big dream master

The two of Shen Luo hurried forward to salute.

Chapter 0497

"Little brat, why did you come here so slowly! You smell like alcohol, and you're going to drink again!" Cheng Yaojin glanced at the two of them, and immediately shouted at Lu Huaming.

Lu Huaming lowered his head and dared not respond.

"I know nonsense all day long, and my practice is half-hearted. Look at Shen Luo. He used to be far behind you in cultivation, but now he has caught up with you, and he still doesn't know how to make progress!" Cheng Yaojin looked at Shen Luo with a look of surprise in his eyes. , and then continued to reprimand Lu Huaming.

Shen Luo was a little embarrassed, but he couldn't say anything, so he stood silently aside.

"Okay, my lord, Shen Xiaoyou is still here, in front of outsiders, to save some face for Martial Nephew Lu." Master Huang Mu said.

Cheng Yaojin stopped talking when he saw Master Huang Mu talking.

With his hands behind his back, Lu Huaming secretly made a pass gesture to Shen Luo, making Shen Luo dumbfounded.

"Haha, boy Shen, this time you have done Datang government a great favor again." Cheng Yaojin immediately looked at Shen Luo, immediately changed into a smiling face, and laughed.

"Mr. Cheng Guo won the award. Although the younger generation is a casual cultivator, he is also a citizen of the Tang Dynasty. He understands what justice is. When he sees evil things slaughtering people, he naturally can't just sit idly by." Shen Luo said hastily, maintaining humility.

"Well, this is exactly the demeanor of a chivalrous person of my generation!" Master Huang Mu praised while stroking his beard.

"Thank you, Senior Huang Mu, for your appreciation. What I'm doing today is only for the people wholeheartedly, but in the eyes of some people, maybe Shen is in collusion with demons." Shen Luo sighed pointedly.

"Boy Shen, don't worry, my old Cheng promises to clarify these rumors for you!" Cheng Yaojin said, patting his chest.

"Then thank you Cheng Guogong!" Shen Luo was overjoyed.

Wu Ming used this excuse to slander him. Although it doesn't seem to have any influence on him at present, the other party is a disciple of Putuo Mountain after all. He dare not underestimate the influence of this world's great sect, but with Cheng Yaojin's words, He was relieved.

"Cheng Guogong, Senior Huang Mu, you two called us over, what's the matter?" Shen Luo asked again.

"I called you here mainly because of two things. First, my government in the Tang Dynasty has always been very clear about rewards and punishments. The last trip to the underworld, plus this time against the Dragon King of Jinghe, you have made two great achievements in succession. I will discuss with Cheng Guogong. Finally, I decided to give you some substantive rewards, what do you want? The resources of the Datang government are quite rich, as long as it is an item that can be named, you can basically find it." Master Huang Mu said.

"Thank you, Master Huang Mu and Cheng Guogong for your kindness. I do have something I want. I have the audacity to ask you two to give me some Duality True Water." After thinking about it, Shen Luo cupped his hands and said.

What he needs most at the moment is life-prolonging things, as well as dual-element true water. The Tang government should have life-prolonging treasures, but if he makes this request, it may arouse the suspicion of Master Huang Mu and Cheng Yaojin, and expose the jade pillow. The risk of secrecy.

"Dual Yuan True Water? I remember that there is some of this in the storeroom?" Master Huang Mu frowned slightly, and then asked Cheng Yaojin.

When Shen Luo heard this, he couldn't help being overjoyed.

"Unfortunately, the Binary True Water was exchanged with the Natural History Shop last year." Cheng Yaojin shook his head.

Shen Luo was disappointed when he heard this, but he also had a thought, could it be that Chen Gang's Binary True Water was obtained from the Datang government?

"Well, it can only be transferred from the outside. It will take some time. I wonder if little friend Shen may wait? Or can it be replaced with other auxiliary treasures of water attribute exercises?" Master Huang Mu looked at Shen Luo.

"I'm willing to wait, so I don't need to change it to something else." Shen Luo said hastily, there is no more suitable item to assist the cultivation of water attribute skills than Dual Element True Water.

