and returned to the gazebo.

"That's right, that's right, it's exactly this thing." Ma Mian took the three sticks of Chen Xiang from Shen Luo's hands, and said with a smile on his face as if he had found a treasure.

After finishing speaking, he took three incense sticks and took a deep sniff in front of his nose.

Shen Luo saw that the three incense sticks had not been ignited, but a scarlet light spot was ignited at the top, and as the horse's face inhaled, it quickly burned towards the end of the incense stick.

The smoke from the three incense sticks was inhaled by Ma Mian, and his face immediately became rosy, and his expression became very refreshed.

It's just that the incense sticks after the fire were immediately turned into ashes and drifted away.

"Could it be that this is the scene of immortals eating incense?" Shen Luo stared at this scene with wide eyes, feeling very surprised.

"You did a good job. This is your reward. It's done." Ma Mian looked very satisfied, and slowly reached into his sleeve, took out a black scroll about three inches long, and handed it to Shen Luo.

"It's not immortal jade..." The moment Shen Luo's eyes fell on the scroll, a sigh sounded in his heart.

However, he still had a glimmer of hope, hoping that this scroll would be a magic weapon.

Shen Luo received it in his hand, slowly opened the letter dubiously, and saw a black silk script in front of his eyes, with crooked and bright red seal script writing on it, his heart sank.

"Psychic contract?" When he saw the words on the top of the scroll, there was no longer a look of disappointment in his eyes.

Chapter 0222 Unspoken

The thank you that Ma Mian said was neither a magic weapon nor a fairy jade, but some kind of psychic contract.

If it is this thing, Shen Luo is naturally no stranger to the art of psychic conquest, but he doesn't think there is anything precious about it, at least for him, it is a dispensable thing .

"Why, are you dissatisfied with this thing?" Seeing his expression, Ma Mian was a little surprised at first, and asked angrily.

"No, it's just a little accident." Shen Luo said with an embarrassed smile.

"Boy, don't be ignorant. This thing is not an ordinary psychic contract. As long as you sign this contract, you can call me to help you if you encounter a crisis in the future!" Ma Mian stared Shen Luo glanced and said.

"Can it be anytime, anywhere?" Shen Luo asked in surprise.

The strength of this soul-hunting horse face can't be seen at all based on his current state. He only knows that it should be at least above the soul-condensing stage. If he can really help him, it will be a great thing.

However, before he could finish his joy, Ma Mian poured another basin of cold water on his head.

"You can use it anytime, anywhere, but this contract is consumable and can only be used once. You'd better not waste it at will." Ma Mian watched Shen Luo's smiling face gradually stiffen, and the depression in his chest just now was swept away. .

"It can only be used once..." Shen Luo couldn't help muttering.

"Don't you think that anyone can get the psychic contract in the underworld? Originally, according to the rules of the underworld, only a small number of destined immortal cultivators have the qualifications and opportunities after completing the tasks received from the underworld. , get such a psychic contract!" Ma Mian shouted angrily after hearing the words.

"What is the mission of the underworld?" Shen Luo's heart moved, and he became a little interested.
