Chapter 2 The Bronze Mirror of Illumination
Click, click, click...
Suddenly, the rust on the bronze mirror continued to fall off, revealing a smooth mirror surface, and a different scene appeared in the mirror.
The mirror did not reflect Xu Xuan's face, but another world.
It seems to be in the grass, dew slowly slides down on the mirror surface, insects crawl across, the breeze blows, and the fallen leaves are colorful.
Xu Xuan It's night here and daytime over there.
Judging from the dynamic picture, this is not a portrait, but should reflect the real scene.
"Can you put your hand through it?"
The index finger lightly touched the mirror without passing through it, but a message came to his mind.
At the same time, Xu Xuan's appearance appeared in the mirror, with a line of words underneath.
Name: Xu Xuan
Lifespan: 18/71
Realm: None
Skills: None
Techniques: Mountain Knife Technique (85% for beginners), Standing Skill (25% for beginners).
"This..." Xu Xuan was so excited that the mirror finally responded. Could it be that it has been dormant for these eighteen years, absorbing enough essence of heaven and earth before it can be opened?
Regardless of his excitement, Xu Xuan immediately digested the information in the sea of consciousness and finally came to a few conclusions.
1. This mirror has two sides. We are in different worlds. The main mirror in our hand is the main mirror, and the other side is the secondary mirror.
Second, this mirror can reflect the essence of a person. That is the information on the mirror.
Third, this mirror can transmit objects, images, text and sounds.
Fourth, other living creatures cannot be transported.
Fifth, the mirror is controlled by the host and has two sides. If the other side of the mirror is destroyed, it can be regenerated, and the location of the mirror is not fixed.
Finally, Xu Xuan made a conclusion.
"It has some effect, but it depends on luck." Xu Xuan was a little helpless. He just reflected his own roots and did not add any cheats, just so that he could see the results of his hard work.
As for making an offering or something like that, you have to wait until someone on the other side of the mirror picks up the mirror.
"Let's rest first. At least there is hope."
Fighting spirit emerged in Xu Xuan's heart.
Everything is difficult at the beginning. Such a magical thing happened. Maybe you can really step into the path of cultivation.
Moreover, the mirror can reflect one's own abilities.
It is a great blessing that people can see rewards for their hard work.
"From now on, this mirror will be called the Bronze Mirror of Illuminating God."
The next day.
The rising sun rises in the east, and the morning glow disperses the mist in the forest.
The young man strode into a horse stance, holding his hands flat, with a bucket of water hanging underneath.
He was sweating profusely and his body was shaking involuntarily.
There were three other people next to Xu Guangting.
The old man Li Hu was pacing back and forth on the side with a leisurely and natural expression.
Next to Li Hu was Xu Feng, who looked somewhat similar to Xu Guangting.
"Xu Dazhuang, Xu Erzhuang, Xu Goucheng, the old man is getting old. In the future, you will take over the job of "driving corpses" and assist the Xu Li family with all your heart. You will be indispensable for your prosperity and wealth."
The teacher said while pacing.
After half a stick of incense, the standing posture ends.
Everyone was exhausted.
Although Xu Xuan was tired, he felt his strength increased and was extremely happy inside.
He sat in the shade under the tree to enjoy the coolness. Xu Feng came over at this time and said with a smile: "Brother, please take care of this group of people from now on. With your help, the Xu family will be rich in the future."
"Well, I will definitely do it." Xu Xuan smiled gently.
"Haha, with my two brothers, what glory and wealth can't we enjoy?"
Xu Feng smiled heartlessly, looking like he had no intentions.
Xu Xuan could tell that this man was deeply scheming.
Growing up, this person was good at showing off and also liked to step on himself secretly. Now that he was sure that he was not in any way a threat, he pretended to talk about brotherhood.
Of course, this so-called brotherhood is just to allow himself to do the hard work of selling private salt.
