"What are you doing?" A sharp shout suddenly came from the mountain road above.

When Shen Luo heard this, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, his hands loosened, and Ding Yuan staggered as if he had been granted amnesty. He was supported by others so that he did not fall to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, a white shadow flashed beside Shen Luo, and a figure fell from the sky to the ground.

Shen Luo Hearing the voice, he knew that the person coming was Bai Xiaotian. It was only when he glanced over that he realized that this guy was not wearing Guanli clothes today, but had changed into a snow-white robe, looking more and more chic and suave.

"It turns out... it's Junior Brother Bai. Please wait... let's talk slowly. We need to take a step forward."

Ding Yuan covered his right little finger and was sweating profusely, but he didn't dare to say anything. He hurriedly confessed and fled with a few people.

"Hmph, they're a bunch of bullies." Bai Xiaotian looked at the backs of those people leaving in a hurry and cursed angrily.

"Master Bai, why are you Heavenly Fire so angry today?" Shen Luo didn't really care and said jokingly.

"You're finally back..." Bai Xiaotian turned his head and looked Shen Luo up and down before a relieved smile appeared on his face.

"Why, you originally thought I would never come back?" Shen Luo asked with a smile.

"You guys are really not interesting enough. You didn't even tell me about such a big thing as practicing Kung Fu, and you didn't take me as your senior brother seriously." Bai Xiaotian pretended to be angry.

"I wanted to talk to you before I left, but I left in a hurry and didn't see you. Now I'm back. I bought wine and roasted goose. I'll call Senior Brother Ueda later and let's have a good talk." Shen Luo said with a smile.

"Of course it would be nice to have a drink, but it's a pity that I have to go down the mountain right away." Bai Xiaotian looked a little embarrassed when he heard this.

"Then let's wait until you come back." Shen Luo said.

"Okay, then I'll leave first." Bai Xiaotian nodded.

After saying that, he turned around and ran towards the mountain gate.

Shen Luo suddenly remembered something, turned around and shouted, "Bai Xiaotian, when will you come back?"

"I'm going home. Maybe I'll be back in half a month. Leave the wine for me..." Bai Xiaotian's figure has disappeared on the winding mountain road, and only the sound can be heard from afar.

Shen Luo watched Bai Xiaotian leave, turned around and continued walking to Bluestone Terrace's residence.

When he returned to his apartment on the far right of the first floor, after packing up, he went to report to Daoist Luo as usual, but he didn't see anyone. Instead, he met Tian Tiesheng on the way back.

Tian Tiesheng was very happy to see Shen Luo come back. The two of them got together and ate all the roast goose, but no one drank, so Bai Xiaotian left everything behind.

After hearing what he said, Shen Luo learned that Daoist Luo was invited down the mountain two days ago and has not come back yet.

During this period, Tian Tiesheng asked about Shen Luo's physical condition, and his words clearly showed concern.

Shen Luo didn't think about how to tell him for a while. After all, if he told the truth, mentioning Nameless Heavenly Scripture would inevitably involve Jade Pillow and the strange dream, which he couldn't say at all.

In the end, I can only deduce that he was convinced by Origin Preserving Pill given by the viewer Fengyang Zhenren, and the situation has stabilized, so he doesn't need to worry.

Tian Tiesheng When Shen Luo said this, he seemed to really believe it.

As evening approached, Shen Luo returned to his residence again.

Sitting by the bed, smelling the familiar smell in the room, and looking at the somewhat messy furnishings, he suddenly felt a little emotional.

It was obvious that there were only seven or eight days between leaving the mountain and returning to the mountain, but it actually made him feel as if he was in another world.

What happened in these short few days was simply more tortuous and bizarre than the experiences he had in his two dreams. Not long ago, he was a poor man who was dying, but now, he is a Daoist who has learned Dharma Nature.

After Shen Luo sat quietly for a while, he stood up and took out Jade Pillow hidden under the bed.

"Would you like to try again?"

He placed Jade Pillow in front of him, and gently stroked the pillow surface with his palm, feeling the cool touch from the jade, and a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes.

Nowadays, he is naturally no longer as resistant to Jade Pillow as he was at first, and has even become quite interested in it.

If it hadn't been for this thing, how would he have met Yu Yan in his dream? Without the old memories that Yu Yan accidentally leaked after drinking, how would he have found Nameless Art and thus cultivated Dharma Nature Passage?

Now he is already a cultivator with Magic Power. If he tries to use Magic Power to activate this thing, will there be any unexpected gains?

Shen Luo With this thought in mind, just in case, he decided to draw a few talismans to defend himself first, and then try it again.

