Chapter 3: make things difficult

"No, I want to try it myself." Shen Luo smiled and said.

He still remembers that more than a year ago, he went to Taoist Luo to teach him the technique of talisman. Master Luo, who was gentle to him on weekdays, refused directly. Even if he offered the sky-high price of two hundred gold, the other party still didnt do anything. Moved.

Luo Shiyanming, the Talisman technique taught in Guanli is not a trick used by swindlers to deceive others, but a true secret technique that only inner disciples with mana can practice. Not to mention that he is a named disciple, it is an official outsider. The disciple did not even think about it.

"Sure, I'll take it for you." Bai Xiaotian nodded after listening.

"If you can, see if you can get some rooster blood and black dog blood in the restaurant." Shen Luo added when he saw that he was leaving.

"I know you often read some miscellaneous books, just those written by literati, don't take it too seriously..." Bai Xiaotian frowned and said.

He is one of the only three Inner Sect disciples in the door, and he is naturally able to access the real talisman art, but the rules are strict, and no matter how good the relationship with Shen Luo is, he will not reveal anything.

"Don't worry, I have my own measures and won't mess around." Shen Luo yawned and responded vaguely.

Bai Xiaotian knew that persuasion was useless, so he raised his hand, turned and left.

Shen Luo watched his figure disappear into the forest, the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

He knows that the other party is worried that he will go astray and kindly persuade him, but only he knows his situation.

It's not that he wants to engage in these side ways, but his life is limited, forcing him to find another way out.

The Yin Qi invasion more than two years ago has already ruined his vitality. In the past two years, he has been living on the mountain with a pair of "Red Snow Powder" every three months to maintain his vitality.

Even so, he still feels that his body is deteriorating, and he walks a little more on weekdays, and he will feel a little panting, especially last winter, wearing a fur coat, still feels cold inside his body and cold limbs.

And the reason why he only took a pair of medicine in March is not because he cant take out the hundred taels of silver, but that he can maximize the effect of this medicine. More frequent drinking will not only waste, but may also be inadequate. Master Luo Nor is it allowed.

As for the cultivation of Xiaohua Yang Gong, he was too slow to enter the realm. He has only just started to learn today, but the speed of his practice is not even comparable to that of the outer disciples with the worst knowledge of inner inner circle. Moreover, according to Master Luo, even if this method is a great achievement, it can only increase the lifespan of ten or twenty years at most.

But at my own speed of cultivation, I am afraid that there is no chance of success at all, so I might drive the crane to the west first.

He paid such a high price to come to this Taoist temple on the mountain, but he didn't just want to live for a few more years.

Shen Luo thought to himself, and walked slowly down the mountain.

The Spring and Autumn View is backed by Qinghua Mountain, and the whole is built on the mountain. Except for the gate is close to the mountainside, the other buildings such as the Lingguan Hall and the Jade Emperor Hall are distributed on the mountain, and the most important Sanqing Hall is located on the top of the mountain. on.

Apart from the inner door disciples, the quiet rooms where the rest of the disciples stay are concentrated on the three mountainside cliffs on both sides of the mountain road from the mountain gate to the Lingguan Temple. Since the terrain is still open, basically everyone can use it alone. one.

There is not much control over the practice of the disciples in , except for the specific teaching day, where all disciples are required to go to the Sanqing Hall together to listen to Master Luo and other elders explaining the Taoist classics, the rest of the time does not need to do morning classes together.

Anyway, the Xiaohua Yang Gong in the view has been distributed to every disciple, and everyone can practice on their own according to their aptitude.

The place where he fell and practiced was not far from the Jade Emperor Hall. At this moment, he had returned to the square in front of the palace.

approaching the gate of the hall, he didn't enter the hall, he just made a shot outside the hall, and after resting his feet, he turned around and wanted to leave along the stone steps down the mountain.

"Isn't this Junior Brother Shen, how about returning from practice? Have you gotten started with Xiaohua Yang Gong?" At this time, a familiar voice came from the hall.

Shen Luo sighed in his heart and turned around.

As he expected, it was the brother Ding who was not very good at dealing with him on weekdays. Before he crossed the threshold, a shy pregnant belly had already come out of the hall.

Behind him, he followed two young men in green robes, one with a broom in his hand and the other with a bucket in his hand. It seemed that he had just finished his homework on duty.

"I have seen a few seniors." Shen Luo had a warm smile on his face, and bowed his hand to a few people.

