Chapter 217 Night Walk
Although he was not close to the audience in the Spring and Autumn Period, when the sect was in danger, both Luo and Shi’s uncle gave him great trust and passed on the "Pure Yang Treasure Book" to him. If there is no explanation, he will not accept this matter.
"There is no way to do this for the time being. Other sects have withdrawn people. Our Bai family has left a few people to secretly monitor there. If there is any discovery, they will report it back." Bai Xiaotian said helplessly.
"My home..." Chen Luo hesitated for a moment and asked.
Previously, for the sake of his family's safety, he forced himself to not contact his family, but in fact he was very worried.
"The Spring and Autumn Annals have been covered up, and the outside world knows very little, and ordinary people have no news, so your family thought you were on the mountain. But don't worry, my father has already instructed you to take care of your house secretly, so there will be no problem." Bai Xiaotian comforted with a smile.
"Thank you, then. Since the situation over there has been stable, I will go to Feng Family to tell them the latest situation in the past few days." Chen Luo said immediately after hearing this.
"That's good." Bai Xiaotian nodded and said.
...
Not long after returning to Bai Mansion, Bai Xiaotian was so happy that he immediately sent someone a stack of yellow talisman paper and a small jar of cinnabar. Chen Luo did not go to the secret room at the bottom of the lake to practice, but left it in the house to draw talismans.
Previously, Chen Luo came into contact with more high-level talismans in his dream in Changshou Village, and his understanding of drawing talismans has become more and more profound. Now, he is more comfortable to draw low-level talismans such as "Little Thunder Talisman". Basically, he can draw one of them in three.
In addition, his control of mana is becoming more and more proficient, and his consumption is much less than before.
But in one hour, he drew more than a dozen small thunder talismans.
After stopping his writing, he sat cross-legged back on the bed, meditated and adjusted his breathing.
However, after coming out of the state of drawing talismans, his mood began to become a little chaotic. He couldn't help but recall the pattern of the other side of the water beast on the back of the water beast. He was delayed in his meditation and had to give up in the end.
Finally, I had to take out a book I borrowed from Bai Xiaotian and read it casually.
At night, lights were lit everywhere in Bai Mansion, and red light was shining inside and outside the courtyard.
After Chen Luo spent dinner, he walked to the front yard alone and saw that the gate had been closed, only the side door was still open, and there were several servants guarding the gate standing next to him.
He hesitated a little and walked towards the side door.
The attendants of the Bai Mansion had already received the order to manage the affairs, so naturally they also knew Chen Luo, and the leader came forward to welcome him.
"Young Master Chen, are you going out?" the man asked after bowing.
"Well, go out for a walk." Chen Luo nodded and said casually.
"It's getting late. Mr. Chen, don't go too far. It's better not to leave this Yonghua Street. The city hasn't been peaceful recently." The attendant naturally did not dare to stop it, so he told him carefully.
"I've written it down, thank you." Chen Luo said with a slight hug and clasped his fists.
He originally planned to sneak out in secret, but when he thought of the Bai family's hidden masters, he finally decided to go out openly in order not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
After Chen Luo came out of the side door, he walked away from the Bai Mansion. Seeing that there was no one around, he immediately activated his magic power and poured it into his legs. His steps changed immediately and his body suddenly jumped forward.
At night, there is no curfew in most urban areas, especially in areas near the Qinhuai River, which are brightly lit and lively, and it looks no worse than during the day.
However, due to the recent strange things in the city and the incident of the Water Warehouse Pavilion has become increasingly mysterious, there are still much fewer pedestrians on the street than before.
There is a completely different place here, that is half a block near Zhenhuai Bridge.
The water heating pavilion was naturally completely closed, and the shops near the neighboring house were affected by it and closed early. Even the past, the scholars and scholars, liked by the night boat trip, was issued a ban by the government and temporarily stopped.
When Shen Luo arrived here, he saw that the street was deserted, with only a few vermilion lanterns hanging in front of each house, illuminating a few spots, reflecting the streets with bright red and dark scenes.
He stood at the intersection of the street, looked at the entrance of the water heater pavilion, then turned around the corner of the street and rushed to Zhenhuai Bridge.
Just as he took two steps, Chen Luo suddenly tightened his whole body. He noticed something was staring at him, and his hair immediately stood up one by one.
His body was a little stiff, and he slowly turned his head and looked at the dark corner of the wall on his right.
I saw a figure slowly walking out in the darkness, wearing a Confucian shirt, which turned out to be the white-faced scholar I saw in the daytime.
"Boy, you can see that you are a cultivator, but you'd better not get involved in the matter here and leave quickly." The man whispered as he walked towards him.
When Chen Luo heard his voice, his expression changed again, and a sense of inexplicable familiarity came to his heart again.
But before he could figure it out, the white-faced scholar had already passed by him and turned to Zhenhuai Bridge.
Chen Luo was about to follow him, but he heard the man's warning and said clearly: "Listen to others to have a full meal. You are young, don't always do things that you want to die..."
He immediately stopped, hesitated for a moment, turned around and walked in the direction he was coming.
After the white-faced scholar noticed the sinking and left, he smiled and accelerated his pace toward the stone arch bridge.
After walking back a little, Chen Luo did not take it seriously and went back to Bai Mansion. Instead, he secretly took the slanting moon step and flew away lightly, landing on the roof of a shop.
He stepped lightly, walked steadily on the roof of a shop in Linhe, and soon came to the rooftop. He lowered his body and leaned on one roof, leaving only one head exposed, and secretly observing the situation on the Zhenhuai Bridge.
As a result, he saw the white-faced scholar standing in front of the river-town beast for a while, then suddenly heading towards the riverside, stopping next to the water bank near the backyard of the water heating pavilion, and suddenly leaning over and squatting down.
I saw him poking his head and looking left and right in the water, as if he was looking for something.
At this moment, the back door of the Water Warehouse Pavilion suddenly opened, and Taoist Master Baishui, dressed in a gray-white Taoist robe, walked out of it. When he saw a person squatting on the water bank, he thought he was coming to jump into the water again, his face changed.
He jumped and came to the water shore. He directly poked out his palm, grabbed the white-faced scholar's back collar, and threw it back. The white-faced scholar was thrown high and fell to the backyard of the water heater pavilion.
"Are you looking for death in the middle of the night? Don't you choose a suitable place?" Taoist Priest Baishui angrily scolded.
The white-faced scholar looked helpless and was about to speak up for a few words when he suddenly changed his expression and shouted:
"careful……"
