"Since we're both cultivators, I'll tell you more about it. It's no longer a secret anyway. Now, it's not just our Tang Empire that has this disaster. The whole Dong Sheng Divine Continent is the same. There is also a rumor that a great calamity will descend upon the world soon. "Lu Huaming hesitated for a moment before sighing.
"Great calamity? Can you tell me more details? "Shen Luo was shocked and asked hurriedly.
He clearly remembered that not long ago in his dream, Yu Yan and his son had mentioned the great calamity of the demon swallowing the sky.
"The secular world doesn't know about this, but some secret places in the Tang Empire have long been rumored. Originally, there weren't many people who believed this, but as some cultivation sects that rarely interfered in worldly affairs began to pay attention to this matter, some even directly sent disciples down the mountain. I don't know if they want to investigate this matter or not, but it made this rumor even more confusing. "Lu Huaming touched his chin and said in a deep voice.
Shen Luo heard this and was silent. After a moment, he suddenly asked.
"Where did you come from? Ordinary cultivators shouldn't know about these things so clearly, right?"
Lu Huaming was speechless when he heard this, but he immediately smiled. He took off a palm-sized waist token from his waist, handed it over, and said, "
"Shen Daoyou has good eyesight! In this case, I won't hide it from you. Please take a look. "
Shen Luo took the token and looked at it under the moonlight. He found that this thing was quite heavy. It didn't seem to be made of ordinary copper and iron. One side was engraved with the pattern of two closed doors, and the other side was engraved with the words "Made by the Tang Empire".
"I'm sorry! It turns out that you are a member of the government. In this case, it's normal to know so many things. "Shen Luo's heart trembled, and he handed the waist token back.
"At present, the imperial court needs a large number of capable people. Shen Daoyou is young, but your water technique is already good. Since you are not bound by a sect, why not join the government? I am willing to recommend Fellow Daoist. "Lu Huaming said as he fastened the waist token back to his waist.
Shen Luo shook his head repeatedly. "You flatter me, Fellow Daoist. I've only just learned the basics of Water Arts. How could I have such qualifications?"
He hadn't even solved the matter of the mysterious jade pillow yet, so how could he dare to provoke demons and ghosts with his meager magic power? He had seen the horror of these things in his dream. In reality, he only had one life, unlike in his dream where he could be resurrected multiple times.
"Shen Daoyou, there's no need to be too modest. If you join the Imperial Court, you'll have many benefits. Not only will you avoid many worldly troubles, you'll also receive more resources and support. At the same time, you'll be able to do your part in protecting the people of the Great Tang. Isn't this killing two birds with one stone?"
"Thank you for your kindness, Fellow Daoist Lu. I'll think about it again after my magic power has improved," Shen Luo declined politely.
Seeing this, Lu Huaming no longer tried to persuade him.
"We'll talk about it in the future. However, I still have a presumptuous request. I don't know if Fellow Daoist Lu can agree to it? "
"Please speak." Shen Luo saw that the other party no longer insisted, and he was slightly relieved.
"Shen Daoyou, can you teach me a little about the Water Treading Technique that you just used?" Lu Huaming hesitated for a moment and said something that surprised Shen Luo.
"This …" Shen Luo subconsciously wanted to refuse.
"Fellow Daoist, don't worry. I don't want you to teach me all the incantations of this technique. I just want you to learn some of the incantations of the Water Treading Technique. As long as Fellow Daoist is willing to teach, I'm willing to repay you with a generous gift. "Lu Huaming saw the situation and quickly added.
"Didn't Fellow Daoist Lu say before that you don't study Water Arts? Why are you so interested in this Water Treading Technique?" Shen Luo couldn't help but ask in confusion.
"Although I don't know Water Arts, I can see that Fellow Daoist's Water Treading Technique is exquisite. If you can master it, it will be useful for you to travel around the water area in the future." Lu Huaming scratched the back of his head and said with a smile.
"Although I don't have the restriction of the sect, and there is no rule that I can't teach the technique to outsiders, but this Water Treading Technique …" Shen Luo hesitated a little.
"Fellow Daoist can rest assured. As long as you are willing to teach this technique, I am willing to take out something in exchange." Lu Huaming saw this and said clearly.
"Oh, what is it?" Shen Luo raised his eyebrows.
"Fellow Daoist, please look." Lu Huaming said as he reached into his arms and took out a small gray fork with a yellow paper talisman. He shook it at Shen Luo.
The fork was less than a foot long and looked very similar to a two-pointed harpoon. However, it looked much more delicate. A normal-sized yellow paper talisman was stuck around the handle of the fork. Surprisingly, it was a talisman weapon.
"How is it? Is Shen Daoyou satisfied?" Lu Huaming saw that Shen Luo's eyes never left the small fork, so he asked with a smile.
"Fellow Daoist Lu is so generous, how can I refuse?" This time, Shen Luo didn't hesitate at all.
