big dream master

After finishing speaking, he stuck out his tongue at his lady apologetically.

"Cousin, if you're busy, then you don't have to, it's okay." Nie Caizhu said.

"Not busy, not busy, I'll go with you." Shen Luo shook his head immediately after hearing the words, and said.

Shen Luo suddenly realized that he had only been focusing on cultivation these days, but he had forgotten that there was a fiancée who came all the way to look for him at home, so he felt a little guilty.

"Then I'll have to work." Nie Caizhu said with a bow.

The three of them immediately left the gate of the mansion, drove out of the city in a carriage, and headed for Yuanzhu Temple.

After the last riot, the guards outside Chunhua County had significantly increased, and law and order had returned to normal.

The number of people who went to Yuanzhu Temple to offer incense also increased again.

Shen Luo and his group started late, and when they arrived at Yuanzhu Temple, it was already past the time for pilgrims to compete for the first stick of incense, and people in the temple had already left one after another.

Nie Caizhu brought Xiaochun into the temple to burn incense, Shen Luo was born in the Spring and Autumn Temple, and belonged to the orthodox tradition, so it was inconvenient to enter the temple to pay homage, so she wandered around the temple alone to enjoy the scenery and waited for them.

The Yuanzhu Temple has been established for many years, and after several repairs, it is quite different from the appearance in Shen Luo's memory. Although he came here last time, it was to save people, and he didn't pay attention to the changes in the temple at all.

The surrounding buildings and walls are all bright yellow, there is still snow on the top of the wall, and the six-character mantra of Buddhism is written on the wall. From time to time, the sound of monks chanting sutras can be heard, and the air is also filled with a faint Incense smell.

Shen Luo also felt quiet and serene while walking.

"Appeared, appeared again..."

"Buddha light, look over there, it's Buddha light..."

……

At this moment, bursts of noisy sounds suddenly came from all over the temple.

Shen Luo was unknown, so he hurried back to the square in front of the Daxiong Palace, and saw many monks coming out of the main hall one after another, clasping their hands together, chanting the Buddha's name, and praying to the sky.

He looked in the direction where everyone was praying, and saw a faint purple light shining in the sky behind the monastery, smudged the clouds above into purple, and it really looked like a precious light.

At this time, Nie Caizhu and Xiaochun also came out of the hall, looked at the miraculous scene in mid-air, and prayed together.

Shen Luo looked at the light, but suddenly wrinkled his nose, and smelled an unusual and strange fragrance in the air.

This smell is mixed in the incense of the temple, and it is not very prominent, but the moment Shen Luo smells it, he feels a slight psychedelic in the sea of ​​consciousness, but it is not uncomfortable, but rather comfortable.

Shen Luo turned his gaze to the others, and seeing that they also had a relaxed look on their faces, he felt a little strange.

But just as he followed the scent wafting towards the backyard of the monastery, passed through several corridors, and arrived near the Guanyin Hall, the strange scent suddenly dissipated.

Shen Luo was wondering, when he looked up, the purple precious light above the temple had also disappeared.

He frowned slightly, and looked around carefully again, but found nothing unusual, so he had to return to the square over there.

The monks on the square had already returned to the main hall, but there were still some pilgrims who were still unsatisfied, talking about the "miracle" that had just appeared briefly.

"Cousin, where were you just now? Did you see the miracle of the Buddha's light?" Seeing Shen Luo returning, Nie Caizhu greeted her with a little excitement on her pretty face.

"The miracle of the Buddha's light? You mean the purple light in the sky just now?" Shen Luo asked.

"That's right! That is a unique miracle in Yuanzhu Temple. I heard that it only appears once every ten years. I have been here for such a long time, but I have never seen it. I never thought that I would be so lucky to walk with you this time. I can see it." Nie Caizhu's brows and eyes were full of joy, obviously very concerned about this.

"My lord, it seems that you are also a person with Buddha's fate." Xiaochun also said happily from the side.

Shen Luo had doubts about the matter of Buddha's light, but he didn't want to spoil Nie Caizhu's mood, so he smiled noncommittally and didn't say much.

