It was already late at night when he got home. Without the harassment of nightmares, Chen Luo slept until dawn.

"Half past ten?"

Chen Luo took a look in his mind, then decisively lay down, ready to take another nap.

Bang bang bang.

There was a knock on the door.

"who?"

"A courier."

Bai Xiaochuan's voice came from outside the door. Chen Luo rubbed his temple, sat up with a headache, and walked over to open the door. After he stepped on the nightmare to death last night, he tried to follow the method of Taoist Changqing to enter the world. He didn't practice for a night, and now his whole spirit is not good.

"Why are you here?"

I opened the door and couldn't help yawning.

On days when I don’t practice, I feel very sleepy.

"Boring, I was just going to bluff you."

Bai Xiaochuan looked bored, changed his shoes and walked into the living room. This guy came to Chen Luo's house many times, walked into the kitchen with ease, opened the refrigerator, took out a bottle of Coke, drank it hard, and then collapsed on the sofa, with an expression of the peak of life.

"It's so comfortable when there are no classes. I also want to take a leave of absence from school." The boy couldn't get this matter out of his mind.

He had a great deal of resentment about going to school every day.

"My teacher asked me to bring it to you."

Before Chen Luo could speak, Bai Xiaochuan took out an admission ticket from his arms and threw it to Chen Luo. Seeing the admission ticket, Chen Luo remembered that the college entrance examination was approaching. Only poor students like him and Bai Xiaochuan could be so relaxed. Other students were now concentrating on doing exercises, hoping to improve a few points in the last period before the college entrance examination.

"How did you deceive the teacher before? I heard that she met the parents."

"I found an old man on the errand delivery service and asked him to play the role of a parent." Chen Luo made up an excuse.

"Why didn't I think of that!"

Bai Xiaochuan slapped his thigh, his expression looked like he had lost a million.

"It's a pity that you have already used this method. If I use it again, both of us may be exposed."

"Aren't you going back to school this afternoon?"

"No, I asked for sick leave from my teacher." Bai Xiaochuan was very proud.

It seemed that being able to "cheat" a sick leave note from the shrewd teacher was the greatest achievement in his life. While talking, he did not forget to roll up his sleeves, and Chen Luo found that there was indeed a wound on Bai Xiaochuan's wrist.

"What happened?"

The moment he saw the wound, Chen Luo subconsciously narrowed his eyes.

nightmare!

After experiencing the nightmare, he recognized the source of this power at a glance.

"I met a weird guy in an Internet cafe two days ago"

Putting down his sleeves, Bai Xiaochuan and Chen Luo talked about what happened two days ago. According to Bai Xiaochuan's description, he met a homeless man when he was staying in an Internet cafe. The guy was an adult who did not work and specialized in extorting students like them.

He was injured because he resisted the other party.

However, the matter was resolved satisfactorily. The homeless man who injured him was taken away by the relevant department and would not be able to come out in a short time. Bai Xiaochuan also received compensation, which left him with a large sum of internet fees. He has been living a very leisurely life recently.

He chatted with Chen Luo for a few more words, and only left after finishing a can of Coke.

Chen Luo attached a spiritual consciousness to Bai Xiaochuan to ensure his safety.

His current cultivation level is limited, so he can only do this much.

After that, he picked up the phone and called Qingyang Palace. This matter involved nightmares, and he believed that the people in Qingyang Palace would handle it carefully. When Chen Luo made this decision, a wisp of black air rose from the area he had not seen, and merged with the inner demon calamity outside, becoming indistinguishable from each other.

The college entrance examination ended successfully.

For poor students like Chen Luo and Bai Xiaochuan, this is just an ordinary test. But for the vast majority of students, this is an important test that affects their lives.

During the summer vacation after the exams, the whole class had a reunion.

Chen Luo also went there, following the 'worldly method' of Changqing Laodao, he forgot about the world of immortal cultivation. Like his peers, he was full of youth, and his joy, anger, sorrow and happiness were no longer hidden. On the night of the college entrance examination, his parents came back, and the family had a meal, and then left in a hurry.

Through this contact, Chen Luo also learned about his parents' work.

The person in charge of the 'Isolation Plan'.

Top secret worker.

This is also the main reason why they rarely come back.

After getting in touch with them, Chen Luo discovered something he had never noticed before. The "people" in the Heart Demon Tribulation were not illusions. They also had their own lives, their own joys, sorrows, anger, and happiness. They would cry when they were sad, and laugh when they were happy.

Under the influence of the inner demon tribulation, Chen Luo saw a different world. These people who were previously used as "tribulation props" by him became alive.

The aura of the inner demon calamity was also further integrated.

summer vacation.

Chen Luo rode his bicycle to the square. Most of the students in the class would work as summer interns during this summer vacation, learning to integrate into the world of "adults". This is what many students who have finished the college entrance examination will do. Chen Luo also found a part-time job, running errands for the Taoist priests of Qingyang Palace.

"Chen Luo?!"

