big dream master

"Hey, Fellow Daoist Chu, didn't you go to the mission of Youshui Village? Are the ghosts there so powerful? They hurt you like this?" The young man surnamed Feng clapped his fan and asked. .

"Feng Ling, don't mention it soon. I was overshadowed by the iron mountain of the Lin family. That guy took advantage of the time when I was fighting with the ghost, and attacked with the heavy mountain talisman. Not only did he steal the mission, but he also injured me." Chu Li glanced He glanced and said angrily.

"Don't be angry. I also met people from the Lin family today, but I didn't let them take advantage of them. Not only did I steal their tasks, but I also played tricks on them. It's considered revenge for you." Feng Ling spread out his folding fan and lightly Shaking and laughing.

Hearing this, Chu Li didn't feel much better, but instead became even more angry.

What Feng Ling said was clearly intended to suppress him and promote himself, and he didn't have any good intentions.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd. A beautiful woman in red came over from the outside alone. It was Xie Yuxin.

The person in front hurriedly moved out of the way, Xie Yuxin walked slowly to the mission table and waved her hand.

With a "click", a broken gray-white jade pendant was still on the table, and an astonishing yin energy emanated from it.

Standing in the distance, Shen Luo's eyes were fixed, the yin energy on the gray-white jade pendant was still on his broken red sleeve.

"The wounding ghosts in Yizhuang in the west of the city have been executed." Xie Yuxin said calmly.

"It is said that the strength of the ghost in Yizhuang has almost reached the bigu stage. Seeing that she is calm and her clothes are not messy, it is probably easy to kill."

"Worthy of being the No. 1 guest of the Bai family, amazing, amazing..."

"If I'm not mistaken, this is the second time she has come to pay the task today, right?"

The guests nearby talked a lot, full of praise.

Shen Luo listened to the words of the people around him, and had a deeper understanding of Xie Yuxin's strength.

"Okay, okay! Wait a moment and deal with it right away." The two housekeepers of the Bai family behind the table showed respect, and one of them took out the task book and handed over the task.

The other person walked quickly towards the inner hall, and quickly walked over with a jade box, handing it to Xie Yuxin.

"Thank you, dear guest, this is the reward for this mission, please keep it."

Xie Yuxin opened the jade box a little, and glanced inside, a smile appeared on her cold face, as if the iceberg of ten thousand years had melted slightly, and everyone around was stunned.

It's just that the next moment, her expression returned to her usual indifference, she put away the jade box, turned around and continued to check the task list, as if she had to continue to take on new tasks.

At this time, Shen Luo stopped watching from a distance and walked over.

As soon as Chu Li saw Shen Luo approaching, he immediately regained his spirits, and finally found a place to get back the face he had just lost.

"Hey, isn't this Shen Dakeqing? I remember you didn't accept the mission of Hongye Town, why did you come back so soon?" Chu Li immediately called out loudly.

"Hey, it's really sinking, he came back rather quickly."

"It must have failed the mission. I heard that Ouyang Sanjie of the Lin family also went to the mission of Hongye Town. These three guys are not easy to deal with."

"It deserves it. With his strength, he went to challenge the mission of Hongye Town. It is his luck to come back alive." Others nearby also saw Shen Luo, and there were many discussions, but most of them were sarcasm.

"Shen Luo, do you know the gap between our Jianye City and the countryside you used to stay in? Don't think that you can stay in the Bai family by currying favor with the two young masters." Chu Li looked at Shen Luo, and finally regained some confidence , said with a sneer.

Shen Luo ignored it, walked to the task table in a few steps, and took out the broken sleeve from his arms.

"The mission of Hongye Town is completed, this is the certificate." He said lightly.

As soon as these words came out, the nearby voices suddenly fell silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on Shen Luo and the red sleeve.

Chu Li stood there in a daze, with a mocking expression on his face, which looked rather ridiculous.

Xie Yuxin, who was looking at the task at the side, noticed the movement here, and looked here.

The two stewards of the Bai family behind the desk were stunned for a moment, then checked the sleeves.

"It looks like the core of the ghost's yin energy is right, but whether it is the one from the mission in Hongye Town needs to be confirmed." A steward of the Bai family raised his head and said.

"I still need to confirm? Just now, thank you for paying the mission, why didn't you confirm it and gave the reward directly?" Shen Luo couldn't help frowning and asked.

Chapter 0242 Unexpectedly

Xie Yuxin, who was looking at the task at the side, couldn't help frowning when she heard Shen Luo's words, and looked over here.

"This... Xie Keqing has a high level of cultivation and has always acted in a safe manner. Today is the second delivery of the task, and there is no need to verify anything. You still need to verify it a little bit. It is just a process and it is not troublesome." The manager of the Bai family said quickly .

"Can you be compared with Xie Keqing? Steward, you'd better investigate carefully! This red cloth may be picked up by him, and he must not be fooled." Chu Li reacted, stepped forward and said.

"We will check whether you have completed your tasks and whether you have completed them by yourself. We will not neglect anyone or treat anyone poorly." The steward of the Bai family took a look at Chu Li and said calmly.

