Although Shen Luo still had a lot of Blue Frost Talisman paper, it was insufficient to draw the Thunder Talisman. Naturally, he could not draw the Wind Barrier Breaking Talisman.
Although the Divine Travel Armored Horse Talisman did not have any specific requirements for the talisman paper, the talisman ink it needed was somewhat special. It could not lack a kind of spiritual material called "Earth Star Grass".
Shen Luo had seen this thing in the Treasure Record Hall before. It wasn't a very precious Spirit Grass, but he didn't know what use it had at that time, so he didn't buy it. Now that he was in Chun Hua County, he definitely couldn't buy it.
After a little selection, Shen Luo found that the only thing he could try to draw was the Mountain Crossing Talisman.
After Shen Luo finished his preparations, he began to draw the Mountain Crossing Talisman.
Compared to the other talismans he had drawn in the past, this talisman was lower in quality and less difficult.
He had only practiced for a short ten days, and the talisman had already begun to take shape.
This morning, after Shen Luo finished meditating, he planned to continue practicing the talisman, but before he could start, he was interrupted by a knock on the door.
He opened the door and found Nie Caizhu standing under the eaves with the maid Xiao Chun.
"Miss Nie, what's the matter?" Shen Luo smiled and asked.
Nie Caizhu looked hesitant, as if it was difficult to speak.
"Young … Young Master, my Miss wants to go to the Round Pearl Temple to burn incense, and wants to ask if you can escort her." Xiao Chun almost blurted out "Young Master", but quickly changed her words.
After that, she apologetically stuck out her tongue at her Miss.
"Cousin, if you're busy, then there's no need. It's fine." Nie Caizhu said.
"I am not busy, I am not busy, I will accompany you." Shen Luo immediately shook his head and said.
Shen Luo suddenly realized that he had only focused on practicing these days, and forgot that there was a fiancée at home who came all the way to find him. He could not help but feel a little guilty.
"Thank you for your trouble." Nie Caizhu bowed and said.
The three of them immediately left the mansion and drove the carriage out of the city towards the Round Pearl Temple.
After the previous riot, there was an obvious increase in the number of soldiers guarding outside Chunhua County, and the law and order had returned to normal.
The number of commoners heading to the Round Pearl Temple to offer incense also increased.
Shen Luo and his group set off late. By the time they arrived at the Round Pearl Temple, it was already past the time for the pilgrims to fight for the first incense stick. People were leaving the temple one after another.
Nie Caizhu brought Xiao Chun into the temple to burn incense. Shen Luo came from the Spring and Autumn Temple, which belonged to the Taoist tradition. It was inconvenient for him to enter the temple to pay his respects, so he walked around the temple alone to enjoy the scenery while waiting for them.
The Round Pearl Temple had been established for many years, and had been renovated several times. It was poles apart from Shen Luo's memory. Although he had been here once, it was to save people, so he did not pay attention to the changes in the temple.
The surrounding buildings and walls were bright yellow, and there was still snow on the top of the walls. There were many Buddhist mantras written on the walls. From time to time, the sound of monks chanting could be heard, and the air was filled with a faint smell of incense.
Shen Luo walked in the temple, and felt very quiet and peaceful.
"It's here, it's here again …"
"Buddha's light, look over there, it's the Buddha's light …"
…
At this moment, a burst of noise suddenly came from all over the temple.
Shen Luo did not know what was going on, and quickly ran back to the square in front of the Great Buddha's Hall. He saw many monks coming out of the hall one after another, and each of them put their hands together, chanting Buddha's name, and praying to the sky.
He looked in the direction of the worship and saw that in the sky behind the temple, there was a faint purple light, and the clouds above were dyed purple. It really looked like the light of a treasure.
At this time, Nie Caizhu and Xiaochun also came out of the hall. Looking at the magical scene in the air, they put their hands together and prayed.
Shen Luo looked at the light, but his nose suddenly wrinkled. He smelled a trace of unusual strange fragrance in the air.
This smell was mixed with the incense in the temple, and was not very prominent. But the moment Shen Luo smelled it, he felt a slight illusion in his sea of consciousness. But it was not uncomfortable, and he felt quite comfortable.
Shen Luo turned his eyes to the others, and saw that they all had a comfortable look on their faces, and felt a little strange.
But just as he followed the smell of the fragrance to the backyard of the temple, passed through several corridors, and came to the vicinity of the Guanyin Hall, the strange fragrance suddenly dissipated.
Shen Luo was puzzled, and looked up. The purple light above the temple had also disappeared.
