big dream master

"Why, you also want to accept the mission of the underworld? With your current cultivation, it is really not enough." Ma Mian pursed his lips and said.

"Your Excellency has said everything, so don't hide it. I can't do it now, but it doesn't mean I can't do it in the future." Shen Luo teased.

"Okay, I'll let you learn more! Generally speaking, the tasks in the underworld that require the power of the yang world are relatively difficult. If there are no immortal cultivators who have cultivated above the soul condensing stage, it is no different from courting death. But once it is completed Quests can also exchange for many unexpected benefits, and this psychic contract is just one of them." The soul-hunting horse face said mysteriously.

Shen Luo wanted to ask more questions, but Ma Mian had already waved his hand, signaling him not to ask more questions.

"Okay, I made an exception to give you this psychic contract this time, because I thought of your kindness in helping me eliminate evil spirits and stealing incense for me the day before yesterday. It is meaningless to talk to you about more things." Ma Mianqing He cleared his throat and said so.

Although Shen Luo was unwilling, but the other party had already talked about this point, it was naturally inconvenient to say more, so he asked Ma Mian how to use the psychic contract, and then left.

Time flies, and more than a month has passed.

Shen Luo has been cultivating diligently in the White Mansion, and tried the Huang Ting Jing and Chun Yang Jian Jue a few more times. After finding that there was still no improvement, he simply put it aside completely and concentrated on practicing the nameless skills, and his progress was quite fast.

Now, his cultivation has finally broken through to the fifth level of the Qi Refining Stage, and he has become more and more proficient in using the oblique moon steps.

In the past half a month, he also tried to draw the thunderbolt talisman on the yellow paper talisman. As a result, he used up all the materials he bought earlier and failed to draw a single one.

Obviously, the chances of this high-level talisman becoming a talisman in reality are even slimmer than in dreams.

However, Shen Luo had already prepared himself for this, although he felt distressed, he was not too disappointed.

Fortunately, in his spare time, he has drawn a lot of small thunder charms one after another, there are as many as fifty or sixty pieces, and his proficiency has been further improved.

This morning, Bai Xiaotian hurried back from the front yard, holding a wooden box in his hand, and knocked on the sunken door.

As soon as he entered the room, he put the wooden box on the table, picked up the teapot on the table, poured himself a glass of water, and said, "I sent someone to help you to deliver a letter to your home earlier, this is your father's entrustment." They brought it back."

Hearing this, Shen Luo hurriedly opened the wooden box, and saw a stack of silver bills and two ingots of yellow gold ingots inside.

He counted it, and found that the silver bills were more than 3000 taels, while the two gold ingots were both a hundred taels in weight, and there was an envelope pressed on the bottom of the gold ingots and silver bills.

Shen Luo opened it and saw that it was his father's handwriting inside, asking him to stay in Jianye with peace of mind, not to go back in a hurry, and not to miss home, just take care of himself.

Seeing the end of the letter paper, he found that there were some wrinkles on the paper surface, which seemed to be traces pressed by his fingers, and he knew in his heart that it was probably left by his father worrying about himself and holding the letter paper tightly.

"My son travels thousands of miles and my father is worried. There is nothing I can do..." Bai Xiaotian saw Shen Luo's expression was a little sad, got up and patted him on the shoulder, comforting him.

"How is the current situation in Chunhua County?" Shen Luo raised his head and asked.

"It's generally stable. The people in our family have been observing secretly for so long, but they haven't found any clues. It seems that those demons and ghosts have really retreated." Bai Xiaotian thought for a while and said.

"That's the case, I've been harassing the White Mansion for a long time, and it's time to go back." Shen Luo said as he put away the letter paper, with a smile on his face.

"You want to go back?" Bai Xiaotian said in surprise.

"That's right. But before I go back, I have one more thing I want to tell you." Shen Luo nodded.

"Could you mean to talk about the Pure Yang Book?" Bai Xiaotian was startled for a moment, then laughed.

"As expected, you know." Shen Luo also laughed.

"Shen Luo, this matter is a secret between you, Master Luo and even your uncle. In fact, you really don't need to tell me." Bai Xiaotian said with a slight sigh.

"This matter has been on my mind for a long time, and I can't complain. When I was pressed by Gu Hualing, I didn't admit it, but in fact, the Pure Yang Book is indeed on me. I also guessed that you already knew about it, but I am a little bit uncomfortable. I understand, why didn't you tell the elders in your family about this? Isn't this treasure book very important to your Bai family?" Shen Luo asked a little puzzled.

