Although this trip to the Western Regions has gone through many hardships, it is not a small gain to be able to get rid of one reincarnated demon soul. If we can find the other four demon souls and eliminate them, it is still unknown whether the demon catastrophe can be stopped.

And this time in the dream, he had already learned another clue of the demon soul.

Shen Luo looked down at his wrist, and closed his eyes again after a while.

……

The white flying boat traveled all the way through the clouds and across the moon, and soon returned to the border of the Tang Dynasty, and returned to Chang'an City.

Both Yuan Tiangang and Cheng Yaojin attached great importance to Chan'er's westward journey. Hearing that the three had returned, they immediately summoned them in the main hall of the Duke's Mansion.

Elder Zhe Shi has been waiting in Chang'an City, and rushed over after hearing the news.

"...The matter is probably like this." Bai Xiaotian explained to the three of them what he had experienced along the way.

"In this way, the demons have already started to break through the seal. I have heard of the name of Master Linda, but I didn't expect it to be a member of the demon way." Cheng Yaojin sighed.

"This is the corpse of Zhanguo. We brought it back together. The national teacher and the Duke have advanced cultivation, so they should be able to see something." Chan'er raised his hand, and Zhanguo's corpse appeared on the ground in front of him. superior.

Yuan Tiangang sized up Zhanguo's corpse, frowned, and waved the whisk, which became longer in the wind, as if a white horse rolled Zhanguo's corpse.

"Everything is finished, and this corpse is also delivered. I still have some things to do, so I'm sorry." Chan'er bowed to the two of them, and suddenly said goodbye.

"Master Jinchan, please help yourself." Cheng Yaojin was a little surprised and nodded.

Chan'er and Elder Zhe Shi walked out, and their figures disappeared quickly.

Shen Luo looked at Chan'er's back, and felt that since recovering part of Jin Chan's memory, his whole person had changed, and he didn't talk to them much along the way.

He left suddenly, what was he going to do?

Yuan Tiangang and Cheng Yaojin stared at Zhanguo's body, and their expressions soon became solemn.

"This... the national teacher, could it be?" Cheng Yaojin looked at Yuan Tiangang.

"That's right, this person is one of the reincarnations of the demon clan. If he doesn't reveal his true body, even I won't be able to see his true identity." Yuan Tiangang said with a sigh, twitching his fingers.

"Yuan Guoshi, you can't see through it either. Doesn't that mean that anyone around us may be the reincarnation of the demon race?" Although Bai Xiaotian knew that Zhan Guo might be the reincarnation of the demon race on the way, after hearing Yuan Tiangang's words, he was still surprised.

"That's not true. This method of reincarnation has to be hidden from the underworld, and the cost is very high. The number of people who can be reincarnated must not be many. According to my estimation, there should be no more than ten people." Yuan Tiangang said.

Bai Xiaotian breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words.

"Having said that, since the demons have mastered this method of reincarnation, they must have already used it. They need to find those reincarnations immediately, otherwise there will be great troubles in the future." Cheng Yaojin said.

"Cheng Guogong is right." Yuan Tiangang nodded slowly.

"Yuan Guoshi, Cheng Guogong, I have something to tell the two of you. Long before the ghost trouble in Chang'an, I once met an old fortune teller in Chang'an City. I heard some things from him, but it was related to the reincarnation of the demons. It's just true and false. Unknown." Shen Luo pondered for a moment, stepped forward and said.

"Oh, what did the man say, tell me quickly!" Cheng Yaojin said immediately.

Shen Luo told about the reincarnation of Chi You's five-wisp soul, but the source of the news was changed to the old fortune-teller.

Although his news sounded extremely untrue, the expressions of Yuan Tiangang and Cheng Yaojin changed again and again.

The reincarnation of ordinary demons has already shocked them, let alone Chi You's split soul.

"What does the fortune teller look like?" Cheng Yaojin asked.

"The man is not tall, he is wearing an old Taoist robe, three long beards, and his facial features are quite strange." Shen Luo casually described an appearance.

"It's easy to change your appearance. It doesn't make much sense to ask this. What else did that person say?" Yuan Tiangang asked, his eyes sharper than ever.

"He also said that he has investigated the reincarnation of two demon souls. One of them is in Chang'an, a woman with a plum blossom mark on her wrist." Shen Luo was afraid to look at Yuan Tiangang, and lowered his head.

