big dream master

The content of the practice during the Qi refining period is mainly to open up the various acupuncture points in the body. In this respect, the Huang Ting Jing and the nameless exercises are still interlinked.

After many days of trying, he began to apply the experience of practicing Huang Ting Jing in his dream to the practice of the nameless exercises, and the speed of practice has increased a lot.

According to his estimate, his current cultivation speed is still far behind those geniuses Bai Xiaotian and Yingluo, but he is already better than ordinary monks.

Shen Luo felt a little excited, quickly closed his eyes, and entered the cultivation state again.

In the blink of an eye, more than a month passed.

During this period of time, Shen Luo basically didn't go out and practiced hard all day behind closed doors.

With such hard work, the harvest is not small. He opened up several acupoints on Ren Du's second meridian one after another, and slowly approached the peak of the fifth level of Qi refining.

On this day, he was practicing behind closed doors when there was a knock on the door from outside.

Shen Luo opened his eyes, frowned slightly, but soon opened them up, got up and went outside to open the courtyard door, but there was a ten-year-old maid standing outside.

"Master Shen, the Patriarch is here to invite you." Seeing Shen Luo appear, the servant girl said with a respectful expression on her face.

"Patriarch? Do you know what's going on?" Shen Luo was a little surprised and asked.

"The Patriarch didn't say anything, but just asked me to invite you to the Hall of Mirrors." The servant girl said.

"Understood." Shen Luo responded, with some doubts in his heart, the Jingming Hall is the place where the Bai family discusses matters, why should he go there?

The servant girl bowed and quickly withdrew.

Shen Luo went back to his room and changed into clean clothes, walked towards the center of the Bai family compound, and soon came to a bright hall.

The hall is very spacious, enough to seat 20 people, but at this time there are already seven to eighty-eight people.

These people were dressed in different clothes, but they all had an extraordinary demeanor. They all wore a badge of guest status on their waists, and no one spoke.

Shen Luo stepped into the hall, secretly surprised. He joined the Bai family for a while, and spent most of the time behind closed doors. Apart from Taoist Baishui and Wu Tong, this was the first time he met other guests.

Baihe Village and the third elder Bai Jiangfeng sat on the main seats in the hall, and there were several members of the Bai family sitting beside them, with serious expressions.

As if they heard someone coming in, many guests looked towards the door one after another, and an invisible pressure oppressed them.

In the dreamland, Shen Luo had even faced and killed monsters in the out-of-body stage, how could he care about this pressure, and walked towards the hall with a normal expression.

"Shen Luo is here, sit down quickly." Baihecheng said with a smile when he saw Shen Luo.

Seeing Baihecheng greet Shen Luo so cordially, those gazes looking at Shen Luo suddenly became sharper.

"I've met the Patriarch." Shen Luo saluted Baihe City and found a corner in the hall to sit down.

As soon as he sat down, a hatred-filled gaze looked over from not far away.

Shen Luo turned his head to look, and it was Wu Tong who was knocked down by his little thunder talisman that day.

As soon as Wu Tong saw Shen Luo's gaze, a look of unnaturalness flashed across his face, and he immediately looked away.

At this moment, he was sitting behind a woman in red with Taoist Baishui.

The woman in red with willow eyebrows has a beautiful face and creamy skin. She is extremely beautiful and has a tall figure, especially her slender legs. Sitting there, she feels like she stands out from the crowd.

At this moment, the woman's eyes are slightly closed, as if she is resting.

"Brother Shen, what are you looking at? That woman is beautiful, but she is not a good person." At this moment, Bai Xiaoyun appeared out of nowhere and sat beside Shen Luo.

"Is she the Xie Yuxin you mentioned?" Shen Luo asked, looking away.

"That's right, it's her." Bai Xiaoyun nodded.

"Second Young Master, what did the Patriarch call us here for?" Shen Luo asked.

"You don't know? That's right. You haven't come out of the house these days. There has been a major incident in Jianye City recently." Bai Xiaoyun said in a low voice with a look of surprise on his face.

