"Tell me first, where did you get this treasure?" asked the little master.
Shen Luo hesitated for a moment, and briefly told him the process of finding the jade pillow.
"It's so unremarkable? On this treasure, I saw traces of the passage of time. It was a trace of some kind of power based on rules. You actually dug it out from an unknown hill?" Listening to him The meaning in the words has the meaning of complaining about this treasure.
"City Lord, can you see the origin of this treasure?" Shen Luo asked.
"Yes." The little master nodded.
"Really?" Shen Luo asked in surprise.
"Isn't that simple? This treasure is an innate spiritual object, not artificially refined. Its origin is naturally raised, similar to that of the Lingming stone monkey." The little master said with a smile.
After Shen Luo heard it, he felt that it was a little unexpected, but also that it was reasonable.
"The material of this treasure is very special, and it may not be an easy task to restore it." The little master said.
"City Master, this jade pillow is not an ordinary thing, no matter what the cost, I will repair it." Shen Luo let out a long breath and said solemnly.
"I can see your determination, and I really want to help you. As far as I can think of, most of the materials needed for Tianji City can be found for you. Only the two most important treasures are Tianji City. There is no way to get it." The little master said in a deep voice.
"City owner, please tell me, I will find a way to find it myself." Shen Luo said.
"The first is the Nine Chi Beads of Qinxue hidden in the East Sea Dragon Palace, and the second is the Map of Mountains, Rivers and Sheji hidden in Fangcun Mountain." The little master said.
Hearing this, Shen Luo was overjoyed at first, then frowned again.
He still doesn't know what Qinxue Nine Chi Beads are, and he doesn't feel anything, but he knows very well that the Shanhe Sheji Map is a top-level fairy weapon in the Three Realms.
"To restore this jade pillow, is it necessary to refine the map of mountains, rivers and society? This..." Shen Luo was suddenly caught in a dilemma.
"Huh? Who told you to melt it? It's just to use the power of space in the map of Shanhe Sheji to fuse the three pillows with other materials. At most, it will damage a little vitality of the map of Shanhe Sheji and will not destroy this Treasure." The little master waved his hand.
Hearing this, Shen Luo smiled and said, "If that's the case, there's nothing wrong with it."
"Are you really sure to find these two treasures?" The little master asked with some doubts.
"No, but it's a matter of human cost. You, the city lord, have promised to help me repair the jade pillow, which is already half the battle." Shen Luo shook his head and said.
"Hey, not to mention that the map of mountains, rivers, and land is of great importance. Can you borrow it? That blood-soaked nine-chi bead is also the treasure of the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea. After the iron was handed over, they refused to take out the blood-soaked nine-chi bead. I don't know, where did you get the confidence?" The little master gave Shen Luo a white look, and said a little angrily.
"This... I will figure out a way for myself. As for other spiritual materials, the city lord will set a price, and I will definitely take them out even if I sell them." Shen Luo smiled awkwardly and said.
"Okay, Tianji City will help you collect the other materials. You don't need any rewards, but this will also take time. Even if you really get those two treasures, you may not be able to collect them all here. You have to be mentally prepared " said the little master.
"Understand."
After Shen Luo finished speaking, he looked at the young master and asked after a moment of hesitation: "City Master, your generosity to me in this matter is probably not only because of the little help that the younger generation did in the Black Abyss Mysterious Cave, right? "
"You are smart. The reason why I am willing to help you in this way is firstly because you have indeed helped Tianji City, and secondly because you are qualified and worthy of my help. Thirdly, it is also entrusted by others." The master smiled and said.
"May I ask the city lord, who entrusted him?" Shen Luo asked in surprise.
"This man is at the back hall now, go and see for yourself." The little master pointed to the back of the main hall and said.
Shen Luo came to the apse full of suspicion, and from a distance, he saw an old man in a snow-white robe with a scarlet sash around his waist, holding a snow-white dust whisk, standing in front of a wall painted with a scroll of thousands of machines.
Chapter 1321
"Senior Zhenyuan..." Shen Luo recognized the identity of the old man at a glance.
"Fusheng Wuliang Tianzun, Fellow Daoist Shen, long time no see. Congratulations on improving your cultivation." Zhen Yuanzi turned around and said with a smile.
