Ask the Mirror Chapter 24: Spots
lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Asking Mirror!
The architectural layout of Danya Shangcheng is actually very simple. From the foot of the mountain to the mountainside, there are residences for servants and their families. After hundreds of years of development, it has become a self-sufficient town.
The main palace of Bairi Mansion is laid down from the top of the mountain and built according to the mountain. It has many steep places and is not suitable for ordinary people to live in. However, monks do not have this problem. Yu Ci saw clearly that the reason for such a layout was not that the monks in Bairi Mansion were devoted to masochistic asceticism, but that the builders used buildings as much as possible to seal the most valuable spiritual veins and eyes on the cliff. in it to facilitate practice.
So, these steep buildings have become Yu Ci’s favorite place to “go”. Because here, he can always find the leading figures in the mansion, watch how they practice and watch their various activities, and he never tires of it.
But before that, he needed to ignore the ugly blob that was forming in the Illumination.
The spots appear somewhere deep in Danya. It is said to be a spot, but it is actually a blurry area within a radius of about 100 meters. In this area, the situation inside is not invisible, but is distorted by some huge force, and all light and shadow images are severely distorted. Can't tell the truth.
Seeing this scene, Yu Ci was not surprised at all, because similar emotions had been exhausted by him two days ago. He knew very well what was hidden in this distorted light and shadow.
The old guy is still practicing - that fuzzy area is also the quiet room exclusive to Tu Du, the chief elder of Bairi Mansion.
Everyone in the mansion knows that it is normal for this old monster, who is said to have lived for three hundred years, to stay in seclusion for three to five years in order to prolong his life. Some of the servants in the mansion may have never seen him once in their lives. Naturally, they listed this old monster as the number one mysterious figure in the mansion. The various legends surrounding this man have never ceased, and even spread outside the mansion. The more bizarre it becomes.
The most powerful monk in Cliff City is of course Jin Huan, the master of Bairi Palace, but the most mysterious monk must be Tu Du, the chief elder of Bairi Palace. This is the consensus of the residents of Cliff City.
But for Yu Ci, the only thing he needed to pay to see the mysterious chief elder was a little patience.
He waited for about a quarter of an hour, and the distorted light and shadow area began to move.
It begins to rise, and its scope of influence is always one mile in radius, with no intention of spreading to the surrounding areas. The speed is also very fast. In just one flash, he reaches the ground, and in another flash, he reaches the sky a hundred feet high. At this time, the whole picture of the quiet room was revealed. The interior decoration was very simple. The only thing that caught the eye was the figure lying on the couch in the room with eyes closed.
This man is Tu Du.
No one would believe it. The chief elder of Bairi Mansion was an old man who was as dry as a zombie and was dying. This man was thin and small, and he was covered with a black robe like a quilt. If it weren't for the detailed picture shown in the divine map, Yu Ci might not be able to see the ups and downs of his breathing.
After several days of snooping, Yu Ci believed that what was in the quiet room now should be just the body, and the thing that distorted the light and shadow should be the ghost of the old monster. This old monster was probably at the end of his life, and his physical body was extremely weak, so he had to stay in seclusion from time to time to prepare for unexpected events. The daily activities were simply replaced by out-of-body experiences.
It was from him that Yu Ci truly experienced the appearance of the Yin Shen leaving the body, which was a great experience. There was nothing good to see in the quiet room. Yu Ci turned his attention to the sky, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not break through the distorted light and shadow and see the details inside.
This is the limitation of Zhaoshentu.
Through several days of observation, Yu Ci discovered that when Zhao Shen Tu was inspecting a master with astonishing cultivation like Tu Du, he would be subject to very strong interference, causing the image to be blurry. There are already signs of this. A few days ago, in the Sky Rift Valley, the area illuminated by the Divine Map shrunk by more than 40% every night. Thinking that night is the active period of terrifying raptors and beasts, this is probably more thorough. Interference situation.
And this... is good!
This is by no means self-consolation. Yu Ci is not afraid of such changes. On the contrary, he will really feel uneasy if Zhaoshentu really remains unchanged. Things that do not change have no spirituality. Without spirituality, there is no possibility of further development. He now sees that the Illuminating God Picture is limited, and he also sees the infinite possibilities contained within this limitation!
Only through changes can he find the deeper secrets of the Zhaoshen Bronze Mirror. Of course, this can also make his inflated mind more stable.
Yu Ci was not going to waste time here. He let go of the speck in the sky for the time being and shifted his mind to somewhere else. The Illuminating Picture clearly shows that there is a large alchemy room twenty feet underground on the mountainside of Danya. There is a metal ball about ten feet in diameter placed in the center of the room. The sphere is covered with complex lines, which looks complex and beautiful, and is surrounded by a circle of steel brackets that fit its outer contours. The metal ball is suspended in it, slowly rotating and rolling, which is very strange.
When Yu Ci came back from the previous meeting, she already knew that this thing was called a "water alchemy furnace" to distinguish it from the ordinary alchemy furnace that used fire to make elixirs. It contained the legendary liquid for soaking shrimp beetroot.
The time is just right, the store that purchased the shrimp grass has already delivered today’s only harvest, which is Yu Ci’s more than a thousand shrimp grass plants. In the alchemy room, after checking it again, someone took the stone box and climbed up the support, found the entrance of the water elixir furnace, and put all the shrimps and grass into it.
Beside them, eight pharmacists gathered in a circle, with solemn expressions, and began to pinch the seals in their hands, activating the complex talisman array on the alchemy furnace to stimulate the effectiveness of the medicine.
