Chapter 4 Mirror Deal
"'天'... '田'... '术'... what does it mean?"
Xu Xuan in front of the mirror was dumbfounded. The characters were indeed similar, but the two seemed to be illiterate?
"Brother, is it possible that there is a god in the mirror talking to us?" Li Qingquan said.
"That's right, it must be like this!"
Li Qingshi held the mirror respectfully and said sincerely: "God, I am stupid and don't know the will of the god. I ask you to go back first."
Seeing that the mirror did not respond, he bravely put it in his arms.
Afterwards, Li Qingshi looked at his brother fiercely and said: "Listen, if the news of the treasure spreads, the two of us will die without a burial place, so we must keep our mouths shut!"
"Yes, brother." Li Qingquan naturally knew that this was a great opportunity for his family to turn things around.
"Don't bring any prey when you go down the mountain." Li Qingquan thought for a moment and said.
The two brothers went down the mountain empty-handed.
"Waste! You are useless. You can't even set traps! You can't even hunt. How can you get married in the future?"
When they arrived at the village entrance, Li Qingshi suddenly started to beat and scold his brother, attracting the old ladies and old men at the entrance to watch.
"Li's eldest son, that's enough. What does a child know? Just teach him a few more times."
At this time, an old man dressed decently couldn't stand it anymore and advised.
"I can't teach him anymore." Li Qingshi was dejected.
"Take your time." The old man stepped forward to help Li Qingquan up and patted the dust off him. "You don't have to use sticks to teach people. The more you beat them, the less they will learn."
"Master, what you said makes sense. Let him learn to read from you tomorrow so that he can make a living in the future."
This old man is the only literate person in the village. It is said that he used to keep accounts for people in the city, and later returned to his hometown to retire.
Seeing the child who was kicked down by Li Qingshi just now, Master Yang still couldn't wipe his face and said, "Okay, I don't care about food and accommodation."
"How dare I eat and drink for free, just order me around."
Li Qingshi smiled and then said to his brother, "Why don't you thank Master quickly."
Li Qingquan understood his brother's intention and pretended to be wronged and said, "Thank you, Master."
Xu Xuan quietly looked at the scene nearby. Clothes could not block the mirror. The mirror looked at the surrounding world from its own perspective.
I wanted to speak, but after thinking about it, I thought it would be better to keep a little mystery. After all, my voice is not that kind of particularly deep and mysterious.
I can tell that he is a young man at first glance.
And what if the other party thinks I have an accent?
Xu Xuan couldn't help but think of some accents in his previous life that sounded very unbearable.
"Brother, calm down, second brother, smart, the two are not bad."
Xu Xuan continued to observe the world over there.
After waking up from a sleep, he looked in the mirror again.
But through the conversation between the two brothers, he found that three days had passed in the mirror world. During these three days, Li Qingquan deliberately asked the master some words, and now he has almost deciphered half of them.
"Three days? How many hours did I sleep last night?"
Xu Xuan walked out of the door and saw that everyone in Lizhuang looked normal, so he knew that the speed of time in that world might be different from that here.
"About one to ten?"
It should be so.
Xu Xuan started a new practice again. In the afternoon, he followed Li Hu to the homes of dignitaries to perform rituals to exorcise evil spirits.
"Thank you, Master, this is a little gift from us."
The housekeeper of the rich family handed over a fifty-liang silver note and arranged a carriage to take the two back.
"On the fifteenth of next month, you will drive corpses with me." Li Hu suddenly said, "Remember the route, the buyers, and the way of dealing. If you can't do it in the future, I will hand it over to you."
Smuggling is a capital crime punishable by death. It's not like selling vegetables in the vegetable market. There is no way. Even if you refine salt, there will be no sellers to buy it.
"Okay."
Xu Xuan couldn't deny it.
After eating and drinking for free for so many years, it's normal to do some work.
Now there are clues in that world. I will slowly explore in the future and find a way out.
Five days later.
Fifty days have passed in the mirror world.
In the back room of the Li family, the two men bowed down to the mirror on the table.
After more than a month of study, the two men basically mastered some common words.
"The Fairy in the Mirror is here, please accept the worship of the believers!"
A wild boar leg and wine were offered on the table.
On the other side, Xu Xuan's mind moved.
A wild boar leg appeared on the table.
The offerings of the believers could really be brought over.
"What a big wild boar leg." Xu Xuan was amazed.
Maybe the level of the mirror world is higher than this side? So the wild boar is bigger.
In the mirror world, the wild boar leg disappeared, and the two brothers were dumbfounded and shocked for a long time.
Li Qingshi was both awed and excited.
He was a man who was unwilling to be ordinary. When faced with such a magical thing, the first thing he thought of was that he might be different.
No matter whether the Fairy in the Mirror is a god or a demon, as long as he is willing to accept himself, he is willing to pay anything.