"Cousin, why do you believe in Buddhism?" Shen Luo suddenly asked when the three of them walked out.

"Mother, she believes in Buddhism. She taught me Buddhism since childhood to guide people to be good and karma. I also feel that there is something I believe in, which is not a bad thing." Nie Caizhu laughed.

"In that case, it's not bad." Shen Luo nodded and said.

After speaking, the three returned to the county seat by car.

……

When Shen Luo and his party returned to Shen's residence, they saw three luxuriously decorated carriages parked outside the courtyard gate from a distance, and two young men dressed in black with swords hanging from their waists were stationed beside them.

"What's going on here?" Shen Luo thought to himself, and jumped out of the carriage first.

At the door, Uncle Fu was rubbing his hands and looking anxiously towards this side.

"Young master, you are back." Uncle Fu immediately greeted Shen Luo when he saw Shen Luo.

"Fu Bo, what happened?" Shen Luo frowned.

Uncle Fu glanced at Nie Caizhu, who was being helped by Xiaochun to get off the carriage, and said, "It's a member of the Nie family. They chased Miss Nie and came here."

"Uncle Fu, but my father is here?" Nie Caizhu's expression changed slightly when she heard this, she stepped forward and asked.

"From what they say, it's your uncle, but there are others." Uncle Forbe replied.

"Let's go, go and have a look." Shen Luo looked at Nie Caizhu and said.

"Okay." The latter nodded, and the two walked side by side towards the mansion.

Chapter 0291

In the living room of Shen's residence, a middle-aged man with slightly frosted temples and vertical lines between his brows was sitting by the desk on the left, with one hand leaning on the armrest of the chair and the other on the desk beside him, with a natural expression.

Beside him, there was another burly man in a purple robe, who turned his face and looked around, with the corners of his mouth twitching from time to time, as if mocking the poor furnishings around him.

Opposite him, Shen Yuange was sitting upright, with a dignified expression, but he couldn't help but glance at the main seat from time to time.

As the head of the Shen family, he didn't sit at the head seat because that seat had long been taken by a white-haired old woman in a crimson brocade robe.

Just now the group of people showed their identities, and after entering the hall, the old woman sat on the main seat by herself, without saying a word during the whole process, and never looked at Shen Yuange directly.

The old woman was somewhat hunched, and she was holding a purple cane of unknown material in her hand. Her silver hair was neatly tied behind her head and combed into a round bun. Her face was covered with wrinkles like vertical and horizontal ravines. Like a stern old nanny.

It's just that she closed her eyes after sitting down, resting her mind, as if she didn't intend to speak.

At this time, the second lady walked into the hall with tea in person.

Until now, she still doesn't know what the Nie family came to Chunhua County for. They only came here for the marriage of the two families, so the smile on their faces was particularly sincere and enthusiastic.

After serving the tea for everyone, he was about to speak, when he saw Shen Yuange winking at him, immediately sensed that something was wrong in the atmosphere in the hall, and sat back beside Shen Yuange resentfully.

"Brother Shen, I also know that our request is not in accordance with etiquette, but after all, the baby kiss was made by two wives in private. As the heads of each family, neither my brother nor you participated in the agreement, so it is not It can't be regarded as a real marriage contract. As long as you are willing to nod and cancel the marriage contract, our Nie family is willing to offer a thousand taels of gold as compensation to express our apology." At this time, the middle-aged man with vertical lines between his eyebrows said.

Upon hearing this, the second lady's complexion changed obviously, and she looked at Shen Yuange in surprise.

"I am very clear about your reason for coming, but after all, this marriage was decided by Zhuo Jing back then, and now the people who fulfill the contract are my son and Cai Zhu, I really can't make a decision for them, let them decide for themselves." Shen Yuange He frowned deeply and didn't look at her. After hesitating for a moment, he still spoke.

"Marriage has been ordered by parents since ancient times. How can there be any reason for them to make their own decisions? Is Master Shen's words of evasion?" The burly and strong man asked.