"Well, it will take about two months to allocate the Dual Element True Water, so you can come to the Tang government to get it when the time comes." Master Huang Mu said.

"Yes." Shen Luo hurriedly agreed.

"Martial nephew Lu also made some contributions this time. I'll talk about your rewards later. The second thing I asked you to come over is to let you explain in detail what happened to you today when you met the Dragon King of Jinghe." Master Huang Mu smiled, Said solemnly.

Seeing this, Shen Luo and Lu Huaming did not dare to be negligent, and each carefully explained what happened today.

Cheng Yaojin sighed after listening.

"Cheng Guogong, I didn't participate in what happened back then. According to what they said, is it possible to be sure that that person is the Jinghe Dragon King?" Master Huang Mu pondered for a moment, looked at Cheng Yaojin and asked.

"It was indeed him. I never thought that he would actually come back. No wonder today the golden bell in the palace rang and all the beasts cried out. I was called into the palace urgently by His Majesty, and I couldn't deal with the affairs in the east of the city in time. Fortunately, Mr. Huang Mu, you returned early. That's why it didn't cause a catastrophe." Cheng Yaojin sighed.

"Master, what happened to the Dragon King of Jing River? Why did Duke Wei cut off his head and suppress him in the river? Why did he threaten to seek revenge from His Majesty?" Lu Huaming asked.

Shen Luo was also very curious, so he raised his ears to listen.

Cheng Yaojin showed hesitation, and didn't speak for a moment.

"Cheng Guogong, Pindao thinks it's okay to tell them. Nephew Lu and Xiaoyou Shen have been involved in the Jinghe Dragon King incident twice in succession. It seems that they are all destined, and this event may need their actions to end." Huang Mushang said the man.

"Okay. It's a long story. It starts from the 13th year of Zhenguan. At that time, there was a gentleman in the city named Yuan Shoucheng who taught fortune-telling. He was said to be able to know Yin and Yang and determine life and death. There was an old man fishing outside the city, who gave Yuan Shoucheng a golden carp every day, and asked Yuan Shoucheng to figure out where to cast the net and where to throw the hook. The Dragon King of the Shaojing River was furious when he heard about this, and came to Chang'an City to find Yuan Shoucheng to settle the score." Cheng Yaojin said slowly.

"Yuan Shoucheng..." Shen Luo raised his eyebrows, recalling the name Yuan Tiangang that the Dragon King of Jinghe called out before he left. Both of them were surnamed Yuan. Could it be related to this Yuan Shoucheng?

"The Dragon King of Jinghe came to Chang'an City and found Yuan Shoucheng. The two bet on the weather of the next day. If Yuan Shoucheng's calculations are not accurate, he will leave Chang'an City and never come back." Cheng Yaojin continued.

"Since ancient times, the dragon clan has been responsible for carrying clouds and rain. The Jing River is located outside Chang'an City. The Dragon King of Jing River rules the wind and rain near Chang'an City. He gambles on the weather. It seems that he is determined to drive Na Yuan Shoucheng out of Chang'an. It's a city, what a rascal." Lu Huaming pouted and interjected.

Shen Luo and the Jinghe Dragon King met several times today, and they got to know his temperament a little bit. Although the Jinghe Dragon King's move was a bit rascal, it was also for the sake of the Jinghe Shui Clan, so there is nothing to praise or criticize.

Moreover, Yuan Shoucheng was also quite strange, why did he divination the movements of the Jinghe aquarium for the old fisherman? Could it be that there was something special about the golden carp he was looking for?

Chapter 0498 Dragon Slaying in a Dream

"The Dragon King of Jinghe did have this intention, but Yuan Shoucheng's divination technique is in the way of heaven, and the heavenly court suddenly issued an imperial edict requesting that the Dragon King of Jinghe should rain tomorrow. The time points in the imperial edict are exactly the same as Yuan Shoucheng's calculation. Changing the time points for raining violated the rules of heaven, and the heavens found out about it, and they were beheaded and killed in the end." Cheng Yaojin continued.

