Chapter 5 Paper Tie Shop
[The book continues from the above, and the last book said that after Zhao Liang accepted the conditions proposed by Mu Qingming, he rushed to the Yang Mansion to rescue the two maids. And Mo Han was a little worried that Mu Qingming's too much involvement in the matter of the turbidity tire would cause him to attract the dissatisfaction of other dragon lockers. But Mu Qingming didn't think so, and after arranging everything, he summoned his disciples, divided the labor and cooperated, and asked them to start looking for the whereabouts of the mirror demon. led out Mu Qing's plan to break the plan, and Mo Han's heart was puzzled. Zhang Xiaosheng, who sent back the bronze mirror of the coffin lid, returned to the city with a wonderful pen, rushed to Taihepu, and found a dealer who secretly resold antiques. When asked about the ancient mirror, the merchant immediately said that he had indeed seen the ancient mirror. 】
The breeze blows through the gloomy Shala Alley, and every wisp of wind instantly becomes cold.
The bright sunshine spreads out in the small courtyard of the Mu family. The smooth bluestone slabs glisten in the sunlight and glow with reflections.
Mu Qingming deliberately mentioned not going to Xishan and the west bank of Dianchi Lake, which made Mo Han feel that there must be something strange in it. Curious, she couldn't fully understand it herself, frowned and thought for a moment before asking, "What are you trying to do here?" ”。
"What's the fuss? Haunting the Heavenly Palace. Mu Qingming smiled, but soon frowned, and said, "Although the mirror demon is not powerful, it is very ancient. The mirror demon at the beginning was not a mirror demon, but a mirror god. ”。
Mo Han patiently listened to Mu Qingming's words; She knew that although what Mu Qingming said now seemed to have nothing to do with the decision, it must be related to his decision in the end.
"You read so many books when you were confined, you should know about the poison treasure mirror, right?" Mu Qingming, who paused, turned his head to look at his wife, and then asked.
"Of course." Mo Han nodded, recalling the contents of the book he had read recently, and said slowly: "Xijing Miscellaneous Records" records: When Emperor Xuan was taken into the county prison when he was a child, he also wore a colorful pattern of Wanzhuan silk rope woven by his grandmother Shi Liangdi on his arm, and tied to it a treasure mirror from his own poisonous country, the treasure mirror is the size of eight coins. Legend has it that this mirror can illuminate demons and monsters, and those who can wear it will be blessed by the gods, so Emperor Xuan was rescued from danger. After Emperor Xuan ascended the throne, every time he picked up this treasure mirror and thought of his miserable childhood, he would sigh and whimper for a long time. He once used a bamboo basket decorated with amber to decorate the treasure mirror, and wrapped it in a woven brocade (also known as oblique brocade) produced in Qili, which was regarded as a treasure. But after Emperor Xuan's death, Baojing disappeared. ”。
"Well, this is the Body Poison Treasure Mirror. And what lives in the mirror is the mirror god. Mu Qingming bowed his head slightly, and raised his eyes to look at the blue and clear sky above the patio.
White clouds floated slowly over the patio.
The cold spring in the courtyard was tired of playing, so he took the cunning snow leopard to the bottom of the tree. Hanquan climbed into the rocking chair in twos and threes, curled up slightly on the chair, yawned and snooze. And the cunning snow leopard also lay on the ground next to the chair, rolled up, and snoozed.
"What you are talking about is what is recorded in writing, and what I know will not be recorded in words, and it is even more bizarre." Immediately after, Mu Qingming turned around and returned to the hall, took his teapot and stood beside his wife.
"As far as I know, this mirror quickly fell into the hands of the alchemists." After taking a sip of Mu Qingming, who was in the teapot in the pot, smashed his mouth, he played with the teapot and said slowly: "Liu Xun (Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty) sighed and whimpered every time he saw the mirror, which made the mirror god absorb a lot of his resentment, so that later, a few years before he was about to die, the poison treasure mirror could no longer protect him too much." ”。
"Purification?" Hearing this, Mo Han suddenly blurted out with an exclamation.
"Yes, purification." Mu Qingming tilted his head a little heavier and said, "He took away a lot of Liu Xun's bad luck and resentment, which was originally his duty, but it also weakened his divine power, and it took a long time to cultivate." Just like the door god blessing word on the door, it blocks bad luck and eliminates disasters, purifying all bad things, but it must be changed once a year, so that today it has become a custom, and the blessing word and door god must be changed every year. But this was exploited by the alchemists with ulterior motives, who turned the mirror god into an evil mirror demon through their resentment. Since then, there have been mirror demons in this world. And the alchemists have also mastered the art of creating mirror demons. ”。
The breeze blew in his face, Mo Han pondered for a while, and after a flash of inspiration in his mind, Yingfeng exclaimed again: "Immortal Dao!" ”。
"That's right." Her husband nodded again and said, "The predecessor of the Immortal Dao was the Wizard Magician, and I extremely suspect that the Mirror Demon that suddenly appeared in this city should have something to do with them. ”。
As he spoke, his wife Mo Han lowered her head slightly and groaned. At the same time, my mind was spinning and thinking about something. And Mu Qingming also vaguely felt that if the Mirror Demon was related to the Immortal Dao, it must have been released to attract his attention.