After many days of reconnaissance, Yu Ci finally understood that it turned out that Bai Ri Mansion could not control the production of fish dragon grass. It could only use its unique medicinal liquid to stimulate the activity of shrimp grass, just like throwing dice to try for luck. In that way, they passively wait for one or several shrimp plants inside to "suddenly wake up", swallow up the vitality of other similar plants, and eventually form fish dragon plants.
Therefore, Bairi Mansion must have enough shrimp grass as a base to ensure that there are enough possibilities to make fish dragon grass, but in the end it still depends on luck. It is said that Fuzhong was very unlucky last year. Of the nearly 300,000 shrimp beetles collected, only eight were successfully cultivated, less than the minimum standard of "ten plants", and even the "Han Jade Heart-Cleaning Pill" was not obtained in exchange. The palace owner Jin Huan was very dissatisfied.
Change? Yes, this is Yu Ci's biggest gain from monitoring Bairi Mansion for several days. In the end, Bairi Mansion didn't know the true purpose of the fish dragon grass. They made the fish dragon grass and sent it somewhere to be exchanged with others. The gadget in exchange was the 'Han Jade Heart-Cleaning Pill' that Yu Ci had heard of before.
From this perspective, there is no difference between these high-ranking monks in Bairi Mansion and those herb collectors whose lives are like ants.
Regardless of these differences, as far as today is concerned, Bai Ri Mansion is still very lucky. Shortly after more than a thousand shrimp beetles were put into the alchemy furnace, the medicinal liquid inside suddenly began to gurgling. This is a reaction in which a certain shrimp plant is activated and quickly absorbs the vitality of its kind. The pharmacists and servants outside were startled at first, and then became very excited. At that moment, the servants with quick legs rushed out to report the good news to the immortal masters above.
For them, the emergence of any fish dragon grass is very valuable, because luck is not in their hands. Every success is a gift from God.
Yu Ci glanced at the water pill furnace for the last time. The thin metal wall was equal to nothing in the Illuminating Picture. In the water elixir furnace, the temperature of the liquid medicine still maintained its initial coolness, but it continued to boil as if it had been boiled. Among the tangled shrimp grass inside, three are slowly swelling. In the blink of an eye, they have changed from hair to as thick as wheat straw. Densely packed fine scales are spreading rapidly on them, and the grass blades are twisting in the tumbling liquid. Like a living thing.
This is it!
Yu Ci's thoughts moved slightly, and the light and shadow of the illuminating picture in front of him changed again. There was naturally a way to quickly convey the message in Bai Ri's house, but even so, it could not compare with the speed of his thoughts. Soon, he turned his attention to an independent courtyard under the peak on the east side of Danya.
This is the residence of Lu Yang, the chief steward of Bairi Mansion. His position is only behind the head of Bairi Mansion Jin Can and the great elder Tu Du. He is the well-deserved third person in the mansion and is also responsible for all the regular affairs of the mansion. It can be said that he is the chief steward of Bairi Mansion. To report this matter to the superiors, he must go through Lu Yang first.
But as soon as he turned his attention, he saw Lu Yang coming out in a hurry, giving instructions to his apprentice at the same time. Yu Ci was slightly shocked. Bai Ri Mansion was indeed the overlord of the party. Just this message delivery was very clever. But soon, he discovered that it was a misunderstanding. There was a sound from the gatekeeper in the small courtyard, and a servant hurriedly came over, knelt down on the ground, and judging from the shape of his mouth, he clearly shouted: "Master Lu is very happy, the fish dragon grass is done!"
Lu Yang is short and fat, with a square face and thick lips. He is serious and looks quite majestic. But when he heard the news, he was overjoyed and his face was not so serious. He objected to the disciple and said with a smile: "The master of the palace has just As soon as you come back, there will be this happy event, and you have more hope in that matter... Don't be too happy, and work hard. I will test your homework when you come back."
Disciple Wei Wei should do so.
Jin Huan is back? Yu Ci discerned this meaning from the shape of his mouth. He knew two days ago that Jin Huan had been away from home for several months for business. In the past few days, he had met almost all the important people in Bairi Mansion, except for the head of the mansion. He did not expect that this person would come back. It's time.
It’s not like Yu Ci, the elixir-returning monk, has never seen it before. Like Zi Lei and Chi Yin, he has served closely for many years and has long been accustomed to strange things. Now he returned to Cliff City and took a closer look at the old monster Tu Du who had been in seclusion through the divine map. It was just the withered general. The image of a dead old man made him a little disappointed. So, what will this monk who is said to be just one step away from reaching the Buxu realm look like?
Unable to suppress his curiosity, Yu Ci raised the angle of view, switching to a panoramic view of Bairi Mansion, looking for traces of Jin Huan.
What he saw was another "spot." The influence of Tudu Yin Shen is similar, but the range is nearly 50% larger. This "spot" slowly moved from the vestibule to the middle courtyard, and finally stopped in the largest meeting hall in the mansion and stopped moving. This also caused the surrounding buildings to distort, forming a whirlpool of light and shadow with no rules at all. , which made people look at it.
At this time, Yu Ci clearly saw that several government officials, headed by Lu Yang, gathered here from all directions and threw themselves into this distorted light and shadow.
Yu Ci confirmed that the center of the spot must be Jin Huan, the master of Bairi Palace! Isn't this the charter for discussion in the hall after returning home?
After understanding this section, Yu Ci stopped doing those useless things. He withdrew his mind from the vicinity of the meeting hall and prepared to go to other places. After the high-level officials of the White House had finished their discussions, he would try to find out the news. . However, at this time, he saw someone walking out of the blur of light and shadow, walking in a hurry.
