Shen Luo gently dusted off the dust on the book. When he saw the four words "Demon Subduing Manual" written on the cover, his heart moved and he wanted to pick it up and read it, but as soon as he pressed his hand, it was already rotten. The books fell into pieces.
Seeing this situation, he could only shake his head helplessly.
Shen Luo walked out of the stone room and continued along the corridor, checking the disciples' houses along the way one by one. He found that the conditions inside were almost the same, and they seemed to be just the most beautiful buildings in Fangcun Mountain. A place where ordinary outer disciples gather.
After he left the disciples' residence, he went to the bottom of the mountain wall and entered a woodland with lush trees.
There are winding paths in the forest, and a stone path submerged in the grass extends into it.
Shenluo walked along the path inward, and along the way he saw independent courtyards scattered among them. However, most of them had collapsed and collapsed, and they were scorched black. It seemed that they had been destroyed by fire. ruins.
After walking through a dozen small courtyards in the forest, the stone path began to extend to the right, and not far from a fork in the road, I saw a relatively well-preserved courtyard.
To say that it is complete is only compared to the previous ruins. The gate of the small courtyard has also completely collapsed. Although a two-story attic inside is still standing tenaciously, there is no one on the roof. A big hole was smashed.
Shen Luo walked into the courtyard and saw only potholes and scratches everywhere on the ground. It was filled with construction debris that flew from nowhere, including beams and columns of houses and broken eaves. messy.
“From a distance, the house looks like a paradise. When you get closer, you can see that there are ruins everywhere. It is obvious that there was a tragic war many years ago, but why has nothing been seen in this half day? "A corpse? I don't know if I can find some things left by my ancestors." Shen Luo was filled with doubts and a hint of hope.
He stepped across a broken ridge of the roof, walked to the attic, and raised his hand to push open the door.
The door of the house, which had not been opened for a long time, made a soft "squeak" sound and opened inwards, bringing with it a burst of flying dust.
Shen Luo raised his hands and covered his mouth and nose and walked into the house, but saw that the furnishings were the same as before, no different from ordinary people's homes. In the middle was a narrow hall with a landscape painting hanging on the wall. The volume is rotten and broken.
There is a guest room on each side of the main room, which is equipped with beds, tables and chairs, but they are all decayed and tattered. There are also clumps of grass growing in the gaps between the green bricks on the ground, which looks very desolate and dilapidated.
Shen Luo originally wanted to look for something in the house that was described here, but he couldn't find anything.
He walked around the back of the main room and followed an old wooden ladder to the second floor of the attic.
There is only one single room on the second floor of the attic. As soon as Shen Luofang entered, he saw a bronze bell as tall as a person embedded in the floor. It looked like it was the one that made a big hole in the roof. The culprit.
He walked closer and saw a piece of text densely engraved on the body of the clock.The characters, surrounded by floral brocade patterns, looked very beautiful, so I followed these words and began to recite silently:
"The universe is covered with kindness and virtue, and the common people are benefited by it. The sun and the moon come and go, never Xianlonggong is given to the world, the Tao is renewed, the palace is constructed, the gods bless and silently support, the alliance is practiced, praying for heaven and earth to avoid disasters..."
After reading the whole article, Shen Luo understands Come here, the text engraved on the body of this clock is a Taoist prayer for blessing. Although the number of words is not many, the intention is great. The sentence "Pray for blessings for heaven and earth to prevent disasters" is enough to show its broad spirit.
When he walked around to the other side to look again, he saw a rather wide palm print sunken above the clock body. The lines on the fingertips and palm were clearly visible. He could tell at a glance that it was a large palm print. Human palm.
"Hey, what is this?"
At this moment, Shen Luo let out a strange cry, leaned over and looked at the palm print carefully. It was found that there was a white foreign object between the middle finger and index finger, which was very different from the bronze color of the clock body.
It’s just that this thing seems to have penetrated the clock body and is embedded inside. If you don’t pay attention, it will be difficult to find.
Shen Luo raised his hand and touched it, and found that the thing was a little cold to the touch, and seemed to be some kind of jade.
He pinched the tiny tail end of the white foreign object with two fingers and pulled it out with force, only to find that the exposed part of the thing was too small, so he couldn't use any force at all.
Shen Luo thought about it for a while, took a deep breath, and the Yang Gang energy in his body circulated. With a "bang" sound, a Qing Yang hand hit the bronze bell handprint, trying to use the power of his palm to Shock it out.
However, with this blow, the bell made a dull sound. Instead of shaking outward, the white foreign object shrank inward a little, almost flush with the palm print.
Shen Luo frowned slightly, raised his palm again, gathered enough strength, and struck it suddenly.
"Bang..."
Only heard a muffled sound with a slight echo, and the white foreign object that had been retracted inward was suddenly shocked by this force, like a It shot out like a short arrow.
Shen Luo had quick eyes and quick hands and grabbed it in his hand.
However, at this time, the bronze bell that had been embedded in the floor suddenly sank, directly smashing a big hole in the floor and falling into the main room on the first floor.
Smoke and dust suddenly rose in the room. Shen Luo was covered in dirt. He got up from the ground in a somewhat embarrassed manner and staggered out of the house.
As soon as he stepped out of the house, the two-story attic collapsed suddenly.
Shen Luo dusted himself off, walked to the yard, turned around and glanced at the collapsed attic, sat down on a broken ridge of the roof, spread out his palms, and looked into them.
In the middle of his palm, there was a long and narrow jade slip, about three inches long and one inch wide, as white as mutton fat. It was as smooth as silk and without any modification. It looked like nothing. Something strange.
But Shen Luo felt that this object was probably deliberately embedded in the bronze bell and knocked down here.The edge is obviously something he cherishes, and it absolutely cannot be just an ordinary object.
"Could it be a magic weapon?" He thought secretly in his mind, and the magic power in the Dantian in his body had already been turned around, flowing into the jade slip along the meridians on his hand.
The moment the magic power came into the white jade slip, the inside of it fluoresced and became more transparent.
But after waiting for a long time, the jade slip was still the same, without any other changes. There was neither the slightest mana fluctuation coming from it nor any reaction when the magic weapon was driven.
When Shen Luo saw this situation, he still didn't give up. He immediately sat down cross-legged, put the jade slip in his hands, and silently recited the Nine-Nine Treasure Refining Techniques in his heart.
However, after a lot of trouble, the jade slip still did not change at all, and it did not respond at all to the treasure refining technique.
"Is it really just an ordinary thing?" Shen Luo looked disappointed and said depressedly.
After thinking for a moment, he suddenly remembered something, slapped his forehead, and then a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