"Junior Brother Shen, its not that I said you, Xiaohua Yanggong practice, dont rush for quick success and instant benefits. Even though Junior Brother has not been able to get started for two years, dont be too anxious. ..." Senior Brother Ding saw that he was well-mannered, so he couldn't say anything. He first gave a false relief, and then started preaching like a senior.

"Thank you, brother, for thinking about it. Today, I was lucky enough to get started.

Brother Bai also confirmed it for me." Shen Luo blinked and replied seemingly casual.

"Wh...what, are you already getting started? Bai Xiaotian also knows?" Senior Brother Ding was taken aback, his face suddenly a little ugly.

The other two young people also looked at Shen Shen with surprise, their eyes full of surprise.

After all, they know the situation of the sinking, otherwise it wont make any progress after two years of hard work. UU reading

According to their private guess, to sink this body, another three to five years may not be able to enter the door.

Shen Luo had expected the reaction of a few people, but stopped talking, just smiled and nodded.

Brother Ding flashed a touch of depression in his eyes. If Bai Xiaotian didn't know, he could still hide the matter first, and then try to cancel the bet, but the other party already knew, and the previous bet was really lost.

"If there is nothing wrong, Junior Brother will not disturb the other seniors on duty." Shen Luo smiled, and arched his hands at the three of them.

Wait, Junior Brother Shen, don't go in a hurry. Although Bai Xiaotian has already confirmed it, after all, he hasn't taken a long time to get started, so it's hard to guarantee that he won't miss it. Why don't you let Senior Brother confirm it for you?" Senior Brother Ding squinted. Skin Xiaorou said without a smile.

Shen Luo heard the words, and suddenly felt a little unhappy.

This Senior Brother Ding had nothing to do with him, but he had a deep contradiction with Bai Xiaotian.

There is no other reason. The brother Ding Hua of Senior Brother Ding Yuan is also a disciple of Chunqiu Guan, and like Bai Xiaotian, is the only three core disciples in Guanzhong.

Among them, Ding Hua studied from Guanzhu, Bai Xiaotian from Luo Taoist, and one from Wang Shibo. The three of them are the highest aptitudes in Guanzhong, and they naturally compete with each other in secret.

"I don't think it is necessary. Brother is busy with his homework, so I don't have to worry about me." The smile on Shen Luo's face narrowed.

Although he is polite to others on weekdays, he is not a soft persimmon that anyone can handle.

He knew in his heart when to be tougher and when to give in.

"Shen, how do you talk to Senior Brother Ding? Senior Brother is also kind." A person behind Ding Yuan heard the words and said with a straightened face.

Shen Luo coldly looked at the speaker, but didn't say anything anymore.

The qualifications of the three of them are not much better than that of Shen Luo. Usually they are only relying on their relationship with Ding Hua. Other talents are so polite to them. At this moment, seeing Shen Luo's look, but also feels very troublesome, I don't know. How to be better.

"What are you guys gathering here for?" At this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded from the side.

Shen Luo turned his head to follow the prestige, and saw a young man wearing a cyan robe, a thin body and a scorched face, with one hand behind him, walking slowly toward this side with a cold expression.

"Brother Ding..."

When everyone saw this, their expressions were slightly solemn, and they all bowed to them, even Ding Yuan was no exception. It turned out that this person is not someone else, but Ding Hua.

Although Qi and Ding Yuan are brothers, they are very different in appearance, and their qualifications are also very different. If someone who doesn't know meets, he will never connect them together.

Seeing his inquiries, Shen Luo roughly told what happened, and there was no dissatisfaction in the words.

"Bet..." Ding Hua's tail dragged extremely long and frowned slightly.

Ding Yuan suddenly dripped cold sweat on his cheeks, with a nervous look on his face, for fear of being blamed.

Although he is the elder brother, in front of his own brother, let alone put on the air of a elder brother, he would not dare to call himself a "brother". He really couldn't afford it since he was a child.

"Bai Xiaotian is also boring, bet on this with you." Ding Hua finally snorted and said coldly.

Shen Luo's eyes flickered slightly.

This Senior Brother Ding, who is personally passed on by the master, doesn't care about the dispute between him and Ding Yuan at all, and the only thing he cares about is Bai Xiaotian, who is also an inner disciple.

As for them, including Ding Yuan, they couldn't get into his eyes at all.

Shen Luo thought of this, and after saying goodbye, he turned and left.

He hasn't gone far yet, and he vaguely heard Ding Hua's cold voice: "Competing with a waste, you are so ambitious, my face has been lost by you..."

The word "waste" entered his ears, Shen Luo's eyes became colder, but his footsteps did not stop.

