This was the second time that Meng Zhou had cultivated the water nourishing technique, and the first time was on the day when Baiyue Bay had just completed the exercises, and he had to leave quickly before he had time to carefully comprehend it.

After many days of running in the wilderness, today I finally have a place to live again.

Feeling the wonderful afterglow after completing his cultivation, Meng Zhou did not feel tired, but was full of energy, and his spirit was unusually excited.

He walked out of the ashram, through the living room, and into the study.

Remove one package from the storage bag and untie it carefully.

When he first completed the rubbing, in order to avoid ink leakage and dare not delay the time, Meng Zhou deliberately separated two blank pieces of paper between each rubbing stone carving, and carefully wrapped it and never untied it halfway.

Therefore, Meng Zhou's mood at the moment was also extremely worried.

Removing the top white paper, a clear rubbing stone carving came into view, and a faint scent of ink entered the nose.

Faced with this crumpled stone carving picture, Meng Zhou stared at it for a long time, and then continued to arrange the second, third, and more stone carving drawings on the desk.

Meng Zhou, who thought he already had some clues, became more and more dizzy the more he looked at it.

When he was dazzled, Meng Zhou didn't choose to continue to die, he looked away, and suddenly there was an emerald green straw grasshopper in his hand.

As soon as it appeared in its hand, its pair of tentacles were like a pair of probes, curiously spinning overhead, looking left and right.

Meng Zhou even vaguely felt a sense of depression and grievance, as if he was complaining about the dissatisfaction of being confined these days.

Feeling this unprovoked emotion in his heart, looking at the grasshopper body with the traces of straw weaving still visible in his hand, Meng Zhou had a strange emotion in his heart.

He leaned closer to the grasshopper in his palm and said, "Can you understand me?" ”

The straw grasshopper was still lying motionless, and a pair of tentacles were still spinning unhurriedly, as if his words had no effect on it.

Meng Zhou continued: "If you can help me unlock the secret of this rubbing stone carving, I will no longer put you in the bag in the future." ”

As soon as these words came out, the tentacles of the grasshopper suddenly stopped.

A vague thought came into Meng Zhou's heart.

Meng Zhou was stunned, and then hurriedly took out the rubbing stone carvings that were still stacked together one by one.

A hundred rubbing stone carvings were too many to fit on the desk, so Meng Zhou spread them flat on the ground.

In the end, he repeatedly confirmed and compared among the 100 rubbing stone carvings, and selected one with the least number of lines and the simplest looking rubbing stone carving.

Meng Zhou took the rubbing stone carving to the desk, moved the other rubbing stone carvings on the desk to the side, spread it flat in the center of the table, and placed the straw grasshopper on it.

Meng Zhou withdrew his hand and only stared at it with wide eyes without blinking.

Then, I saw that the lifelike straw grasshopper suddenly went limp, as if it had lost all its skeleton support, and turned into an emerald green, haphazardly crumpled thin grass rope.

The straw rope seemed to have turned into an earthworm, and it seemed to have an invisible force stretching at both ends of the thread, and the originally chaotic grass rope became a long thin rope.

Seeing such a magical scene, Meng Zhou didn't even blink his eyelids, but stared at every detail of it.

He knew that for this "rope spirit", it was a huge overdraft to act like this now, and if he didn't see and remember clearly this time, it would be difficult to hope for a second chance in a short time.

After returning to its original state, the string is bent into a long "U" shape, and the left thread ends pass under the right thread to form a "α" structure, and the thread ends pass through the loop around the immovable right thread.

Then, rotate the ring 180 degrees, and the right thread that has not been moved is concocted in the same way as the left thread just now.

After the double thread was threaded, the two threads were gently touched to the sides, and Meng Zhou was surprised to find that in addition to the difference in size, the shape of this straw rope at this moment was exactly the same as the picture on the rubbing stone carving.

Meng Zhouchang sighed: "It's really the method of rope knotting!" ”

"So, these 100 stone carvings record a hundred ways to tie ropes!"

Meng Zhou was not happy to crack this secret, but fell into deep distress.

