Becoming a Demon [Comprehensive]

Chapter 40 Begonia Chunyan

The reason why Shen Luo wanted to go to Hanshan Temple first is to mention an anecdote she heard from the family members of Suzhou officials a few days ago.

A lady mentioned that a monk in Hanshan Temple died of illness without reason last month, and there was nothing to say, but the night before the cremation, the monk died and came back to life.

Shen Luo was interested at the time when he heard it, and kept this matter in his heart since then.She really wanted to know how this dead person came back to life.

Now that the underworld is operating tightly, let alone resurrecting from the dead, it is difficult to recruit other people's souls from the underworld.

The emperor looked at her and wanted to laugh, because he found that she was more favored by temples and Taoism than other places.

Don't other little ladies prefer to go shopping and listen to books in teahouses?

However, he was really bored with her these few days, so as soon as Shen Luo proposed, the emperor readily agreed.

They were in casual clothes when they went out, and there were not many people with them on the surface, but there were quite a few people who turned into tourists secretly, always keeping the emperor and Shen Luo out of the crowd.

The carriage drove to Hanshan Temple, and after Shen Luo got off the car, he could still see the busy ferry in the distance and a large number of ships parked not far from the ferry.

"When will we leave Suzhou?" Shen Luo asked the emperor suddenly, looking at the dragon boats guarded by elite soldiers.

"Why? Don't you want to stay in Suzhou so soon?"

Shen Luo shook his head, "That's not true, but it's a little inconvenient here. It's a bad feeling to be watched closely for every move you make."

She doesn't like this kind of feeling, this kind of moment is shrouded in the eyes of others, she is not as comfortable as when she was in Yangzhou, she can go out casually when the emperor is busy with herself.

"Wait a little longer, the matter here in Suzhou is over, and we can set off to return to Beijing."

He Xu, who was following behind, saw the emperor speak so softly, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes. He didn't lose his temper a few days ago, so it's okay so soon?

"The capital?" Shen Luo thought of going to the capital, and there was anticipation in her eyes immediately. The emperor's dragon spirit was very strong, which showed that the country's fortune was also very strong. She really wanted to see the political center of a country and feel the country. Strong national fortune.

If it is possible, she would like to use the fortune of the country to raise the dragon balls, and the dragon balls can also feed luck to the fate of the country, which is a win-win way.

Few people know that the dragon balls used as decorations can bless the fortune of the country.

Of course, first of all, someone has to get the dragon ball, and secondly, the dragon ball must be offered to the dragon vein of the dynasty.

Although Shen Luo didn't know who put the dragon ball she got into the Buddha statue of Daming Temple, she also knew that it was her chance, otherwise God would not have sent the treasure to her.

However, the premise of these prerequisites is that Shen Luo must keep his identity from leaking, otherwise he will be the first to turn against the water just by Qionghua's visualization.

No one wants to see a demon holding a baby.

Seeing that she hadn't spoken for a long time, the emperor knew that her god had gone somewhere.

The emperor held her hand directly and pulled her forward.

He Xu behind him stared even wider, Your Majesty, pay attention to the influence, let go of that little lady in public!

As soon as she entered Hanshan Temple, Shen Luo found a wave of pure aura rushing towards her face, which instantly replenished the aura she had lost during this time, and even the chopping in her body trembled with joy.

There was surprise in Shen Luo's eyes, "How can there be so much aura in this kind of place?" She thought to herself.

Generally speaking, for temples like Hanshan Temple built in the bustling secular world, because of the dense crowd, the air is turbid, even if there is spiritual energy, it cannot survive.Therefore, more Taoist masters like to drill into the deep mountains and marshes. The farther away from the secular world, the easier it is to feel the aura, and cultivation is the most important thing for these people.

Now that Hanshan Temple suddenly gathered such a huge spiritual energy, Shen Luo inevitably felt that this was very abnormal.

But the emperor had other feelings. He only felt that the closer he was to Hanshan Temple, the fresher the air, and he seemed to be isolated from the hot sun.

After entering Hanshan Temple, it is natural that someone guarded the temple in advance, and the original pilgrims were driven away. They only knew that there was a nobleman in the temple, but they did not expect it to be the emperor.

