Chapter Seventy-Four: A Chance Encounter in the Back Mountain
"What are you doing?" a loud shout came from the mountain road above.
When Shen Luo heard this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and as soon as his hand was loosened, Ding Yuan stumbled as if he had been amnestied, and he was supported by others so that he did not sit down on the ground.
Immediately after, the white shadow on Shen Luo's side flashed, and a figure fell from the sky.
Shen Luo knew that the person who came was Bai Xiaotian, but after a glance, he found that this guy was not wearing the clothes in the view today, but changed into a snow-white robe, and he looked more and more chic and dignified.
"Original...... It's Senior Brother Bai, you guys are slow... Slow chat, we've taken a step beforehand. ”
Ding Yuan covered the little finger of his right hand, sweating profusely, but he didn't dare to say anything at all, hurriedly confessed, and left with a few people as if he were fleeing.
"Hmph, a bunch of dogs who bully the soft and are afraid of the hard. Bai Xiaotian looked at the backs of those people who left in a hurry and scolded angrily.
"Master Bai, why is the anger so strong today?" Shen Luo didn't care much and laughed.
"Are you back......" Bai Xiaotian turned his head and looked Shen Luo up and down, only then did a relieved smile appear on his face.
"Why, you originally thought I wouldn't be able to come back?" Shen Luo asked with a smile.
"You guy is really not interesting, you don't even tell me about such a big thing when you practice martial arts, and you don't take me as a senior brother in your eyes. Bai Xiaotian feigned anger.
"I was going to talk to you before I left, but I was in too much of a hurry to see you. Aren't I coming back now, I bought wine and roast goose, and I'll call Senior Brother Ueda in a while, and let's talk about it. Shen Luo said with a smile.
"Of course, it's good to have a drink, but unfortunately I have to go down the mountain soon. When Bai Xiaotian heard this, he showed a little embarrassment.
"Then we'll talk about it when you get back. Shen Luo said.
"Okay, then I'll go first. Bai Xiaotian nodded.
With that, he turned and ran towards the mountain gate.
Shen Luo suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly turned around and shouted, "Bai Xiaotian, when will you come back?"
"I'll go home, maybe I'll be back in half a month, keep the wine for me......" Bai Xiaotian's figure had disappeared on the winding mountain road, and only the voice came from afar.
Shen Luo watched Bai Xiaotian leave, turned around and continued to walk towards Qingshiping's residence.
When he returned to the residence on the far right of the first floor, after packing up and stopping, he still went to give Luo Shi a return as usual, but he didn't see anyone, but met Tian Tiesheng on the way back.
Tian Tiesheng was very happy to see Shen Luo come back, the two got together and ate a roast goose completely, but no one drank alcohol, and Bai Xiaotian was left.
Hearing him talk about it, Shen Luo knew that Luo Shi had been invited down the mountain again two days ago, and he hadn't come back yet.
During this period, Tian Tiesheng asked about Shen Luo's physical condition, and his words obviously revealed worry.
Shen Luo didn't think about how to tell him for a while, after all, if he told the truth, when he mentioned the Nameless Heavenly Book, it would inevitably involve the jade pillow and the strange dream, and he couldn't say it at all.
In the end, it can only be inferred that he has served the Baoyuan Dan given by the Guan Lord Fengyang Zhenren, and the situation has stabilized, so he doesn't have to worry.
When Tian Tiesheng heard Shen Luo say this, he seemed to really believe it.
Towards evening, Shen Luo returned to his residence.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, smelling the familiar smell of the room, and looking at the somewhat messy furnishings, he suddenly felt a little emotional.
Obviously, there was only seven or eight days between leaving the mountain and returning to the mountain, which made him feel like a world away.
What happened in these few days was even more tortuous and bizarre than the experience in his two dreams, not long ago he was a poor man with a short life, but now, he was already a cultivator of the Dharma nature.
After sitting quietly for a while, Shen Luo got up and took out the jade pillow hidden under the bed.
"Do you want to try again?"
He placed the jade pillow in front of him, and his palm gently stroked the pillow, feeling the cool touch of the jade, and a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes.
Now that he is naturally no longer as resistant to this jade pillow as he was at the beginning, he has even developed a lot of interest.
If it weren't for this thing, how could I have met Yu Yan in my dreams? Without an old story that Yu Yan unintentionally leaked out after drinking, how could I have found a nameless practice and thus cultivated the general Fa again?
Now that he is a cultivator with mana, if he tries to use his mana to urge this thing, will there be any unexpected gains?
