big dream master

"It's just a trivial matter, why bother to thank you." Xie Yuxin laughed, then left immediately, and flew away towards the distance.

Shen Luo watched the girl leave, took out the map to check the direction, and immediately set off towards Dazhou.

……

Dazhou is located near Chang'an, with fertile land and rich products. The Tang court has repeatedly implemented good governance in recent years. Because Dazhou is adjacent to the capital, officials at all levels dare not take too much money, so the people's livelihood here is quite rich.

Tangqiu County is a rather small county in Dazhou. It is famous for its abundance of a special rice grain called Hongliang rice.

Hongliang rice not only tastes mellow, but also has a hint of sweetness, which is more delicious than ordinary rice grains. Many dignitaries like it very much, so many merchants will come to Tangqiu County to buy Hongliang Rice, and Tangqiu County has also become prosperous. stand up.

There is a three-story restaurant in a lively street in the county seat, called Hongxiang Restaurant. This restaurant is well-known throughout Tangqiu County, especially the signature drink Hongliang Wine in the restaurant, which is brewed with red beam rice. The wine is made of blood red, and the taste is even more mellow, almost comparable to the wine brought from the Western Regions, attracting many foreigners to come here.

It is lunch time now, and the upper and lower floors of the Hongxiang Restaurant are full of customers. On the third floor, a young man in a green robe sits on a window seat, holding a glass of bright red Hongliang wine in one hand, and playing with it in the other A blue jade plate.

The third floor of the restaurant is very lively here, there is the sound of wine and wine everywhere, the wine and food are fragrant, but the young man is not affected at all, and there is a sense of purity in the whole person, many diners have noticed him and looked over frequently.

It was Shen Luo who spent a month or so traveling all the way from Donghai Bay to this person.

At the beginning of his practice, his five senses increased greatly, but he didn't know how to control them, and he felt bored in crowded places. Now that he has cultivated diligently, he has reached a high level, and he can control the inside and outside of his body freely. Foreign object odor influence.

Shen Luo also ignored the other diners, while drinking, he just played with the jade plate in his hand.

Chapter 0396

The blue jade plate was exactly what was snatched from the bald man.

These days, he studied carefully, and finally broke the restriction on the jade plate, and checked the contents.

The words on the jade board recorded a technique called "Bibojue", and nine out of ten it was the inherited technique of Bishuimen.

Although this technique is considered mysterious, it is much worse than the unknown technique. He naturally does not know how to practice it. The reason why he has been playing with this jade board is that the jade board recorded three spells at the end, namely Spring Spring Technique, Thousand Rain Needle Technique, Whirlpool Slash.

These three spells are all ordinary water spells, not very advanced, they are available in slightly larger sects, but Shen Luo watched them with relish.

Although the technique of controlling water in the nameless exercise is mysterious, it lacks such specific spells. When facing the enemy, he feels powerful and hard to use, as if he has supernatural power, but he does not know the subtle martial arts moves, so it is difficult to use it. The power of this technique.

Seeing these spells at this moment, he felt a sense of openness, and finally found a channel for his exquisite water control skills.

However, there are quite a lot of loopholes in these spells, especially the method of controlling water in it, which is far less subtle than the technique of controlling water in the nameless technique.

While pondering these three spells these days, Shen Luo is also constantly improving these three spells with unknown skills, and he has already gained a lot.

It's a pity that this road is quite smooth, and there is no chance to display it.

He shook his head, put away the messy thoughts in his mind, and looked sideways at the county town outside the window.

The purpose of coming to Tangqiu County this time is to find the thousand-year-old spiritual milk. According to the jade slip in the dream, the spiritual milk is hidden in a stone at the gate of a senior official in Tangqiu County.

It's just that the Yuanwai's surname is not mentioned in the jade slips, and Tangqiu County is very large, more than three times larger than Chunhua County. There are at least hundreds or thousands of Yuanwai, so it is very troublesome to find them.

But it was related to his longevity, no matter how troublesome it was, he had to bite the bullet and find it out.

Moreover, he has already made some preparations for this, so he won't rush around.

