Chapter 150: The Book Opens
As the footsteps of the old white monkey went away, the secret room in the belly of the mountain suddenly quieted, and the huge and empty stone room was still full of demon clans not long ago, but at this moment, only Shen Shi was left alone.
He swept his eyes over the stone room, and was surprised to find that in addition to himself, the little black pig had also followed him at some point, and at this moment he was curled up, but he was lying under a golden fetal stone, and was sleeping.
Shen Shi walked over and touched the little black pig's head, only to feel a warm and soft feeling coming from the soft and smooth fur of the little black pig, looking at its sleeping appearance with two little ears, Shen Shi smiled slightly and stood up.
Then, his gaze fell on the golden fetal stone magic circle in front of him, and his eyes gradually became a little hot.
It's been three years, it's been three years since he came to the demon world, this time is not a very long time for cultivators, but for Shen Shi, it's unbearable, living like a year, a human race is forced to pretend to survive in the demon race, and every day is surrounded by extremely vicious alien races, this pressure is not so easy to bear.
In the past three years, Shen Shi has also tried every possible way to find a way to return to the land of the human race, but every effort finally told him the fact that the only passage from the demon world to the human world is the ancient teleportation circle that leads to the Feihong world, and it has now turned into a near-mortal Yin Dead Sea, and under ten thousand years, there is no living creature that can pass through there.
To be honest, Shen Shi had gradually begun to despair now, and even thought in his heart whether he was going to die in the demon world like this in his life, until today, he suddenly miraculously saw the small golden fetal stone array in front of him.
When he saw this magic circle for the first time, he saw with complete certainty in his heart that although this golden fetal stone magic circle was one more piece in terms of the number of stones than the teleportation circle in the depths of the demon hunting cave on Demon Island that day, it was almost exactly the same in nature, and it was definitely a magical magic circle that could be teleported across borders.
Perhaps, this is God's eyes opening and giving yourself another chance to return to the human race?
Shen Shi's heart suddenly beat very fast, he stood in the middle of this golden fetal stone array, closed his eyes slightly, and the golden light emanated from those stones, gently passing beside him.
He stood quietly and began to slowly recall the scene on the demon island that day, and began to slowly recall how the Golden Fetal Stone Circle was activated, perhaps, the same is true of the one in front of him?
He stood for a long time, mentally recalling every fragment of the day, and then, after a moment of silence, reached up to his waist, groped through the small bag containing his most important belongings, and then took out a gray and dull bead that looked a little old.
Heavenly Brahma Ancient Beads.
He stared at this seemingly inconspicuous bead quietly, but that day, it was it that escaped from the clutches of the Yin Ghost King with itself and activated the teleportation circle, but the destination of the teleportation was a little too weird.
So today, will this Heavenly Brahma Ancient Bead be the key to activating this Golden Fetal Stone Circle again?
Can I return to the Hongmeng main realm again, to the side of the human race?
Shen Shi held his breath, grasped the bead tightly, and then walked to the jade leak, took a deep breath, and gently brought the Heavenly Van Ancient Bead close to the jade leak.
The green qi in those jade leaks that had been silent for many years and had never changed and seemed to be quiet forever suddenly churned as if it had been stimulated by something when this Heavenly Ancient Bead was approaching.
And Shen Shi was almost at the same time, only to feel that his whole body was tense instantly, so nervous that even his palms trembled slightly.
However, all the changes only stop there, after the green qi shook slightly, for some reason, it slowly calmed down again, and there was no reaction to this Tianfan Ancient Pearl, even if Shen Shi tried to get closer to the Tianfan Ancient Bead or even stick it on the surface of the jade leaky jade tube after being stunned, those Qingqi did not have any abnormal movements.
Shen Shi tried several times, but after all, this was the result, the long-awaited way home, as if a gap had just opened in front of him, but it was ruthlessly and cruelly closed again.
If there is no hope, he may not be as disappointed as he is now, for a while, he even has a feeling of discouragement, so that he didn't notice that at the foot of the golden fetal stone on the other side, the little black pig who has been sleeping seems to be inexplicably stimulated, and looks up and around in a bit of a daze, as if his brain is still confused to figure out the surrounding situation, and after a moment of silence, the little pig's head drooped suddenly, but it fell to the ground again and fell asleep.
※※※
Standing in place and silent for a long time, Shen Shi finally slowly walked out of that disappointment, smiled bitterly in a low voice, he sighed, walked to the golden fetus stone where the little black pig slept, and sat down against the stone.
A golden glow swept across his face, silent.
He sat quietly for a while, and then, as if remembering something, reached into his arms and groped for a while, and when he took it out again, there was already a black scroll on his palm.
Shen Shi gently reversed the scroll, and his gaze fell on the seven-leaf golden sunflower pattern at the bottom, I don't know how many years have passed, but these proud and beautiful flowers seem to still be in full bloom as in the heyday of the past, and there is no loss of half of it. Shen Shi stared at this flower, but he remembered the other black scroll he had gotten at the beginning, and the Pure Heart Mantra that had helped him so much was obtained from this black scroll.
