When Shen Luo heard the sound from afar, he guessed the possible situation here, but when he saw it with his own eyes, he was still shocked.
He immediately avoided crowded places, carefully circumvented those vicious creatures, and ran along a small path towards his residence.
He was familiar with the environment of Chunqiu Temple and chose to walk through remote alleys. In addition, his five senses were sensitive and he was able to effectively avoid those ghosts. He soon arrived near Qingshiping.
Shen Luo did not take the main road in front of Qingshiping, but walked along a small path behind the disciples' rooms and ran towards his residence.
Before he had taken a few steps, a dark shadow flashed beside a disciple's room in front, and a demon dog half a man's height jumped out, dragging a corpse in its mouth, as if it wanted to hide in this hidden place to taste it.
"Ah..." The demon dog immediately noticed Shen Luo, let go of the corpse in its mouth, and pounced towards Shen Luo.
Shen Luo crouched down and nimbly dodged the ghost dog's pounce, glancing at the corpse on the ground.
The man was a young man with a square face and thick eyebrows, and his body was covered in blood.
"Fang Ping!" Shen Luo cried out in surprise.
This man was a disciple of Chunqiu Temple who lived near Shen Luo. He was born in a farming family. The two had met several times before and were quite familiar with each other.
"Beast!" Shen Luo's eyes turned cold, and he flipped his right hand. The gray-white talisman fork appeared out of thin air, suddenly turned into a white light, and shot towards the demon dog.
The demon dog was startled, and quickly leaped on all fours and dodged to the side.
But the small white fork suddenly made a flexible turn, and instead of being pulled away, it caught up with the ghost dog in the blink of an eye and hit it between the chest and abdomen with lightning speed.
There was a dull "swish" sound, and the talisman fork pierced through the ghost dog's body.
A large hole was punched in the demon dog's chest and abdomen, and its entire body was almost broken in two, but no blood flowed out and the wound was frozen by a layer of light black ice crystals.
The demon dog didn't even let out a scream. Its body trembled a few times and soon became motionless.
Shen Luo waved his hand to recall the talisman fork, and a hint of unexpected joy flashed in his eyes.
He had never been able to manipulate the talisman so flexibly before, but he didn't expect that he could do it just now with one stroke of his magic.
"Could it be related to the insights in the dream?"
But the situation was urgent at the moment, and he had no time to think about it. He put away the talisman fork and continued to go to his residence. As for Fang Ping's body, he could only leave it where it was.
Shen Luo quickly arrived at his residence. Although it was located in a remote area, it had not been visited by invaders yet.
As soon as he entered the room and closed the door, he immediately took out the stone box and jade pillow from under the bed, opened the stone box, and tried to put the jade pillow inside.
As soon as the jade pillow approached the stone box, it was immediately covered by a layer of white light, and quickly shrank into a fist-sized piece of jade, which was successfully placed into the stone box.
Upon seeing this, Shen Luo hurriedly stuffed the jade pendant, the tools he usually used to draw talismans, some useful books, and two sets of clothes into the stone box. He then wrapped up the stone box and carried it on his back.
After doing all this, he did not delay in the room, but immediately opened the door and walked out.
"Junior Brother Shen, you are here, that's great!" A figure strode over, it was Tian Tiesheng.
He held a steel knife in his hand, half of his body was covered in blood, and he was panting, obviously having just experienced a fierce battle.
