Big dreamer

"No matter what, I have accepted the mission to find out the news about Drill Head Mountain. Let's go find the Jade Fox clan first. But before that, we still have to learn the white crane shape-shifting technique." After a long while, Shen Luo murmured. Said to himself.

After saying that, he turned over his hand and took out the jade slip, put his spiritual consciousness into it, and examined it carefully.

After discovering that there was nothing particularly puzzling, he held his breath and concentrated, while reciting the magic formula orally, he simultaneously activated the power of his spiritual consciousness and magic power according to the method recorded in the jade slip.

The art of change is different from illusion. It is not a false move to deceive others, but a real change of body shape, essence, breath and soul. Therefore, it requires the perfect cooperation of the power of soul, mana, breath and physical body.

This should have been a very difficult task, but Shen Luo himself has the body of a true immortal, his magic power is sufficient, and the power of his soul is not weak. In addition, he has practiced the "Huang Ting Jing" technique, so it is unusual to practice it. smoothly.

But half an hour later, Shen Luo stood up from where he was, spreading his arms to the left and right, shaking up and down like a bird's wings, softly chanting the transformation spell in his mouth, and then took a deep breath.

His figure suddenly became lighter, and snow-white feathers sprouted from his arms. His figure quickly shrank and changed, directly transforming into a graceful red-crowned crane with bright feathers.

He raised his feet and took a step forward, but he only felt that his steps were floaty and a little unsteady, and he couldn't help waving his hands, and he trotted forward. .

Born as a human, Shen Luo had never paid attention to how birds soared into the air. When he used to fly, he used magic to get into the air. Now he suddenly transformed into a white crane. For a moment, he didn't know how to soar.

After running and spreading his wings several times, he finally flapped his wings and flew high into the sky.

Shen Luo's figure soared high in the sky and clouds, looking down at the earth, he could see his own figure reflected on the water of the stream.

At first, because he was not used to it, his wings were waving too much, his legs were not stretched back, and his posture looked a bit weird. However, after flying for half a quarter of an hour, after his continuous adjustments, he became like a real white crane. Nothing different.

After he found the direction of Jilei Mountain, he did not transform into a human body again. He just spread his wings and flew towards that direction.

While passing through a mountain forest on the way, Shen Luo suddenly felt a loud roar of wind behind him. Looking at the ground, he also saw a huge shadow covering his figure, and he immediately understood what was happening.

He turned his body hurriedly, and two shiny black hooks slid close to his chest. A gray-black figure immediately passed by, sank slightly, and flew up again. , hovering in the high air, and then swept towards him.

"Peregrine Falcon..."

Shen Luo's pupils narrowed slightly, and he glanced downwards. His body quickly swept down, piercing downwards like a javelin, and rushed into the dense forest.

The peregrine falcon swooped down in pursuit and also fell into the dense forest.

But when its figure entered the forest, a water arrow suddenly shot out from below, grazed its wings and shot high into the sky, knocking off several feathers on its wings in an instant.

The peregrine falcon was frightened and immediately flew out of the forest, straight into the sky, spreading its wings into the distance.

After a while, Shen Luo's figure flew out of the dense forest and flew towards Ji Lei Mountain with a bit of a smile on his face. Although he was suddenly attacked by a peregrine falcon on the way, it was enough to prove that this white crane The art of transformation is indeed unique.

After flying for hundreds of miles, Shen Suo finally arrived near Jilei Mountain near dusk.

Dozens of miles away, Shen Luo saw a majestic blue-black mountain. He did not rush into the mountain, but followed a place outside the mountain where lights were dimly visible and flew down.

After landing, Shen Luo discovered that there was a dilapidated town at the foot of the mountain.

There are many black basalt rocks in Jilei Mountain, probably because of the mountain. Most of the houses in this dilapidated town are built with black stones. Outside the gate entering the town, there is a stone gate with three inscriptions engraved on it. The large painted characters "Caishi Town" are no longer there.

Shen Luo suppressed his breath, picked up a moss-covered stick from the roadside, wiped the dew stains on it on his clothes, and then limped forward with the stick in his hand. Walking towards the town.

Judging from the size of the town and the condition of the houses, this quarrying town must have been prosperous in the past. There are still stones as tall as a person piled up in front of many doors, covered with a thick layer of sand and moss. It has obviously become It hasn't been moved for a long time.

Many houses on both sides have also collapsed, and there are dilapidated and desolate scenes everywhere.

Shen Luo walked inward for a long time before finally seeing the lights he saw in the sky. It was the largest and most majestic courtyard in the center of the town.

To say that it is grand is just to compare with the surrounding houses. In fact, it only has three courtyards. The front and back two courtyards are still intact. Only the houses in the center have all collapsed.

And that yellow light was reflected from the last courtyard.

Shen Luo walked to the front yard, held the copper ring on the door with his hand, and knocked a few times, but there was no response.

"anyone there?"

Shen Luo opened his mouth to shout, but it seemed as if he had been on the road for a long time and had no strength, so his voice sounded timid.

No one in the yard answered.

Shen Luo increased his strength and patted the brass ring on the door. Unexpectedly, the door creaked and opened by itself.

He frowned slightly, looked in through the crack in the door, shouted "Is there anyone there" again, then opened the door and walked into the courtyard.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he heard the sound of hurried footsteps. A middle-aged man with a sallow complexion and sunken eyes ran out of the ruins of the central courtyard with a hurried look.

As soon as he saw the dirty young man coming in, a look of disgust suddenly flashed across the middle-aged man's face, and he yelled:

"Where did this unlucky guy come from? Why is he wandering around so hard to die?"

"My family was in trouble, and I fled all the way here. I haven't eaten a grain of rice for several days, and I am really hungry. Seeing that there are still lights in the courtyard, I want to come in and see if I can get some food." Shen Luo sighed, feeling weak. road.

"You still want to beg for food at this time of year, are you crazy? Why don't you get out of here..." The middle-aged man said angrily with a dark look in his sunken eye sockets.

"Uncle, you..."

Seeing Shen Luo still arguing, the man became even more furious. He picked up a piece of rubble from the ground and wanted to throw it at Shen Luo.

"Stop..." At this time, a clear voice called him.

Shen Luo tilted his body, looked around the middle-aged man, looked behind him, and saw a young man in black robes, with a face as pale as paper, walking towards this side.