"Tell the family what to do? Is it possible to cooperate with them, promise high profits to lure you, or impose coercion and persecution? I can't do this kind of thing." Bai Xiaotian said with a smile.

"When the Master Uncle handed down the Pure Yang Book, he once made a rule that I must pass on the Spring and Autumn View, and I promised that I would never pass on the exercises and spells contained in the Pure Yang Book to Xiaomaoshan. People outside. You are an inner disciple of the Spring and Autumn Temple, not an outsider. Let me ask, are you willing to inherit the treasure and return to Chunhua County with me to rebuild the Spring and Autumn Temple?" Shen Luo said with a slightly condensed expression .

Chapter 0223 The Eighth Guest

"Shen Luo, to be honest, you can be honest and tell the truth. This fact in itself is enough to make me happy, but I can't promise you." Bai Xiaotian said with a flash of relief in his eyes.

"Why is that?" Shen Luo asked in surprise.

"Earlier, the ancestor asked me for a chance to worship Huasheng Temple, and I got a reply the day before yesterday. I will leave Jianye in a few days." Bai Xiaotian looked out the window and said slowly.

"Huasheng Temple?"

Hearing this name, Shen Luo felt that it seemed a little familiar, and after thinking about it for a while, he remembered it.

When he was in the Book Collection Pavilion on Fangcun Mountain, he had seen a record about Huasheng Temple, and there was quite a bit of approval and praise in his words.

"Have you heard of this place before?" Bai Xiaotian asked.

"I've heard of some, but it's the Great Cultivator of Immortals in the Tang Dynasty. With your cultivation aptitude, if you can enter this sect, you will surely accomplish a lot in the future." Shen Luo said sincerely happily.

"Once you enter the Shenghua Temple, you can no longer be regarded as a descendant of Xiaomao Mountain, so I can't agree to inherit the Chunyang Collection and rebuild the Spring and Autumn Temple." Bai Xiaotian looked away, looked at Shen Luo, and said in a deep voice .

"Since you can enter these mountain gates, you will be able to practice more advanced exercises, and it's nothing to miss a piece of the Pure Yang Book. That's fine, you and I can stay together for a few more days, when you leave Jianye When I was in the city, I also returned to Chunhua County together." Hearing this, Shen Luo nodded and said.

"In my opinion, it may not be a good thing for you to return to Chunhua County right now." Bai Xiaotian hesitated for a moment and said.

"Why did you say that?" Shen Luo was taken aback.

"Not to mention the fact that the people sent by my family failed to find the traces of the evil spirits, it may not necessarily mean that those evil spirits have completely retreated. Even if they have indeed retreated, who can guarantee that they will not make a comeback?" Bai Xiaotian asked rhetorically.

"You mean that once I return to Chunhua County rashly, it may cause the evil spirits to leave and return?" Shen Luo frowned.

"As the survivors of the Spring and Autumn View, you and I have to think a little bit more. With our Bai family sitting in Jianye City, they may not dare to take risks, but in Chunhua County, they don't have any scruples." Bai Xiaotian said solemnly Said.

When Shen Luo heard the words, he knew that Bai Xiaotian's words were true, so he frowned even more.

"To tell you the truth, it's not just Jianye City, but many places in the Tang Dynasty are unstable. The legend of the catastrophe is intensifying, and the signs of troubled times have begun to emerge. The reason why my family is eager to let me learn advanced Taoism is to let me grow up. When you get up, you may not have the idea of ​​preparing for this matter. Shen Luo, the most important thing for you right now is not to return to your hometown, but to hurry up and practice. Only when you really have the power to protect yourself, can you be safe and secure no matter where you are. Don't be afraid of evil spirits." Bai Xiaotian reached out and patted Shen Luo's arrow, and continued.

"You're right. It's just that you have left Jianye, so I can't stay at your house, can I?" Shen Luo sighed, he knew better than anyone else what the world would look like after the catastrophe scene?

"You don't have to worry about this matter. Before leaving home, I will persuade my father to let you temporarily serve as guest minister in the clan. At that time, you can not only continue to practice in the White Mansion, but you should also be able to get the fairy jade reward as usual." Bai Xiaotian waved his hand and said.

"I'm afraid this is inappropriate. I'm only in the middle stage of Qi refining, how can I be qualified to be a guest minister?" Shen Luo said immediately.

"Well... Most of our Bai family's guest qings are monks in the late stage of Qi refining, and there are not none in the middle stage of Qi refining, so there is nothing wrong with it." Bai Xiaotian said.

"Bai Xiaotian, in fact, I've always been curious. As the number one exorcist family in Jianye, how strong is your Bai family? Compared with Chunqiu Guan, how much stronger is it?" Shen Luo asked suddenly.

