Big dreamer

After Shen Luo thought about it 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 tree branches in the forest, set up a large pile of firewood, and cleared the surrounding ground vegetation. After cleaning, the jade pillow wrapped in cotton was put on.

His idea was simple. Since the jade pillow couldn't be broken with an axe, he would try to burn it with a big fire.

The fire break 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 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 cork, poured some red powder from the bottle, and sprinkled it along the cracks in the firewood. Wrap in cotton cloth.

Then, he lit the firewood with a fire stick.

As bursts of smoke rose, flames gradually burst into flames around the jade pillow, and waves of heat came from it.

Shen Luo raised his head and glanced at the sky. He saw that the surrounding trees were densely covered and the fire was very strong. There was not much smoke coming out. 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 grease, and made a "piper" sound when burning. Shen Luo squatted aside with his hands and knees, constantly adding firewood to the fire, for fear of insufficient 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 maintained its original dark-yellow color.

Shen Luo was not in a hurry, and continued to add firewood while carefully recalling what happened in the dream, hoping to see if he could find some clues from it, such as where the place in the dream was. a place.

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 before finally extinguishing the fire.

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, picked up the ax again, and smashed it towards the jade pillow.

There was a muffled sound!

He hit it with such force 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, revealing its original color.

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 compared to 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.

Sure enough, 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?

Thinking of this, Shen Luo couldn't help but feel a chill in his back, and couldn't help but look up at the sky.

Seeing the bright sun shining brightly, 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 won't cut open, and the fire won't heat it up. Could it be 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 it change.

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.

As soon as he thought of 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 very valuable and hard to obtain. There is only one piece left. Do you really want to use it here?

"That's all, it's just a piece of Yuan Stone. No matter how precious it is, it's more valuable than your own life."

After making up his mind, Shen Luo placed the Yuan Stone on the jade pillow, adjusted his breathing, and began to silently operate the Small Yang Hua Gong.

After a moment, a trace of heat flowed on his arm, slowly converging on his palm, 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 little by little.

A faint blush immediately lit up on the Yuan Stone, and it began to show a somewhat crystal clear feeling, and the cluster of white gas inside also began to roll violently.

Shen Luo took a few steps away, swallowed, and stared at Yuan Shi and Jade Pillow nervously.

There was a "click" sound, and the Yuan Stone shattered, and a ball of white light emerged from it, covering the entire jade pillow, making its outline a little blurry.

However, this change only lasted for a moment, and the white light dissipated in a flash, leaving the jade pillow intact.

Shen Luo was completely at his wits' end.

He absentmindedly buried the embers of the fire and cleaned up the remaining traces nearby. He hesitated 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, I have disturbed your purity. Now I will send you back. Let's say goodbye and not disturb each other in the future." Shen Luo muttered in his mouth while putting the jade pillow Put it back in the hole.

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 the ancient books he read in the past mentioned a sentence: "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 up the surrounding stones and buried the entrance of the cave. Seeing that the traces there were obvious, 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.

at night.

Although Shen Luo was still a little worried, he felt sleepy early after a hard day's 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.