Shen Luo thought so in his heart, just in case, he decided to draw a few talismans to defend himself first, and then experiment.
He came to the table, took out the yellow rune paper and cinnabar, and began to draw the talisman on the paper.
The first one was still his most proficient little thunder talisman, and after he drew two finished products intermittently, a small half of the thick yellow rune paper had already been used.
This is a lot higher than his previous success rate.
Shen Luo put these two small thunder talismans aside to dry, picked up the red pen again, and began to draw the same familiar exorcism talismans, and used up a small half of the rune paper to draw three pieces of divine qi that were quite complete.
After that, he put down his pen and did not continue drawing, but leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to recuperate.
Although his body was far from what it used to be, the idea of drawing talismans was still too draining.
After resting for half an hour, he felt that his spirit was full again, and he drew a few more other talismans, such as wishful charms and evil charms.
Because these talismans have never been tried, there is no successful experience to learn from, but they are drawn very quickly, and whether they succeed or fail can only be known after they have been tried.
Shen Luo originally wanted to copy the talisman attached to the talisman fork, but after taking it out and looking at it, he put it away again.
It wasn't because of anything else, but the talisman was rolled up on the fork handle, and he couldn't get a full picture, and he didn't dare to take it off rashly, for fear of destroying the talisman, so he had to give up.
Finally, he brought all the drawn talismans and placed them next to the jade pillow in case of emergency.
After doing all this, Shen Luo activated the nameless magic technique, mobilized the mana in his body to penetrate his right arm, and went towards the jade pillow.
When his fingertips touched the jade pillow, a trace of mana glowing blue immediately flowed out like a traction, flowing towards the pillow.
Shen Luo frowned slightly, carefully controlling the flow of mana, and paying close attention to the changes in the jade pillow.
After waiting for a while, his mana had been injected a lot, and there was still no movement on the jade pillow.
Shen Luo didn't stop immediately, but still had patience and continued to inject mana into it.
But until he himself felt that his mana was a little empty, the jade pillow had not changed in any way from beginning to end.
"Looks like I'm thinking too much, or rather, this little bit of mana isn't enough to make this thing react......"
Shen Luo smiled bitterly, and had to withdraw his palm, feeling a little lost in his heart.
He had been tired of traveling for several days, and he had consumed a lot of mana at this time, so he simply packed up the jade pillow and talisman and went to bed early.
......
The next day, early in the morning.
After Shen Luo got up and washed up, he took the talisman fork and the drawn talisman and went to the direction of the back mountain.
Now, he has begun to practice the exercises of the Nameless Heavenly Book, so naturally he no longer needs to do morning classes to practice the Xiaohua Yang Gong, but because of the particularity of the Heavenly Book Exercises, he must find a waterhole or stream in order to continue his cultivation.
Although he had not run to the back mountains in the past, and he also knew the location of one or two mountain streams and deep pools, it was a pity that those places were too conspicuous, and once a Guanzhong disciple passed by, he would inevitably be discovered.
Shen Luo didn't want everyone to know about his acquisition of the Nameless Heavenly Book, so he thought about finding a more secret and quiet place to cultivate, and at the same time, he also had the intention of trying to control the talisman again.
Midsummer has passed, and as autumn approaches, the morning breeze on the mountains has noticeably cooler.
Shen Luo walked on the mountain road, looked at the faint morning light on the top of the mountain, rubbed his palms, and his eyes were full of eagerness.
The topography of the mountain after the spring and autumn view is quite complex, in addition to the large area of deep mountain old forest, there are also steep mountain cliffs that protrude outside, and some deep pools formed by mountain rainwater are distributed under these mountain cliffs.
Shen Luo avoided his usual route, passed through a dense shrub forest, and made a path among the thorns and weeds to a prominent mountain cliff.
This cliff is mostly rugged and strange, which looks bare, but the view is very open.
He planned to rely on the high and low from here to find a suitable and hidden place to cultivate.
At the very front of the cliff is a huge rock protruding from the mountain wall, which has been beaten by wind and rain for a long time, and there is a layer of slippery thick moss on it, and it is not easy to climb up.
He cautiously came to the front of the rock, and was about to look down when he suddenly heard a faint verbal argument from below, as if two people were talking.
When he leaned out and looked down, he saw that under the cliff dozens of zhang high, there were two figures, an old man and a young man, standing opposite each other.
At the same time that Shen Luo saw the two of them, the two of them also discovered him, immediately stopped talking, and looked at him.
