Yu Peng was sitting on the sofa in the living room, holding this ancient book in his hand. It was very thin, with only more than ten pages, and was written with dense traditional Chinese characters. I don’t know how it was preserved. The book in his hand was at least several hundred pages long.

It's been years old, but it still looks like new. The paper is soft and delicate, smooth to the touch, and very tough.

The book cover and pages are dark yellow. No discoloration or stains due to moisture were found. It seems that either the person who saved the book paid great attention to protecting it, or there is something wrong with the material itself.

Ordinary ancient books, even today, no matter how well they are preserved, will still have some flaws.

Yu Peng's fingers moved on the paper, and he felt a little smooth. It was not the smoothness of ordinary book pages, and it was not made of wax.

At this time, Taoist Luo Zhen also interrupted.

"The material of this book is unusual, but I can't tell. I can only feel that it is made of materials I have never seen before."

Hearing this, Yu Peng thought for a while and opened the Burning Eye directly. If you can't see it with ordinary eyes, then I'll try something different!

After turning on the special ability, I discovered something unusual.

Usually the paper we read on is made of wood pulp that has been filtered and pressed through multiple layers, so when you zoom in, you will see various irregularly arranged filaments.

This book also has stripes, but every pulp thread, including the written words, is wrapped in a layer of unknown substance without radiation. The particles of this substance are extremely uniform and fine, and the surface is smooth and reflects the light shining from all directions, making the wood

The pulp and the minerals used to write words are completely wrapped up.

You really can't tell any difference by simply touching it, but the biggest feature is that after Yu Peng observed it for a long time, he didn't find any molecules escaping from this substance.

Wrapped in this layer, there will naturally be no loose molecular particles in the pages and text of the book.

This is amazing, enough to make both Yu Peng and Luo Zhen surprised for a long time. As far as we know, most things in the world, whether they are living things, plants, or metal objects, will have problems with the collapse of their molecular structure. Sometimes, for a long time,

Some time is short, this is a common sense or law of natural decomposition

But now this book? It’s a bit contrary to common sense, isn’t it?

At least Luo Zhen has lived for hundreds of years and has never seen anything whose molecular structure does not collapse.

Yu Peng naturally did not believe in evil, as if more spiritual energy was injected into his eyes, he looked more intently.

I flipped through each page carefully, and finally discovered at the edges of several pages that there were gaps in the stripes. It was like a clean white paper, and I suddenly discovered a few...

The black spots are so conspicuous.

Although there are only a few small gaps here and there, representing a few missing points, gaps are formed after all.

Yu Peng removed the infusion of spiritual power and let his aching eyes rest for a while. At the same time, his mind was running rapidly. It seems that this kind of material is very rare. Although it is not completely solid, the molecules are dispersed.

The frequency is very, very low, so low that it cannot be detected.

Anyone else might not be able to discover the missing parts like Yu Peng did.

According to the time analyzed based on these traces and the content of the book, this book is at least about 400 years old, and it may only take decades for a molecular particle to fall off occasionally. This is the difference, anything on the earth, whether it is metal

Stones, trees or elements all have molecular structures that disintegrate and fall off. Especially living things, millions of cells die and leave the body almost every day.

In our understanding, even if meteorites are compressed to the extreme by low temperatures in outer space, and then refined by high temperatures in the Earth's atmosphere until they are extremely strong, their molecular structures are peeling off every day.

Based on this alone, it is completely impossible to tell whether the material itself is special or whether the material is artificially processed. Of course, there is also a possibility that it is both.

Unable to find the answer from the materials, Yu Peng decisively gave up the idea of ​​further research and turned to read the content in the book.

Turning to the first page, there are three big characters "Li Sheng Ji" written vertically.

The second page begins with the main text, which is in the form of a travelogue. It tells the story of a man named Li Sheng, who lived in a small mountain village before he was sixteen. He farmed at sunrise and practiced calligraphy at sunset. It was ordinary. He went out when he was sixteen.

A story about traveling, but after walking for three cities, he returned home.

The first Lincheng is called Hujing City, because there is a lake on the edge of the town. The water is so clear that people can see their own shadows when looking at it. The book roughly describes some of the customs and customs of this town.

After staying for three months, I continued to visit the town’s specialty delicacies.

The second town was called Tua City. The origin of the name is unknown, but the town was built at the foot of an earth mountain. It also described some local customs. After staying for about 4 months, we continued to set off and arrived at the third town, called

Chuangui Town.

When I talked about this, I did not record the local customs and stories like before, but described a phenomenon.

There are a few highly respected people in the local area who have mastered a special method of carving gold and stone. They can use some special utensils to carve formations so that the ghosts of the dead can live in them and can be summoned at any time.

The small one can accommodate a single ghost, and the large one can accommodate more than ten or twenty ghosts without conflicting with each other.

The text uses unpronounceable traditional Chinese sentences to record the operation process. When modern people read traditional Chinese characters and ancient books, most of the time they use guessing and speculation to translate. There are often misunderstandings or incoherent words, or even

Sometimes the meaning of the original work is completely misinterpreted.

Fortunately, with the help of Taoist Luo Zhen, Yu Peng learned Traditional Chinese from an early age. Later, when he was in elementary school, the ghost teacher Li also taught many details of Traditional Chinese, which gave Yu Peng a high level of understanding of Traditional Chinese.