"Oh, what's the big deal?" Shen Luo's expression froze.

"It's a bit of a long story. You also know that a few days ago, the ghosts in the Shuinuan Pavilion caused three people to die. That incident seemed to be a bad start. During this period, especially in the past month, there have been many people in and out of Jianye City. There have been frequent haunting incidents, and there have been many casualties. People in the city are panicking now. My father asked you to come here to discuss countermeasures." Bai Xiaoyun said with a frown.

Shen Luo heard the words and his heart was surging. He didn't expect that such a big event would happen outside during the days when he was practicing behind closed doors.

After a while, another young guest with a folding fan came in from outside, clasped his fists at Baihe City, and said, "Patriarch, please forgive me for the delay."

"Feng Daoyou is here, please take a seat."

Baihecheng nodded, sat up straight, and slowly said: "It's almost time for people to arrive, let's start. I think you have all guessed the purpose of calling everyone here today, it is for the haunted places in the city." thing."

Chapter 0235 Jian Ye is haunted

Hearing Baihecheng's straight-forward words, all the guests had different expressions and started talking.

"I have indeed heard about ghosts, but the Patriarch must have arranged for us to come here." Xie Yuxin opened her eyes and spoke first.

"That's right. People in the city are panicking now. The government discussed with several of our great families and decided to gather the strength of the whole city to gather capable people and strangers to fight against ghosts everywhere. A list of ghosts was issued as an encouragement." Baihe City Nodding his head, he continued.

"Dare to ask Patriarch, this list is unique to my Bai family?" Xie Yuxin asked again.

"Hehe, this task list is not unique to my Bai family. It is issued by the government. The yamen, the Lin family, and the Du family all have it. The tasks on it may be completed by others at any time, so whichever task you fancy, you must Hurry up." Baihecheng said with a smile.

As soon as these words came out, there was a trace of anxiety on the faces of all the guests present, ready to move.

"Don't be impatient, everyone. The copy of the government's ghost hunting list has been placed in the account room. There are more detailed labels on the task content and the rewards of immortal jade and spiritual materials. You can check it yourself later. But in the Before that, Bai still has some things to say in advance." Bai Hecheng stretched out both hands, pressed them at everyone, and his face became serious.

When everyone heard this, they immediately fell silent.

"The missions on the Ghost Catch List are rich in rewards, but the content is also very dangerous. You must do what you can. In addition, you are my guest ministers from the Bai family. If you complete the mission, you need to report to the accountant of the Bai family, and then the Bai family will unify Go to the government to deliver." Baihecheng said.

All the guests naturally have no objection to the danger. After all, risks and opportunities coexist. It is impossible to take nothing and wait for the reward to come to your door. As for returning to the Bai family to pay the task, they all feel that it is due.

Only Shen Luo felt a little strange, he didn't understand why Baihe City specifically ordered this point?

"Everyone, at this time of crisis, I still hope that everyone can work together to tide over the difficulties and do our best to protect the peace of Jianye City." Baihecheng said with a smile on his face.

"Even if we don't have this list of ghost catchers, it is my job to subdue demons and eliminate ghosts. We will definitely not fall into the title of the No. [-] exorcist family of our Bai family." Xie Yuxin said, and the rest of the people clasped their fists together. go along.

"With the words of thanking fellow daoist, I feel relieved." Baihecheng nodded with a smile.

Afterwards, he ordered everyone to go to the lobby of the accounting room, where the details of various tasks had been announced.

Shen Luo followed the crowd and walked out of the hall.

"Patriarch, do you really not tell them about the fight between the Lin and Du families for the number one exorcist family?" Bai Jiangfeng asked after everyone left.

"No, if this matter is leaked out, these guest lords may have other thoughts. I have already learned about it secretly, and the Lin and Du families have not disclosed this matter." Bai Hecheng shook his head and said.