Seeing this, Shen Luo immediately raised his palms, saluted respectfully, and then asked somewhat unexpectedly:
"Senior came to Tianji City in person, did he come here specially for the younger generation's affairs?"
"Before you helped save the ginseng fruit tree, Wuzhuang Temple hasn't properly thanked you yet, so what's the matter with the old man coming here in person? Besides, I haven't seen you for many years, so I can catch up with you." Zhen Yuanzi said.
"The junior once wrote to Chang'an government and Wuzhuang Temple to tell the experience of Shituoling. I don't know if the senior has received it? It was Shituoling who deliberately harmed the ginseng tree, and it was deliberately trying to provoke the government and Wuzhuang Temple. conflicts, so as to create confusion." Shen Luo thought of something and said hastily.
"I believe I've already read it, so I came to see you this time because I want to learn more about the situation in Shituoling." Zhen Yuanzi nodded and said.
Hearing this, Shen Luo couldn't help but frowned and pondered for a moment, then said: "The situation in Shituoling is a bit complicated, senior, please listen to this junior to explain in detail..."
Shen Luo bit by bit, told Zhen Yuanzi in detail what happened in Shituoling earlier.
"I have known for a long time that these demons harbor evil intentions, and the so-called peaceful retreat is nothing more than a stopgap measure." Zhen Yuanzi mused.
"Senior, in fact, this junior thinks that the current situation in the Three Realms is even more dangerous. This time in the Mysterious Cave of the Black Abyss, this junior also met Mo Xin, the deputy head of the Demon King's Village, that guy..." Then, Shen Luo will be in the black abyss again this time. He also told Zhen Yuanzi exactly what happened when he encountered the Demon Heart and the blood-colored bone staff in Yuanmy Cave.
"Frankly speaking, this junior has always felt that the tribulations of the Three Realms have not really ended." Finally, Shen Luo sighed.
"It's not just you, the old man is also deeply distressed. The demons have been fighting in the Three Realms for a long time. Even without Chi You as the leader, they have been fighting all these years. How can they just let go?" Zhen Yuanzi said. .
"In my opinion, they are just trying to avoid the edge for the time being, and they have turned the fight into a secret fight. We don't know what their plan is at the moment. We are in the open, while the enemy is in the dark, which is not good for us." Shen Luo continued Said.
"That's true, but it's a pity that the Three Realms have been shrouded in the shadow of evil troubles for too long, and now they are caught in the joy that the evil catastrophe has disappeared. , There are too many self-defeating guys." Zhen Yuanzi said.
"If this continues, the Three Realms will be in danger." Shen Luo sighed.
"Actually, there are not no sober people. It's just that most of them have ghosts in their hearts. They want to take advantage of the weak situation of the demons to try to practice magical powers and master magic weapons. Using sideways methods to quickly improve their strength, So as to compete with all walks of life. As everyone knows, although the magic arts are progressing rapidly, and the power of magic weapons is powerful, but for the human race and the fairy race, it is a crooked way and a wrong path. Once you step on the wrong footsteps, you may be lost forever. Zizi said slowly, but his eyes met with Shen Luo's.
Shen Luo's body shook suddenly, and he immediately understood that the Great Immortal Zhenyuan had already noticed that there were several magic weapons hidden on his body, and what he said earlier was more to alert him.
"What the senior said, the junior understands. It's just that the junior's current situation is somewhat unique, but the teaching of the senior, the junior will naturally not forget it." Shen Luo clasped his fists and said.
"It's good that you know it in your heart, and the old man won't say too much. About the demons, you can send a letter to Wuzhuang Temple in the future. If you are in danger, you can use this jade to contact me, no matter how far apart. , the old man will also receive the message and come to help you."
When Zhen Yuanzi's voice fell, a crescent-shaped cyan jade ring flew up and landed in front of Shen Luo.
"Thank you, senior." After accepting it, Shen Luo clasped his fists in thanks.
Zhen Yuanzi nodded, turned and left...
A few days later, Shen Luo and Fu Donglai didn't stay long, and after saying goodbye to the young master, they left Tianji City.
When the two came outside the city, Shen Luo asked: "Brother Fu, accompany me this trip to Tianji City, I've suffered enough, what's your plan next? Go back to the Tang government?"
Fu Donglai thought about it for a moment, then shook his head.
