Chapter 248: All or Nothing
In just one month, with the help of the strong east wind of the soul hooking horse face, he completed six or seven tasks one after another, most of which were ghosts above the Bigu period, and the number was often more than one, because the more he went to the back, the relatively easy tasks had already been completed, and the rest were naturally some difficult bones.
Although the cooperation between him and the soul hook horse is relatively secretive, after a long time, some clues have naturally been discovered, and it began to be rumored that there is a master behind him to help, so he can complete the task so smoothly.
In fact, this point was understandable, with his cultivation in the middle stage of Qi refining, how could he really fight too many ghost things that far exceeded his own cultivation, so he didn't give any explanation for this.
Anyway, on the surface, he was completing the task, and with such a high completion rate, Shen Luo's reputation not only spread throughout the Bai family, but even among the Lin and Du families, he gradually became famous.
......
In a study room in the inner courtyard of the Bai Mansion, Bai Hecheng, dressed in a navy blue robe, sat behind his desk, listening to Bai Jiangfeng's report with a solemn face, his brows frowning deeper and deeper.
"Family Master, the number of tasks completed by our Bai family has steadily surpassed that of the Lin family and the Du family, and no one can match us. It's just that the Lin family seems to have started to spend money recently, and out of nowhere, they borrowed a few casual cultivators at a high price to help them complete a few tasks, which has greatly narrowed the gap between us. Bai Jiangfeng said while standing across the desk.
"When looking at the Lin family, you can't just look at it alone, the Du family has already secretly communicated with the Lin family over the years, but I'm afraid that this time I will also wear a pair of pants. We must guard against a complete alliance between the Du family and the Lin family, and transfer some merit points to the Lin family, otherwise we will probably be caught off guard at that time. White Crane City said after a moment of silence.
"What the head of the family said is very true, and I am also worried about it. When the time comes, those guests of the Du family only need to declare that they are doing things for the Lin family, then all the merit points will fall into the Lin family's pocket, and it is not impossible to surpass our Bai family. Bai Jiangfeng said thoughtfully.
"Third uncle, if you order to go down, we will also increase the remuneration and encourage the guests in the family to do as much as possible and take on more tasks. In addition, I will also send a letter to Daoist Jiang of the Atomization Gate to see if I can ask the elders in his sect to come over and help. Bai Hecheng said after thinking for a moment.
"There are fewer and fewer tasks on the list, and there is not much time left for us, but I am afraid that far water will not quench our thirst. Bai Jiangfeng answered, turned around and wanted to leave.
"The task of the Tibetan Wind Valley on the outskirts of the southern part of the city, can someone from the Lin Du family do it?" Bai Hecheng called Bai Jiangfeng and suddenly asked.
"This task is too dangerous, the difficulty ranks first among all tasks, and the merit points given by the government are also the highest, almost equal to the sum of the rewards of the following major tasks. Although the Lin Du family had intentions, they did not dare to take this risk. Bai Jiangfeng replied.
"As long as we can complete this task, even if the Lin Du family unites together, it will be impossible for them to surpass us in the merit points they have obtained, right?" Bai Hecheng raised his eyebrows and asked.
"With what we've done, there's no chance they're going to win...... Family Master, are you planning to take over the task of Hidden Wind Valley?" Bai Jiangfeng said hesitantly.
"No matter what, our Bai family can't lose to the Lin family. White Crane City said word by word.
"Family Master, the situation in the Tibetan Wind Valley is complicated, I'm afraid this task is not so easy to complete, I'm afraid there will be a lot of losses when the time comes. Bai Jiangfeng hesitated.
"The government came up with this ghost eradication task list this time, firstly, to stabilize the increasingly unstable situation recently, and secondly, to see the background of the various families in the city, the benefits of the winner are definitely not just the things on the surface. So don't be afraid of losses, as long as you win, you will make up for it. White Crane City said.
"It's still the head of the family who thinks it through. Bai Jiangfeng nodded and said.
"The third uncle's concerns are not unreasonable, we must plan well and minimize the loss, so that we can make a big deal with the small. What do you think about the candidates to participate in this mission?" asked Bai Hecheng again.
Bai Jiangfeng thought for a moment and reported the names of several people, Bai Hecheng heard it, and nodded and agreed.
"For this mission, it's best to bring Shen Luo. At the end, Bai Jiangfeng said again.
Shen Luo...... I've also heard that he's been doing very well lately, so there must be someone behind him who is helping him. After all, his own cultivation is still a little low, and if he enters the Tibetan Wind Valley, the risk of falling is not small. White Crane City hesitated.
"The cultivation of this person behind him is definitely not low, if he can help the trip to the Tibetan Wind Valley, it will be a big help. As for safety, as long as he doesn't rush to the front and face the ghosts, with his talent in the talisman and his strange body method, he should be safe for himself. Bai Jiangfeng said.
"If that's the case, he'll have to take a risk. Regarding this mission, before actually putting it into practice, try to keep a low profile as much as possible, just in case. White Crane City groaned.
While the two were talking, there was a sudden "boom" sound outside the house, and a thunderstorm that had been crushing the city for half a day finally tore open a hole and poured down.
In the small courtyard, Shen Luo looked at the white light that flickered from time to time among the clouds in the sky, as if he was a hard-working old farmer, staring at a golden field, his eyes were full of joy.
The task completed some time ago made him earn a lot of immortal jade, and he bought a lot of talismans and spiritual materials in the Record Treasure Hall.
In the end, it took more than twenty pieces of purple cloud rune paper to draw a flying rune, which made his flesh ache for several days.
Today, he finally caught up with a thunderstorm, and he immediately took out the green frost paper and brush rune ink, and began to draw the ups and downs of the thunder runes.
I was busy until the evening, when the sky was about to dark, the thunderstorm stopped, and the work of drawing talismans stopped.
Of the seventy-two pieces of Blue Frost Rune Paper, nearly sixty pieces were used, and only two Thunder Talismans were successfully drawn, which was a lot higher than before in terms of success rate.
Although Shen Luo was almost paralyzed, he was also quite relieved in his heart.
Two days later, early in the morning, Shen Luo was meditating and pranayama, when he suddenly received a summons from Ma Mian, asking him to go to the south gate of the city to meet quickly, without mentioning the location of the mission or the content of the mission.
Although Shen Luo was full of suspicions, he had no choice but to stop practicing, left Baifu, and hurried to the south of the city.
As a result, as soon as he left with his front foot, Bai Jiangfeng arrived at his small courtyard with his back foot, and no one answered his shouting, and then asked the guards in the house to know that Shen Luo had gone out.
Bai Jiangfeng originally came to inform him that he would set off with the team at noon tomorrow and go to the Tibetan Wind Valley to carry out the mission, but he didn't expect Shen Luo to leave just now, so he pounced.
