When Shen Luo returned to Songfan County Town, it was a few minutes later than the previous day, and the city gate was closed again.
"It seems that Songfan County Town and I really don't get along." Shen Luo laughed at himself, turned the horse's head, and headed towards a nearby town.
Due to the coma the day before, the innkeepers in the town naturally remembered Shen Luo, and avoided them all like the plague, let alone soliciting business.
Shen Luo didn't care about this matter, but felt relieved.
It seems that Liu Baichuan and Shopkeeper Hou have not revealed their identities. After all, this trip was hidden from everyone. Now that they have found an opportunity, if they are too public, there is no guarantee that the news will not spread back to Chunhua County or Spring Autumn Temple, causing unnecessary trouble.
Shen Luo drove his horse to the small inn before. The person in front of the door was still Little Third.
"Mr. Shen, you've come to stay at the inn again. Welcome!" Little Third saw Shen Luo, his eyes lit up, and he stepped forward diligently to hold the reins of the horse.
Shen Luo nodded, dismounted, handed the reins to Little Third, and walked into the inn.
The business in the inn was still very deserted, and there were not many people sitting in the lobby.
"Mr. Shen, you are here, the shop is really flourishing!" The shopkeeper surnamed Hou was settling accounts in the store. When he saw Shen Luo, his face showed uncontrollable joy, and he immediately dropped his account book and went up to meet him.
"Shopkeeper Hou You're welcome, arrange a quieter guest room for me." Shen Luo said calmly.
"No problem, young master, come with me. Little Third, please take care of this place." The shopkeeper surnamed Hou agreed and personally led the way. The guests in the lobby were quite surprised, and they whispered to each other and guessed the identity of Shen Luo.
The two walked through a corridor in the back hall of the inn and came to the innermost room.
There is a lush banyan tree in the yard in front of this room, facing the window. The banyan tree is tall and leafy, casting a large shadow that envelopes the entire room, giving people a sense of tranquility.
"This room is far away from the street outside. It is very quiet. The layout inside is also the best in the store. Do you think it is okay?" The shopkeeper surnamed Hou said and opened the door and invited Shen Luo into the room.
The furniture and furnishings in the house are all made of mahogany, with carved dragons and painted phoenixes, and are antique. It is indeed much more upscale than the room I lived in before.
"Yes, this is it." Shen Luo didn't care about the furnishings inside. Seeing that this place was really remote and quiet, he nodded.
"How many days will the young master stay in the shop this time?" Seeing that Shen Luo was satisfied, the shopkeeper surnamed Hou rubbed his hands with some joy and asked.
"You may have to stay for two or three days. If you don't have my instructions, you don't have to ask the waiters to come over. Also, please don't tell anyone else about my identity and the information about my here, including Liu Baichuan." Shen Luo thought for a while and added.
"Don't worry, young master, I don't have any other skills. I'm sure my tone is strict enough. Besides, Dr. Liu has gone out for medical treatment and it will probably take a few days to come back." After hearing this, the shopkeeper surnamed Hou immediately patted his chest and assured.
"That's good." Shen Luo said.
"Young Master, you must be very tired with his busy appearance. You should take a rest first. I will ask the waiter to bring you dinner later." The shopkeeper surnamed Hou said again.
"There is no need to send dinner, I want to go to bed early." Shen Luo waved his hand.
Nowadays, he is Minor Transforming Yang Art perfect, with Yang Hardness Force abundant in his body. He is in high spirits and does not feel sleepy or hungry at all. But of course, he will not tell outsiders about this.
"Okay, then the young master should rest early and I won't disturb you." The shopkeeper surnamed Hou nodded with a smile, said goodbye and left, closing the door behind him.
Shen Luo was quite surprised by the enthusiasm of the shopkeeper surnamed Hou, but after thinking about it, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He could only attribute it to his reputation in Chunhua County, so he didn't think much about it.
When the other party's footsteps were gone, he immediately locked the door from behind and locked the window from the inside to ensure that no one could come in. Then he sat back on the bed and eagerly took out the Stone Casket. After opening it, he took out the leather volume.
As a result, as soon as he picked up the book, he suddenly let out a soft sigh, turned the book over, and looked at the end of the book.
Behind the last page, there are obvious signs of being torn apart.
Before, he only looked at Ancient Seal Script in the book and didn't pay attention to it.
"Could it be that this volume is only half a volume?" Shen Luo frowned slightly.
But he didn't get too hung up on this, so let's just take half of it. Since he only found this half, it means that Zhouzi, who was eventually called "Celestial Master Yu" in Yu Yan's mouth, should have only gotten this half.
Shen Luo calmed down, started flipping through the scroll from the first page, and read the scroll word by word, trying to understand the content.
Time passed little by little, and half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
Shen Luo raised his head from the book with frowning eyebrows, sighed suddenly, threw the book on the bed, and lay on the bed with his body spread out.
Although he really wanted to understand the text in the leather scroll, he knew too little about Ancient Seal Script. He could only read four or five characters on a page.
As far as he knew, this kind of Ancient Seal Script was very ancient and very difficult. He had only seen sporadic records in some miscellaneous notes. It was impossible to decipher the unknown words with imagination. At his level, trying to understand the mysteries in the book was tantamount to dreaming.
"Should we learn Ancient Seal Script first?" Shen Luo thought to himself.
Where can he learn just for a short while? At least when he was in Chunhua County, he had never heard of any great scholar in the city who could understand Ancient Seal Script.
Even if you can find someone who understands this kind of writing, the contents of the book may be leaked. After all, it is inevitable for a person to have selfish thoughts when seeing such a good thing that can lead to spiritual practice.
After much thought, he couldn't come up with a safe solution.
"I wonder how that 'Celestial Master Yu' solved this problem back then? He was a boatman on the river, so he probably didn't understand Ancient Seal Script."
"Forget it, at worst, it will take me a year and a half to figure out how to learn this Ancient Seal Script first. Anyway, I have now perfected Minor Transforming Yang Art, so I can't afford to waste this time..." Shen Luo turned over and sat up, grabbed the scroll, but then he made a movement in his hand, and a trace of vigilance flashed in his eyes.
