big dream master

It's just that Shen Luo was in a low mood and didn't have much mood to watch.

Two hours later, the auction was finally drawing to a close.

The atmosphere in the venue did not subside much, and it was still in full swing.

When the finale of the auction, a top-quality magic weapon "Hundred-tone Chime Bell", which contains sixteen layers of prohibition, is only half a step away from the magic weapon, and can emit extremely powerful sonic attacks, was sold by General Jin Kui at a high price of [-] immortal jade. The auction is completely over.

The three of Shen Luo left Xuanyuan Pavilion along with the surging crowd.

At this moment, the sky outside has already brightened, and the West City is still crowded with people, as if it has been lively all night.

Jin Yang Linghuo slipped away in front of his eyes, Shen Luo felt lost and had no intention of wandering around, so he said goodbye to Xie Yuxin and left.

"Master Shen, I will continue to inquire about the spirit fire for you, and I will notify you as soon as I have any news." Ma Xiuxiu said.

"Then there is Miss Lao Ma." Shen Luo said with cupped hands.

"As for the matter of the alchemist, now that the carnival is over, I will contact him right now, and I believe there will be results in a few days." Ma Xiuxiu continued.

Hearing this, Shen Luo finally recovered from his depressed mood, and thanked him again.

Ma Xiuxiu seemed to be busy with something, so she summoned the carriage that had been waiting outside, boarded the carriage and left.

However, Shen Luo and Xie Yuxin did not stay in West Market, and returned to Changpingfang soon.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, I have some things to do. I need to leave Chang'an City for a few days. The sale of talismans may have to be suspended." Xie Yuxin stopped outside Changpingfang, did not go in, and said.

"It's okay, I don't know what fellow daoist Xie is going to do? Do you need my help?" Shen Luo was a little surprised and asked.

"For some small matters, I can do it by myself, so I won't bother you, Fellow Daoist Shen." Xie Yuxin said.

Seeing this, Shen Luo didn't insist.

"Zhou Tie is my friend for many years. Although he doesn't know about monks, he has stayed in Chang'an City for many years and is familiar with many places in the city. He handles things carefully and is trustworthy. If you have any chores, you can ask him to do them." Xie Yuxin continued.

"Okay." Shen Luo nodded.

Xie Yuxin has always acted in a hurry, and immediately got up and left after explaining the matter.

A few days later, in the early morning, there were bursts of noisy sounds inside the walls of Changping Square, and there were curls of cooking smoke rising from everywhere.

Although the small courtyard where Shen Luo temporarily lived was far away from the busy streets and alleys, he could still vaguely hear the sounds of the market with a strong smell of fireworks coming from a distance.

Shen Luo woke up from meditation practice, stood up and pushed open the window of the courtyard on the second floor, and saw a group of sparrows chirping non-stop on an old locust tree outside, but it was the middle of the night. The chirping of cicadas stopped.

He raised his eyes and saw that on the street in the distance outside, many merchants along the street had already hung banners and opened the street door, ready to open the door to welcome customers.

At this time, a courtyard door on the other side of the inner courtyard opened, and a pretty girl with a delicate appearance walked towards this side.

Walking downstairs, the girl looked up and met Shen Luo's eyes with a smile. It was Ma Xiuxiu.

Although Shen Luo felt a little surprised, he still smiled politely.

After a while, there was a knocking sound outside the door on the second floor, and Shen Luo immediately opened the door to welcome her in.

"Miss Ma, why did you come here so early in the morning? Could it be that something has been settled?" After Ma Xiuxiu sat down, Shen Luo poured her a cup of tea and asked.

"After you said this the other day, I went back to the chamber of commerce to inquire about it. There is indeed an alchemist in the offerings of our chamber of commerce, but there is only one who can concoct milk panacea." Ma Xiuxiu took the teacup, put it down again, and then Only then did he speak.

"Really, that's great." Shen Luo was overjoyed upon hearing this.

