Chapter 61 Chapter 61 Is this... a sign of your return home? ...
This statement makes sense no matter how you put it. If Bai Lu had taken action herself instead of letting Huo Xuexiang attack with the sword, Lord Shen Guang would have been chopped off by his master without leaving any trace.
Juntian Sword Master? !
Even if Shenguan Bay is remote, and Lord Shenguan is not well-informed, as a cultivator, he has heard of the name of Juntian Sword Master of Xuanshan Immortal Sect, which is one of the largest sects in the world.
Moreover, it seemed that disciples of Xuanshan appeared in the town a few days ago.
Lord Shen Guang hiccuped in fear and looked at them in disbelief: "You are also disciples of Xuanshan? Is this really the Sword Master?"
"You really are..." Bai Lu turned her head and stepped forward to remind Tianzi in a low voice. Then he nodded and said, "You are so ignorant. The setting that Juntian Sword Master is blindfolded is known to everyone in the cultivation world. It is common sense. Can't you recognize it?"
Hahahaha, it's his turn to laugh at others for not knowing the common sense of the world of immortal cultivation.
Thinking of what Lord Shen Guang said just now, "yes", Bai Lu narrowed her blue eyes and looked at him.
"Also, why are you pretending here? Two of my senior brothers and sisters have been to Shenguang Bay. From what you said, I guess they have seen it before. Did you do something to harm them?"
Lord Shen Guang shook his head repeatedly, and even felt that it was a bit outrageous, even more outrageous than Jun Tian Jian Zun actually coming to the small town of Shen Guang Bay, "Me? Harming Xuan Shan's disciples? How could I possibly do that!"
"How is it impossible? You have invaded the town and harmed the residents here." Bai Lu thought, what else can you not do? After taking a few more glances, the sharp wizard suddenly became suspicious, "Wait, why do I feel that this is not your real body?"
Lord Shen Guang's appearance changed to be almost the same as the statue, very majestic, but the more Bai Lu looked at him, the more she felt that it did not resemble his real appearance.
Lord Shen Guang: "No, no, I just look like this."
Huo Xuexiang, who had been silent in the back, pinched his fingers and made a move. A ray of spiritual power hit the spiritual platform of Lord Shen Guang, traveled along the meridians of his whole body, and broke through his meridians. In an instant, no martial arts could be used, including disguise.
With a "bang", Lord Shen Guang's entire body became at least nine-tenths shorter, becoming only as tall as a finger...
As for his appearance, it is still similar to before, but no matter how majestic the face is, it will lose all its aura if it is only as big as a finger.
"Ah!" Lord Shen Guang felt his body up and down, hugged his chest and looked at the world around him that had suddenly expanded in embarrassment, and looked up at them with insecurity.
Bai Lu squatted down, feeling that her staff could crush him to death, and said in surprise: "You look like this, you can't be a locust tree."
He had seen many cousins of the Wood Clan, so he had some experience. A tree person couldn't be this tall. This Lord Shen Guang was even smaller than many fungus people Bai Lu had seen. What could he be?
So small, Chao Tianzi also came up with a sly smile and said, "Shen Guang Hou? Hou Shu is an elegant name for a locust tree. You are not a locust tree, why are you pretending to be one? You even lied that that was your true body and asked the temple to protect it. Could it be that you are not the real Shen Guang Hou, and you have occupied someone else's position as a deity?"
"I am the Marquis of Shen Guang!" The Marquis of Shen Guang's face turned purple, and he stammered, "I didn't - I just -"
"Wait, I have an idea." Bai Lu suddenly remembered something. Just now, Lord Shen Guang used the power of wood to control not only the locust tree, but at first he found that Lord Shen Guang was obviously because of the plant spores in the sky...
spore?
Bai Lu looked back at the moss crawling on the locust tree and suddenly realized: "Oh, you are not a tree, you are moss!"