"Compared to the Spring and Autumn View, it is naturally better. Except for the family ancestor who is a monk at the soul-condensing stage, my father and the third grandfather are monks at the late stage of bigu and the middle stage of bigu respectively. In addition, there are five people you saw in the secret room at the bottom of the lake. Grandma is also a mid-Bigu cultivator." Bai Xiaotian said.

"One condense the soul, three bigu, the Bai family really has extraordinary background." Hearing this, Shen Luo sighed inwardly.

"Among the guests, there is also a monk at the early stage of Bigu, and the other six are monks in the Qi refining period, from the sixth level of Qi refining to the ninth level of Qi refining. If you join in, you will be the eighth guest of our Bai family." How about it, do you want to try it?" Bai Xiaotian said.

"You have considered so thoughtfully for me. If I don't agree again, I will really be a little ignorant." Shen Luo could hear the meaning of Bai Xiaotian's words, and nodded in agreement.

"Reviving the Spring and Autumn View is not a trivial matter. What needs to be spent is not only money, but also strong strength to rely on. The burden on your shoulders is not light." Seeing his promise, Bai Xiaotian said with a smile on his face.

"At first I was thinking of pulling you together, but the two monks carried water to eat, but in the end I was the one who resisted everything alone." Shen Luo relaxed and teased.

"Farewell in the future, I don't know when we will see you again! Let's go, I'll buy you a drink, if you don't get drunk today, you won't come home!" Bai Xiaotian waved his hand, pulling Shen Luo out without any explanation.

……

A few days later, Bai Xiaotian left Jianye City under the escort of an elder of the family.

Immediately, Shen Luo was invited to the study in the backyard by the Baihe City police.

"I've met senior." Shen Luo saluted after entering the room.

"Hehe, you and Bai Xiaotian are close friends, just call me Uncle, come sit down and talk." Baihecheng put down the book in his hand and smiled gently.

Shen Luo smiled when he heard the words, but didn't change his words immediately, and sat opposite him respectfully.

"I called you here today because I want to discuss something with you." Baihecheng continued.

"Senior, just follow orders." Shen Luo said.

"The Bai family has been continuously expanding its strength in recent years, and has absorbed many foreign monks to become guest ministers. I wonder if you would like to join the Bai family and become a guest minister?" Baihecheng asked bluntly.

"Being able to become a guest minister of the Bai family is naturally an excellent thing, but the junior's cultivation base is really not high, so I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to do it." Shen Luo replied immediately.

"It doesn't matter. The reason why I invited you to become the guest of the Bai family is not because I value your current cultivation, but because I think you have a bright future. Both Xiao Yun and the third elder admire you quite a lot, and I also think that your character Not bad, so I intend to accept you as a guest." Bai Hecheng said with a smile.

"It's the junior's honor to be appreciated by the seniors. I would like to join the Bai family as a guest minister and serve the Bai family." Shen Luo immediately stood up and said with clasped fists.

"Okay, okay, sit down and talk." Baihecheng quickly asked Shen Luo to sit down.

"Thank you Patriarch." Shen Luo responded and sat down.

When Baihecheng heard the change in his title, the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more obvious.

"Since you are already a guest at home, I have to tell you some things in advance. You are not in a high level now, so your salary cannot be equal to that of other guests. You can receive one immortal jade every three months. Correspondingly, the clan I will arrange some simple tasks for you to exorcise ghosts and subdue demons, and after completing the tasks, there will be corresponding rewards." Baihecheng said.

Chapter 0224 Immortal Jade

"The junior understands." Shen Luo replied respectfully without changing his expression.

"Very good, tomorrow someone will give you the guest token, together with nearly three months' salary." Baihecheng nodded approvingly and said.

"Patriarch, when will this junior be able to carry out the task?" Shen Luo asked.

"Don't worry, the clan has made arrangements, and you will be notified." Baihecheng waved his hand and said.

After Shen Luo thanked him again, he took his leave and left.

After he left, a person suddenly walked out from the inner room of the study, it was the third elder Bai Jiangfeng.

"Patriarch, according to the rules, only monks who have reached the seventh level of the Qi Refining Stage can receive one immortal jade every three months. As for Shen Luo, who lacks both cultivation and qualifications, it is an exception for him to be the guest minister. , why do you still have Xu Yixianyu as your salary?" Bai Jiangfeng asked suspiciously.

"It doesn't matter, the Bai Family of Xianyu can still provide this, just take it as a chance for this young man. Besides, this is the only requirement for Xiaotian to go to Huasheng Temple." Baihecheng said with a smile.

