big dream master

……

Those three or two guest ministers started the conversation, and the onlookers also started discussing, with more doubts than praises in their words.

Shen Luo listened to all kinds of discussions coming from behind, didn't pay much attention, and went straight back to the residence.

It was almost evening now.

He took out the communication card, glanced at it, paused for a moment, then held the card, channeled mana into it, but the black card didn't respond.

He didn't give up, and tried to refine the card with the Nine-Nine Tong Jue, but the black magic card still didn't change.

"It seems that this thing needs a special method to open it." Shen Luo reluctantly gave up trying, put away the magic card, then took the storage stone box, took out all the talismans inside, and counted it carefully again.

The ghosts this time are obviously difficult to deal with. Although there is a horse face in the lead, I must do enough preparations.

Some time ago, I drew a lot of small thunder talismans, and used about half of them in Hongye Town. Now there are more than forty pieces left, in addition to five ghost talismans, and two thunderbolt talismans.

"After this task is finished, it seems that I have to draw some more." Shen Luo thought to himself, and carefully put these talismans in his sleeve where they were easy to get.

After he left the courtyard, he jumped over the wall and left the White Mansion without going through the gate, then headed straight to the west of the city, and soon came to a small river.

There is a quaint stone bridge on the small river, and two rows of tall evergreen trees are planted on both sides of the river bank. Although it is late autumn, the leaves are still dense, making the ancient bridge look very dark and deep here.

There is no moon in the sky today, because of ghosts, most of the people in the city are hiding at home after dark today, and there is not even a dog here on the ancient bridge. It's kind of scary.

He looked around for a few times, silently remembering the surrounding environment in his heart, but when he turned his head to look at the ancient bridge again, he couldn't help being shocked, and saw an extra one on the ancient bridge. White figure.

"I said Senior Ma Facing, since you arrived, why didn't you say hello? It's too scary to be so elusive." Shen Luo couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the appearance of the visitor, and complained.

"Don't talk nonsense, come with me."

The soul-hunting horse said to Shen Luo, then turned around and walked towards the opposite side of the ancient bridge.

Shen Luo curled his lips and had no choice but to step up and follow.

The area opposite the Liugong Bridge was not inhabited by ordinary people, it was quite desolate, only a dilapidated temple stood here alone, surrounded by weeds as tall as half a person.

Hooking Horse Face and Shen Luo just crossed the bridge one after the other and headed towards the temple.

Chapter 0244 Desolate Temple

At a distance of twenty or thirty feet from the temple, Ma Mian's footsteps suddenly stopped.

"Senior Ma Facing, the ghost we are going to deal with is in this temple, right?" Shen Luo also stopped, looked at the temple not far away, and asked.

Hooking Horse Face didn't turn around or speak, but just nodded.

"Then why didn't you leave? Could it be that the ghosts in this temple are troublesome?" Although Shen Luo said so, he was not very worried.

According to previous observations at Zhenhuai Bridge, although the cultivation level of the horse-faced horse face today cannot be compared with that of a thousand years later, it is at least in the later stage of bigu. Fu Gui, as long as the ghosts in this temple have not reached the soul-condensing stage, there should be no problem.

"It's just a bigu stage ghost. It's just that this beast has developed some intelligence and is good at hiding. Once it senses me approaching, it can't escape immediately. I also have some headaches, so I asked you to help me." Turning around, he gave Shen Luo a meaningful look.

"Hey! Could it be that you want me to lure it out? It may not be very powerful for you, but it's different for me. I only have the Qi refining period!" Shen Luo couldn't help but shouted.

"Why are you so anxious before I finish talking! Listen, you go into the temple first, draw that ghost out, and when it gets close to you, activate this talisman to temporarily trap it, and I will immediately show up and strike it Kill." The soul-hunting horse turned pale, took out a black talisman from his bosom, and handed it over.

A spider web-like pattern was painted on the talisman, exuding a faint wave of mana.

"Aren't you still using me as a bait? What if the talisman doesn't work at that time, or if the ghost is not trapped and you show up a while later, then I will be in danger! Otherwise , what more self-defense can you give me?" Shen Luo took the black talisman and muttered.

