Ask the Mirror Chapter 8: Harvest

lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Asking Mirror!

Emotional outbursts are always temporary and will eventually return to a stable track.

Yu Ci lay down on the ground exhausted, not caring about the mud and water beneath him, spreading his limbs and looking at the rainy and mist-filled sky. The raindrops brushed against his cheeks, gradually calming down his overly agitated emotions.

The storage ring feels real in the palm of my hand, but the ring is already empty.

After reason took over, heartache took over at the same time: It’s too much, it’s too much! When he was ecstatic just now, he actually poured out everything in the ring, and then kicked it into a mess. The trophies that were originally clear were now in a mess. If something valuable was damaged, wouldn't it be a heavy loss?

However, what Yu Ci wants to know most is, how does the Theosophy monk’s luggage compare to his? Maybe it would open a window to an unknown world and satisfy his curiosity for a while.

Driven by this thought, Yu Ci turned over and sat up. Seeing the pieces of debris scattered within a radius of more than ten feet, he groaned and laughed again. His mood was so subtle that it is difficult to describe.

The rain gradually stopped, but because it had been soaked in the mud soup, less than half of the loot was in shape. Yu Ci didn't care if there were any valuables in it. Other things are divided into categories.

The first valuable object Yu Ci found was a stone box containing shrimp grass. Opening the lid of the box, Yu Ci clicked his tongue. Inside the box, several layers of shrimp grass were spread out. Each plant had complete roots and stems, and was of extremely high quality. This was probably because of Taoist Yan's careful selection.

After a cursory inspection, there were at least about seven or eight hundred plants in the stone box. Coupled with Yu Ci's own harvest, it was more than enough to exchange for a Sanyang Talisman Sword. This alone made him feel that it would be hard to fight for this. Field life is really worth it.

The next thing picked out were eight jade products. A jade slip, about four inches long and **** wide, with a hazy yellow color. Yu Ci first put it aside, and then there were seven small jade tablets, all only the size of a palm and made of ordinary material, but they were engraved with typical talisman-making techniques. complex texture. Yu Ci immediately thought of the legendary talisman style common among monks.

Jade Talisman, this must be a Jade Talisman! It is a very useful method to use jade as the material and carve rune patterns on it in advance to store the power of the rune and activate it during battle to achieve the purpose of instantaneous use of the rune. When it came to his own expertise, Yu Ci was particularly attentive. He played with it carefully for a while and identified the rune system on it one by one, and then carefully put the storage ring away.

The last object that attracted him was a pocket dagger that was only about an inch long. It looked like a handicraft, but it had a blade, a handle, and more. But with this size, not to mention a strong man like Taoist Yan, even a newborn baby might not be able to use it.

Yu Ci originally thought it was a gadget, but after trying it for a while, she found that the blade was very sharp. It could be said to cut through stone as well as mud, and the material was so strong that it could even block the edge of the Nine Yang Talisman Sword. . After looking at it for a long time, I still couldn't figure it out, so I could only put it away temporarily.

At this time, all the piles of miscellaneous items were sorted out. What was useful were the seven jade talismans, the jade slips left on hand, and the Nine Yang Talisman Sword that had been seized earlier. Is this the total net worth of the Theosophy monk?

Yu Ci was a little excited and a little disappointed, but he quickly got rid of his greedy thoughts and calmed his mind. After his emotions calmed down, he focused on the jade slip in his hand.

When he was in the Shuangxian Sect, he had seen this kind of object more than once. We also know that this is used by monks to store all kinds of information and techniques. But just like the storage ring, without the ability to distinguish and transform thoughts, ordinary people cannot detect its secrets. If not for this, when he broke into the palace of the Purple Thunder Immortal, he would never have just taken a bound volume of "Shangqing Juxuan" "Xingshu Secret Teaching Talisman Scripture".

