big dream master

With a flash of white shadow, the long-tongued ghost figure appeared above his head out of thin air, and the two ghost claws rushed down again.

However, at this moment, Shen Luo's figure suddenly disappeared out of thin air, making the long-tongued ghost once again catch the air.

The Long Tongue Ghost froze, his raised eyes swept towards the place where Shen Luo disappeared.

There was a big hole in the floor where Shen Luo was standing just now, and it turned out that he fell from here to the next floor.

The long-tongued ghost let out a low growl, and flung himself towards the big hole.

At the same time, Shen Luo fell heavily on the ground of the first floor of the gray tower building, his body was hurting from the fall, but his face showed a hint of joy.

He finally got a ray of respite!

Before he could get up, he waved his hand towards the hollow above without saying a word.

The black light of the ghost whistling ring tightly clasped on the right hand suddenly lit up, and the black ghost head appeared out of thin air and solidified quickly, then opened its mouth wide, and a black sound wave flew out, covering the long-tongued ghost that just flew down.

The long-tongue ghost's body was shocked and flew backwards, his whole body was covered by black sound waves, and his body collapsed like smoke.

But he quickly stabilized his figure, let out a sharp whistle, and a large white mist gushed out from his body. After interlacing with the black sound waves and flickering, the black sound waves first condensed and then disappeared in a flash.

Not only that, an extremely cold breath leaked out from the mist, centering on it, a layer of white frost began to emerge on the first floor of the gray tower.

The two zombie monks also jumped down from the big hole in the floor at this moment, but unfortunately, they were covered by the extremely cold breath, and a layer of frost appeared on their bodies, and they fell to the ground, unable to move.

Shen Luo only felt that the temperature around him plummeted, and his body quickly became stiff, while the long-tongued ghost turned into a blurred white shadow again at this time, pounced on it, its claws flashed coldly, and its blood-colored long tongue stood out like a sharp sword rise.

Shen Luo knew that it was too late to climb up and escape from the first floor. In desperation, he raised his other hand holding the black talisman, and the mana in his body was poured into it crazily, and then a black light flashed in his palm.

The black talisman ignited spontaneously without fire.

A black spider web several feet in size appeared out of thin air, blocking in front of him, and the long-tongued ghost was not in a hurry, and plunged in.

Without waiting for this beast to make another move, the big net was tightened suddenly, like a fish in a net, and the long-tongued ghost was engulfed in it.

The long-tongued ghost struggled, and the white mist around him also began to invade the black net. A layer of hoarfrost quickly condensed on the surface of the net, showing faint signs of collapse.

"Senior Ma Facing!" Shen Luo stepped back quickly and shouted loudly.

"I'm coming too!"

A voice suddenly sounded, and Shen Luo only felt a flash of space in front of him, and a figure with a horse face appeared in a flash, and he drew it with one hand.

The black pen he had used before appeared out of thin air, swelled several times in the wind, turned into a huge black pen several feet in size, and shot towards the long-tongued ghost.

The long-tongued ghost's protruding eyes were full of panic, and the white mist around him didn't care about invading the black net, and immediately rolled upwards, turning into a layer of white shield several feet thick, blocking the top of his head.

The huge black pen landed on the white shield, and there was a muffled "bang", and the thick shield burst open, completely vulnerable to a single blow.

The falling speed of the huge pen did not slow down, and it directly hit the top of the long-tongued ghost's head, flashing from top to bottom.

With a sound of "噗嗤", the long-tongued ghost's body burst open, turning into countless white air, and a white thing fell down, but it was half a white brocade handkerchief, which happened to land at Shen Luo's feet.

Strong Yin Qi emanated from the white Jinpan, far ahead of the water ghost's red remnant sleeve.

Shen Luo was a little stunned, the strength of this long-tongued ghost was still higher than that of the red-clothed female ghost on the river before, and it was killed so easily.

Then he let out a long breath, stretched out his hand to pick up the white brocade handkerchief, and looked it up in front of his eyes.

With a wave of the soul-hunting horse face, the huge black pen quickly shrank, and it returned to its previous size in a blink of an eye, and fell into his hand. Then Shi Shiran turned around, looked at Shen Luo with a smile, and said:

"The boy did a good job!"

