Big dreamer

"They are all just hearsay. Miss Green Sleeves, there is no need to scare yourself. Besides, you are in the Bai family, which is a famous exorcist family. Where can any evil spirit dare to attack without fear of death?" Shen Luo comforted.

"That's true, haha... Anyway, as long as they are not monsters, ordinary monsters and ghosts, the head of the house and the elders can easily destroy them if they go out alone." The little girl heard this and said with a smile to herself.

When Shen Luo heard this, he frowned slightly and asked tentatively: "Miss Green Sleeves, do you know about the exorcism of the Bai family back then?"

"That was all a hundred years ago. Apart from the elders in the mansion, only the elderly people know some of the inside story. Naturally, I don't know anything about it. However, I have heard some rumors recently. I don’t know how true or false the rumors of exorcism are,” Lu Xiu frowned and thought for a while before changing the subject.

"It's okay, why don't you tell me?" Shen Luo said curiously.

"Okay, then let me tell you. Outside Jianye City, near Ziyun Mountain, there is a place called Taoyuan Village..." Luxiu seemed to be opened up and began to narrate.

It turns out that in this place called Taoyuan Village, there has been a huge flat peach tree since ancient times. People in the village have reproduced it from generation to generation, but they don’t know when this ancient tree originated. They only know that it is no less than a thousand years old.

Legend has it that this ancient flat peach tree blooms every year but never bears fruit for hundreds of years. Although the villagers are puzzled, they regard this ancient tree as auspicious and wish to take good care of it.

But one year later, when the peach blossoms were in full bloom, a demonic wind suddenly fell from the sky and surrounded the peach trees with thick black smoke, making it impossible for the villagers to get close. The branches and leaves on the peach trees also declined rapidly and fell one after another. down.

At that time, a man named Qin Shouan was in the village. In order to protect the peach trees, he held a torch and a hatchet, trying to drive away the evil wind. Not only did he fail, but he also got himself caught in it.

After that, the demon wind became even more rampant, not only controlling Qin Shou'an, but also many lynx and wild boars, causing them to attack the villagers.

The villagers were miserable, so they pooled their money to hire outside immortals to slay the demons. As a result, they went to three or four in a row, all of whom were beaten by meat buns and dogs, and they never came back.

Finally, in order to save her father, the village chief's daughter went through hardships and wanted to come to Jianye City for help. Finally, she happened to meet a hero in the Bigu period on the road. She was touched by the girl's filial piety and followed her to Taoyuan Village to surrender. It turned out that the demon wind seemed to be a monster with a high level of cultivation. The village master Qin Shouan and many wild animals had been demonized by it and became very bloodthirsty and cruel.

The hero soon fell into a hard battle, and finally saved the entire village, but he disappeared.

"What about Yaofeng? Has he ever been killed?" Shen Luo asked after hearing this.

"It's not mentioned in the rumors, but since Taoyuan Village has been free of demons since then, I guess they must have been killed." Lu Xiu thought for a while and said.

Shen Luo pondered to himself, but vaguely felt that the "Yao Feng" was most likely not actually killed, but the specific situation was probably only known to the "hero".

After Lu Xiu finished speaking, he chatted with Shen Luo about other anecdotes.

Not long after, Bai Xiaotian came to urge them and said they were going to have a banquet, so they stopped talking.

Shen Luo changed into a brand new round-collared green robe, put the stone box back on her body, and then followed Bai Xiaotian to the banquet.

…

At night, Shen Luo planned to take out the jade pendant and check the "Pure Yang Treasure Book" recorded in it, but not long after returning to the room, sleepiness hit him and he fell on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

He was drowsy and didn't know how long he had slept. Suddenly he felt a chill coming over his body. He shivered. He subconsciously reached out to his side and tried to pull the quilt. However, he missed the quilt and touched a piece of wood in his hand. Cold hard object.

Shen Luo frowned at first, but then he opened his eyes suddenly, and his consciousness suddenly came to his senses.

He sat up suddenly, and there was a "ding" sound around him, but several short guns fell from his body, colliding with each other and rolling to the ground.

Shen Luo lowered his head and saw that it was the short flame spears that he got from Commander Wu when he was dreaming about Jialan Temple.

He immediately realized that he was asleep again!

"Ouch……"

"Help..."

Before he could figure out what was going on, there were bursts of shrill wails for help coming from behind.

He suddenly turned around and looked around, and found that there were seven or eight thick bronze pillars standing on the ground a few feet away behind him. They were covered with copper rust and entangled with ropes made of condensed black energy.

The ferocious-looking ghosts with green faces and fangs were bound and fixed to the copper pillars by these ropes.

I don’t know why, but these ghosts all look haggard and droopy, and some of them are missing arms and legs, which makes them look inexplicably miserable.

Shen Luo subconsciously grabbed two short guns and took five or six steps back.

The sound of footsteps attracted the attention of all the ghosts. They all looked up, and when they saw Shen Luo, they suddenly became commotion.

A ghost with a blue head and red eyes screamed excitedly, showing its fangs. A hanged ghost with its tongue hanging down to its abdomen stretched out a pair of dry hands towards him, and a decapitated ghost held its head in its hand and pointed it at him. Shaking and shaking...

Shen Luo felt horrified for a while, calmed down, and looked around again, only to realize that the area beneath him, including the bronze pillars, was a circular altar covering a large area.

The center of the altar was filled with rammed earth, but around it were layers upon layers of white bones built with human heads and skulls. They were all facing the green light reflected in the altar, which made my scalp numb for a while.

He looked up and saw that the sky above his head was gloomy. A thick layer of yellow clouds pushed the sky very low. The atmosphere was strange and depressing. However, the terrain around the altar was open and there was no sign of any living things at all. It looked like a vast expanse of land. Dead wilderness.

"Shenluo, Shenluo..."

At this moment, Shen Luo suddenly heard a shout from behind him.

He hurriedly looked back and saw a red ghost with a horse head and human body. It opened its long horse's mouth and shouted his name loudly while waving his only one arm excitedly. .

Shen Luo was shocked. He really didn't know why this ghost knew his name.

He took a closer look at the ghost with a horse face and human body, and found that the clothes it wore were different from the other ghosts next to it. It looked a bit like the official clothes worn by the government officials.

"Who the hell are you? How do you know my name?" Shen Luo approached carefully and asked with a frown.