"It was because of this that you asked me to look for a woman with a plum blossom mark on her wrist." Cheng Yaojin was stunned.

"Yes, I was originally skeptical, but considering that this matter is related to the common people in the world, I would rather believe it or not, so I asked Cheng Guogong to help me pay attention." Shen Luo said.

"This matter is important. Little friend Shen did the right thing. I will ask the people in the palace to help find it later. What about the reincarnation of another demon soul?" Yuan Tiangang said.

"According to that person, the other is in the Western Regions, a crazy monk." Shen Luo continued.

"Crazy monk? Isn't Zhan Guo just a crazy monk?" Bai Xiaotian's expression changed, and he lost his voice.

Chapter 0788 Xian Xing

"Exactly, I didn't believe the old man's words at first, but during this trip to the Western Regions, I encountered this fruit and experienced a series of things, which made me think that the fortune-telling old man's words may not be made up." Shen Luo Glancing at Yuan Tiangang and Cheng Yaojin, he said softly.

"This matter is of great importance. Regardless of whether it is a coincidence or not, it must be taken seriously. Cheng Guogong, please report this matter to His Majesty later." Yuan Tiangang was silent for a moment, and said to Cheng Yaojin.

"Okay." Cheng Yaojin nodded in agreement.

"Cheng Guogong, before I go down, please look for the person with the plum blossom mark on his wrist, do you have any clues?" Shen Luo looked at Cheng Yaojin, and interjected.

"Chang'an City has a population of over one million. It's really troublesome to find the plum blossom mark on the wrist alone, and I don't have any clue yet." Cheng Yaojin frowned and shook his head.

"Regarding this, I suddenly thought of something when I was in the Western Regions. During the battle with the Dragon King of Jinghe in the underworld, I had contact with Ma Xiuxiu, the daughter of the Dragon King of Jinghe. There seemed to be a scar in the shape of a plum blossom on her wrist." Shen Luo said.

"Really?" Cheng Yaojin's eyes froze.

"It should be right. I always thought the plum blossom mark was something like a tattoo. This time I saw a person with a scar in Chigu City, and realized that scars are also possible. That's why I remembered that Ma Xiuxiu." Shen Luo said.

Cheng Yaojin looked at Yuan Tiangang, Yuan Tiangang narrowed his eyes slightly, and then nodded slowly.

"Since that Ma Xiuxiu is suspicious, I will immediately send someone to investigate her whereabouts." Cheng Yaojin nodded heavily.

"You have worked hard all the way, go down and rest first, just leave the Zhanguo corpse here, and leave the rest to us to deal with." Yuan Tiangang said with a wave of his whisk.

"Master Yuan, please wait a moment. Is there anything else I would like to ask you for help?" Bai Xiaotian said suddenly.

"Oh, what is it?" Cheng Yaojin looked over.

"It's not my business, but Fellow Daoist Shen. He used to resist Zhanguo..." Bai Xiaotian glanced at Shen Luo, and told him to use the secret technique of reducing lifespan during the battle, and to take the star anise lotus leaf. I roughly said that Hou Shouyuan could not increase.

As soon as Cheng Yaojin heard this, he immediately flew over, raised his hand to grab Shen Luo's wrist, a huge warm current poured in, and circulated in his body extremely quickly.

"Nonsense! Your meridian is fine on the outside, but inside it seems to be shrinking, and your life energy is mixed and impure. You have performed this secret technique that depletes your life many times, and then used life-enhancing treasures to make up for it, right? "Cheng Yaojin stared at Shen Luo with amazement and shouted in a deep voice.

Shen Luo nodded silently.

"Natural vitality is the foundation of life. How can you use it at will? Although those life-enhancing substances can increase your lifespan, they will also consume your life potential. If you take other life-extending substances, the effect will become worse and worse. , how can you be so nonsense!" Cheng Yaojin showed an expression of anger but regret.

Shen Luo secretly took too many life-extending substances, and it was indeed harmful.

"Then brother Shen, can this situation be cured?" Bai Xiaotian asked with an anxious expression.

Shen Luo also looked at Cheng Yaojin, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

Cheng Yaojin frowned and pondered for a long time, then shook his head helplessly: "Little friend Shen has caused too much damage to his natal vitality this time, and I can't think of any way to recover it."