"I won't go back to the government, just stay there, deal with official documents every day, and read travel notes in my spare time. It's relaxing and comfortable, but this period of time has also made me see myself clearly. My cultivation base is too weak. It will be a burden wherever I go. Afterwards, I have already made up my mind that I will join the Fangcun Mountain Gate." Fu Donglai said seriously.
"Why did you invest in Fangcun Mountain Gate?" Shen Luo asked in surprise.
"Fangcun Mountain should be the only one in the Three Realms, except for the Demon Sect, which can accept my Demon Sect." Fu Donglai said with a wry smile.
"That's right. Patriarch Bodhi has always advocated education without discrimination, and never cared about origin and race when accepting disciples. The Great Sage Equaling Heaven practiced here." Shen Luo said slowly.
"And you, where are you going next?" Fu Donglai asked.
"Fang Cun Shan." Shen Luo waved his big hand forward and said loudly.
Fu Donglai held back for a while, before saying: "Brother Shen, you don't have to accompany me this trip."
"You think too much... I want to restore a treasure. Two important materials are needed. One is in the East China Sea Dragon Palace, and the other is in Fangcun Mountain. I originally wanted to go to the Dragon Palace first, but you happen to be going to Fangcun Mountain If so, we will be together." Shen Luo smiled and said.
There is one thing that Shen Luo didn't say, that is, he also wanted to see what the undestroyed Fangcun Mountain looked like?
……
A few months later, Xiniu Hezhou.
On the official road outside Songshan County, Qiaoxian County, two lights fell from the sky, and two dusty figures appeared.
One of them was wearing a moon-white robe, and his appearance was quite delicate, while the other was a tall man with a tiger's head, so naturally it was Shen Luo and Fu Donglai.
"Brother Chen, can we really get what we want this trip?" Fu Donglai asked worriedly.
"Although Fangcunshan is a human sect, it never discriminates against other races. It also recruits the children of immortals and demons, so it is not difficult for you to join the mountain gate..." Shen Luo stopped in the middle of his sentence.
"Then borrowing the map of Shanhe Sheji..." Fu Donglai hesitated.
"I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve. This thing is not an ordinary magic weapon, but a treasure that concerns the safety of the Three Realms. Fang Cunshan probably won't lend it out." Shen Luo sighed and said.
"I also heard from Master before... I heard from him that the map of Shanhe Sheji was originally used to suppress Chi You. In order to ensure the safety of this thing, at that time, the two races of humans and immortals made a battle between Zhenyuan Daxian and Bodhi Patriarch. In the end, the object was placed in Fangcun Mountain and handed over to Patriarch Bodhi for safekeeping. Later, after the evil troubles were lifted, many immortals and Buddhas in the heavenly court were moved, hoping that Patriarch Bodhi would hand over the object for joint management by the heavenly court and Buddhism. But he was flatly rejected by Patriarch Bodhi." Fu Donglai talked eloquently.
Chapter 1322 Graffiti Map
"When there is a risk, they will pass it on, and when there is no risk, they want to take advantage. These immortals and Buddhas do this, it is really a little fairy-like." Shen Luo smiled and teased.
However, he didn't think there was anything strange about it.
After all, the interest disputes involved here are not so simple to explain clearly.
Moreover, he also believed that the reason why Patriarch Bodhi refused must have his own reasons.
"Only based on teaching without discrimination, regardless of race, I believe that Patriarch Bodhi is not an ordinary person, so there is still a chance to try his luck." Shen Luo said with a smile.
He had never really met Patriarch Bodhi, but his perception of this great power could not have been better.
"Speaking of this matter, in fact, the Three Realms have criticized the Bodhi Patriarch's practice of recruiting disciples regardless of race, and there are even harsh words, saying that he is hiding selfishness and trying to support the power of the three races for his own use. , has the ambition to dominate the Three Realms." Fu Donglai continued.
"It's all nonsense, don't take it seriously at all. Patriarch Bodhi accepts disciples from all ethnic groups, and even cares a lot about the flowers and plants. It didn't start when the Three Realms were stable, but under the oppression of demons. Change the policy. At that time, his disciples were all working hard for the peace of the Three Realms. Among them, Monkey King, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, is a good example?" Shen Luo said with a snort.
"People's hearts and ghosts are the most unbearable to be bewitched. If there are too many such sayings, they will have an impact." Fu Donglai sighed.