"Our marriage contract is the order of our parents. Why do we need to shirk?" A loud voice suddenly came from outside the hall.

Everyone heard the sound and looked outside the door.

Shen Luo and Nie Caizhu both walked towards each other, they were both talented and beautiful, and they walked in unison, they really looked like a couple.

The old woman who was sitting on the main seat and kept her eyes closed, finally opened her eyes at this time, looking at Shen Luo with a cold look in her eyes.

Shen Luo looked at him without fear, and sparks burst out where the eyes met.

"Luo'er, don't be rude, come here and meet some elders." Seeing this, Shen Yuange stood up and said.

Shen Luo retracted his gaze, and cupped his fists at several people with an extremely calm expression.

The burly man and the middle-aged man nodded slightly at Shen Luo, but did not speak, while the old woman sat upright, turning a blind eye to Shen Luo.

"Caizhu met Uncle Huo Kun and Uncle Huo Kun." Nie Caizhu pursed her lips, opened her mouth immediately, and bowed to the two of them respectively.

"This is Grandma Long from the prefect's mansion, come and pay my respects." The middle-aged man calmed down, stood up and said.

Nie Caizhu immediately bowed to the old woman in the chair.

"Nephew is really a good-looking person. Since you are back, I will discuss this matter with you personally." Nie Renbei said.

"Uncle Nie, I have already heard my cousin talk about this matter. The crux of this matter is not whether our Shen family will retire or not, but that Caizhu doesn't like the prefect's second son as a person, and she doesn't want to have a good relationship with him. You guys Why bother to force it?" Shen Luo said, on the way in earlier, he had already learned from Nie Caizhu that this second uncle was named Nie Renbei, and his status in the family was not low, so his opinion basically represented the position of the Nie family. .

"Caizhu and Mr. Ma have only met a few times, so how can she understand him as a person? Besides, in marriage, it is always important to be of a good family. It is also a blessing for Caizhu to marry into the prefect's mansion. Why do you hinder her? "Nie Renbei was obviously displeased, and asked back.

When Shen Luo heard the words, he sneered, how could he not understand that Nie Renbei was saying that their Shen family and Nie's family were not in the same household, and they couldn't afford to be high?

Before Shen Luo could say anything, a sneer suddenly sounded from the main seat.

"Miss Nie's family, I don't know what kind of vision she has, but she actually picked this country boy from the backcountry and looked down on our second young master?" The white-haired old woman, Grandma Long, suddenly knocked on the ground with her cane, and said sarcastically.

As the crutch touched the ground, the entire hall shook.

"Ouch." The second lady exclaimed and knocked down the teacup on the coffee table.

She had already heard that the three people present were of good status, and seeing the good things turn bad, she was shocked and frightened at the moment.

"Sure enough, it's a monk..." Shen Luo raised his hand to hold Nie Caizhu's wrist beside him, his legs were secretly strong, and he stood on the spot as stable as Mount Tai, unaffected by the shock just now.

All the shocks were blocked by Shen Luo, and Nie Caizhu was not affected at all, but when the jade hand fell into Shen Luo's palm, her heart felt inexplicably warm, and her eyes couldn't help but fall on Shen Luo.

Seeing this, Grandma Long narrowed her eyes slightly, and looked at Shen Luo with a murderous look in her eyes.

Seeing this, Huo Kun's expression changed slightly, and he whispered to Nie Renbei:

"It seems that the news I got earlier is correct. This kid is really a practitioner. It seems that his cultivation is not inferior to mine. At least he is in the middle stage of Qi refining. Considering his age, he is already quite good."

Before they came, they had indeed inquired about Shen Luo's news from various sources, and they also knew that he had visited the Spring and Autumn Temple, but they were not clear about Shen Luo's trace after the Spring and Autumn Temple was destroyed.

"Nephew, I heard that your sect has been destroyed, what are your plans for the future?" Nie Renbei asked after a moment of thought.

"The junior has his own arrangements, so I don't need you to worry about them." Shen Luo said immediately.