Quickly reading the content in the ancient book, Yu Peng quickly translated what it was talking about.

The population of this town is not large, only a few thousand people. There has been a custom here since a long time ago that as long as a new baby is born, the family will look for high-quality jade to spare before the baby is born.

A few people of special seniority carved the formation on the stone.

Take three drops of the baby's blood and drop it on the jade. Then as the baby grows, the jade will be soaked in the child's blood every other year. Fortunately, the jade is generally not very big, and you only need to soak the jade with an appropriate amount of blood.

, does not have much impact on children.

This custom must be maintained every year until adulthood, and no one can refuse.

When the person dies, whether due to old age, illness, or accident, and his body is cold and breathless, the heart will be taken out, a jade stone will be placed in the heart, and then it will be stored in an ancient well in the city for seven days.

If you take out the jade stone after seven days, you will find that the soul of the deceased can freely enter and exit the jade stone. Moreover, as long as the jade stone is not damaged, the soul can always exist and will not die.

This man named Li Sheng has stayed in this town for several years. Not only has he become familiar with everything in this town, but he has also seen many ghosts who have been dead for thousands of years. Not only can these ghosts freely come in and out of some jade objects, but they can also communicate with Li Sheng.

Of course, with the help of these ghosts, Li Sheng learned this secret technique.

The old people in the town didn't know what this secret method was called. Li Sheng named it "The Method of Expanding the Sky" in his book.

What follows is that after learning this secret technique, Li Sheng returned directly to his village, and the content of the book ends here.

"The method of expanding the sky?"

Yu Peng murmured to himself, looking at these four words, and then looked at Luo Zhen next to him.

"I feel like this book is a bit similar to your era. Haven't you heard of it before?"

Luo Zhen has read this book several times, so he naturally knows what Yu Peng is thinking.

"I have no impression, and I have never even heard of it. There are thousands of secret techniques in Taoism, and there will always be some secret techniques that everyone is not familiar with. Otherwise, why are they called secret techniques?"

Then Luo Zhen continued to say

"You also know that I was not a disciple of a large sect or sect during my lifetime. I practiced with my master, and the master did not teach many things. Later, I was limited by my spiritual state and could not directly contact the monks, which led to

What I know is not much.”

"It's so embarrassing"!

Then Luo Zhen spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders, and curled the corners of his mouth.

Yu Peng has become accustomed to Luo Zhen's current situation, and Gu Ze... Gu Ze has also adapted a little, but he still gets goosebumps every time.

"So that ghost a few days ago, how did you get him into the antique porcelain vase? Didn't the book say it must be jade?"

"It's just a coincidence... I didn't ask for it. I didn't expect it to happen."

With that said, Luo Zhen began to talk about what happened at that time.

The ghost relied on several layers of connections to find Gu Ze. Of course, the first thing Gu Ze thought of was Luo Zhen when it came to the so-called Taoist secrets, so he accompanied Luo Zhen there and took the book.

After Luo Zhen read the book, he felt that he did have some knowledge. When he asked the ghost, he said that he didn't like jade, but only loved porcelain. After reading the book in middle age, he didn't know what part of his head he couldn't turn around. Every year

They would also smear blood on the porcelain bottles.

It was smearing blood, of course not soaking. On the one hand, he didn't really believe in the content of the book. The other was that the porcelain bottle was a bit big. If it was soaked through, the person would probably die first.

Luo Zhen didn't understand how the secret method in the book worked, but he had used the demon-locking Qiankun bag before. He slightly changed the method, carved a formation for the porcelain bottle, and threw the ghost into the porcelain bottle.

When I thought about it, it really happened.

So much so that Luo Zhen was confused for a long time.

"Is it that simple?" When Yu Peng heard this, he was also confused.

"It's that simple!" Although Taoist Luo Zhen replied forcefully, his voice felt much softer than usual... and then he added.

"However, I obviously feel that the things mentioned in the book and the techniques I operate are definitely not the same thing. Whether it is the Qiankun Bag or the Soul-Sealing Umbrella, the formations they use are actually very simple. This causes the formation to

The maximum duration of the Dharma is only ten years, but the book says that some ghosts have lived in jade for thousands of years, which is a huge difference."

Of course Yu Peng knew what Taoist Luo Zhen meant and responded.

"Of course it's big. I've made the Qiankun bag myself, so of course I know what's going on."

While talking, Yu Peng casually picked up a cloth bag beside the sofa. This was a small bag containing toys that he had left behind when Xiaozi came to play a few days ago.

Ling Kong used his spiritual energy to draw a seemingly complicated formation on the cloth bag, but it also contained certain rules. When the last stroke was finished, the formation suddenly burst out with a ray of light and merged into the small cloth bag.

Yu Peng picked up the cloth bag and immersed himself in it. The appearance of the cloth bag was not as big as the palm of his hand, but what he could detect with his mind was that the inside of the cloth bag was at least the size of a basketball. Yu Peng then picked up a toy and threw it in.

Of course the toy is bigger than the cloth bag, but just throwing it inside through the small opening, opening the bag mouth, is a bit like looking from the mouth of a small well to the bottom of the well, and also a bit like looking out of the door through a cat's eye. What's inside

Space is much larger than what you can touch.

Luo Zhen took the simple Qiankun bag from Yu Peng's hand, took out the toy from it, looked at it again, and said
To be continued...