"Mr. Shen, don't be too busy to be happy. That alchemist is one of the few people with the highest enshrining rank in our chamber of commerce. If you want to ask him to help you in alchemy, the price will be very high." Ma Xiuxiu said.

"It's natural, I'm mentally prepared. I just don't know how much this senior will ask for?" Shen Luo asked disapprovingly.

"Alchemy is more mind-consuming than refining tools. Usually, this alchemist will not accept commissions from other than the Chamber of Commerce. Fortunately, I have a few years of friendship with him, so he reluctantly agreed. In addition to requiring you to pay [-] Immortal Jade As a reward, no matter how much the final pill is, he will get one-third of it." Ma Xiuxiu said.

Hearing this, Shen Luo couldn't help frowning slightly.

Not to mention that the reward far exceeded Shen Luo's expectations, and even one-third of the milk panacea would be given away, which made Shen Luo a little unacceptable now.

"This price... is really beyond expectations. I wonder if there is any room for return?" Shen Luo hesitated for a while, then asked again.

"Mr. Shen, it's not that I'm trying to embarrass you on purpose. It's because this senior is inherently weird, that is, I can say something in front of him, but he ignores other people. Moreover, he never talks It’s true, I’ve never seen him haggling with anyone..." After hearing this, Ma Xiuxiu turned the teacup lightly with her fingers, with a embarrassed expression on her face.

Chapter 0410 Underworld Mission

Seeing that his expression did not seem to be fake, Shen Luo felt a little pity.

"Since this is the case, then I have no choice but to find another way, but I still have to thank Miss Ma." Shen Luo clasped his fists and said.

When Ma Xiuxiu heard this, she didn't respond to Shen Luo immediately, but frowned, thinking about something.

"Girl Ma..."

Shen Luo waved at her, and she came back to her senses, and said with some hesitation:

"Actually, there is another way. It is possible to make that senior willing to help you make alchemy. I wonder if you are willing to try it?"

"What method?" Shen Luo asked hastily.

"Mr. Shen, I don't know if you've heard of missions in the underworld?" Ma Xiuxiu asked mysteriously.

"I've heard it a little bit, why? What you said is related to the mission of the underworld?" Shen Luo was slightly taken aback, and then asked.

"That's right. The senior alchemist has been looking for a kind of Netherworld crystal, a special spiritual material produced by the Yin Division, in order to refine a kind of underworld spirit pill. Unfortunately, this thing is very valued by the Yin Division and rarely comes out of the Yang world, so it is hard to find. If you can If you get this thing, then the alchemy conditions will be much easier to discuss." Ma Xiuxiu nodded.

"Yellow Spring Crystal... Since it is so precious, I'm afraid it's not that easy to get it?" Shen Luo pondered.

Based on the few experiences he had had with the Haunted Horse Face before, Shen Luoxin knew that Yinsi's things were not so easy to obtain.

"That's natural, but it just so happens that our chamber of commerce is going to accept a mission in the underworld recently, and the reward is the Huangquan crystal. If you are willing to go, I can arrange for you to participate in this mission as a member of the chamber of commerce." Ma Xiuxiu said.

"But I heard that if you want to accept the mission of the underworld, at least you have to be a monk in the soul condensing stage? I'm afraid I'm not qualified with my meager skills?" Shen Luo hesitated.

"It's good to say so, but this mission is a group action, as long as the leader has the cultivation level of the soul condensing period, so the level of cultivation level is not a problem, the bigu period is enough." Ma Xiuxiu said with a smile.

"Please tell Miss Ma the details of the task, so that I don't rush forward and drag the Chamber of Commerce back." Shen Luo also asked with a smile on his face, clasping his fists.

"Mr. Shen, don't underestimate yourself. Generally speaking, most of the tasks in the underworld are related to exterminating ghosts and evil spirits. Mr. Shen, you are proficient in talismans, and you have powerful thunder talismans by your side. If you think about it this way, you are the best for carrying out this task. Candidate." Ma Xiuxiu waved at Shen Luo and said.

