In the early morning, a burst of birds chirped, and a ray of morning sun squeezed through the branches of the welcoming pine, squeezed into the half-open window, and shone on the cheeks of the person on the bed.
Shen Luo's eyelids trembled slightly, he squinted and opened them a little, then immediately raised his hand to cover his eyes.
"Hiss..."
As soon as he raised his hand, a cramp-like muscle soreness immediately hit him, and his consciousness immediately woke up.
A strong panic immediately rose from the bottom of my heart, and I sat up from the bed, shrunk, and hurriedly looked around.
On the wall not far in front of me, there was a narrow table with a pile of old and worn-out books piled on it. Not far from the table, there was a window and a door. All this is so familiar and unusual.
An expression of ecstasy appeared on Shen Luo's face, and he lowered his head to look at his body again.
The clothes were intact. Although the body was sore and unbearable, there were no scratches at all. It felt like the discomfort caused by excessive exercise.
A familiar smell of damp mold mixed with sandalwood rushed into his nose, making him sneeze uncontrollably.
At this time, Shen Luo finally believed that he was in the residence of Chunqiu Guan at this moment, and not that gloomy woman.
"What happened last night was just a nightmare!" Shen Luo touched the real wooden bed under him and let out a long breath. All the scenes last night were still vivid in his mind. Time actually gave him the illusion that he felt like he was in another world.
Shen Luo raised his sleeves and wiped his forehead, only to find that his forehead and temples were soaked with sweat. Even his back was covered with moisture, and some of it stuck to his back. Very uncomfortable.
He sat on the bed for a while in a daze, only to realize that it was already past his usual time to wake up, and it seemed that even his morning practice exercises would be delayed.
"It's just a dream..." Shen Luo muttered a few words to himself, as if he wanted to forcefully convince himself, then he moved and got out of bed.
Who would have thought that his feet had just stepped on the blue cloth shoes, and as soon as he stood up with strength, he felt that his legs were weak, and he fell forward directly, and when he tried to use When he used his arms to support his body, he realized that his arms were also weak and weak, and he fell straight to the ground.
"Ouch..."
Shen Luo wailed, struggled to get up from the ground, and sat on the edge of the bed again little by little.
At this time, he noticed that something was really wrong with his body. Although his body bones were not very good to begin with, he was obviously very exhausted now.
"What on earth is going on?" He began to feel a little horrified in his heart. If he just slept briefly and had a nightmare, it would definitely not be like this.
In fact, since the Yin Qi invaded his body, Shen Luowu had nightmares. He had encountered all kinds of weird dreams. But now that he thinks about it, that feeling is different from what he felt last night. The experience was completely different.
Besides, if it was really just a dream, how could his memory of the dream be so clear and real, and how could his body be so exhausted? It was as if he had really experienced a fierce battle.
But if it is not a dream, how to explain it? Could it be that he really sleepwalked down the mountain, went to a village at the foot of the mountain, and then sleepwalked back again?
But this doesn’t make sense. Last night in that mountain village, he even lost his life. His whole body was scarred and his clothes were in tatters. He should never be like this. Like.
Thinking about this, Shen Luo's expression became gloomy and uncertain. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that what happened last night was too weird, and his head felt a little bigger.
He rubbed his brow with his hand, leaned back, and simply lay down on the bed again.
There was a "bang".
Shen Luo felt as if his head had hit something hard, and he suddenly sat up again with excitement, and turned around to take a quick look.
On the bedside, there was a long, rectangular yellow object. It was the "treasure" he had found earlier, the mysterious ancient jade pillow, and the original rattan pillow was replaced. He squeezed to the side and pressed against the wall.
Shen Luo was stunned!
Last night, he actually slept on this jade pillow all night without knowing it!
But he clearly remembered that he put this thing on the desk next to the pile of ancient books before going to bed last night. How could it end up on his bedside?
"Is it possible that...last night's nightmare has something to do with this? Or is there something unclean in this jade pillow itself?"
He remembered "The Chronicle of Master Zhang's Subduing Demons" There is a record in "Qi'an County, Lingnan Province". It is said that a scholar in Qi'an County, Lingnan Province, picked up an ancient bronze mirror by the river during a spring outing. On the back, he saw the word "Xiaoyao" written in small seals in bronze inscriptions. He thought it was some kind of antique and took it home. Hidden privately.
As a result, a female ghost was sealed in the Xiaoyao mirror. Every full moon night, she would come out of the mirror and absorb his yang energy. If Zhang Tianshi hadn't wandered here and came to rescue him, this scholar would The yang energy will be cut off, and you will die without knowing how.
When he thought of this story, Shen Luo ignored his weakness and hurriedly got out of bed, took the small wolf millet awl from the desk, reached over with the end of the pen holder, and poked it gently. Jade pillow on the bed.
The jade pillow moved back. There was no abnormal light shining on it, nor any sinister ghosts jumping out. It looked no different from ordinary things.
Shen Luo was still a little worried, so he took out a small porcelain bottle and poured some cinnabar out of it. He rubbed his hands together until the entire palm was covered, and then he carefully stretched out an index finger. He tapped the jade pillow with his fingertips.
Except for the cold touch of the jade pillow, there was still nothing unusual.
"Don't be possessed by some sinister spirit again..." Shen Luo retracted his hand, still frowning slightly, feeling a little uneasy.
He thought for a while and glanced atAfter putting on the jade pillow, he quickly walked to the door, sat cross-legged on the floor, held his Yuan in his hands, kept his mind focused, and began to silently perform the Small Yang Hua Gong.
It’s just that he was a little distracted by the dream last night. At this moment, he wanted to keep his mind calm, but he couldn’t enter meditation for a long time. It took him a full two hours to finally operate the Small Huayang Gong for a small week. sky.
The exercises run very smoothly, and the yang energy in the body fills all parts of the body.
After completing the exercise, Shen Luo slowly opened his eyes, exhaled gently, and the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