Spores are one of the characteristics of moss. If it is moss, it is no wonder that it is shorter than the fungus man.
At first, Lord Shen Guang did not realize that they were fooling him, and he pointed out his true form directly. He should have been telling the truth at that time. But Bai Lu subconsciously thought it was the locust tree, maybe because the locust tree looked more imposing?
There are fungus people, and naturally there are even smaller moss people. If you practice Taoism, you are like Lord Shen Guang, and you can't go any higher. However, even Lord Shen Guang himself feels that his original body is not very imposing, which is not convenient for him to practice the Taoism of Incense Accumulation and attract believers.
You have to know that in the hearts of ordinary people, there is a simple idea: big is good.
Generally, the construction of temples and the sculpting of statues are also told by the Yin gods in their dreams to the believers how to build them. He calls himself Lord Shen Guang and appears in a relatively tall image. Not to mention Bai Lu, even his own believers can't tell his true identity!
Just like Bai Lu can also use plants and trees, Lord Shen Guang’s main body is moss, but he can also use other plants and branches to attack.
"Now tell me the truth, what did you use your spores for? Why did you allow Shenguan Bay to hold the Lantern Festival? To give you incense?" Bai □□ asked.
Lord Shen Guang said reluctantly: "I also wish them a happy marriage. Although their actions are not quite legal, this is also a reasonable practice..."
You still dare to say that? Bai Lu was able to pinch Lord Shen Guang's body with just two fingers, picked him up and swung him around dozens of times!
When he put him down again, Lord Shenguang's hair was loose, his clothes were messy, and he felt dizzy. He tossed his feet left and right on the spot, and finally sat down on the ground.
Lord Shen Guang didn't dare to talk back now. He didn't know how Bai Lu was going to torture him. There was also a Sword Master watching him closely. He had to admit defeat. He nodded dejectedly: "Okay, I admit that I did it."
"You are such a mean person. It's rare to see someone as cunning as you in the Wood Clan!" The cousins of the Wood Clan that Bai Lu had met were all very kind, but it seemed that all living beings have many sides, and the Wood Clan also has such a cunning cultivator.
"In order to get more incense, you bewitched everyone to hold the Lantern Festival. And because of your trickery, these people who were not supposed to be a couple kept quarreling like enemies. Even so, they still came to you to worship like this, creating demand, right? Also, our senior brothers and sisters in Xuanshan must have been harmed by you. They are still unconscious now. What did you do? Did you also bewitch them with spores? And where is our ancestor? Did you also take in young boys and girls?"
The more Lord Shen Guang listened, the wider his eyes opened. Finally, he jumped up and waved his hands vigorously while saying, "No, don't put everything on my head. I have a small head and can't take such a big blame!"
Oh my God, all the boys and girls have come out, what is he!
Bai Lu stretched out her hand and grabbed Lord Shen Guang's body again. You still dare to quibble, right?
Emperor Chao quickly assisted the tyrant and placed Wangcai next to Lord Shenguang. Wangcai immediately opened his mouth and was about to lick him.
Lord Shen Guang screamed and dodged, but because he was still being pinched by Bai Lu, he couldn't get too far away. He frowned and screamed, "Get out of here! Wangcai!"
When Wangcai heard the little thing shouting, he was so scared that he took two steps back and shook off his fur.
Seeing that he was about to be picked up and thrown by Bai Lu, Lord Shen Guang clasped the vines on the ground tightly and shouted, "It's really not me! I am a true Yinshen Xiangji Daoist monk. I will only bless lovers - I won't care if they are not a couple. And how could I quarrel like enemies after worshiping? You are not talking about my followers, right? I have been in this business for so many years and have a good reputation!
“I would not dare to harm the people from Xuanshan. Their lives are not enough for me… I knew that there were disciples from Xuanshan coming, but I was busy with temple affairs. I didn’t even know what they were doing and they left.
"Who is this ancestor? Your ancestor is asking me this?"