"In that case, Miss Ma thinks well for me." Shen Luo smiled and said.

"Having said that, I still want to remind you that such tasks are generally not easy, especially this time the reward is so high, and the ghosts to be killed may not be easy. You have to think twice before making a decision. Tomorrow Just give me an answer before this afternoon." Ma Xiuxiu said with a serious expression.

"I've accepted this task." Shen Luo thought for a moment and said.

"This task is still half a month away, so you don't have to rush to make a decision, there's still time." Ma Xiuxiu was slightly taken aback when she heard this, and said in surprise.

"I've made up my mind and accepted it. Miss Ma has already considered so much for me, if I still hesitate, I'm not letting her down." Shen Luo smiled and said firmly.

"Mr. Shen is really courageous, but you don't have to worry too much this time. The leader of this mission is a late-stage worshiper from our chamber of commerce. He has done many missions in the underworld. He has not failed in these years, and The battle loss rate of each mission is very low. As long as you strictly follow what he said, there will be no problems. In addition, I will ask him to take care of you a little more." Ma Xiuxiu said with a look of appreciation in his eyes .

"Then thank you very much." Shen Luo cupped his fists and said.

"Mr. Shen, you don't have to be so polite with me." Ma Xiuxiu finally smiled again.

After that, she said goodbye and left.

When it was close to noon, Shen Luo also left the small courtyard, went to the West Market where there were many shops, and bought a batch of talisman paper and various spiritual materials for making talisman ink.

He will use this half month to draw more talismans to deal with this underworld mission.

……

Time flies, it is already half a month later.

In the early morning of this day, before Shen Luo could rush to the Treasure Hall, a carriage came outside the gate of the small courtyard, saying that it was sent by Ma Xiuxiu to pick him up.

After Shen Luo packed up the talismans, he boarded the carriage and headed west of the city.

Passing through streets and markets along the way, the carriage walked for a long time. When passing by a tall gate, Shen Luo lifted the car curtain to take a look, only to find that he had arrived at Yongxing Square in the northwest of the city.

"How did you get here?" Shen Luo asked suspiciously.

"The meeting point is in Yongxingfang. Don't worry, we'll be there soon." The groom driving the carriage explained.

Shen Luo originally thought that the task of catching ghosts should be gathered outside the city, but unexpectedly, it was in Yongxingfang, which is close to the imperial city.

Going north along the road in the square, the carriage finally stopped after a short time.

Shen Luo jumped down from the car, looked up and saw a tall and majestic building not far in front of him, and there were two stone lions as tall as a man in front of him, which looked mighty and extraordinary.

"Town God Temple..."

Shen Luo looked at the plaque hanging on the lintel of the building, and couldn't help being a little surprised.

Just as he was wondering, another carriage drove over from behind, and a tall man in short brown clothes stepped down from it, with a huge brass ax on his back, striding over.

He walked up to him, glanced at Shen Luo who was a head lower than himself, and said in a low voice, "Are you also here to gather?"

Shen Luo took a look at the man, saw that his forehead was broad, his nose was not high, his lips were rather thick, and he had a simple and honest appearance, so he nodded in confusion.

"Me too, let's go together." The tall man raised his hand and walked up the steps first.

Shen Luo hesitated for a moment, then stepped up to follow.

"My name is Lu He, what's your name?" Seeing Shen Luo following up, the man asked.

"Under Shen Luo." Shen Luo cupped his fists and said.

"It seems that this is your first time participating in a mission?" Lu He looked at Shen Luo and asked again.

"It's the first time, so I ask fellow Taoists to give me advice." Shen Luo said.

"I can't talk about any advice, and it's only my third time participating. Anyway, I just follow Senior Hu Yong closely." Lu He said.

"Senior Hu Yong?" Shen Luo asked in surprise.

