Big dreamer

Shen Luo was thinking about it in his mind, but there was no hesitation on his face and he nodded in agreement.

The maid took him towards the mansion and soon came to a tall courtyard.

"That's it right here. Master, please come in. I'm leaving." The maid bowed and quickly walked away.

Shen Luo glanced inside. There was a tall main hall in the courtyard, with two people standing vaguely inside.

"Who is the other one?" He frowned slightly, then quickly relaxed and walked into the hall.

One of the two people in the hall was Cheng Yaojin, and the other was a young Taoist priest, holding a snow-white whisk and smiling.

The Taoist priest was joking with Cheng Yaojin, but when he saw Shen Luo coming in, he looked over.

Shen Luo's mind suddenly froze for some unknown reason, and his whole body seemed to be seen through. His hands and feet trembled uncontrollably, and he froze there.

"Haha, this must be Xiaoyou Shen. Speaking of which, we have already met once..." The young Taoist priest smiled and nodded at Shen Luo.

Shen Luo came back to his senses when he heard the voice, and the voice was very familiar.

"Your Excellency, you are Yuan Tiangang and Yuan Guoshi?"

The voice of this young Taoist priest was exactly the same as the voice of the girl named Li by the River Styx in the underworld before.

"Yes, I am Yuan Tiangang. Last time I said goodbye to my Taoist friends on the bank of the River Styx in a hurry. I didn't even get to know each other by name. Please don't blame me, ahem..." Yuan Tiangang raised one palm in a salute, and then I suddenly coughed a few times and seemed to be sick.

"I don't dare. Your Majesty the Imperial Master is too polite." Shen Luo hurriedly returned the courtesy and lowered his eyes.

In his dream, his cultivation had reached the realm of true immortals, and his vision was brilliant. The Yuan Tiangang in front of him gave him an extremely unfathomable feeling, like a boundless ocean that seemed to have no waves, but was actually bottomless.

He has seen many masters, but no matter Cheng Yaojin, Huangmu Master, Jinghe Dragon King, or even the East China Sea Dragon King in the dream, they seem to be less terrifying than Yuan Tiangang.

The appearance of this person here made Shen Luo feel uneasy for some unknown reason.

With Yuan Tiangang's Taoist practice and being in the Cheng Mansion, I wonder if he noticed the existence of the jade pillow and the phantom of the Heavenly Book.

"Yuan Mou came to visit Cheng Mansion today. He is also a guest. Xiaoyou Shen does not need to be so polite." Yuan Tiangang said with a smile.

"Okay, you two, stop being so polite. Mr. Shen, I called you here today because the Dual True Water you requested earlier has arrived." Cheng Yaojin interrupted the two of them.

When Shen Luo heard this, he couldn't care less about Yuan Tiangang, and his face showed joy.

The Tang government had previously promised to give him some Dual True Water, but due to the ghost trouble in Chang'an, the matter had been put on hold and he almost forgot about it.

Cheng Yaojin said, took out a half-foot-tall silver jade bottle and handed it over.

Shen Luo hurriedly took it with both hands. The jade bottle didn't look big, but it weighed hundreds of kilograms. He secretly used his magic power to hold it up.

He silently used his spiritual consciousness to probe into the bottle, and felt happy again.

This jade bottle was actually filled with Dual True Water, which was several times more than the Dual True Water he had previously obtained from Chen Gang.

"Thank you, Lord Duke, for your generous gift." Shen Luo turned over the jade bottle and put it away, cupping his fists and thanking him.

With so much Dual True Water, he was confident that he could practice Wuming Kung Fu to the peak of the Soul Condensation Stage in a short period of time.

As for breaking through the out-of-body period later, he is already quite confident.

Shen Luo had already had the experience of breaking through the out-of-body stage once in his dream. He knew that the most important thing to break through this realm was that the power of the soul must be strong enough to break through the limitations of the physical body and escape in one fell swoop.

