An hour ago, when Shen Luo just returned to his quiet room, he tried to talk about the jade pillow to the empty wall beside the bed. However, as soon as he opened his mouth, a violent and sharp roar sounded in his head, making him unable to speak at all.
After just trying twice, Shen Luo already felt a splitting headache and didn't dare to try again.
Now he had a clearer understanding of the strangeness of this jade pillow, and believed from the bottom of his heart that it was a "treasure" with great power.
But now, this treasure not only brought him into that horrible "nightmare" twice, but also seriously damaged his vitality and even affected his lifespan, which made him feel more and more worried.
"I can't take care of the jade pillow for now. The important thing is how to prolong my life." Shen Luo stood up and paced in the room, thinking.
Not to mention Master Luo, even Shen Luo himself did not think that he could cultivate the Xiaohuayang Gong, which he had only achieved a small degree of success, to the perfect level within two years. Moreover, even if he succeeded in learning it, the temple might not allow him to practice the Chunyang Sword Technique.
"It's better to ask for help from yourself than from others. It seems I have to take a gamble." Shen Luo suddenly stopped and made up his mind.
A few days later.
On the Chunqiuguan Mountain Road, Shen Luo walked down the mountain stone steps, his brows slightly furrowed, which never relaxed, as if there was some sadness lingering in his heart.
When he met fellow disciples along the way, he did not talk to them, but just bowed and passed by in a hurry. When he was about to reach the dining hall, he suddenly saw a familiar figure and stopped.
“Senior Brother Tian…” Shen Luo called out.
When Tian Tiesheng heard the voice, he quickly turned around and saw that it was Shen Luo. He grinned and walked towards him quickly.
"Junior Brother Shen, go find Master Luo..."
Before he could finish his words, Shen Luo grabbed him and took him to a secluded place a little further away.
"Senior Brother, I was just about to look for you, but I didn't expect to meet you here." Shen Luo spoke first.
"Looking for me? What's the matter?" Upon hearing this, Tian Tiesheng scratched the back of his head and said in surprise.
"It's nothing. I'm going back to my hometown to visit my relatives in the next few days, so I came here to say goodbye to you." Shen Luo smiled and said.
"Junior brother, can you go down the mountain and go home? Did Master Luo approve it? I have been in the mountain for so many years, but Master Luo has never allowed me to go back home." Upon hearing this, Tian Tiesheng looked a little surprised and envious.
"I went to see Master Luo and told him this morning, and he agreed." Shen Luo felt a little bitter when he saw his reaction.
Indeed, Chunqiu Temple has been closed for many years. According to the rules of the temple, if one has not achieved success in cultivation, one is usually not allowed to leave the mountain at will.
The reason why Master Luo agreed was probably because he thought Shen Luo didn't have much time left and thought he wanted to go home and reunite with his family, so he made an exception and allowed him to do so.
Judging from Tian Tiesheng’s past performance, he probably wouldn’t have thought of this, and Shen Luo didn’t want to explain.
"You are going back to your hometown to visit your relatives. Have you told Junior Brother Bai?" Tian Tiesheng asked.
"After leaving Master Luo, I went to Senior Brother Bai's courtyard, but he was not there. On the way back, I went to the place where he usually practiced, but I couldn't find him either. I guess he sneaked down the mountain to buy some wine. If you meet him later, please tell him for me." Shen Luo shook his head.
