Chapter 54: Finding in the Rain
Shen Luo made a trip to the city first, sent the letter home at the post station, and then rode out of the city, galloping all the way, and soon returned to the Huangweidang ferry.
The summer sky is changing, and the sky that was clear just now suddenly became cloudy and windy, just like the scene before the storm.
Shen Luo glanced at the sky, tied his horse to a tree near the ferry, untied the Wupeng boat tied to the stump, and jumped up.
"Young master, you can't ship today. You see this day, it is about to rain heavily, this river is narrow, a heavy rain, the river is extremely turbulent, and skilled boats dare not enter the water at such a time. Yu Daring came out of the hut, wearing an apron around his waist and seemed to be cooking, and hurriedly stopped Shen Luo's actions when he saw it.
"Thank you Brother Yu for reminding me, I have my own measure. Shen Luo waved his hand boldly, and the penny in his hand slammed on the shore, and the boat flew forward smoothly, heading downstream.
According to Yu Yan, it seems that Yu Tianshi discovered the nameless book on a rainstorm day, and the current weather may be an opportunity.
Of course, if the water conditions are really dangerous for a while, he will naturally not look for death.
"Young master, there are many reefs downstream, if the current is too fast, no matter how strong the boat is, it can't bear it, come back quickly!" Yu Dadao was in a hurry, and shouted repeatedly.
But Shen Luo didn't respond, the boat was smooth sailing, and it was far away in a blink of an eye.
He was much more proficient in his boating skills than yesterday, and soon came to the rocky beach of yesterday, although the sky was a little more gloomy than when he set out, but it still did not rain.
Shen Luo stopped the boat beside the brown reef and was about to move forward, when he suddenly paused and looked up and down at the craggy reef that was more than two feet high above the water.
"Let's start with you!"
Shen Luo said and picked up a fixed rope, tied it around his waist, and then took out a "treasure hunting talisman" from his body, and took out a yuan stone and pressed it on it, carefully urging the exercise.
After a while, the white qi in the Yuan Stone surged, and it overflowed slightly, and under the guidance of the red silk in Shen Luo's palm, it was injected into the "Treasure Hunting Talisman".
As the runes on the "Treasure Hunt Talisman" lit up, a faint layer of white light was formed, but Shen Luo's palm was red and silky, and he didn't continue, the original white qi surging in the Yuan Stone calmed down, and the white gas contained in it was almost imperceptible to the naked eye compared to before.
Although the talisman was not completely activated, judging from the few signs revealed by the talisman, it was obvious that the white light cluster had not formed the previous trend.
He only had a few yuan stones in hand, and he had to save some of them, so he thought of such a clever way.
As a result, in the next attempt, all seven or eight talismans in a row failed, and the white qi contained in the Yuan Stone was also reduced by nearly one-fifth.
Shen Luo had expected this, after all, the previous "treasure hunting talisman" was made by mistake, and now if you want to reproduce it, how can it be so easy?
He sighed lightly, and took out a new treasure hunting talisman from his body, urging it with the Yuan Stone.
Fail......
Fail......
Or failed......
In the blink of an eye, there were only a few of the thick stacks of treasure hunting talismans that Shen Luo had originally prepared, and one of the originally full Yuan Stones was almost exhausted.
Even though Shen Luo was mentally prepared, his more than forty consecutive failures still shook his confidence a little.
Could it be that this "treasure hunt" is really just a stroke of luck?
If this is the case, things will be troublesome, there are many piles of rocks in this river, and it is easier to find the nameless heavenly book that is hidden in the unknown place than to find a needle in a haystack.
"If you can't do it today, then come back tomorrow, I won't believe that I will try him a hundred times and a thousand times, and I won't succeed once!" Shen Luo muttered.
The Nameless Book of Heaven is his only hope now, and he can't give up no matter what.
Thinking like this, the expression on his face had returned to normal, and he took out a new treasure search talisman and continued to urge it.
"Buzz".
As the last trace of Yuan Shi's mana sank into the talisman, a soft white light bloomed from the talisman, forming a white light cluster only the size of a basin.
He was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted, a blush of excitement on his face!
It's this white light cluster, it can't be wrong, except that it's a little smaller, it's the same as the "treasure hunting talisman" that I tossed out that night!
