"Your Excellency, you are joking. It is all because of ghosts that slow the delivery of supplies. How can I not understand." Shen Luo put away the jade bottle and cupped his hands.
"My lord and Yuan Guoshi seem to have something to discuss. If there is no other order, I will leave now." He glanced at the two of them and said quickly.
Although Shen Luo wanted to ask Cheng Yaojin to help investigate the Chang'an demon soul, but Yuan Tiangang was standing here probably because of his high level of cultivation, or because of what Ma Xiuxiu said on the banks of the Styx River, He couldn't trust this person, and planned to mention this matter to Cheng Yaojin another day.
"Little friend Shen, don't rush to leave. Yuan Mou came to visit the Duke's mansion today. One reason is to discuss something with the Duke, and the other reason is to meet the little friend." Yuan Tiangang suddenly asked to stay.
"I don't know why the master of the country is looking for me?" Shen Luo was startled, looking at Yuan Tiangang.
"On the bank of the Styx River in the underworld that day, after Pindao rescued His Majesty, he took His Majesty's soul back first because of the time limit for the secret art of possessing the soul. According to Lu Huaming, an apprentice of Cheng Guogong, it was the one who fought the Dragon King of Jinghe to the end. It's my little friend, this evil dragon and my Tang court are deeply entangled in grievances, I'm here to ask you to recount the details of your final battle." Yuan Tiangang said with a smile while staring into his sinking eyes.
Shen Luo's heart skipped a beat. Although he tried his best to remain calm, the slight fluctuation in his eyes still fell into Yuan Tiangang's eyes.
"Why, is there any inconvenience for little friend Shen?" Yuan Tiangang asked.
Shen Luo frowned slightly, but soon he was relieved.
Although he and Ma Xiuxiu had some friendship, they were not life-and-death friends. Earlier, because of the Millennium Spiritual Milk, they had even worsened, so there was no need to cover it up.
Moreover, Ma Xiuxiu once said that Yuan Tiangang incarnated Yuan Shoucheng and designed to frame Jinghe Dragon King. This has always been a lump in his heart. Now Cheng Yaojin is also present, just to see what Yuan Tiangang has to say.
"Of course there is no inconvenience. I chased and killed the Jinghe Dragon Queen with my sword that day..." Shen Luo described in detail what happened that day when he chased and killed the Jinghe Dragon King.
When Cheng Yaojin heard this for the first time, his expression changed again and again.
But Yuan Tiangang was not surprised, but frowned, as if he had encountered something that made him very confused.
"...In the end, Ma Xiuxiu turned into a dragon and left, and I also fell into a coma. After waking up, I appeared in the Cheng Mansion. This is the cause and effect of the matter, and I did not hide anything. If you don't believe me, you can also ask the underworld for verification. "Shen Luo cupped his hands.
Cheng Yaojin and Yuan Tiangang were speechless for a moment, they both stood there silently.
"Thank you, little friend Shen, for explaining this matter in detail." Yuan Tiangang recovered his senses first, and nodded his thanks to Shen Luo.
"Yuan Guoshi is polite, but I have heard Cheng Guogong talk about the Jinghe Dragon King before, and I heard what Ma Xiuxiu said in the underworld that day. There seems to be some discrepancies between the two, especially the statement about Yuan Shoucheng's identity. I don't know how?" Shen Luo didn't bother to go around, and asked Yuan Tiangang directly.
Chapter 0617
"That's right, the matter of Yuan Shoucheng back then is also a mystery in my heart. What's going on? Could it be that you were the master of the country?" Cheng Yaojin also turned his head and asked Yuan Tiangang.
"No, although Yuan and the Jinghe Dragon King had some enmity, they had moved a little bit to get revenge, but after being enlightened by the master, they had forgotten all about that enmity. A sincere gentleman, if you ask yourself, you dare to do something, if it was really me who designed the Jinghe Dragon King, you will not deny it." Yuan Tiangang shook his head and said.
"Then what's going on?" Cheng Yaojin frowned.
Shen Luo saw that Yuan Tiangang's expression was frank, and it didn't look like a fake. Maybe this matter really had nothing to do with him. Then who was Yuan Shoucheng back then?Judging from his method of action, it seems that he intends to provoke the Dragon King of Jinghe and the Tang government.
"Could it be that demon soul!" A thought suddenly popped up in his mind.