"Don't think that I don't know the situation in the mortal world because I'm a errand. You have accepted the task of the government, right? A ghost in the bigu period, the reward is indispensable! There is a saying in the mortal world called wealth and wealth. If you want rewards, don't How about taking some risks?" Hooking Mamian snorted and said angrily.

"Okay, then you must hurry up!" Seeing this situation, Shen Luo could only bite the bullet and agree.

"Don't worry." After Hooking Mamian finished speaking, his figure flickered and disappeared without a trace like melting into the air.

Shen Luo took a deep breath, stuck a ghost exorcising talisman on his chest, then squeezed the black talisman tightly with one hand, and took out the ghost whistling ring to block in front of him with the other hand, before walking forward.

This distance does not seem to be long, but he seems to have walked through thousands of mountains and rivers. He almost stops at three steps and rests at five steps. It popped up all of a sudden, and I didn't have time to react, and Ma Mian didn't have time to show up.

This is a real ghost in the bigu period, which is different from the female ghost at the peak of the qi refining period that I dealt with not long ago. If you are not careful, you will not be able to eat and walk around.

And judging from the amount of rewards, this ghost is probably not just as simple as the early days of Bigu, otherwise the Lindu family would not have dispatched more than a dozen people and suffered heavy casualties. Can stop the opponent.

Even if he had the Lightning Falling Talisman, he might not be able to guarantee that he could hit the opponent with one blow. Besides, it was his trump card, so he didn't want to use it casually.

Just when Shen Luo was thinking wildly and was able to walk a distance of seventeen or eighty feet, suddenly a gust of night wind blew past, making the weeds at the gate of the temple rustle.

Shen Luo's heart shuddered, and he quickly raised the black talisman and ghost howling ring in his hand at the same time, aiming at the grass in front of him, but after waiting for a long time, the weeds in front of him didn't look strange at all, it was just a false alarm.

"Forget it, it's a blessing, not a curse. It's a disaster that can't be avoided. Fight it!" Shen Luo wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, gathered himself together, and then took a breath and walked forward quickly. to the gate of the temple.

The entrance gate of this temple is very wide, and two gates that are about to collapse hang obliquely there, dangling.

Shen Luo raised his hand and pushed, there was a loud bang, the door swung a few times, but it didn't open, it seemed to be locked inside.

He was about to increase his strength, but a voice came from inside: "I don't know who is coming?"

Shen Luo was startled when he heard the words, didn't it mean that there are ghosts hiding here, many people have died, why is there someone inside?

While thinking about it, he clenched the ghost howling ring tightly and did not speak.

There was a sound of footsteps approaching from inside, the door was opened with a creak, and a monk wearing a yellow robe appeared inside. He looked only in his early twenties, very young, but his expression was a little dull, he looked at him with sinking eyes, and asked :

"This is the benefactor?"

"As far as I know, this temple has long been abandoned, and there are no monks staying here, and there have been ghosts entrenched here recently, how dare you stay here, are you not afraid of death?" Shen Luo also looked at the young monk and confirmed After the other party had no ghost aura but was alive, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked in a deep voice.

"Haunted, haunted? I just came to Jianye City yesterday, and I have placed orders in this desolate temple. I have never heard of ghosts here." The young monk said in a panic.

"The Immortal Master of the Bai family in Jianye came here to collect ghosts by the order of the government. If you want to die, get out of here quickly." Shen Luo frowned and said again.

"So it's Lord Immortal Master. I'll go and call the two senior brothers and leave here immediately..." The young monk saluted him after hearing this, then turned and ran away.

Shen Luo also ignored him, and stepped into the temple on his own, maybe because he saw a living person, he felt a little relieved in his heart.

From here, you can see that there is an open space similar to a square and a lotus pond that has already dried up. The road leading to the Temple of Heavenly Kings has long been covered with various weeds. The far place is covered and can't be seen clearly, but from the corner of the eaves and hall that is looming in the distance, the area of ​​the temple is not small.

Shen Luo paused at the door for a while, then stepped into the temple.

