Big dreamer

"I bought it! The best cinnabar and these blue frost papers."

Yu Meng put away the smile on his face, and hurriedly took out a bowl-sized jade bottle and a stack of blue paper from his arms, and handed it over with both hands raised high.

He looked a little nervous, and his eyes secretly glanced at the old man through the gap between his hands, as if observing the old man's expression.

Shen Luo glanced at the things in Yu Meng's hand casually, and his heart moved.

He was very familiar with the paper, which was the talisman paper used for drawing talismans.

It's just that this kind of blue talisman paper is thicker than the yellow paper he used, and it is obviously of a much higher grade.

The old man in the golden robe waved his hand, and the thing in Yu Meng's hand rose out of thin air. Under the pull of an invisible force, it crossed a distance of three or four feet and fell directly into the hands of the old man.

"Telekind!" Shen Luo's eyes widened a little, and he shouted secretly.

He had seen a description of this method of taking things from a distance through magic in a magazine in Chunqiuguan. He was yearning for it at the time, but he had never known whether it was true or not. Now that he had observed a real person performing it at such a close distance, he felt a little excited.

The old man did not look at the green talisman paper much, but he was quite concerned about the jade bottle. He pulled out the cork and looked inside.

Then he used the nail of his little finger to pick up a little bit of the red powder inside, smelled it, and finally tasted it with his tongue, and then he said "hmm" with satisfaction.

Yu Meng was relieved when he saw this.

"The cinnabar I bought this time is not bad. In the future, follow this standard. Don't get inferior goods again, otherwise I will see how I deal with you... Hmm, who are you?" The old man was halfway through his words when he noticed Shen Luo standing behind Yu Meng.

"Father, this is Brother Shen Luo, who fought against the wolves with me today on the city wall. He just arrived in the city and has not found a place to stay yet, so I invited him to stay at home. Brother Shen, this is my father Yu Yan, whom you have met during the day." Yu Meng introduced hurriedly.

"Shen Luo meets Uncle Yu." Shen Luo stepped forward and bowed respectfully.

Yu Yan glanced at Shen Luo, nodded casually, and put the talisman paper and jade bottle in his hands into his arms.

"Today on the city wall, I was fortunate to see my uncle and several immortal masters take action. It can be said that I have opened my eyes. Especially my uncle's talisman technique, which is amazingly powerful. I admire it very much." Shen Luo wanted to get closer to the immortal master in front of him. Seeing Yu Yan's cold expression, he changed his mind and brought the topic to talismans.

"Do you know the art of talismans?" As expected, when talking about talismans, Yu Yan's eyebrows moved and he took a look at the tattered Spring and Autumn Taoist robe on Shen Luo.

"I only know a little bit. I am dull and have not made any achievements in the way of talismans after years of practice. I can't compare with my uncle's supernatural powers." Shen Luo said with a bow.

"The art of talismans is different from other Taoist methods. It is obscure and boring. It takes a lot of time and hard work to achieve success. If you can really persist until now, this kind of mentality is rare." Yu Yan nodded slightly and glared at Yu Meng beside him while speaking.

Yu Meng scratched the back of his head and turned his eyes away with a guilty look.

Yu Yan snorted heavily when he saw this scene.

"Uncle, you are too kind. I was possessed by Yin Qi and couldn't find a cure for it. Fortunately, I was saved by a master with talismans. Since then, I have been yearning for the way of talismans and want to achieve something." Shen Luo saw the expressions of the two and said humbly.

"There are countless mediocre people in the world, most of whom are short-sighted and think that talismans are time-consuming, laborious and unpopular. How could they know that once the art of talismans is learned, the power of summoning gods and exorcising ghosts, suppressing demons and monsters is definitely better than most Taoist methods in the world." Yu Yan seemed to be aroused by Shen Luo's words and said angrily.

