That thing felt like sackcloth, and its outline was also like a round sackcloth bag. The inside was uneven, and it seemed to contain a lot of things.
"Could it be the Heavenly Book?" Shen Luo's heart moved, and he quickly grabbed the corner of the sackcloth bag, trying to pull it out.
Yu Yan did not say what the Heavenly Book looked like at that time, so maybe it was in this bag.
However, the hole at the bottom of the river was only the size of a bowl, but the sackcloth bag inside was bulging, and it seemed to be the size of a small urn. It was firmly stuck inside, and there was no way to take it out.
Shen Luo tried several times, but he still could not do anything.
At this time, his breath was exhausted again, and he could only float to the surface again.
Shen Luo lay on the river reef, his chest rising and falling violently, but his eyes could not hide the excitement, and he could even hear the rapid beating of his heart.
Previously, when he saw Yu Yan, he was seventy to eighty percent sure that what Yu Yan said in the dream was not false.
And now, this opportunity seemed to be only one step away from him, how could this not make him excited?
This time, after Shen Luo took a breath, he did not immediately dive into the water, but instead climbed up the rocky beach and returned to the cabin.
After a while, he carried a two-foot-long black iron rod in his hand, jumped off the bow, and dived into the water again.
After Shen Luo found the narrow hole, he inserted the iron rod in his hand into the hole, carefully avoiding the things inside, and then he began to pry back and forth.
The river reef was huge, and its weight was naturally extraordinary. Shen Luo certainly did not think of prying the whole thing, he just wanted to expand the hole by prying back and forth, and then take out the things inside.
A slight friction sound continuously sounded under the water, and Shen Luo's movements brought up the sand, which kept floating up, forcing him to close his eyes tightly, and only after a while could he open them to take a look.
Although the river reef had been eroded by the flowing water for a long time, its sturdiness was still beyond Shen Luo's expectations. He spent a lot of effort prying for a while, but he could only slightly expand the hole, and when he put his hand in, he still could not stretch his fingers.
However, although Shen Luo was anxious, when he thought that there might be the "Nameless Heavenly Book" inside, he was full of enthusiasm. Every time he floated to the surface, he only took a few breaths, and then immediately dived back into the water.
Hard work paid off, and after spending more than an hour, he finally expanded the hole by a few times.
When his hand tightly grabbed the sack and pulled it out, his hand could not help but tremble slightly, and his heart was also silently praying, it was the Heavenly Book, it must be the Heavenly Book..
After Shen Luo pulled out the sackcloth bag, he realized that it was quite heavy. He didn't even look at it and immediately floated upwards.
After he climbed up to the rocky shore, he did not untie the rope on his body, and just sat down on the river reef behind him, soaking wet. He gasped for air, and his hand tightly clutched the sack.
After Shen Luo regained his strength, he turned his head to look, and only then did he realize that the thing in his hand was not a sack at all.
The reason why this sack had a rough texture like linen when he touched it was because it was woven with some kind of metal thread, and it was covered with mud and algae. The originally golden color had also become very dim.
The sack's mouth was tied with a golden rope, and there was a palm-sized piece of gold leaf hanging from it. Shen Luo took it down, and wiped the mud on it with his right hand, only to discover that there were actually words engraved on it.
He could not help but swallow his saliva, and nervously looked at the somewhat blurred words on it.
"Imperial edict …"
Shen Luo could not be more familiar with the two words at the top of the gold leaf. It was the two words that he usually used when he drew talismans. This gold leaf seemed to be a talisman too?
However, the engravings of the characters below "Imperial edict" had become very faint. He could neither see nor recognize them.
Shen Luo casually put the gold leaf talisman into his sleeve, and began to untie the golden rope that was wrapped around the sack's mouth.
After the golden rope was taken off, the sack's mouth was opened.
Shen Luo looked inside, and suddenly felt his scalp go numb. In the bag woven with gold thread, there was a pile of white bones!
"These are human bones …" Shen Luo recognized at a glance.
After pausing for a moment, he endured the discomfort in his heart, and poured out all the bones in the sack.
When he saw the scattered bones, Shen Luo finally gave up. There was no Heavenly Book in here at all.
However, when his gaze fell on these bones, he could not help but exclaim softly. He used the iron drill in his hand to poke at them and take a closer look.
At this time, he noticed that there were few intact bones. Almost all of them were smashed open, and some teeth marks of different depths could be seen on them. It was as if someone had chewed on the bones and sucked the marrow out of them.
When he thought of such a picture, Shen Luo could not help but feel a chill down his spine.
After hesitating for a while, he took out a rag from the cabin, picked up the broken bones on the ground one by one, and put them back into the sack.
Just in the process of picking up, he found another strange thing. There was no skull in this pile of human bones.
However, Shen Luo did not have the intention to investigate this in detail. He just felt a little unlucky. He did not find the Heavenly Book, but found such a pile of things.
After picking up the bones, he also found a few broken wooden beads in the crevices of the rocks. They were extremely rotten, and turned into dregs with a touch.
"The dead should be respected. It can be considered fate that I was able to find you. I will build a grave for you here. May you be able to pass on smoothly." Shen Luo had always attached great importance to the matters of ghosts and gods. He could not just throw away these bones.
Soon, he dug out a stone pit in the middle of the rocky beach, and put the bag of bones in it. Then, he filled it with rocks, and built a grave that was slightly higher than the surrounding area.
After finishing all of this, the sky had already darkened.
Shen Luo only felt a sense of weariness. He lay down on the rocky beach with his hands behind his head, and looked at the gorgeous sunset on the horizon, lost in thought.
"Finding this Nameless Heavenly Book is really not easy."
This rocky beach wasn't big, but it wasn't small either. He was exhausted today and only managed to search the bottom of the river around the reef. If he wanted to search the entire rocky beach, he was afraid that three days wouldn't be enough.
He might even have to rent a small boat with Yu Dadan and his wife for a few more days.
"After all, it is an Immortal Heavenly Book. How could it be so easy to get it?" Shen Luo thought about it, and felt somewhat relieved.
However, at this moment, he suddenly thought of something, and sat up abruptly.
This Heavenly Book was an Immortal treasure, and that jade pillow did not seem to be simple either. Since he could find the jade pillow with a "Pseudo Little Thunder Talisman", why couldn't he try to use it again this time? Even if it was not very useful, it could be used to illuminate underwater!
It was a pity that he had three Little Thunder Talismans on him.
Thinking of this, Shen Luo hurriedly untied the rope on his body, and wanted to row the boat upstream.
Unfortunately, as soon as he stood up, his eyes darkened, and his legs could not help but tremble. He had no choice but to climb back to the boat, drink some water, take a Vitality Protection Pill, and change into a clean set of clothes. After resting for a while, he began to row the boat back.
When he finally returned to the ferry, the sky was already dark. Yu Dadan and his wife were waiting there, and their expressions seemed to be somewhat worried. However, when they saw that although Shen Luo's face was full of exhaustion, he had finally returned safely, both of them sighed in relief.
Shen Luo stopped for a while, and said that he would come back tomorrow. Then, he rode his horse and went straight to Songfan County.