The fact that a named disciple of him can also practice Xiaohua Yang Gong is quite unwelcome.

In addition, he is also a "rich man" among his disciples, and the only "big sheep" who relies on yellow and white things to enter the door, so it is understandable that he was slandered behind his back.

But how do they know that what they spend is money, but what they cultivate is not gong, but life.

When it comes to money, he has a very open mind. On weekdays, he will always let these seniors take advantage of him from time to time, so on the whole, his relationship with almost all his disciples is not bad.

However, besides Bai Xiaotian, the only friends who are really counted as friends are Tian Tiesheng, who is also under the Master Luo.

When I thought that I might not be able to live long, my feelings became very bad, and my heart felt a little cold, and I couldn't help but move three minutes faster.

From the Jade Emperor Hall all the way down, I met a lot of seniors along the way. When Shen Luo met, they all greeted them one by one, and occasionally made fun of them with people they knew.

About a quarter of an hour, he arrived at Qingshiping near the Lingguan Palace, where he lived in the quiet room.

However, Shen Luo didn't immediately return to the quiet room, raised his sleeves and wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned out of Qingshiping, and walked towards the other side of the horizontal mountain road.

The road to this side is narrower than the other places on the mountain. On weekdays, there are not many people walking, so there are few people cleaning. There are a lot of dead leaves on the road. Some of them are rotten and soft. You can see some single-room houses on both sides, either made of stone or wood, and most of them are very dilapidated.

Shen Luo seemed to be quite familiar with this place. After walking for a long time, he finally saw an old house surrounded by half-person tall weeds sitting on the side of the road.

This old house has obviously been abandoned for a long time. It has not been repaired for many years. The red paint on the wall has dried up so badly that it has peeled off a lot and looks a little mottled. The white paper on the doors and windows has also been mostly damaged, even on the edge of the window. There are traces of insects.

Shen Luo took a few glances at the room, and after nodding, he separated the weeds, walked to the porch, and opened the leaking wooden door. Accompanied by a squeaking sound, a damp and moldy smell came on his face.

He turned sideways, covered his nose with one hand, and swept the air with the other.

After getting used to it, he rolled his eyes and scanned the room.

The area of the room was small, and it was filled with all kinds of broken tables and chairs, as well as some worn out brooms and buckets, all piled messily around the corner.

"At this moldy energy, I'm afraid there is... I can't even watch it." Shen Luo muttered softly.

Although there is disgust in his words, he does not hesitate to move his hands.

I saw Shen Luo stepping forward, taking down the dilapidated chairs and stools piled on the table one by one, and piled them on the other side of the house after a little tidying.

It took about a quarter of an hour to finally clear out most of the discarded tables and chairs to the other side.

At this time, the sinking chest was a little ups and downs, and he let out a long sigh as he watched all the tables that had been pressed down appear again.

After Xiaohua Yanggong started, he could feel that his physique was much stronger than it was at the beginning, but after just such a toss, still sweated a lot on his back.

Shen Luo rested for a while, then walked forward, opened the drawers of those desks, and searched them one by one.

"No..." The first drawer was empty.

"No..." The second one was just as empty.

"No"

After looking through the seven or eight tables, Shen Luo was a little depressed, thinking that he was going to be busy for nothing, and finally found out.

"Yes!"

The ninth table with only two legs left was broken. When the drawer was opened, a shabby book with a cyan cover was finally revealed.

He worked so hard to clean up these dilapidated tables and chairs, naturally not just to clean the house, but to search for the books left by the former owner.

Except for the basic Taoist classics such as the Tao Te Ching, the Chunqiu Guan has not many books, and most of them are the private collections of teachers and elders, and it is very difficult to borrow.

Since he was a child, Shen Luo has liked to read all kinds of miscellaneous books and strangers. Later, in order to find a way to save himself, he read a lot of miscellaneous books. The pharmacy at home has a few wonderful medicines. After reading the books, he summarized the advantages and disadvantages of each family. Deployed.

In those few years, he developed the habit of turning books at night. The Spring and Autumn Views had been closed for a long time, so he couldn't let his family send books over, so he had to find some books everywhere in the view.

Because I had found some books such as magazine travel notes accidentally from a few places in the deserted house before, which was quite useful to him, this time I came to try his luck again, but I didnt expect to find another one for him. .

"The Chronicle of Zhang Tianshi's Demon Falling..." Shen Luo held up the somewhat trendy ancient book, carefully examined a few vertical characters on the cover, and read it smoothly.
