A devil's self-redemption

Hearing Baozi's cry, Luo Lai came back to his senses and smiled apologetically: "It's nothing. I was distracted by my thoughts. Baozi, let me ask you, has anyone come to repair or clean up this formation square since it was abandoned?"

Baozi thought for a moment and replied: "Yes, I heard from people who survived nearby that the city lord organized people to come here to repair the formation as soon as he returned. However, there was no formation master in the city at that time, and many of the damaged places were simply destroyed. It cannot be repaired, and it will take a long time. It is better to just buy a few formations and build a new one, so this place is abandoned!"

Luo Lai realized for a moment that it turned out that there was a lack of formation masters, wasn't he the one, and he was very rich in time.

So he decided to put the repair of the magic circle on the agenda as soon as possible, starting tonight. However, he had to buy some materials before, especially the materials for making the array. He had just discovered that three arrays were broken and needed to be repaired. replace.

"Baozi, please take me to the space below. I want to buy some materials!" He has discovered that although there are many types of materials above, they are all low-level materials. There are several types of materials needed to make an array. High-end materials are not sold above, so you can only check to see if they are available on the black market.

Baozi looked embarrassed: "Brother Luo, the black market is closed now and only opens at night!"

"Okay then!" Luo Lai had no choice but to buy some low-level materials from a nearby stall. However, because the quantity was large and he spent a lot of money, when he left the Lichen Sect, there were a lot of things in the storage bag given by Patriarch Su. In the Shaoling realm, the initial level is about 100,000 yuan, the intermediate level is 1,000 yuan, and even the advanced level is 20 yuan. This is a lot of wealth, but compared with the income he made from selling the formation talismans to the Lichen Sect. A piece of cake.

A piece of high-level spiritual crystal can be exchanged for 100 yuan for mid-level and 10,000 yuan for low-level. However, if you want to exchange for high-level spiritual crystal, you will usually pay a premium, because high-level spiritual crystal is not just a currency, but also a rare weapon refining material. If you hold a high-grade spiritual crystal, you will get twice the result with half the effort.

At this time, Baozi came to him and reminded him in a low voice: "Brother Luo, you spend too much."

Luo Lai was stunned: "What do you mean?"

Baozi looked around and continued to say in a small voice: "Don't reveal your wealth!"

Luo Lai understood immediately! Then he looked around, and indeed some people looked at him with a bit of amusement, while the stall owners who were familiar with Baozi had already winked at Baozi and told Baozi to leave quickly.

Baozi hesitated again and again and stood beside Luo Lai, walking all the way towards his home.

Luo Lai had already felt a few figures falling behind them, but he didn't care. In his perception, the best among them was a monk in the Soaring Cloud Realm. It was okay to bully a novice like Baozi. If anyone thinks he is easy to bully, let someone from the innocent realm try it.

On his way back to the big house, he saw a fruit seller on the roadside. The juicy fruits made him salivate.

So I knelt down and picked up a few. After paying, I saw a stall selling snacks on the side. There were many varieties and the aroma was fragrant, so I bought some more.

After a while, Luo Lai couldn't hold the food in his hand anymore, so he simply let Baozi hold it until both of them couldn't hold it anymore.

After leaving the abandoned square, the noisy sounds calmed down again. As soon as they turned a corner, they found five people standing there in the middle of the road, looking at the two people with unkind eyes.

"Tao...Brother Tao, what a coincidence, you are here too, hahaha!" Baozi took two quick steps and came to the leader of the strong man, and complimented him not very skillfully.

The strong man was very tall and handsome, but he looked more sinister when he had a long scar on his forehead.

The strong man known as Brother Tao smiled and patted the young man on the shoulder, and said in a seemingly friendly manner: "Baozi, stay away from here. Just pretend that we haven't met you today. Do you think so?"

Baozi Chicken nodded like he was pecking rice: "Okay, okay, Brother Tao, you have fun, we are leaving now, we are leaving now!"

Brother Tao put away the smile on his face, squinted his eyes and said, "Baozi, didn't you hear what I said clearly? It's you, not you!"

"But...but..."

Before Baozi could finish his words, the strong man directly pulled Baozi aside: "If it weren't for Chen Xiong's sake, I would have skinned you already. Now Chen Xiong can't come back to the Lord of the City. Be careful tonight." Your big house was burned down..."

Baozi was pushed hard by him a few times, and his feet were unsteady. He was about to fall, but he was held firmly by the hand stretched out from behind.

