After realizing this, I immediately thought of Bi 'an. This must have been arranged by her, just like when she had given me the first volume of the Death Scripture. Although she hadn't personally given me the second volume, she had already prepared it for me.
With a smile, I didn't explain much to Liu Ruxu and walked over, extending my hand to take the wooden box.
Seeing my actions, Liu Ruxu was startled before becoming angry. He frowned at me and said, "I've already told you about the dangers. Why didn't you listen to my advice?
Could it be that you thought I was deceiving you? "
After saying that, he swung his sleeves and coldly snorted before saying, "That's good too. I'll have someone to accompany me in the Green Lantern Ancient Scroll!"
He was genuinely worried about my safety, so I didn't get angry. I just chuckled and took out the wooden box containing the first volume of the Death Scripture from Xiang Liu's leather pouch. I said to Liu Ruxu, "Brother Liu, please take a look at this."
He had already turned his head to the side, but after hearing my words, he didn't get angry and turned his head back. When he saw the two wooden boxes in my hands, his expression greatly changed. He took two steps back and pointed at me with a face full of disbelief. "You, you, you …"
After stammering for a long time, he was so shocked that he couldn't say a word.
I smiled again and embarrassedly rubbed my nose. "Brother Liu, it seems that I'm that person."
Liu Ruxu's face was still filled with shock. She stood in the distance and stared at me without moving.
I felt strange and was about to speak when he quickly walked towards me. When he was in front of me, he didn't say anything and instead knelt down.
I was momentarily shocked and hastily jumped to the side. I asked in astonishment, "Brother Liu, why are you doing this?"
At this moment, Liu Ruxu had a bitter smile on his face. He shook his head and said to me, "Zhou … No, Master, that year, I schemed for the ancient scroll in the wooden box. After my body died, my Yang Spirit was reborn and I recognized this ancient scroll as my master. Now that Master has taken the ancient scroll, Liu Ruxu is naturally Master's servant and is willing to follow by your side."
His words surprised me again.
Although I don't have much friendship with him, I am indebted to Wuyue. No matter what, I can't take Liu Ruxu as a servant. If I wait for Wuyue to wake up, how will she deal with herself?
Thinking about that, I immediately waved my hand and said, "Brother Liu, you don't have to be like this. What happened between you and the ancient scroll has nothing to do with you and me. I'm good friends with Senior Wuyue, so Brother Liu is naturally my friend. Don't mention what happened just now!"
Liu Ruxu bitterly smiled and shook her head again. "Back then, I was confused by this ancient scroll and lost my mind. It was my fate to suffer this tribulation. Now, all I have left is a remnant soul, and I am borrowing the power of this ancient scroll to live on. I will never be able to leave this ancient scroll, and my mind has long since become its slave. Master, even if you don't want to call me master and slave, I have no other choice."
Borrowing the power of this ancient scroll to survive?
Unable to leave for the rest of my life?
The Death Scripture scroll itself actually had such an effect?
Although I hadn't opened the box to look at the second volume of the Death Scripture, I had read through the first volume countless times since I was young. However, I had never sensed any power contained within it.
Just as I was pondering, a rumbling sound came from outside the cave. My heart tightened as I remembered that the fatty was still obstructing Lu Zhenyang and the people from Mount Longhu. I couldn't stay here and be entangled with Liu Ruxu for too long. Thus, I nodded and said, "Since Brother Liu is bound by this ancient scroll, let's study it together later and see if there's any way to break free."
Liu Ruxu wanted to say something more, but I waved my hand and interrupted her. Then, I extended my hand and opened the wooden box containing the second volume of the Death Scripture.
Seeing me open the box, Liu Ruxu immediately shut her mouth and kept quiet out of fear. It seemed that she was truly intimidated by the second volume of the Death Scripture and was willing to become a servant.
In my original imagination, the second volume of the Death Scripture should be the same as the first volume, a piece of cloth with words written on it. However, after opening the wooden box, I realized that I was completely wrong.
