When he saw Shigure coughing up something that looked like dust and mist. Zhao Chensi initially suspected that he was hallucinating due to mental stimulation, or that he was seeing things wrongly.
But after taking a closer look, he immediately overturned his previous suspicions.
There was indeed something like dust and mist pouring out from between Shigure's fingers as she coughed!
Those things were like smoke from burning cigarettes. After being coughed out, they circled around her head for several times before gradually dissipating into the air.
After coughing up the dust and mist, Shigure felt that his breathing became much easier.
But she didn't realize that her beautiful face became paler, decayed, and lifeless as she coughed out the smoke.
On the other side, Joseph's attention has been completely attracted by the things in the wooden box.
The rotten wooden box was opened. There was no precious light as imagined when the artifact was born, nor was there anything terrible coming out. There was a handful lying quietly in the lining made of silk brocade in the wooden box. Long sword.
A long sword with complex patterns and words engraved on the scabbard.
Joseph did not rashly reach out for the long sword in the sword box. According to his experience of walking in the extraordinary realm for many years, he must restrain himself when facing such an unknown thing. He must not do it without detection and When it comes to identification, just touch and touch...
Sometimes if you are unlucky and touch a fatal abnormal object, the result is usually that you die on the spot and cannot be saved.
His colleagues in the church discovered a South American mask, put it on their face and transformed into a vampire. As a result, they accidentally triggered the highest level ban and intrusion alarm of the church branch, and were arrested on the spot. The holy light miracles dropped by the big guys in the garrison branch were burned to ashes and died inexplicably.
Such brainless hapless people are not only found in the church, but also in other supernatural forces, large or small. Every year, there are always some young people who fall into the dangerous behavior of contacting abnormal objects without investigating the situation and taking protective measures.
"Don't touch the things inside until you understand the characteristics..." Joseph murmured in a low voice. This was not only a reminder to himself, but also a reminder to the ordinary people around him who had never been exposed to the extraordinary realm, so that they should always be careful. seek death.
As he spoke, Joseph put down the wooden box in his hand and turned his attention to the thread-bound books on the other side.
He does not have the ability to identify information about abnormal objects. A person with this ability is enough to be protected by the entire force's top brass even among large extraordinary forces.
So Joseph decided to study the thread-bound book first.
The thread-bound book is a product of a long time ago, and the words "Xuanjun Yongjingjing" are faintly visible on the tattered cover. These five words, the paper is yellow and fragile, as if it will break into pieces if turned over with force, and the rope holding the book is also rotten and tattered, and will break if you use a little force.
Joseph carefully held the thread-bound book and flipped through it, fearing that he would use too much force when turning the pages and the whole book would fall into pieces.
Most of the writing in Xuanjun Yongjing is not very difficult and obscure, but seems a bit casual. Rather than saying that this is a scripture that records eternal truth, it is better to say that it may be a random text written down by a Taoist who calls himself Xuanjun to relieve boredom on an eternal journey, or to record what he has seen and heard.
What I saw and heard in the scenery during the journey, the delicacies worth recording, and some unconfirmed myths and legends heard from hearsay, most of them are insignificant records like travel diaries, among which are records about Changsheng Village and this strange secret place. Information.
"Most of the villagers in this village have short lifespans, but they are extremely persistent in the method of immortality. They have been seeking immortality every day since their fall. However, how do they know the pain of immortality? But compared to dying with regrets and leaving unfinished business, They yearn more for the boring road to immortality..."
"After much thought, I decided to give them the method of immortality. I placed my immortal flesh and blood at the source of the stream on the top of the mountain. I changed the direction of the water source to keep it in the village to prevent it from flowing out. After drinking the water mixed with the essence of my flesh and blood, I believe that the people of the village will live longer. The Yuan Neng will be greatly increased. Although it is a hypocritical immortality, it is enough for the villagers. But immortality goes against the common sense of the world, and in the end, it must be contained in a secluded place..."
"Use the peach blossom forest as the boundary to open up a secret realm, and immortality as the limit of entry. Those who obtain immortality with their own flesh and blood can finally retreat to the Taoyuan Township and enjoy freedom and ease based on their feelings..."
"But you must keep the sword of this Dao, so as not to feel the pain of eternal life and have no way to break it. Just like this Dao, you are looking for the day of death. This sword will be left in the secret territory as a guard. If you are tired of death, you can use this sword to kill yourself and cut off the world." Immortal..."
After reading this record, Joseph gradually began to think: The method of immortality was indeed passed down by immortals as in the legend, and the undead insects may be the transformation and derivation of the method of immortality over the years. The sword in the wooden box should be a weapon used to cut off immortality and kill these immortals.
But the only thing that made him feel strange was: If the records of Taoist Xuanjun were correct, the access restrictions of Peach Blossom Forest should only be entered by immortals. Why could a few of them enter it by mistake even if they were not immortal? Or is it that time has passed and what changes have happened in Changsheng Village, causing the entry and exit conditions to change?
His thoughts gradually changed, and Joseph, who could not get an answer from it for the time being, suppressed the doubts in his heart and continued to read.
There is something slightly different recorded in the last few pages of the online book.
The article records that they are some strange elixirs and a small number of obscure and complicated mantras that Master Xuanjun obtained through various coincidences and adventures during his journey.
The text in this last part was far more difficult and obscure than the previous text. Even if Joseph read and chewed it repeatedly, he could only partially understand the text above, but the more he looked at it, the tighter his frown became.
There is no doubt that this is a book that records extraordinary knowledge, records of those medicinal powders that are said to be able to bring human flesh and bones to life, the elixirs that can travel through the universe to observe the principles of truth, the golden honey wine that can be used to travel among the stars, etc. Authenticity aside, the difficult and obscure incantations that follow are definitely incantations used in some extraordinary rituals.
And based on his experience, this is probably a spell used to summon or contact some existence that has ill intentions towards human beings...
"Is there anything wrong with this book?" Yang Xin couldn't help but ask when she saw Joseph turning over the last few pages and reading them over and over again.
Wan Qi, who also came to watch, took one look at the densely packed small characters on the Xuanjun Yongjingjing and felt a headache: "The words above make my head hurt..."
"The knowledge above is not something you should know..." After thinking about it, Joseph was still not ready to let them understand and know the true meaning of these words. Even if the memory was to be deleted later, this extraordinary knowledge should not be known to ordinary people. s things. This is not only to protect them and prevent them from being targeted by extraordinary beings after knowing these forbidden knowledge, and ultimately ending up with a bad death, but also to protect more innocent people from leaking this forbidden knowledge through them. Going out causes more people to suffer...
After all, there are all kinds of strange extraordinary abilities in the extraordinary field, and no one can guarantee whether an extraordinary creature will emerge that can restore memories.
With this in mind, Joseph closed the Xuanjun Yongjingjing in his hand.
"Joseph, Shigure looks a little strange..."