Baozi turned around and saw Luo Lai with a smile on his face. The food that Luo Lai had just carried in his hand had been placed on a relatively clean boulder.

Luo Lai held Baozi steady, feeling a little annoyed. He knew that these people were coming straight at him. They were really lawless.

"What are these good guys trying to do? Let's figure it out!"

The strong man known as Brother Tao looked up to the sky and laughed: "Hahaha! It seems that you are quite a sensible person. You borrowed a little money to spend today, and you will be rich tomorrow..."

"I won't borrow it." Luo Lai interrupted him before he finished speaking.

The smiling man's expression froze, and then he revealed a cruel smile, "Haha, then don't blame me..."

Luo Lai interrupted again: "Then don't blame me for being merciless!" As he spoke, he had disappeared from the spot. When he reappeared, he was already in front of the strong man. Without any unnecessary movement, he punched out , the strong man was hammered out without even a chance to react.

Luo Lai punched and then stopped punching. He watched the strong man fall to the ground, then staggered to his feet, with a large swell on his face.

"Sneak attack? Come on, kill him!" The strong man gave the order, and the four younger brothers rushed at Chao Luo with ferocious looks.

Bang bang bang bang, after four loud noises, four more men fell to the ground!

Brother Tao, who was still shouting, was like a duck whose throat was suddenly stuck, and his voice suddenly stopped.

Luo Lai walked toward him step by step. If he didn't take a step forward, the strong man would take a step back. After five or six consecutive steps, Luo Lai got tired of pulling with him and appeared directly in front of him, grabbing him by the collar. He asked calmly: "Does it hurt?"

"It hurts...no, it doesn't hurt!"

"Well, that's good. Since it doesn't hurt, don't bother me again, otherwise I won't give you a second chance, okay!" Luo Lai patted Brother Tao's cheek and said gently.

Brother Tao was already frightened. He used to walk sideways in this area, but he didn't expect that the iron plate was mentioned today. He didn't hear what Luo Lai said clearly and just nodded: "Okay, okay. I heard you clearly."

Luo Lai was very satisfied with his answer: "Let's go, there are those four, don't pretend to be fainted, I know how much anger I use, get out of here." Brother Tao heard Luo Lai's words and was about to run out. , walked up to the four people who were still lying on the ground, and kicked one of them before kicking them up. They walked away in confusion, and Baozi was stunned for a while.

"Stop hanging around, grab all the food and go home!"

Baozi quickly ran to the pile of food, picked up all the food with difficulty, and followed Luo Lai towards the big house!

After returning to Luo Lai's house and putting down everything, Baozi said with some anxiety: "Brother Luo, you were impulsive today. That Zhao Tao is nothing, and his cultivation level is only in the Tengyun realm, but he has an uncle. He is a partial general of the city defense army. Zhao Tao's father died to save his uncle, so his uncle is usually very arrogant and indulgent to him. The area around this abandoned square is where Zhao Tao does whatever he wants. His uncle's cultivation is in the Shentai realm. If Zhao Tao is beaten today, he will definitely go to his uncle to complain. Although the city defense troops are currently preparing for war and cannot leave their posts without authorization, once the siege incident is over, his uncle will definitely bring people to take revenge. But now the city The doors are closed and the teleporter cannot be used. If you can't get out, you will be in trouble. Although the uncle is also in the Shentai realm, he is no match for his uncle. What should I do?"

As he spoke, Baozi actually started walking around the table, beating his head as he walked, but still couldn't think of any solution.

Luo Lai looked at Baozi like an ant on a hot pot. He was a little funny, but he was also very touched. He was so caring after meeting by chance. He was a good boy.

"Okay, okay, don't turn around. I'm dizzy because I'm turning around. Don't worry about Zhao Tao's uncle. If I can beat Zhao Tao, I can beat his uncle. I'll beat the younger one." , isn't this a routine operation?" Luo Lai said comfortingly.

Baozi glared: "Brother Luo...you...can you beat Zhao Tao's uncle?"

"Haha! I can fight several." Luo Lai said nonchalantly. In fact, he was not bragging. Although he was only in the Miaomen realm, he had many ways to stop him. With the immobilization talisman, he could definitely immobilize the monks in the Shentai realm. It's not too easy to kill a Shentai-level monk who has no ability to resist in a few breaths!