However, the abbot of Hanshan Temple knew about it and waited in front of the temple early.

When the abbot saw Shen Luo, doubts were evident in his eyes, and soon he turned his attention to the emperor again.

He chanted a Buddha's name, "Amitabha, welcome to Your Majesty."

The emperor let go of Shen Luo's hand, and gave him a little support, "Master, please get up."

As he spoke and looked at the empty temple, he said, "Forget it, I'd better invite the pilgrims back. This kind of behavior of clearing the place is not my intention. I am just an ordinary tourist." He turned to He Xu and said, "Hurry up and bring the pilgrims back." The people outside have been withdrawn, so don't disturb the purity of Buddhism."

"Your Majesty..." He Xu shouted nervously, as if he wanted the emperor to take back his order.

The abbot walked towards the temple facing the emperor, persuading him as he walked: "Your Majesty's white dragon fish clothes, if there is any carelessness, it will be the sin of my temple. The poor monk also agrees to drive away the pilgrims temporarily."

The emperor immediately felt that it was boring. Even monks in this world have learned to flatter.Then he smiled and didn't force himself anymore, and then looked at Shen Luo, "Aren't you interested in Hanshan Temple? Why don't you talk now?"

The abbot looked at Shen Luo again, and felt that she had a spiritual light on her head, and she should be a practitioner, but he didn't know if His Majesty knew it.

Shen Luo frowned, because she found that the source of the aura here did not come from Hanshan Temple, but from another place. It was just that someone used the mother-child chain formation to move the aura from other places.

Judging by the density of this aura, it seems that it has only been moved for a month, otherwise, the temple would have already been full of geniuses and treasures.

Hearing the emperor's words, she turned around and replied: "Returning to Your Majesty, I heard that a monk here has been resurrected from the dead, so I came here to take a look." She said it directly.

The emperor was stunned for a moment, and then asked the abbot, "Is there such a thing?" Obviously, he didn't know that this kind of thing happened in Hanshan Temple.

Of course, as the king of a country, no one said these things in front of him.

The abbot did not expect that Shen Luo would tell this matter as soon as he opened his mouth.

To tell the truth, this matter is not a secret in the temple, so he said to the emperor: "There is such a thing, the person involved is my junior disciple. He is a direct disciple of the abbot, but it is not as bizarre as the outside world said. Last month, my junior brother suffered from a strange disease. He fell into a coma from time to time. When he was in a coma, his breathing was weak, but his face was ruddy. Later, the coma became longer and longer. The last time he was in a coma for three days, his breathing stopped immediately. His face also became as pale as a dead person, and his heart stopped beating. The temple planned to be cremated and buried according to the normal method. Unexpectedly, the night before the cremation, the junior brother woke up suddenly. No one can explain the reason. Since then, his drowsiness has healed, and his body is getting healthier."

Shen Luo took the emperor's arm, "Your Majesty, let's invite this Master of Precepts to come and meet you."

The emperor naturally agreed.

Then he looked at the abbot, and the abbot quickly sent someone to call Jie Yan, and he continued to lead the emperor to the meditation room.

After entering the meditation room and serving tea, the abbot and the emperor sat cross-legged on the futon, and the two chatted about Buddhist scriptures.

Shen Luo didn't expect that His Majesty the Emperor, who is so busy every day, is also familiar with all kinds of Buddhist scriptures, chatted with the abbot very well, and from time to time he could ask the abbot for a sentence in a certain Buddhism.

Shen Luo was not very interested after listening for a while, she turned her out of the window, and looked into the yard through the window.

I happened to see two monks walking into the courtyard, accepted the guard's question and were let go.One was the monk the abbot had just sent to call for someone, and the other was a fat monk who didn't look like a monk.

The abbot obviously also saw this scene, and said with a smile, "This is my Junior Brother Jing Yan."

As he spoke, he saw that the precept had been directed towards the Zen room.

"Brother." Ji Yan said hello to the residence as soon as he entered the meditation room.

The abbot said kindly to him: "This is Lu Langjun, he is very interested in your experience, you tell them to listen to it."

