Although he was not close to everyone at Spring Autumn Temple, when the sect was in danger, both Daoist Luo and his great uncle gave him great trust and passed on "Pure Yang Canon" to him. He could not accept this without an explanation.

"There is nothing we can do about this matter for the time being. The other sects have already withdrawn their people. We Bai Family have left a few people there to monitor secretly. If we find anything else, we will report it back." Bai Xiaotian said somewhat helplessly.

"At home..." Shen Luo hesitated slightly and asked.

Previously, for the sake of their safety, he had resisted not contacting his family, but in fact he was very worried.

"Spring Autumn Temple's matter has been covered up. Not much is known to the outside world, and ordinary people have no information at all, so your family still thinks you are in the mountain. But don't worry, your father has asked you to take care of your home secretly, so there will be no problem." Bai Xiaotian comforted with a smile.

"Thank you very much. Since the situation there has been stabilized, I will go and write a letter to the family in the next few days to tell them the current situation." Shen Luo heard this and said immediately.

"That's fine." Bai Xiaotian nodded and said.

Not long after returning to White Residence, Bai Xiaotian was very happy. He immediately sent someone a bunch of Yellow Talisman Paper and a small jar of Cinnabar. Shen Luo did not go to the secret room at the bottom of the lake to practice anymore, but stayed in the house to draw talismans.

In Longevity Village's dream, Shen Luo came into contact with more high-level talismans, and his understanding of drawing talismans became more and more profound. Now he is even more comfortable in drawing low-level talismans such as "Minor Thunder Talisman". Basically, he can draw one out of three.

In addition, his control of Magic Power has become more and more proficient, and the consumption is much less than before.

It only took him an hour to draw dozens of Minor Thunder Talisman.

After he stopped writing, he sat back on the bed cross-legged and meditated.

However, after coming out of the state of drawing the talisman, his mind began to become a little confused. He couldn't help but recall the Flower of the Other Shore pattern on the back of the water beast. He slowly fell into trance and finally had to give up.

In the end, I had to take out a book I borrowed from Bai Xiaotian and started reading it at will.

At night, White Residence lights were lit everywhere, and there was a red light inside and outside the courtyard.

Shen Luo After dinner, a man walked to the front yard and saw that the front door had been closed, only the side door next to it was still open, and there were several attendants guarding the door standing next to it.

He hesitated for a moment and walked towards the side door.

White Residence's attendants had already received the stewardship instructions, so naturally they knew Shen Luo, and the leader among them took the initiative to greet him.

"Master Shen, are you going out?" the man asked after bowing.

"Well, let's go for a walk." Shen Luo nodded and said casually.

"It's getting late. Mr. Shen, don't go too far. It's best not to go out on this Yonghua Street. The city has not been very peaceful recently." Naturally, the attendant did not dare to stop him, so he warned carefully.

"I've noted it down, thank you." Shen Luo heard this, slightly clasped his fists, and said.

He originally planned to sneak out secretly, but when he thought about how many hidden masters there were in the Bai Family, in order not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings, he finally decided to go out with Mingzheng alone.

After Shen Luo came out of the side door, he walked away from White Residence. When he saw no one around, he immediately started Magic Power and poured it towards his legs. The steps under his feet immediately changed, and his figure suddenly jumped forward.

There is no curfew in Jianye City at night in most urban areas, especially the areas near the Qinhuai River coast, which are brightly lit and lively, looking no worse than during the day.

However, due to the recent spate of strange things happening in various parts of the city, and the fact that Water-Warm Pavilion has been rumored to be more and more mysterious, the number of pedestrians on the streets is still much less than before.

There is one place that is completely different, and that is the half block near Zhenhuai Bridge.

Water-Warm Pavilion has naturally gone out of business, and nearby shops have also closed their doors early due to the effect. Even the night boating trip, which was a favorite of scholars and scholars in the past, was temporarily suspended by a ban from the government.

When Shen Luo rushed here, he saw that the street was deserted, with only a few red lanterns hanging in front of each house still shining sporadically, making the street look bright red and dark.

He stood at the street corner, glanced towards the door of the Water-Warm Pavilion, then turned the corner and rushed towards Zhenhuai Bridge.

Just after taking two steps, Shen Luo suddenly tensed up and realized that something was staring at him, and the hairs on his body immediately stood up.

His body became a little stiff, and he slowly turned his head and looked towards the dark corner on the right.

I saw a figure slowly walking out of the darkness, wearing a Confucian shirt, and it turned out to be the white-faced scholar I saw during the day.

"Boy, I can see that you are a cultivator, but you'd better not get involved in the things here and leave as soon as possible." The man said in a low voice while walking towards him.

Shen Luo Hearing his voice, his expression changed again, and an inexplicable feeling of familiarity came over him again.

But before he could figure it out, the white-faced scholar had already passed him by and turned to Zhenhuai Bridge.

Shen Luo was just about to follow when he heard the man say in a clear warning tone, "Listen to others' advice and eat enough. You are young and don't always do things that seek death..."

He immediately stopped, and after a moment's hesitation, turned around and walked in the direction he came from.

When the white-faced scholar noticed Shen Luo leaving, a smile appeared on his lips and he quickened his pace towards the stone arch bridge.

After Shen Luo walked back for a while, he did not seriously go back to White Residence. Instead, he secretly picked up Slanting Moon Step and flew away lightly, landing on the roof of a shop.

He walked lightly and quickly on the roof ridge, and soon arrived at the roof of a shop near the river. He lowered his body and lay on the roof ridge on one side, with only one head exposed, secretly observing the situation over there Zhenhuai Bridge.

As a result, he saw the white-faced scholar standing in front of River-Quelling Water Beast for a while, then suddenly walked towards the river, stopped by the water bank near the Water-Warm Pavilion's backyard, and suddenly bent down and squatted down.

I saw him sticking his head out, looking left and right in the water, as if he was looking for something.

At this moment, the back door of the Water-Warm Pavilion suddenly opened, and Daoist Bai Shui, wearing a gray and white Daoist robe, walked out. When he saw a man squatting on the water bank, he thought he was here to throw himself into the water again, and his expression suddenly changed.

He jumped up and came to the water bank, stretched out a palm, grabbed the white-faced scholar by the back collar, and threw him backwards. The white-faced scholar was thrown up high and fell into the backyard of the Water-Warm Pavilion.

"Are you looking for death in the middle of the night? Why don't you choose a suitable place?" Daoist Bai Shui snapped angrily.

The white-faced scholar had a look of helplessness on his face, and was about to say a few words of defense when his expression suddenly changed and he shouted loudly:

"Be careful..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a sudden change occurred!