"No matter who that Yuan Shoucheng is, he plotted against the Dragon King of Jinghe and tried to blame the national teacher. It seems that he is not a good person. But the Dragon King of Jinghe is dead, so there is no need to worry." Cheng Yaojin said in a deep voice.
"Although the Jinghe Dragon King is dead, that Ma Xiuxiu is still alive. She has obtained the Dragon King's Dragon Yuan and has transformed into a dragon body. There is also the body training altar. This battle did not hurt any muscles and bones. I am afraid that the matter is not over yet." Yuan Tiangang shook his head and said.
"Indeed." Cheng Yaojin's complexion darkened, and he nodded.
"It's not just Ma Xiuxiu and the body training altar. We saw a gray figure on the bank of the Styx River that day. That person can use the power of the six realms of reincarnation in the underworld to help the Dragon King of Jinghe. I'm afraid he is from the underworld. Please invite the two of you Seniors contact the underworld to investigate this person's background carefully, maybe we can find something from it." Shen Luo said.
"That's right, boy Shen is right!" Cheng Yaojin's eyes lit up, and he said immediately.
Yuan Tiangang also nodded slowly.
Shen Luo was not proud that his suggestion was adopted by the two, and his expression was still very solemn.
Although the ghost trouble in Chang'an has been eliminated, there seems to be a more secret undercurrent hidden behind it. In addition to the demon soul lurking in Chang'an, it may set off a huge wave again at any time.
"If the two seniors have nothing else to do, I will take my leave now." Seeing that Cheng Yaojin and Yuan Tiangang were silent, Shen Luo cupped his hands at them.
He wants to go back and improve his strength as soon as possible to deal with the drastic changes that may occur at any time.
"You go, now the city is full of waste, it's not quiet, it's not good for cultivation, Shen Xiaoyou, you can live in my house with peace of mind, don't rush to leave." Cheng Yaojin nodded and said.
"Thank you, my lord, for your kindness. Since you are such a junior, you will not be polite." After a little hesitation, Shen Luo nodded.
He then bowed to the two of them again and withdrew.
"What do you think of this son?" Cheng Yaojin asked Yuan Tiangang after Shen Luo left.
"Brilliant, well-behaved, he is indeed a very good young man." Yuan Tiangang nodded and smiled.
"Who asked you this, it's not about choosing a son-in-law, I'm asking you about that." Cheng Yaojin said angrily.
"Are you talking about the Man of Destiny? There are indeed some similarities, but there are differences between him and nephew Lu Xian, we need to look more." Yuan Tiangang put away the joke and said seriously.
"Alright." Cheng Yaojin nodded.
……
Shen Luo left the main hall, did not return to his residence, but left the Cheng Mansion and came to the city.
The streets in Chang'an City are no longer the bustling scene of the past, the flow of people is not as good as before, and because of the previous war, all parts of the city are scarred.
Fortunately, the north of the city was not directly affected by the war, while the south of the city was in the middle of the battlefield, and there were ruins everywhere, a mess.
Although the imperial court sent troops to help with repairs, and the people returned home one after another, the situation was still miserable. Almost every household was holding a funeral, and there were gloomy clouds and mourning everywhere.
Seeing the tragic situation in front of him, Shen Luo felt sad, and secretly vowed to stop the evil catastrophe from coming and endanger the entire human world.
He immediately packed up his mood and came to the gathering place of temporary shops in the city that he had been to before. After wandering around in it, he came out after a long time, with a look of pain on his face.
The celestial jade he accumulated in the previous battles has decreased by [-]%, and it has become a large amount of materials, all of which are used for formation.
Shen Luo bought these materials to prepare for breaking through the out-of-body period, to be precise, to prepare for the secret art of Sanyuan Kaitai.
Sanyuan Kaitai is a very special auxiliary advanced secret method, which is different from the many breakthrough auxiliary secret methods he has seen before.
The core of this secret technique is to arrange a three-element array. The three-element array is neither a defensive array nor an attack array, but a spirit-yun array. The three-element array is closely related to the people who set up the array. It is connected with many meridians of the human body, and it can even be said that the magic circle simulates a dantian outside.
When the person who set up the formation is practicing in the formation, the mana in the body will be transferred to the Sanyuan Great Formation for storage, and when the time is right, the mana will be collected and returned to the body, and together with the mana in the body, it will hit the bottleneck of cultivation.
