big dream master

"Those guys don't know your strength at all. Brother Shen, why don't you show your strength and let them see it." Back to Shen Luo's residence, Bai Xiaoyun said angrily.

"What they said is not wrong. My strength is only at the fifth level of Qi Refining. I am at the bottom of all the guest lords, and I am one level lower than that Wu Tong." Shen Luo said calmly.

"Cultivation is nothing! With your attainments in talisman, Big Brother Shen, I don't think there are many people in Ke Qing who are your opponents." Bai Xiaoyun waved his hand and shouted.

Shen Luo smiled indifferently, Bai Xiaoyun was right, if he didn't hesitate to activate the Thunderbolt Talisman, let alone a monk in the Bigu period, even a cultivation level in the Soul Condensation period might not be able to stop it.

This is also the reason why he didn't pay attention to those guests. In his dream, he fought fiercely with monsters during the out-of-body period, and now he is carrying the Thunderbolt Talisman, his vision and mentality are no longer comparable to those guests.

"However, what those people said about the dangerous missions in Hongye Town should be true. The list of ghost-hunting missions is issued by the government, and the people in the government will not make random judgments." Bai Xiaoyun said worriedly.

"It's okay, since I've accepted it, I naturally have a way to deal with it." Knowing that Bai Xiaoyun had good intentions, Shen Luo said with a smile.

"I believe that Big Brother Shen will never do anything he is not sure of!" Bai Xiaoyun was relieved when he saw Shen Luo's confident expression, knowing that he wanted to make a decision before making a move.

"By the way, Lin Biqiu finally sent fifteen pieces of immortal jade over two days ago. This is eight pieces. Brother Shen please accept it with a smile." Bai Xiaoyun immediately remembered something, took out a small cloth bag from his bosom, and placed it in Shen Falling, the inside is full of fairy jade, and there is a crisp sound between the collisions.

"These immortal jades were obtained from a bet between you and Lin Biqiu, and have nothing to do with me. How could I accept such a gift." Shen Luo glanced at the cloth bag and pushed it back.

"If Brother Shen hadn't helped me with the treasure talisman that day, I would have been defeated and lost all face! You must accept these fairy jades, otherwise you will deny me as a friend!" Bai Xiaoyun said anxiously, his face darkening.

"Okay then." Seeing Bai Xiaoyun like this, Shen Luo knew that if he refused again, he would really get angry because of his personality, so he didn't refuse any more.

"That's right! Brother Shen, if you want to do a task, you should naturally have some back-up preparations. It's so-called preparedness! Well, I won't bother you, and I will help you succeed immediately." Bai Xiaoyun didn't stay here any longer, and said goodbye leave.

Shen Luo sent him out, and went back to the house to recall the mission content. Without delay, he immediately made some preparations and brought all the talismans with him.

Although he didn't think that he would be unable to complete this task, he didn't dare to be contemptuous. He had heard a lot about the shipwreck in the gutter from those miscellaneous notes.

When he was ready, he immediately left Bai's house and headed for Hongye Town.

Chapter 0237

Hongye Town is thirty miles south of Jianye City, and it only takes an hour to go all out.

This town is small in size, similar to Tuji Town near Chunqiu Temple, but much more prosperous than Tuji Town. As the name suggests, maple leaves are growing inside and outside the town. It is late autumn, and the maple leaves are as red as flames, which is extremely beautiful.

A large river flows by the side of the town. This river is named Lishui River, which leads directly to the East China Sea. It is an important waterway for Jianye City. A large number of ships pass by every day, making Hongye Town prosperous.

But when Shen Luo arrived, the whole town was not very angry, the streets in the town were very deserted, although the shops on both sides were open, there were not many customers, and the shop owners also looked very thoughtful.

The whole town felt heavy, and even some wild cats and dogs on the street were terrified and ran past in a hurry.

Shen Luo didn't stay on the street. He asked someone to inquire, and went straight to a courtyard at the east end of the town. He knocked on the door, but there was no response from inside.

"Aren't you at home?" He frowned slightly and continued to knock on the door.

"Who? There's been a lot of trouble outside, don't you think there's not enough trouble?" An irritable voice came from the house, the door was opened with a bang, and a gray-haired old man came out angrily, and saw the Shen Luo was stunned.

"You are?" the old man looked at Shen Luo and asked in surprise.

