Big dreamer

A smile appeared at the corner of Shen Luo's mouth, and he quickly passed through and came directly behind the black shadow. He stretched out his palm and grabbed the black shadow's back.

However, just when his palm was about to touch, the black shadow's body suddenly shrank, changing from the size of a watermelon to the size of a fist.

The moment it dodged Shen Luo's palm, the black shadow suddenly expanded again, and his body suddenly shot up and crashed forward. When he was about to fly three feet away, a circle of light suddenly lit up around him, and then In a flash, he disappeared from Shen Luo's sight.

Shen Luo was surprised when he discovered that the moment his figure disappeared, the aura fluctuations on his body became undetectable.

But before he could figure out what was going on, a loud roar suddenly came from above his head, and then a huge force crashed down from above, directly blasting the ground away.

Shen Luo retreated violently, barely able to avoid the heavy blow, but was hit by a rippling wave of power. His heart suddenly sank, but his body flew out directly under the repercussions of this huge force. ground.

The moment he broke out of the ground, a cold light flashed in front of him, and a nine-ring sword roared towards him, slashing directly towards his eyes. .

Shen Luo was startled, and quickly reacted. The moonlight was shining under his feet, and his figure suddenly flashed. The figure pulled out blurry afterimages in the moonlight, and he reluctantly moved out of the way.

After dodging this blow, Shen Luo did not dare to hesitate at all. While his figure quickly retreated, he carefully looked around with his eyes.

Only then did he realize that a tall figure nearly ten feet tall was standing about ten feet in front of him.

He was wearing black gold armor, a soap-colored robe, a black and green silk ribbon around his waist, crimson leather boots on his feet, and a nine-ringed sword in his hand. However, he did not look like a human race, but a bear monster.

"Okay! Where is this little thief so brave that he dares to break into the purple bamboo forest without permission?" His eyes were widened, and he looked straight at Shen Luo, with a fierce look on his face, and said angrily.

"Senior, don't be angry. This junior is not a thief who invaded for no reason. He was chasing a monster and accidentally broke into this place. That guy has already broken in..." Shen Luo stabilized his figure and waved his hands quickly.

"Fart, I am stationed here, and there is a barrier blocking it. If there is a demon, how can it escape?" Hearing this, the black bear spirit suddenly became furious and prepared to attack again.

"That monster is good at hiding its traces. It just escaped all the way. When it got here, it went straight through the barrier. It really went in." Shen Luo looked anxious, looked behind the black bear spirit, and explained quickly .

I saw a dense purple bamboo forest behind, with mist rising, making it impossible to see clearly what was going on inside.

"Hey, you still dare to peek? How dare you!" The black bear spirit suddenly shouted loudly, and swung the long knife in his hand again, slashing at Shen Luo.

Shen Luo knew he was outmatched and was unwilling to compete with him, so he continued to retreat violently.

At this moment, a pleasant voice suddenly came from the purple bamboo forest: "Senior Protector, stop your hands quickly..."

When the black bear spirit heard this, his movements stagnated and he really stopped.

"That fellow Taoist didn't lie. There was indeed a monster invading the Purple Bamboo Forest just now. I wanted to capture it, but instead I used an escape technique for it to escape." Then, a figure slowly walked out of the forest. .

Shen Luo followed the sound, his expression suddenly stiffened, and he froze slightly.

I saw that the woman was wearing a goose-yellow dress, her skin was as good as snow, her eyes were like ink, her nose was slightly straight, her lips were like jade, her pretty face had sparse eyebrows, she had lost all her childishness, and she looked extremely delicate.

But it was none other than his fiancée, Nie Caizhu.

"Have you ever seen clearly what that thing is, that it can pass through the barrier outside the purple bamboo forest silently?" The black bear spirit heard this and immediately asked.

"It seems to be some kind of charm, but there is a faint demonic energy on it. It should be still in the process of becoming a demon." Nie Caizhu kept his eyes on Shen Luo and answered.

"You know... thief boy, what are you looking at?" The black bear spirit wanted to ask Shen Luo, but when she turned around, she saw him looking at Nie Caizhu with a dazed look on his face.

Shen Luo didn't listen to even a word of the black bear spirit's question.

"You little thief, do you think that Nie Yatou is your wife? Are you still watching her all the time?" The black bear spirit suddenly felt dissatisfied, secretly cursing "a bastard" in his heart, and raised his voice.

After his voice sounded, Shen Luo came back to his senses, and almost at the same time, he and Nie Caizhu looked at each other and smiled.

"Girl Nie, aren't you still in seclusion? Why did you run out on your own? Aren't you afraid of being punished by your master?" The black bear spirit asked without noticing the strangeness between the two of them.

"Senior Protector, I have already left seclusion early this evening. I still can't get over the bottleneck. I decided to listen to Master and put it on hold for a while." Nie Caizhu said.

"Your qualifications are already the best among the humans I have seen over the years. Even Wei Qing is a bit inferior to you. How many years have you been here in Putuo Mountain? You are already at the peak of the out-of-body stage. It's almost time to reach the Mahayana stage. But to be honest, practicing too fast is not necessarily a good thing. The reason why you are having difficulty breaking through your current bottleneck is also related to the fact that your previous practice was too smooth." The black bear spirit pondered for a moment and said. .

"This... Master has also told me about it." Nie Caizhu said hesitantly.

"Haha... It's useless to say it. There is no one up and down Mount Putuo who doesn't know your name as 'Taoist Idiot'. Over the years, you have either been practicing in seclusion or on the road to practicing in seclusion." Black Bear Spirit said with a smile.

"Senior Protector, please stop making fun of me, and help you check if there is anything strange about the barrier formation in Zizhu Forest?" Nie Caizhu said hurriedly with a blush on her cheeks.

"Yes, yes, I almost forgot about the business." The black bear spirit nodded repeatedly.

After that, he turned around and was about to leave, but found that Shen Luo was still standing there. He couldn't help but said in a loud voice: "This is the forbidden area of ​​Mount Putuo. Why don't you leave, you little thief?"

"When this junior came, he fled all the way to the ground. When he reached the top, he didn't know how to get back to Youran Valley." Shen Luo scratched his head and said with some embarrassment.

"You don't know, and you don't know how to ask? Just..." Black Bear Spirit was interrupted by Nie Caizhu before he could finish his words.

"Senior Protector, I have nothing to do at the moment, so why not let me lead the way for him?"

When the black bear spirit heard this, he immediately felt that the moon was rising in the west tonight. This girl Nie's behavior was really abnormal. How could she be interested in taking care of these things in the past?

But before he could say anything, Nie Caizhu had already said goodbye, stepped forward and led Shen Luo away.

The black bear spirit looked at the backs of the two people leaving side by side, and suddenly felt something interesting. He slapped his thigh and couldn't help shouting: "So it's this brat."
