Big dreamer

There was still silence in Changlefang. There were basically no people along the way. There were only some lonely ghosts floating around, making this area look like a ghost corner.

Shen Luo didn't know what was strange in the dark clouds in the sky. He did not rush to fly with his sword, but carefully walked through the streets and alleys, trying to avoid those sinister ghosts. Only when it was inevitable, would he take risks. But we will also strive to kill with one hit and minimize movement.

He walked and stopped like this along the way. In addition to encountering a large number of ghosts, he also encountered some human monks. However, it was difficult to distinguish between friend and foe, so Shen Luo did not provoke them, but silently remembered everything he saw in his heart.

However, what puzzled him was that no one from the Tang government was seen along the way. After all, there was such a big mess, and people from the government should be dispatched to clean up the mess.

After Shen Luo passed through three cities in succession, he almost reached the boundary of Yongyefang. There were once again killing cries from all around, and he finally saw people from the government again.

He happened to encounter a group of government soldiers on the street, fighting with dozens of ghosts, so he helped to kill them, and then led by a veteran, he went straight to the square gate.

On the street outside Yongyefang Gate, there are seven or eight camps built. There are a large number of soldiers stationed around, and there are also monks sitting inside the camps. It is completely in a state of wartime alert.

Shen Luo was able to enter the workshop only after strict interrogation and the testimony of the veteran.

As soon as he entered Yongye Square, he was shocked by the scene in front of him. He saw simple tents set up everywhere in the streets and alleys of the square, and they were all occupied by people who had fled from all over the south of the city. They all looked ugly. They were all obviously in shock.

"How could this happen?" Shen Luo frowned and sighed. .

Judging from various signs, the severity of the disaster in Chang'an City far exceeded his imagination.

"Alas, the Immortal Master didn't know something. This time the ghosts attacked? It happened too suddenly. Almost all the cities in the south of the city had ghost troubles at the same time. It caught the city's defenses off guard. By the time they reacted, it was already too late. "The veteran sighed."

"There is obviously someone behind this ghost trouble? Is it a plotted attack on Chang'an City? It is not that easy to deal with." Shen Luo said.

"Isn't that right? Last night, the government urgently united with some other monks in the city to go and exterminate the ghosts. Although they did not gather all their strength, their strength should not be underestimated. What was the result? Still, they could not kill all the ghosts. They could only kill all the ghosts. They blocked the line from Yongyefang to Chongfufang? The entire south of the city has been lost," the veteran sighed and continued.

When Shen Luo heard this, he didn't say anything else. He started to think about Qian Tong and the other two people he met earlier, and he felt more and more uneasy.

Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, the veteran opened his mouth and said comfortingly:

"There is no need to worry, Immortal Master? We, the Tang government, are not easy to mess with. It's just that we haven't integrated the team for the time being, so there is no full-scale counterattack. Moreover, there is news that the city has also sent people out of the city to attack Huasheng Temple and other Xianjia sects. Call for reinforcements. Once the reinforcements arrive, we will attack them from both inside and outside, and ensure that no one of them can escape."

His words were full of pride as a soldier of the Tang Dynasty. Hearing this, Shen Luo felt warm and said with a smile:

"That's right. With Cheng Guogong and several major sects here, these demons and monsters won't be able to be arrogant for long."

The veteran had originally come back to take a break from changing defenses, so he and Shen Luo parted ways after walking halfway through the workshop.

Shen Luo walked all the way towards the Imperial City. When he was about to leave Yongyefang, he noticed that the sky was suddenly brightening in front of him. When he looked up again, he realized that the dark clouds above his head only covered this place, and the bright light emanating from the direction of the Imperial City was The weather blocked it.

Arriving at Cheng Guogong's residence, the guard at the door called a message, and soon a figure hurriedly walked out of the residence. It was Lu Huaming.

"Hey, Brother Shen, you're finally here." Lu Huaming shouted from a distance.

"I encountered a large number of ghosts last night. Something went wrong while tracking them down. I should have come here a long time ago," Shen Luo said.

"Oh, what happened?" Lu Huaming frowned slightly and asked quickly.

Shen Luo then briefly told the story of meeting the three people in the body training altar.

"It's not easy for you to escape safely from three Soul Condensation Stage monks." Lu Huaming looked Shen Luo up and down and saw that he had no obvious injuries. He smiled and patted his shoulder and said.

"What is the current situation? Why does it seem like half of Chang'an City has fallen?" Shen Luo asked.

"The situation is a bit complicated. I can't explain it clearly to you for a while. However, the upper levels of the government have already made countermeasures, so there is no need to worry too much. It's just that the opportunity is not available right now, and the people are suffering." Lu Hua sighed. road.

With that said, he led Shen Luo all the way to Cheng's residence.

"Now is the time to employ people. The imperial court issued a list this morning, calling all the monks in the city, regardless of the sect's genealogical immortal masters or free casual cultivators, to be temporarily recruited to serve under the government to fight against the ghosts together." Lu Huaming walked away. Said while talking.

"It is my duty to serve the people of the Tang Dynasty loyally and without hesitation." Shen Luo said immediately without hesitation.

"Haha, what Brother Shen said is true. In this way, you and I can fight side by side again." Lu Huaming also smiled.

As soon as he finished speaking, the badge hanging around his waist suddenly flashed with bursts of light.

"I wanted to take you to have a rest for a while, but it seems that we can't. The government is calling urgently, so I have to go there immediately." Lu Huaming frowned slightly and said a little apologetically.

"It doesn't matter. If I can help, I'll go with you." Shen Luo waved his hand and said.

Lu Huaming hesitated for a moment, and then said: "It shouldn't be a battle matter... Well, I'll take you there with me, and I'll send you to the recruitment office where the monks are recruited."

"Okay." Shen Luo nodded.

The two of them immediately rushed to the Tang government. On the way, Shen Luo told Lu Huaming everything he saw along the way.

"Brother Shen, what you said is all very important information. It will be of great significance to our future operations. It is already a great achievement." Lu Huaming said with a smile.

When Shen Luo heard this, he didn't pay much attention.

After Lu Huaming sent Shen Luo all the way to the Tiangbing Palace, he left first.

Shen Luo stood in the somewhat empty square outside the palace, took a look at the majestic vermillion hall in front of him, and walked in.

There are not many furnishings in the main hall. In front of you is a confidential cabinet that is almost as high as the roof. It is densely covered with large and small squares, with a label on it, and each name is written on it. .

In front of the confidential cabinet, there were three desks, and behind them sat an official in court uniform. They were all busy flipping through the documents in their hands. For a while, no one noticed Shen Luo's arrival.

"Ahem."

Shen Luo coughed twice, and the three people were shocked at the same time and raised their heads.

"He's the immortal master who came to register, right? What's his name?" The person sitting in the middle, about forty or fifty years old, with a thin body and clear features, stood up first and hugged Shen Luo with his fists.

The other two people, who were quite young, immediately stood up and bowed respectfully, then sat down again with their heads down, minding their own business.
