Shen Luo's eyes widened, as if a cold snake had climbed up his back.
Those little hands were swollen and rotten, pale in color, and looked like floating corpses that had been soaked in water for a long time. However, they had slender black nails on them, and some were even dug into his flesh through his clothes.
Shen Luo opened his mouth to scream, but no sound came out, and he couldn't help but feel extremely frightened in his heart.
But then, he discovered something strange.
He couldn't feel any pain at all!
"Don't panic when something happens, don't panic when something happens..."
Shen Luo felt a little relieved and forced himself to calm down.
He tried to run Nameless Art and tried to mobilize Magic Power in his body to see if he could force away these pale ghost hands.
However, Magic Power inside Dantian made a slight movement, and he immediately felt a chill on the back of his neck, and an extremely powerful cold breath came out of it, making the hairs all over his body stand up.
"It's Jade Pillow!"
Shen Luo immediately noticed the change on the back of his neck.
Before he could make another move, a powerful devouring force suddenly came from the Jade Pillow behind his neck. He felt that the blood and essence in his body suddenly boiled, turning into wisps of white steam and being sucked out.
His eyes were bulging, but he could only watch his chest collapse a little bit, and his exposed hands quickly withered, becoming like ghost claws, and their vitality gradually disappeared.
Shen Luo's mind was in chaos, fear, doubt, unwillingness... all kinds of emotions were mixed together, and he tried his best to yell, "No..."
The next moment, he suddenly sat up from the bed, his chest heaving violently, and he was breathing heavily.
In a panic, he quickly looked at the mattress under him, only to see a circle of water stains soaked in sweat. How could there be any pale ghost hands as small as a child's?
Then, he turned over and looked at the palms and backs of his hands several times, and they were all intact, with no traces of blood being sucked out and turned into dry ghost claws.
"Is it really a nightmare?"
Shen Luo looked around with a somewhat confused expression, only to see that the doors and windows were all closed, and the furnishings in the house were not the same at all. Even the pillow under his head was the usual rattan pillow, and the Jade Pillow piece was placed quietly aside.
He raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, and his sleepiness disappeared immediately. He got up, lit a lamp, changed into clean clothes, came to the table and sat down.
The dim moonlight could still be seen outside the window, and it seemed to be late at night.
Shen Luo Recalling the scene in the nightmare just now, he still felt a little frightened. He took out a piece of Ghost-Expelling Talisman like a ghost, put it on his body, and inserted a trace of Magic Power into it.
As the light on the talisman illuminated, his eyes became hazy again. As he turned his eyes, he carefully inspected every corner of the room.
However, as soon as he turned his eyes, his brows suddenly jumped.
There is something really weird in the house!
He turned around and saw slender shadows hanging down from the roof to the head of his bed, flickering indistinctly and extremely blurry.
If he hadn't been so nervous and focused at the moment, he wouldn't have noticed it at all.
Shen Luo felt nervous and hurriedly held the lamp over, wanting to see clearly.
As a result, when the light moved over, what he could vaguely see just now disappeared.
He didn't hesitate and immediately blew out the oil lamp in one breath.
As the light in the room went out, the vaguely visible thing finally reappeared. It turned out to be hair-like, almost transparent light strands, all of which were transmitted down from the roof like falling rain.
Shen Luo's eyes followed the light filaments all the way down, and he saw a layer of translucent light surrounding Jade Pillow on the bed. All the light filaments hanging down from above fell on it and were absorbed in every bit.
"What is this..." Shen Luo was even more surprised, and stepped closer to the bed.
When he came closer, he lowered his head and glanced at Ghost-Expelling Talisman which was pressed against his chest, and found that it was not burning, and those strange light threads were not struggling or twisting.
"It doesn't look like Yin Fiend's thing..." Shen Luo felt a little calmer.
He stretched out a palm, like catching rainwater, and stretched it towards the almost transparent light strands, and the hazy white light immediately enveloped his palm.
