Big dreamer

"With the help of the national master, master, all the demonic energy in the old man's body has been dissipated. However, the meridians and soul have been deeply invaded by the demonic energy. It will take a long time to recuperate. I am afraid that the cultivation level will be greatly damaged." Lu Huaming said in a deep voice.

Shen Luo's heart sank when he heard this. He didn't expect Cheng Yaojin's injury to be so serious.

"The officials of the Tang Dynasty and Yuan Guoshi are very capable. There is nothing embarrassing about this matter. However, yesterday during the battle at Yuanqiu, I obtained these three treasures from several demons. They all have the effect of suppressing demonic energy. I would like to trouble you two to bring them to justice." Send it to Duke Cheng Guo to help him recover as soon as possible. This is my way of repaying Duke Cheng Guo's kindness to me in the past." He thought for a moment and then took out the general Mo Xie, the Wordless Scripture and the Book of Conquering Demons, and placed them on the table.

Lu Huaming did not recognize the three treasures, but Master Huang Mu knew that these three treasures were Yuan Tiangang's personal treasures. How could they be here with Shen Luo?

Thoughts surged in his mind, and he wanted to ask, but he still didn't say anything.

Master Huangmu pondered over and over again, and finally accepted the Three Treasures, planning to enter the palace later and ask Yuan Tiangang.

After a few people talked for a while, Lu Huaming and Master Huang Mu said goodbye and left.

"Brother Shen, are you planning to go to the country of Qingqiu?" Hu Bugui asked after seeing the two off.

"The matter in Chang'an City is full of doubts. The Qingqiu Fox Clan may not be an accomplice. If this matter is not investigated clearly, I will feel uneasy..." Shen Luo sighed and said.

"Brother Shen killed countless monsters last night without even blinking. It was as if the God of Death came to the world, which is intimidating. I didn't expect that he had such a compassionate heart." Hu Bugui said with a smile.

"The matter is urgent, I'll set off right away. Brother Fox, what are your plans?" Shen Luo rolled his eyes at Hu Bugui and asked angrily.

"Brother Shen, as a human being, is also willing to work for our Fox Clan. I am also a member of the Fox Clan, so I naturally have no shirk in my duty to go with you." Hu Bugui said with a smile.

Shen Luo nodded slightly. He had never been to the Country of Qingqiu. With someone like Hu Bugui who knew the place following him, many things would be much easier to handle.

The two of them set off immediately without delay.

…

On the border of the Tang Dynasty, more than a hundred miles outside Hongzhou City, there was a border military town called Xiangyang Town.

The town is small in area, but it is extremely lively on weekdays. This is because it is adjacent to the Valley of the Chaoyang to the south and is a neighbor of the Qingqiu Kingdom in the valley. It often conducts various trade transactions.

Qingqiu Country is a country of the Fox Clan. Its people can transform into human beings after practicing to a certain level, and their skins are the best in the world. Therefore, they are favored by the human race and often attract people from all over the world to come here.

But in recent days, the situation in the military town has changed.

For some unknown reason, the Tang government suddenly issued an order to close down the trade activities in Xiangyang Military Town. Immediately afterwards, a large number of government troops from Hongzhou were dispatched and stationed in Xiangyang Town.

The originally dispensable military towns and city defenses were replaced by the government army, and began to become extremely strict, with a posture of readying for war.

On this day, Shen Luo and his party finally arrived here.

They rested for a while in the military town. After Hu Bugui filled up his drinks, they were ready to leave Xiangyang Town and enter the Valley of the Chaoyang.

Just as the three of them were about to leave the town, they were stopped by the defending government troops.

One of the monks who accompanied the army, who was only in the early stage of Mahayana cultivation, could not see the depth of Shen Luo and Hu Bugui, but he vaguely sensed the aura of the fox clan on Mi Su, and immediately led people to surround them.

"The bold Fox clan dares to sneak into the military town now, are they spies to collect intelligence?" the monk accompanying the army shouted.

Mi Su was a little angry when he heard this. When he was about to speak, he was stopped by Shen Luo.

"Fellow Taoist, I misunderstood. We just returned from Chang'an and were going to Qingqiu to investigate the troubles in the Fox clan." Shen Luo said.

"Hmph, I think they just attacked Chang'an City. Do you want to take the opportunity to escape back? Come on, take them all down." The monk shouted immediately.

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of government soldiers with weapons in hand came forward.

Seeing this, Shen Luo had no choice but to take out a token from his waist and show it to the monk.

When the monk saw Shen Luo, he took out the official token of the Tang Dynasty. After confirming that it was correct, he realized that he had made a mistake and immediately apologized: "My subordinates are also acting under orders. I hope you will forgive me."

"It doesn't matter, you did the right thing." Shen Luo took back the token and said with a smile.

The monk who accompanied the army secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he really had no intention of pursuing the matter.

"But what is going on now? Why did the atmosphere suddenly become so tense? When we left Chang'an a few days ago, we had never heard that it had reached such an extent." Shen Luo asked.

"Your Majesty, I don't know. Because the Fox clan has made too much noise, all clans have decided to jointly seek an explanation from the Qingqiu Kingdom. The Tang Dynasty government sent an order a few days ago, asking us to station at Xiangyang Military Town and keep a close eye on the situation. Pay attention to the movements in the Valley of the Rising Sun," the monk accompanying the army quickly explained.

He paused and then added with some worry: "I'm afraid the war will rekindle..."

Hearing this, Mi Su's expression suddenly became tense.

Seeing this, Shen Luo patted Mi Su's shoulder, telling her not to worry too much.

After a few people registered here according to the regulations, they left Xiangyang Town and headed into the Valley of the Chaoyang.

…

Outside the military town is a smooth road that runs through and extends into the valley far away.

"I heard from Grandma Qiu that this road was built by the Tang government. The relationship between our Qingqiu Kingdom and the Tang Dynasty has always been very good... I really don't know why it became like this." Misu felt like this. Doesn’t make sense.

"Don't worry too much. Let's go back and investigate what's going on. Maybe we can resolve the conflict," Shen Luo said.

"There must be a misunderstanding here. As long as the misunderstanding is solved and the real culprit behind the scenes is found, the suspicion of our Qingqiu Kingdom will be lifted." Misu nodded, but did not loosen his frown.

When Shen Luo saw this, he didn't say anything else. Hu Bugui beside him also seemed unusually silent. He only raised his head and occasionally took a sip of wine, and his eyes always fell on the mountains and rivers in the distance.

Regardless of the mood of the three people at this time, the scenery in the Valley of the Chaoyang is excellent. Although it is called a valley in name, the terrain is not narrow. It is just that the terrain is higher in the far distance on both sides, which makes it look like a vast valley. Valley.

At the end of the valley, the towering peak is Qingqiu Mountain.

Low shrubs and towering trees are staggered in the valley. Every once in a while, you can see a gurgling stream flowing through it. Occasionally, it gathers into a clear spring at a rocky beach or low-lying area, and then flows into the underground river.

Wherever the few people passed, there were gradually no traces of human habitation, and the sounds of birdsong and animal hooves in the forest also became more numerous.

The little fox Misu walked beside Shen Luo, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled it. A slight smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and her face was obviously much more relaxed.

Shen Luo sighed in his heart, it seems that this little girl seems to be quite calm these days, but in fact she is living a somewhat nervous life.