He frowned slightly, and carefully explored the surroundings again, but found nothing unusual, and had to return to the square.
The monks in the square had returned to the main hall, but there were still some pilgrims who were talking about the "miracle" that had just appeared briefly.
"Cousin, where did you go just now? Did you see the Buddha's miracle? "Nie Caizhu saw Shen Luo return and greeted him with a little excitement on her pretty face.
"Buddha's miracle? You mean the purple light in the sky just now? "Shen Luo asked.
"Yes! That is a miracle unique to the Round Pearl Temple. I heard that it only appears once every ten years. I have been here for so long, but I have never seen it. I didn't expect that I would be so lucky to see it with you this time. "Nie Caizhu's eyebrows were full of joy. Obviously, she was very concerned about it.
"Young Master, it seems that you are also a person with Buddha's destiny." Xiao Chun also said happily.
Shen Luo had doubts about the Buddha's miracle, but he didn't want to spoil Nie Caizhu's mood, so he smiled and didn't say anything.
"Cousin, why do you believe in Buddhism?" Shen Luo suddenly asked when the three people were walking out.
"Mother believes in Buddhism. Since childhood, she taught me that Buddhism teaches people to be good, and taught me karma. I also think that some things in the heart are not bad." Nie Caizhu smiled.
"If that's the case, it's not bad." Shen Luo nodded.
Finished speaking, the three people returned to the county.
…
Shen Luo and his group returned to the Shen residence. From afar, they saw three luxuriously decorated carriages parked outside the courtyard. Next to them were two young men dressed in black with swords hanging from their waists.
"What's going on?" Shen Luo thought to himself and jumped out of the carriage first.
At the entrance, Fu Bo was rubbing his hands and looking in their direction with an anxious expression.
"Eldest Young Master, you've finally returned." As soon as Fu Bo saw Shen Luo, he immediately went to greet him.
"Fu Bo, what happened?" Shen Luo frowned.
Fu Bo glanced at Nie Caizhu, who was being helped down from the carriage by Xiao Chun, and said, "It's the people of the Nie family. They chased Miss Nie here."
"Fu Bo, is my father here?" Nie Caizhu heard this and her expression changed slightly. She walked forward and asked.
"According to them, it's your uncle, but there are others as well," Fu Bo replied.
"Let's go and take a look." Shen Luo looked at Nie Caizhu and said.
"Okay." The latter nodded and the two walked into the residence side by side.
In front of the grey-robed man stood a ghost with the head of an ox. The two glared at each other.
Behind the stall stood an old ghost in a black robe. His expression was somewhat awkward, but traces of greed could be seen in the depths of his eyes.
"Shopkeeper, I'll pay eight spirit jades for this item." The ox ghost turned to the stall owner and said.
"You … fine! I'll pay nine! "The grey-robed man's eyes flashed with anger, but he forcefully suppressed it and said coldly.
"Ten!" The ox ghost didn't yield in the slightest.
"Twelve immortal jades!" The grey-robed man immediately said, as if he was determined to win.
The two fought with each other, and the price soared to over twenty immortal jades in the blink of an eye.
When Shen Luo heard this, he couldn't help but feel curious about the item that the two were fighting over. What kind of item could be sold for twenty immortal jades? When he looked at the stall, his expression froze.
There was a fist-sized gray stone next to each of their hands. It didn't appear to be anything special, just like an ordinary stone.
However, with his bamboo tube as an example, he didn't dare to underestimate this stone and carefully examined it.
On the other side, the grey-robed man and the ox ghost continued to compete.
"Twenty-five immortal jades!" The grey-robed man slowly said.
"I'll pay twenty-six!" The ox ghost was no longer as casual as before. It seemed to have reached the limit of its wealth and hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"Thirty!" The grey-robed man seemed to see the ox ghost's hesitation and added four immortal jades, wanting to completely suppress it.
"Humph! You want to be unreasonable with me? Fine, I'll pay forty immortal jades. If you can surpass this amount, I'll turn around and leave. "Unexpectedly, the ox ghost glared at him, as if its temper had flared up.
The grey-robed man didn't say anything and was somewhat hesitant.
"What, you can't take it out? Then this item belongs to me. " The ox ghost saw that it had successfully bullied the grey-robed man and laughed. It took out a small bag and threw it on the stall, then reached out to take the stone.
"Wait a moment, who said I don't have it?!" The grey-robed man shouted and raised his hand to block the ox ghost's hand. He took out a small cloth bag and opened it, revealing pieces of immortal jades inside.