"Don't you know yet? Senior Hu Yong is leading the team this time. As long as you follow him honestly and listen to his instructions, you won't lose your life easily." Lu He said with eyes full of conviction.

"Who is this senior Hu Yong, and why is he so powerful?" Shen Luo asked doubtfully.

"You don't need to ask so many questions. In short, the most important thing to do is not to be smart, just follow the instructions of Senior Hu Yong." Lu He waved his hand impatiently and said.

While the two were talking, they stepped over the threshold one after the other and walked into the gate of the Town God's Temple.

Chapter 0411

The front hall of the temple is dedicated to the God of Wealth, Civil and Military, and the incense is in full bloom. Those who offer incense line up to put incense money into the merit box. , There are more sincere kowtows.

Shen Luo and Lu He went straight through the nave, and as soon as they reached the backyard, they found that there were fewer people immediately.

Shen Luo raised his eyes and saw the great hall standing behind him. There was a plaque hanging on the lintel with the three big characters "Yan Luo Dian" written in gold lacquer on a black background.

And on the square in front of the main hall, there were still three figures standing, two men and one woman.

Although the three of them were in front of the main hall, they were separated from each other by some distance, as if they were not familiar with each other.

Among them, a handsome young man with a thin figure and pale face, with a slender blue long sword across his waist, was standing under an ancient locust tree in front of the main hall, looking up at the Lush locust leaves on top.

Not far away from it, facing the railing in front of the hall, stood a middle-aged man wearing a crescent visor covering his left cheek. He was wearing a half armor, which only protected the area near his heart, and his waist was covered Hanging a golden long knife.

And four or five steps away from him, leaning against a railing is a plump woman in a red gauze dress. Her appearance is not too beautiful, her face is heavily made up, but her breasts are too full, wrapped in her clothes. Underneath, there is still a great potential to come out.

Seeing Shen Luo approaching, the young man just glanced sideways and then looked away, while the man in armor and the woman in red took the initiative to walk towards this side.

"Yo, here comes the newcomer..."

The woman in red was swaying in her steps, her chest trembled three times with every step she took.

"I've seen fellow Taoists." Shen Luo greeted him with cupped fists.

"One has a cold face, one covers half of his face, and the other is invisible. Finally, a handsome one came. If you look at it a few more times, this mission will be worthwhile." The woman in red bowed her body, Staring at Shen Luo without any scruples, he covered his mouth and smiled lightly.

"Lu He, who is this?" the armored man clasped his fists in return and asked.

"The chamber of commerce has recruited a new one. This time we are going to act with us. It's called Shen Luo. Fellow Daoist Shen, the one under the locust tree over there..." Hearing this, Lu He began to introduce Shen Luo and the others to each other.

The young man under the locust tree was called Lin Qing, and he was the first among them to follow the Chamber of Commerce to perform tasks, but it was not too early, and he had only performed it six times so far.

The man in armor was called Jin Dun, and the woman in red was called Yun Niang. Both came later than Lin Qing, but a little earlier than Lu He, and had performed four missions.

In these missions, several of them have intersected with each other, so they are not unfamiliar, but they are not familiar with each other, so Lu He's introduction to each of them is simple and straightforward.

While the few people were talking, an old man in brown robes with a stooped figure like an old ape walked over from an arched door in the side yard, holding a dark red wine gourd in his hand, walking towards them with vain steps.

Shen Luo looked around, and saw that the front of the top of his head was already bald, from the ears to the back of the head, and the remaining hair volume was pitifully small, and it was a bit messy hanging behind his neck.

The old man's cheeks are quite round, his long eyebrows hang down to his ears, his nose is red and shiny, his long beard reaches to his chest, and it is glistening with water, as if he is still sprinkled with half-dried wine. sloppy.

Different from Shen Luo's reaction, when the other four people saw the old man, they immediately greeted him, cupped their fists respectfully and said:

"Old Hu..."
