big dream master

Shen Huayuan's eyes sank, he looked at the scene in front of him and did not express his opinion, neither encouraging Shen Luo nor dissuading his clansmen.

In fact, not only the Shen family was greatly surprised, but even General Rhino himself was full of disbelief, sitting up and staring at Shen Luo in a daze.

Shen Luo turned a blind eye to the shouts of the clansmen, just looked at the rhinoceros and said, "Why don't you leave, do you really want me to kill you?"

"You don't kill me? Why don't you kill me?" General Rhino couldn't help asking as if he had encountered the greatest confusion in his life.

"How many places where monsters are entrenched are as clean as yours? Which one is not full of bones and evil spirits?" Shen Luo looked around and asked back.

"Maybe it's because I eat clean?" General Rhino said with suspicion in his eyes.

"You fought with me earlier, and you didn't have any murderous intent in your actions. It shows that you are not a bloodthirsty person. Well, I have let you go, and you still refuse to leave. Could it be that you really want to die?" Shen Luo said helplessly.

After hearing this, General Rhino finally believed that Shen Luo really didn't intend to kill it.

"You human race, you are so weird... The people I have met in the past are either those who are too weak to beg for mercy, or those who are too capable to kill monsters wantonly. You are a special case. I am convinced that I lost today. I will see you in the future. I still want to block the way to snatch you." General Rhino looked at Shen Luo for a while and said.

"Okay, then it will depend on your ability." Shen Luo smiled and said.

Without saying a word, General Rhino picked up the ghost hammer and left without looking back.

Everyone in the Shen family was very puzzled when they saw that Shen Luo let go of the monster like this, they whispered among themselves and discussed a lot.

Shen Luo didn't intend to explain anything, but just greeted Shen Huayuan, then returned to the carriage, and the group set off again, all the way to Jianye.

Time flies, and more than half a month has passed.

At night, in a deserted mountain village, several bonfires were lit, and the Shen family and his party stayed in them.

The past half month has been a rare and stable period of time for them. They have not encountered any powerful monsters or ghosts along the way. Today, they even killed two low-level monsters, so they set up a camp here to roast monster meat.

Beside the biggest bonfire in the village, Shen Huayuan, Shen Quan and others surrounded Shen Luo and Shen Yu.

"Patriarch, why don't you see Senior Shen and Sister Yu?" A younger member of the Shen family got a piece of glistening demon meat and asked.

"They are all practicing, don't disturb them." Shen Huayuan said with a smile when he heard this.

In fact, not only Shen Yu, but other practitioners in the Shen family have received more or less guidance from Shen Luo during this period of time, and each of them has gained something in their practice. It's just that Shen Yu is approaching the key to break through to the middle stage of bigu. That's why he worked so hard.

As for Shen Luo, it was because he had already undid the restriction of his dantian, his cultivation base had returned to the state of the initial stage of soul condensing, and he was currently comprehending the three-star magic power mentioned in the "Huang Ting Jing" exercise.

When he was in Changshou Village earlier, he was disturbed by all kinds of chores. Although he had some understanding of this supernatural power, he did not understand it thoroughly after all, let alone cultivated it successfully.

Now, it will take some time for his cultivation distance to return to the original level. If he has cultivated the supernatural power of the three-star demon extermination, even if it is only the most basic one-star power, it will be of great help.

Tonight, it is rare to see that there are no thick clouds over the head, and through the dark night, you can see the sky full of stars.

Shen Luo was sitting alone in an open space at the head of the village, with his palms facing the sky and his head facing the night.

It was different from his daily meditation practice, his eyes were not closed, but widened, staring at the deep night sky, his eyes were shining brightly, as if reflecting the entire starry sky.

He silently recited the Huang Ting Jing exercises in his heart, and the starry sky he saw gradually changed.

Shen Luo didn't know whether his body was getting lighter and flew up into the sky, or the stars in the sky were getting heavier and heavier, falling to the world one after another, he only felt that his body was overlapping with the stars in the sky.

