Chapter 0509 Ten Thousand Ghosts Chang'an

Inside Changle Square, there is still silence, basically no one can be seen along the way, only some lonely souls and wild ghosts wandering in it, it seems that this area of ​​the market is like a haunted corner.

Shen Luo didn't know what was weird about the dark clouds in the sky, so he didn't fly with his sword rashly, but carefully shuttled through the streets and alleys, trying to avoid those evil ghosts, and only when it was inevitable, he would take risks, But it will also strive to kill with one blow and minimize movement.

He just stopped and walked along the way, and besides encountering a lot of ghosts, he also met some human monks, but it was hard to tell who was the enemy, so Shen Luo didn't provoke him, and just kept everything he saw in his heart.

However, what puzzled him was that no one from the Datang government was seen along the way. After all, such a big mess happened, no matter what, the government should be dispatched to clean up the mess.

After Shen Luo passed through three squares in succession, he was approaching the boundary of Yongyefang, and there were killing cries from all around again, and he finally saw the people from the government again.

He happened to meet a group of government soldiers on the street, who were fighting with dozens of ghosts, so he helped to kill them, and then, led by an old soldier, went straight to the Fangmen.

On the street outside the gate of Yongyefang, there are seven or eight camps built, surrounded by a large number of soldiers stationed, and there are also monks sitting in the camps, completely in a state of wartime security.

Shen Luozai was able to enter the workshop after strict interrogation and the testimony of the veteran.

As soon as he entered Yongyefang, he was shocked by the sight in front of him. In the streets and alleys of the workshop, there were simple tents everywhere, and all the people who fled from the south of the city lived in them, all of them had ugly faces. Obviously, they were all in shock.

"How could this be?" Shen Luo frowned and sighed.

Judging from all signs, the severity of the disaster in Chang'an City far exceeded his imagination.

"Sigh, the immortal master doesn't know. This time, the ghosts attacked, and the incident happened too suddenly. Almost all the cities in the south of the city were haunted by ghosts at the same time. The city defense was caught off guard, and it was too late to react. .” The veteran said with a long sigh.

"This ghost attack is obviously manipulated by someone behind it. It is a conspiracy attack on Chang'an City. It is not so easy to deal with." Shen Luo said.

"Isn't it? Last night, the government urgently joined forces with some other monks in the city to exterminate the ghosts. Although they did not gather all their strength, their strength should not be underestimated. What happened? Still failed to kill all the ghosts. They blocked the line from Yongyefang to Chongfufang, and the entire south of the city has been lost." The veteran continued with a sigh.

Hearing this, Shen Luo didn't say anything else, and began to think about the three Qian Tong and the others he met earlier, feeling more and more uneasy.

Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, the old soldier comforted him again:

"Immortal masters don't have to worry, our Datang government is not easy to provoke, it's just that the team hasn't been well-organized for the time being, so there is no full-scale counterattack. Besides, it is reported that people from the city have already sent people out of the city to attack Huasheng Temple and other immortal sects. Call for help. As soon as the reinforcements arrive, give them an inside-out attack, and attack back and forth, so that none of them will try to escape."

There was quite a sense of pride in his words as a soldier of the Tang Dynasty, and Shen Luo was heartbroken when he heard it, and said with a smile:

"It's true, with Cheng Guogong and several major sects around, it won't take long for these monsters to be arrogant."

The veteran was originally coming back from a change of defense, and he and Shen Luo parted ways after walking halfway through the workshop.

Shen Luo walked all the way towards the direction of the imperial city. When he was about to leave Yongyefang, he found that the sky in front of him suddenly brightened. When he looked up again, he realized that the dark clouds above his head only covered this place, and the brilliant light emitted from the direction of the imperial city The weather cuts it off.

Arriving at Cheng Guogong's mansion, the guard at the gate gave a pass, and soon a figure hurried out of the mansion, it was Lu Huaming.

"Hey, brother Shen, you're here." Lu Huaming shouted from afar.

"I encountered a lot of ghosts last night, and something happened during the investigation. I should have come here long ago." Shen Luo said.

"Oh, what's the matter?" Lu Huaming asked hastily, frowning slightly.