The more Lord Shen Guang spoke, the more aggrieved he felt. Finally, he said in a desperate tone, "If I were that capable, would I still be deceived by you? Would I still be controlled by you?"
This is a real grasp of physics. Bai Lu looked at the small Marquis of Shen Guang in her hand and stopped, "It seems to make sense."
He stood up and asked doubtfully, "Master, we thought this guy would be difficult to deal with, but he really doesn't look as powerful as we thought."
Huo Xuexiang looked around the entire temple.
Chao Tianzi also said with a sigh of relief: "Do you think he really has such a good reputation? Is it forced? It's very strange to think about it. Those lovers he recognized quarreled like enemies the next day, like those two scholars, and..."
Well, the couple also quarreled like enemies...
That's not right. Bai Lu suddenly realized a detail. "Wait, the couple didn't worship Little Marquis Shen Guang, they worshipped the Moon God!"
He was very moved when he heard the quarrel between the model couple that everyone in Shenguang Bay envied at the Lord's house, and thought that the two of them were good at pretending. Now that he thought about it, the Lord and his wife had never been to the Shenguang Marquis Temple, but always went to the Moon Temple.
He also saw the talisman of the Moon Temple and those small notes in the leader's study, which actually proved that their love was not all fake, but real feelings.
And the disputes I encountered on the road, when I think about it carefully, these people had a cliff-like emotional breakdown, which was extremely weird.
Did the spores of the Little Marquis of Divine Light manage the believers of other temples, or was what he said true and really had nothing to do with him? His cultivation level really didn't look that good.
"That is to say, this guy just makes everyone want to hold a lantern festival to attract more believers, and other things..." Bai Lu looked at Shen Guang Xiao Hou. He really thought that this guy was very powerful.
Lord Shen Guang’s face turned green: What an ugly name for Little Marquis Shen Guang…
"The flow of spiritual energy here is different." Huo Xuexiang sensed it again, his expression unexpectedly became much more serious. He stretched out his hand to control the spiritual energy, which was turning up inch by inch in the temple.
Bai Lu also looked around with the pendulum, observing the energy here.
"Woof woof!" When Wangcai saw the scene, he ran around in the dilapidated temple, as if he also wanted to help.
Seeing their actions, Lord Shen Guang was no fool and felt something was wrong. "W-what?"
No one is paying attention to Lord Shen Guang at this moment.
Huo Xuexiang did not find anything for a while, but he could feel that something was strange around him... something had a great influence, and even the master of the temple, Lord Shen Guang, could not detect it. Previously, he thought it was Lord Shen Guang, but now it seems that it is not.
"Woo?"
Huo Xuexiang turned around suddenly and saw a little boy of about four or five years old holding a roll of something in his mouth beside the locust tree in the yard. He hummed to them with watery eyes and tilted his head, revealing two furry ears among his messy hair.
Bai Lu was the first to react. He had such a familiar pitiful look in his eyes. There was no one else in this temple. He exclaimed, "You, you are not Wangcai, are you?!"
Isn't Wangcai actually a purebred dog? He didn't see it at all.
But Bai Lu's attention was soon attracted by what Wangcai was holding in his mouth. What a familiar material... He stepped forward unconsciously, and Wangcai obediently lowered his head and put the thing he had found in Bai Lu's hand.
"Good boy Wangcai." Bai Lu touched his head and picked up the scroll - it was a silk book.
After unfolding it, the familiar text and image style on it told Bai Lu that this was also a silk book of the Witch Clan.
"Master, it's another silk book!" Bai Lu said in surprise. He glanced at it casually and found it was a different spell. There was residual power flowing on the silk book, as if the spell had just been used.
"No wonder it is so hard to find. I thought you were pretty amazing before, but it turns out you have this." After Bai Lu studied it, she found that this silk book was like the magic book of their Western wizards, which could record spells. So it could also be a quick way to release spells and carry power.