"The patriarch's intentions are good, and I agree, but I'm afraid that the clan's children and other guests will not be convinced, and they will make trouble for him." Bai Jiangfeng shook his head and said.

"If you can't deal with this little trouble, then my Bai family's Xianyu and Xiaotian's good intentions are really wasted. At that time, there will be a way for him to leave the Bai family voluntarily." Bai He Cheng smiled and said indifferently.

The next day, the news that Shen Luo became a guest of the Bai family quickly spread throughout the entire White House.

When Shen Luo got the guest token and an immortal jade, he also moved out of Bai Xiaotian's small courtyard and moved into an independent small courtyard arranged by the Bai family.

The small courtyard is located in a dense forest near the lake in the mansion. The location is more remote and farther from the gate of the front yard, but it is much closer to the secret room at the bottom of the lake.

However, after Shen Luo completely became a guest minister, when he went to the secret room at the bottom of the lake, he was stopped by the old woman sitting in it and told him that he had no qualifications to practice here. Credit can only be used with the consent of the owner.

Although Shen Luo was a little depressed, he didn't have much to say on the surface. After all, he was able to enter the secret room to practice before. Accept a series of changes corresponding to this.

After figuring this out, Shen Luo lived in the small courtyard with peace of mind and continued to practice.

Time flies, and more than half a month has passed.

There was a continuous rain in Jianye City, the temperature dropped sharply, and the autumn atmosphere in the city became more and more intense.

On this day, Shen Luo got up early in the morning, but instead of meditating as usual, he took out the stone box that he carefully kept.

After he opened the stone box, he took out a gold ingot and a few silver notes from it, and put them aside.

Then, he stretched out two fingers carefully, and slowly pulled out a round jade stone the size of a copper coin. Its color was verdant, and a stream of pure spiritual energy could be seen inside, but it was the legendary fairy coin. "Xianyu" was also the first guest salary he received.

According to the records in ancient books, this fairy jade itself is a rather rare spiritual material, born from the aura of heaven and earth, and transformed by the veins of the earth, thus forming some extremely secret underground jade veins.

After being mined by the world, the shape is formulated according to scientific rituals, and refined by secret methods, so that the aura contained in it can be condensed and not dispersed, and then the "immortal money" widely circulated among immortal practitioners is formed.

Shen Luo held the fairy jade in his hands and looked at it carefully, his eyes full of love.

Previously, he used yellow talisman paper to draw thunderbolt talisman, and used up all the talisman ink, but failed to get one. He planned to go to Lubao Hall today, use this immortal jade to buy ten green frost talisman papers, and try again.

After putting away the fairy jade, he was about to close the stone box when he caught a glimpse of something reflecting metallic luster in a corner of the box from the corner of his eye, and then he pushed aside all the silver notes and unnamed heavenly books that were pressed on it, and immediately A piece of gold leaf was exposed.

Shen Luo took it out, looked it over carefully, saw the runes engraved on it, and then suddenly remembered that it was from a metal bag full of bones when he salvaged the unknown book on the Luanshui River. Take it down.

"I almost forgot that there is such a thing. I have never known what it is. Shopkeeper Ma has handled a lot of spiritual materials. He must have a wide range of vision. Maybe he can know what it is?" Shen Luo muttered to himself.

After finishing speaking, he packed up the stone box, left Baifu, and went straight to Lubaotang.

When Shen Luo rushed to Lubaotang, he saw two people standing outside the store from a distance, their faces were familiar, they were the two followers who followed Bai Xiaoyun last time.

He frowned, faintly aware of something, and hurried over.

But before he reached the door, the two servants greeted him proactively and stopped him with their hands.

"Elder Shen, the Second Young Master is working inside, why don't you come back at another time?" The two of them naturally recognized Shen Luo's face and knew his identity, so they didn't dare to be too rash.

"It's okay, I'm just here to buy something." Shen Luo glanced at the door of the store and said.

"Don't make it difficult for us two." A subordinate glanced at the badge of guest hanging on his waist, wondering why.

"Don't worry, I'm really just here to buy something, and I won't hinder the second young master." Shen Luo smiled and said casually.

The two glanced at each other, still a little hesitant.

Shen Luo's face darkened, and with a flash of his figure, he passed through the gap between the two of them, and at the same time waved one hand quickly.

"You..." The faces of the two men were startled, but before they could speak, their bodies went limp, and they collapsed on the ground, passing out.

As soon as Shen Luo entered the door, he heard a voice from inside, which was rough, not like Bai Xiaoyun's.
