Chapter 1042 Catkins Falling
Lu Cenyin handed me two hammers.

Pick out seams with a small hammer.

Sledgehammer done.

Of course, we were extremely careful during the process for fear of damaging the contents.

As the big yeast ball cracked, we found that although the surface of the ball was dry, the inside of the ball was still wet, and there was a strong aroma of wine.

The ball is indeed hollow.

Because it has been soaked in wine for a long time, after it cracks, there is still a little wine at the bottom.

Take a light and shine inside.

We were astonished.

It turned out to be a piece of yellowish and somewhat transparent paper, wet, half in the wine and half outside.

We originally thought it was a magical weapon from the Su family, but when we saw this situation, we felt a chill in our hearts.

Why is there only one piece of paper? !
and.

This yeast ball can obviously penetrate the wine slowly!

If there is a secret inside the paper, why would Taoist Master Zi put it inside? Doesn't this mean destroying things? !

Although Lu Cenyin and I had an extremely strong desire to take out the paper and see if there were any secrets in it, neither of us dared to move because we didn’t know how long the paper had been soaked. If we crush this thing to pieces, we'll be done with it.

Looked at it for a long time.

I said, "No!"

Lu Cenyin asked: "What's wrong?"

I said, "Take a closer look. Does this paper look a bit like wax paper?"

Wax paper.

Paper used by emperors in ancient palaces is waterproof, moisture-proof and insect-proof.

After hearing this, Lu Cenyin quickly took the foreign oil lamp and leaned over to take a look. After reading it, he looked up and said to me in surprise: "It does look like it! But it should have been specially improved, like a very special kind of oil paper." , when I shined the light on it just now, its surface was glowing with a layer of elixir, which is absolutely waterproof!"

Some papers are waterproof.

A kind of paper is made from the bark of bamboo and hemp trees, and the outside is brushed with tung oil, then soaked and dried in the sun, and a waterproof oil paper is formed.

The ancients used this technique to make paper. The thick ones were used to make oil-paper umbrellas, and the thin and transparent ones were used to cover windows and prevent wind and rain.

When we watch TV dramas, we often see ancient people wet their fingers with their fingers in order to peek, and then gently poked them on the window paper, and a small round hole was formed.

In fact, this is a bit exaggerated.

The oil paper used by the ancients to paper windows is unlikely to be stained by saliva. Even if you want to poke it, you have to use a lot of force. Moreover, because the oil paper is one piece, it is unlikely to poke round and regular holes the size of your fingers. A large irregular hole may even involve the entire window paper being torn, making it very easy to be discovered by people in the house.

Unless the windows are covered with ordinary rice paper.

Although we discovered that it was a kind of oil paper made of special materials, we still didn't dare to act rashly.

The two carefully cleaned the wine on the side and let the paper lie there.

We turned on the electric fan and blew it slowly on the paper.

In order to prevent the paper from being blown away, objects were specially used to block it.

Just blew it all night.

Get up the next morning.

The wine on the paper has completely dried.

I carefully took it out. It was relatively thick and light yellow on the outside. The wax was well preserved, but there was not a single word on it, and there was no hint of any secret inside.

What kind of special material is oil wax paper made of? If you want to write something, you cannot write on the outside because there is a layer of grease on the outside and you cannot write on it. You must first draw on the paper after it is made, and then use tung oil on the outside. cover.That is to say.

There is nothing else on this paper except a layer of yellow dye on the surface.

Lu Cenyin specially brought a flashlight over and took a photo of it on the paper.

Still can't see anything.

I took a closer look and noticed something unusual.

"The secret is inside!"

When Lu Cenyin heard this, he looked at me with confusion.

I explained: "This is a kind of sandwich oil paper, that is to say, in addition to the front and back sides, there is also a small sandwich inside."

After hearing this, Lu Cenyin quickly took it over and took a look: "It's true... But even if there is a sandwich inside, the paper has been soaked for who knows how long, and it is almost integrated with the inner and outer sheets. We have to peel them off. , the paper inside will definitely be damaged."

I smiled and said, "You have almost forgotten my fingertip skills."

When Lu Chenyin heard this, he was stunned for a moment, but then he came to his senses and asked: "Nianhua bergamot?!"

I nodded: "This is a top-notch secret preservation method! Put the oil paper in the yeast ball and let the wine slowly penetrate. The speed cannot be too fast, otherwise it will easily rot completely. It cannot be too slow, otherwise the three pieces of paper will It cannot be completely integrated. After a long period of soaking, the years have slowly melted several pieces of paper into one."

"In this way, even if someone else gets the Jiquqiu, it is impossible to discover the secret inside without the use of Buddha's Hands. Uncle Tang and Taoist Master Mo Feizi did this. They are not doing this, but to ensure that the secret only has a certain number of people. Only those who can reveal it can be revealed. This is why Uncle Tang said that in order to redeem the horoscope, my parents or I must come in person!"

Lu Cenyin asked: "When will it open?"

I looked out the window: "Theoretically, it can be done now, but to avoid accidents, let it be exposed to the sun first, and then I will open it again after it is completely dry!"

After speaking.

I placed the paper on the window frame.

The sun shines in.

The yellow paper against which it stood was glowing with warm light, shining like the holy light of Taoism.

Lu Cenyin sighed: "These elders really have good intentions."

to this moment.

Instead, I felt calm inside.

Been through so much.

I believe even more that anything that happens has its own cause and effect. What should come will definitely come, and what should be lost will never stay a moment longer.

All living beings.

Persistence, hard work, no shame.

That's enough.

the sun is big.

Lu Chenyin and I were like two children watching ants move, we kept looking at the piece of paper stupidly.

noon.

The paper has dried completely and the corners are slightly curled.

The time has come!

I picked up the paper, asked Lu Cenyin to take two steps back, closed his eyes, and calmed down. I clamped a corner of the paper with my hand, feeling the touch of it on my fingertips, and started rubbing it with my fingers quickly. , as I opened my mouth, the piece of oil paper made an extremely pleasant and small sound.

"Bah..."

split into two!
The interlayer in the middle is falling like catkins!
