"It seems like it's just physical fatigue. It's nothing serious." Shen Luo was a little less worried, but he was even more doubtful.
He carefully recalled what happened last night, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt like he had experienced it himself.
"Looks like there's only one way to confirm whether it was a dream or not." Shen Luo muttered.
He then pulled himself together and took off his shirt again, leaving his upper body bare. He then bit his index finger and used his blood to carefully draw two blood red runes on his chest just like in the dream last night.
One was the "Exorcism Rune", and the other was the "Little Thunder Rune", both of which were activated last night.
If what happened in the mountain village was real, then he should be able to do it in reality.
Shen Luo closed his eyes and began to slowly channel the Yang energy into the blood red rune on his chest, repeating the steps from last night.
When the Yang energy entered the rune of the "Exorcism Rune", there was no change.
This made Shen Luo's heart sink. He then channeled the Yang energy into the rune of the "Explosive Rune", but there was still no change.
After thinking quickly, he gritted his teeth and channeled the Yang energy several times faster. Finally, he felt that the rune on his chest began to heat up, and it was getting hotter and hotter, vaguely similar to the burning sensation of the rune last night before it exploded.
Shen Luo was overjoyed. Just as he was about to channel more Yang energy into the rune, the "Little Thunder Rune" on his chest quickly cooled down, and there was no change.
He was suddenly stunned. He could only channel the remaining Yang energy into the rune on his chest, but there was still no change.
Did this count as a success or a failure?
Shen Luo was also a bit confused.
He was not willing to give up. After meditating to recover some Yang energy, he drew a new "Little Thunder Rune" on his body, but the result was still the same.
The rune drawn with blood essence only warmed up slightly before it didn't produce any results.
Shen Luo thought about it for a long time, but still could not come to a conclusion. Instead, his stomach began to growl.
"Forget it, I can only put it aside for now. When it's time for lunch, let's fill our stomachs first." Shen Luo stood up unwillingly. After this torment, most of the soreness in his body had disappeared.
But after taking a few steps out of the door, he turned back and took out a talisman from his sleeve and stuck it in the middle of the jade pillow. Then, he carefully picked it up from the bed and bent down to place it under the table. Only then did he clap his hands and relax.
Lunchtime was the most crowded time in the canteen. Shen Luo came a little earlier, so there were not many people inside.
After he went to collect the vegetarian meal, he picked his usual seat and sat down to eat.
Halfway through the meal, the number of people in the dining hall gradually increased.
At this moment, someone patted Shen Luo's left shoulder.
When he turned his head to look, the left side of the bench was empty, but there was a flash of a figure on the right side. Someone had already taken the seat.
It was Bai Xiaotian.
"Junior Brother Shen, I have to say something to you. You can't slack off after just making a little progress in your cultivation …" Bai Xiaotian put down the food and looked like an elder teaching a junior.
"Senior Brother Bai, why do you say that?" Shen Luo asked in surprise.
"After I finished cultivating in the morning, I went to the big rock in the Jade Emperor Hall to look for you, but I didn't see you. You usually don't miss a day, regardless of the weather. Tell me, where did you go? "Bai Xiaotian put away his joking expression and asked.
"Oh … I felt a little unwell when I woke up this morning, so I meditated in my room." Shen Luo hesitated for a moment and did not mention the dream last night.
Bai Xiaotian carefully looked at Shen Luo's complexion and found that he was indeed a little tired. He could not help but ask, "How do you feel now? Do you want me to bring you to see Master Luo? "
"There's no need to trouble yourself. I'm fine now. I'll rest for a while after eating. I should be fine tomorrow." Shen Luo smiled and replied.
"Since you said so, I won't force you. Rest more." Bai Xiaotian nodded.
Shen Luo smiled and continued to eat with his head lowered.
"Hey, I say, don't tell me you have something that you can't tell me … How about this, you tell me softly. I promise I won't tell anyone." Bai Xiaotian held it in for a while, then suddenly leaned over and whispered.