Shen Luo tapped the table lightly with his fingers, thinking about his next move, when a sudden commotion came from below, interrupting his thoughts.

He frowned and looked down from the window.

I saw a few people gathered at the entrance of the restaurant below, one of them was an old Taoist in white robes, with white beard and hair, but skin as tender as a boy's.

The white-robed old man was holding a green bamboo pole in his hand, on which was hung a piece of white cloth with four big characters of "immortal guiding the way" written on it. He looked like a fortune-teller, and he was arguing with the shopkeeper and the staff of the restaurant.

After Shen Luo listened to a few words, it turned out that the old man in white robe came here uninvited, and wanted to show the Feng Shui of Hongxiang Restaurant.

The restaurant is busy now, the shopkeeper has no time to ask someone to check Fengshui, he took a dozen copper coins and asked the store clerk to send the old man in white robe to leave, the old man in white robe suddenly became angry, and publicly accused Hongxiang Restaurant of bad Fengshui Well, if there is no ingenious way to resolve the improper display in the store, it will definitely be a sign of decline and the business will plummet.

Businessmen are very concerned about such things as luck and auspiciousness. How can the shopkeeper of Hongxiang Restaurant allow this old man to talk nonsense, so the two parties started to argue.

"Old Daoist, I am Xuanzhen Taoist, the sixth-generation successor of Xinxiangmen No. 30. The Tiangang God of our sect can be counted as the Dao of Tongtian, and can be counted as the past and the future. Shopkeeper, let me look at your face. Although the heaven is full, there are tears in the hall of tears under your eyes." A small scar blocked the luck of children, so although you have many wives and concubines in your house, you have no offspring, right?" The old man in white robe laughed, patted his sleeves, and said calmly.

The shopkeeper was shocked when he heard this.

He is over forty years old and married three wives and concubines, but so far he has no children.

This matter is his heart disease, fearing that others will gossip, he has been trying his best to cover it up.

The old man in white robe revealed this secret in one mouthful. While the shopkeeper was ashamed and angry, he was also shocked and froze there.

"Shopkeeper, your eyebrows are sparse, but they are cone-shaped. There is a small mole at the end of your left eyebrow. This person is the master's parents and relatives. Your father is no longer alive, and your father is also sick and suffering, right?" The old man in white robe stroked his white beard. , continued.

The shopkeeper's expression was shocked again, obviously what the old man said hit the mark again.

The people who watched nearby made a sound of amazement when they saw this scene.

As for Shen Luo above, there was also a little surprise in his eyes.

"Fate is empty and ever-changing. I thought that fortune-telling and divination were all quack tricks. This old man can actually tell the numerology of the shopkeeper's parents and children. Is there really a magical power to calculate fate in this world?" He thought to himself.

"This Taoist priest, you, you are right. It's just that these things are not difficult to find out. You can find out after a little inquiring. It's not a big deal." The shopkeeper was very surprised, but refused to admit it, shaking his head and said.

"Hehe, since the shopkeeper doesn't believe in the appearance of the previous life, then I will calculate the appearance of the future life for you." The white-robed old man smiled lightly, took out three copper coins from his bosom, shook them three times in his palm, and then sprinkled them on the ground.

Clinking loudly, the three copper coins rolled on the ground a few times and stopped quickly.

The eyes of everyone nearby followed the copper coins, and Shen Luo also looked over.

It's just that he doesn't know anything about physiognomy, so he can't see the mystery.

"This hexagram is the Li hexagram. From the main fire, there will be a fire in the expensive restaurant today." The white-robed old man gave a light sigh, picked up three copper coins, and said quietly.

The shopkeeper showed anger, but the veteran figured out the situation of his parents and heirs, but he didn't dare to speak out and scold him at will, his face turned red immediately.

Shen Luo was skeptical, but he laughed out loud the next moment, glanced in the direction of the backyard, got up and went downstairs.

"Fire, the firewood house in the backyard is flooded, put out the fire!" A voice of exclamation suddenly came from the backyard of Hongxiang Restaurant.

There was a pile of firewood against the wall in the backyard. At this moment, a fire was ignited, and thick smoke rose.