"Although I don't understand the matter of cultivation, I also know that it is impossible without the help and guidance of the master. If you want, I can use the relationship of the Nie family and even ask the prefect's house to let you enter the immortal family sect in Yunzhou. , What do you think?" Nie Renbei didn't care, and continued to persuade.

Chapter 0292

"If Uncle Nie's words don't have any preconditions, the younger generation will be very grateful. But if the premise is the cousin's marriage, then thank you very much." Shen Luo said directly without hesitation.

Hearing this, Nie Renbei frowned tightly. He felt that he had released the greatest kindness, but the kid in front of him was still not satisfied, and he suddenly became a little angry.

"Caizhu, outsiders don't know the situation of our Nie family. Could it be that you don't know either? This time you escaped marriage privately, and your family has been implicated a lot. Fortunately, the second son pleaded for you, and the prefect didn't blame the Nie family. You really want to only care about your own interests. Disregarding the clan? So you are worthy of your father and the Nie family?" Nie Renbei stopped persuading Shen Luo and turned to Nie Caizhu.

When Nie Caizhu heard this, her face changed immediately, and a look of hesitation flashed in her eyes.

"It's a good one who only cares about self-interest and disregards the clan...Using family justice to oppress a weak woman and force her to marry a person who hates, what is the face of your Nie family? Could it be that the interests of your Nie family are all exchanged for the women in the clan? Here?" Shen Luo angrily reprimanded upon hearing this.

"you……"

Nie Renbei didn't expect Shen Luo to speak like this, and was choked on the spot for a while.

Nie Caizhu also looked at Shen Luo in surprise.

"Caizhu, tell me, are you willing to go back and marry them? As long as you say no, then no one will try to force you today." Shen Luo turned around, stared into her eyes, and said seriously.

Nie Caizhu met his gaze, and seeing the expression on his face, the string in her heart was finally plucked completely.

"I don't want to." After Nie Caizhu yelled this, she suddenly felt much more relaxed.

"You hear me, she doesn't want to!"

Shen Luo felt relieved when he heard the words, a smile appeared on his face, and he turned to look at the crowd.

"What a big tone! A disciple from a small sect that is not even considered a third-rate sect dares to be so arrogant? Don't you really know that the sky is high and the earth is thick?" At this time, Grandma Long suddenly shouted angrily, and slapped It was shot on the desk beside him.

"Snapped!"

There was a loud noise, and the table case did not shatter, but sank under the huge force. The four table legs directly pierced the stone slabs laid in the hall, and penetrated deeply into the ground.

Everyone present was startled, and the second lady wailed and almost fell off the chair.

Shen Yuange's expression also changed drastically, but he still restrained himself to support the table and chair, and did not move.

Shen Luo's eyes flickered slightly, and he thought secretly in his heart that this old woman can control her power so skillfully, so it can be seen that her cultivation must be not shallow.

"Dragon Po, don't get angry..." Seeing this, Nie Renbei also felt that something was wrong, so he tried to persuade him.

"Let the old man be angry, he is worthy? The Spring and Autumn View is gone, and he is just a bereaved dog without the protection of the sect, and he dares to speak nonsense here! Dare to say such big words, don't even think about why you are? "Grandma Long sneered and said.

Shen Luo always felt that his feelings for Chunqiu Temple were not too deep, but when he heard the old lady's repeated sarcasm, she seemed to disdain Chunqiu Temple, but she couldn't hold back her anger.

"Why? Of course it's because of the passion of a man, but it can't be because of being thick-skinned because of being old?" Shen Luo frowned, and retorted.

"Okay, okay... What a sharp-mouthed junior, I want to teach you well today, what is the end of being disrespectful?" Grandma Long was very angry when she heard this, and said with a smile.

While speaking, she had already stood up on crutches, making it clear that she wanted to do something.

"Dragon Po, no. You are a cultivator in the late stage of Qi refining, and your attack is the power of thunder. How can this kid resist it? Once you hurt him, it will not damage your reputation in vain?" Seeing this, Huo Kun said quickly road.
