"Could this be the legendary Qilin blood? It is more precious than the blood of a real dragon. After taking it, not only can you improve your physical condition, but you can also increase your lifespan." Lu Huaming exclaimed in surprise.
Shen Luo looked at the Qilin blood in the bottle, quickly put the stopper back on and put it away.
He looked towards the direction of the palace, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.
These three treasures are very suitable for him, especially the Zhenhai Pearl and Qilin Blood, which are simply tailor-made for him.
What shocked Shen Luo the most was the Qilin blood. He had never mentioned his search for a life-extending item to anyone except Ma Xiuxiu and Dan Yangzi. Dan Yangzi was now dead, and Ma Xiuxiu had disappeared without a trace. Under such circumstances, the court was able to find out about this. Such intelligence gathering capabilities really shocked him secretly.
"All under heaven belongs to the king. If the imperial court wants to investigate something, it will surely be able to find out. The Tang government is only the imperial court's apparent immortal cultivation force. In secret, it has other immortal cultivation forces at its disposal to monitor the world and collect intelligence. Brother Shen, there is no need to be surprised." Lu Huaming seemed to have guessed what Shen Luo was thinking and said.
Shen Luo was startled when he heard this, but he quickly recovered and nodded.
Next, the two of them did not delay any further and immediately headed out of the city.
Many of the ruined buildings in the city have been repaired, and the sad scene of every household burning paper money is no longer seen, but there is still a hint of haze in the air.
"There are indeed some wronged souls left in the city, and there are quite a lot of them." Shen Luo said to himself.
However, these wronged souls are not evil ghosts, and killing them at will would be against the harmony of nature. But if they are allowed to stay in the mortal world, they will not only affect the living, but will also evolve into evil ghosts, causing even more trouble. Therefore, those who died unjustly will generally ask monks to hold an altar to help them transcend and send them to the underworld.
This kind of salvation does not rely on magic power. For example, Shen Luo, although his cultivation has reached the out-of-body stage, he is unable to save the souls of the dead.
To convert these dead souls, one needs sufficient virtue, which is another kind of practice different from the realm of magical powers. It can only be done by people who are well versed in Buddhist principles.
Shen Luo didn't know much about this aspect, but he knew a little bit that to save the souls of so many dead in the city, it would require extremely high moral cultivation.
"Brother Lu, who is the Master Jiang Liu that Master Yuan just mentioned? Can he really save so many wronged souls in the city?" he asked Lu Huaming.
"Speaking of Master Jiang Liu, he is indeed very famous. Brother Shen, do you know the man who went on the journey to obtain Buddhist scriptures?" Lu Huaming asked.
"Are you talking about Master Xuanzang? Back then, he traveled thousands of miles west to the Great Leiyin Temple to seek Buddhist scriptures. This was a great event in our Tang Dynasty, so of course I have heard of it." Shen Luo nodded.
"Master Xuanzang suddenly disappeared not long after returning from his journey to obtain Buddhist scriptures. No one knows where he went. Some say he went to the Western Paradise, others say he passed away, and still others say he was reincarnated. In short, there are many different opinions, and no one knows the truth." Lu Huaming continued.
"I have also heard similar rumors, but in my opinion, the possibility of Master Xuanzang's reincarnation is greater." Shen Luo said with a changed expression when he heard this.
"Well, most people in the world think so. Many people claim to be his reincarnation, but the most convincing one is Master Jiang Liu. He and Master Xuanzang came from the Jinshan Temple in the Tang Dynasty. He has a deep understanding of Buddhism and has converted countless people. He is also very famous in Chang'an City. Many officials and royal relatives in the court go to Jinshan Temple to worship him without any trouble." Lu Huaming nodded.
