Big dreamer

"It was an earthquake that had been rare for hundreds of years, and it affected a very wide range. The tsunami waves set off by the East China Sea were more than a hundred feet high, and the sea water poured inland and had already approached Daughter Village. Afterwards, I When I went to the East China Sea to investigate, I found that there had been changes in the abyss of the East China Sea, and countless space passages had been created out of thin air," Granny Sun said.

"Have you found out whether the earthquake was caused by a natural disaster, or was there some other reason?" Shen Luo asked.

Grandma Sun hesitated for a moment, then turned her wrist, and a blue-black scale as big as a cattail fan appeared in her palm. It was lightly shiny and had a unique layer of fine texture, as if it were polished by obsidian.

"This is what I picked up when I went to investigate the abyss of the East China Sea. Take a look." Grandma Sun said.

With that said, she handed the round blue-black scales to Shen Luo.

Shen Luo took it and found that the green-black scales seemed light and thin, but were quite heavy in the hand. They felt a little cold to the touch, and there was still a faint trace of blood power left in them.

"Having been stripped off the body for decades, how come there is still such residual power of blood and energy? What are these scales?" Shen Luo asked.

"I don't know what this thing is, but I think its body is probably the source of the changes in the East China Sea Abyss, because at that time, its aura remained in the entire East China Sea Abyss. It slowly dissipated later," Grandma Sun said.

Hearing this, Shen Luo rubbed the scales in his hand and pondered for a long time.

At this moment, there was a noise outside, and a daughter village elder entered the temple to report that several foreign monks had arrived outside the village and were intercepted by them.

"What are the people coming here like?" Shen Luo asked immediately after hearing this.

"There are two humans, a man and a woman, and the remaining three are demons. One of them has a strange aura, and I can't tell his origin." The elder thought for a moment and gave the answer.

"What, Fellow Daoist Shen, could he be your companion?" Granny Sun asked after seeing the change in Shen Luo's expression.

"Judging from the number of people, they do match up. The one they can't tell is probably the new Dragon King of the East China Sea, Ao Hong." Shen Luo said with a smile.

"Welcome them in." Grandma Sun said.

After a while, everyone walked into the main hall under the leadership of the elders.

"Cai Zhu." Shen Luo saw the beautiful woman coming in at a glance and immediately went to greet her.

After a few people talked, they realized that the places they came out of the space passage were similar, but the time was far apart. Fortunately, Yuanqiu had been searching at sea, and finally gathered them all together and took them here. Bian came to look for Shen Luo.

After Shen Luo introduced the two parties to each other, Ao Hong's eyes suddenly fell on the huge scales on Shen Luo's hand.

"Brother Shen, where did this thing come from?" Ao Hong asked with a frown.

"What, do you know him?" Shen Luo asked.

"This... these are Bei Mingkun's scales." Ao Hong paused for a moment and said.

Shen Luo immediately understood that the soul of the ancestral dragon in Ao Hong must have recognized this object.

"Beiming Kun...Beiming Giant Scale?" A thought suddenly rang in Shen Luo's mind.

At the beginning, Ma Xiuxiu mentioned the giant scale of the North Ming Dynasty to Youquan. Could it be this thing? Even if it's not this thing, there must be a connection between them.

"Grandma Sun, this object may be related to the demon activities I am investigating this time. Can you kindly lend it to me temporarily? I am willing to exchange it for a diagram of a high-grade ancestral protection array." Shen Luo Baoquan said.

"You don't have to be like this, Fellow Daoist Shen. Helping us repel the Ten Thousand Demons Alliance this time is already a huge favor. This scale is a free gift to you. How can I ask for any more reward?" Granny Sun waved her hands quickly.

"Now that the defensive formation in Daughter Village has been destroyed, if those guys from the Ten Thousand Demon Alliance come back again, how can you resist it? All I can get now is a formation diagram. As for the materials for setting up the formation, I can only Take out some of it, and you have to make up the rest yourself," Shen Luo said with a look of shame on his face.

While talking, he took out a storage ring and gave it to Granny Sun.

When the two of them were talking before, Shen Luo had already contacted Huo Lingzi in Xiaoyao Mirror, helped him choose a suitable array diagram, and left some of the materials used to set up the array.

"That's it, that's good. Since we've come to Daughter's Village, let's rest here for a few days so that we can fulfill our friendship as landlords." Grandma Sun took it and thanked her sincerely.

"I'm really sorry. The demons are paying attention to the Abyss of the East China Sea. I'm afraid there will be another wave of trouble there in the near future. We have to explore again as soon as possible to avoid being caught first by the demons and causing more trouble." Shen Luo cupped his fists and said.

"The urgency is not limited to just one or two days. Right now, Daughter's Village has too much to take care of itself. I'm afraid it can't be of much help. I can only provide you with a place to stay and have a good rest. Don't shirk it anymore." Grandma Sun said guiltily. .

"What did your mother-in-law say? Being able to get this giant scale of the North Ming Dynasty is already a big help... In this case, we will stay in the village for one day and leave tomorrow." Shen Luo said with a smile.

The two talked again, and Granny Sun asked people to take Shen down to rest.

As soon as Shen Luo left, Granny Sun came to the inner room and patted the wall somewhere.

The wall creaked, revealing a passage about ten feet high.

Grandma Sun walked through the passage and came to a dark room.

There is a square wood incense table placed here, and in the center is a tablet. It is made of bones, but there is no word on it, which is very strange.

There were two purple candles burning on both sides of the tablet. The faint purple flames added a little light to the room, but made it even more eerie.

Grandma Sun took an incense stick from the incense table, lit it on the purple fire, paid homage to the memorial tablet three times, and inserted it into the incense burner.

The green smoke rose up, but did not disperse. Instead, it gradually gathered in one place and turned into a mist.

"How's the matter?" Human Face's eyes slowly opened and he said, it turned out to be an extremely pleasant female voice.

"Everything has been done according to the instructions of the ancestor, and the giant scale has been handed over to Shen Luo." Granny Sun said.

"Very good..." A smile appeared on Mist Man's face.

…

The next morning.

Shen Luo and his party bid farewell to Daughter Village and headed to the abyss of the East China Sea again.

Compared to when they arrived the day before yesterday, the storm wall covering the Abyss of the East China Sea became even larger. When Shen Luo and everyone passed through it, they all felt bursts of powerful spiritual pressure.

However, they did not stop and dived directly into the abyss of the East China Sea.

Not long after Shen Luo and others entered the water of the East China Sea Abyss, the fog inside the storm wall began to roll violently. Huge ships shuttled out of the fog and arrived at the waters above the East China Sea Abyss.

More than a dozen huge ships docked side by side, and there were many figures on them. They were densely packed with monsters, numbering in the thousands. Each of them held a weapon in their hands, and their faces were filled with excitement and no fear at all.

On the masts behind them, there were all large flags, either apricot or crimson, embroidered with the three characters "Alliance of Ten Thousand Demons".

Standing on the front deck of the first ship was a young man with a snow-white face. He was wearing a high crown and a black fox fur cloak. He was holding a strange crimson cane in both hands, which seemed to have intertwined blood.

Next to him, there was a short man with his hands behind his back and a calm look on his face.

If Shen Luo were here, he would definitely be able to recognize at a glance that this person was the demon man he had seen in his dream, who was discussing the abyss of the East China Sea with Ma Xiuxiu.

But for some unknown reason, at this moment, there was no demonic energy dissipating from his body. Instead, there was a faint demonic aura lingering around him, making him look like a hidden demon.
