Chapter 20: The Black Book
It was a huge monster, and Luo Song could see it clearly, and it was speeding in his direction.
Luo Song's heart was shocked, and many pictures flashed in his mind, as if he understood something at once.
The old man was repeatedly convinced that Xianmen was related to him, and it was by no means groundless, and what he learned from Wu Kun before that Xianmen led to another world, after he woke up, he came here inexplicably, could it be that this is the world behind Xianmen.
If it is, then this is the world of ancient myths and legends, where anything is possible, and what is so strange about the appearance of a monster as huge as a mountain?
Of course, he was right in his heart, but this was not the time for him to think and guess, because according to the speed of that monster, I am afraid that it would not be a few minutes before he would come here, and with the huge size of the monster, he would definitely be able to trample him into meat sauce with one kick.
Run!
This thought came to Luo Song's mind, but he immediately rejected it, after all, compared to the speed of a monster, it was simply the speed of a turtle and an airplane, and there was no comparison at all.
He looked around, and then he realized that there was a forest at the back of the valley, and since the monster appeared here, it was no accident, it should be the field of its activity.
Judging by the monster's sheer size, if you want to destroy the woods, there won't be any vegetation here.
That's right, that's it!
Luo Song seemed to have caught something, and hurriedly ran towards the woods behind the valley, after all, if you want to survive without being trampled to death, you must hide in the woods, otherwise it will definitely be a dead end.
When he rushed into the woods and had just climbed a big tree, he immediately felt the tree tremble.
He knew that it was not the trees that were moving, but that the monster was running, causing the ground near him to tremble, like an earthquake, and gradually become intense, and he seemed to feel that the whole sky was going to fall.
The fear was indescribable, after all, it had never seen such a large creature, and just seeing it from a very important distance could make it feel that it had the power to destroy the world, at least to destroy the mountain range.
Luo Song hugged the big tree tightly, the violent shaking continued all the time, and he kept praying in his heart, praying that the monster would leave quickly and not linger nearby, otherwise he would not be able to leave this place at all.
I don't know how long it took, but when the violent vibration gradually subsided, Luo Song knew that the monster was far away, which made his hanging heart fall to the ground.
"It's so scary here, it's such a monster at random glance, but luckily I climbed up the valley and knew it in advance, otherwise it would definitely have been discovered and eaten as a snack. Luo Song rejoiced in his heart.
He did not come down, but stayed on the tree for another half an hour, until there was really no movement, and then he jumped off the tree.
Gotta get out of here as soon as possible, it's too dangerous!
Luo Song recalled what he saw in the valley, but at the end of his eyes were all mountain peaks, and there were no man-made buildings or towns at all, which meant that this place was far away from the range of human activities and belonged to a place like a primeval forest.
This kind of place is rare on earth, but in this cultivator world, it is not easy to say, if you are not careful, you may die at the hands of some terrifying existence, such as the huge monster just now.
"By the way, where there is usually human activity, you must choose a water source, the water in the stream below the valley is clear and clear, it should be close to the water source, if you follow the stream outward, you will definitely find a place for human activity. ”
Thinking of this, Luo Song hurried out of the woods, and once again came to the valley stream, and he did not leave immediately, but sat down on a large rock to rest, and began to plan the next journey.
The road ahead is slow, I don't know how dangerous it is, the calculation is in the primeval forests and other places on the earth, and it should not be taken lightly, this is the experience he learned from Wu Kun.
After all, no one knows what kind of dangerous animals or other threats there will be in the primeval forest where humans have no activity.
First of all, Luo Song found a dead snake, peeled off the snake's skin and washed it completely, and then used some sharp and thin dead grass in the mountain forest to make two large water bladders from the snake's skin and straddle his waist.
Colleague, he also used to find some big stones, split them with his hands, and sharpened a few rough stone sticks behind his back, in case he encountered some poisons that could not be touched on the way, and it was suitable to have stone sticks as weapons.
The last thing to prepare is the most important and basic thing, which is the essential food.
Although he learned a lot from Wu Kun, outdoor hunting food is one of them, but being able to prepare food in advance is definitely better than looking for it temporarily along the way, at least it is safe and non-toxic, and he can eat it at any time to replenish his strength.
He searched around and finally dried a dozen dead snakes and a few fish caught from the creek, removed the water, and smoked them several times to ensure that the meat and dried fish did not spoil.
After doing this, Luo Song set off along the stream, ready to walk out of this endless mountain range.
The journey was smooth, he did not encounter any danger, at most a few poisonous snakes and poisonous insects, and before they could attack him, he was smashed into meat sauce by the stone stick in his hand.
