Shen Luo's spirits were lifted.
There was a mystery in this object!
Shen Luo put the stone ball on the ground, and took out the magic charm from the palm of his hand. He took off his robe, and gently stroked the 'stone ball' with his fingers. Then, he pressed it slightly.
The surface of the stone ball was a little rough because of the small holes. But, it was somewhat elastic. It didn't seem to be very hard.
Shen Luo thought for a moment. Then, he picked up a fist-sized stone from the ground nearby. Then, he gently scratched the surface of the 'stone ball'.
"Clatter!"
A large amount of gray powder floated down. Then, a deep mark of several inches appeared on the surface of the 'stone ball'.
The 'stone ball' was as soft as flour.
He was startled at first. Then, he became overjoyed. He picked up the 'stone ball' and sat on the grass nearby. Then, he used the stone in his hand to 'polish' it.
The stone ball turned into a pile of powder and disappeared after a while.
Then, another thing appeared in Shen Luo's hand. It made his face look somewhat strange.
At first glance, this thing was more than a foot long, and less than half a foot wide. It was rectangular in shape. Its entire body was black and yellow in color. It seemed that it was polished from a whole piece of material. Its two ends were slightly upturned, and the middle was sunken. It formed a small arc. The eight corners of the edges looked quite round.
Shen Luo touched it with his hand. It felt cold, but not cold. It was fine and smooth. It seemed to be made of jade. There were some slender strip-shaped engravings on its surface. It seemed to be a wavy pattern. It gave people a feeling that it was carved out of jade.
But, this thing seemed to be a little old. Its surface was somewhat gloomy. There were one or two cracks on its edge. It gave people a feeling of antiquity.
"This thing … Why does it look like a pillow? A jade pillow? "Shen Luo looked at it carefully, and murmured.
Because the Shen family ran a medical center and pharmacy business, he had come into contact with many people from all walks of life. He could be considered to have seen some of the world. He had once seen a jade pillow in a local pawnshop, which was quite similar to the thing in front of him.
The way of medicine advocated that the head be cool and the feet be warm. This jade pillow came from this. Sleeping on it for a long time could strengthen one's mind and clear one's mind. Therefore, some nobles, ministers, and even the Emperor would generally use jade pillows on their beds in order to strengthen the body and the mind and prolong their lives.
However, the jade pillow was very particular about the jade used. Not all jade could be used as a pillow. Therefore, it was very expensive. It was not something that an ordinary wealthy family could afford.
How could there be a jade pillow in the middle of nowhere? And why was it hidden in this strange cave and stone ball?
Shen Luo looked at the jade pillow over and over again, but he didn't see anything special about it.
However, since it could attract the white light emitted by the charm, it was obviously not an ordinary object.
Shen Luo was excited and nervous when he thought that he might have encountered one of those "adventures" that was often written in books and had really found a "treasure".
After thinking for a while, he wrapped the jade pillow in his outer robe and tied a knot on his back. Then, he blocked the hole with a stone and pulled the nearby grass to cover it. He made sure that no one would notice anything strange.
He cleaned the surroundings again. After confirming that there was no one around, he turned around and walked out of the valley.
At this time, the disciples in the temple were practicing in their rooms. No one was walking outside.
…
He didn't meet anyone along the way. Shen Luo quickly returned to his residence in the Spring and Autumn Temple. He didn't feel relieved until he had entered the room and closed the door.
He fetched a wooden basin of water and found a clean cloth. After thoroughly wiping the dirt on the jade pillow, he held it in his hand and turned it over and over again to study it.
For a long time … for a long time … he couldn't see anything.
Shen Luo helplessly thought of the strange methods of identifying treasures recorded in the various travel books. Although he felt that it wasn't very reliable, he had to try it now.
Thinking of this, he first soaked the jade pillow in the water for a while. Then, he took a fire and smoked it under the pillow for a while. The result was that there was no change at all.
This situation made Shen Luo even more certain that the jade pillow was made of extraordinary material.
After all, under the fire, the surface of ordinary jade should at least have some color.
Next, Shen Luo found a small knife and made a cut on his finger. He squeezed out a few drops of blood and dripped them on the jade pillow.
After a while, seeing that the jade pillow didn't have any abnormal changes, he simply used the small knife to try to draw on the surface of the jade.
After the time it took to eat a meal, Shen Luo looked at the small knife in his hand, sweating profusely. He almost couldn't close his mouth.
The jade pillow was still intact!
After tossing and turning for so long, Shen Luo couldn't take it anymore. He could only temporarily give up on the next attempt.
He casually placed the jade pillow at the head of the bed. He planned to go to the monastery tomorrow and flip through the books that recorded jade materials to see if he could find out what material the jade pillow was made of.
If it still didn't work, he was prepared to make a few more "Little Thunder Charms" to see how the jade pillow attracted the white light.
All in all, although he still couldn't find out the abnormality of this object, through the previous tests, he was sure that it was indeed "extraordinary".
But just as Shen Luo put down the "jade pillow", after thinking, he picked it up again and placed it on the side table.
Then, he sat cross-legged on the bed and crossed his arms. His body didn't move as he slowly breathed in and out, practicing the Minor Yang Art.
Under the circumstances where he couldn't find a suitable method, practicing this art was related to the length of his life. Naturally, he didn't dare to slack off.
This cultivation lasted all the way until midnight.
Shen Luo inhaled a strand of red silk into his nose and slowly opened his eyes. His expression was somewhat gloomy.
He had only entered the first level of the Minor Yang Art, but the progress of his practice was obviously slower than before. According to this progress, reaching the second level was a bit far away, not to mention mastering it.
"Forget it, I've already made some progress in studying charms. In the future, I'll have to study charms while diligently practicing the Minor Yang Art. I don't believe that I won't be able to find a way to survive." Shen Luo comforted himself and relaxed a bit.
At this moment, it was already late at night. He yawned and turned over to lie down on the bed to rest. After a busy day of running around, his body was already exhausted and he quickly fell asleep.
The summer night was quiet, and the sound of insects rose and fell. The moon was in the middle of the sky, and bits of bright light sprinkled outside the window. The room was pitch black, and seemed exceptionally dusky and deep.
…
Shen Luo was sleeping soundly when he suddenly felt that his body was a little cold. He couldn't help but shudder and shrink his body. He raised his hand to pull the quilt next to him, thinking that he was sleeping soundly and kicked off the quilt.
However, he failed to grab anything. Instead, he felt a cold, wet, and strip-like object.
He was still in a daze and hadn't reacted yet. After muttering to himself, his other hand reached to the other side and grabbed randomly. As a result, he grabbed something soft and sticky. His fingertips were cold and piercing to the bone. At the same time, his nose smelled a strong smell of vegetation. The faint sound of insects was particularly loud in his ears, as if they were right next to him.
"Something's wrong."
Shen Luo woke up with a start. He immediately sat up straight and took the items in his hands in front of him. He quickly glanced at them and his eyes immediately widened.