He is at the bottom of the valley, what is he afraid of losing?
On the other side, Xu Xuan took out a thin booklet, which is the first interpretation of Chenzhou Fu Fa.
This book contains eight spells, the fundamental one is the Calming Mantra. It is said that if you master this mantra, you can understand the art of drawing talismans.
They are the hemostasis talisman, the stomachache talisman, the hunting talisman, the detoxification talisman, the fire calling talisman, the fishing and hunting bait, and the most important corpse-driving talisman and the corpse-fixing talisman.
"Maybe we can establish an exchange channel where others offer and we reward." Xu Xuan suddenly had an idea.
Through trading, he could exchange for materials that would allow him to practice.
He planned to send the Chenzhou talisman method over to see if he could practice it.
If it can be practiced there, it means that the level of the world there is very high, and it also proves that the Chenzhou method can be used, but it is just a problem of this world.
Of course, it is impossible to exchange all the talismans with a boar leg.
What if the spell is fake and the other party can't practice it?
I can only blame the other party for being insincere.
"That's it. I decided to make a nest first, so that we can catch big fish."
At this time, a line of text slowly appeared in the mirror.
"Honor God and receive my reward!"
A line of text appeared on the mirror. Xu Xuan tried to speak in a simple way.
Then a secret technique appeared on the mirror.
The magic bait method for fishing and hunting.
This is not a talisman, but something similar to a magic trick. Take a bowl of morning dew, mix it with earthworms and minced meat, then cover it and put it in an altar. Pray three times a day and take it out after nine days to make a magical bait.
Used for fishing, or put into traps. There must be something big caught.
This spell is different from the talisman. It has nothing to do with personal conduct, but is related to the world. If there is mysterious power in that world, this spell will take effect.
"Quickly, write it down."
Li Qingquan quickly got a pen and paper and wrote down everything, whether he knew them or not.
At the same time, Xu Xuan also briefly explained the rules.
Weapons, techniques, elixirs, and resources can all be used to offer sacrifices. The more precious the offerings are, the more valuable the rewards will be.
The two brothers kowtowed again.
"Thanks to the Immortal in the Mirror for the reward."
It wasn't until the words in the mirror disappeared that the two slowly stood up.
At this time, the younger brother also roughly understood the spell.
"This is a fishing and hunting method. We can definitely catch the prey."
With this spell, the lives of two people can be guaranteed.
Li Qingshi said to his younger brother: "You are smarter. From now on, you can practice magic first. I will use this method to hunt and go to Qingshan Township Market to trade supplies."
In terms of intelligence, he is not as good as his younger brother; in terms of communication, his younger brother is not as good as him.
Only by working together can they have any chance of protecting themselves in the world.
One month later.
Evening, green mountains.
"Roar!!"
In the roaring mountain forest, a white tiger jumped out of the grass, sniffed slightly, and slowly walked towards a certain grass.
boom!
Suddenly, the white tiger's feet were free and fell into a trap. The clamp in the trap clamped its hind legs.
"Ouch!!"
The white tiger struggled violently in pain and was about to break out of the trap.
Whoosh whoosh!
Three arrows were shot in a row and penetrated deeply into the white tiger's forehead. The white tiger died suddenly on the spot, with blood flowing all over the floor.
Li Qingshi jumped out of the grass and said excitedly: "Sure enough, there must be prey. This tiger can be replaced by a mansion in the city. If not, sell it in batches to avoid being discovered."
If Heihefang in the city saw it, he might not even be able to drink the soup.
"It's not safe to split into batches. Muramasa and Heihefang are watching..."
If anyone in the village has an extra piece of meat, word will spread.
"I want more power!"
Li Qingshi's eyes flickered.
But in exchange for what?
Then this kind of spell can't strengthen your own ability at all.
There must be a stronger secret method.
"Items, techniques, treasures... If you use the family's divine arrow technique and the white tiger offering, you should be able to exchange for the cultivation method."
The Li family's traditional archery is a superficial martial art. By eating meat and transporting qi and blood, one can reach the peak of the human body, with a strength of five hundred kilograms, and the ability to see far away without blinking.
He is considered a master in the martial arts world, and can at least be a minor boss in Heihefang, but he is still not good enough to deal with the mysterious immortal.
Of course, due to lack of food and drink, Li Qingshi did not reach great success in cultivation.
"Use the divine bait method to lay down the martial arts flesh and blood, then add magic spells, and practice with concentration, you will have the power to protect yourself."
Of course, Li Qingshi came to the back room, presented an album with drawings of magic arrow techniques and cut and pickled white tiger meat, and recited the newly learned prayers.
"The immortals in the mirrors above and below, and the worlds in the ten directions are endless. I am able to accept and uphold my offering now, and the immortals in Fuwei will give me guidance!"