Shen Luo then briefly talked about the encounter with the three people in the body training altar.

"It's really not easy for you to escape safely from the hands of the three soul-condensing monks." Lu Huaming looked at Shen Luo up and down, and seeing that he had no obvious injuries, he patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said.

"What is the situation right now? Why does it seem that half of Chang'an City has fallen?" Shen Luo asked.

"The situation is a bit complicated. I won't be able to explain it to you very clearly for a while, but the upper echelons of the government have already taken countermeasures, so there is no need to worry too much. It's just that the time is not right now, and the people are suffering." Lu Hua sighed. road.

With that said, he led Shen Luo all the way to Cheng's mansion.

"Now is the time for employing people, and the imperial court issued a list in the morning, calling all the monks in the city, no matter whether they are immortal masters of the clan genealogy or casual cultivators, they must all be recruited to temporarily join the government's command to resist ghosts together." Lu Huaming walked Said sideways.

"To serve the people of Great Tang loyally, I will do my best." Shen Luo said without hesitation.

"Haha, what brother Shen said is true. In this way, you and I can fight side by side again." Lu Huaming also laughed.

As soon as he finished speaking, bursts of light suddenly flickered on the badge hanging around his waist.

"I wanted to take you to rest for a while, but it seems impossible. The government called urgently, and I have to go there immediately." Lu Huaming frowned slightly, apologetically.

"It's okay, if I can help, I'll go with you too." Shen Luo waved his hand and said.

Lu Huaming hesitated for a moment, and then said: "It should not be a combat matter... How about it, I will take you there together, just to send you to the recruiting place, where the Tibetan army hall is the place where monks are recruited."

"Okay." Shen Luo nodded.

The two immediately rushed to the Datang government. On the way, Shen Luo told Lu Huaming what he had seen along the way.

"Brother Shen, what you said is very important information. It will be of great significance to our future operations. It is already a great achievement." Lu Huaming said with a smile.

When Shen Luo heard the words, he didn't pay much attention.

After Lu Huaming sent Shen Luo all the way to the Tibetan Army Hall, he left first.

Standing in the somewhat empty square outside the hall, Shen Luo took a look at the majestic vermilion hall in front of him, and walked in.

Inside the main hall, there are not many furnishings, and facing you is a confidential cabinet that is almost as high as the roof. It is densely covered with squares of various sizes. .

In front of the confidential cabinet, there were three desks, and behind each sat a man from the government wearing a court uniform, all of them were busy flipping through the documents in their hands, and for a while, no one noticed Shen Luo's arrival.

"Cough cough."

Shen Luo coughed twice, the three of them were startled at the same time, and raised their heads one after another.

"It's the immortal master who came to register, how do you call him?" A person sitting in the middle, about 50 to [-] years old, with a thin figure and clear facial features, stood up first, and clasped his fists at Shen Luo.

The other two were quite young, so they immediately got up and gave a respectful salute, then sat down with their heads down, and went about their own affairs.

Chapter 0510 Recruitment

"I'm Shen Luo, a monk of Chunqiu Temple in Chunhua County." Shen Luo bowed back and announced his family name.

"Immortal Master Gao Yi is admirable. He Wenzheng, the secretary of the Ministry of War." The man in the middle seemed to have never heard of the name "Chunqiu Temple". He hesitated for a moment, but said respectfully.

"I've seen Mr. He." Shen Luo greeted after hearing the words.

"Don't dare to call me an adult, dare to ask how the immortal master is cultivated?" He Wenzheng waved his hands hurriedly, and asked again.

"In the early stage of concentrating the soul." Shen Luo replied.

When He Wenzheng heard the words, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he said immediately:

"Our recruitment of monks this time will be deployed in accordance with the military system. Since Master Shen is a monk at the soul-condensing stage, he can be directly promoted to be a chief and lead ten monks below the bigu stage."

"How long? Is there such a division?" Shen Luo was a little surprised.

"I don't know anything about the immortal master. Five people make up a team, with a bigu stage monk as the head of the team. Two teams make up one team, and a soul condensing stage monk serves as the team leader. Three teams make up a standard, and one out of the body The monk Qi served as the standard leader, and the superiors commanded the subordinates, with a clear hierarchy and smooth orders." He Wenwen explained.