He stood in front of the square and looked around for a few times, but he didn't feel the ghost's breath, so he couldn't help frowning, wondering how to lure the ghost out.

Make some noise to attract the other party's attention?

He quickly shook his head and rejected this idea. With the wisdom and cunning of this ghost, if the other party felt that he was deliberately setting a trap, he might not come out.

The best way is to pretend to be an ordinary seeker and lure the other party to the bait.

Chapter 0245 The Ancient Pagoda in the Temple

Thinking of this, Shen Luo stepped into the Heavenly King Hall directly in front of him. Inside the hall stood a dilapidated Buddha statue. The left and right sides should have been guarded by the Four Heavenly Kings, but there was only a pile of rubble left. The ground was covered with dust, and the roof was covered with dust. And there are many spider webs hanging on the wall, which looks like it has been abandoned for many years.

He walked around the hall and found nothing unusual, so he turned and left, and entered the bell tower on one side.

Soon, Shen Luo checked all the buildings in the first courtyard, inside and out, but there was nothing abnormal, and the ghost did not appear.

He didn't stop here, and continued to walk deep into the temple along the aisle on the side of the square.

A moment later, Shen Luo walked out of the relatively well-preserved Daxiong Palace, his face was as usual, but there was a hint of doubt in his eyes.

He had already searched almost all of the second courtyard, which was the core area of ​​the temple, and found not even a trace of ghost spirit, let alone ghosts.

Not only that, but there was no trace of battle anywhere in the temple. If he hadn't heard about the matter of Lin and Du's guest ministers yesterday in advance, he would have thought that no one had been here at all.

"Could it be that the ghost has already noticed the ecstasy of the horse's face, and has been hiding for a long time? But the horse's face has expected this, and it won't be exposed so easily." Shen Luo secretly guessed in his heart.

"Forget it, don't think about it so much, I will do my own thing well, as for whether the ghost will appear or not, I will leave it to fate." He secretly said in his heart, bypassing the main hall and continuing to walk towards the depths of the temple, where there are still a few last ones. The building has not been explored, it should be places like dharma halls, scripture halls, and meditation rooms.

There was a sound of hurried footsteps coming from the front, and two monks in yellow robes ran over, one of them was the young monk who opened the door for him, and the other monk was older, about 40 or [-] years old.

"Master Immortal, help!" The two were full of panic, seeing Shen Luo, the young monk shouted and rushed over.

"What happened? Why haven't you left yet?" Shen Luo frowned slightly.

"We were planning to leave, but when we passed a gray pagoda in front of us, there was a woman crying inside. A senior monk, a senior monk, suddenly stopped and walked towards the pagoda. No matter how much we shouted and dragged him, he didn't stop. Senior, the ghost you mentioned may be there, I implore the immortal master to subdue that ghost and save my brother." The young monk said, clasping his hands together and saluting.

"I implore the immortal master." Another middle-aged monk also bowed and said, looking quite calm.

"Oh, take me to have a look." Shen Luo said with a chill when he heard the words.

"Fairy Master, please come with us." Seeing Shen Luo agreeing, the two monks breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately led the way ahead.

The three moved forward, and soon came to the last courtyard, and a three-story gray tower building appeared in front of them.

There is nothing unusual about this gray tower. The top of the tower has been broken in half, the walls of the tower are peeled off in many places, and the tower body seems to be a little tilted.

Shen Luo stood on the spot and listened carefully, but he didn't find the woman crying that the young monk said, only a gray pagoda stood quietly in the night.

"This is it." The young monk looked at the gray tower and said.

Shen Luo sized up the tower and stepped forward.

"Master Immortal, we will go with you." The two monks followed.

"Aren't you afraid?" Shen Luo glanced at the two of them.

"Of course I'm afraid, it's just that our senior brother is inside, how can we let Mr. Xianshi take risks alone." The young monk said so.

"As you like." Shen Luo didn't stop the two of them, and stepped into the tower.

The situation inside the pagoda was similar to that of the main hall investigated before, with dust everywhere. There were two smaller Buddha statues here, one of which was broken and the other fell to the ground.

