Big dreamer

"Let's first see if there is a bridge nearby or other ways out."

Shen Luo murmured to himself, got off the black horse, tied it to a tree by the river, and then walked along the river on foot, looking both ways at the same time.

At this moment, the bright moon was in the sky, casting bursts of silver light. The surrounding light was pretty good. In addition, his eyesight had greatly improved, and he could see almost the same thing as in the daytime.

It's just that the river is winding and the trees on both sides are lush and green, blocking the view and making it difficult to see very far.

After Shen Luo pondered for a moment, he planned to go to the center of the river where he had a wide view, so he silently performed the water-stepping technique, his feet glowed with a layer of blue light, and he stepped on the river.

Two vortexes of water emerged under his feet, supporting his body.

The last time he performed the Water-Treading Technique was in a calm stream. This time he came to a fast-flowing river with undercurrents surging nearby. The Water-Treading Technique was originally practiced by beginners, but now that it was disturbed by external forces, it became even more inflexible. , his figure suddenly rose and fell with the waves of the river, swaying from side to side, as if he might fall into the river at any time.

He hurriedly and secretly worked his magic power into his feet to maintain the water-stepping technique. At the same time, he spread his hands flat and adjusted his body posture to balance the impact of the river water. After gradually adapting to the speed of the river water, his body gradually became stable.

"It seems that this water treading technique still needs to be practiced continuously in various rivers and rivers, especially to learn to adapt to maintaining balance in various complex water states, so that it can be used when needed in the future."

Shen Luo breathed a sigh of relief, and after gathering himself, he continued walking towards the center of the river.

"What a wonderful water-bending technique!"

At this moment, a clear voice suddenly came from a distance. It was not loud, but it drowned out the sound of the rolling waves around him, as if speaking in Shen Luo's ear.

Shen Luo had originally focused all his attention on performing the Water-Treading Technique, but when he heard this sound, his mind suddenly became confused.

The movement of mana in his body stagnated slightly, the aura of his feet suddenly dissipated, and he immediately fell into the river with a "plop".

He sank into the water and struggled for a while. He quickly squeezed the magic formula with his hands, and the surrounding river suddenly stirred, forming a spiral wave around him. A lifting force was generated from the bottom of his feet again, lifting him out of the water.

Drenched all over, he looked towards the shore where he had come from, and saw a tall young man appearing near the big tree where he tied his horse.

Under the illumination of the moonlight, the young man's sparse eyebrows are clearly visible, with two sword-shaped eyebrows flying into his temples, a pair of eyes as clear as stars, a nose as high as a mountain, and a thick smile on his lips.

The young man was wearing a round-collared robe, with half of a fish-scale armor extending from his right shoulder to his ribs. He also carried a simple sword with a long hilt on his back. He exuded a sense of prowess from head to toe. Qi.

"May I ask which master of Ruoshuimen is your inner disciple?" Before Shen Luo could say anything, the young man raised his fists and asked first.

"I wonder why Your Excellency said this?" Shen Luo frowned slightly and said.

At this time, of course, he was no longer the son of a merchant who had just joined the Spring and Autumn Temple two years ago. Naturally, he knew that given the vastness of the world, there must be more than one place for cultivation at the Spring and Autumn Temple. However, he had never had the opportunity to understand other immortal cultivating sects. I don’t know what weak Minato is.

"Oh, isn't it? I thought that in the entire Dengping County, only the inner disciples of the Ruoshui Sect could be so proficient in the water method. You are so young that you asked this question." The young man chose He raised his eyebrows and said with some confusion.

"Your Excellency seems to have misunderstood. I am just a casual cultivator, practicing randomly. There is no sect inheritance." Shen Luo's eyes flashed slightly and he said casually.

After saying that, he took off and walked towards the shore, intending to lead his horse away, and not intending to have too much contact with this unknown person.

"Since we are both cultivators, let's call each other Taoist friend for the time being. My next name is Lu Huaming. He is from Chang'an. How dare you call me friend?" When the young man saw Shen Luo coming ashore, he walked towards the black horse without looking back. Busy reporting on one's family background.

"My... Shen Jiacheng, a local. Since Lu Daoyou is from the capital of Gyeonggi, why would you come to this remote Songfan County?" Shen Luo hesitated for a moment, turned around and replied with a smile.

He was still somewhat wary of this stranger who suddenly appeared, and did not tell him his real name.

"It turns out to be fellow Taoist Shen. I came down to Pingcheng just to run errands and deliver a message. On the way back, I happened to see fellow Taoist practicing here. I couldn't help but be curious and came over to say hello. I hope fellow Taoist will not find it rude." Lu Huaming looked at Shen Luo. He looked wet and said slightly apologetically.

"No, it's because I'm not good at studying and made Fellow Daoist Lu laugh." Shen Luo saw that the other party's tone was sincere and his eyes were very bright, but he didn't look like a villain, so he also said with a smile.

"I'm so lucky to be able to witness the magical skill of water control with my own eyes today! I'm sorry to say that what Fellow Daoist Shen just performed was the water-treading technique in the water method, right?" Lu Huaming waved his hand hurriedly and asked again.

"Why, Fellow Daoist Lu has also done research on this?" Shen Luo asked, his eyebrows twitching.

"There is no research, but I have heard that this technique consumes very little mana, but can make the practitioner invincible on the water. It is very suitable for dealing with some aquatic monsters, which makes people envious." Lu Huaming laughed. He shook his head and said so.

"I am a casual cultivator who has little knowledge. I have always heard that there are monsters and monsters, but I have never seen them with my own eyes. Can fellow Taoist tell me something?" Shen Luo became curious after hearing this.

After he fell into the dream, he was deeply impressed by the invisible green wolf and the monster with a wolf head and body that he saw in Donglai County.

"There's actually nothing to say about monsters and ghosts. They are the same as us human beings who rely on absorbing the spiritual power of heaven and earth and adapting to the changes of yin and yang and the five elements to open up their spiritual wisdom and increase their magic power. But generally speaking, monsters and ghosts of the same level have The various innate magical powers are three points better than those of our human race. Of course, we human race cultivators also have various external aids such as talismans. In a real fight, it is hard to say who will win. In addition, Fellow Daoist Shen has something to say. I don’t know, the world today seems to be peaceful, and everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, but in fact, there are undercurrents and dangers everywhere! In our country of the Tang Dynasty, not only are monsters roaming around, but there are also ghosts and spirits that frequently cause trouble. Governments in various places are very concerned about this. It's already too much to deal with. Even half a year ago, the imperial court had clearly issued an edict and spent a lot of money to recruit some strange people to deal with this matter." Lu Huaming said calmly.

"This is happening!" Shen Luo was a little surprised.
