Chapter Fifty-Eight: Encounter with Fragments Again
After Lu Yunzhi and the others rested in the inn for a day, early the next morning, everyone rode on horses and walked around the city outside the suburbs, but after sparing the small Wei County four or five times, there was still nothing new happening. Lu Yunzhi was also a little upset, it would be too embarrassing to be playing so far by himself.
At this time, a group of children ran over, circling around the tall horses ridden by Lu Yunzhi and others, laughing and playing, Wei County is not a poor countryside nor a land of fish and rice, ordinary people have no horses, and it is even more difficult to see such a horse team on weekdays. Chao Xing was scattering fire on the ground, and yelled at the child: "Get out, or I'll chop you all up and feed them to the dogs." The children raised their eyes one after another, only to see the murderous face of Chao Xing's face full of scars, and the angry and slightly angry appearance, the children couldn't help but cry in fright.
But at this moment, a little boy cried sadly and fell to the ground without standing firmly, Lu Yunzhi looked at the little boy and whispered to Chao Xing: "Uncle, they are all children, why bother with them, there are fewer horses in the countryside, but ...... Uncle, look what that is. The boy who had fallen to the ground fell out of his coat pocket with a piece of brass-colored metal, which glistened in the sunlight. Lu Yunzhi turned over and dismounted and galloped quickly to Xiao Tong's side, picked up the yellow metal and hugged Xiao Tong, and then asked, "Child, don't cry, where did you get this thing from." The little boy gradually stopped crying under Lu Yunzhi's comfort, looked at the things in Lu Yunzhi's hand and said, "I picked it up from there." As he spoke, he pointed to the grass beside the road, Lu Yunzhi took out a few copper plates from his arms and gave them to the little boy, and put him on the ground, and the little boy ran away happily, and the children around him also followed him and continued to laugh and play.
Lu Yunzhi handed the metal to Chao Xing, who took it and looked at it carefully, and then said: "This is a fragment of a bronze mirror, but how can such a small mirror have a strong mirror flower in it, and it also vaguely forms the image of a mirror flower, which is really strange." Lu Yunzhi also nodded, and muttered: "I think this is what the shadow ghost said, we were once ambushed by the ghost witch mirror flower image here, but it was next to the inn where we stayed, wait for me to count it." As he spoke, he sat down on the ground, picked up a broken branch, and kept scratching it on the ground.
After a long time, Lu Yunzhi stood up and laughed and said: "Uncle, it turns out that this is the case, at that time, Qin Rufeng smashed the big mirror that made the image of the mirror flower, and it happened that we came out and saved a scholar, and the scholar was afraid of the local bullies' revenge and went to his relatives, so he was brought here with this fragment on the sole of his shoe." When the scholar found it, he picked up the fragments and put them in the grass, but the boy saw them and picked them up when he was playing. Uncle has seen all these changes in his eyes for a long time, what does he want to remind us? Is there some secret hidden in this? ”
Chao Xing shook his head and looked at the fragment again, and then said, "Now that this mirror flower image has been broken, even if we find its method, we will not be able to enter it, and the contents inside have not been released. "That's what I thought, there should be no secrets in it when we leave, but although it is a fragment, once there is still a trace of the mirror flower ghost that is not extinguished, it may bring people into it, maybe we left in too much of a hurry to deal with these fragments." Lu Yunzhi replied.
Lu Yunzhi's ears suddenly remembered the voice of the nightmare: "Maybe I can try, I am a ghost, I can enter the mirror flower image, and then let the things in it come out through the dream, maybe it can succeed, but if it is a living thing, it will be miserable." Lu Yunzhi whispered: "Why?" "Originally, the image of the mirror flower belongs to another realm, and a living thing disappears from the world into the dream realm is equivalent to bringing it into a class, the mirror flower image and the dream and the human world are all different and parallel spaces, so this kind of rapid shuttle between several realms, the brain of the living creature will be confused and go crazy." Nightmare replied.
Chao Xing had already known that the nightmare was in Lu Yunzhi's body, and it was not strange to see Lu Yunzhi talking to himself at this moment, and asked with concern: "Is there a way to do the nightmare?" Lu Yunzhi nodded and briefly told what the nightmare said, and after hearing this, Chao Xing nodded and said, "Then you can only use this method to try." ”
A hand appeared on Lu Yunzhi's chest, and that hand took over the bronze mirror, and suddenly the bronze mirror emitted a strange brilliance, and after a while, that hand threw the bronze mirror far away. As soon as the fragment of the bronze mirror hit the ground, a man and a rider appeared out of thin air, and the horse neighed and roared on the ground like crazy, and kicked back and kicked continuously. Lu Yunzhi nodded, and an iron sword disciple stepped forward with a sword and slashed across, and the horse was killed on the spot.
The man rolled on the ground, then played with the weeds next to him, his eyes were confused, and he seemed to have lost his mind. At this time, Nightmare said to Lu Yunzhi: "This guy may have been locked up in the mirror image for a long time, and he was already crazy when I brought him out." Lu Yunzhi took a closer look, the man's outfit was very ordinary, but his body was very strong, and he looked like a strong martial arts practitioner, Lu Yunzhi squatted next to the man and asked, but saw that the man only knew hehe, he smirked, and while laughing, he took out a letter from his arms and was about to tear it up and play, and Lu Yunzhi snatched it up. The man cried like a naughty boy, and came up to fight with Lu Yunzhi, but was held down by the two iron sword disciples. Lu Yunzhi said to the two iron sword disciples: "It's not easy for this person to go crazy if you trouble the two of you to send him to the inn, and then find someone to take care of him and give him more money." After speaking, I will open this letter and read it, there must be a big secret in this letter, Lu Yunzhi and others are not in a hurry to take a look.
Chao Xing shouted: "Stop! After speaking, he walked quickly to Lu Yunzhi's side, took the letter, and then pointed to the mud seal that sealed his heart and said: "I know this sign, this is the special seal used by Yu Qian, which represents the secret information of every word. You can't look here anymore, it is coated with a special dye that burns after a few moments of exposure to the air, and can only be seen by soaking in wine. There is also a ghost attached to the letter, even if it is soaked in wine for a while, it will turn into powder, just to prevent people from leaving a handle, so let's be careful, go back to the inn first and then slowly open the letter. ”
Lu Yunzhi nodded yes, and then the group quickly went to the inn.