He had previously absorbed two soul cultivators from the body training altar on the banks of the River Styx. The power of his soul had increased by more than 30%, which was enough to reach the out-of-body stage. And this time, in the second half of the nameless skill he obtained in his dream, there was a secret method to assist in breaking through the out-of-body stage, called "Three Yuan Kaitai", which could also increase the chance of breakthrough.

"Thank you! This is what you deserve. I'm already ashamed of delaying it until now." Cheng Yaojin said with a smile, stroking his beard.

"Your Excellency, you are joking. It is all because of the ghost trouble that the material delivery is slow. How can I not understand?" Shen Luo put away the jade bottle and held it in his hand.

"It seems that the Duke and Master Yuan still have something to discuss. If there are no other instructions, I will leave now." He glanced at the two of them and said quickly.

Although Shen Luo still wanted to ask Cheng Yaojin to help investigate the matter of the demon soul in Chang'an, Yuan Tiangang was standing here, maybe because of his high level of cultivation, or maybe because of what Ma Xiuxiu said on the bank of the Styx River. He couldn't trust this person and planned to mention this matter to Cheng Yaojin another day.

"Little friend Shen, don't leave in a hurry. Yuan came to visit the Duke's residence today. One reason is to discuss something with the Duke, and the other reason is that he wants to meet my little friend." Yuan Tiangang suddenly spoke to persuade him to stay.

"I wonder what the Imperial Master is doing here?" Shen Luo was startled and looked at Yuan Tiangang.

"That day on the bank of the River Styx in the underworld, Pindao rescued His Majesty because the secret technique of soul possession had a time limit, so he returned with His Majesty's soul first. According to what Lu Huaming, Cheng Guogong's disciple, was the one who fought to the end with the Dragon King of Jinghe River. It’s my friend, this evil dragon has a deep grudge against me, the Tang Dynasty. I’m here to ask you to recount the details of your last battle,” Yuan Tiangang said with a smile as he stared into his sinking eyes.

Shen Luo's heart skipped a beat. Although he tried his best to remain calm on his face, the slight fluctuation in his eyes still caught Yuan Tiangang's eyes.

"What, is there any inconvenience to Xiaoyou Shen?" Yuan Tiangang asked.

Shen Luo frowned slightly, but soon felt relieved.

Although he and Ma Xiuxiu had some friendship, they were not life-or-death friends. They had become enemies because of the Millennium Spiritual Breast incident before, so there was no need to cover up for them.

Moreover, Ma Xiuxiu once said that it was Yuan Tiangang who transformed into Yuan Shoucheng and designed to frame the Jinghe Dragon King. This statement has always been a knot in his heart. Now Cheng Yaojin is also present, just in time to see what Yuan Tiangang has to say.

"Of course there is no inconvenience. I chased and killed the Dragon Queen of Jinghe River with my sword that day..." Shen Luo recounted everything about chasing and killing the Dragon King of Jinghe River that day.

When Cheng Yaojin heard this for the first time, his expression changed again and again.

Yuan Tiangang was not surprised, but frowned, as if he had encountered something very confusing.

"...In the end, Ma Xiuxiu turned into a dragon and left, and I also fell into a coma. After waking up, I appeared in the Cheng Mansion. This is the cause and effect of the matter. I didn't hide anything. If you don't believe it, you can ask the underworld for confirmation. "Shen Luo cupped his hands and said.

Cheng Yaojin and Yuan Tiangang were speechless for a moment, both standing there in silence.

"Thank you, Mr. Shen, for elaborating on this matter." Yuan Tiangang came to his senses first and nodded his thanks to Shen Luo.

"Master Yuan is polite. I just heard Cheng Guogong talk about the Dragon King of Jinghe River before, and I heard what Ma Xiuxiu said in the underworld that day. There seems to be some discrepancy between the two, especially the remarks about Yuan Shoucheng's identity are completely different. I don’t know what’s going on?” Shen Luo didn’t bother to beat around the bush and asked Yuan Tiangang directly.
