ask the mirror

Chapter 4 Bronze Mirror (this chapter is free)

With the desire to collect it, Yu Ci still felt that it was weird to keep a head of unknown authenticity next to his body, so he tore a piece of cloth and wrapped it in two layers before putting it in his sleeve.

When storing this object, he touched something with his fingertips, and immediately smiled again. After carefully storing the monster's head, he straightened his body and took out the object.

This is a round bronze mirror, but the size of a palm.But when I looked at the back of the mirror, there was no mirror button, just engraved with dark lines, a few faint lines, irregular, as if scratched on it randomly.

This is indeed a mirror, but Yu Ci didn't use it as a mirror.

Turn the mirror upwards, inject true energy and shake it lightly, the mirror suddenly flashed a blue light, reflecting his beard and hair green.

He bent his middle two fingers, and flicked them in the blue light reflected by the bronze mirror, a hazy brilliance separated from the main body of the blue light, and as he wiped with his fingertips, a clear trajectory was born in the void, and a little bit of aura was attracted, Flying like a streamer, gathering around.

This is the true face of the so-called "entraining qi to form a talisman".

After all, Yu Ci has not transcended the "three hurdles of common customs", and he also needs spiritual guidance to draw talismans.It's just that Xuan Qing relied on the cinnabar talisman paper, while Yu Ci used the bronze mirror in his hand instead.

He draws out the blue light from his sleeve, and then draws in the air. As long as he is skillful, he can easily create a scene where the aura can be gathered without relying on external objects.

Yu Ci is already very familiar with this kind of pretense and deceit, probably because he is from this kind of background.At that time, he was only ** years old, and he had just started thinking about it, so he couldn't be called a cultivator at all. He was already known as a fairy boy in the Shuangxian sect. Within a thousand miles, he had countless followers and was worshiped by thousands of people. Compared with Xuanqing here Wouldn't it be a hundred times more brilliant to be filled with gods in a ruined temple on a barren mountain?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing again, but the smile was cold and the bronze mirror was as blue as frost, as if he had sensed it.

From then on to the north, I don't know how many thousands of miles, there is a country of thousands of miles, named Chen.There are [-] households in Chen State, who don't believe in Buddhism or Taoism, but only believe in the so-called "Twin Immortals".The two immortals, the male immortal Zilei and the female immortal Chiyin, established a sect and established a religion in Chen State. They can call wind and thunder, soar clouds and fog. In the eyes of the people of Chen State, they are no different from gods.

As for Yu Ci, who is a close attendant of the Shuangxian Sect, he is also revered as a "fairy boy" and revered by thousands of people.It's just that his temperament is different from ordinary people, and he is not as fanatical about the so-called "Twin Immortals" like the people of Chen Guo.After being a close servant for several years, he can see more clearly that the so-called twin immortals are also made of flesh and blood, and they also have the seven emotions and six desires. On some levels, their desires are even stronger than ordinary people.

For example, fear of death.

Shuangxian spends most of his time researching the so-called "Longevity Art". Their ultimate goal of establishing a religion in Chen Guo is also to achieve the wish of longevity. For this, they can give everything.

Because of this, Yu Ci's "fairy children" are not as glamorous as the outside world sees them.Yu Ci knew very well that the so-called "fairy boy" was actually a pair of immortals who were used to test the effects of various longevity techniques.Shuangxian used "retaining beauty and longevity" as a bait to let them practice those weird longevity methods, regardless of the possible serious consequences.

The lucky ones, like Yu Ci, were arranged to learn talismans. Although it was hard work, the safety was not bad.But those who were unlucky, inexplicably suffered from damage to the five internal organs, broken meridians, madness, and finally disappeared inexplicably.

Yu Ci has been by Shuangxian's side for more than four years, and the "Xiantong" who is juxtaposed with him has changed several times.He knew very well that if this continued, sooner or later his name would be added to those who disappeared without a trace.

Fortunately, he was lucky. One night when he was 13 years old, Shuangxian seemed to have come to his enemy's house. He could only hear the sound of swords in the universe, like the sound of thunder, and occasionally the aftermath would blow down, and the house would fall and the tree would be broken, as if the end was coming.

While most people were buried in being shot and resigned to fate, Yu Ci decided that this was his best chance to escape.

He was also daring. Before he escaped, he rushed into the bedroom of the Immortal Zilei who was on fire, and took away two treasures, which were the bronze mirror in his hand at this time, and a book "Shangqing Juxuan Xingshu Secret Teaching" Fu Jing", then rushed out while taking advantage of the chaos, and fled in disguise.

Maybe God really blessed him, and in the next few months, he hid all the way and escaped from Chen Guo, far away from the sphere of influence of the Shuangxian Sect, and the Shuangxian never chased him.But he no longer dared to stay around the Chen country. After many years, he traveled all the way to the south, traveling thousands of miles, and his knowledge increased day by day.If you only focus on Chen Guo, you are like a frog at the bottom of a well.

He knew what kind of a guy like Shuangxian was.