"It's a good thing you came in time, otherwise you wouldn't have seen me." Shen Luo struggled to get up from the ground, only feeling a little pain in his body, especially his right leg, which was still icy cold.

"This hanged ghost has actually been eyeing you since you first entered the monastery, and didn't attack until you got here. If it had noticed my breath before, it would have run away immediately. I had no choice but to do it. "Hooking Mamian said with a little apology, and at the same time raised his hand to grab the void at Shen Luo's right leg, a layer of black light glowed in his palm.

When Shen Luo heard that the ghost had followed him all the way, he felt chills behind his back, his heart was pounding, and he was terrified all the time.

If it weren't for the special environment here, he probably wouldn't have had the chance to cast the black talisman at all. In other words, if the long-tongued ghost made a move ahead of time, he would be in serious trouble. Even though the horse face might be nearby, it might not be in time to rescue him.

Because of the strange dreams brought by the jade pillow, he is no longer a novice cultivator who has never experienced ghosts, but it is the first time in real life that he has been so close to death.

"The cultivation base is still too low, and the strength is not enough!"

Just as Shen Luo's thoughts were spinning wildly, he felt that the cold air in his right leg was suddenly pulled away by an invisible force, and the numbness subsided, and he gradually regained consciousness.

After a long while, the black light in the palm of the hand outstretched by the soul-hunting horse faded away, and the palm was retracted.

Shen Luo hurriedly moved his right leg, feeling that it was completely fine, so he was relieved.

"Thank you, senior." He thanked, put the white brocade handkerchief in his hand into a jade box, and put it in his sleeve.

Chapter 0247 Someone else

At this moment, the layer of frost on the ground quickly melted and subsided, and the two zombie monks also resumed their movements, tremblingly getting up from the ground, but they didn't rush forward and stood there dumbfounded.

"Senior Ma Facing, what's the matter with these two monks? I didn't feel the yin energy on them before." Shen Luo asked.

"This is a corpse with a yin heart. After a ghost kills a person, it injects yin qi into its heart. If the yin qi is not triggered, the corpse will be no different from an ordinary person. As long as the yin qi is triggered, the corpse will transform into a zombie." It's just that this kind of sinister corpse is not strong because of the lack of Yin Qi in its body." Hooking Mamian waved the black pen in his hand, and tapped it twice.

Boom!

Two blood holes exploded in the chests of the two monks, their hearts shattered, and they fell to the ground again, completely motionless.

The two didn't stay in the monastery much, and left soon.

"It's hard work for you this time, go back and have a good rest first, and I will call you out again when needed." On the Liugong Bridge, the Haunted Horse said to Shen Luo, and disappeared in a flash, leaving in a rather hasty manner.

"If I'm still risking my life like today, I'll have to weigh it up." Shen Luo shrugged and murmured to himself, but when he thought of the Thirty Immortal Jade that was about to arrive, he still couldn't help but be secretly delighted. , I feel that the previous adventures are worthwhile.

He hurried all the way east, quickly entered the city and returned to the White Mansion.

It was just after midnight, but Shen Luo felt that he was exhausted, so he didn't pay the task immediately, and went straight back to his residence, took a little rest, then sat in the wooden barrel, closed his eyes and moved Wuming. Fajue, recover.

The night passed in a blink of an eye.

Shen Luo got up early in the morning, walked out of his small courtyard full of energy, and came to the accountant of the White Mansion.

Fewer people came to hand over tasks today than the day before. Most of the tasks were difficult and could not be completed in a short period of time. However, there were very few people like Shen Luo who could complete a task in a day.

So most of the people gathered here are actually here to watch the excitement.

"Have you heard? Last night, the Lin and Du families organized a lot of people to go to the Liugong Bridge. This time, both sides were led by bigu monks. Qi Yuan, the blue ice player of the Du family, also went. As a result, you Guess what?" One of the youths who looked a little smart suddenly said to the others, which immediately attracted the attention of many people.

"I'm afraid that ghost is going to be punished now?"

"I don't think so. It is said that the hanged ghost lurking in the temple is very cunning. If there are too many people going there, it will not show up at all, and then it will only pick on the single ones!"

"This ghost has only a few tricks. Those two families have learned from the past, so they should prepare some tricks when they go again!"

"Hehe, the hanged ghost was indeed killed, but it was not done by them, but someone else." The clever young man said mysteriously.