The abbot didn't reveal the emperor's identity, but referred to him as Mr. Lu. However, after seeing such a strict inspection, Jie Yan had a guess about the identity of Mr. Lu.

Lu is the surname of the country, and now His Majesty is on a tour to Suzhou in the south, and can let people directly martial law Hanshan Temple, the true identity of this Lu Langjun can be seen at a glance.

However, if the emperor wanted to play the trick of private visits in microservices, the people below naturally had to cooperate, even the monks were no exception.

As soon as the emperor saw the person coming, he said to Shen Luo: "If you want to know anything, just ask!" He handed over the initiative to Shen Luo.

And only at this time did he see Shen Luozai's warning words, and after seeing her face clearly, he couldn't help blurting out, "This lady has a good face."

Shen Luo showed a funny expression, "This master can still read physiognomy?" Don't you know that she is the ancestor of physiognomy!

The emperor also asked curiously, "I don't know what's so good about this good face?"

The abbot said embarrassingly at the side: "Junior Brother Jie Yan, this lady is also a fellow..." So don't play big swords in front of Guan Gong.

Unexpectedly, Jie Yan said to the emperor very frankly: "This lady's fate is really precious, but I am sorry that the poor monk is too shallow, so I can't see the origin of this lady."

Shen Luo grinned at the side. The monk looked at her temper and never expected to play tricks. Her face is not something that ordinary people can see. If she looks at her forcibly, she will be backlashed. The monk clearly saw this and did not continue. , Instead, he said a panacea.

However, this sentence was obviously a joy for the Emperor Bo. Being in the royal family is expensive, and the Emperor also knew that this was the monk flattering him.

"Great monk, you haven't said why you came back from the dead?" Shen Luo asked bluntly.

The precepts said a Buddhist saying, "Amitabha, in fact, the poor monk himself didn't know it, so he could only tell the female benefactor, the experience of the poor monk in those few days."

Then he sat down cross-legged and said: "The poor monk remembers that he has been in a black passage for a few days. He didn't know hunger, thirst, time, and confusion. He kept walking, and kept walking until one day there was a little light in front of him. Walk in the light, and when you come out of the light, you will find that you have returned to the human world."

Shen Luo was a little disappointed, there was no possibility that this experience could be used as a reference.Then she looked at the emperor. The emperor obviously knew her disappointment. After sitting for a long time, the emperor took her away.

The abbot and the precepts have been sent outside the temple.

After the people left, the abbot asked the precept, "Didn't you find anything?"

Jie Yan shook his head, "This lady really doesn't look like someone with high mana, she doesn't seem to be aware of the spiritual power problem in the temple."

"Don't slack off." The abbot confessed, "If you don't leave Suzhou, you must keep your mouth shut about that secret place."

The precepts tightened his expression, and he answered cautiously.

The emperor pulled Shen Luo towards Fengqiao, and asked her, "Are you disappointed?"

Shen Luo gave him a blank look, "There's nothing to be disappointed about, it's not that I didn't see that the two monks were dishonest and used words to deceive me."

"Oh?" the emperor wondered, "Since you know, why didn't you get angry?" As far as he knew, she was not a good-natured person, otherwise she wouldn't have made a big fuss in Qionghua Temple in Yangzhou.

But Shen Luo said: "Since they are unwilling to tell, even if they are forced to ask, they won't be able to find out anything, and this matter is unreasonable for us, and it is right for others to keep it a secret." Then she said: "However, if you don't say it, it's okay It doesn't matter, I will find out sooner or later." Since God let her bump into this matter, she must figure it out.

At least figure out where that spirit vein comes from.

The two went up to Fengqiao together, and the song "Night Mooring at Fengqiao" made this bridge famous all over the world.

To this day, Fengqiao is still bustling with boats passing under the bridge, pedestrians walking on both sides of the bridge, and the sound of hawking can be heard.

The emperor and Shen Luo walked on the bridge, and there were many people passing by on the bridge. When they crossed the bridge, they met an old man selling candied haws. The old man was holding a girl about seven or eight years old.