While the two were talking, they had already walked into Songshan County.
The city is quite bustling and lively, although the streets are not busy with traffic, there are quite a few pedestrians coming and going.
Shen Luo's combination of one person and one demon was quite conspicuous, and many people looked sideways at him as soon as he entered the city.
However, most people just glanced at them and didn't stare at the two of them all the time. It seemed that they were not surprised that the demons appeared in this small county, and they were already used to it.
At this moment, a childish boy trotted up to the two of Shen Luo, looked up at them, and asked:
"Are you also here to learn from Fangcun Mountain?"
Shen Luo and the two were taken aback by his question, and forgot to answer for a while.
"I think it is. Almost eight out of ten people who come to us at this time of year are rushing to join the old fairy gate of Fangcun Mountain. You two don't look like any powerful guys. You must You're here to learn your skills, right?" Seeing that the two of them were silent, Xiaotong said to himself.
"I said we just happened to pass by, believe it or not?" Shen Luo smiled and asked, leaning over.
"I don't believe it...you really didn't come to ask the gods to visit the immortals?" Xiaotong shook his head first, then asked with some uncertainty.
"If we are here to apprentice, what are you going to do?" Shen Luo continued to ask.
"If you really want to find the old gods of Fangcun Mountain, then some of you will find them. The old forest at the bottom of the mountain is an enchantment formation. Keep you in touch with the ghosts and hit the wall. If you walk around for half a month, you can come out." Not bad." Hearing this, the little boy said with a happy smile.
"So powerful?" Shen Luo pretended to be surprised.
"That's right, there was a young man from a rich family who broke in, and ended up being trapped inside for decades, and when he came out, his hair and beard were all white." Seeing that he had bluffed the two of them, Xiaotong said triumphantly.
"When you tell us this, don't you mean that you can lead us out of the old forest and find the old fairy in Fangcun Mountain?" Shen Luo raised his eyebrows and asked.
"I'm short and my legs are slow. I can't take you in there. But I have a map passed down by my ancestors. As long as you have this map, you will be able to find the fairy cave." The boy said quickly.
While speaking, Shen Luo could not help frowning slightly. He kept his head still, but his eyes shifted slightly to the right. Sure enough, he found a few people gathered in the back right, looking towards them.
Just when he was about to withdraw his gaze, another probing gaze came from the other side, which was mixed with some probing mana fluctuations.
"Do you want it? The quantity is limited. If you don't want it, I'll sell it to someone else." Seeing that Shen Luo didn't speak, the boy urged him again.
"Little brother, I don't even know if your picture is real or not, can you let me have a look before making a decision?" Shen Luo withdrew his attention and asked with a smile.
"How can I do that? You guys are all amazing. You can memorize the pictures just by taking a glance at them. Who am I going to sell them to? I've suffered more than once from this loss." The boy's eyes widened. road.
"It's a chicken thief, so how much is your map?" Shen Luo asked.
The little boy thought for a while and said, "One tael of silver."
"It's not expensive." Shen Luo smiled, took out a tael of silver, and handed it to Xiao Tong.
A smile suddenly appeared on the boy's face, and he quickly reached out to pick it up.
Shen Luo suddenly clenched his open palms, lowered his body, and asked in a low voice, "Are there a lot of strangers in the county recently?"
"It's a lot more than before. In fact, it's still a long time before Fangcunshan recruits outer disciples. Normally, there shouldn't be so many people now." Xiao Tong's smile froze, and he hesitated for a moment before answering.
Shen Luo thought secretly in his heart, smiled and gave the money to Xiao Tong.
The little boy took the silver in surprise, took out a piece of yellowed toilet paper from his arms and handed it to Shen Luo, then turned around and ran away.
After running for a dozen steps, the boy suddenly turned around and shouted: "By the way, don't go to the place circled in red, it will be dangerous for strangers to approach there..."
Shen Luo smiled, and opened the straw paper given by the boy.
After a glance, he was stunned, and Fu Donglai who was next to him was also stunned.
What kind of map is this? It is clearly a child's random graffiti. The location of the county seat and Fangcun Mountain is hastily marked on it, and the middle is connected by a twisted red line.
The line deliberately bypassed an area surrounded by a red line halfway, presumably it is the "dangerous" place that the child said.
