Although it was a bit pretentious, Chen Jinyuan still walked to the Taoist niche and bowed three times to the statue of the Taoist ancestor. The devil refining tower was extremely dangerous, and worshiping the god could give some psychological comfort even if the bad luck on his body could not be eliminated.
After bowing three times, there was no reaction from the statue. It still had the same mouth that seemed to be open and a smile that was not a smile.
With his internal energy surging, he gently flicked his sleeves on the stone table, and a strong wind directly rolled up the thick dust on the stone table. With his sleeves waving, the dust in the sky immediately disappeared.
His head was still a little dizzy, so Chen Jinyuan was not in a hurry to go upstairs. Anyway, there were still three days left, and there was no danger on this floor. He took a rest first, then sat cross-legged on the futon. Chen Jinyuan reached out and picked up the futon and sat on it.
The rolled bamboo slips were gently unfolded.
"The Tao can be Tao, but it is very Tao, and the name can be named, but it is very famous..."
"It turns out to be a volume of the Tao Te Ching~"
Rows of oracle bone characters were carved on the bamboo slips with bamboo knives. Chen Jinyuan was a little boring. The Tao Te Ching was written by Laojun Li Er. Almost everyone who practices Taoism can memorize it. Appearing in this demon refining tower, it should be...
The devil trapped in the tower reads this poem, hoping that he will change his evil ways and do good, and wholeheartedly follow the path.
He was not a devil, and he had never done anything harmful to nature, so this Tao Te Ching was of little use to him. Chen Jinyuan flipped through it casually, then put it back on the stone table and lay down on it.
I'm going to take a break and get some sleep before starting to break into the tower.
Just as he closed his eyes, Chen Jinyuan suddenly seemed to think of something. He sat up again, took the Tao Te Ching in his hand, and unfolded it again.
The Tao Te Ching is a celestial book written by the Supreme Taoist Patriarch. It is said that it contains the secrets of the great road and thousands of exquisite methods. It is passed down by Taoists to the miraculous level. This Tao Te Ching is carved with oracle bone characters. It must be very old, and maybe it is true.
What exquisite martial arts and supernatural powers will be recorded?
Thinking of this, Chen Jinyuan suddenly became energetic. He rolled up the bamboo slips with one hand and pointed with the index finger of the other hand at the dazzling oracle bone characters on the bamboo slips. He started reading one after another.
Fortunately, Chen Jinyuan has also done some research on ancient characters such as Oracle Bone Inscriptions. After reading the whole article, he did not encounter any new characters that he did not recognize.
After reading a volume, Chen Jinyuan raised his head, bit his finger, and frowned, as if in deep thought. After a while, he lowered his head and looked at the bamboo slips in his hand, "No, there's nothing different about it?"
With doubts, Chen Jinyuan reluctantly read the Tao Te Ching in his hand over and over again, and the sound of chanting resounded in the Demon Refining Tower.
Liangqing, what disappointed Chen Jinyuan was that although this Tao Te Ching was written in oracle bone script, it was no different from the secular world. It was just something on the street.
"Nima, it's really the same, I wasted so much time~" Chen Jinyuan threw the bamboo slips on the case angrily. He spent so much effort reading that he felt dizzy, but it turned out that all his efforts were in vain.
, Chen Jinyuan felt somewhat resentful in his heart.
"It's great to have this time to sleep~" He turned over and lay down on the stone table, rolled up the bamboo slip as a pillow and put it under his head. He closed his eyes and fell asleep.
"Road to Road, very Avenue..."
"Plop~"
Chen Jinyuan, who was sleeping, suddenly somersaulted and fell off the stone table. His face turned pale, and he was obviously frightened.
"Who's talking?" Chen Jinyuan fell asleep after a while. His eyes were wide open and he looked around with a wary expression. Just as he was sleeping, a sound like a bell suddenly came from his ears, waking him up.
You know, people are most vulnerable to being frightened while sleeping. Chen Jinyuan's heart was still beating wildly at this moment.
"Is there anyone else in this tower?" Chen Jinyuan looked around cautiously. He must know that those who were once locked up in this tower were all peerless demons, and their strength must be far beyond his own. In other words,
If there is someone here, then your current situation is very dangerous.
"No one? How is it possible? Could it be a nightmare!" I looked around and saw that the bottom of the tower was just such a big place. It could be said that it was clear at a glance where there were other people. Chen Jinyuan scratched his head and was convinced that there was no one else. He could only suspect that it was someone else.
It's not that I had a nightmare.
I sat on the desk and thought about it for a while, but couldn't come up with any results. I put down my guard, and my sleepiness immediately came back. I yawned and fell asleep again.
"The Tao can be Tao, but it is not Tao; the name can be named, but it is not named~~"
Just as he fell asleep, the old voice sounded in his ears again. Chen Jinyuan suddenly opened his eyes and stood up like a carp.
"Which senior is making such a joke with me~"
This time, Chen Jinyuan was almost convinced of the existence of that voice. It was still echoing in his ears even now. It was real and definitely not a nightmare. In other words, besides himself, there were others here.
Chen Jinyuan's heart beat rapidly. After saying one sentence, he immediately looked around with vigilance, waiting for the expert to appear. However, after waiting for a long time, no one showed up. The walls of the stone room were all empty. No one was there except himself.
.
"Could it be that the Supreme Taoist Ancestor appeared?" Chen Jinyuan suddenly turned around and looked at the statue of Laojun in the Taoist niche.
His spiritual consciousness probed towards the statue. It was carved out of stone. It was just an ordinary stone statue. Except that it was a little older, there was nothing different about it.
He shook his head, thinking about it, he felt ridiculous for his own thoughts. How could an ordinary stone statue speak, and wait until he fell asleep before coming out to scare him? Does this god also like to tease people for fun?
Sitting back on the stone table, Chen Jinyuan was puzzled. That voice really appeared in his ears. Even if it was a nightmare delusion the first time, it would definitely not be wrong the second time. But that voice
Where did it come from? Looking at the unobstructed view of the stone chamber, Chen Jinyuan scratched his head.
"Shit, is it really because the pillow is so hard that I can't get used to sleeping on it and I'm having nightmares?" Even Chen Jinyuan himself doesn't want to believe this reason. He always eats well and sleeps soundly. He sleeps until dawn and the quality of his sleep is super good.
There has never been a nightmare, and both times it was the same voice, the same tone, and the same words.
"Wait, pillow?" Chen Jinyuan was stunned, and his attention immediately focused on the "pillow" on the stone table, which was the bamboo slip of the "Tao Te Ching".
"Could it be the fault of this thing?" Chen Jinyuan picked up the Tao Te Ching and couldn't believe his guess. But when he thought about it carefully, there was nothing else in the stone room except the statue of Lao Jun.
Only this Tao Te Ching is the most suspicious.