When Chu Li heard this, anger flashed in his eyes, but he didn't say anything.

"Don't worry, Shen Keqing, this is a normal process. If you have completed the task, someone will send it to your residence after the task reward." The other manager apologized slightly and said to Shen Luo.

"Then trouble you two." Shen Luo nodded after hearing this, cupped his fists at the two of them, turned and walked towards the residence.

Seeing Shen Luo leave, Xie Yuxin also looked away.

It doesn't matter to those who completed the task, but the few people who returned without success today, like Chu Li, did not want to believe that Shen Luo could really complete the task in their hearts, and looked at his back one by one, with suspicion in their eyes .

At this moment, two figures appeared in the distance and walked over side by side. They were Taoist Baishui and Wu Tong.

"Daoist Baishui, fellow Taoist Wu Tong, I remember that you also went to carry out the mission in Hongye Town. How is that mission? Has it been completed? Who did it?" Chu Li immediately went up to meet him and asked.

Taoist Baishui and Wu Tong looked gloomy and looked at each other without speaking.

"What's the matter with you? Why don't you speak? Could it be that Shen Luo is the real one?" Feng Ling waved his folding fan, doubtful.

Chu Li also looked over, the corners of his eyes twitched, and a trace of uneasiness flashed across his face.

"That's right, it was indeed Shen Luo's doing." Taoist Baishui sighed and nodded helplessly.

As soon as these words came out, the few people who questioned Shen Luo before were suddenly dumbfounded.

"It's really him, how is this possible!" After a while, someone exclaimed.

"Yeah, didn't it mean that he only has a mid-stage Qi refining cultivation? I heard that the strength of the water ghost in Hongye Town is at least equivalent to that of a late-stage Qi refining monk!"

"Could it be that this person has other means?"

"How is it possible..." Chu Li murmured with a hot feeling on his face.

"Taoist Baishui, Wu Tong, have you seen clearly how that Shen Luo killed the ghost in Hongye Town?" At this moment, a cold voice sounded, but it was Xie Yuxin who came over.

"That's how it happened. After Daoist Wu and I arrived in Hongye Town..." Taoist Baishui roughly explained the process of sinking and killing the female ghost in red.

"Oh, it turned out to be based on the power of the talisman." After hearing this, Xie Yuxin showed a hint of disappointment on her face.

She originally thought that Shen Luo was hiding his strength, so she became a little interested in it.

When he heard that it turned out that he was just a guy who relied on a lot of talismans, his interest was gone, and he turned around and continued to check the task list.

After Shen Luo returned to his residence, he closed his eyes and adjusted his breath for a while. After recovering his mana, he couldn't wait to get up and go to the courtyard.

He took out the Ghost Howling Ring from his bosom, looked at it a few times, and couldn't hide the smile on his face anymore, and his whole face became beaming.

The mission in Hongye Town was originally for Huolinmu, so they spent a lot of little thunder charms at all costs. I was a little distressed at first, but in the end, I got this ghost howling ring when I met the soul-hunting horse face again by accident. Get the most out of it.

Although this ring is not a real magic weapon, it is definitely easier to use than ordinary talisman weapons. If you can really control it, you can have another powerful attack method. Enemies are of great help.

While thinking about it, he began to continuously inject mana into the ghost howling ring in his hand. After a while, a black light flashed on the ring, condensing into a black ghost beast the size of a washbasin.

He continued to inject mana, and the ghost head became bigger and more solid until it reached the size of a millstone.

At this time, the ghost head had a single horn on his forehead, and his face was hideous and terrifying. Compared with the first attempt, he was much more solidified, but it also consumed almost one-fifth of his mana.

Shen Luo took a deep breath, grasped the ghost whistle ring tightly, and swung it towards a small rockery in the courtyard.

Accompanied by a ghost howl, a black sound wave shot out from the mouth of the ghost head, spanning a distance of more than ten feet in an instant, and hitting a rockery not far away.

"Boom"!

The rockery, which was two or three feet high, trembled suddenly, and the part hit by the sound wave boomed, and exploded in fragments, and dust danced wildly.

Shen Luo pondered for a while, clasped the ghost howling ring in his palm, and raised his hand again, another black sound wave shot out from the ghost howling sound, and turned into a black sound wave about ten feet long The knife slashed across another intact rockery in a flash.

"Pfft"!

The rockery was like paper paste and mud, and it was easily cut in two by the black sound knife, and the upper half fell to the ground with a bang, setting off a burst of smoke.

Shen Luo nodded in satisfaction, then stopped.

Driving this kind of half magic weapon similar to a talisman is purely practice makes perfect, because he has the experience of manipulating magic weapons in dreams, he just tried it a little, and he figured out the usage of this ghost howling ring.

This ring is much stronger than the small thunder talisman, but it consumes a lot of mana. The advantage is that it can be used repeatedly, which is a relatively practical attack method.

Although it was not as powerful as the Lightning Falling Talisman, with his pitiful mana, he might be able to activate just one, and it could only be used as a trump card at a critical moment.

