Chapter 138 Chapter 130 Eight: Bronze Mirror

As the clouds collected and the rain came, Lu Mojing and Yin Shengxie disappeared without a trace, and there was no more movement.Even though he has seen thousands of monsters and experienced many strange things, what happened just now was really weird to Li Chan.He didn't see the two of them fighting, but the turbulence of wind, rain, thunder and lightning was not something ordinary practitioners could stir up.He looked at the moonlight for a long time, and said with emotion: "This old man, didn't he just never hit anyone, and he is no longer alive, why is he so persistent?"

Mr. Bi said: "If it's just a defeat, it's fine, but Yin Shengxie blocked his way."

Li Chan raised her eyebrows, "That Yin Shengxie is so mischievous, why don't you let him practice Taoism?"

Bi Jundao: "Yellow birds fly up and down, but they can only shake the bushes. Kunpeng spreads its wings, but it is always a big wave. The people in the world are like mayflies in the water. When the waves surge, life and death are unpredictable."

Li Chan was taken aback, "Is he so powerful?"

Mr. Bi said: "The gap between a practitioner and a mortal is like that of a mayfly and a Kunpeng."

Li Chan wanted to say that Hong Yixuan was also a cultivator at least a few days ago, and he was killed by a mortal.Immediately afterwards, he thought of Nie Er and Gu Jiuniang.Both of the couple died, to Hong Yixuan, it was just a matter of waving a sword.

He also thought of Guo Xun, Guo Xun, as the captain of Shen Zha Si, on the battlefield, it is no problem to fight against dozens of armored soldiers alone, he can be called the top type of mortals.But when he met Yu Yuanshi, he died quietly.

Even if we don't mention practitioners, let's take ordinary people as an example. When princes and nobles are happy and angry for a while, a gust of wind blows on the grass people's heads, which will hurt their muscles and bones.

After all, Li Chan did not refute, and sighed softly at Leng Yue.

Mr. Bi said, "Why are you sighing?"

Li Chan was rather melancholy, but didn't know what to say for a while. After a while, she said, "I just feel that it's a bit of a joke. Most people in the world just live a stable life. It's not easy. But how much they do is just The mayflies in the water can only follow the waves that a handful of people carelessly set aside, and drift with the current. Sometimes, when the waves roll, they don’t even know how they died.”

Mr. Bi said: "There is no need to be pessimistic. In the world, there are kunpeng who want to fly, and there are people who kill kunpeng."

Li Chan looked at the space in front of where the man under the moon disappeared, "Is it Yin Shengxie?"

When saying this, Li Chan recalled the dream on Zhongyu Cliff.When Shi Jun was about to become enlightened, he wanted to jump out of the world, but was also blocked by a friend.Thinking of this, he raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and saw the dim demon star in the sky again.

"Yes." Mr. Bi wrote in Li Chan's palm, interrupting Li Chan's reverie.

"You are about to cultivate the Tao. One day, if you achieve great supernatural powers, will you be the Kunpeng, or the one who will kill the Kunpeng?"

Li Chan was startled, and said with a wry smile: "How can I think so far, I'm lucky not to be a mayfly."

The pen paused, and wrote briskly: "It's not bad if you think so."

……

Drawing a portrait on the cliff in the west of Xuanming Temple, Mr. Bi exhausted himself a lot. After talking with Li Chan for a few words, he took a rest.When Li Chan walked through the messy vegetation in the forest and returned to Luming Academy, the student in Qingxin East Academy was still lighting the oil lamp, and the sound of reading came out of the window, and he was reading an article "East Chef Siming Weiyi".

Dong Chu Si Ming is also one of the honorary titles of the Kitchen God. This article describes the rituals that need to be followed when giving a memorial to the Kitchen God.Such scriptures are of no benefit to one's own practice, but they must be used when examining the Chongxuan Office.Even if you don’t get the true method in the end, if you are familiar with these things, you might be able to enter the Dayong Shinto way, find a decent spiritual official in a temple somewhere, and even if it’s not good enough, you can write essays for others, and you can also confuse it eat.

The violent wind and rain just now is considered rare in summer, but this person is still studying, which shows that he is quite hardworking.Li Chan walked lightly, returned to the house without any movement, and settled Mr. Bi.The monsters were very curious about the uninvited guest, so Li Chan briefly told what happened on the cliff, and then took out a bronze mirror from the bamboo box.

When Lu Zijing came over, Li Chan had already noticed these bronze mirrors, but at that time she had no time to ask.At this time, although Lu Zijing had left, Li Chan saw the 24 characters on the back of the mirror, and had a vague guess.

At the beginning, Li Chan copied the method of the 24 gods from Daqinglian, which did not describe the 24 seasons.

Xiao Lingsu said that the people of Qingque Palace condensed 24 body spirits, and they had to correspond to the time of day, and it took a year to condense the two spirits every month.If other people listened to it, they would definitely not think too much about it, they would only think that the practice of the Taoist holy land is of course unquestionably orthodox.

Li Chan originally thought so too, but after meeting Shi Jun in a dream on Zhongyuya, now she thinks that the method of cultivating the 24 gods in Qingque Palace is just the way a smart person understood the 24 gods many years ago .Qingque Palace is a sacred place of Taoism. Such a practice is naturally good, but to find another way, although it is risky, it will not be impossible.

In that dream, Li Chan also saw 24 o'clock from Qinglian.At this time, seeing the 24 characters on the back of the mirror, one can vaguely see that this is the pictogram of 24 qi.These 24 bronze mirrors correspond to 24 qi, and then correspond to 24 gods.

Li Chan thought again that these bronze mirrors had already been cast when he went to give away the broken hairpin.It seems that at that time, Mr. Lu had seen through the method he cultivated, and he also made a plan to exchange these 24 mirrors for a painting.

Although Li Chan guessed that the 24 mirrors corresponded to the 24 gods, and looked at a bronze mirror dozens of times, he couldn't figure out what the use of these bronze mirrors was.These bronze mirrors are obviously unpolished, with rough and cloudy surfaces.Although there is some brightness in the candlelight, but when it sees the human face, there is only a blurry shadow.

On the side, Hong Yao looked at the bronze mirror in Li Chan's hand, and said, "The workmanship is really beautiful, but it's a pity that no one can be seen."

"I'm afraid I have to grind it myself." Li Chan murmured, "I have to learn another craft."

Qing Yecha said: "Why bother, Ah Lang? There are mirror grinders passing by every few days in the shop, and they can be grinded for six or seven coins..."

The mirror grinder in Qing Yecha's mouth is not like Lu Zijing who guards a shop, most of them carry lead, mercury and black tin, walk through the streets and alleys, and do business with women.Ordinary bronze mirrors have been used for the first half of the year, and the surface of the mirror will become somewhat blurred. The common people rely on these mirror grinders to polish their mirrors.

Chi Yasha slammed Qing Yasha hard, and reprimanded: "What nonsense are you talking about? The expert sent it, isn't it an ordinary thing? Besides, how can six or seven coins be cheap?"

Suddenly, a cold voice said: "These mirrors have all their bumps smoothed out. There is no need to grind them with bricks. Medicine and felt will do."

Li Chan turned to look at Tu Shanxi who was leaning against the wall, "You know this?"

Tu Shanxi said: "Six qian for alum, [-] qian for mercury, [-] qian for Xuanxi, [-] qian for antler ash to make medicine, which can be used to sharpen knives and mirrors. If you want to make it brighter, use parietal bone and silver mother sand to make medicine and polish it. Can."