This Three-Yuan Kaitai secret technique has a different approach and is quite subtle. Shen Luo can be considered a well-informed person, but when he first saw this Three-Yuan Kaitai secret technique, he still felt his eyes brighten.
It's a pity that the mana that this ternary formation can store has its limit, and it can only be used when assisting in breaking through the out-of-body period.
After buying the materials, Shen Luo quickly rushed back to the Cheng Mansion and returned to his residence.
He first took out a set of khaki-colored array flags and arranged them around the room.
This set of arrays is called Thousand Li Yellow Sand Array, which he obtained from the magic weapon stored by the black-robed cultivator on the altar of cultivation by the Styx River. It is a very clever defensive array, which can be connected with the power of the earth , extremely stable, even if a monk in the out-of-body period attacks, it can be protected from danger, and it can also shield the spiritual consciousness. It is generally used to protect the cave.
However, this formation method also has a big disadvantage, that is, it is not secret enough. Once it is in operation, it will set off waves of yellow sand, and it is difficult not to attract attention.
Shen Luo is going to close the death test next time, the matter is very important, although this formation is eye-catching, he doesn't care about it.
He quickly arranged the thousands of miles of yellow sand formation, and then took out the materials for the three-element formation, and arranged it in the center of the room.
The Sanyuan formation is very complicated, and there are no ready-made formation equipment. Although Shen Luo has experience in arranging the formation several times, it took a full day and night to complete the formation.
After doing this, Shen fell into a silver ring in the center of the magic circle and sat down cross-legged, took out a formation flag and pointed it at the outermost thousand-mile yellow sand formation.
The thousand-mile yellow sand formation immediately began to operate, and countless yellow sand-like rays of light emerged in the room, rolling like a sandstorm.
This room couldn't hide the yellow glow of the magic circle at all, and it was quickly transmitted to the outside. After a few breaths, the whole house was covered by billowing yellow sand, which could be seen from a long distance.
Chapter 0618 Retreat Breakthrough
"What happened? What is that!" The servants in Cheng's mansion were shocked when they saw the situation there, and immediately ran to the main hall to report to Cheng Yaojin.
Seeing this situation, several guards with cultivation bases in Cheng's mansion wanted to go over to check, but the entire sunken courtyard was shrouded in a storm-like force, and they couldn't get close at all.
A middle-aged burly man with the highest cultivation level among the guards let out an angry roar, flipped his hand and sacrificed a fiery red saber magic weapon, and slashed forward.
This person's cultivation has reached the late stage of bigu, and a flame as high as ten feet rose from the sword, cutting towards the yellow sand mask like cutting a mountain and rock.
With a loud sound of "铛", the yellow sand mask fluctuated slightly and then returned to normal, but the flames on the fiery red sword were all scattered, and bounced back several times faster than before.
The middle-aged man didn't expect this situation, he wanted to dodge but it was too late, and he was about to be hit by his magic weapon.
A figure appeared out of nowhere, and two fingers stretched out, pinching the fiery red sword.
The big knife stopped immediately, as if it had been cut into a stone.
"My lord!" Several guards hurriedly saluted the person who appeared suddenly, and it was Cheng Yaojin who came.
Cheng Yaojin returned the big knife to the big man, and looked towards the front of the yellow sand light curtain, with a look of surprise on his face.
"My lord, here..." The middle-aged man looked a little ugly, and he clenched his fists and said.
"This is the magic circle arranged by Shen Xiaoyou, so don't make a fuss." Cheng Yaojin said lightly.
Everyone knew that there was a monk surnamed Shen living in Cheng's mansion, who seemed to be recuperating here, and they never thought that the other party's cultivation base was so advanced.
Cheng Yaojin looked carefully at the magic circle in the distance, and his spiritual consciousness spread over, but when he touched the yellow sand formation thousands of miles away, the yellow glow immediately seemed to be stagnant, unable to probe into it.
He was even more surprised on his face, but he quickly regained his composure.
"Pass down the order, Xiaoyou Shen lives in the small courtyard, and no one is allowed to approach without my permission in the future, and you don't come to bother me." Cheng Yaojin ordered several guards.
"Yes!" Several people hurriedly agreed and retreated.
Cheng Yaojin looked at Shen Luo again, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and turned to leave.