As soon as I thought about the jade slip, a series of highly organized information poured into my mind, faster than reading any book. Yu Ci soon learned that the jade slips were not about any cultivation method, but what Taoist Yan called the "melting" method, which was a complete process of refining the Three Yang Talisman Sword into the Pure Yang Talisman Sword.

This is very interesting. Yu Ci worked so hard to come to the Sky Rift Valley in exchange for a Sanyang Talisman Sword, from which he could find ideas for improving his own talisman, and ultimately improve his cultivation. But after this arduous battle, the Talisman Sword was available, and the method for refining the Talisman Sword was available, and the grade was only higher. More importantly, he broke through the barriers of the "three secular barriers" in one fell swoop and became a veritable monk. Nothing in the world is more wonderful than this.

Yu Ci did not continue to look at it. He only put the jade slip and the Jiuyang Talisman Sword into the storage ring, and then put various objects on his body, such as "Shangqing Juxuan Xingshu Secret Instruction Talisman" All the books on the Sutra and the treasure bag that I carried were moved into the ring, and my body immediately became much lighter.

At this time, he moved his gaze and scanned the headless body of Taoist Yan. He wasn't going to clean up this place anymore, so he just let the corpses lie here for wild beasts and birds to eat them. Thinking about it, if he died in battle, Taoist Yan would at best give him this treatment.

Next, Yu Ci returned to the forest clearing where the incident occurred.

The rain poured down and the bonfire was extinguished. Taoist Yan was busy chasing him and did not clean up the place. The twenty-two corpses were still placed according to the moment of death. The strong smell of blood still remained, temporarily It hasn't attracted anyone else's prying eyes, but it has attracted several wild beasts, ready to enjoy this heavenly feast.

Yu Ci swung his sword to drive these beasts away, but when he turned around and saw these corpses, he was a little stunned for a moment.

But he was decisive after all, and quickly gathered the corpses together, adding dry firewood around them, and Taoist Yan's head was placed in front.

Everything was ready. He stood next to the piled corpses. After calming down for a moment, he stretched out his hand and drew it from top to bottom, forming a soul-attracting fairy swan, with the sun and moon beside it, clouds below, and then a plate. The dragon flies and carries the soul to heaven. A set of requiem talismans is instantly created, and a spiritual light shines all over the corpse.

He then stepped forward, raised the Nine-Yang Talisman Sword, and injected his true energy. The red flames flew up, and a fire ignited in the blink of an eye. The remains were wrapped in flames and gradually turned into ashes.

In these barren mountains and ridges where wild beasts are everywhere, there is almost no possibility of being buried in peace. He could only use the ancient witchcraft ritual, hoping that the souls of these people could rest in peace in heaven.

The flames were burning brightly, and Yu Ci stood aside, with twenty-two stone boxes neatly placed at his feet. He held the sword as a salute and prayed silently for a moment, then picked up one of them and opened the lid of the box, revealing the neatly arranged shrimp beetles inside.

After a little hesitation, he finally grabbed the precious herb and threw it into the flames. As soon as there was one, there were two. Soon, twenty-two stone boxes were opened one after another, and the shrimps and grasses were thrown in one after another.

The number of plants in the stone box ranged from dozens to two to three hundred, adding up to a thousand and a half. They were just thrown into the fire and turned into ashes together with their original owners.

Maybe there are unknown selfishness and despicable thoughts hidden in this pile of ashes, but their master died after all, and he died in the midst of joyful laughter. As the only one left among them, Yu Ci felt that he should express something, and this was the best way he could do it.

Therefore, Yu Ci did not feel that he was wasting his resources, and of course, he did not feel that such an act was noble. He just felt very comfortable, and he used this method to distinguish himself from Taoist Yan who was seeking wealth and murder, so as to obtain the qualification to requiem the souls of these deceased people.

************************

It was another night, and Yu Ci was sitting in the middle of the depression at the top of the mountain, with the bright moon hanging above his head, shining brightly.

