"Heavenly Book, I haven't found the Heavenly Book yet!"
Shen Luo suddenly slapped his head. He finally remembered the most important purpose of this trip and quickly jumped back onto the small boat.
The things on the boat were all piled up at the back of the cabin. All the ceramic jars and bottles were smashed. Even the short square table had one leg broken.
After Shen Luo moved the table away, he found the stone box under a pile of fishing nets.
The stone box was still in its original half-open state. After Shen Luo picked it up and gently pushed it, the lid of the box was opened. Inside, there was a bamboo tube that was about a foot long and a thick yellow ancient book.
The bamboo tube was only as thick as an arm and only had two bamboo joints. It was completely green and looked as if it had just been cut off not long ago. The ancient book was slightly rolled into a tube and placed under the bamboo tube.
"Heavenly Book?"
Shen Luo's eyes lit up. Just as he was about to reach out to take the ancient book, he suddenly remembered that he had rashly opened the stone box and released the ghost skull. He quickly withdrew his hand and opened his bag. He took out a few talismans that he had drawn a long time ago and stuck them on his chest and arms.
These talismans included exorcism talismans, exorcism talismans, and even two safety talismans. He wasn't sure if they would be effective or not, but it was better than nothing.
However, being cautious was one thing. Shen Luo wasn't too worried.
There was no other reason. Heaven Master Yu was an ordinary person. If he could safely obtain the Nameless Heavenly Book, then there shouldn't be any fatal danger.
It was just that when Yu Yan talked about the past, he spoke too roughly. He didn't know if it was because he was drunk or if Heaven Master Yu didn't tell his descendants everything. He didn't mention the skeleton and the bamboo tube at all.
After Shen Luo stuck another Ghost Warding Talisman on the back of his right hand, he finally slowly stretched out his hand and carefully grabbed the rolled up ancient book. He then took it out.
When he held the ancient book, he didn't even dare to use too much strength. He was afraid that this ancient book would be crushed into pieces if he wasn't careful.
However, when his palm came into contact with the ancient book, he discovered that it was not a paper book, but a tough and sturdy leather scroll.
But then, an even stranger scene appeared.
The book, which was originally only two inches long, suddenly flashed with a white light the moment it left the stone box. In an instant, it doubled in size. The rolled up pages also unfolded one after another, turning into a square book that was four inches long and wide.
Shen Luo was shocked when he saw this. He didn't know what was going on for a while. He held the ancient book that had suddenly become bigger. He looked back and forth between the stone box and the leather scroll.
"This …"
With some hesitation in his heart, he placed the ancient book to the side and took out the green bamboo tube.
The bamboo tube was originally only a foot long, but the moment it left the stone box, a white light flashed and it immediately grew three times its original size, becoming three feet long. It was quite heavy to hold in one's hand.
Shen Luo gently shook the bamboo tube. Gurgling sounds could be heard from the inside, and the faint sound of flowing liquid could be heard.
The bamboo tube in front of him was obviously much bigger than the stone box in terms of volume.
"It's so big … How did it fit in?" Shen Luo frowned and secretly muttered to himself.
After that, he suspiciously put the bamboo tube in his hand closer to the stone box and wanted to put it back.
The moment the bamboo tube approached the stone box, it was pulled by a soft invisible force. Under a white light, it shrank by three times and became a foot long, lying in the stone box.
"This stone box … Is it also a treasure?" Shen Luo's heart was excited.
He hurriedly put the bamboo tube next to the leather book, turned around and pulled out the short square table with broken legs.
He grabbed the two legs of the square table with both hands and carried it upside down to the stone box. He wanted to see if this ordinary square table could be put in the stone box in addition to the two things that were originally in the stone box.
As a result, when the sharp corner of the square table was just close to the stone box, the white light once again penetrated through the opening of the box. The soft invisible force followed and pulled the table out of his hands, and put it into the stone box.
Shen Luo hurriedly went over to take a look and saw that the square table was lying in the stone box with its three legs facing the sky. It had shrunk many times and was only the size of a palm.
Seeing this, Shen Luo's eyes became even more pleasantly surprised. He jumped down from the boat in two or three steps, and picked up a round stone the size of a human head from the rocky beach. He then carried it back and put it into the stone box.
Then, he took the bamboo pole used to prop the boat and put it into the stone box. It was also shrunk and put into the stone box.
Shen Luo tried to put all the odds and ends next to him, such as the pottery jar, the tiles, the fishing net, the hatchet, and so on. Without exception, all of them could be put into the stone box.
"It seems that other ordinary things can also be shrunk and put into the stone box as long as they are put into the box." Shen Luo held the stone box with both hands and looked around in front of his eyes. He still felt that it was incredible.
This stone box could not only shrink things that were several times larger than itself, but also store them in a certain proportion. Its weight did not change at all.
Moreover, Shen Luo compared the shrinkage of different objects and found that it seemed that the larger the original size of the object, the larger the proportion of its shrinkage when it was put into the stone box.
However, he had no way to verify the final size of the stone box.
"With such a magical function, I'm afraid it is not a legendary magic device, right?" Shen Luo was shocked when this idea came into his mind.
Magic device? That was something that only the Abbey Dean, Immortal Feng Yang, and the mysterious grandmaster who was in seclusion could have.
He really did not expect that this trip to find the Heavenly Book would bring him so many unexpected surprises!
But on second thought, if he had not accidentally picked up that strange jade pillow and dreamt of a thousand years in the future, it would be impossible for him to know about the existence of the Nameless Heavenly Book from Yu Yan. He would probably still be practicing hard in the Abbey, trying to save his life.
For the first time, Shen Luo felt that being haunted by the nightmare of the jade pillow did not seem to be a bad thing.
His thoughts drifted for a while before he came back to his senses. He cleared out the miscellaneous items that he had put into the stone box one by one. Then, he picked up the yellowed book and started to read it.
This ancient book was just as Yu Yan had said. Its outer cover was empty and there was no name written on it. It was most likely because of this that its ancestors called it the "Nameless Heavenly Book".
Shen Luo flipped through a few pages and could not help but frown.
It was not that there was anything wrong with the contents of the book, but that the words in the ancient book were all very ancient silver seal characters. Shen Luo had read many ancient books, but he could not recognize many of them.
After reading for a while, he could not figure out anything. He could only give up and put the ancient book back into the stone box.
"Pa …"
At this time, a soft sound suddenly came from beside him.
Shen Luo hurriedly lowered her head to take a look. She discovered that the bamboo tube beside her had been blown away by the wind that gradually rose from the river in the evening. It had rolled a little and hit a wooden board at the side.
He bent down and picked up the bamboo tube. Just as he was about to study it carefully, a crisp sound came from the top.
The top of the bamboo tube cracked open for no reason. A yellow liquid spurted out from it and went straight to Shen Luo's face!
