big dream master

In those gazebos and flower gardens, one or two monks can occasionally be seen here, taking a leisurely walk, or playing the piano, like a fairy among gods.

Shen Luo took a closer look at the demeanor and expressions of these people, not inferior to General Jin Kui, Aunt Qinghua and others, they were all masters at the out-of-body stage, and he was even more shocked.

"Those are the guest elders of my Datang government. The court spent a lot of money to invite them. Everyone is not simple, and there are many people with eccentric personalities. They will not offend them casually." Lu Huaming whispered in Shen Luo's ear Said loudly.

After hearing this, Shen Luo hurriedly looked away.

The two continued to move forward, and soon passed through the corridor, and gorgeous buildings appeared in front of them, with elegant styles.

"These are Zhike Hall, Shoujing Hall, and Mingren Hall. They are all places to receive distinguished guests." Lu Huaming introduced these places to Shen Luo as he walked.

In fact, according to the rules, foreign visitors must first go to these places to report, and then send someone in to inform them, and they can only enter after getting permission.

Because Shen Luo was with Lu Huaming, he skipped these steps and came in directly.

Passing through these places, the atmosphere of the buildings in front of them changed again, becoming tall and solemn.

This is already the core area of ​​the Datang government. According to Lu Huaming, the interior of the Datang government is divided into different halls, such as Tiangang Hall, Disha Hall, Four Seas Hall, Thunderbolt Hall, etc., and the functions of each hall are different. .

Chapter 0428 Introduction

Although the two are friends, Shen Luo is an outsider after all, and Lu Huaming didn't introduce them carefully.

Naturally, Shen Luo wouldn't ask any more questions. He looked around, his complexion suddenly changed slightly, and he stopped and looked up.

I saw a huge circular light curtain appearing in the sky at an unknown time, with seven huge sword phantoms in the center, showing seven colors of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue and purple.

On the periphery of the giant sword are a lot of smaller sword shadows, forming a ring shape, and outside, there is another layer of sword shadows, which are smaller in size.

The sword shadows on the light curtain are layered on top of each other, divided into seven layers, spinning like a windmill.

"This is the beginning of the Great Tang government. The Taizu of this dynasty paid a huge price to hire the Qijue Sword Formation arranged by a high-ranking person as the guardian circle of my Datang government. This formation is extremely powerful. It is said that it was born out of rumors. In the Zhuxian Sword Formation, even if Da Luo Jinxian stepped into it, his soul would be scattered." Lu Huaming introduced Shen Luo when he saw Shen Luo's appearance.

"Seven Absolute Sword Formation!" Shen Luo muttered to himself.

Although the sword formation above his head looked extraordinary, he never thought that even Da Luo Jinxian could be beheaded. The background of the Datang government is really unfathomable.

"Let's go." Lu Huaming seemed a little anxious, and quickly turned into a remote path ahead with Shen Luo, and soon came to a small two-story jingshe building.

"Is the Duke in there?" Shen Luo looked at the small building in front of him, and asked a little strangely.

"No, this is my residence. I have some important matters to attend to, and I will visit the Duke later." Lu Huaming said, and then walked quickly into the building.

Shen Luo was a little confused, but still followed.

Before stepping into the small building, a strong smell of wine came from the house, mixed with the sound of gulping.

Shen Luo was startled, and then saw Lu Huaming sitting in the room, holding a big wine jar, drinking heavily.

On the table next to it, there are several wine jars.

Shen Luo shook his head and smiled, and walked into the house.

"Phew, I'm so hungry!" Lu Huaming put down the wine jar, raised his hand to wipe the wine stains from his mouth, and said intoxicated.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, the important thing you said was drinking?" Shen Luo was a little dazed.

"Hey, for me, drinking is the top priority. If I don't drink for a day, the wine worms in my stomach will rebel. However, my lord does not allow me to bring alcohol when I go out to perform tasks. I am so hungry these days " Lu Huaming laughed, and took a few more gulps.

"Looking at you like this, it seems like you haven't drunk in a few years." Shen Luo laughed.

"One day is like three autumns." Lu Hua sighed.

Shen Luo shook his head and smiled, and said nothing more.

"Brother Shen, would you like some?" Lu Huaming pushed a wine jar over.

"I'm going to visit the Duke later. It's not appropriate to drink now, so I won't drink it." Smelling the mellow aroma of the wine, Shen Luo was a little moved, but thinking of what he was going to do next, he still refused.

Lu Huaming didn't force himself, and drank three jars of wine by himself before stopping.

"Let's go." Lu Huaming hiccupped, took Shen Luo out of the small building, and came outside a large hall.

"This is the main hall of the Tang government, where the Duke usually handles official business." Lu Huaming led Shen Luo directly into it.

This hall looks majestic and tall from the outside, much higher than other nearby halls, but the interior decoration does not have a touch of luxury, except for the tables and chairs for guests, there are only two rows of weapon racks next to it, filled with all kinds of weapons. weapon.

"This is really the main meeting hall?" Shen Luo couldn't believe it when he saw the scene in front of him.