Shen Luo's heart twitched violently, and his complexion instantly turned pale.

He worked hard in his dream and outside his dream, almost paid double the price of others, experienced dangers that ordinary monks could not imagine, and finally achieved some achievements now, but ended up in this end.

If Shouyuan only has three or four years left, what's the point of being strong?

"What are you in a hurry for? I have no choice. Isn't there still Yuan Guoshi here? Guoshi, do you have a solution?" Cheng Yaojin saw that Shen Luo and Bai Xiaotian looked ugly, and asked Yuan Tiangang with a word of relief.

Yuan Tiangang walked over, waved the dust whisk in his hand, a white light enveloped Shen Luo's body, flowed slowly, and disappeared in a flash after a while.

"Shen Xiaoyou's injuries are really difficult to recover, but... there is no way out." He pondered for a while and said.

"Really? Ask Yuan Guoshi to enlighten me!" Shen Luo heard the words, his extremely pale complexion recovered a little, and he bowed.

"Little friend Shen, you don't need to be so courteous. You have been seriously injured this time for the sake of the common people in the world. We should help you." Yuan Tiangang raised his palm and returned the gift.

"To heal your internal injury, you need to complete two things. The first thing is to practice "Shenmu Enze". This exercise is a secret from my teacher. It can absorb the power of the essence of plants, nourish the body, and heal the injury. And practicing to a high level can purify the vitality of life, get rid of the bad and keep the essence, which is just suitable for recuperating your current situation." Yuan Tiangang paused and continued.

Although Shen Luo had never heard of the title of "Shenmu Enze", the skill that Yuan Tiangang admired so much must be no small matter.

"What about the second thing?" He suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked.

"Shenmu Enze can only regulate your natal vitality, but cannot restore it to a normal state. If you want to heal your body, you still need external help. It's just that you have taken too many life-extending substances, and ordinary life-enhancing spiritual substances have already Not enough, I thought about it, only the fairy apricot from Mount Putuo is useful for your injuries, this thing is in line with the attributes of the divine tree's grace, and it is easier to refine." Yuan Tiangang said slowly.

"Fairy apricot?" Shen Luo was startled, and the jade slip in the dream appeared in his mind, on which there was a record about the fairy apricot in Mount Putuo.

According to the Jade Slips, Mount Putuo has three innate spiritual roots, the Ten Thousand Years Immortal Apricot Tree, which is said to have originated from the heavens and has unimaginable effects.

Regarding the efficacy of fairy apricot, the jade slip did not go into details for some reason, but instead recorded some unreliable rumors. Some people said that eating a fairy apricot can increase one's practice for a thousand years, and others said that it can increase one's lifespan by a thousand years , There are even rumors that one can ascend in daylight after eating one.

"Putuo Mountain Immortal Apricot? That's right, only this kind of fairy world thing can heal his injury. National Teacher, do you want him to participate in this Immortal Apricot Conference?" Cheng Yaojin on the side interjected.

"The Fairy Apricot Conference?" Shen Luo was startled, he had never heard of it.

"The fairy apricot of Mount Putuo is a famous fairy fruit in the world of cultivating immortals. It can be taken directly or used to refine elixirs. It has excellent effects and is dreamed of by all the sects in the world of cultivating immortals. It's just that the yield of this fairy apricot is extremely low. Every few hundred Only a few can be produced in a year. In order to avoid unnecessary fights caused by fairy apricots, Putuo Mountain will hold a fairy apricot meeting every time the fairy apricots mature, so that young talents from all walks of life in the world will gather together to make friends with martial arts and decide to make immortals. Apricot's ownership." Yuan Tiangang explained.

"Isn't that why there is a meeting every few hundred years? How can Brother Shen afford to wait?" Before Shen Luo could speak, Bai Xiaotian had already opened his mouth.

Chapter 0789 One Year Period

"Hehe, it's a coincidence that the next Fairy Apricot Conference will be held in a year. In the name of the Tang government, I can recommend Shen Xiaozi to participate in this conference. As for whether you can get a fairy apricot, it depends on It depends on your own ability." Yuan Tiangang waved his hand and continued.

After hearing this, Bai Xiaotian couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.