But Shen Luo immediately remembered something, and his joy was a little, and he approached the brown river reef in his hand with the talisman in his hand.
Since there was only a trace of mana injected into the talisman, it could not really activate the talisman, and the white light emitted by the talisman began to dim at this moment, but the soft white light cluster was still covering the reef.
The white light in the cluster of light flickered slightly, and the reef quickly became translucent.
But this scene only lasted one or two breaths, and after two flashes of white light, it completely disappeared as the light of the talisman was extinguished.
Shen Luo did not immediately urge this talisman, but took it back in front of him and looked at it carefully.
While memorizing every detail of the rune in his heart, he carefully recalled the process of drawing the rune in his mind, and faintly guessed a little more about the difference between the "treasure hunting talisman" and the small thunder talisman.
He was about to continue to look closely, when he suddenly felt that the black clouds in the sky were getting lower and lower, and it seemed that a torrential rain was about to pour down.
Shen Luo glanced up at the sky, gave up his intention to continue research, and took out a Yuan Stone Urging Talisman.
"Buzz"!
The "treasure hunting talisman" bloomed with bright white light, forming a white light cluster the size of a zhang, enveloping the nearby brown river reef, and the entire river reef suddenly became translucent.
The white light also shrouded the nearby river, and the murky water was not only as transparent as a stone, but not even illuminated.
Shen Luo did not hesitate, and crushed the talisman in his hand.
The white light cluster shattered in response, turning into countless large and small white light balls, flying towards the surroundings, as if fireflies were flying in the sky, and some of the light clusters directly submerged into the water and disappeared without a trace.
Shen Luo's gaze swept quickly, taking all the balls of light into his eyes as much as possible, observing their movements.
The dense ball of light quickly spread to the surrounding area of dozens of zhang, which was quite conspicuous in the dim environment.
At this moment, a large white ball of light floating in front of him on the left seemed to be attracted by something, and after a slight tremble, it suddenly sank, and all of it was submerged in the river.
Shen Luo's eyes were full of joy, he didn't care about rowing, jumped into the river, and dived in the direction of the sinking ball of light, not daring to delay for a moment.
His movements had increased as fast as he could, still much slower than the speed at which the balls of light converged.
By the time he reached the bottom of the river, the orbs had disappeared without a trace, and he could only roughly tell that they were heading towards a small pile of rocks at the bottom of the river near the reeds on the south bank.
Shen Luo quickly swam over, but after arriving, he was stunned.
Taking advantage of the sluggish light, he found that the pile of stones at the bottom of the river was made up of a number of black stones the size of a millstone, which had a smooth surface and was very different from the stones in other places, and there were more than a dozen of them in total.
It's just that the position of these black stones doesn't seem to be disorderly, and some pattern is vaguely formed.
Shen Luo thought about it for a while, and his eyes suddenly widened.
This pattern looks like a skull!
He was holding his breath to the limit at the moment, and he was frightened by this, and immediately "gurgling" spit out a large string of bubbles, and hurriedly swam towards the river, almost surfacing on the edge of exhaustion, and gasping for breath for a while before recovering his strength.
"Why is there such a strange scene at the bottom of the river, is it a coincidence, or is someone deliberately doing it?" Shen Luo thought with some shock.
At this time, the lead cloud in the air almost overhead, the wind on the river was rolling, and the boat was blown from side to side, and it crashed against the boulder.
"God help, it's better for this rain to fall later. Shen Luo muttered, looked left and right, remembered where he was at the moment, and then turned around and swam back to the boat.
He drove the boat a short distance forward, stuck between two large rocks on the rocky beach, and held it firmly with a cable to ensure that it would not be washed away when the river became stronger.
Shen Luo calculated the distance through visual inspection, and was about to jump into the river again, after a little hesitation, he turned around and took out all the remaining treasure hunting talismans, two small thunder talismans, and the last three yuan stones from the package in the boat, and then turned around and jumped into the river.
At this moment, a dazzling white light flashed in the sky, and then there was a loud "boom", and countless bean-sized raindrops fell from the sky, enveloping everything in the rain curtain.
"Won't God help me!"
Shen Luo scolded secretly, he had just found some clues, and it was really not the right time for this rain.
But now he couldn't think of anything else, he jumped into the river, desperately diving towards the area before.