"So that's the case, then it's up to Mr. Lao He." Shen Luo nodded and said.

While talking, He Wenzheng sat down, skillfully took out a blank scroll, asked about Shen Luo's situation, and began to write on it.

There are a lot of records in it, including the place of origin, the experience of cultivating Taoism, and even the situation of the exercises practiced.

Shen Luo heard it in his ears, and frowned slightly, feeling a little disgusted.

"Master Immortal, don't get me wrong. The dangers of this recruitment mission are unpredictable. The reason why I recorded these is to deal with some unexpected situations, so that the court's compensation will not be delivered anywhere." He Wenzheng noticed that Shen Luo was a little impatient, and quickly explained road.

Hearing this, Shen Luo understood a little bit, but still couldn't help asking:

"Why do you need to register the exercises you have practiced?"

"I don't need to go into detail about this, just briefly talk about the attributes of the exercises, and what I'm good at. It's just for reference when assigning teams, so that monks with similar attributes can join forces." He Wenzheng replied quickly.

Hearing this, Shen Luo nodded, as if he accepted the explanation.

He Wenzheng secretly wiped off his cold sweat, seeing that Shen Luo was reasonable, he felt at ease.

"Master Shen, in order to make unified arrangements, all recruited monks must temporarily live in a separate garden on the side of the government. I will show you a map. There are still more than half of the houses vacant in the Yaji Garden. You can choose according to your preference." he went on.

"My lord, please help me find a quiet place to live." Shen Luo said.

"Okay, Master Immortal will wait a moment."

After all, He Wenzheng searched and pointed out several secluded places on the blueprint for Shen Luo to choose from.

Shen Luo picked out an independent two-story building in the southwest corner, took the key, checked in, and prepared to leave.

"Don't worry, Immortal Master, this is your waist card. From now on, you will record all your achievements in killing ghosts and demons, and performing missions. You can use this to receive corresponding rewards." He Wenzheng hurriedly stopped him, from He took out a palm-sized token from the drawer and handed it over.

Shen Luo took it over and took a look, and found that it was somewhat similar to Lu Huaming's waist card, but it was different. It was inlaid with a dark green spar and engraved with the word "Lin".

"How does this little token record achievements?" Shen Luo asked.

"After the immortal master kills the ghost, he only needs to keep a ray of evil spirit on this token to record a little merit. The more ghost spirit is left, the more merit points will be recorded, and the rewards that can be exchanged later will also be higher. More and more. However, this is just a trivial merit point, the big one's merit is obtained by performing tasks, this is settled on a team basis, and usually corporal leaders and special leaders will have [-]% more than ordinary members." He Wenzheng said.

"What is the specific reward?" Shen Luo asked again.

"Usually, merit points can be exchanged for immortal jade, but if the immortal master has any special requirements, such as wanting to exchange land and acres for the family, it can also be used. In addition, the Datang treasury will also provide some treasured spiritual materials and magic tools As a reward, but the merit points required are higher. The specific situation will be known when the immortal master goes to the exchange office later." He Wenzheng said.

Shen Luo nodded, suddenly remembered something, and asked: "Then where can I accept this task?"

"For this call, everything is based on the rules of the army. There is no need to accept the task. It is directly assigned by the military center according to the difficulty of the task. When it is executed, the fairy master's token will respond. All you need to do is to come here to gather. Good. Normally, if there are no special circumstances, the immortal master cannot refuse the summoning order." He Wenzheng explained.

"I see. I understand." Shen Luo nodded, said goodbye and left.

He tied his waist badge around his waist, left here, and went directly to Yajiyuan according to the map instructions just now.

Along the way, when the government guards saw the token on his waist, no one stopped him and saluted him instead.

Yaji Garden is located in the southwest of Datang Mansion, Shen Luo soon walked along a stream in the garden to the southwest corner, and found his small building.

The location of the small building is quite remote, there is no courtyard wall or the like around it, it is just a lonely and independent wooden small building.

Shen Luo pushed the door open and went in, and found that the inside had been swept clean. There was a three-legged incense burner on the table. Although it was not lit, there was still a faint smell of agarwood in the room.

