In the evening, when Bai Xiaowen was thinking about where he should go to get some benefits during this long night, someone suddenly knocked on the door.
"Which one?"
"Mr. Lu, my lady invites you to come over and have a talk."
It's a female voice.
Bai Xiaowen opened the door and saw a maid about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a bun on her head, standing there pretty.
"Miss, please invite me over?"
Bai Xiaowen was slightly startled, a little unconvinced, and confirmed it again.
"Yes, sir, please come with me."
The maid should go first.
Bai Xiaowen tidied up his appearance and followed slowly.
Is it really because I am too handsome? I have attracted all the ladies to fall in love with me, and even sent maids to act as matchmakers...
Bai Xiaowen instantly thought of the plot of The West Chamber. A handsome man's life is really as lonely as snow.
However, Bai Xiaowen still had some idea.
The etiquette and rules of the Song Dynasty were strict, and a true lady would not invite a stranger into the house for discussion at this time, unless her reputation and reputation were all gone.
Moreover, this is an "alternative history" plane, where demons are rampant, so we must be even more cautious about this kind of pie-in-the-sky invitation.
Soon, Bai Xiaowen was taken to the upper room where the caravan lady lived.
"Miss, Mr. Lu is here."
"I understand, Ming Luan, please come in, Mr. Lu, and you can go down."
"Yes," the little maid Mingluan said with a smile, "Master, please."
Bai Xiaowen pushed the door open, and the little maid behind closed the door with a creak.
Bai Xiaowen felt even more strange.
As soon as he raised his eyes, Bai Xiaowen saw the eldest lady who invited him.
Judging from the spiritual power and breath induction, this young lady's breath is weak and she has no spiritual power at all, which is roughly equivalent to the strength of a low-level awakened person. This seems even more abnormal.
In fact, if he stares for a few seconds, Bai Xiaowen can see through the eyes of evolution the reality of the eldest lady. But the eldest lady is currently sizing up Bai Xiaowen, and it would be rude to look at her head-on.
"Master Lu, please sit down."
The eldest lady spoke softly, "I take the liberty of inviting you, but I hope you won't be surprised."
Bai Xiaowen sat in the guest seat, shook his head and said, "I am deeply grateful to the lady for helping the man in trouble. As long as the lady has instructions, there is no harm in speaking up."
"Is the young master really a person in distress?"
The eldest lady looked at Bai Xiaowen with a half-smile, "I'm afraid ordinary bandits can't get close to the young master."
Bai Xiaowen's eyes narrowed slightly and then opened.
Where is the horse's foot exposed?
The eldest lady continued: "Sir, what exactly do you want to do by pretending to be a person in distress and joining my Chen family's caravan?"
Bai Xiaowen showed a cooperative expression of surprise, and then denied it flatly: "Why did Miss Chen say this? I am not an evildoer." He took the opportunity to look at Miss Chen and scanned the other party's basic information.
Miss Chen said calmly: "If I hadn't seen that your aura was upright and didn't look like an evil heretic, how could I have talked nonsense with you, let alone brought you to Guhuai Town?"
[Are they Taoist elites, or are they disguised as demons?]
Bai Xiaowen had thoughts swirling in his mind, secretly trying to figure out the identity of the other party.
Unfortunately, after the Eye of Evolution is advanced, it can only see the other party's spiritual power circuit, but not the other party's real name. If the identity of Miss Chen can be confirmed as good or evil, then it will be easier to make up lies.
From this point of view, in the spiritual world plane of the evolver, the role of the Eye of Evolution in exploring the spiritual world has been greatly weakened.
However, exploring the spiritual world is Bai Xiaowen's strength, and it doesn't matter even without the assistance of the Eye of Evolution.
With only 0.1 seconds of imperceptible thinking time, Bai Xiaowen opened his mouth and said: "I'm sorry, I didn't expect that the eldest lady is also a member of the same group. I'm so stupid that I couldn't see that the eldest lady has a special skill. Instead, she saw through it at a glance. It's really
It’s shameful.”
Miss Chen was wearing a high hat, and her expression softened slightly.
"I, Chen Rong, have studied Taoism in the Shangqing sect since childhood. I wonder what sect Mr. Lu comes from?"
Bai Xiaowen could only make nonsense: "I am just a casual cultivator in the mountains. I am not as famous as Miss Chen. My master calls himself Taixu Zhenren, but I don't know his real name. He just taught me the basic methods of cultivating Taoism and building the foundation, and left behind
He left with half a Taoist book."
Chen Rong asked curiously: "Half a copy?"
Bai Xiaowen nodded and said: "Yes, I relied on half a Taoist book to explore and practice some unskilled methods. It is really difficult to get into the eyes of the Fang family. Just like today, the lady saw through everything at a glance, but I didn't care about the lady at all.
Known.”
Chen Rong didn't seem to have been out much. He quickly believed Bai Xiaowen's words and said with a smile: "Since Mr. Lu is not a member of the evil sect, there is no need to be polite. We can just call him Taoist friends. As for seeing through Mr. Lu's Taoist roots, let's put it bluntly."
It's very simple, because of the 'spiritual sense'. I think Taoist friends rely on self-study, and they don't learn everything. They don't even know this important detection method, spiritual sense."
"Spiritual consciousness?" Bai Xiaowen repeated, his heart itching like a cat scratching his head. He knew that this must be a method of exploration for spiritual evolutionaries, and he wanted to learn it, but he didn't know where to start.
Chen Rong said: "Since my Taoist friend is not a person of evil ways, and he came to this ancient pagoda town, he must have come to kill demons, right?"
Bai Xiaowen nodded: "Exactly, when my master Taixu left, he once told me that even if my cultivation is shallow, I must work hard to eliminate demons, defend the Tao, and restore peace to the world."
Chen Rong said in a respectful tone: "My esteemed master is really a master who has the world in mind. Fellow Daoist Lu, I took the initiative to join the family caravan this time and walked the Cangzhou Ancient Road just to destroy the demons here. Fellow Daoist, you might as well go with me.
Let’s work together to slay the demons. I will give you the method of spiritual consciousness.”
The spirit world rules prompt message came:
"Elite side mission: [Haunted Market Town] starts."
"[Mission goal: eliminate or expel the demons in Guhuai Town.]"
"[Task duration: None (equal to the time you stay in this plane)]"
"[Task difficulty: a]"
"[Task reward: 100 spirit crystals (the final reward amount will be determined based on the degree of completion)]"
A side mission has been triggered, and it is an A-level elite branch right from the start.
The final reward of spiritual crystals also made Bai Xiaowen relieved. He had never understood how to earn spiritual crystals. Now it seems that at least completing side tasks is an important way.
Bai Xiaowen nodded and said: "Slaying demons and demons is our duty. Even if Fellow Daoist Chen doesn't teach you, I will join in."
Bai Xiaowen's underlying meaning is that you should teach me the method of spiritual consciousness first.
Unexpectedly, Chen Rong did not mention the method of spiritual consciousness again, and instead talked about the plan of how to subjugate and eliminate demons. It seemed that she really regarded "teaching spiritual consciousness" as a deal, and she wanted to eliminate demons before destroying them.
I gave it to the demons of Guhuai Town later. He is truly worthy of being from a merchant family.