However, he soon discovered that the moment those light strands fell into his palm, they penetrated his palm as if they were nothing and continued to gather towards Jade Pillow.
But he didn't feel any discomfort in his palms, and those light strands really seemed to be just shadows.
Shen Luo subconsciously raised his head and glanced at the roof, and saw that those light strands seemed to come from inside the roof, and they fit together very closely.
With a thought in his mind, he picked up Jade Pillow, pushed the door open and walked out.
The moonlight outside the house was like water, and the surroundings were quiet, except for the sound of insects chirping one after another.
Shen Luo carefully checked the surroundings and saw that except for the snoring coming from the adjacent senior brother's room, there was no sound of human beings. He immediately tiptoed to the ground, straightened his body, and landed lightly on the roof of the second floor.
He stood on the ridge of the roof, looked up into the sky, and saw the crystal rays of light chasing Jade Pillow, like water waterfalls hanging in the sky, seemingly endless and endless.
Shen Luo's gaze stayed on the night sky for a long time, and then he finally figured out the source of these crystal light filaments, which were actually projected from the starry sky.
"What is the connection between this optical fiber and this Jade Pillow?" Shen Luo was puzzled.
He had already slept for a while, and after being awakened by the nightmare, he was no longer sleepy. At this moment, he didn't even find the scene of falling light threads boring. He just kept holding Jade Pillow and looking up at the stars.
The light thread hung down all night, and Shen Luo watched it all night.
It wasn't until the next morning, when the sun was about to rise and the sky turned pale, that the light strands hanging down from the starry sky gradually became sparse. When the sky really brightened, they completely disappeared.
Until the end, Shen Luo didn't notice anything strange about Jade Pillow, so he jumped off the roof with Jade Pillow in his arms and returned to the house full of doubts.
At noon, Shen Luo went to the Zhaitang to have a meal and then took a walk to the back mountain.
When he reached a deserted place, he immediately quickened his pace and headed straight for the hidden valley.
Shen Luo came to the shore of the shallow pool, jumped up and jumped directly into the water.
A large splash of water suddenly appeared in the shallow pool, and a cool feeling suddenly surrounded him from all sides, making him feel more comfortable. It was as if the sleepiness from not sleeping most of the night yesterday disappeared in this moment.
However, he came here today not to relieve fatigue, but to try another spell included in Nameless Art, Spirit-Linking Demon-Commanding Art.
According to the classics, those who have extraordinary talent in Spirit-Linking Demon-Commanding Art can often successfully channel monsters only by cultivating to the first level of Nameless Art. However, those with poor talent may not be able to successfully channel monsters until they have practiced at the fifth or sixth level.
Shen Luo thought to himself that the first level Nameless Art was able to reach perfection naturally. Perhaps his own talent was not bad, but because his nature was more water-loving, it was only revealed after meeting Nameless Heavenly Scripture.
He walked to the center of the shallow pool and sat down cross-legged. The water was neither deep nor shallow, just up to his chest.
Then he closed his eyes and concentrated, pinching the spell with his hands, adjusting his breathing and exhaling, and began to operate Nameless Art silently.
Not long after, within Shen Luo Dantian, a cool air began to circulate along the meridians in the body. There were also waves of cold water aura wandering around in the pool, gathering towards his body.
As his thoughts gradually became clearer and he began to silently recite the mantra Spirit-Linking Demon-Commanding Art in his heart, all the movements around the valley suddenly began to become subtle.
At first, Shen Luo could still vaguely hear a few chirpings of birds. Soon, all he could hear was the sound of wind blowing through the gaps in the forest. Then he could only hear the sounds of insects and ants dormant underground, and the sound of fish paddling in the pond...
Until the end, he could only hear the sound of the stream flowing slowly.
At the same time, Shen Luo's mind became empty, and his slightly closed eyes were also pitch black, as if the whole person had crossed Liaokong time and appeared in another void...