This is his new habitat. It took him most of the day to find it in the dense forest on the top of a mountain two hundred miles away from the battlefield last night. This place is located in the pine forest on the top of a mountain peak. It is a naturally formed rock depression with a cliff protruding behind it, which can provide shelter from wind and rain. Below it is guarded by a group of pines. From below, the hiding place is absolutely invisible.

And because it is blocked by the cliff above, even if someone flies from the sky, it will take some effort to find this place.

Although there are fewer escape routes here and it is no safer than the place last night, Yu Ci doesn't care about this. He was anxious to find out the actual progress of his cultivation, and being able to find such a private and quiet place proved his patience.

Yu Ci wanted to enter concentration immediately, but she felt that her mind could not settle down and she was in a bad state. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly realized it. He shook his head and smiled, and took out the Zhaoshen Bronze Mirror from the storage ring. Over the years, it had become a habit for him to hold a bronze mirror in his hand while he meditated, but when he put it in, he felt uncomfortable all over.

Seeing the traces of burnt eyebrows in the mirror, he suddenly became childlike, patted the mirror, and made a face in the mirror: "Old friend, I still need you to take care of me!"

The bronze mirror was silent, while Yu Ci laughed, still holding the bronze mirror firmly and falling into concentration.

Sit quietly under the moonlight, bathe in the brilliance, and breathe in and out like silk.

Contemplation and admiration always complement each other. The sun rises and sets in the moon as Yu Ci breathes. The law is like the air of heaven and earth. The pure moon essence is collected in the breath and inhaled, and circulates in the internal organs, stimulating the five colors. Cloud Qi nourishes the internal organs.

The connection between the essence, energy and spirit of the human body is subtle, the vitality of the internal organs is released, and the brain and uterus are also affected. There is cool air rising from the Niwan Palace, forming a bright moon and shining all over the body.

Using God as the moon and Qi as the cloud, Yu Ci has been practicing the "Nine Palaces of Moon Brightness" for nearly 20 years. When thinking about the bright moon in the brain palace, there is no need to deliberately focus on it. If the consciousness is there, it will be there naturally. There is a clear radiance injected into it, which connects with the qi and blood of the limbs and bones, joints and joints, and at the same time nourishes the soul and promotes its growth.

But today is different. In the past, the bright moon always shone in the Niwan Palace, guiding the energy of the internal organs to rise and fall. But now, this round of bright moon is inspired by the essence of the moonlight, and spontaneously moves out of the Niwan Palace, from the bridal chamber to the Mingtang, and then ascends to the heaven and the emperor. It looks like it is going to travel around the palaces of Shangyuan.

Every inch of Mingyue's movement brings about immeasurable changes in Qi, and all organs of flesh and blood, muscles, bones, and acupoints respond. The reactions are extremely small, but extremely subtle. It's like a subtle sound in the silence of the night, soaking into every inch of texture and blood.

Yu Ci’s mind naturally attached itself to the bright moon, traveling around the nine palaces, experiencing the novelty of it.

Perhaps because of his concentration, he gradually forgot where he was and no longer cared about the distribution of the nine palaces. In a trance, he seemed to be living in the bright moon, walking around in the infinite void, rising east and west with it. Falling, synodic looking round and missing.

Current flow passed around, and the feeling suddenly changed, the infinite void remained the same, the bright moon was like a boat, and he took it and floated in the sea of ​​​​stars. Wherever he passed, there was spiritual light shining, the stars were spread out, hundreds of billions of stars were densely packed in the sky, and it was majestic. Boundless.

As the bright moon moves, you can't see its end, its tail, its top, or its bottom. In all directions, there is an endless sea of ​​stars, brilliant and brilliant. Yu Ci wanted to sense it, but her thoughts had no place to rely on. She only felt that the void was not empty, and it seemed that there were countless spirits hidden in it, but they were intertwined together, and it was chaotic, and she didn't know what was going on.

Eager to collect it, of course, a sure red ticket is also essential. Brother Yuba needs a precious mirror to look after me, and I also need a book friend to look after me.
