After Shen Luo thought for a while, he wrapped the jade pillow with cotton cloth and walked into a forest not far away. He began to gather hay and dead wood branches in the forest, set up a large pile of firewood, and covered the surrounding ground. After the vegetation was cleaned up, the jade pillow wrapped in cotton cloth was put on.
His idea was simple. Since the jade pillow could not be broken with an axe, he would try to burn it with a big fire.
The fire attack he used last time was, firstly, too weak in firepower, and secondly, the time was too short.
This time, it must be heated like a big pot. Anyway, ancient books say that most sinister things are afraid of flames. If there is really something weird in it, maybe it can be burned if it burns for a longer time.
Shen Luo took out a fire stick from his arms, pulled off the lid of the tube, put it to his mouth and blew it a few times. Dots of scarlet flames immediately appeared inside, and a wisp of green smoke floated with it. out.
Just when he leaned down and was about to light the firewood, something suddenly occurred to him and he took out another small porcelain bottle from his sleeve pocket.
"If there is really evil hiding, it would be safer to use some cinnabar..." Shen Luo murmured, unplugged the bottle cork, poured some red powder from the bottle, and poured it along the firewood. The cracks in the grass spilled onto the cotton bag.
Then he lit the firewood with a fire stick.
As bursts of smoke rose, flames gradually rose around the jade pillow, and waves of heat came from it.
Shen Luo looked up at the sky and saw that the surrounding trees were densely covered and the fire was very strong. There was not much smoke coming out, so there was no need to worry about attracting the attention of the brothers in the temple.
The dry firewood for the fire was mostly pine branches, which already contained a lot of oil. When it burned, it made a "piper" sound. Shen Luo squatted aside with his hands and knees, and kept adding firewood to the fire. Afraid of not having enough firepower.
Soon, the layer of cotton cloth was burned to ashes, and the jade pillow inside was naturally exposed, but there was no trace of burning at all, not even blackening, and it still remained intact. The original dark yellow color.
Shen Luo was not in a hurry. While continuing to add firewood, he carefully recalled what happened in the dream, hoping to see if he could find some clues from it, such as the place in the dream. Where can it be?
However, he thought about that experience several times, and finally found no valuable clues.
After half an hour, Shen Luo felt that his whole face was a little dry due to the flames. He had used up all the firewood he could pick up within a dozen feet, and then he finally Eventually the fire was extinguished.
He took a reserved fire stick and pushed away the ashes of vegetation that still had glowing embers. The exposed jade pillow was covered with ashes, and the original appearance could no longer be seen clearly.
Seeing this, Shen Luo felt more expectant in his heart. He picked up the ax again and smashed it on the jade pillow.
There was a muffled sound!
The force he hit was so strong that his arms were numb from the shock, but the jade pillow was completely unharmed, except that some of the ashes on the surface were smashed away, and then some of the ashes were knocked off.The original color is revealed.
Shen Luo sighed, no longer feeling any surprise in his heart.
He used a fire stick to pull out the jade pillow bit by bit, and blew off the ashes on the pillow. He saw that the jade pillow had not changed at all from before, and no trace of burning was left on the surface. .
Shen Luo frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he tentatively moved the jade pillow with his fingertips.
As expected, it’s still cold? After being burned by the flames for half an hour, the jade pillow was still as cool as ever and did not heat up at all.
Even if it is a stubborn stone that has been burned for so long, there is no way it can be so cool. Isn't it too weird?
When Shen Luo thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his back, and he couldn't help but look up at the sky.
The sun was shining brightly, and he felt a little more at ease.
He circled around the jade pillow a few times, and then tried touching it in the middle and on several side corners. The result was that the touch was the same as before.
"The knife and ax cannot be cut, and the fire is not hot. Is it possible that it is the magic weapon that Bai Xiaotian mentioned when he was drunk?" Shen Luo said to himself with an uncertain expression on his face.
If this jade pillow can really make people have such real nightmares, maybe it is the kind of artifact with strange magical power mentioned in ancient books, and maybe this Yuan Stone can make some changes in it. .
As for the "little thunder talisman" that led him to find the jade pillow, there was no time to make it in the past few days because the materials were exhausted.
After thinking about this, Shen Luo fumbled around in his sleeve pocket and took out the remaining Yuan Stone as if he had made up his mind.
But when he held the Yuan Stone in his hands, he hesitated again. This Yuan Stone is worth a lot of money and hard to get. There is only one piece left. Do you really want to use it here?
"That's it, it's just a piece of Yuan Stone. No matter how precious it is, it's more precious than your own life."
After making up his mind, Shen Luo placed the Yuan Stone on the jade pillow. After adjusting his breathing, he began to silently perform the Small Yang Hua Gong.
After a while, a trace of heat flowed on his arm, slowly converging on the palm of his hand, and finally slowly condensed into a faint red thread less than three inches long, showing through the palm of his hand.
When his palm slowly came closer, the faint red threads flowed into the Yuan Stone on the jade pillow bit by bit.
The Yuan Stone immediately lit up with a faint blush, beginning to reveal a somewhat crystal clear feel, and the cluster of white gas inside also began to roll violently.
Shen Luo stepped back a few steps, swallowed, and stared at Yuan Shi and Jade Pillow nervously.
A "click" sound came, and the Yuan Stone shattered, and a ball of white light came out from inside, covering the entire jade pillow, making its outline a little blurry. stand up.
However, this change only lasted for a moment, and the white light dissipated in a flash, leaving the jade pillow intact.
Shen Luo is completely at his wits end.
He absent-mindedly buried the embers of the fire and cleaned up other remaining traces nearby. He hesitated in place for a long time before sighing, picking up the jade pillow and leaving the woods.
Half an hour later.
Shen Luo appeared in front of the mountain wall where the jade pillow was found in the past, and the small cave entrance was opened again.
"No matter what weirdness you have, it is considered that I have disturbed your purity. Now I will send you back, let's say goodbye, and we will not disturb each other in the future." Shen Luo said. While muttering, he put the jade pillow back into the cave.
It’s not that he hasn’t thought about it, he could just find a deep pool or a cliff and throw the jade pillow down. It’s just that there is a sentence mentioned in the ancient books he read in the past: “Keep a respectful distance from ghosts and gods.” .
Shen Luo was worried that if such unexplainable things were really involved, if he threw them away hastily, it might cause even greater trouble.
This jade pillow was originally dug out here, and now it can be considered as returned to its original place.
He gathered the surrounding stones and buried the entrance of the cave. Seeing that there were obvious traces there, he pulled some vines from the shade under the tree in the distance and covered the entrance of the cave again.
After doing all this, he stood up and patted the dirt on his hands, took a deep breath, and turned around and walked back as if a heavy burden had been lifted.
Night.
Although Shen Luo was still a little worried, he felt sleepy early after a day of hard work. Before going to bed, he took out all the talismans he had written before and posted them all over the house.
When he lay on the bed, he fell into a deep sleep before he could think about it for a moment.