Shuangxian is also a monk.As a group of monks, they eat rosy clouds to induce Qi, take bait to make alchemy, pray to gods and ancestors, or visit caves. Of course, there are also those who, like the twin immortals, are enshrined by people to increase their cultivation. Their ultimate goal is only one, that is, It is to gradually prolong life through practice, and finally reach the point of eternal life and immortality.

There are also strong and weak points among monks.

Tongshen, Huandan, Buxu, Real Man, Jiefa, and Earth Immortal.

People use the six realms from low to high to divide the group of monks.

These six realms are juxtaposed with the "three ordinary barriers" such as qi movement, long breath, and clear aperture, and together form the nine barriers of practice, but the two are not comparable at all. Earth-shaking changes.

Yu Ci didn't know the more detailed situation, but he did know that the two immortals, Zi Lei and Chi Yin, were masters in the realm of returning alchemy.The two of them can control weapons to fly into the sky, use flying swords to kill people hundreds of miles away, have hundreds of years of lifespan, and live forever. In the eyes of ordinary people, they are already very remarkable, they are like gods.

But above them, there is a more sublime realm.Legend has it that the strong among the monks can ride dragons and clouds, overturn mountains and seas, and have all kinds of incredible supernatural powers.

People are always like this, and when they see it a lot, they don't think it's strange.After wandering around for a period of time, the shadow cast by the twin immortals on Yu Ci's heart was blown away, replaced by an urge to try.

It turns out they are not unique either, if they can do it, why can't I?

Thus, Yu Ci began to practice cultivation until now.

There was a popping sound in the bonfire, breaking the quiet atmosphere in the hall.Yu Ci let out a sigh of relief, pulled away from the past, and gently stroked the edge of the bronze mirror, his heart was filled with pure gratitude.

Yes, he couldn't help but appreciate the treasure in his hands.

When he broke into Zilei Daxian's bedroom and took away the "bronze mirror of the gods", it was the most valuable adventure he made in this life.

Because only when you really start to practice, you will know the difficulties of practice.

Since I learned the method of convincing the mind at the age of eight, and then assisted by the way of talismans in the "Shangqing Juxuanxingshu Secret Granting Talisman", after more than ten years, it is only the peak of Mingqiao, far from the basic standard of a true monk" There is still a hurdle that is difficult to overcome in the realm of "passing the gods".

It is a very simple idea to catch up with or even surpass the Shuangxian, but to implement it, in addition to consistent belief, you also need extraordinary courage, unparalleled luck, and of course, unimaginably huge consumption.

Cultivation is just two words, but to actually do it, you need Dharma, you need pills, you need spiritual veins, just take the way of talismans, and you need spiritual guidance such as the best cinnabar, talisman paper, letter incense, etc. , Yu Ci, a scattered person wandering all over the world, where did these resources come from?

Fortunately, there is also the Bronze Mirror of Illuminating God.

Over the years, Yu Ci didn't just use it to play tricks.In fact, it is not accurate to say that it is pretending to be a ghost, but the effect of the bronze mirror is real.

As long as this mirror is stimulated by true energy, it will reflect blue light. This light is a kind of excellent spirit guide. Using it to draw talismans, its effect is more powerful than those of cinnabar and talisman paper, and it is easy to get , As long as you use it, there will be almost no consumption. For Yu Ci who is not rich, this is more practical than any panacea.

The reason why Yu Ci was able to cultivate to such an extent by relying on the scrolled "Shangqing Juxuan Xingshu Secret Granting Talisman Sutra" without anyone to guide him, is mostly due to the contribution of this bronze mirror.

However, this is not enough. The path of cultivation cannot be supported by just one or two treasures. Yu Ci walks alone all the way, and it is very difficult. Every small progress has to pay an unimaginable price for ordinary people.But he is not discouraged yet, he is actively looking for a way to make progress quickly, even if he finds nothing in a short period of time.

I don't know, can the "Three Sun Talisman Sword" that Bai Sun Mansion used in exchange for the Shrimp Silk Grass this time be used as a reference, so that he can benefit from the talisman?

Slowly his thoughts dissipated, and finally returned to nothingness, Yu Ci entered a stable state that seemed to be sleeping but not sleeping.At this time, the vitality of the five internal organs is arranged in five colors of green, yellow, red, black, and white, in a state of denseness, gradually converging, and rolling between the square inches of the Lingtai.

At the same time, the cool air of the Niwan Palace in the brain circles like a bead, like a bright moon, sprinkled with clear light, and the light is like rain, falling on the five-colored air mist in the heart, and there is a gravitational force between the two.The bright moon hangs in the sky and does not move, while the colorful clouds slowly float up under the force, until they are exhausted at the bottom of the twelve-story building in the throat, and slowly sink down again, and so on.

During this process, the viscera, six internal organs, limbs, and orifices all over the body seem to be affected by gravity, and they faintly echo and communicate with the Niwan Palace.Slowly, the breath of the whole body is united into one piece, without distinction between each other, with the vitality of the five internal organs as the core, forming a thinner mist that permeates the whole body.Only the brain is illuminated by the bright moon, with the Niwan Palace as the center, with four directions and four corners, the nine palaces are quiet and clear, unmoved by the clouds and mist below.