"So that's the case, but why did the Jinghe Dragon King seek revenge from His Majesty?" Lu Huaming felt a little stunned, and then asked again.

"The Dragon King of Jinghe learned that he had violated the rules of heaven and asked Yuan Shoucheng for help. Yuan Shoucheng calculated that the Dragon King of Jinghe would be beheaded by Prime Minister Wei Zheng Daitian at [-]:[-] noon tomorrow, and asked him to go to His Majesty for help. Your Majesty is grateful for the sincerity of the Dragon King of Jinghe. The next day, Wei Zheng was summoned to the palace and stayed by his side. The original intention was to delay the time, so that Wei Zheng had no time to leave the palace to execute the Dragon King of Jinghe. It was delayed until noon. , His Majesty let him doze off without calling. Seeing that it was three o'clock in the afternoon, His Majesty thought that the Jinghe Dragon King had escaped a catastrophe, so he was relieved. Suddenly he saw beads of sweat on Wei Zheng's forehead, and his expression was slightly agitated. Your Majesty was afraid Because of the hot weather, I felt sorry for the virtuous minister, so I personally fanned Wei Zheng. At this moment, someone outside the hall asked to see him, but it was Xu Maogong, Qin Shubao and others who entered the hall holding a dragon head. I was among them that day, and the dragon head suddenly fell from the sky. After we have discussed it, I dare not not play, so I came here to report to His Majesty." Cheng Yaojin said this, with a look of reminiscence on his face, as if he was recalling the situation of that day.

"Since Master Wei Zheng didn't leave the palace, who killed the Jinghe Dragon King?" Lu Huaming was surprised and couldn't help asking.

Shen Luo also felt very strange, and looked at Cheng Yaojin.

"Wei Zheng was also awakened at this moment. After apologizing, he said that he killed the dragon in his dream. It turned out that although he was fighting in front of the king, he left the palace in his dream. He drove the cloud and raised his sword to chase and kill the dragon. The Dragon King of Jinghe fled in a hurry. , Wei Zheng couldn't catch up for a while, and was anxious in his heart, fortunately, His Majesty played a fan for him, and with the help of the three cool winds, he caught up with the evil dragon, cut off the dragon's head with a sword, and the dragon's head rolled into the void." Cheng Yao Kim said.

"So that's what happened." Lu Huaming nodded and murmured.

Shen Luo sighed silently, the Dragon King of Jinghe originally wanted to protect his fellow clan, but it was a pity that he was too aggressive, which ended up like this.

"After the Dragon King of Jinghe River was beheaded, the ghost was angry and cast a spell to arrest His Majesty's soul to the underworld to confront him, saying that His Majesty promised to save him, but instead of saving him, he helped Wei Zheng to kill him. Pay for his life. Although His Majesty assisted Wei Zheng in beheading the Jinghe Dragon King, it was just an unintentional act, and he was the Lord of the Tang Dynasty. His life span was not over, and there were some masters who cast spells. The Yin Division did not detain him, so he was sent back soon. And in order to prevent the Jinghe Dragon King from harassing His Majesty again, that expert took action and sealed the Jinghe Dragon King somewhere in the underworld, which is where you went last time. Wei Zheng used the golden light sword array to seal the Jinghe Dragon King His head was suppressed in Chang'an City." Cheng Yaojin continued.

"Who is the master who can seal the ghost of the Jinghe Dragon King?" Lu Huaming asked in surprise.

He has personally experienced the strength of the ghost of the Dragon King of Jinghe River, even Cheng Yaojin might not be able to defeat it himself, but someone can seal it, could it be an immortal?

"You know that expert, he is the national teacher Yuan Tiangang." Cheng Yaojin said solemnly.

Shen Luo raised his eyebrows, no wonder the Dragon King of Jinghe called for revenge on Yuan Tiangang before leaving, it turned out that there was still such a grudge between them.

This national teacher, Yuan Tiangang, has lived in Chang'an for such a long time, and he has heard it said several times that he can know the past and the future, and predict good and bad fortune, like a god-man.

He originally thought it was a marketer spreading rumors, but now it seems that this Yuan Guoshi is really a master.

