Shen Luo quickly put the book in his hand on the bed and quietly walked to the door. After unlocking the door, he opened it slightly and looked outside. The long and narrow corridor was quiet and no one was walking around.
He scratched his head and locked the door again. Then, he went to the windowsill and opened the window. The green banyan tree in the courtyard suddenly came into view. Apart from that, there was no one else.
"What's going on? I clearly heard someone talking just now …" Shen Luo muttered to himself as he closed the window.
Just moments ago, he'd heard a resounding voice by his ears, and it seemed to be chanting something like 'What is wrong is straight.' It reverberated in his mind like a great bell, and it caused his mind to be dazed for an instant.
"Could it be that I've been too tired these past few days, and I'm having auditory hallucinations?" Shen Luo rubbed his eyebrows and returned to the bedside. Then, he reached out and picked up the half-rolled book on the bed again.
At this time, a voice sounded in his ear again.
"Qu Zequan …"
The voice was still loud and clear, and it was deafening.
Shen Luo only felt a buzzing sound in his head. His two hands subconsciously covered his ears, and the book in his hand fell to the ground.
He maintained this posture and stood motionless. His eyes were fixed on the half-rolled book on the ground.
Shen Luo swallowed a mouthful of saliva after a long while. Then, he squatted down, and cautiously extended his right index finger. He then touched the cover of the book. However, there was no change to the cover of the book. In fact, he didn't hear any sound.
"Strange … Could it be that it didn't come from this book?" Shen Luo's mouth twitched.
While thinking, he used two fingers to clamp the cover of the book. Then, he lifted the book and repeatedly looked at it in front of his eyes.
This book was no different from an ordinary book except for the almost unrecognizable silver ancient seal characters.
"Could it be that the ghostly thing that suddenly appeared has attached itself to this book?" Shen Luo thought of something and felt a chill in his heart. His left hand subconsciously touched his right arm.
However, after he had fainted for a while, his Minor Yang Art had somehow reached perfection. It seemed to have something to do with this ghost head. Furthermore, other than feeling a little hot after waking up, he didn't feel anything wrong with his body.
Thinking of this, Shen Luo felt a little relieved. He held the book in his left hand, while his right hand subconsciously tried to brush off the dust on the pages.
As a result, when he swept his fingers across the book, a series of voices rang out in his mind again. "Not self-destructing, therefore meritorious service … Speak of nature …"
His pupils suddenly shrank, and his right hand stopped moving. He stared blankly at the place where his three fingers touched, and surprisingly, there were three silver ancient seal characters.
"Could it be …"
Shen Luo thought to himself. He took a deep breath, and the three fingers on his right hand moved an inch away from the book, and then dropped down again.
"Naturally."
This time, the expression on Shen Luo's face was no longer one of apprehension, but of joy.
"So that's how it is, that's how it is! I know, no wonder, no wonder … "Shen Luo couldn't help but reveal a smile of realization.
It turned out that the Nameless Heavenly Book could be read by touch. It was no wonder that an ordinary sailor like "Heavenly Master Yu" could read it without a teacher. He didn't need to know any ancient seal characters, he just needed to touch it.
After understanding how to read the book, Shen Luo couldn't wait to start reading from the beginning, and his finger pressed on the first character.
This ancient seal character was one of the few characters he knew. It was the character "Fu". As soon as his finger touched it, the word "Fu" flashed past his ears.
Shen Luo nodded slightly, and his finger immediately moved to read the second character.
As a result, his finger had just moved over ten words when he suddenly felt a wave of dizziness, and his body swayed unconsciously.
He shook his head, thinking that he was just tired, and wanted to continue to touch the next character. However, as soon as he touched it, he felt the world spin, and his vision turned black.
Shen Luo hurriedly held onto the edge of the bed to prevent himself from falling.
This time, not only did he not hear anything, but he felt a sharp pain in his head.
Shen Luo didn't dare to be negligent. He quickly placed the Heavenly Book on the bed, closed his eyes, and sat cross-legged.
He was proficient in medicine, and after thinking for a while, he knew that the symptoms just now were caused by the exhaustion of his spiritual energy.
According to Yu Yan, the essence, energy, and spirit of the human body were one, and they complemented each other. Now that his spiritual energy was exhausted, he should be able to speed up the recovery of his spiritual energy by activating the Minor Yang Conversion Art.
Shen Luo's body quickly became hot, as if he was soaking in hot water. His blood and Qi flowed faster, and his face became red.
Sure enough, as soon as he activated the art, the pain in his head immediately eased.
He breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to activate the art.
"It seems that reading in this way is not bad, but it consumes too much spiritual energy." After a quarter of an hour, Shen Luo opened his eyes and thought to himself.
Although he said so, he didn't hesitate. He picked up the book again, and through the sliding of his fingers on the pages, he deciphered a dozen words. He didn't stop until he felt dizzy again, and then he sat down to adjust his breathing.
"The Heavenly Way is formless. The Heavenly Way is formless. It divides Yin and Yang, and then gives birth to all things. If people want to live forever, they need to refine Yin into Yang, and refine mortals into saints. Only then can they gradually enter the True Way …"
This was the first small paragraph of words that Shen Luo understood after repeated meditation three times.
Judging from this passage of text, it was very likely that this leather scroll recorded a cultivation method.
At this moment, Shen Luo was completely sure that this book was the Nameless Heavenly Book that Yu Yan spoke of. There was no mistake!
Shen Luo took a deep breath, and when he exhaled, his eyes had returned to normal.
Now was not the time to be excited. It was more important to finish deciphering this half of the Nameless Heavenly Book. However, this would be an extremely long process.
At this moment, he glanced at the stone box beside him from the corner of his eye, and a touch of emerald green reflected in his eyes.
It was the emerald green bamboo tube that had a crack on it.
This stone box and the leather scroll were both mystical objects. If the emerald green bamboo tube was placed together with them, maybe it was also a treasure?
Thinking of this, Shen Luo stretched out his hand and took out the bamboo tube. He carefully observed it, and weighed it in his hand. He found that it was no different from an ordinary bamboo tube.
He got up and took the scissors next to the oil lamp beside the bed, and lightly scratched the bamboo tube.
With a "chi la" sound, a mark was immediately scratched on the bamboo tube.
He hurriedly stopped, and his brows furrowed.
This emerald green bamboo tube was actually so fragile. Could it be an ordinary object?