Shen Luo felt a little tired, looked at the furnishings in the house, and after setting up the formation on the first floor, he went straight to the second floor.

The second floor is a quiet room, except for a table in front of the window, there is only a soft couch next to the wall, nothing else.

Shen Luo came to the couch and sat down, and began to meditate and adjust his breath.

After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes, and his energy and energy finally returned to perfection.

With a wave of Shen Luo's hand, a porcelain vase appeared in front of him. Inside was still the healing milk elixir. He planned to try the method of opening the veins of Xuanyin again.

This time, it is no longer a collateral meridian, but an attempt to open up the Hand Yangming Large Intestine Meridian among the Twelve Orthodox Classics.

Compared with the collateral meridians, the Twelve Orthodox Meridians flow into more acupoints, the meridians have a longer path, and are more important to the human body, so the potential risks are naturally greater.

However, with so much experience in the dream, and the previous success, Shen Luo was given a lot of confidence.

He raised his hand and patted the Qiankun bag on his waist, and the figure of the ghost general floated out again. The black light on his body was solidified, and his breath became more stable. It seemed that he was stronger than before.

"Looking at your appearance, it seems that your skill has improved again?" Shen Luo asked after sweeping across the ghost general with his divine sense.

"Reporting to Master, I don't know why, after you almost emptied the evil spirit in my body last time, when I replenished it again, the speed was much faster than before, and after this back and forth change, I found that my evil spirit His physique seems to be more stable." Ghost General immediately cupped his fists and said with unconcealed joy.

"Eh, there's more to this?" Shen Luo also felt a little surprised and said.

"It's absolutely true! Master... I don't know when you will practice yesterday's method again?" Ghost General asked cautiously.

Chapter 0511 The First Mission

"I'm going to practice today. I wanted to use the evil energy stored in the Qiankun bag, but judging by your current situation, I'm afraid there is not much evil energy in the bag?" Shen Luo said after hearing the words.

"Reporting to the master, the evil spirit has indeed been absorbed by the subordinate, but the evil spirit that has entered the subordinate's body is more pure, and can be used by the master at will." The ghost general immediately clasped his fists and said.

"It's so good. There will be many tasks to kill ghosts these days, and you don't have to worry about having nowhere to make up for it." Shen Luo said.

"Yes." The ghost general responded immediately, and sat cross-legged on the opposite side of Shen Luo consciously.

Shen Luo focused his eyes slightly, and together with his fingers, he began to draw on his arm, and after a while, he drew a blood-red talisman with dense patterns.

He pointed at the ghost with two fingers, and a ray of pure evil spirit began to move towards the rune on his arm.

As soon as the light on the talisman shines, the intense pain of the ant pattern and silkworm bites hits again, Shen Shen immediately restrains his mind, and cautiously begins to perform the technique of opening the mysterious yin veins.

In the blink of an eye, it was already the morning after three days.

A suppressed growl came from inside the small building, and the windows on the second floor that had been closed were suddenly pushed open.

Shen Luo stood by the window, his eyes were bright, the remaining aura fluctuated in his body, and the Yangming Large Intestine Meridian on his arm was flickering with blue light, which was obviously penetrated.

In order to open up this dharma channel, Shen Luo suffered more than before, including opening the channel in his dream. During this time, his hand Yangming large intestine meridian was ruptured three times, and Quchi and Hegu acupoints were ruptured once respectively.

The three broken pulses were fine, and he repaired them all with the large open stripping technique, but the explosion at Quchi acupoint almost destroyed half of his arm, and even seriously injured his chest, abdomen and heart veins. If he hadn't taken the milk elixir in time, even if he survived by luck, his road to cultivation would probably come to an end in the future.

But no matter how much hardship he endured, Shen Luo's dharma lineage was finally condensed.

He stood at the window to breathe for a while, gazed at the beautiful scenery outside, his mood gradually calmed down, then sat back on the ground again, began to close his eyes and adjust his breath, and tried to practice the "Huang Ting Jing" exercises.

Just after trying it, his eyes suddenly opened, and his eyes were full of inconceivable expressions.