"Master National Teacher looks very ill, but he is so serious!" Lu Huaming murmured.

"Stop talking nonsense! Master Guo Shi's supernatural powers are beyond your imagination. If it weren't for him, our Tang Dynasty would not be as strong as it is today." Cheng Yaojin said.

"Yes, I know my mistake." Lu Huaming still had a trace of disbelief on his face, but he hastily admitted his mistake.

Cheng Yaojin was too lazy to talk to his cunning apprentice.

"Cheng Guogong, Senior Huang Mu, I have a doubt, I don't know if I should ask it." Shen Luo hesitated for a moment, but still cupped his hands and said.

"Little friend, you don't have to be so polite, just speak up if you have anything to say." Master Huang Mu smiled.

"Since that's the case, let me just say it directly. I don't know what is the relationship between that Yuan Tiangang Guoshi and Yuan Shoucheng who taught hexagrams? With all due respect, Yuan Shoucheng may have ulterior motives in divination for the old fisherman's location of the Jinghe Shui Clan. "Shen Luo said.

"Little friend Shen is astute. On this matter, the old man also thinks so. It's just that Yuan Shoucheng disappeared without a trace after the Jinghe Dragon King was beheaded. I also sent people to look for this person everywhere, but there was no trace of him. Yes. As for this person and Yuan Guoshi seem to have nothing to do, the old man once asked Yuan Guoshi, and he said he did not know this Yuan Shoucheng." Master Huang Mu said.

Shen Luo frowned, this matter was really suspicious.

"Your Majesty is involved in this matter, as long as the two of you know about it, don't let others know about it." After finishing everything, Cheng Yaojin warned.

Shen Luo and Lu Huaming naturally agreed.

Next, Shen Luo saw that he had nothing to do, so he left immediately. Cheng Yaojin and the others seemed to have important matters to discuss, so they did not stay.

He quickly left the Datang government, and was about to stop a carriage and return to his residence.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, long time no see." A clear female voice came, and a girl in white clothes stood in front of her, but it was Ma Xiuxiu whom I hadn't seen for a long time.

"It turned out to be Miss Ma. I haven't seen you for a long time. Jubaotang is worthy of being one of the three great chambers of commerce in the Tang Dynasty. I found this place so quickly." Shen Luo's pupils shrank slightly, and then returned to normal, and said with a thorn in his words.

After advancing to the soul condensing stage, his fear of Jubaotang has been reduced a lot invisibly.

"Fellow Daoist Shen displayed his supernatural power in the east of the city and repelled the ghost of the Dragon King of Jinghe River. This matter has already been spread in the city. I have some contacts in Jubaotang, so I heard about it." Ma Xiuxiu didn't seem to feel the thorn in Shen Luo's words. , laughed.

"So that's the case, why is Miss Ma coming here now?" Shen Luo nodded slightly, and then asked.

"Shen Daoyou is really a noble person who forgets things too much. The Dream Remembrance Talisman you promised to make for me back then has passed more than a year now. I don't know if there is any clue?" Ma Xiuxiu said with some dissatisfaction.

"I've already drawn the Dream Remembrance Talisman, but I've been busy recently, so I didn't send it in time. Please don't blame Miss Ma." Shen Luo patted his forehead, and then took out a yellow talisman. It was the Dream Remembrance Talisman. Take the time to draw.

As soon as Ma Xiuxiu saw this talisman, her eyes immediately brightened, and she almost lost her composure and grabbed it.

Chapter 0499

"I'm sorry, it's about my father's life and death. The little girl lost her composure just now, please don't blame fellow Daoist Shen." Ma Xiuxiu immediately realized that her behavior was inappropriate, and said with a reddish face.

"Ma girl cares about her family, it's just human nature." Shen Luo said.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Shen, for your understanding." Ma Xiuxiu thanked her.

She took the Dream Recalling Talisman, seemed to be in a hurry to return, and quickly said goodbye and left.

Shen Luo watched the woman's figure go away, then turned around and walked slowly in another direction.

……

East of Chang'an City, Changlefang.