Shen Luo had only been in contact with talismans for a short time and knew nothing about the world of cultivation. At this moment, he was a little surprised when he heard about the status of talismans in the world of cultivation, but his face showed a hint of approval.

"The art of talismans emphasizes that diligence can make up for one's shortcomings. If you continue to work hard in the future, your future achievements will be limitless." Yu Yan vented his anger and quickly regained his composure. He patted Shen Luo on the shoulder and encouraged him.

"Yes, thank you uncle for your advice." Shen Luo nodded solemnly.

"Nephew Shen, you are going to stay at home tonight, right? You are at home when you come here, so don't be polite." Yu Yan laughed and changed his previous indifferent attitude.

"Meng'er, I still have some things to do. Please entertain nephew Shen on my behalf." Yu Yan said to Yu Meng.

"Yes, father, don't worry." Yu Meng hurriedly agreed.

Yu Yan turned and walked into the inner hall. Shen Luo and the others walked forward a few steps to see him off before stopping.

"Not bad, brother. You are the first one who can make my father so happy! You don't know that every time I bring some friends back, he doesn't even look at them!" As soon as Yu Yan left, Yu Meng immediately became as if he had been pardoned and recovered his previous vigor.

"I really admire my uncle's way of talismans, but I didn't expect that brother Yu is the son of an immortal master." Shen Luo said with a smile, thinking back to the various magical powers that Yu Yan and other immortal masters displayed on the city wall, he was quite envious.

There may be similar magical powers in Chunqiu Temple, but unfortunately he has poor qualifications and has barely entered the "Xiaohuayang Gong". Not to mention whether he is qualified to practice, he can't even get in touch with it.

"What's there to envy? Drawing talismans with a brush is so boring. I really can't do it. Swordplay and archery are more suitable for me." Yu Meng waved his hands.

"If that's the case, it's such a pity." Shen Luo shook his head and said.

"Okay, let's not talk about this. We are covered in blood and sweat. Let's change our clothes first." Yu Meng didn't seem to want to talk more about this matter. He waved his dirty sleeves and said to change the subject.

"When I was in panic earlier, I lost my baggage." Shen Luo looked at his clothes and frowned.

"It's just a few clothes. Let's wear mine first. No need to be polite." Yu Meng waved his hand and said without thinking.

The two came to the back room, Yu Meng went to take a bath, and Xiao Shunzi took Shen Luo to the next room, where a bathtub was already prepared, filled with hot water.

Xiao Shunzi held a leather bag, poured some light green liquid from it, and blended it into the bathtub. The water in the bucket quickly turned light green.

"This is the medicinal solution prepared by my master. Using it to bathe is very good for the body. This is what the young master ordered." Xiao Shunzi explained when he saw Shen Luo's face looking surprised.

"Thank you." Shen Luo said calmly, but he was amazed in his heart.

"Mr. Shen, there is currently only one maid in the mansion, Xiaohua, who is waiting for the young master to take a bath. If you need it, you can wait a moment. The young master will be very quick." Xiao Shunzi asked again.

"No need, I can do it myself." Shen Luo shook his head.

Xiao Shunzi agreed, put a set of clean clothes aside, and retreated.

Shen Luo took off his clothes and jumped into the tub. While scrubbing his body, he recalled what happened before in his mind.

Although the place where he dreamed this time was completely different from the mountain village where he dreamed for the first time, he always felt that the two seemed to be somewhat related in some places.

It's just that he hasn't figured out what the connection is specifically.

With these thoughts spinning in Shen Luo's mind, he kept moving his hands. He quickly washed and dried them and put on clean clothes.

He looked in the mirror and saw that he in the mirror had a fair complexion and a handsome appearance. He looked like a young man from a troubled world, with a bit more aura than he did in reality.

Not only that, the fatigue in Shen Luo's body seemed to be swept away, and his whole person felt refreshed.

He recalled the medicinal solution Xiao Shunzi poured into the water, and he felt a little clearer, then walked out of the house.