Moreover, the more Bai Lu looked at this volume, the more familiar it seemed to him. How come the star map was the same as the one he had?
Lord Shen Guang rubbed his head. Even he had just realized what was happening, and he was still grinning: "Ah, ah, so that's why... No wonder I've been using magic so smoothly lately, and I've even charmed everyone in the town."
Huo Xuexiang also came over and carefully looked at the silk book in Bai Lu's hand. Since he had just used it, he followed the remaining strength and probed his spiritual power into it, looking for more traces.
The writing on the silk book emitted a faint yellow light, which gradually expanded and became brighter and brighter.
Bai Lu's pupils shrank, and some lost memories seemed to come back all of a sudden - after traveling through time, Bai Lu always felt that his memory was fuzzy. Before traveling through time, he was resting in a hotel, and everything happened too suddenly.
But all this... Yes, seeing the familiar scene, Bai Lu recalled that it was like this when she traveled through time. The silk book was emitting power, and the light gradually expanded until a crack appeared.
He fell through the crack... and then came to this world.
For a moment, his heart was beating out of control, the rhythm was so intense that it almost jumped out of his chest. All the light was concentrated in his eyes, spinning, and his breathing rate also quickened.
"It was like this when I came!" Bai Lu excitedly grabbed Huo Xuexiang's hand. She was overwhelmed by intense joy and had only one thought in her mind: Can I go home now?
After being away from home for such a long time, Bai Lu sometimes doesn’t dare to think about the chances of returning home, or how long she will have to search before she has the opportunity to go home.
But at this moment, this opportunity suddenly appeared!
Huo Xuexiang's face froze, but Bai Lu, who was in ecstasy, didn't notice. He gently opened his lips and said, "Is this... a sign of your return home?"
"Yeah, that day was just like this. After I opened it, I went in and arrived here—" Bai Lu always felt that she could almost see the TV, refrigerator, and even neon lights from the light. "That's right, my hometown is just over here. I can go home!"
Chao Tianzi asked in confusion: "What do you mean here and there? Master, which continent is your hometown?"
But Chao Tianzi was just confused. As a spirit of an artifact, he didn't need to make any choice. He just had to follow the wishes of his master.
But Huo Xuexiang is different.
At this moment, it was as if a huge rock that had been feared for a long time had fallen. Every joyful word that Bai Lu uttered pressed his heart tighter, giving rise to a dense feeling of pain.
Huo Xuexiang wanted to speak, but his throat seemed to be grasped by an invisible hand, making it difficult for him to open his mouth.
The halo of the silk book grew larger and larger, as if welcoming Bai Lu home, but Huo Xuexiang seemed to see countless fragments of memories in it. It was the time when they first met, Bai Lu was wearing that furry pajamas, standing out among all the disciples; it was the braids of Bai Lu flying when she ran and jumped; it was the smile on Bai Lu's face when she sent him a mountain of sword plums in Shuchun Garden.
At this moment, every scene seemed to be able to easily shake his firm faith in Taoism that had existed for more than two hundred years.
He helped Bai Lu study the silk book and look for clues, thinking that he was prepared and might send Bai Lu away one day. But when this moment suddenly came, facing the fact that Bai Lu was leaving, he was so agitated that he could hardly control himself.
"I don't know how long this space door will last. I have to go." Bai Lu let go of Huo Xuexiang's hand and hurried towards the light. He couldn't wait to see his family whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
At the moment when his fingers were about to separate, he suddenly flipped over and grabbed Bai Lu's wrist!
"Master?" Bai Lu looked back in confusion. Huo Xuexiang was holding him very tightly, so tightly that Bai Lu felt some pain. He struggled to pull his wrist free, but Huo Xuexiang was completely unmoved.
Huo Xuexiang's expression was as calm as usual, but there was something else in it. He pulled Bai Lu over with one hand and said, "Don't leave, okay?"
The content sounded like a consultation, but the tone was extremely firm.
