Big dreamer

Just as Senior Brother Niu was about to speak, he heard a burst of footsteps not far outside the mountain gate, and a figure appeared there at some unknown time and was walking towards this side.

Everyone was surprised and looked over there, and Shen Luo was no exception.

I saw a young man dressed in spring and autumn costumes and a bamboo hat, stepping on the stone steps step by step, very regularly, towards the mountain gate.

The man has black hair and a somewhat thin figure. His face is mostly covered by a bamboo hat. The exposed half of his outline can still be seen as being handsome, with a vague air of being unworldly.

"Who is this?" someone beside him whispered.

"Why are you wearing the clothes of our Spring and Autumn Festival and looking so unfamiliar..." Another person also hesitated.

"Could it be him?" Shen Luo had a guess in his mind, but he didn't say it out loud.

"That's the ancient spirit, Junior Brother Gu." Senior Brother Niu had been guarding the mountain gate for many years, so he naturally recognized that person and gave the answer with a slight change in his expression.

"Ancient Transformation Spirit?"

Everyone, including Shen Luo, was surprised when they heard the name.

This is one of the three inner disciples as famous as Ding Hua and Bai Xiaotian. He is also the most mysterious among the disciples. It is said that he practices in seclusion all year round and rarely appears on the mountain.

His mentor was Uncle Wang, who was the same generation as Master Fengyang from Luo Taoism.

Shen Luo has been on the mountain for more than two years. Although he has never seen him, he has often heard Bai Xiaotian mention him. At least in Bai Xiaotian's eyes, this person deserves more attention than Ding Hua.

"There were rumors earlier that the temple had allowed him to go down the mountain alone to slay demons, but I didn't expect it to be true." An older disciple couldn't help but sigh in a low voice.

"Alone...Senior Brother Ding has never gone down the mountain alone, but he actually..." another disciple said.

Everyone was muttering quietly, and when they saw that the man had come closer, they all stopped talking and bowed respectfully:

"I've met Senior Brother Gu..."

"Junior Brother Gu..."

Gu Hualing stopped, lifted the bamboo hat on his head, revealing a face that made even women jealous, and slapped everyone on his head.

"You fellow disciples gathered at the mountain gate, maybe to welcome me, which makes me feel a little guilty." He had a gentle smile on his face, as if he was joking.

When everyone saw him, they were filled with awe and envy, as well as jealousy and shame, but no one responded for a while.

"Ahem... Junior Brother Gu walked down the mountain for the first time. How was the harvest?" Senior Brother Niu was a little familiar with him. After coughing lightly, he asked with a smile.

"Beheading a yellow rat that has just begun to regain consciousness is not a big gain." Gu Hualing patted the backpack on his back and said with a smile.

When the others heard this, they were all shocked. When they went down the mountain for the first time, they were not dealing with some sinister thing, but a sane spirit!

Shen Luo couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

"Junior Brother Gu is indeed brave, I admire him, I admire him." Senior Brother Niu praised him sincerely.

Only then did the others react, and they quickly started flattering you with glances and words.

"You are so complimentary, brothers and sisters. As long as you practice diligently and persevere no matter how fast or slow you progress, you will definitely be able to achieve something in the future. I still want to go back to Master to report on my itinerary, so I won't say more to you." Gu Hua Ling slightly bowed his hands towards the crowd, the etiquette was very thoughtful and appropriate.

Everyone felt flattered and quickly returned the favor.

Shen Luo also had to feel that Gu Hualing, who was also one of the three inner disciples, was indeed more favorable by these ordinary disciples than the unruly Bai Xiaotian and the high-minded Ding Hua.

Even though his figure had gone far away, everyone still felt like they were refreshed by the spring breeze, but when they came to their senses, Shen Luo had quietly left the mountain gate.

I have not left Spring and Autumn View for more than two years. Even if my mind is sinking, I can't help but feel a little free.

When he arrived in Tuji Town, he first went to Hongyun Tower and ordered a table of wine and food. After a hearty meal, he went to the market and spent twenty taels of silver on a strong, black-maned horse.

After preparing water and dry food for the road, he rode out of Tuji Town and kicked off the dust.

…

Dengping County has jurisdiction over more than ten counties, large and small. Among them, Chunhua County has a flat terrain and the most fertile farmland, so it is relatively wealthy. Tianping County, which is adjacent to it to the east, is affected by the terrain of Jiuliang Mountain and has less land and is the most barren. .

Songfan County, which borders Chunhua County to the west, has become a small transit point for water transportation because of a Luanshui River passing through it. The merchant trade is more prosperous than that in Chunhua County.

At this moment, in the famous Qinyang Restaurant in Songfan County, Shen Luo, wearing a blue gown, was sitting near the window on the second floor. Several exquisite side dishes were placed in front of him. Steaming.

It's just that he was on the road for three days in a row, and the road was bumpy. At this moment, he had no appetite. He picked up the chopsticks in one hand, put it down again, and finally grabbed the teacup on the side and took a sip of tea.

At this time, the busy shop assistant was passing by the table and was stopped by his "waiter".

The waiter put the towel on his shoulder and saw that the food on his table was basically untouched, so he inadvertently raised his eyebrows.

"Sir, what are your orders?" He leaned forward and said with a smile on his face.

"Excuse me, may I ask you something?" Shen Luo said.

"Your Majesty, just ask, I will definitely tell you everything I know." When the waiter heard that he was not being critical, his expression immediately relaxed and he smiled.

"Is there a ferry for the Luanshui River in Songfan County?" Shen Luo asked.

When the clerk heard this, his expression froze slightly, and then he smiled and said: "What you said is a heretic. There are three land and water docks in our Songfan County, and there must be more than ten ferries of various sizes. ”

"So many..." Shen Luo frowned slightly when he heard this.

This time he left Chunqiu Temple on the pretext of visiting relatives and went straight to Songfan County. What he was looking for was none other than the "Unknown Heavenly Book" discovered by Meng Zu in the Luanshui River.

If everything in the dream is true, then according to time calculation, this heavenly book has probably not been discovered by the ancestors of Yu and Meng, and it is very likely that it is still placed under a rocky beach in the Luanshui River.

The chance of Shen Luoxin getting the "Pure Yang Sword Jue" from the Spring and Autumn Temple is very slim, and the life-saving elixir is even rarer. Now, it is his last resort to look for this heavenly book that records the immortal magic and use it to find a glimmer of hope. of hope.

Even if he is unable to learn the above spells and techniques, he can still use this heavenly book and the Spring and Autumn Aspects to exchange for immortal jade or other elixirs that can replenish his vitality.

"Brother from the store, do you know that there is a family named Yu who makes a living by making ferry boats at these ferries?" Shen Luo thought for a while and asked again.