"That's right." After Bai Jiangfeng finished speaking, he waved his hand, and there was an extra piece of white silk in his palm.

The white silk was filled with small characters written with a vermilion brush, which were exactly the contents of the ghost-hunting missions, but there were some discrepancies with what Baihe City said earlier. After the missions, there were no immortal jade and spiritual material rewards, only some numbers were written.

"The government will really plan carefully and create a title of the number one exorcist family to complete the tasks on the ghost hunting list. The accumulated merit points will be used to calculate the results, and let our three great families fight for the top. However, they The rewards for the No. [-] exorcist family are also really generous, just the right to operate the three popular shops on Xuanwu Street, and [-]% of the transportation right to the wharf outside the city, we can't help but fight for it." Bai Jiangfeng said tut-tsk.

"The government can't do anything about it. The ghosts suddenly erupted recently. If they are suppressed in a short period of time, the impact on Jianye City will be too great." Baihecheng said in a deep voice.

"But what's going on recently? There are frequent incidents of demons and monsters making trouble in various places. Is it true that there will be disasters like the rumors from the outside world?" Bai Jiangfeng frowned.

"Let's deal with the matter in front of us first." Baihecheng said noncommittally.

……

During the conversation between Bai Hecheng and Bai Jiangfeng, all the guests of the Bai family had gathered in the accountant of the Bai family.

In the lobby of the accountant's office, there is a tall wooden list standing upright. The tasks written on it are arranged one by one, the entries are clear, and they are all in an unfinished state.

Standing at the back of the crowd, Shen Luo looked on tiptoe, and saw lines of densely packed small characters written on the list. It was all tasks of exorcising ghosts. The location and reason were clearly written.

There are various rewards at the end of the task, in addition to fairy jade, there are also some spiritual materials and other things.

"Ghosts are haunting the South Gate Zhuangyuan Bridge. They are suspected to be water ghosts. They are good at diving and have great strength and thick skin. Killing them will reward you with two immortal jades."

"Liujia village in the east of the city is haunted by ghosts. Five people have been injured and some livestock have been plundered. The body is unknown. I will reward you with a piece of fire, gold and wood."

"There are female ghosts crying every night in Liulin Town, south of the city, and the villagers are terrified..."

Shen Luo's eyes could not help but brighten up. The rewards for the tasks on the list are really generous. There are two or three immortal jades at random, and there are many more than five, which are equivalent to his salary for several months or even a year. Most of them don't know each other, but they all seem extraordinary.

"There are so many good things!" Seeing this, Bai Xiaoyun also showed a hint of surprise on his face.

When all the guests saw the content of the mission, they all showed joy on their faces.

These Bai family guests, although they can enjoy some cultivation resources on weekdays, but immortal jade is very rare. In addition to the normal supply, they can only be rewarded for meritorious service in the house. Life is generally tight, and it appears like this all at once. It is rare to have so many high-paying tasks.

Shen Luo looked at it for a while, then shook his head slightly, looked away, and turned to leave.

It's not that he doesn't want to perform these tasks, but that he has self-knowledge.

To do the task with his current level of cultivation, firstly, he might not be the opponent of those ghosts, which is quite risky; secondly, even if he can fight against some ghosts, I am afraid it will cost some talismans and other things. It may not be worthwhile to come and go.

Now his cultivation of the nameless kungfu is quite smooth, and he has made two sums of foreign money, so he is naturally not very interested in immortal jade and those materials.

"Why, Brother Shen isn't interested in these tasks?" Bai Xiaoyun approached and asked.

"There are too many people in front, I'll take a look later." Shen Luo smiled and said casually.

"Because you are a little doll with no hair on your mouth, you want to take the risk to do the task of exorcising ghosts? I am afraid that if the ghosts are not expelled, you will become a ghost first?" At this moment, a strange voice came from came from the side.

Chapter 0236 The Red Leaf Town Mission

Shen Luo and Bai Xiaoyun followed the prestige, but they saw that Taoist Baishui was looking sideways, with a mocking smile on his lips.