Chen Luo, who had just bought some water, heard a surprised voice. He looked in the direction of the voice and found a girl in a light green short-sleeved shirt waving at him under a blue shed selling insurance in the distance.

"Su Linlin?"

Chen Luo thought for a moment and remembered the girl's name.

This was his high school classmate, an honor student sitting in the front row. The two had not spoken much in school. But after leaving campus, the relationship between the classmates suddenly became closer, and the originally ordinary relationship became extraordinarily cordial.

The long-lost name made him dazed, and distant experiences emerged in his mind. The blurred face overlapped with the girl in front of him, becoming one person.

"Ha, it's really you!"

Su Linlin smiled happily.

She was wearing a green short-sleeved shirt and a sun hat with the insurance company's logo on it. When she smiled, her eyes curved into crescents and her dimples were particularly noticeable, just like the girl on a movie poster.

"I heard that you went up the mountain to become a Taoist priest? Is that true?"

"Fake."

Chen Luo rolled his eyes. The last time he went to Qingyang Palace, he was caught by Bai Xiaochuan. After that, the news that he went up the mountain to become a Taoist priest spread. He knew where the source of the rumor came from without having to think about it.

"I told you, how can a good person become a Taoist priest? Nothing Bai Xiaochuan says is reliable!"

"You are..."

Chen Luo didn't want to continue this topic and turned to Su Linlin.

"Sunshine Warmth Insurance, I found a part-time job online, distributing flyers here." After saying that, Su Linlin glanced at the woman behind her and spoke in a low voice.

"I feel like they are scammers. Don't buy from them, and don't let your family buy from them either!"

The two were very close, and smelling the scent of shampoo on Su Linlin's body, Chen Luo couldn't help but smile. Su Linlin also noticed something was wrong, and quickly distanced herself from him, her face flushed. But fortunately, neither of them was a pretentious person, and after a few words, the atmosphere was eased.

The break was over soon.

Su Linlin became busy again, and after she and Chen Luo added each other's contact information, they parted ways.

Chen Luo also returned to Qingyang Palace.

The front was still bustling with activity. Chen Luo walked around the tourists in front and went to the back where the old Taoist Changqing practiced. This was a closed area of ​​Qingyang Palace, and only formal disciples like them could come in. When Chen Luo entered, three people were practicing phantom martial arts.

The three disciples of Taoist Priest Changqing.

The oldest among them was the old man Chen Luo met in the park, named Wang Xuedao, who was at the second level of Huanwu.

Granny Hu was a little younger, at the third level of Illusionary Martial Arts, and the youngest was He Min, at the fifth level. According to Taoist Changqing's description, Illusionary Martial Arts was divided into ten levels, and from the sixth level onwards, one was qualified to fight against the inner demons, the seventh level could suppress ordinary nightmares, and if it was an intermediate nightmare, a master at the eighth level was required to be able to deal with it.

So far, no one has mastered the ninth and tenth levels of phantom martial arts.

Faced with advanced nightmares, humans have no solution but to use isolation to mitigate the disaster.

"Junior brother, you are back?"

Seeing Chen Luo coming in, the three of them smiled, and He Min even greeted him happily. Unlike the three registered disciples, Chen Luo was a formal disciple of Taoist Changqing. As an eighth-level master who suppressed the Rongcheng area, Taoist Changqing himself was a top master among humans. In ancient times, he was a warlord or a governor.

"How is it? Are you adapting to the work?"

Wang Xuedao also asked with a smile.

He was the first person to come into contact with Chen Luo. He was punched by Chen Luo in the park. Fortunately, he had good physical fitness, otherwise he would have been sent to the hospital after that punch from Chen Luo.

"It's just errands. There's nothing to adapt to."

Chen Luo replied casually, walked to the portrait of three people practicing boxing, and stood still.

The practice of fantasy martial arts does not require boxing.

It is more of a mental training, with the focus on illusion. When Wang Xuedao and the other two practiced, they usually used pictures to nourish their spirits. This picture in Qingyang Palace was painted by Taoist Changqing himself, and a powerful god was hidden in it. When practicing Illusion Fist, looking at the picture can increase the speed.

However, not everyone can endure this kind of practice, so Wang Xuedao and the other two can only watch it once a week.

Chen Luo is different.

With the foundation of Qi Refining Level 1, he could just look at the "god" in the painting. In just over a month, his Illusion Fist reached the fifth level, catching up with He Min who had practiced hard for many years. Granny Hu and Wang Xuedao were both left behind by him. This speed of practice made Wang Xuedao and the other two envious.

Half an hour later.

After Chen Luo finished practicing, the aura on his body fluctuated, and his realm was elevated again. His Illusion Fist broke through to the sixth level.

"Everyone, come in."

Taoist Priest Changqing's voice came from inside the temple.

He should have noticed Chen Luo a long time ago and waited until Chen Luo finished his training before sending a message.

"yes."

Wang Xuedao and the other two looked solemn and responded respectfully. Chen Luo followed them and walked into the hall. (End of this chapter)