"Your Excellency is the head of the town's Sun Li? Here, Shen Luo, the guest of the Bai family in Jianye City, has taken over the task from your side." Shen Luo took out his identity token, waved it in front of the old man, and was secretly happy.

Looking at the situation, he was the first person to arrive in Hongye Town. If he could find out the reason for the haunting before the others arrived, he would be the first to rush there and kill the ghost, so as not to attract attention.

"Ah, it's the guest of the Bai family? You're finally here! The little old man's surname is Sun, you can just call me Old Suntou, Master Immortal Shen please come inside!" The old man said in surprise, and bowed to Shen Luo.

"Master Sun, you're welcome, Mr. Shen came here to ask you about the origin of the haunting..." Shen Luo said.

"Hey, it's rare for someone to arrive earlier than us." At this moment, a voice came.

There was a sound of footsteps, and three green-robed men walked over from a distance, looking quite proud.

Shen Luo turned around and took a look at the three of them, especially staying a little longer on the blue tokens hanging around their waists.

The green wooden mark on the cyan token is the Lin family's mark.

"Hey, it's the guest of the Bai family, you have a face!" Among the three green-robed men, the leader was a short, skinny and ugly man who looked at Shen Luo and said in surprise.

The other two are short and fat, and the other is hunchbacked. The three of them have similar faces, and they are all very ugly. They seem to be siblings from the same mother.

"Bai family Shen Luo." Shen Luo nodded slightly.

"Shen Luo? I seem to have heard of this name before, ah! I remembered that recently I heard that a country boy came to the Bai family. He became the guest secretary of the Bai family by virtue of his relationship with Bai Xiaotian, the youngest of the Bai family. That person is You." The skinny ugly man said with disdain.

"Tsk tsk, the guy at the bottom dares to take on this kind of task. I'm afraid he is impatient? Haha!" The short, fat and ugly man glanced sideways at Shen Luo and laughed wantonly.

Shen Luo narrowed his eyes, feeling quite uncomfortable.

All the guests of the Bai family belittled him many times before, although he didn't take it to heart, he was still a little shy, and he was ridiculed again when he got here. Did he really think he was a clay bodhisattva who would not be angry?

"Boy, we, Ouyang Sanjie, have taken over the Red Leaf Town mission this time. If you want to save your life, you should get out." The skinny ugly man waved his hand and scolded.

"My elder brother told you to get lost, are you deaf or dumb?" Seeing that Shen Luo was motionless, the hunchbacked ugly man raised his hand fiercely and clapped it.

A burst of green light shot out from his hand, and instantly condensed into a phantom of a tiger's claw. In a flash, he arrived in front of Shen Luo, with an astonishingly fast speed, and ruthlessly grabbed Shen Luo's cheek.

But before the shadow of the claws fell, Shen Luo's figure swayed left and right, white lights flashed on his feet, and the person turned into four or five afterimages and disappeared from the spot, and in a flash, he rushed in front of the three ugly men.

The three of them had never expected Shen Luo's movement to be so fast, and they were surprised, but they were not ordinary people, and all of their bodies immediately lit up with dark green light, forming a faint green tiger shadow.

But before the tiger shadow could fully condense, a flash of lightning flashed from Shen Luo's sleeve, and three white lightning bolts shot out from it, hitting the three of them separately with lightning speed, dazzling white lightning flashed in full bloom.

The bodyguards of the three ugly men, Hu Ying, let out a howl, as if they had encountered a nemesis, and collapsed under the dazzling electric light.

Not only that, the remaining white arcs spread across their bodies, making the movements of the three of them stiff.

Following Lei Guang, Shen Luo's right palm suddenly doubled in size, and drew a semicircle in the air. The three of them were enveloped in the miserable palm wind, and he struck out fiercely.

Bang bang bang!

The bodies of the three of them were like fallen leaves in a strong wind, they were thrown upside down and fell heavily to the ground.

"You..." The skinny ugly man turned over and tried to get up, but when he moved, his chest immediately felt a sharp pain, as if his bones had been shattered.

The other two looked the same, and there was a flicker of panic in their eyes looking at Shen Luo.

Shen Luo's expression did not change, but he was secretly happy in his heart.

In the past month, he has practiced oblique moon steps in addition to the nameless exercises. With the experience in the dream, he has reached the realm of Xiaocheng.