He glanced around a few times, stepped on the stairs in the tower, and stepped on the second floor of the gray tower amidst creaking noises.

The situation on the second floor is similar to that on the first floor. There are also two statues here, which are more complete than the statue below and stand upright there. Apart from that, there is nothing special about it.

And the stairs leading to the third floor have collapsed, and I can't go up. Even if I can go up, the whole third floor has collapsed a lot, and I can't stand on it.

In fact, there are several large holes in the ground here on the second floor, and it creaks and creaks when stepped on, as if it might collapse at any time.

Shen Luo was thinking about whether to find a way to go up and have a look.

"Are you looking for me?" An erratic voice suddenly came from behind him.

The sound hit his ears, and Shen Luo's whole body froze immediately, his skin tightened, and all the pores of his body stood up.

He turned around like lightning, raised his hands, and subconsciously activated the talisman in his hand, but there was nothing behind him, nothing.

Seeing this scene, Shen Luo couldn't help being startled.

But at this moment, two big blue and black hands reached out from behind and pressed on his shoulders.

At the same time, his waist tightened, and two big black hands stretched out and hugged them tightly. It was the two monks who were following him.

At some point, the two of them turned into black-faced zombies, their bloody mouths dripping with yellow mucus opened wide, biting towards Shen Luo.

He was shocked in his heart, but he didn't panic, his expression became stern in an instant, he took a deep breath, and there was a crackling noise in his body.

His body abruptly and abruptly shrunk by more than a circle, and then jumped upwards suddenly, like a slippery fish, he broke free from the two pairs of big hands at once, and fell about ten feet away, his face turned pale.

What Shen Luo just performed was a method of shrinking bones in the Huang Ting Jing.

Although he couldn't practice the Huang Ting Jing in reality, but in the dream he had cultivated this exercise to the level of great accomplishment, and he could barely use some simple physical skills.

It's just that his real body has not been tempered by the Huang Ting Jing, and it is not a small burden to use these methods.

Shen Luo looked up at the two zombie monks who were still in a daze, with a stern look in his eyes, he lifted the hand holding the ghost howling ring, and wanted to give them a blow.

However, at this moment, he only felt the wind in his ear was rushing, and he didn't turn his head in the blink of an eye, but with a thought, his feet were bright white, and he took a step forward.

His figure suddenly became blurred, and flew forward to the left for more than two feet, and when he turned his head to look, he was startled.

I saw that where I was originally standing, there was a white and misty figure with disheveled hair, blue-purple skin, protruding white eyes, and a long blood-colored tongue protruding from the mouth, hanging down to the waist and abdomen, looking extremely pervasive .

The two arms of this long-tongued monster are bent and stretched forward, and the several-inch-long claws on the ten fingers stretch and shrink indefinitely.

Shen Hou couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat. If he hadn't reacted quickly enough, he might have pierced two transparent holes in his body.

Chapter 0246 The Hanged Ghost

The long-tongued ghost missed a single hit, smiled sinisterly, and its figure turned into a blurred white shadow like smoke, and continued to pounce on Shen Luo.

Shen Luo didn't care about doing anything else, and once again used the oblique moon step to dodge to the side.

As a result, the white ghost image also twisted immediately, following behind him like tarsal maggots, and the two zombie monks also rushed over, chasing him until he had no way to go to the sky and no way to go to the ground. Yuebu was able to keep a short distance away from him, and he didn't have any spare time, let alone the chance to urge the black talisman and ghost howling ring in his hand.

The long-tongued ghost even grabbed a few handfuls, but failed to catch Shen Luo. Suddenly, the drooping long tongue was lifted straight up, like a red crossbow bolt flashing behind Shen Luo.

Shen Luo only felt that the pores on his back stood upright, and he used his oblique moon steps to dodge with all his strength, but he still couldn't dodge completely. His right leg was hit by his long tongue. It was cold for a while, and then he lost all consciousness. His flexible figure Also followed by a stagnation.

His heart skipped a beat, his eyes swept quickly, and at the same time, his left leg kicked the ground vigorously, and his figure moved sideways to the right.
