Chapter 3: The Mysterious Yellow Paper

  The next moment, a neatly folded piece of paper was taken out by Zhou Ming.

  The paper is very thin, as thin as a cicada's wing. When it comes into contact with the skin, it feels even more comfortable. It's light yellow in color, just like a neatly stacked sheet of tissue paper.

  After touching this yellow paper, the color change in Zhou Ming's eyes did not fade away, but instead became more and more obvious.

  Because he really felt the other person's fever, constantly emitting a warm aura to warm his palms. Now that winter has just begun, there is already a chill on Xinkai Street, and ordinary people have added some thickness to their clothes. Walking with bare hands can easily freeze your hands, but at this moment, Zhou Mingluo felt like he was holding a towel soaked in warm water, it was really warm and comfortable.

  But the yellow paper didn't have a hint of dampness, and he hadn't used it to soak in hot water either.

  Even in the midst of his drastic change in expression, Zhou Ming Luo could clearly feel that the weight of this yellow paper had increased by a fraction, as if it were heavier than before.

  "What's going on? How did it change?"

  He couldn't help but feel startled by Zhou Ming's words. He had to admit that he had been carrying this piece of paper with him for over ten years, and it was the first time he discovered it could change on its own.

  If someone knew about this right now, they would probably be shocked to the point of bulging eyes. A piece of paper has been stuck on his body for over ten years, which is simply unimaginable. Especially since this yellow paper is very clean and doesn't have a single wrinkle.

  But this is the fact.

  This piece of paper is so magical that it's beyond explanation.

  The first time he found this yellow paper, Zhou Ming was only six years old. He had already forgotten where he discovered it from.

  He just knew this paper would regenerate!

  This is amazing, you tear it apart on the spot, discard half of it casually and leave only half in your hand, but within a day, the remaining half will recover completely, just like blooming and bearing fruit, regrowing into a perfect state.

  Moreover, it can be soaked in water. Even if you soak it in water for half a day and then take it out to air dry, there will be no damage or creases. No matter what shape you fold it into, just shake it off casually, and all traces will disappear, restoring the paper to its most perfect flat state.

  At the age of sixteen or seventeen, it was a time when thinking was unrestrained and full of fantasy, and also a time when small thoughts and ideas were most abundant. It can be imagined that when Zhou Ming Luo first got it, he was filled with even more curiosity and speculation about it.

  And he also kept it as his own little secret, never telling anyone about it.

  But no matter how curious he was, over the years, nothing could explain to Zhou Ming Luo the strangeness of this piece of paper, which only grew larger and more precious as he received more scientific education.

  After all, this is a completely unscientific existence, so I don't know when he started carrying this paper with him at all times. Anyway, it doesn't take any effort to carry a piece of paper around.

  Later on, this kind of carrying has become a habit. Humans are emotional animals, and no matter what is carried close to the body for over ten years, it will probably produce a strange feeling.

  It was precisely because of this that Zhou Ming Luo became even more aware of the weight of this piece of paper, so even if it underwent a slight change, he wouldn't be deceived.

  It can even heat up on its own?

  "What's going on?"

  In the midst of confusion, Zhou Ming still hadn't completely lost his senses. He turned around to look left and right, then walked to a street corner building below, making sure there was no one around before he pinched the yellow paper in the corner and shook it slightly.

  With a shake, the originally folded yellow paper suddenly unfolded its body.

  However, after this stretch, its shape made Zhou Ming's eyes widen suddenly, and his mouth was also wide open.

  It's changed!

  It's really changed!

  If this yellow paper was originally, just like the past decade or so, similar to any ordinary 16K book page, except for its yellow color and cleanliness, there's nothing else that catches the eye. But now it has changed and become larger.

  It was as big as two 16 opens, and in the center, there was another fork, which split out a yellow paper.

  To put it simply, it becomes like a 16-page book with the front and back covers stuck together, with one page of the book in between.

  What shocked Zhou Ming even more was that on that single page in the middle of the book, there were actually words and diagrams!!

  This yellow paper... Oh, perhaps it's more accurate to say yellow book now.

  On that one page, the extra line of text at the very top was all profound and abstruse traditional Chinese characters.

  Wén Fú

  This page only has these three words, with a strange pattern stuck below. Originally, Zhou Ming's high school education background might not be recognizable at all, because these few traditional characters are also somewhat unusual and not the kind of traditional characters commonly used in Taiwan today, but rather like ancient texts brought from ancient artifacts, even older than those.

  If he hadn't followed Uncle Fang to study hard for three years, and had some knowledge in this area, and he himself was willing to work hard, then recognizing these few characters would be a pipe dream.

  But even so, it was still very difficult for him to identify.

  But in the end, he barely recognized it, and even then, it was a mix of confusion and guesswork. However, after recognizing the three words, they hit Zhou Mingluo's heart like a huge hammer, almost knocking his soul out of his body.

  What does "wen fu" mean?

  Talismans!! He's barely considered half a knowledgeable person, even if he doesn't know much, at least he knows what talismans are.

  That is one of the things that appear most frequently in Chinese Taoist culture, and even in some modern Hong Kong films, talismans occasionally appear. Isn't that a tool for catching ghosts? It has long been transformed into a feudal superstition by countless people.

  But now this yellow paper suddenly seemed to bloom and bear fruit like a flower, and a talisman appeared in front of him like a ghost.

  Let's call this talisman "Wenwen Fu" then. What is its function? Wen means to search, Wenwen...

  Staring blankly at the next few words, Zhou Ming Luo gradually became stunned, no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't understand the meaning of "Mò Wén Fú".

  Just as he stared blankly at these words, the three characters "Mò Wén Fú" suddenly moved, and a thought burst into his mind along with Zhou Ming's line of sight.

  In an instant, it was as if someone had directly instilled the meaning of【觅文符】into Zhou Mingluo's mind, and he suddenly realized. Just like a person who originally didn't know how to drive, but suddenly had the memories of a car expert merged into his brain, making him understand instantly.

  The effect of Wenwen Fu is actually clairvoyance, but clairvoyance is just a means to an end. Its purpose is still to find the Wen Qi through this means of clairvoyance.

  Then absorb [wen qi], nourish Huang Pishu itself.

  As for what "Wen Qi" is, the intention did not give a detailed explanation, but rather gave a goal. Antiques, such as historical ceramics, jade articles, ancient coins and other cultural and artistic crystallizations contain "Wen Qi".

  This requires Zhou Ming Luo to go find it himself, the insight of [Mò Wén Fú] is to let him see through the appearance of things, in order to better find the real antiques, and then wrap them in a yellow leather package, which can slowly absorb the [Wén Qì] within.

  Of course, the effect of this "Mò Wén Fú" is also limited. Firstly, it's the distance, which can only see through a range of one meter. And the existence time of a "Mò Wén Fú" is only one hour, and even every day at dawn and dusk, only one can be drawn.

  However, the Yellow Parchment can continue to grow in strength. Once it absorbs enough "wenqi", it can make the Yellow Parchment stronger and then give rise to new chapters, adding new talismans.

  (ps: New book's first week, only 10 essences were left, and the direction was used up yesterday, sweating, sorry to brothers who didn't make it to the essence! Also, please collect and recommend with all your might, ah, everyone give me some strength!)