The three people in front of him, in terms of cultivation level, none of them are inferior to him, but their speed is far behind his own. Cooperating with the small thunder talisman, it really has a good effect.

It was his first time to perform a mission, and he was a little worried because of his lack of actual combat experience, but now he tested the waters with these three Lin family guests, which gave him a little more confidence.

"Master Sun, do you know where that ghost is haunting now?" Shen Luo clapped his hands, ignored the three ugly men, turned around and walked back to the dull old Sun, and asked.

"Ah, yes, yes! The ghost haunts the Bailudang area outside the town. It can't come out during the day, but it will wander around the river at night, attacking passing boats, and has injured many people. Now there is no such thing at night. If people dare to go into the water, their business during the day will be greatly affected." The old grandson came back to his senses and said anxiously.

"It won't appear until night... Don't worry, Chief Sun, our Bai family will handle this matter properly." Shen Luo frowned, then said with a slight smile.

"Then I'll leave it to Master Shen." Old Sun glanced at the three Lin family guests who had just climbed up in the distance, and warmly cupped his hands towards Shen Luo.

Shen Luo immediately asked where Bai Ludang was, and did not stay here any longer, and left.

"Brother, should we follow?" the ugly hunchback asked in a deep voice.

"This kid is a bit evil! I heard that his cultivation is only in the middle stage of Qi refining, how can he be so fast?" The short and fat man rubbed his aching back and grinned.

"Hmph! The three of us didn't take precautions this time, so we fell into this kid's way. Go, follow! Be smart for a while." The skinny ugly man snorted and said.

Chapter 0238 The Specter Appears

Shen Luo left the town and soon came to the Lishui River.

The surface of the Lishui River is very open, several miles wide, winding towards the downstream. At a glance, the mist is vast and the water is surging, like a huge dragon crawling on the ground.

He walked downstream along the rushing river for a while, and a swamp of reeds appeared in front of him.

The area of ​​the reed marsh is small, only seven or eight miles long, and it is extremely tall and dense, but it has become withered and yellow now.

The river wind blew, and the reeds rolled like water waves, making a loud rushing sound.

At this time, the sun had already started to set, the surface of the river became dark, and there was not a single boat. It seemed that they were really frightened by the ghost.

Shen Luo's eyes moved around, after a moment of pondering, he used the Treading Water Jue, and searched around the reed marsh, but found no trace of Yin Qi.

He was not reconciled, and after sticking a ghost talisman on his body, he walked around a few times, but still didn't find anything.

"It seems that this ghost hides quite deep." Shen Luo thought to himself, and after leaving the river, he found a dry place on the bank and sat cross-legged, quietly waiting for the night to fall.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps coming from a distance, and Shen Luo turned his eyes away, but it was the three Lin family guests who had also come here.

The skinny ugly man in the lead saw that Shen Luo's expression was a little unnatural, but he didn't come up to provoke him. Instead, he led the two behind him around Shen Luo, and started to investigate in the reed marsh.

Shen Luo also ignored the three of them, and closed his eyes to rest.

After a while, the three of them came back with disappointment on their faces. Like Shen Luo, they found a place on the bank to sit down and wait.

Just as the sun was about to set, another man and a woman came to the vicinity of Bailudang. The man was in his twenties, with dark skin, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and there was a bit of heroism between his eyebrows. The woman was only [-] years old and was dressed in goose yellow Short shirt, graceful figure, handsome appearance.

The two wore a gray and white badge on their waists, with the word "Du" written on it.

"Ouyang Sanjie! I didn't expect them to come too." The dark-skinned young man saw the three guests of the Lin family from a distance, his face darkened, and he muttered to himself.

"Are they famous?" The girl in the yellow shirt blinked and asked.

"Brother Ouyang Tian has refined Qi to the seventh level, and his two brothers have refined Qi to the sixth level just like you, but the three of them practiced the Shahu Kung Fu of the famous Shahu Daoist Master Shahu who was a famous loose cultivator in Black Rock Mountain back then. It is a bit tricky to join forces. "The young man explained softly to the girl.

At this time, Ouyang Sanjie also noticed the man and woman from the Du family.

"It turns out that it is Qi Yuan, Lan Bingshou of the Du family. Then this little girl must be Yan Li, the disciple of Master Huangshan. Hearing a hundred things is worth seeing once. What a beauty." The skinny and ugly man Ouyang Tian stared at her. Looking at the girl, the evil light flashed away.