"It seems that my cultivation level is still too low. If this continues, even if you give me a magic weapon, it won't work." Shen Luo thought so, turned around and went back to the house, lay down on the bed, screaming loudly. to sleep.

Running around all night, exorcising ghosts, and practicing ghost howling circles, he was really tired.

When Shen Luo woke up, it was already the afternoon of the third day.

He got up and moved his body, went out and fetched a few buckets of water to fill the wooden bucket in the room, and then sat cross-legged in it, performing the nameless exercises, and began to practice.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door from outside.

He frowned, he had no choice but to stop practicing, got up and opened the courtyard door, only to see a middle-aged man dressed as a manager standing outside.

"Shen Keqing, we have investigated the task in Hongye Town clearly. It is indeed you who exorcised the ghosts. This is your reward. Please take a look." The man was quite respectful, and he took out a long white jade box with both hands, and handed it over. come over.

Chapter 0243

Shen Luo reached out to take the jade box, and after opening it, he saw a piece of red wood about a foot long lying in the box. The wood grain was fine, and the surface emitted a red light like a flame, and at the same time, a scorching heat rushed towards his face.

"That's right, it's Huo Linmu! Thank you very much." Shen Luo thanked with a smile.

"You deserve these. I don't know what mission Shen Keqing plans to do next? I can recommend one or two for you." The middle-aged man asked with a smile.

"Not for now, I have other things to deal with." Shen Luo shook his head and said.

Although the rewards for the ghost-hunting mission issued by the government are generous, firstly, he has no shortage of immortal jade for the time being, and secondly, his cultivation level is too low. It is safe to practice while waiting for the call from the horse face.

According to his speculation, most of the errands that Haunting Horse Face has to do are also ghosts that the government wants to drive away, and the two do not conflict.

A look of disappointment flashed across the middle-aged man's face, but he said nothing, and quickly left.

"The Bai family seems to want us guests to do more missions. It seems that the exorcism mission issued by the government this time may involve some other things." Shen Luo returned to the house, secretly guessing in his heart.

But these things had little to do with him, and he didn't think too much about it. Looking at the jade box in his hand, a smile appeared on his face again.

"The fire lin wood as the main material has been obtained. In addition to finding a spiritual fire that can match the main material, as long as we gather a few other auxiliary materials, we can try to refine the pure Yang sword embryo."

It's a pity that the spirit fire is hard to find, and the other auxiliary materials are also difficult to gather. He has entrusted the shopkeeper Ma to take care of it for him, but there is still no news.

Shen Luo shook his head, put the jade box into the stone box, and planned to continue practicing.

At this moment, he only felt a heat in his waist, and took out something from his arms, which was the summoning card that Ma Mian gave him.

"It's coming so soon! It seems that the ghosts in Jianye will not be eradicated, so I don't want to cultivate with peace of mind." Shen Luo muttered to himself, and then carefully looked at the things in his hand.

I saw that the side of the dharma tablet inscribed with runes became as black as ink, and a line of small white characters emerged on it:

Come to Liugong Bridge after nightfall.

"Liugong Bridge, it seems to be in the west of the city." Shen Luo's eyes flickered slightly, and he muttered to himself.

It is said that this bridge has a long history, and it was named after Mr. Liu Gong, a great Confucian scholar in the previous dynasty. Before Bai Xiaotian led him to play around Jianye City, he had been there before, so he had a certain impression.

"I remember seeing this place name on the list." After thinking about it, he got up and went to the account room.

At this time, the setting sun was approaching, and most of the guest qings who had gone out to carry out the executors did not come back, only three or two were here, as for the others, they were all the children of the Bai family, who came to watch the excitement.

Shen Luo came to the front of the crowd, looked at the task list, and quickly browsed through it.

"really!"

His eyes stopped at a certain place on the list, and the corresponding task location was near the Liugong Bridge. The content was that a deserted temple near the ancient bridge was haunted by ghosts at night, and many passers-by had been injured.

The reward for this task is immortal jade, which is as much as 30 yuan. It is one of the tasks with the heaviest rewards on the list. It seems that the difficulty is probably not small.

"Looks like it's probably right. Since the Bai family also has this mission, it's not for nothing." Shen Luo's eyes fell on the mission of Liu Gongqiao, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Have you heard? It is said that a dozen people from Lin and Du's family went to do the task of Liugong Bridge yesterday. It is said that a few people died directly after just a face-to-face meeting. Although the others fled back, they were also seriously injured. Ah." Just as Shen Luo was about to turn around, he heard someone talking.

"Everyone, do you know the details of the fight between the Lin and Du families and the ghosts yesterday?" Shen Luo stopped and asked.

"What? Do you want to do this task?" A guest minister next to him raised his eyebrows and asked.

Seeing that he looked unhappy, Shen Luo also lost interest, smiled noncommittally, turned and left.

"Isn't it because I was lucky enough to complete the task in Hongye Town, so I thought I was so powerful, and I didn't know how to live or die." Seeing him turn and leave, the man spat lightly and said.

"Oh, you can't say that, I think he still has some strength."