……
The formation of thousands of miles of yellow sand can isolate the spiritual consciousness, and Shen Luo can't sense the situation outside. The three-element formation around him is urged to move, and the formation patterns in the formation immediately light up with silver lights, like silver snakes Move around in the array.
The sharp whistling sound of "嗤", "嗤", "嗤" sounded, and more than a dozen silver lights shot out from the formation, pouring into the meridians of Shen Luo's body, and lines composed of runes appeared in the silver light.
The mana in Shen Luo's body seemed to have opened a hole, and slowly leaked out into the three-element array along the silver light.
Seeing this, he was relieved, knowing that there was nothing wrong with the arrangement of the magic circle.
The three-element Kaitai secret technique needs to be accumulated for a long time to be effective. The longer the time, the thicker the mana accumulated in the magic circle, and the greater the effect when it hits the bottleneck. Set up the formation at this moment, while cultivating, while accumulating mana.
Although the three-element array can absorb mana, it doesn't have a lot of mana, and there is a lot of dual-element true water to help when it sinks, so it doesn't care about such a little mana.
He took out the silver jade bottle, took out two drops of binary true water, smeared it on his body, and absorbed it with a nameless exercise.
A cloud of water mist emerged around him, covering his entire body, and the aura of heaven and earth in the void followed the water mist and gathered towards the sinking.
Time passed quickly, and half a year passed in a blink of an eye.
The mist that shrouded Shen Luo's body became thicker and larger, almost engulfing the entire room in it, like a sea like a tide.
At this moment, two blue lights suddenly flashed deep in the mist, extremely bright, like two blue lightning bolts.
Immediately, all the fog gathered towards the center like a long whale absorbing water, and disappeared completely in a few breaths, revealing a sinking figure.
I saw blue light flickering in his eyes, and his whole body was covered by a layer of blue light like water waves, and he looked like he had made great progress in cultivation.
"Finally cultivated the nameless exercise to the peak of soul condensing." Shen Luo murmured.
A piece of blue light and shadow flowed in the three-element array around him, as deep as the sea, emitting a powerful wave of mana, which was the mana that had been accumulated for half a year.
Shen Luo didn't get up, but quickly made a tactic with both hands, and began to attack the stage of exiting the body.
A large cloud of water mist swarmed out again, covering the entire room again, and the majestic mana in the Sanyuan formation also rumbled and converged towards the sinking.
Time continued to pass quietly, and soon another two months passed.
On this day, when several servants of the Cheng family passed by the small courtyard where Shen Luo lived, they suddenly heard a loud bang from the house shrouded in yellow sand, and then a blue beam of light burst out from the light of the yellow sand. Rush to the sky.
The blue beam of light quickly spread out, turning into countless blue waves, surging endlessly in mid-air, making loud crashing noises.
A huge force emanated from these blue waves, and there was a buzzing sound in the nearby void, as if it couldn't bear the huge force, and gusts of wind were set off, sweeping most of Cheng's mansion.
Those servants were blown by the strong wind and fell to the ground, but they didn't care about the pain on their bodies, they stared dumbfounded at the vision in mid-air, they were all dumbfounded there.
They are servants of Cheng Guogong, Cheng Yaojin is in charge of the government of the Tang Dynasty, and there are often immortal cultivators coming here, and they have all seen some methods of immortal cultivators, but they are completely incomparable with the scene before them.
The blue waves in mid-air became clearer and clearer, and the range expanded a lot, and the huge force emanating from them also increased.
The nearby buildings began to tremble, unable to withstand the pressure from the air, and the servants collapsed to the ground as if they were crushed by a huge boulder.
They wanted to run away, but they couldn't move a single finger, and they couldn't help but show despair on their faces.
At this moment, a figure appeared out of nowhere in midair, it was Cheng Yaojin.
"It's not bad to have broken through the out-of-body period so quickly." He waved his sleeve with a look of joy on his face.
A piece of golden light shot out, forming a huge and incomparably golden light curtain, covering the entire Cheng Mansion, like an upside-down golden umbrella, enveloping the blue waves in mid-air from below.
The huge force from the waves was resisted by the golden light curtain, and the swaying building below stabilized immediately, and the pressure on the servants disappeared out of thin air, and they hurriedly got up.
"Let's all go down." Cheng Yaojin said lightly.
Several people hastily agreed, saluted Cheng Yaojin, and left like flying.