What's more, he also has the Donghuang Bell and the Earth Escape Technique. Any one of them can kill Uncle Zhao Tao.

Seeing Luo Lai acting like an old god, Zhao Tao and his uncle didn't take him seriously at all, which made Baozi feel a little relieved.

"Huh, that's good!"

Luo Lai chuckled and said, "Take these foods and take me to see your sister!"

When Baozi, who was originally relieved, heard this, his expression changed and he looked at Luo Lai warily, his eyes were like seeing a big bad wolf with an evil smile.

Luo Lai was so angry and funny when he saw him that he hit Baozi on the head with a chestnut: "At a young age, he is very vigilant. Stop thinking nonsense and take me to see your sister and see what he is like. What disease do you have?"

Baozi was doubtful, but for the sake of his sick sister, he gritted his teeth and led Luo Lai to the nearby yard.

Both of them were carrying food in their hands. Luo Lai originally thought that Baozi's sister lived nearby, but he didn't expect that after walking through the yard next to him, he walked through two more yards and came to a small yard on the far left side of the big house. This courtyard is obviously different from other courtyards.

The current season is at the end of autumn. Although the weather is a bit cold, when Luo Lai walked into this small courtyard, he felt the coldness of nine deep winters. The kind of chill that penetrated to his bones made him feel a little bit cold after he had been reborn nine times. Uncomfortable, let alone a bun that is still a novice.

But he was obviously prepared. After a few fierce cold wars, he took off an animal fur from behind the door and put it on his body. He reached out and handed another one to Luo Lai, but he refused!

"Brother! Is that you?" A clear and sweet voice sounded like a lark!

Hearing this voice, Baozi's somewhat sad face immediately burst into a bright smile: "Xiaoyue, it's me!"

As he responded, he walked towards the room in the yard. When he opened the door of the room, Luo Lai clearly felt that the temperature was a little lower.

"Xiaoyue, I'm here to see you, do you think I have brought anything?" The sound of Baozi offering treasures sounded in the house.

"Yeah! Osmanthus cake and chestnut cake, so good." Xiaoyue's voice sounded in surprise, and then she asked a little cautiously: "This must have cost a lot of money. There are no osmanthus in this season, so the osmanthus cake must be very good." expensive!"

Baozi smiled innocently: "I didn't buy it, it was Brother Luo who bought it for me. Hey, Brother Luo, come in quickly!" Baozi's figure appeared at the door and greeted Luo Lai to come into the house.

Luo Lai saw Baozi saying hello and slowly walked into the room.

Luo Lai frowned the first time he entered the room. He saw three or four fire pots lit in the room, and some crystal stones containing rich fire-attribute aura were inlaid on the walls. Even with these, the room was still cold. Like an ice cellar.

"Xiaoyue, let me introduce to you. This is Brother Luo, our new tenant. He is a very nice person. I heard that you were sick, so I came here to visit." Baozi pointed at Luo Lai and said to the little girl next to him. .

Luo Lai was stunned when he saw this little girl named Xiaoyue, she was very beautiful.

This was his first impression. His long black hair was simply pulled into a bun, and his black hair hung down to his waist.

The two big eyes on the thin face are full of energy, the willow eyebrows are like crescent moons, and the bloodless lips give people the feeling of being pitiful. The kind of temperament that makes people want to hold it in the palm of their hands is really not something he can resist. He couldn't think of any adjectives to use to describe the little girl in front of him. Although she was only ten years old, her unique temperament was really touching.

There was always a hint of haze lingering on his slightly haggard face, and a layer of coldness that was so strong that it couldn't be dissolved shrouded it. This coldness was not the same as the coldness of Senior Sister Bing that could repel people thousands of miles away. He is cold from his bones.

"Brother Luo, this is my sister Bao Xinyue. You can just call her Xiaoyue. Xiaoyue, call someone." After saying that, he came from Luo and pursed his lips.

Bao Xinyue obediently saluted: "Brother Luo!"

Luo Lai also cupped his fists and returned the greeting: "Hello, sister Xiaoyue, I heard from Baozi that you have been in poor health since you were a child. I have some experience in medical skills, so I volunteered to come and check it out. It would be best if there is a way, but there is no way. Do not be discouraged!"

Bao Xinyue lowered her head and whispered, "Thank you, Brother Luo!"

Luo Lai didn't say anything more. He took Bao Xinyue's wrist, activated his spiritual power, and began to explore.