"No wonder Lan Bingshou was also fascinated by the dignified bigu period. The little girl is really good-looking, I feel pity!" The short, fat, ugly man swallowed and spit.

A hint of anger appeared on Yan Li's pretty face, and she was about to say something, but Qi Yuan raised her hand to stop her.

"The three of you can be regarded as famous people, and you should respect yourself so as not to dishonor the reputation of the Lin family." Qi Yuan's face darkened, and he said calmly.

"Lan Bing's words are serious, you and Lin Du's family are inseparable, just now what my brother said as a joke, don't take it seriously!" Ouyang Tian cupped his hands at Qi Yuan and said haha.

Qi Yuan didn't pay attention to Ouyang Sanjie any more, and glanced around casually, only then noticed the lonely person nearby, Shen Shen, his eyes swept over the Keqing badge on his waist, and thought in his heart: "Baijia Keqing, didn't you see?" the old face."

"Brother Qi, according to what the Lichang Sun said, ghosts are haunting this area, should we go and investigate?" Yan Li asked softly with an eager look in his eyes.

"They arrived before us, so they must have searched. Most likely they didn't find any trace of the ghost. It would be futile for us to search again. Let's wait for dark." Qi Yuan explained with a smile, and then took the girl to find a place to sit down.

Not long after, two more figures appeared at Luweidangkou, but they were Taoist Baishui and Wu Tong.

"Ouyang Sanjie! Lan Bing hand Qi Yuan!" Taoist Baishui saw all the people present, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes.

Ouyang Sanjie and Qi Yuan naturally also saw Taoist Baishui, but they just glanced over, obviously not paying attention to them.

Wu Tong touched Taoist Master Baishui with his arm, and twitched his chin somewhere.

Taoist Baishui looked in the direction Wu Tong pointed, and saw Shen Luo sitting there quietly, sneering in a low voice: "This brat who doesn't know how to live or die came here quite early."

"He really thought that he would become a character by currying favor with the eldest son. After a while, he would understand how ignorant he was." Wu Tong immediately echoed.

While the two were talking, they found another open space away from the river bank and sat down cross-legged.

"The two newcomers to the Bai family, why didn't they sit with the previous one?" Yan Li asked a little strangely.

"Bai Jiakeqing has always liked internal fighting, nothing strange." Qi Yuan said with a smile.

Suddenly, the girl glanced at the three members of the Bai family with contempt, closed her eyes, and rested her mind.

"Master Daoist, I didn't expect the mission in Hongye Town to be so popular. It attracted Ouyang Sanjie and Qi Yuan. With the two of us, I'm afraid we can't compete with them." After sitting down, Wu Tong could only hear it with two people. The voice whispered.

"There are so many people. If something happens to Shen Luo, we can find a reason." Taoist Baishui said with a low laugh.

"What the Taoist priest said is very true!" Wu Tong rubbed his hands when he heard the words, and smiled.

Shen Luo sat there quietly with his eyes closed all the time, without opening his eyes, as if he didn't notice that there were two more groups of people around him.

About half an hour later, night finally fell.

Dark clouds rolled in midair, covering the crescent moon that had just risen.

The wind on the river also gradually increased, with rolling waves, and the sound from the reeds also became louder, mixing with the sound of the waves, it seemed a bit noisy.

At this moment, everyone by the river opened their eyes at the same time, looking towards the middle of the river.

The river there suddenly burst into a series of bubbles, each bubble was filled with black Yin Qi, and the river surface quickly condensed a piece of black Yin Qi about Zhang Xu in size.

A shadow slowly emerged from the black air, but it was the figure of a woman in a red robe, surrounded by thick black air, and the gloomy evil spirit could be clearly felt from a long distance away.

"What a ghost, looking at this posture, I'm afraid it's very close to the bigu period! Li'er, get the evil spirit beads ready, and be careful. I'll do it immediately after I lure this ghost ashore." Qi Yuan stared at the red-clothed female ghost, Taking a breath of cool air, he stood up with a movement of his body.

A blue light flashed in his hand, and an ice-blue flying claw talisman emerged.

Yan Li stood up quickly, chanting a mantra, and there were streaks of yellow glows from his sleeves.