Shen Luo also felt relieved. With his current cultivation base and a few treasures on his body, even monks in the Mahayana period could resist him. He really didn't care about the younger generation of various sects.

"Thank you Yuan Guoshi for fighting for this opportunity for me." Shen Luo cupped his hands and said.

"Little friend Shen, every sect will send the strongest disciples to the Fairy Apricot Conference. Don't think about your strength and be careless." Cheng Yaojin reminded.

"Thank you Cheng Guogong for reminding me, I will definitely do my best." Shen Luo raised his eyebrows and nodded.

"There is still one year before the Fairy Apricot Conference, you should first comprehend the grace of this sacred tree." Yuan Tiangang flicked his fingers, and a green light flew over, but it was a green jade slip.

Shen Luo reached out to catch it, and thanked again.

"Okay, you all go down." Yuan Tiangang waved his hand.

Shen Luo and Bai Xiaotian saluted and retreated.

"How true is what Shen boy said this time?" After the two left, Cheng Yaojin asked.

"Most of them are true. It's just that when telling the source of the news, the spirit fluctuates a lot, so it should be fabricated." Yuan Tiangang said lightly.

"This kid is still so cunning." Cheng Yaojin scolded with a smile.

"Maybe it's to cover up some of his secrets. These are understandable, as long as he doesn't go astray." Yuan Tiangang also showed a smile.

"The matter of the five reincarnated demon souls should be reported to the Heavenly Court. They are the only ones who can fight against Chi You. Our strength is still too weak." Cheng Yaojin suggested.

"Alright." Yuan Tiangang seemed a little reluctant, but finally nodded in agreement.

……

"Brother Shen, let's just retreat and study the exercises carefully. I have to report to the teacher about the situation along the way, so I will leave first." Bai Xiaotian walked out of the hall, talked to Shen Luo, and turned to leave.

"Brother Bai, wait a minute." Shen Luo hurriedly said.

"Brother Shen, is there anything else to do?" Bai Xiaotian turned around.

"It's nothing serious. I found two top-quality sun stones in the treasure room of the Holy Lotus Fatan Temple and refined them into two jade pendants. I want to trouble Brother Bai to use the secular power of the Bai family to send them to Chunhua County. Give it to my father." Shen Luo took out two blood-red jade pendants.

The two sun stones shrank a lot after being refined by him, but the aura they emitted was more pure and thick.

"Brother Shen's filial piety is commendable, don't worry, I will definitely deliver it!" Bai Xiaotian said, patting his chest.

Shen Luo watched Bai Xiaotian go away and sighed.

Now that he is involved in the battle with the demons, he is even more afraid to go home. If the demons find out the whereabouts of his hometown, the Shen family will face disaster.

Shen Luo turned around and returned to the previous residence, sat cross-legged in the room, his consciousness submerged in the green jade slip.

The jade slips are densely packed with small characters, written very neatly, recording the secret technique of the divine tree's grace.

Shen Luo recited word by word, Shenmu Enze's formula was quite obscure, and it felt more simple. The words and sentences above were very different from the current exercises, which seemed to be the exercises passed down from ancient times.

It would be difficult for ordinary monks to comprehend this technique, but Shen Luo has seen many exercises in reality and dreams, and has a wealth of experience, so he will soon complete the comprehension of this divine tree grace.

According to the formula of Shenmu Enze, he practiced this exercise silently.

Shen Luo has never practiced wood-type techniques, but Yimu Immortal Dungeon is the art of wood escape, and he has practiced this art of escape to the deepest point. With this experience, Shenmu Enze will soon be able to get started.

Green light quickly emerged from all over his body, and with the operation of the exercises, it gathered towards the dantian, forming a green cyclone.

The green light of the green cyclone is bright and dark, and the color is different, which looks very messy.

These are the yimu qi contained in the various elixirs that Shen Luo took before, hidden in various parts of his body.

With the operation of Shenmu Enze, these mixed Yimu Qi slowly merged into a pure Yimu spiritual power, which penetrated into his liver.

Shen Luo only felt that his body became much lighter, as if he had let go of some kind of heavy burden.

These Yimu qi are hidden everywhere in his body, they are hidden dangers, and they will explode sooner or later after accumulating over time. Now Shenmu Enze has refined all these Yimu mixed qi, and his body is naturally relaxed.