The ox ghost glanced at the cloth bag and said disdainfully, "You only have thirty-two immortal jades here."
"Although I don't have enough immortal jades, I can make up for it with something else. I just bought this Shadow Army Seal and haven't used it even once. It's more than enough to make up for eight immortal jades." The grey-robed man snorted and took out a grey-black talisman with the image of a soldier drawn on it.
"My apologies, this old man's knowledge is shallow and can't differentiate between goods and items." The black-robed old ghost hurriedly waved his hand. At the same time, a withered finger pointed at a wooden board next to the stall. On it were written the words "Only Immortal Jades".
The grey-robed man stood there in a daze, rubbing his hands with an anxious expression.
The grey-robed man suddenly turned around and looked at the onlookers and shouted, "Fellow Daoists, I just bought this Shadow Army Seal for twelve immortal jades. Now, it only costs nine immortal jades. Is there anyone willing to buy it?"
Unfortunately, the surroundings were silent and no ghost spoke.
"This Fire Talisman also only costs nine immortal jades." The grey-robed man took out another talisman and shouted.
The onlookers looked at each other, but still no one spoke.
"Hey, don't waste time here. If you don't have enough immortal jades, then you don't have enough. You spent two hours to get the money, do you think I have to wait here for you for two hours? Everyone is very busy. "The cow-headed ghost snorted.
The grey-robed man's eyes darkened. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly saw Shen Luo standing outside and his eyes lit up.
The grey-robed man hesitated for a moment, but still walked over and cupped his hands. "Fellow Daoist Tian, I wonder if you can help me a little. I will definitely repay you later."
"There's no need for that. You and I come from the same place, so we should help each other." Shen Luo waved his hand and took out nine immortal jades and handed them over.
The grey-robed man's eyes flashed with gratitude. He thanked him and placed the immortal jades on the stall. The black-robed old ghost looked at the immortal jades in front of him and couldn't hide the joy on his withered face.
"You said that as long as I can take out more than forty immortal jades, this thing will belong to me." The grey-robed man glanced at the cow-headed ghost and took the stone.
The cow-headed ghost glowered at the grey-robed man, but didn't stop him. He snorted and took back his immortal jades, then turned and strode away.
The nearby ghosts saw that there was no more drama to watch and quickly dispersed. The black-robed old ghost was afraid that the grey-robed man would go back on his word, so he quickly put away his stall and blended into the crowd.
However, many ghosts still glanced at the grey-robed man and the grey stone in his hand before they left. Their expressions were complicated.
Forty-one immortal jades were enough to buy a mid-grade magic tool. Now that he had bought a grey stone, they didn't know what it was for.
The grey-robed man put away the stone and gestured to Shen Luo, then quickly walked toward the shops.
Shen Luo understood and quickly followed.
The two of them blended into the crowd of people around the shops. After making sure that they had thrown off all the attention, they stopped in an empty alley.
The grey-robed man thanked Shen Luo again and took out the two immortal jades and asked, "Thank you for your help, Fellow Daoist. I don't know if Fellow Daoist wants to use the talismans as compensation for the nine immortal jades, or should I sell the talismans and return the immortal jades to Fellow Daoist?"
"These two talismans are good, but I don't need them. Fellow Daoist, you can exchange them for immortal jades later." Shen Luo said.
"Okay." The grey-robed man immediately nodded.
After this incident, the relationship between the two of them became much closer.
"That stone, what kind of treasure is it? It's worth Fellow Daoist spending so much money to buy it. "Shen Luo hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked.
The grey-robed man glanced at Shen Luo with a hesitant expression.
"I'm just asking casually. If Fellow Daoist feels embarrassed, just pretend that I didn't ask." Shen Luo smiled and said.
"There's nothing I can't say. If it weren't for Your Excellency's help, I wouldn't have been able to get this thing. It's a matter of course to help Fellow Daoist." The grey-robed man let out a sigh of relief. His eyes became relaxed, and he said in a brisk tone.
"This thing is called Shadowless Jade. It's a rare treasure from the Ghost World. It's priceless. I happen to need it urgently." He paused for a moment, then quickly continued. At the same time, he took out the gray stone and put it close to the ground.
Shen Luo's face showed a surprised expression, and he exclaimed in surprise.
The valley was brightly lit, and this alley was also illuminated by light. However, there was no shadow under the stone.
"There's really no shadow, but it's just light without shadow. It doesn't seem to be a rare treasure. This thing should have other magical powers, right?" He quickly put away his surprised expression and asked.
