After that, Jiang Feng and the astrology continued to search!
After the time it takes to burn an incense stick to burn, the search for tens of thousands of ancient books was almost completed with the help of the huge astrology.
”A leaf?” Jiang Feng was a little bewildered. He felt that this maple leaf was a little familiar. In his previous life, he had seen it somewhere, but at this moment, he could not recall a single thing about it.
”What is it?” Yu Tong exclaimed!
Jiang Feng did not make a sound. He only felt a warm current rush into his chest, followed by a sharp pain. Jiang Feng ripped off his clothes, and a leaf imprint astonishingly appeared on his chest.
”What is this?” Yu Tong asked in surprise.
”I don't know. Just now, when the astrology was looking through some ancient books, it found this leaf imprint. When I used the astrology to check it, it somehow drilled into my body.” Jiang Feng's face was also filled with surprise, he sensed that the leaf mark was not simple, thus he used the astrology to check, but just as he touched it, the leaf mark released a gold light, and then fused into his body.
Jiang Feng touched his chest and discovered that he didn't feel anything at all, it was really just like a birthmark that was born with. Other than that, he didn't feel anything at all.
”Leaves?” Yu Tong was confused, she had not heard of any books in the Book Collection Vault that would store leaves.
Jiang Feng walked over to a place on the bookshelf and discovered that the book with the leaf mark was hidden there. Then, he took out an ancient book from the pile of information.
In fact, it couldn't be called a book. It was just a piece of yellowing paper.
”It was found here. Do you have any impression of it? Or perhaps within the Imperial City, have you heard of anyone mentioning it? ” Jiang Feng asked Yu Tong while reaching his hand out to take out the ancient paper. But when he held the yellow page in his hand, it instantly turned into dust.
This scene not only stunned Jiang Feng, but also made him unable to react. Even though there were many books and materials here that were countless of years old, they were extremely well protected and wouldn't turn into ashes the moment they touched the air.
Placing the palm in front of his eyes, Jiang Feng realized that it had indeed turned into ashes.
”It's the mark of the leaf. It possesses an indescribable power, allowing this piece of paper to live on for as long as it can. However, the leaf has been branded onto my body, and no longer has the power to penetrate it.” Jiang Feng said in a surprised tone.
”When I was young, I often came to the Compendium Pavilion, but I didn't discover anything. Within the Imperial City, I didn't hear anyone mention that there was any leaf imprint. It could be an Imperial City expert from a thousand years ago, I don't know where he collected it.” Yu Tong pondered for a moment, before replying seriously.
”Even you don't know.” Jiang Feng's eyes revealed a pondering look. As a princess, she did not know what this leaf mark was, and neither did the people of the Imperial City know what it was, or if it was discovered by others.
”Do you recognize this leaf?” Jiang Feng asked again.
”I … I didn't see it clearly. Can you let me see it again?” Yu Tong said shyly.