"That's right! It's only the fifth floor of Qi Refining, so don't go out and show yourself." Wu Tong stood aside, staring at Shen Luo with unfriendly eyes, and kept laughing.

Seeing this, other people around also turned their gazes over.

Shen Luo looked around a few times, his expression was indifferent, and he didn't say anything.

"Fellow Daoist Baishui, as far as I know, not long ago you kept claiming that there were no ghosts in the case of Zhenhuai Bridge, Brother Shen kindly reminded you to ignore it, but in the end you were almost dragged into the water by the water ghost, which made our Bai family suffer a great loss in front of other families. Face, is there such a thing?" Shen Luo didn't care, and Bai Xiaoyun at the side quit, pointing at Taoist Baishui and yelling.

As soon as Bai Xiaoyun said this, people around him started talking about it.

"Yo, I seem to have heard of this, so there is still this layer!"

"Tsk tsk, so Taoist Baishui also sometimes misses it?"

"Nonsense!" Taoist Baishui's face sank when Bai Xiaoyun directly exposed this embarrassing thing.

The savage look in his eyes flashed away, he gave Shen Luo a hard look, and his gaze returned to the list.

"Fellow Daoist Li Chu, this guy is the old man, right? It seems that they don't deal with Taoist Baishui very much." Asked the folding fan youth Ke Qing to a bald man beside him.

"That's right, it's that old man! It's just a fawning one. After the eldest son left, no, he got in touch with the second young master again." Li Chu stroked his bald head and spat.

"Hehe, it's no wonder." The folding fan youth shook his head and said.

Other guests nearby heard the conversation between Chu Li and the folding fan youth, and looked into Shen Luo's eyes, adding a bit of disdain.

Xie Yuxin was concentrating on checking the tasks, but at this time she also glanced sideways at Shen Luo, a trace of disdain flashed in her beautiful eyes, then she looked away and continued to check the list.

Shen Luo just smiled faintly at everyone's discussion, stretched out his hand to grab Bai Xiaoyun who was still going forward to argue, and shook his head lightly at him.

Although Bai Xiaoyun didn't get angry, seeing Shen Luo like this, he suppressed his temper and didn't say anything more.

After a while, the people gathered in front of the list picked out their favorite tasks and left. Only then did Shen Luo take a few steps forward, looking at the list line by line.

"Hey, this one seems pretty good..."

As a result, he didn't look for long before his eyes suddenly lit up, and his eyes fell on a task at the bottom of the list.

"The river in Hongye Town in the south of the city is haunted by ghosts, causing many boatmen to die. I will reward you with a piece of Huolin wood." Shen Luo muttered to himself, feeling a little happy in his heart.

This fire lin wood is exactly one of the main materials recorded in the Chunyang Treasure Book and is most suitable for refining Chunyang sword embryos.

He is very concerned about refining the Pure Yang Sword Embryo. These days, he often pays attention to the materials needed for refining, but unfortunately he has not found any of them so far. Unexpectedly, he came across one here.

Shen Luo's eyes focused on Huo Linmu, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up.

"Want to do the mission in Hongye Town? You have taken a fancy to that fire scale wood, you really don't know how to live or die, don't you know that the higher the salary, the more difficult the mission must be?" Chu Li said to himself, probably because he was worried about Bai Xiaoyun, his voice was suppressed lower.

Shen Luo seemed to have never heard the voice, turned around and walked towards the residence.

Bai Xiaoyun snorted coldly, glared at Chu Li, and left here right after Shen Luo.

Taoist Baishui looked at Shen Luo's back, his eyes flickered, and he said to himself: "How dare you accept this task? I will accept this fire lin wood."

After he finished speaking, he also rushed towards the accountant's door.

"Fellow Daoist Bai, wait a moment, I will be included in this trip to Hongye Town." Seeing this, Wu Tong suddenly smiled, and hurriedly chased him out.

Seeing the statement, the other people around showed a playful look on their faces.