"Hehe, Cheng Guogong was born in a martial arts man, he likes to wield knives and sticks, and he thinks that gold, silver, jade, and antique treasures are things that corrupt people's minds, so it is strictly forbidden to appear in this martial arts hall." Lu Huaming said with a smile.

"This duke is really a wonderful person." Shen Luo said.

"Senior brother Lu, this fellow Taoist, please drink some tea." Two attendants came out and served a cup of spirit tea to each of them.

"Is the Duke here?" Lu Huaming asked.

"Your Majesty called the Duke and Lord into the court today to discuss the state affairs, but he has not returned yet," said an attendant.

"Oh, then let's wait for him." Lu Huaming was slightly surprised, and turned to Shen Luo and said.

Shen Luo nodded, sat aside and waited.

It turned out that the wait was only half an hour, but with Lu Huaming talking with him, talking about what he had seen and heard in recent years, he would not feel bored.

After a while, there was a rush of footsteps coming from outside, loud and urgent.

"My lord is back!" Lu Huaming raised his eyebrows and stood up.

As soon as he finished speaking, a burly old man walked in.

This person was wearing a set of golden battle armor, with a thick beard and a pair of eyes as big as copper bells. He looked extremely mighty.

"Grandma, it's really troublesome to go to court every day after becoming an official."

Shen Luo stood up and was about to go forward to pay respects, when he heard what the burly old man said, he froze there.

Lu Huaming glanced at Shen Luo meaningfully, as if to say: "Look, I'm right."

"Master, the disciple is back." Then he strode forward and bowed in salute.

"Master..." Shen Luo showed surprise. Lu Huaming and Cheng Yaojin turned out to be master-student relationship.

"The brat reeks of alcohol, let's go drink again! The lesson from last time wasn't enough, tell me, did you delay things this time?" Cheng Yaojin twitched his nose, and immediately glared at Lu Huaming, raising his hand to hit him.

"Master, this disciple never drank alcohol during the mission. The smell of alcohol on his body is caused by drinking alcohol after returning from the mission. If you don't believe me, you can ask Fellow Daoist Shen, he saw it with his own eyes!" Lu Huaming hurriedly jumped back and argued loudly.

"Oh, there is another little guy, your surname is Shen? Is this brat telling the truth?" Cheng Yaojin glanced at Shen Luo beside him, and asked.

"Here, Shen Luo, seeing Duke Cheng, brother Lu did not lie, he did drink a few cups after completing the task." Shen Luo stepped forward and saluted, and said.

"In that case, then I'll spare you this time." Cheng Yaojin snorted, ignored Lu Huaming, and turned to look at Shen Luo again.

"Your name is Shen Luo? I've never heard of this name. Are you here to learn from a teacher? The little guy looks good at all, and he looks honest, unlike that little drunkard." He looked Shen Luo up and down, and said carelessly.

"Your Excellency has misunderstood, and I have something to report to you when I come here next time." Shen Luo was suffocated and said hastily.

"Cough! Master, this brother Shen is a friend I knew before, and he taught me the water treading formula. He was also involved in this mission, so I came here with my apprentice to report the situation to you." Lu Huaming Came over and interjected.

"Oh, Treading Water Jue is your spell. This spell is very helpful for us to resist the water demon. The Tang government owes you a favor. If you need help in the future, just come to me." Cheng Yaojin was startled, and then He patted Shen Luo on the shoulder hard, and said with a laugh.

Cheng Yaojin's strength was astonishing, Shen Luo staggered when he was shot, and his shoulder hurt.

Chapter 0429 The Invitation from the Officials

The Cheng Guogong in front of him had a great aura, even higher than General Jin Kui, Qinghua Xiangu and others that he had seen at the previous auction.

It's just that Cheng Yaojin didn't have the sense of superiority of those few people, and his words were easy-going and friendly, which made people feel good.

"It's my boy's wish to be able to contribute to the government of the Tang Dynasty and the people of the Tang Dynasty, how dare I ask for a reward." Shen Luo said seriously.

"Well said, although we monks are beyond the secular world, we are also citizens of the Tang Dynasty, and we should be loyal to the country. It is a pity that there are too few people who have this awareness in the current world of cultivating immortals!" Shen Luo's words are serious. Cheng Yaojin said it in his heart, and he immediately praised it loudly.

Shen Luo and Lu Huaming hastily agreed.

"Boy Shen, Datang needs a man who is enthusiastic about serving the country like you. Do you intend to join the government of the Tang Dynasty? Together with me to protect the family and the country, and protect the peace of the world?" Cheng Yaojin looked at Shen Luo, and the more he looked at it, the more I like it, said suddenly.

Shen Luo was quite moved when he heard the words.

He is now alone. Although he is free, he lacks guidance in cultivation. Joining the Datang government is a good choice.

It's just that there are too many things involved in him now, and the problem of longevity needs to be resolved first.

"Master, brother Shen has another teacher, so don't force others to make things difficult for you, old man." Seeing Shen Luo's hesitant expression, Lu Huaming said.

"That's a pity, but if you change your mind in the future, Shen boy, the door of the Tang government will be open for you at any time." Cheng Yaojin sighed regretfully, and then said again.