"Get lost." Shen Luo rolled his eyes and pretended to be angry.
"Haha …"
…
After lunch, Shen Luo and Bai Xiaotian parted ways. He did not return immediately, but went to the library of the Spring and Autumn Temple. There, he randomly flipped through some ancient books related to gold and stone materials.
Unfortunately, he did not find anything. He did not find any records related to the strange jade pillow.
Shen Luo had no choice but to return to his residence.
After pushing open the door, he immediately swept a glance under the table and saw that strange jade pillow still lying on the floor.
He closed the door and bent down to put the jade pillow on the table. He stared at it and thought for a long time.
"No, this time I have to figure out what you are." After a long time, Shen Luo said fiercely through gritted teeth.
Then, he took out a piece of gray cotton cloth and wrapped the jade pillow. He hurried out and went straight to the back of the mountain.
It was just past noon, the time when the yang energy between heaven and earth was at its peak. If there were evil spirits, they should be dormant and not come out. Shen Luo intended to take advantage of this time to see if there was anything strange about this jade pillow.
The back of the mountain was away from the sun. Most of the area could only be illuminated by the sunset. Shen Luo searched for a long time before he found a protruding rock. There were no trees in the surroundings, and it was bathed in the afternoon sun.
He placed the jade pillow on the rock and opened the gray cotton cloth that was wrapped around it.
The sunlight fell on the jade pillow. The originally dim yellow color of the pillow reflected a little more translucent texture. But apart from that, there was nothing unusual.
"I want to see if you are really indestructible." Shen Luo raised his spirits and took out a polished axe from behind his waist.
He had borrowed this axe from the dining hall on his way here. Under the reflection of the sunlight, it flashed a sharp cold light.
Previously, he had used a small knife to test it. But, it couldn't leave any mark on the jade pillow. Now, he simply changed it to a big weapon that was suitable for chopping.
Shen Luo grabbed the handle of the axe. He didn't immediately chop down. Instead, he used the sharp edge of the axe blade to gently poke the jade pillow.
A slight sound was heard, and the jade pillow shook slightly. When he moved the axe away to take a look, there wasn't any mark left on the surface.
Seeing this, Shen Luo grasped the handle of the axe and gestured to the jade pillow. Then, he turned the axe blade away and used the thick part of the axe to smash the jade pillow.
"Bang!" A muffled sound was heard.
The axe was shaken, but the jade pillow was completely unscathed.
This was still just a test. Shen Luo didn't dare to use his full strength. He was afraid that the jade pillow would be smashed into pieces and something would suddenly emerge from it. But, he obviously underestimated the toughness of the jade pillow.
"Bang!" Another muffled sound was heard.
With the previous two attempts, Shen Luo didn't hold back much this time. The axe hit the jade pillow solidly. The recoil made Shen Luo's hand a little numb. At the same time, a strange sound was heard.
"It cracked …"
Shen Luo was happy. He waved his hand and hurriedly went to check it.
In the end, he saw that the jade pillow was still intact. On the contrary, there was a crack on the rock that had been exposed to the wind and sun for a long time.
"It seems that I still have to use my real strength." Shen Luo frowned slightly.
This time, he directly turned the axe and didn't hold back. He directly aimed the axe blade at the jade pillow, raised it high, and smashed it down heavily.
"Clang …"
A sound of metal hitting stone sounded, and sparks splashed on the jade pillow.
Shen Luo only felt that the web between his thumb and index finger was shaken. The axe was shaken back, and his entire palm was numb.
He turned his wrist and supported the axe on the ground with one hand. He leaned over to take a closer look, and couldn't help but be speechless.
He saw that the sharp and tough axe was curled like a knife like last time. But, there was still no mark on the jade pillow.
"What kind of damned material is this thing …" Shen Luo's eyes fell on the surface of the jade pillow again. He couldn't help but whisper.
At this moment, he was more and more sure that the strange dream of last night was certainly related to this thing.