He came to the table, took out Yellow Talisman Paper and Cinnabar, concentrated his energy, and began to draw the talismans on the paper.

The first one he painted was his most proficient Minor Thunder Talisman. After he finished two finished paintings intermittently, less than half of the thick stack of Yellow Talisman Paper had been used.

This has improved a lot compared to his previous success rate.

Shen Luo put the two Minor Thunder Talisman aside to dry, picked up the ink pen again, and began to draw Ghost-Expelling Talisman, which was also familiar, and used up a small half of the talisman paper before drawing three pictures that were relatively complete.

After that, he put down his pen and did not continue to draw. Instead, he leaned back on the chair and closed his eyes to rest.

Although his current body is far from what it used to be, drawing talismans is still too draining on his mind.

After resting for half an hour, he felt that he was full of energy again, and he drew a few other talismans such as Wishful Talisman and Evil-Repelling Talisman.

Because these talismans have never been tested and there is no successful experience to draw from, they can be drawn very quickly. Whether they are successful or not can only be known after trying them.

Shen Luo Originally wanted to copy the talisman attached to Talisman Fork, but after taking it out and looking at it, he put it away again.

It wasn't because of anything else, it was just that the talisman was rolled up on the handle of the fork, so he couldn't see the whole thing. He didn't dare to take it off hastily for fear of ruining Talisman Artifact, so he had to give up.

Finally, he brought over all the drawn talismans and placed them next to Jade Pillow in case of emergency.

After doing all this, Shen Luo started to operate Nameless Technique, mobilized Magic Power in his body to penetrate his right arm, and moved towards Jade Pillow.

When his fingertips touched Jade Pillow, a trace of Magic Power shining with blue light immediately flowed out as if being pulled, and flowed towards the pillow.

Shen Luo frowned slightly, carefully controlling the flow of Magic Power, and paying close attention to the changes in Jade Pillow.

After waiting for a while, his Magic Power had been injected a lot, but there was still no movement on Jade Pillow.

Shen Luo did not stop immediately, but still patiently continued to inject Magic Power into it.

But until he himself felt that Magic Power was a little empty, Jade Pillow had not changed at all.

"It seems that I have overthought it, or that Magic Power is not enough to make this thing react..."

Shen Luo smiled bitterly and had to retract his palm, feeling a little disappointed in his heart.

He had been tired from traveling and traveling for the past few days, and now he had consumed a lot of Magic Power, so he simply packed up the Jade Pillow and talismans and went to bed early.

The next day, early in the morning.

After Shen Luo got up and washed himself, he took the Talisman Fork and the painted talisman and headed towards the back mountain.

Now that he has started to practice the Nameless Heavenly Scripture technique, he naturally does not need to do morning classes to practice Minor Transforming Yang Art. However, because of the special nature of the Nameless Heavenly Scripture technique, he must find a pool or stream to continue practicing.

Although he often ran to the back mountains in the past, he also knew the location of one or two mountain streams and deep pools. Unfortunately, those places were too conspicuous. Once any Guanzhong disciples passed by nearby, they would be discovered.

Shen Luo didn't want everyone to know that he had obtained Nameless Heavenly Scripture, so he wanted to find a more private and quiet place to practice, and at the same time he also planned to try to control the Talisman Fork again.

Midsummer has passed and autumn is approaching, and the morning breeze on the mountains has obviously become colder.

Shen Luo was walking on the mountain road, looking at the faint morning light on the top of the mountain, rubbing his palms, his eyes full of eagerness.

Spring Autumn Temple The terrain of the back mountain is quite complex. In addition to large areas of deep old forest, there are also steep cliffs protruding from the outside. Some deep pools formed by rainwater in the mountains are located under these cliffs.

Shen Luo avoided the usual route, passed through a mountain forest with dense shrubs, waded through a path among thorns and weeds, and came to a prominent cliff.

There are many jagged and strange rocks on this cliff, which looks bare, but the view is very broad.

He planned to find a suitable and hidden place to practice from here.

At the very front of the cliff is a huge rock that protrudes from the mountain wall. It has been weathered by wind and rain for a long time, and has a thick layer of greasy moss on it. Shen Luo finally climbed up it.

He carefully came to the front of the rock, and when he was about to look down, he suddenly heard a faint sound of verbal disputes coming from below, as if two people were talking.

When he leaned out and looked down, he saw two figures, an old man and a young man, standing opposite each other at the foot of a cliff dozens of feet high.

When Shen Luo saw the two people, the two people also noticed him, immediately stopped talking and looked towards him.