He suddenly looked around, and saw little lights around him, all kinds of blue or red, bright or dark, far or near stars, all flashing brightly and darkly like breathing.

Shen Luo looked at the countless stars, and suddenly felt a sense of insignificance in his heart, as if he himself had become a speck of dust among these billions of stars, he subconsciously adjusted his breathing, and merged with the flickering stars.

One light and one dark, one breath and one breath...

Suddenly, he came back to his senses, only to find that he was still sitting cross-legged on the ground, but the galaxy above his head had changed.

I saw the tiny particles transformed by the power of countless stars, falling down like dust under the beam of light, and falling into the two sinking eyes.

Shen Luo subconsciously wanted to close his eyes, but he forced himself not to move.

His two pupils, like two lakes, carried the rain and dew falling from the sky, and they were also filled with the brilliance of stars.

Chapter 0315 Three Star Demon Extermination

a few days later.

At dusk in the evening, the sun is about to set in the west, and the clouds are reflected like blood.

With great difficulty, the Shen family's group walked out of the continuous rainy Qianhua County, passed the Yuqian Pass, and entered Yuyin County.

Shen Luo did not practice sitting in the carriage as usual, but drove the carriage himself. Instead, he let the young coachman who had driven him for more than half a month rest and sat on the other side.

The name of the coachman was Wang Yuan, he was the son of the steward of the Shen family. When the city was broken, the whole family stayed in the city. Only he was brought out by Shen Huayuan under the old steward's begging.

"Master Shen, is that mountain Yuqian Mountain?" Wang Yuan raised his finger and pointed to a dark and fuzzy mountain in the distance, and asked.

"That's right, it's there." Shen Luo took a look, nodded, and said.

"When I was young, I heard from my father that this place used to be an important source of medicinal materials for the Shen family. He said that there were many elm trees growing on the mountain. Every year when the season came, the trees would be covered with sweet elm money, which looked like a trumpet. The copper coins are the same, they can be eaten raw or steamed for cooking, and anyone who eats them will have good fortune." Wang Yuan said with a look of reminiscence in his eyes.

"Yumqian... I ate it when I was young." Shen Luo couldn't help recalling the past when he heard the words.

"How does it taste?" Wang Yuan's eyes lightened slightly, and he asked hastily.

Seeing his expectant look, Shen Luo couldn't bear to lie to him, so he had to say: "It's been too long, I can't remember."

In fact, he did eat Yuqian rice when he was a child, but there were too many delicious things at that time, and he didn't like the taste, so he didn't think it was sweet at all.

It's just that I didn't expect that in the world thousands of years later, even such things would become unattainable delicacies.

"My dad hasn't actually eaten it, but every time I talk about it, it makes my cheeks salivate, but I can't imagine what it tastes like." Wang glanced at the Yuqian Mountain from a distance, and said with some disappointment .

"I remember that there should be elm trees in Chunhua County, right?" Shen Luo asked after pondering for a while.

Hearing this, Wang Yuan didn't think about why Shen Luo knew about it, but just shook his head and said: "There is an old elm tree that is more than 200 years old, but it is a pity that it has died long ago."

Shen Luo fell silent after hearing the words.

After all, in a thousand years, Chunhua County can become a big city comparable to the state capital, what else will not change?

The two were talking, when the carriage in front of the convoy suddenly stopped after a sound of horse honking, Shen Luo wrinkled his nose slightly, immediately smelled a bloody smell, and frowned.

As soon as he jumped out of the carriage, he saw Shen Quan running back quickly.

"Senior Shen, go ahead and have a look, there's something wrong." Shen Quan shouted from a distance, cupping his fists.

Shen Luo didn't hesitate, and rushed over quickly, but the closer he got to the front of the team, the tighter his frown became, and the bloody smell in the air became stronger.

