Big dreamer

I don't know how long it took, but in the Tianji City guest room, Shen Luo's eyes suddenly opened and he sat up from the bed.

Immediately afterwards, he felt his eyes go dark, and a dizzy feeling came over him. Unable to restrain his sleepiness, he fell down and fell asleep again.

He slept for most of the day, and when he woke up again, it was already the evening of the next day.

Shen Luo hurriedly found his young master and told him in detail about his dream journey last night.

"Senior, actually until now, I'm still not sure whether I really traveled through time in a dream or just had a dream." Shen Luo said with some uncertainty.

"According to what you said, during this dream travel, you did not go to the world a thousand years later, but went back to the day before yesterday when Elder Manbao was killed?" The young master also frowned and asked.

"Yes...and in this dream, I am just like a bystander. Others cannot see me or detect my existence. I am also like an illusory shadow, unable to touch other people." Shen Luo said .

"If that's the case, it looks more like a dream." The young master pondered.

"But after waking up from the dream, I felt exhausted and fell into a deep sleep again. This is very different from my usual, and it's really hard to judge." Shen Luo shook his head and said.

"This jade pillow is really unusual. Even though I have restored it, there is no guarantee that it will be exactly the same as before. Therefore, it is not impossible to change the magical power of the jade pillow unintentionally." The young master pondered for a long time. , said.

After hearing this, Shen Luo was silent for a long time.

"It seems that the specific situation can only be verified by you the next time you fall asleep." After a moment, he raised his head and said.

"Well. Then, what are your plans next?" the young master asked.

"Next... let's start searching for the spiritual materials to refine the Taiqing Pill, and prepare early for promotion to the Taiyi realm. After all, strength is the last word." Shen Luo thought for a while and said.

"I happen to have something here that I want to ask you for. I don't know..." Before the young master could finish his words, he was interrupted by Shen Luo.

"Senior, I just said it doesn't matter. If this junior can help, I won't shirk it." Shen Luo said, cupping his fists.

"It's like this. This time Qingqiu State sent people to join forces with Che Qingtian to invade our Tianji City, causing the death of Elder Manbao and heavy losses in the city. He must be held accountable. I plan to let Yan Wushi lead Tianji City this time Disciple, go to negotiate. But after all, he has too little experience and is far less stable and reliable than you. I hope you can accompany him." The young master said.

Hearing this, Shen Luo did not agree immediately, but asked with some confusion: "Senior, why don't you let the elders of the sect accompany you?"

"This time, it is not only our Tianji City that wants to hold Qingqiu State accountable, but many sects in the Three Realms have to hold Qingqiu State accountable. Do you still remember the fox chaos in Chang'an City before? That matter is not over yet, Datang The government and the many sects that participated in the Yanhe Conference have been holding Qingqiu Kingdom accountable for several days," said the young master.

When Shen Luo comes back from the secret realm, he always feels a little lost in time and space. If he thinks about it carefully, it hasn't been long since he left Qingqiu Country.

"Most of the people sent by other sects this time are the best of the younger generation, and they seem to be interested in training the next generation of young monks." The young master continued.

After hearing what he said, Shen Luo understood.

"After looking at the various sects, they don't take the Qingqiu Fox Clan seriously," he said thoughtfully.

"This time it is mainly a conflict between the Tang government and the Qingqiu Fox Clan. Although other factions have also followed suit, they are mostly just joining in the fun to see if they can profit from it. However, I Judging from what happened this time, I'm afraid it won't be easy to solve. I asked Yan Wushi to go there this time because I hope he can get more experience." Xiaofuzi said.

"That being the case, I will accompany him. It just so happens that I also want to investigate what the Qingqiu Fox Clan is planning." Shen Luo nodded and said.

"Then you go back and get ready, and let's set off together tomorrow." The young master said.

After Shen Luo responded, he said goodbye and left.

After leaving the Master, Nie Caizhu knocked on his door as soon as he returned to his residence.

Shen Luo welcomed Nie Caizhu into the room. Seeing that she had a troubled expression on her face, as if she had something to say but didn't say it out loud, she took the initiative and asked, "What, is there anything else that we can't talk about directly between you and me?"

"My...master sent a message and asked me to return to the sect. I may have to go back to Putuo Mountain." Nie Caizhu hesitated for a moment and said.

"I thought it was something. You have been away from the sect for a long time this time, and it is indeed time to go back. However, I just promised Senior Master Yan to accompany Yan Wushi to Qingqiu Country, but I am afraid that I will not be able to accompany you back. Putuo Mountain." Shen Luo said apologetically.

Unexpectedly, Nie Caizhu heard this and immediately asked: "Where did you say you were going?"

"Qingqiu Country, what happened?" Shen Luo asked.

"Master asked me to go back and lead my junior brothers and sisters to attack the Qingqiu Kingdom." Nie Caizhu said with a smile on his face.

"Are you leading the team at Putuo Mountain?" Shen Luo was surprised at first, but soon felt that it should be the case.

"In that case, we can travel together again without having to separate." Nie Caizhu said happily, overjoyed.

Seeing her smiling like a flower, Shen Luo couldn't help but smile.

…

The next day, early in the morning.

When Shen Luo and Nie Caizhu arrived at the inner city square, they saw a huge two-story flying boat parked there.

There were more than a dozen people standing outside the flying boat, headed by Wuming Elder and Yan Wushi.

When Shen Luo and the two walked over, the unknown elder was still telling Yan Wushi some things. Yan Wushi had a serious look on his face and was silent, just nodding his head.

When Shen Luo came closer, he discovered that there was a woman sitting cross-legged among the dozen Tianji City disciples behind him. Her clothes were stained with blood, her hair was disheveled, and her exposed skin was covered with dried blood scabs. Suffered torture.

"Huh……"

After Shen Luo greeted everyone, he leaned down with some confusion and lifted the man's drooped head.

As the messy hair covering the man's forehead fell to both sides, a familiar face, although covered in blood, was revealed in front of Shen Luo. It was Youli, the elder of Qingqiu Kingdom.

At this moment, Elder Youli has a rune carved into the flesh between his eyebrows, his eyes are slightly turned up, and there is no trace of expression in his pupils. There is also a ring of armor engraved with complex runes around his neck.

"This is it?" Shen Luo asked a little confused.

"This woman is really tough-talking. No matter how she was tortured, she did not reveal any information. She used the soul-searching technique on her, and even half of her soul was destroyed by her. If her sea of ​​consciousness had not been sealed in time, she might have lost her mind. He has self-destructed and died." The unknown elder sighed and said.

The methods used on Elder Youli were all designed to prevent her from committing suicide.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, I will ask you to take care of me on the way from now on." The nameless elder gave him a fist.

"Fellow Taoist Yan and I will take care of each other," Shen Luo said in return.

"Don't worry, Elder Wuming. If anything happens along the way, I will ask Brother Shen for advice." Yan Wushi also said.

"Okay, then I won't worry about it anymore. You can set off immediately." Upon seeing this, the nameless elder said with a smile.

After everyone said goodbye, they escorted Elder Youli to board the ship and set off for Chang'an City.