There was no cloth, paper, or even any words in the wooden box. There was only a fist-sized bronze oil lamp …
Looking at the small oil lamp, I was completely dumbfounded. Where was the second volume of the Death Scripture?
Liu Ruxu had also said that the wooden box contained an ancient scroll, but where was the ancient scroll?
What the hell was this oil lamp?
While I was dumbfounded, Liu Ruxu's heart was palpitating. She retreated far away from me and lowered her head, not daring to look at the oil lamp.
After being absent-minded for a long time, I asked Liu Ruxu, "You said that the wooden box contained an ancient scroll, but why is there only one oil lamp?"
Hearing my words, Liu Ruxu raised her head and glanced at me. However, she didn't look at the oil lamp. Instead, she glanced at me as if doubting my question. She replied, "Master, could it be that you don't know that this oil lamp is an ancient scroll?"
The oil lamp is an ancient scroll?
I didn't understand what she meant and asked, "How can an oil lamp be an ancient scroll?"
Liu Ruxu continued to look at me, her expression becoming increasingly strange. "Master, you really don't know?"
This time, I didn't ask further and only nodded.
Liu Ruxu's expression became one of not knowing whether to laugh or cry. She sighed and said, "Master, you don't even know this. How can an ancient scroll …"
He didn't finish his sentence, but it was clear that he didn't even know this. It was unbelievable that I was the person the ancient scroll was waiting for.
After sighing, Liu Ruxu sternly said, "This bronze oil lamp is an ancient divine item. It contains an extremely powerful divine power. If Master wants to read the ancient scroll, you only need to light it up."
"Light it up?"
I didn't understand what she meant. I looked at the simple and old oil lamp in my hand and found that there was no oil inside. The lamp was completely dry and didn't look like it could be used at all.
Seeing my actions, Liu Ruxu couldn't help but bitterly smile. She continued to explain, "When I said to light it up, I naturally didn't mean to use a flint to light it. What I meant was that Master only needs to infuse his True Essence into it and the ancient lamp will naturally light up."
After she said that, I quickly understood.
Since this bronze oil lamp was an ancient divine item, it naturally wouldn't be the same as a normal lamp. I was wrong.
I smiled awkwardly and directly infused my shaman True Essence into the bronze lamp.
Although the Death Scripture didn't mention the difference between Qi and shaman Qi, regardless of whether it was Chiyou's Tomb or the Suan Ni Nangong, they were all related to shaman Qi. From what I could see, this ancient bronze lamp should also be powered by shaman Qi.
However, I didn't expect that after infusing it with shaman Qi, it would be like a clay ox entering the sea.
I found it strange and thought back to the Nine Provinces Cauldron. I guessed that the amount of shaman Qi and True Essence I infused was too little. Thus, I took a deep breath and infused all of my shaman Qi and True Essence into the lamp.
With my current cultivation, my shaman Qi and True Essence had already reached a considerable level. Although I had used up a large portion of it in my fight with Lu Zhenyang, I had recovered quite a bit after half a day.
However, I didn't expect that even though I had infused almost all of my shaman Qi and True Essence into the lamp, there would still be no reaction.
I began to feel strange. No matter how magical this bronze lamp was and how much shaman Qi it required, even if my shaman Qi and True Essence didn't meet the requirements, there should at least be some reaction. Why wasn't there any life?
I asked Liu Ruxu, but she shook her head and said that she only knew some things because her Yang Spirit had been reborn through this bronze lamp. She had never used this bronze lamp before, so she didn't know the specific method.
I had no choice but to stop infusing the last bit of shaman Qi and True Essence and try to use my Taoist Qi.
In the fight just now, my Taoist Qi and True Essence had been consumed even more, but with the True Dragon's Vein in the jade bracelet, I had recovered quite a bit.
Under my control, a large amount of Taoist Qi and True Essence was sent into the bronze lamp until my body was almost dried up. However, just like before, there was still no reaction from the bronze lamp.
This time, I was at my wit's end.
