"The disciple was about to explain the matter to Master Luo. When the disciple returned home this time, his father spent a lot of money to buy a strange red fruit from a foreign businessman. He said it was a great tonic. After the disciple took it, The yang energy in the body has greatly increased, and it is almost reaching the state of perfection." Shen Luo was shocked, and secretly thought that it was coming, but there was an excited look on his face.
As he spoke, his body glowed with a rich red light.
Daoren Luo originally wanted to stretch out his hand to feel the situation inside Shen Luo's body. When he saw the red light on his body, he lowered his raised hand and looked at the red light on Shen Luo's body, showing surprise. color.
"Master Luo, when I complete my practice of the Little Yang Transformation Technique, I will leave it to you for the Chunyang Sword Technique." Shen Luo saw Taoist Luo's actions in his eyes and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. But he said so.
"Since I promised you, I will not regret it, but what kind of red fruit are you taking?" Luo Daoren looked at Shen Luo and asked.
Shen Luo had already prepared words to deal with it, describing a mysterious fruit with an oval shape, a fiery red body, and flame patterns on the surface.
The appearance of this red fruit was not something he imagined out of thin air, but a spiritual fruit called "Fire Origin Fruit" that he had seen in a book before.
However, he did not completely describe it as the Fire Origin Fruit. He made certain changes, 70% true and 30% false, so that Luo Taoist would not think he was lying, but could not be sure that it was the Fire Origin Fruit. , thus seeing the flaw.
"From your description, your red fruit may be a fire essence fruit, or even a different species, but I can't be sure. In any case, you are lucky, and this can be regarded as your destiny. ." Taoist Luo said in amazement.
"It's all Master Toro's great blessing." Shen Luo said with a smile.
"Since you have had this adventure, you should practice the Small Huayang Gong more diligently to strive for perfection as soon as possible, then break through the Dharma nature, advance to the Qi refining stage, and solve your longevity problem." Luo Taoist He warned without paying too much attention to this matter.
"Yes, I will definitely work hard and not let you down." Shen Luo hurriedly and solemnly agreed.
Next, Taoist Luo no longer cared about Shen Luo's cultivation and urged Shui Yunduo to go on his way.
Seeing this, Shen Luo did not dare to speak and stood respectfully beside him. The two of them hurried on their way and returned to Chunqiu Temple in the afternoon.
Taoren Luo went to report back to the leader, while Shen Luo returned to his residence on his own.
After half a night and a day, he was exhausted and fell asleep when he returned to his residence.
This sleep lasted for a long time. When Shen Luo woke up, it was already dark outside, and a bright moon rose into the sky. It must have been late at night.
He stretched out and felt that he had a great sleep, and he was extremely energetic at the moment.
"I wonder how the jade pillow can change?" Shen Luo suddenly remembered something, took out the jade pillow from the bottom of the bed, then took a ghost-expelling charm and put it on his body, using his magic power to activate it. His eyes immediately became hazy.
Shen Luo then looked at Jade Pillow and suddenly let out a light sigh.
The jade pillow was empty at the moment, and those transparent light strands did not appear.
"Why is it gone? Could it be..." A guess came up in Shen Luo's mind. He stared at the jade pillow closely, wanting to see what changes would happen to it.
After looking at it for a while, his eyelids slowly became sour, and he felt sleepy.
"I just woke up, why do I suddenly want to sleep again?" Shen Luo was secretly frightened and hurriedly patted his cheek, trying to dispel the sleepiness.
But not only did the sleepiness not subside, but it grew stronger.
He tried his best to persist, but in the end he was unable to resist the Sandman. He fell softly on the bed, pressed the jade pillow under him, and fell into sleep.
After an unknown period of time, Shen Luo slowly opened his eyes in a daze.
He rubbed his sleepy eyes, and suddenly felt a gust of cool wind blowing over him. He couldn't help but shiver, and he immediately sat up soberly.
When he raised his eyes, he found that the sky around him was dark, and he couldn't tell whether it was dawn or dusk. He could only see a dilapidated and desolate old building standing not far in front of him.
Shen Luo's heart tightened, and he hurriedly lowered his head to look at himself, only to find that he was only wearing a thin underwear, which was still covered with dried blood.
This attire was clearly what he wore when he was in Fengchi City. He still clearly remembered that the original robe was taken off when he used it to hide himself in the ashes of the Green Wolf.
"It seems that I have fallen into a dream again..." Shen Luo immediately understood his situation.
He hurriedly opened his clothes and carefully checked every part of his body. He found that the injuries from the previous fight with the demon wolf had healed, and he felt a little relieved.
At this moment, a flash of surprise suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he quickly pulled off the clothes on his right shoulder to take a look.
"Why is it gone?" Shen Luo exclaimed.
His voice was not loud, but it still startled a few crows perched on a dead tree nearby, and they all flew away with "flutter".
The reason why Shen Luo was so surprised was that he found that the skull pattern on his shoulder had mysteriously disappeared, and the talisman he carried with him was also not around.
It’s understandable that the talisman is missing, but why is the tattoo-like skull pattern also missing?
"Could it be that magic power..."
Shen Luo felt a little panicked, and hurriedly pinched the magic formula and activated the nameless skill.
After a while, he finally breathed a sigh of relief when he found that the magic power in his dantian was still flowing freely.
He put on his clothes, stabilized his mind, stood up, and looked around carefully.
The surrounding grass is lush, and the air is full of moisture, condensing into a thick fog that makes it impossible to see clearly from a few feet away.
What he was standing on seemed to be an old blue brick road with many damages on it., overgrown with weeds in the gaps, extending to the old building in front.
Shen Luo took a few steps forward and realized that the ancient building was actually the mountain gate of a temple. The roof tiles on the front of the gate were covered with grass, and the vermilion paint on the door wall had already been mottled and peeled off. You can also see the four characters "Treasure and Solemnity".
The half-opened mountain gate almost fell over, and there was a plaque hanging crookedly above the door, with the three characters "Jialan Temple" engraved on it.
"Looking at this dilapidated appearance, it must have been abandoned for at least a hundred years, right?" Shen Luo said to himself.
Many of the ghost stories he has read mentioned that in the ancient temple on the barren mountain, there are often scenes of beautiful ghosts with skeletons using illusions to seduce the scholars who came to Beijing to take the exam. They were often written in extremely charming ways.
Of course, these cannot be true, but it was also mentioned in "The Chronicle of Master Zhang Tianshi's Subduing Demons" that places such as temples, Taoist temples, and land and city gods, if the incense is prosperous, will have the protection of gods, but if Once the incense fades and falls into ruins, it is more likely to attract sinister ghosts than ordinary places.
In addition, he encountered ghosts and monsters in his previous two dreams, so now he is a little hesitant to step into this temple.