During the day, he hurried along the stream, and at night he used the moon to cultivate.
Although he didn't know how to cultivate, with his previous experience, he still used the power of the moon breath to temper his flesh and bones.
His intuition told him that there was definitely something good about it, at least he understood that one thing, everything has to look at the long term, and it is not only the process that sustains the long-term, but more importantly, the foundation.
As long as the foundation is solid and firm enough, the road in the future can go farther and longer.
Of course, in addition to rushing and cultivating, he often took out the two books in his backpack to read, which was probably the only way he could pass the time.
He could understand the words in the black book, but it was difficult to understand what was recorded on the road, and it needed to be carefully pondered, as for the yellowed ancient book, except for the three words on the cover, he couldn't understand any of the pictures and words inside.
"Push back picture, isn't this Li Chunfeng's book?" Luo Song wondered in his heart.
Although he didn't actually know about the book "Tui Bei Tu", when he was in college, one of his roommates was a member of the Metaphysics Society, studying all kinds of bizarre metaphysics and stories.
He had heard more or less about the book "Pushing Back Pictures" from his roommates.
According to legend, this book was written by Si Tianjian Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang during the Tang Dynasty, and it was estimated that there were 60 images of the rise and fall of the national fortunes of China for more than 2,000 years after the Tang Dynasty.
The most evil thing about Tui Beitu is that the things recorded on it have been fulfilled one by one in later generations, and it is known as the first book of prophecy in China.
Of course, some of the things recorded above are basically ambiguous things, and careful scrutiny and explanation can also work, which makes the book "Tui Bei Tu" spread for centuries.
For these strange stories, Luo Song never believed in them before, thinking that they were feudal superstitions, but now it seems that they are ......
The book of pushing back pictures could not be studied thoroughly, so he naturally studied the black book.
Before meeting Wu Kun, he also thought that everything recorded in the black book was nonsense, but Wu Kun was well-informed, especially since he had been a special soldier before, and he was very familiar with some herbs and animals in the wild.
Combined with what Luo Song said before, it was obtained from the bad old man, Wu Kun concluded that this was a 'strange book' written by the bad old man combining various ancient medical techniques and human experiments.
The reason why it is called a strange book is because the things recorded on it include both modern science and technology, ancient medical skills, and even some things that have never been seen or heard of.
For example, the hundred-year-old ginseng pill that Wu Kun had cultivated before was the ancient medical technique recorded in the black book, and Luo Song had eaten the hundred-year-old ginseng pill and had the best experience of its effect.
Coincidentally, along the way, he had encountered some medicinal herbs and vegetation, and even some poisonous insects that he had never seen before, but there was a record in the black book.
For example, a poisonous insect he sprayed yesterday actually has two heads, because there are basically no two-headed creatures on the earth, and even if there is, it is only a genetic mutation, and they cannot be classified as a new species.
What Luo Song saw was a whole five double-headed poisonous insects, which could never be caused by genetic mutations, and it was also recorded in the black book that this was an ancient insect that was extinct in ancient times, called the Shuangming Eye Worm.
It is so poisonous that a single drop can pollute a lake, turning the entire lake into a poisonous lake, and any creature that comes into contact with the lake water will be poisoned to death within three days, which is a terrible chronic poison.
And early this morning, he saw a giant praying mantis guarding a purple seven-leaf shoot, aside from the brown bear that is still a big mantis, the purple seven-leaf shoot alone surprised him.
Why?
According to the records in the black book, that thing is a medicinal herb called Qiye Purple Tianmi, which can prolong the life of a critically ill person for 70 years, and a normal person has a certain chance of obtaining a certain ability after taking it, and the specific ability varies from person to person.
He didn't know if the record in the black book was true or not, but Luo Song was sure that this seven-leaf purple sky had long been extinct on the earth.
Even from a distance, Luo Song could notice that each leaf of the seven-leaf purple Tianmi was as beautiful as jade, not at all like an herb, but like a jade chalcedony growing from the ground.
And this kind of thing, absolutely does not exist on the earth, at least its existence, has not appeared in the records of human history at all, that is to say, this medicinal material, long before human civilization, was extinct, as for why it is recorded in the black book is unknown.
The black book not only records these strange medicines, poisonous insects and ores, but also explains in detail how these things can be used together on people, which will produce various unexpected effects.
For example, the hundred-year-old ginseng pill, Luo Song has a deep understanding, which also makes him understand that the things in the black book may be true.
Because along the way, he saw many things recorded in the Black Book, which were verified along the way, which convinced him of the existence of the Black Book.
He had a vague feeling that the Black Book might be a priceless treasure!