He still clearly remembered that the full name of this strange technique sealed with the Demon Emperor Emblem of the Seven Leaf Golden Sunflower was called the Yin and Yang Mantra, and the Pure Heart Mantra was just one of the spells in the Yang Mantra chapter, so the black scroll in front of him was also sealed with other spells of the Yin Yang Mantra?
Yin mantra, or yang mantra?
In the place where his mind moved, Shen Shi's originally low mood was unconsciously changed by another expectation, perhaps this is a natural yearning. He thought about it carefully, and when he opened the black scroll that looked sealed, it seemed that he had pressed a certain leaf of this seven-leaf golden sunflower.
He stretched out his finger and gently pressed it against the sixth leaf of the seven-leaf golden sunflower, which, if he remembered correctly, was the mechanism that opened the scroll that day.
His fingers pressed against the blade, with a slight force, but the black scroll did not move at all, and there was no reaction at all.
Shen Shi was a little stunned, secretly thinking that the activation mechanism of these scrolls was different for each of them? Then, he held his breath and started from scratch one by one, pressing all the leaves of this seven-leaf golden sunflower.
But the Black Scroll's reaction was still one of indifference.
What's going on, Shen Shi was stunned in his heart, and even faintly brought a trace of anger, it seems that his luck is particularly bad today, maybe the teleportation circle that can go home can't be activated, there is no hope, the Yin Yang Mantra scroll that he finally found seems to have a problem and can't be opened?
He gritted his teeth and pressed his fingers on the black scroll again, he pressed every place, not only the seven-leaf golden sunflower, but even the other end of the black scroll and even the scroll itself, but all the movements did not respond, the black scroll was still like a withered black wood, lying quietly in the palm of his hand.
Shen Shi leaned back a little dejectedly, leaning back against the golden fetal stone, and smiled bitterly, thinking that maybe the black phoenix predecessor who got this black scroll back then was also because he couldn't find a way to open this scroll, but he knew that the seven-leaf golden sunflower had an extraordinary origin, so in desperation, he had to hide deep in the wooden frame.
But in the first place, why was he able to open the scroll mechanism of the Pure Heart Mantra so easily?
Shen Shi was really puzzled at the moment, leaning on the Golden Fetal Stone, his brows furrowed, and he began to recall the scene when he received the Pure Heart Mantra many years ago.
The past seemed to be a little blurry, but he still remembered the general process, he got the small jar from the South Treasure Workshop of Liuyun City, and later took out the black scroll from it, and then under the candle flame, he saw that the bottom of the scroll seemed to be a little strange, and then he found the complete pattern of the seven-leaf golden sunflower, and then pressed the blade and opened the heart purification spell.
Scene by scene, there seemed to be no problem, exactly the same as what he did today, but I don't understand why he can't open this black scroll right now?
What went wrong?
Shen Shi shook his head with some distress, looked at the scroll in his hand with a little helplessness, sighed, looked up at the dome of the secret room blankly, and said softly and slowly in his mouth: "Small can...... Reel...... Sunflower...... Blade...... I've got everything, what the hell is ......?"
Suddenly, he frowned, as if he had faintly grasped something, and sat up at once, his brows furrowed, but his eyes began to brighten a little, and he was silent for a moment, as if trying to recall something, and after a while, he whispered again slowly:
"Small pots, broken pots, scrolls, candle flames, sunflowers, leaves...... Hmmm!" Suddenly, Shen Shi's body shook, his eyes fell on the scroll all of a sudden, he clenched it, and said in a low voice, "Candle flame!"
※※※
There was silence in the stone chamber, except for the occasional snoring of the little black pig echoing around the left and right.
Shen Shi sat up straight, holding a black scroll in his left hand, his face was solemn, and at the same time, the palm of his right hand was upward, after taking a deep breath, an invisible spiritual power surged rapidly from his eyebrows, and only after a breath, only a low muffled sound was heard, and a burning fireball suddenly appeared in his palm, floating in the air, slowly burning.
The light of the fire was reflected in Shen Shi's eyes, like two raging fires.
He gently brought the fireball closer to the black scroll, closer to the seven-leaf golden sunflower.
He was careful with every movement, not daring to relax in the slightest, for fear of damaging the scroll in the slightest.
As the fireball approached, those blazing flames swayed, as if a trace of heat had also been contaminated on this scroll, and even Shen Shi's left hand clearly felt a trace of heat coming from the palm of his hand, and then, he saw that at the bottom of the black scroll, a circle of black powder fell from it.
He thought about it carefully, it seemed that when he first got the Pure Heart Mantra, it was the black powder that fell to see the seven-leaf golden sunflower, which was a little different from now, but he didn't care so much about it now, he dispersed the fireball, held his breath, and stretched out his finger and gently pressed it against those leaves.
The first piece did not react, the second piece did not react, and when the third leaf was pressed, the black scroll suddenly made a low sound of clucking, and then it slowly opened in front of Shen Shi's eyes.
The corners of Shen Shi's mouth finally showed a smile of relief, and then he couldn't wait to open the scroll and look at the handwriting exposed inside.
"Yin and Yang Mantra • Yin Mantra • Heavenly Curse".
