Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Power of Shrinking Things
"The Book of Heaven, the Book of Heaven hasn't been found yet!"
Shen Luo slapped his head suddenly, finally remembered the most important purpose of this trip, and hurriedly jumped back on the Wupeng boat.
Everything on the boat was piled up at the back of the cabin, and all the clay pots and clay bottles were shattered, and even the low square table had broken a leg.
After Shen Luo moved the table, under a pile of fishing nets, he found the stone box.
The stone box remained ajar, and with a slight push after Shen Luo picked it up, the lid of the box was opened, revealing a bamboo tube with a length of a ruler and a thick yellowed ancient book.
The bamboo tube is only the thickness of the arm, there are only two bamboo knots in total, and the whole body is verdant, it looks like it has just been cut off, and the ancient book is slightly rolled into a cylinder and placed under the bamboo tube.
"Book from heaven?"
Shen Luo's eyes lit up, and he just wanted to reach out to get the ancient book, but suddenly remembered that he had rashly opened the stone box and released the ghost-headed skeleton, so he quickly retracted his hand, opened the baggage he carried with him, took out a few talismans that had been drawn a long time ago, and pasted them on his chest and arms.
There are both exorcism charms and evil spirit charms in these talismans, and even two peace talismans, whether they have any effect or not, he is not sure, but it is better than nothing.
However, cautious is cautious, Shen Luo is actually not too worried.
There is no other reason, Yu Tianshi, an ordinary man, can get this nameless book of heaven safely, which shows that there is no fatal danger in it.
It's just that when Yu Yan talked about this past at that time, he was too rough, and I don't know if it was because he left out something after drinking, or if Yu Tianshi didn't tell all the things to future generations back then, and he didn't mention the skeleton and bamboo tube at all.
After Shen Luo posted another exorcism talisman on the back of his right hand, he finally slowly reached out and carefully grabbed the rolled-up ancient book and took it out.
When he held the ancient book, he didn't even dare to push too hard, for fear that this ancient book, which looked old, would be crumbled into crumbs by his own accident.
However, when the palm of his hand touched the ancient book, he realized that it was not a paper binding, but a tough and sturdy leather book.
But then, an even more bizarre scene appeared.
The scroll, which was originally only two inches long, suddenly flashed white light and doubled in an instant when it left the stone box, and the rolled pages were also stretched out one after another, turning into a square book with a length and width of four inches.
Shen Luo was shocked when he saw this, and he didn't react for a while what was going on, holding the ancient book that suddenly became larger, and looked back and forth on the stone box and the leather scroll book a few times.
"This ......"
He hesitated in his heart, so he first put the ancient book aside, then picked up the verdant bamboo tube, and took it out.
The bamboo tube, which was originally no more than a foot long, turned out to be a flash of white light at the moment it left the stone box, and it grew three times larger, becoming more than three feet long, and it was quite weighty in the hand.
Shen Luo shook the bamboo tube gently, and there was a "gurgling" sound inside, and there was a faint sound of liquid flowing.
At present, this bamboo tube, in terms of volume alone, is obviously much larger than the stone box.
"It's so big...... How did this get in?" Shen Luo frowned and muttered to himself.
After that, he suspiciously put the bamboo tube in his hand towards the stone box, wanting to put it back again.
I saw that the moment the bamboo tube approached the stone box, it was pulled by a soft invisible force, and under the shroud of a white light, it directly shrunk three times, and became a foot long again, lying down in the stone box.
"This stone crate ...... Is it also a treasure?" Shen Luo's heart was hot.
He hurriedly put the bamboo tube on the side of the leather scroll, turned around and pulled out the low-legged square table with a broken leg.
He grabbed the legs of the square table with both hands, and carried it upside down to the stone box, wanting to see if it was possible to fit this ordinary square table in addition to the two things that were originally in the stone box.
As a result, a sharp corner of the square table was just close to the stone box, and white light once again came through the mouth of the box, and the soft invisible force dragged it out, dragging it out of his hand and putting it into the stone box.
Shen Luo hurriedly leaned over to check, and saw that the square table was lying in the stone box with "three feet facing the sky", and it had shrunk many times and became only the size of a palm.
Seeing this, Shen Luo's eyes were even more surprised, and he jumped off the boat in three or two steps, picked a round stone the size of a human head from the rocky beach, and brought it back and put it in the stone box.
Immediately afterwards, he retrieved the penny used to support the boat, and poked into the stone box, which was also shrunk and retracted.
Shen Luo tried all the clay pot tiles, fishing nets, axes and other chicken bits and pieces beside him, and all of them could be included in them without exception.
"It seems that other ordinary things, as long as they are placed in the position of the box, can be shrunk and put in. Shen Luo held the stone box in both hands, put it in front of his eyes and looked at it left and right, and still felt incredible in his heart.
Not only can this stone box be able to store objects that are several times larger than oneself, or even more than ten times larger, by a certain proportion, but its own weight has hardly changed at all.
Moreover, through the comparison of the shrinkage of different objects, Shen Luo also found that it seems that the larger the original volume, the greater the proportion that can shrink and become smaller when it enters the stone box.
However, he couldn't verify how much of the stone box could be filled with in the end.
"To be able to have such a magical function, I'm afraid it's not a legendary magic weapon, right?" As soon as this thought appeared in Shen Luo's mind, he was startled first.
That's something that can only be possessed by the true person of the contemplation lord Fengyang and the mysterious ancestor who can't come out of retreat.
He really didn't expect that this trip to find the Book of Heaven would bring him so many unexpected joys!
But after thinking about it, if he hadn't accidentally picked up that strange jade pillow and dreamed of the demon chaos thousands of years later, he wouldn't have learned about the existence of the Nameless Book of Heaven from Yu Yan, and now I'm just afraid that he is still cultivating hard in the view, striving to practice and save his life, right?
For the first time, Shen Luo felt that being entangled in that jade pillow nightmare didn't seem to be a bad thing.
His thoughts wandered for a while, and then he came back to his senses, and cleared out the debris that had been put into the stone box one by one, and then picked up the yellowed leather scroll again and flipped through it.
As Yu Yan said, this ancient book is empty on the outer cover, and there is no title written on it, so I think it is probably because of this that it will be called "Nameless Heavenly Book" by its ancestors.
Shen Luo flipped a few pages inside, and his brows couldn't help frowning.
It's not that there is anything wrong with the content recorded in the book, but that the words in this ancient book are all very old silver seal scripts, and Shen Luo has also read a lot of ancient books, and he can't recognize a few at all.
After looking at it for a while, he couldn't see the slightest doorway, so he could only give up and put the ancient book back in the stone box.
"Smack......
At this moment, a slight sound suddenly came from beside him.
Shen Luo hurriedly looked down, and found that it was the bamboo tube next to him, which was blown and rolled by the wind gradually rising on the river in the evening, and hit the wooden board on the side.
He leaned over to pick up the bamboo tube, and was about to study it carefully, when suddenly a crunch sound came from above.
A gap opened at the top of the bamboo tube for no reason, and a stream of yellow liquid sprayed out of it, heading straight for the Shenluo Noodle Door!