"What, true or false?"

"What Lan Bingshou said can be false! It is said that they found traces of the ghost being destroyed in that deserted temple. In addition, according to their estimates, the method of killing the ghost is clean and neat, and it is likely that only one person Why!" said the clever boy.

"The ability to kill this beast so easily, could it be the work of the great cultivator in the late stage of Bigu?"

"There are only a few late-stage bigu monks in a radius of a hundred miles, and they are all famous people for a long time. They shouldn't come out to take on this kind of mission, right?"

While everyone was discussing, Shen Luo had already walked to the mission table, took out the half white brocade handkerchief from his sleeve robe, and put it on the table.

At this time, there was only a steward of the Bai family sitting behind the table, and he was listening to the information announced by the clever young man with relish, and he didn't pay attention to the sinking in front of him for a while.

"Excuse me, Liu Gongqiao mission is complete." Shen Luo cleared his throat and said to the steward.

"Oh, hand in the task, right..." The steward hadn't gotten his thoughts out of the youth's story, casually picked up the half of the brocade handkerchief, and said casually.

It's just that he reacted very quickly, his complexion changed suddenly, and he exclaimed in surprise:

"What did you say? Liu Gongqiao mission?"

"That's right." Shen Luo nodded.

The steward of the Bai family looked at the half brocade handkerchief in his hand, then looked up at Shen Luo, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

The crowd around the table also fell silent, all staring at Shen Luo, this scene quickly attracted the attention of others, and those people also stopped making noise, and asked in low voices what happened.

But after a few breaths, the accounting room fell into silence.

Everyone looked at Shen Luo with complicated eyes, especially those who had ridiculed Shen Luo a few days ago, they all found it hard to accept at the moment.

Did Shen Luo really complete this difficult task?

If it was not long ago, perhaps no one would have believed that someone would single-handedly kill a ghost whose cultivation might have reached the mid-bigu stage, but with the words of that clever young man, they did not dare to draw conclusions easily.

Especially when they saw the strong yin energy emanating from the half brocade handkerchief that Shen Luo handed over, several people believed it on the spot.

"You can send someone to verify it, and if you have the result, just send the reward to my residence." Shen Luo frowned, and said to the stunned steward behind the table, then turned and left quickly without waiting for a response.

It wasn't until Shen Luo walked away that everyone came to their senses, and there was an uproar as if a pot had exploded.

Shen Luo didn't pay attention to the reactions of the people in the accounting room, and didn't return to his residence. Instead, he went directly to the Lubao Hall, purchased a large number of materials for drawing the small thunder talisman, and then returned to the small courtyard.

Although the power of this talisman is very limited, the advantage is that the materials are cheap and the requirement for mana is extremely low. When facing the enemy, as long as the number is enough, the power is not bad.

He has free time right now, so he naturally needs to make more preparations for emergencies.

In the blink of an eye, five days passed.

During this period, except for Shen Luo who opened the door once when the steward of the Bai family delivered the Liugongqiao mission reward, the rest of the time stayed in the room behind closed doors, and it was considered a relatively peaceful time.

In the wooden barrel, Shen Luo closed his eyes and sat cross-legged, holding on to the formula in his hand, the blue light all over his body was faint, brighter than before.

Suddenly he twitched his eyebrows, opened his eyes, and took out the summoning card from his pocket, on which a line of small characters appeared.

"At midnight, Wuyan Village."

"Wuyan Village is also on the list, and it looks like it can make a fortune again!" Shen Luo muttered to himself, and jumped out of the bucket.

After changing into clean clothes and putting on all the talismans, he left the house and walked quickly towards the gate of Bai's house, and immediately left the city towards Wuyan Village.

When Shen Luo returned from outside the city two days later, he also brought back an old leather helmet stained with blood, which once again caused an uproar in the Bai family.

Afterwards, he kept this way. Whenever the horse face was called, he would go to help, and when there was no task, he would return to his small courtyard to practice drawing talismans.

Chapter 0248 Desperate

In just one month, with the help of the strong east wind of the Haunting Horse Face, he completed six or seven tasks one after another, most of them were ghosts above the bigu stage, and the number was often more than one, because it was relatively easy to get to the back. The task has been completed long ago, and the rest are naturally some hard nuts to crack.