He pushed aside the Shen family who were watching, and at a glance saw the large canopy of blood splashed on the ground, which was dark in color and had dried up and scabbed. There were many human stumps scattered in the distance. The scene was extremely bloody and attracted many people. People gasped one after another, and some clansmen ran aside and retched.

Shen Luo looked at the broken hands and feet all over the floor, even though he was used to seeing life and death, he couldn't help feeling a little numb.

"Senior, we have roughly counted the corpses. There are a total of more than ten corpses. Most of them have lost their hearts and organs. It seems that they were attacked by some monster." Shen Yu stepped forward and said.

Hearing this, Shen Luo didn't speak, bent down silently, grabbed a young child's severed hand, stared at the location of the fracture for a moment, then took out a yellow paper talisman from his bosom, shaking it in the air.

The yellow paper talisman with the Mountain Passing Rune creaked slightly, but there was no light on it.

"It wasn't the work of monsters." Shen Luo put away the talisman paper, stood up and said.

"The corpse is so severely damaged, no matter how you look at it, it looks like it was done by an irrational monster. Why did senior say it wasn't done by a monster?" Shen Huayuan couldn't help asking.

"I just checked with the mountain talisman, and there is no evil spirit left around. Moreover, although the corpses here are dismembered, if you look carefully, you will find the tooth marks on the broken limbs. , there is no obvious sign of the demon clan." Shen Luo said without changing his expression.

Hearing this, Shen Huayuan immediately picked it up among the stumps, and quickly found an arm with tooth marks. After looking at it, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "This tooth mark...how does it look like a human race's arm?" ?”

When other people heard the words, they also gathered together to check it out, and after reading it, they all exclaimed.

"Even if the human race kills people, they will not do such a thing like dismembering the liver, digging out the heart, biting the bones and dismembering the corpse. From my point of view, most of them encountered monsters, and it is very likely that they were infected by the demonic energy and transformed from the human race." A complete monster." Shen Luo continued.

Hearing the word "monster", the expressions of everyone in the Shen family changed slightly.

"Senior's analysis, I think it is probably the truth. If there are really monsters entrenched here, then our original plan of spending the night in the town ahead may have to be changed." Shen Huayuan said after a little thought.

"Monsters are more difficult to deal with than ordinary ghosts. We can avoid them as much as possible. Tonight, we will drive all night, bypassing Qingyan Town in front, and rest at Cumulus Mountain." Shen Yu also frowned.

"That's fine." Shen Luo nodded in agreement.

So, everyone gathered up all the corpses on the ground and buried them, and then spared the Qingyan Town, which had been abandoned for many years, and left through the Myriad Tao Forest outside the town.

……

Outside Qingyan Town, there are [-] mu of peach groves.

The peach forest that was supposed to be full of vitality is now dry and hardened, with cracks and scorched marks everywhere on the ground, all the surrounding peach trees are completely dead, and the black branches are like big hands of despair, reaching out to the sky .

Gradually, the sky darkened, and there were shadows of dead trees all around. As the members of the Shen family walked among them, they could faintly hear the whispering and whimpering sounds of the night wind blowing through the treetops.

Shen Luo and Shen Yu shared a carriage and walked at the front of the team.

"You don't have to be too nervous. It's not a good thing to be tense for a long time." Seeing Shen Yu's expression stiff, Shen Luo couldn't help reminding her.

Since he began to practice the three-star demon-killing supernatural power and introduced Xinghui into his body, his speed of breaking the blockade in his body has been greatly accelerated. Now he has recovered the strength of the middle stage of soul condensing, and his spiritual sense can be released a little. Be aware of it in advance.

"The habit I developed before, whenever I leave Chunhua City, I will keep myself on guard at all times when I go outside, and I can't get rid of it." Shen Yu was slightly startled, and then smiled.

Chapter 0316 Nether Scholar

Shen Luo looked at Shen Yu beside him, and couldn't help but think of Yingluo whom he met in Changshou Village, who was also a woman in the last days and became the last support of a village and a clan.

"With me here, you can relax a little bit." Shen Luo smiled and said.