As the evening approached, the lanterns in the squares and markets were first turned on, illuminating the entire street in red, and there were bursts of musical instruments playing and the sound of cups clashing from the restaurants and pavilions on both sides of the street, which was still very lively.

In the smaller streets and alleys, rows of night market restaurants and small stalls have been set up one after another. Warm white smoke is rising from the roadside to the stove and pot, and there are chaotic shouts everywhere.

During Shen Luo's walk, his mind kept wandering into the sky. He was still replaying the scene of fighting the dragon soul during the day, and felt extremely aggrieved and depressed. generally invincible situation.

Thinking about it this way, his desire to improve his strength as soon as possible became more and more eager.

It's just that the duality true water on his body has been consumed, and it's impossible to continue to improve his realm with this thing, so he can only think of other ways.

"Mutton in a water basin, hot mutton soup, soft meat..." At this time, the shouts from the street were mixed with a strong aroma, interrupting his train of thought.

It has long passed the sinking of the bigu period, and for the first time, I was seduced by gluttons. Sitting in a restaurant on the side of the street, I ordered a bowl of steaming hot mutton in a water basin, and started to feast on it.

Small vendors on the side of the road chatted with regular customers. Some people mentioned the chaos of ghosts and ghosts in the city recently, and most of them felt that Chang'an City was not stable anymore.

Some complained about the bad morals of the world, some comforted their own officials to take care of them, and some said that they were all high-level gods fighting, and they had little to do with ordinary people.

Shen Luo just listened silently, didn't interrupt to say anything, but his heart was full of emotions. When the terrifying catastrophe came, how could there be any creature in this world who could stay out of it?

After eating and drinking enough, he paid the bill, stood up and burped in satisfaction, left the booth and walked back to his residence.

Shen Luo had already made up his mind, and began to practice Xuanyin Meridian Opening Jue, trying to open up new dharma veins, so as to increase his practice speed.

"Pillage and true water are foreign things after all, and only by improving one's own qualifications is the real way to make progress." Shen Luo sighed.

Having mastered part of the Great Opening and Stripping Technique before, and having the experience of practicing Xuanyin Opening Meridian Jue in his dream as a base, he is somewhat confident that he can successfully open the meridians.

Even if he can't succeed at one time, there is still a large peeling technique to repair the damaged veins and flesh and blood wounds, and the risks are all within controllable range, not to mention that he still has the holy medicine of healing on him now.

This pill claims that as long as you don't die, even if you hang your last breath, it can save people from dying and repair any injuries. It can be described as a life-saving weapon.

After returning to the private courtyard, Shen Luo went straight back to the room and began to meditate with his eyes closed.

After adjusting his breath for a long time, he slowly opened his eyes, flipped his wrist, took out a red porcelain bottle and put it in front of him, and then took out the universe bag and held it in his hand.

Although Shen Luo had already reviewed the details of the operation of the Xuanyin Meridian Art thousands of times in his mind, he was still a little worried about implementing it, and he had to be fully prepared.

With a wave of his palm, the mouth of the Qiankun bag was slowly opened, and a wisp of black smoke flew out from it, followed by the figure of the ghost general in the soul condensing period also emerged.

"See Master." The ghost general clasped his fists at Shen Luo and said as soon as he appeared.

"You don't need to be too polite, I asked you to come out today because I need your help with something." Shen Luo waved his hand and said.

"I would like to ruin my master's mind, but please give me your orders." The ghost general continued without standing up straight.

The people in the army have many faiths, and once subdued, they are often more loyal, and it is obvious that this ghost general is no exception.

"I want to practice a secret method, and I need to borrow the evil spirit from your body. It may cause some damage to you, but I will find a way to compensate you afterwards." Shen Luo said.

"Master's matter, death will never leave, why dare to ask for any compensation." Ghost General said without hesitation.

"Okay, you just need to sit cross-legged for a while, and ignore other things." Shen Luo said.

"No." The ghost general cupped his fists and said.

After saying a word, it sat down cross-legged, with its hands on its knees, motionless like a sculpture.