And it was this little girl who caught Shen Luo's attention. This girl's eyes were dull, and saliva flowed from her mouth. The old man wiped the girl with a cloth towel from time to time.

Shen Luo gave the emperor a look, and then the two sat down at a wonton stall by the bridge, ordered two bowls of wontons casually, and then Shen Luo asked He Xu to invite the old man over.

As soon as the old man came over, he bowed to the two of them tremblingly, "I have seen the two nobles, so I don't know what is the purpose of calling the little old man over?"

The little girl beside him stared at the wontons on the table, drooling.

Shen Luo smiled, then pushed the bowl over, "Here, I'll eat it for you."

"This, this is not acceptable..." The old man hastily declined.

"It's okay, it's not worth a few dollars." Anyway, it was originally ordered for the two of them.

Shen Luoqi asked the two of them to sit down, and then asked, "This old man, I don't know if this is you..."

"This is my granddaughter." The old man stroked the little girl's hair and sighed.

Shen Luo said again, "Can you tell us about the situation?"

The emperor listened to the whole process without speaking, he probably saw that Shen Luo must have found something wrong, otherwise he would not have stopped people at will.

In fact, as soon as Shen Luo saw the girl, she realized that the girl had lost her soul, which was a very strange phenomenon.

Humans have three souls and seven souls, of which the three souls are the heavenly soul, the earthly soul, and the human soul, and the seven souls are joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, evil, and desire.

Among them, after a person dies, the heavenly soul returns to the heavenly road, the earthly soul returns to the underworld, the human soul wanders in the cemetery, and the seven souls dissipate with the body, until the earthly soul reincarnates, the three souls reunite, and the seven souls regenerate, and then they are reincarnated as human beings.

It is said that the human soul is lost, this girl should be unconscious and lethargic, why can she still walk in the world?There is also the unconsciousness of the human soul, and the earth soul is the consciousness in charge of a person. Otherwise, the earth soul would not go to the underworld to be judged, and the human soul would be lost. Such a stupid situation would not happen.

This kind of unexpected behavior really made Shen Luo curious, but when Shen Luo carefully observed the girl's spirit again, she realized that she had made a mistake in her analysis just now.

To be precise, it is only right.

After the girl's human soul was lost, the earth soul also left on her own initiative. Now, what supports the girl's actions is a mysterious golden light in her soul.

It is this golden light that supports the girl's physical body to move, so that the girl's soul will not leave the body for too long, making it difficult to return to the sun in the future.

It was this golden light that occupied the place of the earth soul, so she mistakenly thought that the earth soul was still there.

This method is too bizarre, as far as Shen Luo knows, no one in this world can use this method, at least not Shen Luo himself.

The old man sighed and narrated while feeding his granddaughter wontons.

Then everyone heard an incredible story.

The old man lives by the Taihu Lake and earns his living by picking tea on weekdays. When he is not picking tea, he comes to the city to make a living.

What he said happened two months ago. It was a rainy day. According to the old man, he clearly remembered that the rain was unusual.

There is very little torrential rain in spring, but the morning was still sunny that day, and it was pouring rain in the afternoon. The entire sky over Taihu Lake was completely shrouded in thunder and lightning, and the thunder and lightning were very scary.

The old man is the only one with his granddaughter in his family. His son and daughter-in-law are all picking tea in Dongdongting Mountain, where they eat and live.

Fortunately, although the granddaughter is young, she can wash and cook quickly, and the grandpa and grandson can manage to live at home.

When the old man noticed the movement over Taihu Lake, he was a little worried about his son and daughter-in-law who were working in the middle of the lake, so he stood in front of the door and watched the situation over Taihu Lake.

At that time, it was raining fast and heavily, and he couldn't see too far at all. Later, he vaguely seemed to see something falling from the sky and falling into the lake.

At first the old man thought he had read it wrong, but the next day he kept it in mind, so he secretly used the excuse of going to Dongshan to find his daughter and son-in-law, and rowed alone to the place where he dropped yesterday.

