Chapter 222 Echo Paper Tower
Song Miaozhu sent the video of the riverbed scenery she had just taken to Chen Yuanyuan.

Yuanyuanrunrun: No way! The river bottom is so ugly? No wonder everyone only goes diving in the ocean and no one goes diving in the rivers!

[Meow Bamboo: Yuanyuan, when you last went to the Jiangcheng Museum, was the River-Suppressing Stone Rhinoceros still on display?]

Yuanyuan Runrun: "Yes! It's quite large, and there are many stone carving practitioners here to see it! I heard there's a stone carving master at the Spiritual Adjustment Bureau who carved a river-suppressing stone beast modeled after the river-suppressing stone rhinoceros. He's raised it into a spiritual creature, and it actually has the power to purify water. Since that creature was placed in the center of the river, the water quality in the Jiangcheng section has improved. During flood season, the river water isn't even turbid anymore!"

Nowadays, museums everywhere have become places for practitioners to find inspiration. Chen Yuanyuan often goes to museums to look at ancient paintings.

If the River-Suppressing Stone Rhinoceros in Jiangcheng Museum is still on display, it means that the River-Suppressing Stone Rhinoceros has not absorbed any spiritual energy like the one at the bottom of Xiaoli River.

Otherwise, it would have been discovered by practitioners long ago.

This is also normal.

There is more spiritual energy in places with many people, but it is also consumed faster.

How can the attraction of the ownerless river-suppressing stone rhinoceros to spiritual energy be as strong as when practitioners make handicrafts?
Now, as soon as the spiritual energy of heaven and earth appears, it is quickly absorbed by the cultivators. It is impossible for it to slowly float to the water-suppressing stone rhinoceros at the bottom of the river to be absorbed by it.

Even if it can really transform into a spiritual creature by relying on ownerless spiritual energy, it must at least wait for the spiritual energy tide period when spiritual energy is gushing out.

Song Miaozhu returned to the cave in Yunwu Mountain with peace of mind.

While completing the order for the spiritual paper mount, he also began to select new secret techniques to learn from the "Paper-making Secret Techniques".

With her current level of cultivation and paper-making skills, there are three secret techniques that she can try - the Echo Paper Tower, the Shadow-Binding Paper Lock, and the Moon Dew Paper Lamp.

The echo paper tower could have been made a long time ago, but its function is to be able to hear any sound that happened in this place in the past. The nine-layer paper tower can be used to hear once on each layer, for a total of nine times, and it will be destroyed after use.

Song Miaozhu felt that the echo paper tower might not be used for the time being, so she was not in a hurry to learn it.

Now that the Eternal Life Society is gone and everything is stable, she plans to learn everything, whether useful or not. Maybe it will come in handy in the future.

Song Miaozhu's paper-making skills are more than enough to make the Shadow-Binding Paper Lock and the Moon-Dew Paper Lamp. Their appearances are easy to make, but the requirements for the spiritual power are relatively high.

With her current level of cultivation, she still needs the help of spirit stones to successfully activate her spirit.

The Shadow-Binding Paper Lock is a paper weapon. The rolled paper lock is placed in the sun. After being soaked in enough light, it is thrown out with spiritual power. It can bind the enemy's shadow and make the enemy unable to move.

Moon Dew Paper Cup is a kind of therapeutic paper-made item. It requires folding silver foil into a small paper bowl and placing it under the moonlight. Moon dew will condense in the bowl and can be used to wipe wounds and treat external injuries.

Song Miaozhu started by making the echo paper tower.

It has to be made using the paper-folding method, and it can't be too big, otherwise it will be inconvenient to hold.

Therefore, the bamboo strips must be cut into thin pieces, but also stable and have supportive strength.

Fortunately, she has now mastered the basic skills of paper-folding. She follows the drawings and even if problems arise, they do not bother her for too long.

After the ordered flying mounts were completed and delivered, she began to devote herself to making the Echo Paper Tower. Within a month, a small nine-layer paper tower was completed.

After successfully igniting the spirit and holding it in her palm, Song Miaozhu felt that she could also play the role of the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King.

Song Miaozhu made two echo paper towers in one breath, and used the Jianling bronze mirror to examine them, and found no problems.

She left one to be nourished with green spiritual energy, and used the remaining one on the spot.

Following the instructions in the "Secret Art of Paper-folding", Song Miaozhu placed the echo paper-folding next to his ear and stimulated it with spiritual power.

Suddenly, a rustling sound came from the paper tower, and after a while, there was a crackling sound.

"Could this be the sound of shaking paper and cutting bamboo strips when I was making paper-cuts?"

The top layer of the echo paper tower burned. This was the first time I listened to the echo, but I didn't hear anything useful.

However, Song Miaozhu was well prepared.

The inventors of the echoing paper tower emphasized the highly random nature of the echoes. Over countless years, the echoing paper tower could only hear a random portion of the sound.

As our ancestors said, if you want to hear something useful, a basket of echo paper towers may not be enough.

Song Miaozhu felt that it was good enough to be able to hear the sound compared to the first time she heard it.

She continued to inspire.

The second layer of the paper tower burned, and she heard faint footsteps.

When the third layer of the paper tower burned, she heard a cat meowing.

The fourth layer of the paper tower burned down, and she heard the sound of rain, which should have come from outside the cave.

The fifth and sixth floors of the paper tower burned down, leaving only a slight sound of wind.

The seventh layer of the paper tower burned, and she heard the voice of herself talking to herself before.

It was not until the eighth stimulation that Song Miaozhu heard the stranger's voice.

"Why is it raining all of a sudden? This place is great. Let's wait until the rain stops before leaving!"

"Yeah. I'm going to go explore the cave and see if there are any wild animals."

Gone.

After the ninth stimulation, no human voice was heard.

Even though Song Miaozhu was mentally prepared, she still felt disappointed: "Sure enough, I was right not to rush into this before. It's such a waste!"

The probability of hearing something useful is even lower than buying a lottery ticket!

She completely lost interest in the Echo Paper Tower and began to study the Shadow-Binding Paper Lock.

The shadow-binding paper lock is very simple to make. Use rough straw paper, roll it into a thick paper rope, and then add some spirit to it.

It was not difficult to roll the paper rope, but it took her a little effort to make it sparkle.

However, after it is made, it must be placed in the sun to absorb the power of sunlight before it can be used normally.

The weather is nice today. Song Miaozhu ran to the place where he went out last time, summoned the spiritual paper phoenix, rode the phoenix, and went to let the Binding Shadow Paper Lock bask in the sun.

The sunlight fell on the paper lock, giving it a layer of golden light.

When it looks like a pure gold rope at first glance, it is almost done.

“Who should I find to test it?”

Song Miaozhu looked down at the mountains below and came up with an idea.

A moment later, Song Miaozhuo, holding the shadow-binding paper lock, went to find the birds and beasts she had encountered when she was training in the mountains before.

Any photo she took or searched would reveal that they were severely protected animals. She would just look at them and not dare to touch them.

However, there should be no problem in trying out the shadow paper lock.

The shadow bound by the Shadow Binding Paper Lock cannot move but will not be harmed.

What should we do if the shadows of trees in the mountains and forests cover the shadows of birds and animals? Just lead them out until the sun sets.

She was the fastest runner in the Cloudy Mountains, and no beast could outrun her.

The first thing we encountered was a wild boar.

"It's you!"
