Volume 2 Plane Battle, Chapter 260: The Ancient Mirror Can Illuminate Demons or Hide Demons
Xie Bi'an said: If you want to ascend to heaven from a snake to a dragon, or other spirits, you have to go through a lot of hardships before you can finally achieve something! But most of the time it ends in failure. This is why many mountain spirits and wild monsters have to envy people's comfortable days!
The difficulties and dangers involved are beyond the imagination of ordinary people! And there are also some ill-intentioned human warlocks and evil cultivators, who are eyeing these spirits who want to become great in the shadows.
Yang Zhuochao sighed: "That's true! But how can the dragon in the story of Lord Impermanence have wings under his ribs? I remember that Ge Lao once told me that since ancient times, there seems to be only one winged dragon, Yujiang, known as the "Dragon God"!
Xie Bi'an replied: The "dragon god" Yujiang mentioned by Shangxian is actually the "Ying Long" who helped Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor defeat the soldier master Chi You in the battle of the deer. At that time, there was indeed only one dragon clan with wings on its body in Huanyu Huaxia!
But the immortals may not know that there are other dragons in the universe! This is what I learned from the mouth of the Emperor Xudu back then.
Yang Zhuochao immediately relieved that when he was on Earth, hadn't he also seen a kind of fire-breathing dragon with wings often appear in Western movies?
So Yang Zhuochao asked: Lord Impermanence, are these spirits pure in nature and rarely take the initiative to harm others?
Xie Bi'an replied: The immortal asked a good question, in fact, it is like some spirits with high spirituality, and they will not harm people for no reason! Only those low-level spirits will harm people's thoughts.
Yang Zhuochao asked again: Then how can people in this earthly world generally identify these demons and monsters?
Xie Bi'an said: Ordinary people naturally can't tell who is a monster and who is an ordinary human. Only monks who have the Tao or have attained the Tao can see a clue from some clues and rich experience!
Of course, if there are treasures and magic weapons like the "Demon Mirror", you can directly see its true body without much effort, and even when the demons and monsters can't detect it!
Yang Zhuochao suddenly thought at this time that he also had such a treasure mirror on his body. It was the "Kunlun Heavenly Machine Mirror" of the Queen Mother of the West! It was one of the ten major artifacts recognized in ancient times. If it's used to shine on demons and monsters, I'm afraid it's a bit overkill.....
I only heard Xie Bi'an continue: This so-called "demon mirror" actually has a distinction between upper and lower grades. The high-grade ones are condensed and cast by the aura of heaven and earth, and the lower-grade ones are just high-level cultivators, or some high-ranking monks and Taoists.
However, once this kind of magic weapon with the aura of a cultivator is abandoned, it can easily be used by some demons and monsters! Either attach itself to harm others, or cultivate inside. In short, it is appropriate for ordinary people not to touch and play with it easily.....
Let me tell you a small allusion to Shangxian, and you will understand why I said this! Say: In ancient times, there was a scholar surnamed Shen who married the daughter of a giant merchant in Yangzhou.
This woman's surname is Peng, her name is Cuilian, she is beautiful, and like all women, she especially likes to dress up, and spends most of her time every day on dressing up, feeling that she is the most beautiful woman in the world.
The husband and wife are talented and beautiful, and their relationship is very good after marriage, they have never quarreled, let alone blushed, and everyone envies them very much.
The Peng family has been in business for generations and has accumulated a lot of wealth, and their daughter will naturally not be stingy when she marries, and she will marry a lot of priceless antique treasures.
Among these treasures, it is the most valuable ancient mirror of the Warring States period, it is said that many celebrities in history have owned it, but by chance, this bronze mirror finally fell into the hands of the Peng family.
Shen Sheng was very curious, and asked his wife for this bronze mirror several times, wanting to study it. However, the wife did not agree, the reason was that her father explained that this treasure was only for collection, and should not be easily played, otherwise it would cause trouble, and she had only seen it a few times.
Shen Sheng was very unhappy in his heart, he just thought that his wife was stingy, and he didn't want to show him, so he found an excuse to prevaricate him. When I mentioned this after drinking, I couldn't help but complain.
It's strange to say, within a few days, the family was robbed, and there were not many things stolen, but this ancient mirror disappeared!
The Shen family was very strange, secretly strange, and guessed that this thief was a person who knew the inside story.
