The oil lamp was like a firefly, lighting up the darkness in the house. However, this kind of lighting is like a grain of fire that cannot drive away the cold or the surrounding darkness. The drowsy Zhou Baopu suddenly fell into a state of unconsciousness. The open scroll was still opened lonely by the oil lamp.
Although he was already asleep, Zhou Baopu's mind was not at peace. I had been studying the talisman roots before, but now I am so exhausted that I fell asleep. But in Zhou Baopu's mind and subconscious, what kept flashing were still those elusive talisman roots.
Even though he still knew nothing about the changes in the talisman roots, Zhou Baopu still had his own understanding of the talisman roots. In his understanding, the talisman root is not a dead thing at all, it has no fixed form at all, so it does not matter that it can be truly memorized by rote.
Of course, Zhou Baopu can also roughly know that if you want to truly memorize the talisman roots, you must first understand them. Only by understanding them can we trace their laws and memorize the talisman roots one by one in our hearts. Moreover, only with understanding memory can we further use the runes to connect runes based on understanding. Only in this way can we truly step into the path of Talisman.
However, judging from Zhou Baopu's current state, it seems that it is still too early to say this. But in Zhou Baopu's view, no matter how difficult and dangerous the third level is, he must persevere and pass it. Moreover, passing does not count, you have to do your best if you want to do it, otherwise there will be no need to do it.
Zhou Baopu's understanding of the talisman roots was limited to a basic understanding of the original form of the talisman roots. It can be said that we have not yet found a way to the changes contained in it. However, because he had been thinking about this matter in his mind, Zhou Baopu still did not stop thinking and remembering even though he was already asleep.
I think about it every day and dream about it at night. This sentence refers to Zhou Baopu's current state.
In his mind, the talismans, like lightning and thunder, kept going back and forth in Zhou Baopu's mind, seemingly endlessly.
Whenever the initial form of a talisman appeared, Zhou Baopu would try his best to describe it in his dreams. Zhou Baopu, who seemed to be tracing the initial form of the talisman root in reality, did not forget his responsibilities even though he fell into sleep.
Reality and dreams seem to be indistinguishable from each other.
In his sleep, Zhou Baopu was still lying next to the table. Facing an oil lamp floating in the wind, with the dim yellow light, Zhou Baopu was looking at the scrolls with great concentration, and without blinking, he looked at the initial forms of the runes that flashed one by one in the scrolls. .
The last drop of pregnancy spirit liquid that Zhou Baopu swallowed before falling asleep finally took effect at this moment. After taking so much pregnant spirit liquid, the pregnant spirit liquid seemed to have a certain familiarity with Zhou Baopu's body. With almost no guidance from human consciousness, the pregnant spirit fluid spread through Zhou Baopu's body and brain along the track it had previously exerted, nourishing Zhou Baopu's body and mind.
When a person is awake, he is concentrating on something. In sleep, if he cannot let go of the waking thing, he will dream. Moreover, in this dream state, he must still be doing things related to what he did before when he was awake.
However, it is precisely because this kind of dreaming is extremely distracting that even while sleeping, the energy and even thought power consumed reaches an incredible level. Even when he is awake, the mental energy and physical energy consumed are definitely not that much.
Moreover, when a person falls asleep, his or her autonomous consciousness has faded due to the body losing its perception of the outside world. All he can rely on is his own subconscious mind, and what a person's subconscious mind can do is only based on animal instinct, which is very limited.
This also creates a danger, that is, Zhou Baopu lacks an understanding and grasp of the dangers he faces. Because even if he subconsciously senses danger, but does not have the conscious awareness to eliminate this danger, Zhou Baopu's situation will inevitably fall into a worrying situation.
When he was awake, Zhou Baopu's mind power might be a little scattered. However, because Zhou Baopu adopted a strategy, he did not memorize all the talismans at once, but recited them one by one. Even then, Zhou Baopu's telepathy was still being consumed at an incredible speed.
However, in his sleep, due to the lack of guidance from his own consciousness, the talisman roots that suddenly surged out of Zhou Baopu's mind were no longer a single type, but all 108 talisman root forms. It is conceivable that although Zhou Baopu is sleeping now, his mental power is being consumed at a terrifying speed.
His face, which was originally peaceful and calm, gradually became a little tangled, as if there was an invisible hand grabbing the muscles on his face, causing An Lan's original power of thought to fluctuate. It was as if a huge boulder had been thrown into it, and a stormy sea suddenly arose.
But for all this, Zhou Baopu had no ability to resist. Due to the disappearance of his independent consciousness, the subconscious resistance was very weak, which caused Zhou Baopu to fall into another crisis. If this crisis cannot be broken, Zhou Baopu's situation will fall into a very dangerous situation.
However, the old man who had rescued Zhou Baopu and had been observing Zhou Baopu, after rescuing Zhou Baopu and discovering that Zhou Baopu studied the talisman roots one by one, he safely left Zhou Baopu alone. The old man was relieved. He thought that with Zhou Baopu's improved mind power, there would be no danger if he studied the talisman roots one by one.
But perhaps because his mood was too complicated, the old man gave up watching Zhou Baopu after seeing that Zhou Baopu was fine.
But he may not know that it was his momentary negligence that caused Zhou Baopu's current crisis.
The first time the old man saw Zhou Baopu, his mood was no longer the same as An Lan's for many years. It was so similar that every time he thought about the accident, an uncontrollable sentimental look appeared on the old man's face, which made people feel very pitiful when he saw it.
Originally, the old man thought that he had forgotten that memory. But the appearance of Zhou Baopu overturned everything, allowing his seemingly closed memory to revive again. It's like the winter earth ushered in the spring rain and once again grew the green space of memories.
Just when Zhou Baopu was about to be unable to bear the torture, there was thunder outside the window, and in the sky outside the window, which was already dark and shiny, strong winds were blowing, and the dark clouds in the sky were rolling, as if the end of the world was about to happen. Come, nature shows its power in this silent winter night.
Like an ethereal elf, like a messenger from the sky, a ball of white snow with six petals fell leisurely from the sky. Drifting past the uncovered windows and bypassing the lights that had been extinguished by the strong wind, snowflakes fell on Zhou Baopu's cheeks. A cold feeling penetrated into the marrow and bones, causing Zhou Baopu's pale forehead to wrinkle unnaturally.