Even if there are clear steps for him to follow step by step, he is not confident that one step is good.

Now, each stone carving is equivalent to a final answer, and the intermediate steps are omitted, and he needs to deduce and figure it out by himself, which is already very, very difficult.

But that's not the most troublesome part.

Rubbing stone carvings are two-dimensional pictures, and the three-dimensional changes cannot be reflected at all.

Most obviously, when two lines intersect, he doesn't know which one is on top and which is down.

If he tried them one by one by using the trial and error method, Meng Zhou looked carefully at the intersection of lines in these stone carvings and his scalp was numb.

What's more, the points where many locations cross are not two lines, but three, four, or even more roots.

Similarly, in the process of tying the knot, whether there is rotation or not cannot be seen by this rubbing.

Perhaps, for some handicraft experts who can easily knit a bracelet for the same table, some of these problems can be judged by intuition or reasoning.

But for him, it's the same as a math problem, it won't be a math problem, even if it suffocates him, it still won't.

And with the completion of the reproduction of the rubbing stone carving drawings by the string, the string, which seemed to be a living creature a moment ago, was directly spread on the desk, with no spirit at all, and the state was no different from ordinary strings.

Meng Zhou had also put aside all the distracting thoughts in his heart, and only the movement and change of the two threads of the string just now were in his mind.

The flexible fingers given to him by the Grandmaster-level Thousand Hands followed the "original path" to restore the string to its original appearance.

Then, while the memory is still not fading, the two ends of the thread move strictly according to the trajectory in the memory.

Finally, he held the ends of the thread in his hands and pulled it gently, the knot was still loose and not completely dead, but as he slowly pressed his hands, at a certain moment, the figure formed by the knotted string overlapped with the rubbing stone carving on the table.

And just as Meng Zhou personally completed the knot to this point, a flickering red dot appeared again next to the light gray portrait icon in the field of vision.

Meng Zhou's mind moved, and he expanded his personal information.

A new item has been found to have appeared under the [Oath].

[Class: Knotter 1st Order: 1/100]

In the [Skill] item, a new skill has also appeared, "Introduction to the Hundred Methods of Knotting: 1/100".

[Oath: Rope Spirit First Order] has also changed from the original "0/100" to "1/100".

Meng Zhou's gaze moved back and forth between these three items, and all kinds of thoughts came to his heart.

And just when the progress of the "Rope Spirit First Order" was improved, breaking the boundary from zero to zero, Meng Zhou, who was holding the string, once again had a vague sense.

It was a hunger, a craving to eat.

Meng Zhou tried to measure the mana of the water nourishing body, but to no avail, he simply took out all the items in the bag, and according to his final feedback, Meng Zhou's eyes looked at a small wooden box.

The name of the spirit sealing box, is the main use of this bag to hold the talisman, the talisman is kept in the spirit box, can avoid the gradual dissipation of its spirituality caused by the decline of power, to ensure that the talisman can be kept in the best state for a longer time, prolong the shelf life.

At the same time, it can also be used to hold spiritual herbs and elixirs.

Because of these properties, the wood used to create the spirit box is itself a spiritual material.

When his gaze looked at this box, Meng Zhou could keenly feel that the hunger and thirst coming from the string was obviously stronger.

After thinking about it, Meng Zhou opened the spirit sealing box, took out all the talismans inside, put them into the bag, and then placed the string on the surface of the spirit sealing box.

At this moment, it was like a hot copper wire placed on the ice, and it was like a highly corrosive liquid dripping a "wound" on the surface of the spirit sealing box.

A deep scar was "gnawed" on the surface of the Sealing Box, and with the rapid passage of the Wood Spirituality, its "Sealing Spirit" properties almost completely disappeared.

Meng Zhou looked at the thin rope lying on the "remnant body" of the spirit sealing box, which looked as harmless as it looked, and observed it for a long time, before he grabbed it with his magic hand and approached to take a closer look.

Meng Zhou was sure that it was not an illusion, this thin rope was a little longer than before.