The shopkeeper was stunned, and the spectators in the restaurant were also stunned.

"Go and put out the fire, go!" The shopkeeper immediately reacted and shouted loudly.

A few guys in the store rushed towards the backyard, while the guests in the restaurant buzzed and chatted like a frying pan, and they looked at the white-robed old man with respect.

In the backyard, several cooks were holding ladles and preparing to put out the fire.

At this moment, a large mass of water suddenly appeared on the firewood out of thin air, splashed down with a "crash", and wiped out most of the flames on the firewood.

The back kitchen guys didn't know what happened, so they were all stuck in place.

"What are you doing in a daze, don't hurry to put out the fire!" A few guys in the store rushed over and shouted when they saw the people in the back kitchen staying there.

Several people in the back kitchen recovered and hurried forward to put out the fire.

Most of the flames on the firewood had been extinguished, and a few people splashed water and slapped them, and quickly extinguished the flames.

At the entrance of the restaurant, the shopkeeper no longer had any doubts about the old man in white robe.

Chapter 0397

"Master Daoist, you are a living god, the villain was unreasonable before, please come in and sit up!" He was relieved to see the fire in the backyard under control, and then hastily and respectfully invited the old Taoist in white robes into the door.

"Old Immortal, you are really powerful, I would like to invite you to my house to have a look at Feng Shui!"

"Master Daoist, my son is going to take the scientific examination soon, can you please calculate his future for him?"

"Master Daoist, my daughter is already in her twenties this year, and she hasn't left the cabinet yet. Can you figure out where her husband is?"

The other onlookers also showed reverence on their faces, and rushed towards the white-robed old man, forming a big circle around him.

Shen Luo came down from upstairs, put a small piece of silver on the counter, and strode out without even looking at the old man in white robe.

The fire in the backyard just now did not start for no reason. When the white-robed old man was using copper coins for divination, a ghostly person outside the backyard threw a ball of kindling into it and ignited the pile of firewood in the yard.

He has something to do now, so he doesn't have the heart to think about other things. He doesn't bother to expose this charlatan.

After leaving Hongxiang Restaurant, Shen Luo went straight to a nearby inn to stay overnight.

During the daytime, people come and go all over the county, it is not a good time to look for the thousand-year-old spiritual milk, so he plans to start looking for it at night.

Shen Luo opened an upper room, and after instructing Xiao Er not to come over and disturb casually, she sat down beside the bed, took the green pouch from her waist and opened it.

With a sound of "嗖", a purple shadow shot out from inside and landed on his shoulder, it was the Shadow Gu.

"Xiao Zi, I'm afraid you have to rely on your sense of smell at night to find something." Shen Luo reached out and tapped Shadow Gu's head, and said in his mouth.

When the purple lizard saw Shen Luo pointing his finger, instead of dodging, he moved his head closer. He was very obedient, apparently completely subdued.

This Shadow Gu is the method he prepared. According to the dream jade slip, although the thousand-year-old spiritual milk is sealed in a big stone, the Shadow Gu has an extremely sensitive sense of smell, so he should be able to smell it, so he doesn't need to dig the stone. examine.

The only thing to worry about is that the Shadow Gu needs to smell a smell first and remember it before he can follow it up. Now he can't get some thousand-year-old spiritual milk for him to smell.

Moreover, Gu worms are different from monsters, their spiritual intelligence is very low, and he can't describe to them what he is looking for in words, which is a bit troublesome.

"Forget it, once this Gu worm smells something like a thousand-year-old spiritual milk, it will definitely behave differently, so don't worry too much." Shen Luo thought secretly, cut his finger and squeezed out a drop of blood to feed to the Shadow Gu. Then put it in the pouch.

He sat down cross-legged by himself, closed his eyes and exercised.

Time passed quickly, night fell, and the bustling Tangqiu County quickly fell into a deep sleep, and everything was silent.

Shen Luo got up, quietly left the inn, and soon came to the east of the city.

The thousand-year-old spiritual milk was related to his life, he didn't dare to take any chances, and planned to start looking for it from here, searching for those wealthy families who could be called outsiders one by one.

