"Let's see if there is a bridge nearby or another way out."
Shen Luo muttered to himself. He jumped off the black horse and tied it to a tree by the river. Then he walked along the river and looked to both sides at the same time.
At this moment, the moon was in the sky, sprinkling bursts of silver light. The surrounding light was not bad. In addition, his eyesight was greatly improved, so he could see almost no difference from daytime.
It was just that the river was winding and the trees on both sides were lush, blocking the line of sight. He couldn't see too far.
Shen Luo thought for a moment and decided to go to the middle of the river where the view was open. So he silently used the Water Treading Technique. His feet were covered with a layer of blue light and he stepped on the river.
Two groups of water vortexes emerged under his feet and supported his body.
The last time he used the Water Treading Technique was in a calm stream. This time he came to a turbulent river with surging undercurrents nearby. The Water Treading Technique was just a beginner. Now it was disturbed by external forces, so it was even more inflexible. His body suddenly rose and fell with the waves of the river, swaying left and right as if he could fall into the river at any time.
He hurriedly and secretly channeled his spiritual power into his feet to maintain the Water Treading Technique. At the same time, he stretched out his hands and adjusted his body posture to balance the impact of the river. After gradually adapting to the flow of the river, his body gradually became stable.
"It seems that this Water Treading Technique still needs to be practiced in various rivers. In particular, I need to learn to adapt to various complex water states to maintain balance. In the future, it will come in handy when needed."
Shen Luo breathed a sigh of relief. After calming down, he continued to walk toward the middle of the river.
"What a wonderful water controlling technique!"
At this moment, a clear voice suddenly came from a distance. The voice was not loud, but it covered the sound of the rolling waves around. It was as if the voice was talking in Shen Luo's ear.
Shen Luo's mind was originally focused on the Water Treading Technique. When he suddenly heard this voice, his mind suddenly became chaotic.
The spiritual power in his body was slightly sluggish. The spiritual light under his feet suddenly dissipated. His whole body immediately fell into the river with a "plop" sound.
Shen Luo struggled in the water for a while. He hurriedly formed a spell with his hands, and the river water around him suddenly stirred, forming a circle of spiral waves around him. Once again, the bottom of his feet produced a lifting force, lifting him out of the water.
Dripping wet, he looked towards the shore where he had come from and saw that near the big tree where he had tied his horse, a tall and sturdy young man had appeared out of nowhere.
Under the illumination of the moonlight, the young man's sparse eyebrows could be clearly seen. Two sword-like eyebrows flew diagonally to his temples, a pair of eyes as bright as stars, a tall nose bridge like a mountain range, and slightly thick lips with an obvious smile.
The young man was wearing a round-necked robe, covered with half of a fish scale armor that extended from his right shoulder to his ribs. On his back, he carried a quaint longsword with a long hilt. He exuded a valiant aura from head to toe.
Without waiting for Shen Luo to speak, the young man cupped his fists and asked, "May I ask which Inner Disciple of the Ruo Shui Sect you are?"
"May I know why you ask?" Shen Luo frowned slightly and said.
At this time, of course, he was no longer the son of a merchant who had just joined the Spring and Autumn Temple two years ago. He naturally knew that with the vastness of the world, there was certainly more than one Spring and Autumn Temple for cultivation. It was just that he had never had the opportunity to learn about other cultivation sects, so he didn't know about the Ruo Shui Sect.
"Oh, is it not? I thought that in the entire Dengping County, only the Inner Disciple of the Ruo Shui Sect could be so proficient in water techniques. You look really young, so you asked this question. "The young man raised his eyebrows and said with some doubt.
"It seems that you have misunderstood. I am just a casual cultivator, and I don't have any sect inheritance." Shen Luo's eyes flashed slightly and said casually.
Then, he walked towards the shore and planned to leave with his horse. He didn't want to have too much contact with this person of unknown origin.
"Since we are all cultivators, let's call each other fellow cultivators for the time being. My name is Lu Huaming, and I am from Chang 'an. May I know how to address you? "The young man saw Shen Luo walk towards the black horse after coming ashore, and hurriedly reported his name.
"I am … Shen Jiacheng, a local. Since Fellow Lu is from the capital, why did you come to this remote Songfan County? "Shen Luo hesitated for a moment, turned around and replied with a smile.
He was still a bit wary of this stranger who suddenly appeared, so he didn't tell him his real name.
"It turns out to be Shen Daoyou. I came to Dengping City to run an errand to deliver a letter. On the way back, I happened to see you cultivating here. I couldn't help but be curious and came to say hello. I hope Fellow Cultivator doesn't feel abrupt. "Lu Huaming looked at Shen Luo's wet appearance and said apologetically.
Shen Luo saw that the other person's tone was sincere, and his eyes were full of spirit. He didn't look like a bad person, so he said with a smile, "No, I'm not good enough. I made a fool of myself in front of Fellow Cultivator Lu."
"It's my honor to be able to witness the Divine Water Controlling Technique today! Please forgive me for being presumptuous, but Shen Daoyou just used the Water Treading Technique of the Water Method, right? "Lu Huaming hurriedly waved his hand and asked.
"Why? Does Fellow Cultivator Lu also know about this?" Shen Luo raised his eyebrows and asked.
"What kind of research? I just heard that this technique consumes little spiritual power, but it can make the cultivator in an invincible position on the water. It's very suitable to deal with some monsters of the Water Clan. It makes people envious." Lu Huaming shook his head with a smile and said so.
"I am a casual cultivator, and my knowledge is shallow. I have always heard of monsters, but I haven't seen it with my own eyes. Can Fellow Cultivator tell me a thing or two? "Shen Luo listened and became curious.
When he first entered the dream in Donglai County, he saw a green wolf and a monster with a wolf head and a human body, which left a deep impression on him.
"In fact, there is nothing much to say about the monsters of the Demon Clan. They cultivate the same as us humans. They rely on absorbing the spiritual power of heaven and earth, conforming to the changes of Yin, Yang, and Five Elements to open their spiritual wisdom and increase their spiritual power. Generally speaking, monsters and ghosts of the same level have all kinds of innate magical powers, and they are three times stronger than us humans. Of course, we human cultivators also have various external aids such as talismans. If we really fight, it's hard to say who will win. In addition, Shen Daoyou doesn't know that the world seems to be a peaceful scene, and everyone lives and works in peace. In fact, the undercurrent is surging, and danger is everywhere! In the territory of our Tang Empire, there are not only monsters, but also ghosts and monsters frequently causing trouble. The local government has been somewhat overwhelmed to deal with this. Even half a year ago, the imperial court has clearly issued an edict, and began to spend a lot of money to begin to recruit some strange people to deal with this matter. "Lu Huaming said frankly.
"There is such a thing!" Shen Luo was a little surprised.