One night later, the old man naturally couldn't find anything. He rowed a boat to patrol a large area and almost entered Dongshan, but he didn't find any foreign objects. Just when he thought he was wrong yesterday, he suddenly saw a white piece on the shore. The disk-like thing was stopped by a crooked-neck tree lying across the lake.

When the old man rowed closer, he realized that it was not a disc, but something about the size of a stone mill. It looked like fish scales and was somewhat transparent.

The old man secretly hid it back home, which was a bad thing.The old man's granddaughter turned the scales out somehow, and from then on, the old man could hear his granddaughter talking to herself from time to time at night.

However, when asked during the day, the granddaughter denied it again with a puzzled face, and the old man muttered, wondering if he was bewitched?

At that time, he didn't think about it on the scales, so he invited a famous witch nearby to exorcise the evil spirits. As soon as the witch came, she said that his granddaughter was haunted by ghosts. The old man was startled and asked her to exorcise her. ghost.

Unexpectedly, the sorcerer's casting spell immediately broke things. The old man's granddaughter fell to the ground and woke up again like this.

"The sorceress said that the ghost was too powerful and she couldn't deal with it, so I asked the little old man to hire another expert." The old man sighed, "The little old man originally thought that the master of Hanshan Temple should be very powerful, so he wanted to invite the master from the temple Let's solve it."

"The master ran for a while, but he didn't expect to be invincible. He almost died. Fortunately, he came back to life later. Otherwise, the little old man will have a conscience for the rest of his life. The master told the little old man that the opponent is really powerful, and he needs his master to do it. It's just that the master's master has entered Beijing and he doesn't know when he will be back, so the little old man wandered here with his granddaughter, hoping to see the master's master as soon as possible."

Shen Luo and the emperor looked at each other. Why does this master's story sound familiar?

Isn't this just saying abstinence?

So Shen Luo asked directly: "Old man, is the master you are talking about the Master of Precepts in Hanshan Temple?"

But the old man said guiltily: "Could it be that the nobleman also knows Master Jie Yan? The master helped the little old granddaughter for half a month, but in the end, the master was almost involved in an accident. The little old man has always been uneasy." It is known that the news of Jie Yan's resurrection has spread throughout Suzhou City.

Shen Luo thought in her heart: What a coincidence, Ji Yan had just fooled her with a lie, but she did not expect another person who might know the truth to appear in front of her.

Shen Luo touched the rough tea bowl, and said to the old man, "How did the old man know that your granddaughter's matter is related to that scale?"

The old man's face changed, as if he was afraid, and said: "The little old man's granddaughter had an accident, and the little old man discovered that the scale was hidden on the bed by her. She must have been talking to the things inside the scale at night."

"Is the scale still there?"

The old man nodded, "The scales have been hiding at home. I originally wanted to show the master, but after the master came to the village, he was so busy that he never came to the little old man's house. Later, he found out that he 'died' when he returned. , the little old man didn’t dare to mention it.”

Shen Luo squeezed the fingers of his right hand, and then said to the old man: "Old man, you may not know that I also know some mystic arts, the reason why I called you here is because I saw that your granddaughter's soul is missing..."

The old man's sad face was suddenly filled with surprise, but he was not happy, "Miss, let's forget it, that ghost is very powerful, you look young, can you still be stronger than the master of Hanshan Temple?" The old man has lived to such an advanced age and has his own wisdom. Hearing what Shen Luo said, he knew what she wanted to do.

Shen Luo was a serious fool, "Old man, you don't know this, right? Our local Taoists are good at hunting ghosts, and those monks are foreigners, and they are better at transcendence. So if you ask them to catch ghosts, it's completely It's the wrong direction!" When she said this, she seemed to be completely worried about him from his standpoint.

The old man was suddenly dumbfounded, "Then, what should we do then?" Obviously the old man was taken aback by Shen Luo's words, he followed Shen Luo's train of thought and thought about it, it is true that monks are indeed better at supersession, no wonder Jie Master Yan will be no match for that ghost!

Shen Luo pointed at himself again and said: "Old man, don't look at me young, have you ever heard of Qionghuaguan?"

The old man shook his head.