Shen Luo looked around, and soon stopped at a courtyard with a high door, walked over quietly, and checked the ground in front of the door.

Shadow Gu was also released by him, staying on his shoulder, and using his sense of smell to probe.

The night passed quickly.

Because the jade slip only said that the thousand-year-old spiritual milk was found outside the door, it didn't say whether it was outside the main door, the back door, or any other door.

Fearing that he would miss it, Shen Luo searched very carefully, and only managed to check more than [-] households in one night.

Compared to the huge number of households that need to be investigated in Tangqiu County, less than one percent was found.

After dawn, Shen Luo couldn't continue his investigation by climbing over the wall and entering the house, so he had to return to the inn.

For the next ten days or so, he continued to go out day and night to investigate the situation in the city.

After more than ten days of hard work, they searched [-]% of the households in Tangqiu County, but failed to find the thousand-year-old spiritual milk.

Although Shen Luo was not discouraged by this, he was also a little bored. At noon on this day, he got bored at the inn and went to visit Baihua Mountain outside the city.

There are many flowers growing on this Baihua Mountain, hence the name. There is also an ancient temple on the mountain with beautiful scenery, and many local people come here to visit.

Shen Luo walked around the mountain, looking at the green mountains and green waters, flowers everywhere, and his mood improved a lot.

"Divination and fortune-telling, pointing out half-life's maze! Ask about the past first, and you won't get any money if you don't! Official luck, wealth luck, marriage, feng shui, everything is perfect, and you can understand everything!" When he came down from Baihua Mountain, a loud shout sounded, However, a stall was set up at the foot of the mountain, and an old monk in a red cassock sat behind him, and a white cloth with divination and fortune-telling was erected beside it.

Standing next to the old monk was a young novice monk with bright eyes and looked quite clever.

Shen Luo glanced at the two of them, and was about to walk over when he stopped suddenly, turned around and looked at the two of them.

Although the old monk was bareheaded and beardless, Shen Luo could recognize that he was the old monk who lied to people in the Hongxiang Restaurant that day.

The little novice next to him was the one who set fire outside the restaurant before.

Baihua Mountain is a famous tourist spot in Tangqiu County. Many people come here to visit. These two scammers changed their appearance and came here.

Shen Luo was angry and funny in his heart, he was busy with other things before, and he spared the two of them once, but now they meet for the second time, these two are still cheating.

He intentionally taught the two of them a lesson to calm them down, and walked over.

There was a loud "bang", and a piece of silver was thrown on the table, which startled the two monks.

"The poor monk, Zen Master Liaokong, who learned the physiognomy of the Jinguang Temple of the ancient Suanzong, is the second generation descendant of No. 70, guest officer, what do you want?" The old monk saw the silver on the table, and his face showed greed. , but immediately took it away without touching the silver, looked up at Shen Luo at the table and said.

"It's nothing. I see the Zen master's majestic appearance, and he is sure of his profound teachings. I admire him very much. I will go to Beijing to take the exam in a few days. I came here specially to ask you to give me some advice." Shen Luo said with a smile in his heart.

"Guest officer, I don't think you are a scholar, nor are you going to catch up on the scientific examination." The old monk raised his eyes and looked at Shen Luo twice, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and an inscrutable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said decisively .

"Oh, why do you know that?" Shen Luo said with a half-smile.

Before cultivating immortals, he had also been in the secular world. He knew that these fortune-telling liars like to make shocking words suddenly. pay out.

"This is a secret, don't let it out." The old monk shook his head and said with an inscrutable look.

"Then please ask the Zen master to show me my face, and I have agreed in advance, if what you said is wrong, don't blame me for turning my face." Shen Luo raised his mouth and raised his voice.

When the nearby tourists heard the sound, many gathered around.

"Of course, my little friend, you look good now, but from your perspective, you have suffered from a serious illness when you were young. The illness has been lingering for a long time, and it almost killed you. Fortunately, an expert helped you. Get better slowly, right?" The old monk looked at Shen Luo a few times, tapped the table with his fingers, and said.