Half a year later, Shen Sheng was wandering on the street, and accidentally saw an old man setting up a stall on the ground, selling some old gadgets, among which there was a bronze mirror with a very simple style, which did not look like a product of this dynasty, which aroused interest.
Shen Sheng asked the price, but it was only three taels of silver, thinking that even if it was a fake, it was just a lesson, so he paid for it and bought it back.
When she returned home, her wife Cuilian was grooming in the mirror, and Peng Sheng jokingly said to her: "Your family treats a broken bronze mirror as a treasure, otherwise let me see it." Now that I've spent three taels of silver, I've bought back an ancient mirror, maybe it's worth more than yours!"
Unexpectedly, Cuilian saw the mirror and was shocked and said, "This is the lost ancient mirror, where did you get it?" Shen Sheng was also very shocked, so he told the truth.
Because it was really strange, Cuilian couldn't help but pick up the ancient mirror and wipe it a few times, taking a closer look.
The bronze mirror reflected the figure, but the strange thing was that the person in the mirror was not Cuilian, the posture of the clothes was completely different, Cuilian exclaimed: "Who are you?" Unexpectedly, the ancient mirror also said: "Who are you?"
The couple was suddenly shocked, only to hear the coquettish voice of the person in the mirror tease: "I am Shen Jun's concubine, don't be jealous, don't let me go!"
When Cuilian heard this, she was both surprised and angry, and slammed the ancient mirror over and threw it on the table, shouting, "I'm scared to death!"
Shen Sheng had the courage to pick up the ancient mirror, only to see a beautiful woman with long eyebrows and a round face standing in the mirror, looking much more beautiful than his wife Cuilian, and suddenly felt curious and asked about the woman's origin.
Gu Jing replied: "I am the daughter of Zheng Mugong, the wife of Uncle Xia Yu, and everyone is called Xia Ji. After I died, I met an immortal master who took pity on what had happened to me and forged a mirror out of my blood to attach my soul to it. It's been almost a millennium. ”
Shen Sheng couldn't help but be surprised, Xia Ji was recognized as one of the four beauties in the Spring and Autumn Period, but her bewitching nature became a queen three times and married someone else as a wife seven times. A total of nine men died because of her, known as "killing three husbands, one gentleman and one son, and killing one country and two secretaries". It can be described as the world's first "red face and troubled water".
Although Xia Ji is notorious, her appearance is really stunning and charming, Shen Sheng is fascinated by it, and he really can't bear to destroy this ancient mirror, so he cautiously asked, "You won't harm me, right?"
Gu Jing said: "How dare I harm you! You just play with it in your hand, what are you afraid of?"
Shen Sheng thought about it and felt that it made sense, so he was no longer afraid! Asked Xia Ji what skills she was good at, Gu Jing replied: Singing. Shen Sheng erected the ancient mirror beside the bed, and the couple sat together to admire.
Xia Ji's singing voice is charming and delicate, the aftermath is lingering, the music is also elegant and beautiful, and there is a bit of charm in the simplicity, which makes people feel a little restless in their hearts.
After singing for a while, the beauty in the mirror danced slowly, her arms bent like swinging willows, and her waist twisted lightly, which was even more charming and sultry.
The husband and wife gradually couldn't help it, put down the curtain, and said nothing about the rest of the matter. And since then, I can't stop doing it every day!
A few days later, Shen Sheng got a strange illness, his body was getting dry day by day, and he couldn't afford to get sick while lying in bed.
When Cuilian's father found out about this, he immediately asked for the mirror and reprimanded Cuilian: "I didn't show it to you before, because there were weirdness in the mirror, and I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to control yourself."
However, this is something that has been passed down from the ancestors, and I can't bear to break it. Who knows that you still can't resist the temptation, how can you not have an accident if you play with it day and night!"
As he spoke, Peng Shang took back the mirror, locked it in an iron cabinet, and asked a doctor to treat his son-in-law, who gradually recovered after half a year. A few years later, Peng Shang died of illness, and this ancient mirror was buried in the grave with him, never to be seen again!
That's why I said, don't easily collect and touch these ancient mirrors handed down from ancient times, otherwise there may be trouble! Especially some such artifacts dug up from ancient tombs, it is better to be more careful!
Yang Zhuochao said: I understand, what Lord Impermanence means is that in fact, these items with the energy of cultivators are extremely easy to be used by those demons and monsters, thus bringing some unwarranted disasters to ordinary people who come into contact with them.