Shen Luo clicked his tongue, and then opened his mouth to come, "Qionghua Temple is the largest temple in Jiangsu Province. I have challenged Qionghua Temple, defeated countless opponents, catch ghosts and demons, and come first in fortune-telling and Fengshui." The development of Huaguan is not good. Looking at the Buddhist sect of others, a famous temple has been established, and it has been spread all over the world.Switching to the Taoist side, who knows anyone outside the local area?

No one has heard of her borrowing a name.

Of course, it is not ruled out that there are local Taoist temples who are excluded. After all, the human nature of the Celestial Dynasty is such that they like to live in their nests.

The old man immediately said eagerly: "I didn't expect the lady to be so powerful. It's because the little old man is ignorant, and I ask the little lady to save the life of the little old man and granddaughter." After speaking, he got up and was about to kneel down.

Shen Luo reflexively used his spiritual power, and now the old man looked at Shen Luo as if he saw a living god.

"Don't worry, old man. I guarantee that your granddaughter is safe and sound. I wonder if I can go to your house to have a look at the scales?" Since the other party left a mysterious golden light in the little girl's soul, it means that the other party has no malicious intentions. Shen Luo was even more curious about the scale, and always felt that by following the scale, he could find out what secrets Hanshan Temple was hiding.

"Yes, of course, the little old man is willing to lead the way." The old man said happily.

"Then go now?" She said and looked at the emperor.

Unexpectedly, the emperor sat firmly on the stool without moving.

"Your Majesty... Lu..."

The emperor said leisurely, "Lu Fang."

Shen Luo rubbed her nose, only to remember that she didn't seem to have asked the emperor's name, only knew his surname was Lu.Of course, this is nonsense, the world belongs to the Lu family, and it is only a problem if the emperor's surname is not Lu.

"Lu... Lu Fang, I want to go to the old man's house, can I?" Shen Luo begged in a low voice.

The emperor shook his head, "No, it's already dark over there now." Just because he can let her out to play, doesn't mean he can let her stay out at night.

Shen Luo was full of disappointment, but immediately realized that the emperor said that she was not allowed to go today, but it did not mean that she was not allowed to go tomorrow, she could go secretly tomorrow.

So Shen Luo asked the old man for his address, and planned to slip away by himself tomorrow.Of course, the emperor saw all this, and also knew what she was thinking.

The next day, Shen Luo left after the emperor left, but she didn't expect that as soon as she walked out the door, she found a group of people standing outside.

There were 20 people in total, she was a little flustered, could it be that the emperor came here specially to arrest her?

Then she realized that she was thinking too much. These people were sent by the emperor to follow her specially to protect her safety.

Apparently the emperor knew that blocking is worse than sparse, if Shen Luo is not allowed to go out, she will definitely run out secretly, so it is better to allow her to go out, so as to protect her openly.

In this way, Shen Luo led a group of people out of Suzhou City and headed straight for Taihu Lake outside the city.And those who followed Shen Luo's movements in the city also got the news quickly, but because the emperor was not with him this time, those who heard about it didn't pay much attention.

However, when the news spread to Hanshan Temple, it made people unable to sit still.

"Brother, do you think this Mrs. Shen will find out about our arrangement?" Jie Yan asked the abbot who was chanting sutras for morning class.

The abbot obviously looked calm, "Don't panic, we didn't do anything bad, but we just took some spiritual power, so what if someone finds out? Anyway, Mrs. Shen can't be taken away, and she can't stay away for the rest of her life." Suzhou City!" The spirit veins fell in Suzhou, but they can't be taken away.

Hearing what the abbot said, Jie Yan settled down, "That's right, I worked so hard to set up a successful formation, and it's impossible for others to succeed."

It's just a pity that his skills were greatly damaged, and he kept promising Bai Weng to retrieve his granddaughter's lost soul, but he failed to do so.

And his master is still in the capital, he doesn't know when he will be able to return, and he is afraid that Bai Weng's granddaughter will not make it by then.

When Shen Luo came to the Taihu Lake, he saw the old man was already waiting at the intersection.

She asked curiously, "Old man, how did you guess that I would come today?"