Although the cooperation between him and the Haunting Horse Face was relatively secret, over time, some clues were naturally discovered, and it began to spread that there was a master behind him to help him, and that was why he often leapfrogged to complete tasks so smoothly.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with this point. With his mere mid-stage qi refining, how could he really be able to fight many ghosts that far surpassed his own cultivation, so he didn't give any explanation for this.

In any case, he was the one who was completing the task on the surface, and with such a high completion rate, Shen Luo's reputation not only spread throughout the Bai family, but also gradually became famous among the Lin and Du families.

……

In a study room in the inner courtyard of the White Mansion, Bai Hecheng, who was wearing a navy blue robe, was sitting behind the desk, listening to Bai Jiangfeng's report with a serious face, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

"Patriarch, the number of tasks completed by our Bai family has already steadily surpassed that of the Lin family and the Du family. As far as any family is concerned, it cannot match us. It's just that the Lin family seems to have started to spend a lot of money recently. I don't know where to spend the high price. Borrowing a few casual practitioners and helping me complete a few tasks has greatly narrowed the gap between us." Bai Jiangfeng said standing opposite the desk.

"When you look at the Lin family, you can't just look at it alone. The Du family has secretly communicated with the Lin family over the years. I am afraid that this time it is also wearing a pair of pants. We must guard against the complete alliance between the Du family and the Lin family and transfer some of them. Give merit points to the Lin family, otherwise we may be caught off guard." Baihecheng said after a moment of pondering.

"What the head of the family said is true, and I am also worried about it. Those guests of the Du family only need to declare that they are doing things for the Lin family, and then all the merit points will fall into the pockets of the Lin family, surpassing our Bai family. It's possible." Bai Jiangfeng said with deep conviction.

"Third Uncle, let's go on, we will also increase the rewards, and encourage the guests at home to do as much as possible to accept more tasks. In addition, I will also send a letter to Jiang Daochang from the Wuhuamen to see if I can invite him The inner elders came to help." Bai Hecheng said after thinking for a moment.

"There are fewer and fewer tasks on the list, and we don't have much time left. I'm afraid we won't be able to quench our thirst." Bai Jiangfeng responded, turned around and was about to leave.

"Can someone from Lin and Du's family take care of the task of hiding the Wind Valley in the southern outskirts of the city?" Baihecheng called Bai Jiangfeng to stop, and asked suddenly.

"This mission is too dangerous. It ranks first in difficulty among all missions. The merit points recorded by the government are also the highest, which is almost equal to the sum of the rewards of the following major missions. Although the Lin and Du families have intentions, they dare not take this risk. " Bai Jiangfeng replied.

"As long as this task can be completed, even if the Lin and Du families unite together, the merit points they can gain will not be able to surpass us, right?" Baihecheng asked with a raised brow.

"Including the tasks we have already completed, they will no longer be able to win... Patriarch, are you planning to take over the task of Hidden Wind Valley?" Bai Jiangfeng said hesitantly.

"No matter what, our Bai family cannot lose to the Lin family." Bai Hecheng said word by word.

"Patriarch, the situation in Zangfeng Valley is complicated. I'm afraid it will not be easy to complete this task. I'm afraid there will be a lot of damage." Bai Jiangfeng hesitated.

"The government made this ghost removal task list this time, one is to stabilize the situation that has become more and more unstable recently, and the other is to see the background of each family in the city. The benefits of the winner are definitely not just the things on the surface. So don't be afraid of losses, as long as you win, you will make up for it." Baihecheng said.

"It's still the Patriarch who thinks carefully." Bai Jiangfeng nodded and said.

"Third Uncle's concerns are not unreasonable. We must plan well and minimize losses, so that we can fight big with small things. Regarding the candidates for this mission, what does Uncle San think?" Bai Hecheng asked again.

Bai Jiangfeng thought for a moment, and reported the names of several people. Baihecheng had heard of them and nodded in agreement.

"It's best to bring Shen Luo with you on this mission." At the end, Bai Jiangfeng said again.

"Shen Luo... I've also heard that he has performed very well recently, there must be someone behind him helping him. After all, his own cultivation level is still a bit low, and if he enters Hidden Wind Valley, the risk of falling is not small." Bai He Cheng hesitated.