When Shen Yu heard this, there was a little warmth on her face, but her tense nerves didn't really relax much, just like what she said, she has formed a habit and it's hard to change it.

"Didn't the bottleneck loosen a little during the last practice? Why hasn't there been a breakthrough?" Seeing this, Shen Luo didn't force himself, so he changed the subject and asked.

"I don't know why, but I always feel that I'm still a little underwhelmed, but I don't know exactly where the difference is." Shen Yu said with a sigh.

"Tell me about your feelings during your practice in recent days." Shen Luo said.

After hearing this, Shen Yu did not hesitate, and immediately began to speak slowly.

Shen Luo looked serious and listened patiently. Combining his two experiences of practicing in dream and reality, he carefully analyzed the various feelings Shen Yu said, and soon found the crux of the problem.

After he explained again, Shen Yumao suddenly realized and was overjoyed.

"So that's it, I understand, thank you senior!" Shen Yu clasped his fists again and again, thanking him sincerely.

"It's just a little effort, there's no need..." As soon as Shen Luo raised his hand, he froze in place, his nose wrinkled, and his expression became serious.

At the same time, a halo lit up on his chest.

Shen Luo reached into his bosom, took out the Mountain Crossing Talisman, and saw that it was shining brightly and dimly.

"There is a monster..." He immediately stopped the convoy.

Soon, Shen Huayuan brought Shen Quan over from the rear of the car and asked what happened.

"There seems to be a monster in front, but judging from the condition of the talisman paper, it seems that the monster's aura is not strong, and it is not a powerful character." Shen Luo looked at the dizzy halo on the talisman paper, and said with a frown.

"Then we..." Shen Huayuan looked at Shen Luo and asked.

"You stay here, I'll go over and have a look before making a decision." Shen Luo pondered for a while and said.

"Senior, I'll go with you." Shen Yu said immediately.

"Alright." Shen Luo hesitated for a moment, then said.

So, the two left the convoy one after the other, and went to explore in front of Taolin.

After walking a distance of about three or four hundred feet, the smell of blood in the air became more and more intense, but strangely, the light of the Mountain Passing Talisman held by Shen Luo did not change significantly.

"That's..." Shen Yu suddenly stopped, pointed to a peach tree not far away, and said in surprise.

Shen Luo had also noticed that on the ground there, there was a pile of miserable corpses scattered on the ground, all of which were stained with blood, and their internal organs had also been emptied.The difference is that these corpses are covered with hair, some have scales and claws, and some have sharp horns. They are all monsters.

"Did that monster do it?" Shen Yu asked.

"That's right. Most of the monsters are insane. When they go crazy, they are irrational. No matter they are humans or monsters, they will be wiped out." Shen Luo nodded and said.

"Isn't it in Qingyan Town, why did it appear here again?" Shen Yu couldn't help but ask.

"It should be chasing these monsters." Shen Luo glanced at the thick night ahead and said.

"Since this is the case, this Taolin can't continue walking, we have to take a longer detour." Shen Yu said with a sigh.

"I'm afraid it's too late..." Shen Luo said slowly, frowning deeply.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "dang" sound in the void in front of him. The sound was ethereal and unusual, echoing in the entire peach forest, which made people feel uneasy from the bottom of their hearts.

Shen Yu looked forward following the ringing of the bell, and saw that in the thick night, a lamp suddenly lit up, and the light flickered and slowly drifted towards this side.

Shen Luo secretly held the seven-star pen in his sleeve, and quickly took out the magic weapon half-moon ring, and replaced it with a thunderbolt talisman in the other hand.

The frequency of the bell's ringing was not high, almost only once in a dozen breaths, and when it rang for the third time, the light had already floated to a position about ten feet in front of Shen Luo and the two of them.

Only then did Shen Luo see clearly that what appeared in front of him was a scholar in green robes, a Confucian crown on his head, and a bamboo bookcase on his back. He held a candle in one hand and a scroll in the other. Ancient books, buried in reading.