Xu Xuan doesn't pay attention to these, and he has no intention of becoming the head of the family.
The sparrow knows the ambition of the swan.
"Brother, I'm going back first."
"Second brother, walk slowly."
Xu Feng led the people down the mountain. While everyone was resting, Xu Xuan picked up the knife and chopped again.
After half a month of practice, the sword technique has reached the stage of minor success.
This is pure skill. Even if you practice it to the full level, it is only the level of a single person against two or three gangsters holding sharp weapons.
However, in the era of cold weapons, it is still necessary to practice martial arts. If there is an opportunity in the future, you may be able to learn the more advanced techniques of those martial arts sects.
If you practice to the level of a master, you should be able to defeat an army of ten or twenty cold weapons without crossbows.
In this era of cold weapons, as long as you don't fall into encirclement, you can basically be said to be a strong person.
In front of the wooden house, Li Hu was lying on a wicker chair. Seeing Xu Xuan working so hard, he couldn't help but nod in his heart.
"It's a good seedling, but it's a pity."
It's a pity that he is not taken seriously, has no money and power, and has been a martial artist all his life.
Tuk tuk…
The machete struck the tree again and again.
Practicing sword practice is very simple, the most important thing is to know how to chop.
boom!
Trees one foot and two in diameter collapsed.
"Okay, let's rest, haste makes waste."
Li Hu pointed to the chair next to him.
Xu Xuan sat down without ceremony, picked up the water bag and took a big gulp.
The two of them were silent, blowing the breeze in the forest.
Li Hu's eyes seemed to be closed slightly, as if he had fallen asleep, but his chest did not rise and fall.
Seeing this, Xu Xuan couldn't help but stretch out his fingers and sniff.
"Not dead yet."
Li Hu opened his cloudy eyes.
The scene suddenly became awkward.
Li Hu did not speak, but returned to the house and brought out a small wooden table. On the table were placed a thick stack of yellow paper, some bottles of powder, and white phosphorus soaked in wax oil.
Li Hu held a small brush, and Xu Xuan found the stone inkstone with tacit understanding, poured out the golden sore medicine powder in the bottle, mixed it with water and spread it evenly.
Li Hu spread the medicinal powder on the talisman paper little by little.
"Yamashita Pear Village is where I usually stay. There are three more rituals, so come with me then."
Despite Li Hu's slovenly appearance, as a private salt seller, his family is not very poor.
Of course, he also has his main business in Chenzhou City. He also does this in his old profession, performing rituals for people, exorcising evil spirits and treating diseases. He also has a good reputation in the city.
Otherwise, if you suddenly become rich and don't have a job to make money, even a fool can see where the money comes from.
After a long time, Xu Xuan changed the question and asked: "Are there really gods in the world?"
Li Hu sneered and said: "I have traveled all over the country for many years, but I have never seen any gods."
"Are those old monks in temples and Taoist temples and the legends in history false?"
"I am sixty-three this year. I claim to be one hundred and five years old at the foot of the mountain. Do you think it is true? Even if it doesn't look like it on the outside, most people just think it is because of my beauty."
So-called centenarians often only appear in remote areas or in chaotic times. These places have a common feature - chaotic household registration.
One can only tell one's age with one's mouth. As for why he doesn't look like he is 100 years old, when asked, it's because he has good looks.
"Haha, I see. So, whether it's the Chenzhou Talisman or the corpse exorcism, are these all fake?"
"Hmph, even if the dog doesn't read it, it's not as good as my encyclopedia of ancient magic tricks."
Li Hu snorted coldly, and proudly took out a booklet from his arms, which recorded many deceptions, such as spitting fire, putting oil in a pan, curing diseases with talismans, knocking on ghost doors, etc.
After that, while Xu Xuan was practicing his sword, he followed Li Hu to the foot of the mountain to deceive and abduct him, no, to do something.
Except for smuggling, I am not qualified to participate, everything else is almost familiar.
