When Shen Luo returned to Songfan County, it was a little later than the previous day, and the city gate was closed again.
"It seems that I really don't get along with Songfan County." Shen Luo laughed at himself, turned his horse around and went to the nearby town.
Because of the coma the previous day, the inns in the town naturally remembered Shen Luo and avoided him like a plague, not to mention soliciting business.
Shen Luo didn't care about this, but he was relieved.
It seemed that Liu Baichuan and Shopkeeper Hou didn't reveal his identity. After all, this trip was hidden from everyone. Now that he had found an opportunity, if he was too ostentatious, it would be difficult to guarantee that it wouldn't spread back to Chunhua County or the Spring and Autumn Temple, which would cause unnecessary trouble.
Shen Luo urged his horse to the previous small inn, and the one in front of the door was still Xiao Sanzi.
"Young Master Shen, you come to stay in the inn again. Welcome!" Xiao Sanzi saw Shen Luo, and his eyes lit up. He stepped forward and took the reins attentively.
Shen Luo nodded, turned over and dismounted. He handed the reins to Xiao Sanzi and walked into the inn.
The business in the inn was still very quiet, and there were only a few people sitting in the lobby.
"Young Master Shen, we are honored by your presence. Your presence brings light to my humble shop!" Shopkeeper Hou was calculating the accounts in the inn. When he saw Shen Luo's figure, his face showed uncontrollable joy. He immediately put down the account book and greeted him.
"Shopkeeper Hou is too polite. Arrange a quiet room for me." Shen Luo said calmly.
"No problem. Young Master, come with me. Xiao Sanzi, you take care of this place. " Shopkeeper Hou promised and led the way in front, which made the guests in the lobby quite surprised. They whispered to each other and guessed the identity of Shen Luo.
The two passed through a corridor in the back hall of the inn and came to the innermost room.
In the courtyard in front of this room, there was a lush banyan tree facing the window. The banyan tree was tall and lush, casting a large shadow that enveloped the entire room, giving people a sense of tranquility.
"This room is very far from the street outside. It is very quiet and the decoration inside is also the best in the store. What do you think?" Shopkeeper Hou said as he pushed open the door and invited Shen Luo inside.
The furnishings in the room were all made of mahogany, with dragons and phoenixes carved on them. The room had an antique feel, and it was indeed much more high-end than the room he had stayed in before.
"Yes, this is it." Shen Luo didn't care about the furnishings inside. Seeing that this place was indeed remote and quiet, he nodded.
"Young Master, how many days do you plan to stay in the store this time?" Shopkeeper Hou rubbed his hands in delight when he saw that Shen Luo was satisfied.
"Maybe two or three days. If I don't give the order, don't let the servants come over to serve me. Also, please don't tell anyone else about my identity and the fact that I'm here, including Liu Baichuan, "Shen Luo added after thinking for a while.
"Young Master, don't worry. I don't have any other skills, but my mouth is absolutely tight. Moreover, Doctor Liu has gone out to see a patient. It is estimated that he won't be back for a few days, "Shopkeeper Hou patted his chest as he heard these words.
"That's good," Shen Luo said.
"Young Master, you look travel-worn. You must be very tired. Please take a rest first. I'll ask the servants to send you dinner later," Shopkeeper Hou said.
"You don't have to send me dinner. I want to rest early," Shen Luo waved his hand and said.
His Small Yang Art had reached the consummation stage, and the Yang energy in his body was abundant. His whole body was full of vigor, and he didn't feel sleepy or hungry at all. However, he obviously wouldn't tell this to an outsider.
"Well, Young Master, please rest early. I won't disturb you," Shopkeeper Hou nodded with a smile. He then took his leave and closed the door behind him.
Shen Luo was quite surprised by Shopkeeper Hou's enthusiasm. However, he didn't think that there was anything wrong with it. He could only attribute it to his little reputation in Chun Hua County. Therefore, he didn't think much about it.
He waited until the footsteps of Shopkeeper Hou had gone far away. He immediately locked the door from the back and locked the window from the inside to ensure that no one could come in. Then, he sat back on the bed and impatiently took out the stone box. He opened it and took out the leather book.
As soon as he picked up the book, he suddenly let out a soft cry of surprise. He turned the book over and looked at the end of the book.
There were obvious traces of tearing at the back of the last page.
He had only been looking at the ancient seal characters in the book. Therefore, he didn't pay attention to this.
"Could it be that this book is only half of the book?" Shen Luo frowned slightly.
However, he did not dwell on this matter too much. Half was half then. Since he had only found this half, it meant that Zhou Zi, who became "Heavenly Master Yu" in the end, should have only obtained this half.
Shen Luo calmed himself down. He started to read the book from the first page. He read the book word by word. He wanted to understand the contents of the book.
Time passed little by little. In the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed.
Shen Luo frowned as she lifted her head from the book. Suddenly, she sighed and threw the book onto the bed. Her body sprawled out on the bed.
Although he wanted to understand the characters in the book, he knew too little of the ancient seal characters. He could only recognize four or five characters on a page.
According to his understanding, this ancient seal character was very ancient and very difficult to understand. He had only seen sporadic records of it in some miscellaneous records. If he didn't know the characters, it was impossible to interpret it with his imagination. With his level of knowledge, wanting to understand the mystery of the book was tantamount to a fool's dream.
"Do I have to learn the ancient seal characters first?" Shen Luo secretly thought.
But where could he learn it in such a short time? At least when he was in Chun Hua County, he had never heard of any great scholar in the city who could understand the ancient seal characters.
Even if he could find someone who could understand the characters, the contents of the book could be leaked. After all, it was a good thing for cultivation. Anyone who saw it would inevitably have some selfish thoughts.
After thinking for a while, he still couldn't think of a safe way.
"I don't know how the 'Heavenly Master Yu' solved this problem. He was a boat on the river. He shouldn't have understood the ancient seal characters. "
"Forget it. At worst, I will spend a year and a half to find a way to learn the ancient seal characters. In any case, my Minor Yang Art has already reached perfection. So, I can afford to waste this little bit of time … "Shen Luo sat up and grabbed the leather scroll. But then, his hand paused, and a trace of vigilance flashed in his eyes.