"Thank you, Mr. Cheng Guogong, for your kindness. I am very grateful." Shen Luo was moved and thanked.

"Okay, let's not talk about gossip, Hua Ming, you and Shen Xiaoyou came to find me, why? But something went wrong with the mission?" Cheng Yaojin sat down on the main seat and asked seriously.

"That's right, this underworld mission is very strange..." Lu Huaming straightened his expression, and explained all the details of the mission carefully.

He didn't know much, the situation before he arrived was all told by Shen Luo.

"Oh, I didn't expect people from the body training altar to move the seal of the Jinghe Dragon King. That would be a big deal! I know this body training altar has collected a lot of downcast and casual practitioners, and they act viciously. Our Datang government, and others The orthodox sect has encircled and suppressed them several times, but failed to eradicate them completely. Unexpectedly, there are people from them in the Jubao Hall. It seems that the power of the body training altar is greater than we imagined." Cheng Yaojin's face became serious, and slowly Said.

"Master, what kind of ghost is the Jinghe Dragon King? Why is his ghost sealed in the underworld?" Lu Huaming asked.

Shen Luo was also very curious about this matter, and looked at Cheng Yaojin.

"This matter involved a secret affair back then, and His Majesty Taizong was also involved, so you don't need to know for the time being." Cheng Yaojin pondered for a while, then said.

Shen Luo's heart was shocked, he didn't expect that the Jinghe Dragon King ghost was related to Emperor Taizong, but although he was curious in his heart, he didn't dare to ask about it again.

"Yes, master, then how do we deal with this matter?" Lu Huaming also nodded in agreement, and then asked.

"Little friend Shen, how do you think this matter should be handled?" Cheng Yaojin pondered for a while, then suddenly asked Shen Luo beside him.

"The next junior, how dare you participate in the affairs of the Tang government, you can handle it, my lord." Shen Luo was startled, and said hastily.

"No, in this mission, apart from the four fallen monks, you are the main victim. When it comes to how to deal with this matter, I will naturally listen to your opinion." Cheng Yaojin waved his hand and said.

Shen Luo stared blankly at Cheng Yaojin and remained silent.

Although it is said that the government is a place to plead for the people, but there are only a few people who can really do this since ancient times.

"Although this junior encountered a lot of dangers during this trip, he got through it safely in the end. He doesn't feel any resentment in his heart. It is good for the Duke to handle the matter according to his discretion." He was silent for a while, then cupped his hands and said.

"Since Xiaoyou Shen said so, let me handle this matter. Don't worry, I will give you a satisfactory answer in the end." Cheng Yaojin nodded and said.

"Yes, it's up to the Lord to decide." Shen Luo said.

"Okay, you guys go down first." Cheng Yaojin waved and said.

The two stood up, bowed to Cheng Yaojin, and retreated.

"Brother Lu, I still have some things to deal with, so I will take my leave." Shen Luo left the hall, and immediately bid farewell to Lu Huaming.

"Brother Shen is leaving now? Why don't you stay for half a day, I still have some other good wine at my place, we've finished reporting the task, so you can drink with peace of mind." Lu Huaming said.

"No need, Mr. Shen really has something important to do, and if he has a chance in the future, he will have three drinks with brother Lu again." Shen Luo shook his head and said.

"Three cups are not enough, at least three jars!" Lu Huaming laughed.

"Okay, brother Yi Lu." Shen Luo also smiled.

Afterwards, Lu Huaming sent Shen Luo to the door of the Tang government, and the two said goodbye.

Shen Luo left the Datang official residence, did not take a stroll outside, and returned to Changpingfang's residence soon.

Xie Yuxin still didn't come back, Shen Luo asked Zhou Tie to pay attention to the situation in the city, and reported to him in time if there were special matters, and then returned to his residence.

He checked the wound on his body, and seeing that there was nothing serious, he threw himself on the bed.

During this mission, his spirit has been tense and he has not slackened for a moment. He was so tired that he fell asleep as soon as he got out of bed.

Shen Luo slept for two days and two nights, and did not wake up until the third day.

After these two days of rest, the external injuries on his body have basically healed, and the internal injuries have also improved a lot, and he will be able to fully recover after two days of rest.

He went outside first, checked inside and outside the yard, and found that there was no sign of outsiders coming in during the two days after he fell asleep, so he was relieved.

Shen Luo then returned to the house, sat down at the table, and waved his hand.

A small pile of things appeared out of nowhere on the table, which was the reward for this underworld mission.

Two hundred fairy jades, a yellow crystal the size of a fist, two medicine bottles, one white and one black, and three glistening white bones as thick as arms.

This yellow crystal is Huangquan crystal, which is translucent and exudes circles of light yellow halo.

He picked up the Huangquan crystal, and with a thought, he poured mana into it, and the yellow halo around the crystal became ten times brighter immediately.

Shen Luo's eyes were illuminated by the yellow halo, and he couldn't see anything else immediately. There was only a yellow halo constantly rotating in his vision, like a kaleidoscope, and he felt dizzy for a while.