The old man replied: "The gentleman next to you sent someone to take the little old man home yesterday, and told the little old man that you will come today." Then he said happily: "Little lady, I didn't expect the little old man to just come and wait. I saw you."

Shen Luo looked at the wet dew on the old man's shoulders, and knew that he was not telling the truth, so she said again: "Old man, where is your home? Let's go there quickly."

"Yes, yes, the little old man will lead the way now." He was about to go forward as he spoke, Shen Luo hurriedly asked him to get into the carriage together.

The carriage traveled another two miles, and finally arrived at a remote village.There are only a dozen or so families in this village, all of which are low mud houses. As soon as they saw Shen Luo's luxurious carriage approaching, many families rushed over to join in the fun.

But when they saw rows of guards riding tall horses with knives in their waists, these people suddenly only dared to look at them from afar.

"Don't look at it, everyone, it's time to go back to work!" The old man got off the carriage and shouted at the people in the village.

Soon the crowd scattered like birds and beasts.

"Please forgive me, little lady, these country people have no experience." The old man was afraid that Shen Luo would be disgusted, so he justified himself.

Shen Luo nodded, telling him not to worry.She could see that although the old man looked fierce to those villagers, he was actually not trying to rescue them.After all, they were captured by the breath of the guards behind Shen Luo, if the old man hadn't roared, these people would not have dared to run away.

"Old man, where is your home?" Shen Luo asked.

"You don't have to be so polite, if the little lady doesn't dislike it, just call the little old man a white man."

Shen Luo immediately changed his words, "Then I will call you Bai Weng, by the way, Bai Weng, my surname is Shen, you can call me Mrs. Shen."

"Miss Shen, this way please."

Shen Luo followed Bai Weng to the village. Bai Weng's house was built by Taihu Lake. No wonder he said he could see the scene in Taihu Lake.

Shen Luo followed Bai Weng into the house, because the main room was not big, so only four guards followed Shen Luo into the house, and the others were scattered outside the house to guard.

Bai Weng asked Shen Luo to sit down, and then went to the outside room to bring a large pot of herbal tea, "I didn't greet you well, and I didn't have any good things at home. I picked these tea leaves myself."

As he said that, he poured tea into the bowls. These bowls were clean, but the mouth of the bowls was pitted, obviously they had been used for a certain period of time.

Shen Luo was the first to pick it up and took a sip. She smiled and said, "I happen to be thirsty, Bai Weng, your tea is not bad!"

Bai Weng said with a happy face: "I made this myself. Others think it's too bitter. It's good that Mrs. Shen likes it. If you don't dislike it, I'll bring you some later."

Shen Luo hurriedly agreed happily.

The four guards who came in with Shen Luo saw that the master drank, so you looked at me and I looked at you, and took a mouthful of boredom as if death was at home.

But when I drank it, I found that it was not as bitter as Bai Weng said, maybe because the water here is of good quality, and it also has an endless aftertaste of sweetness.

"Bai Weng, can you show me your scale?" Shen Luo put down the tea bowl and said.

Bai Weng immediately said: "The little old man will go get it right away, Mrs. Shen, please wait a moment."

After finishing speaking, Bai Weng turned and went into the back room, and came out holding a piece of armor the size of a basin after a while, followed by his lost granddaughter.

The guard who was closer to Bai Weng quickly took the scale and placed it in the center of the table.

Bai Weng pulled his granddaughter to sit opposite Shen Luo, he said: "I don't know what this is, I can only call it scales for the time being."

When Bai Weng's granddaughter saw the scales, she quickly reached out to reach for them. Bai Weng pulled back her hand, smiled bitterly, and explained, "Now this child will only react when he sees the scales." Thinking of how such a clever child has become like this , Bai Weng wished that he had never brought this evil thing home.

Although this thing harmed his granddaughter, he didn't dare to throw it away at all, for he was afraid that without this thing, his granddaughter's soul would be lost.

Shen Luo touched it with his hands, and it was indeed as smooth as fish scales, and the wood texture of the table could be vaguely seen through the scales when it was placed on the table.

Shen Luo already had a guess about this thing, but still needed to investigate.

So she asked Bai Weng again, where this thing appeared.