It must also have something to do with the natives.
Soon, when Mu Qingming's voice had just landed, Mo Han had already figured it out, turned his head to look at her husband's side face, and said categorically everything he thought of: "If it really is, the Immortal Dao will want to cover up." The mirror demon that needed time to digest and eat Miss Yang would never flee to the upper mountain, or near the west bank of Dianchi Lake. That's what it means, right? ”。
"Clever. This desire to cover up has always been Liu Yang's forte, starting from killing his companion, who was once a hall master, and then killing that child-like disciple in front of us. Mu Qingming smiled, but his eyes flashed with cold killing intent: "Liu Yang is thinking, so that the less we suspect him, the more he will conclude that the Xishan stronghold has not been exposed." And what we have to do is make him really think that we are what he thinks we are. ”。
"But you don't know that we are waiting for an opportunity to kill them all?" Mo Han took over and said.
Just smiled at her husband and ......
"Uncle Shi, did you grow up with my master?"
Zhang Xiaosheng, who went to return the bronze mirror of the coffin lid, flashed with a charm to the south city wall, in a small alley that was temporarily uninhabited.
Zhang Xiaosheng, who had just returned to the city, asked curiously: "Was my master as powerful as he is now when he was a child?" ”。
"He's quite unique, not only in terms of his identity, but also in his cultivation." Answering this casually, he stepped forward: "Since childhood, he has shown an amazing talent. Others have only achieved a little success after three years of practice, but he has already completed all the basic homework in one and a half years. ”。
But when he said this, he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, recalling the past, when Mu Qing was obsessed, he always felt that the shadows he walked through were also so cold and cold.
It was horrible, it was horrible.
Then, the wonderful pen secretly breathed a long sigh of relief. Fortunately, in the current Mu Qing's body, there is no unstable demonic energy, and he will never enter the demon again, which is also worth thanking.
"Why are you so curious about your master?" After a pause, Miaobi turned his head to take a look, and followed Zhang Xiaosheng, who was walking side by side with him.
"It's just curiosity, and I admire him." Zhang Xiaosheng scratched his head and said with a smile: "He is quite capable, and the senior brothers and sisters also admire him." ”。
"Then you really don't know your master." walked out of the alley, stood in the sun, looked left and right with a faint smile, and after seeing that there were no outsiders around, he whispered to Zhang Xiaosheng meaningfully: "He would rather not have these skills." ”。
"What do you mean by that?" Zhang Xiaosheng, who hadn't figured out the meaning of these words for a long time, scratched his head and asked again.
But the pen was already smiling and silent.
Zhang Xiaosheng asked again, but he still couldn't get an answer, so he had to give up. With a wonderful pen, he walked to the Taihe shop.
After a while, the two came to Taihepu, and Zhang Xiaosheng walked to the shop, a paper shop along the street. After entering the door, Zhang Xiaosheng went straight to the shopkeeper.
Looking around at the store full of paper people, paper horses, and wreaths, and other things, I was suspicious; They originally came back to inquire about the situation of the mirror demon, why did Zhang Xiaosheng bring him to such a place?
"Xiao Er, I want to see your boss Cha." Zhang Xiaosheng said, and took out a five-baht coin from his waist. It was a five-baht coin from the Han Dynasty, and the money had the word "five baht" on it.
This seems to be something for identity verification, Xiao Er took a closer look at the copper coin, and a trace of surprise immediately flashed on his face.
Then, he hurriedly said to Zhang Xiaosheng: "Guest officer, wait a minute. ”。
Before he finished speaking, the shopkeeper had already turned around and walked towards the curtain in the depths of the store. Soon, he lifted the curtain and went to the backyard.
After a while, Xiao Er didn't come out, but a short and fat old man came out, with a white beard and white hair, and he was wearing a dead man's life clothes, which opened the eyes of Miaobi. What he was holding in his hand was the five baht money that Zhang Xiaosheng handed over before.
"Xiaosheng, it turned out to be you." The old man should be Boss Cha, so he immediately greeted him, and after handing back the five baht money to Zhang Xiaosheng, he asked with a smile: "Is there anything good to sell to foreigners this time?" Do you know that the French love porcelain the most, there is porcelain? ”。
Seeing this, the magic pen can be regarded as understood. The old man in front of him, who smiled kindly, turned out to be a dealer who resold antiques. Paper shop, I'm afraid it's a cover.
"As for me, I just wanted to ask you something." Zhang Xiaosheng took out a few pieces of ocean, stuffed them to Boss Cha in front of him, and asked, "Have you resold an ancient mirror recently, it's a bit old." ”。
After that, Zhang Xiaosheng unhurriedly described the shape of the ancient mirror one by one to the boss in front of him.
After hearing this, Boss Cha's eyes widened slightly, and after the shock flashed in his eyes and face, he said in surprise: "How do you know?" ”。
"Big brother, a little bit of the past professional ethics, okay?" Zhang Xiaosheng smiled faintly and said, "I gave the money, you use the money to answer my questions, and don't ask anything else." ”。
"That's that, that's." Boss Cha smiled a little embarrassedly, weighed a few pieces of ocean in his hand, listened to the crisp sound of the collision of yuan and silver, and nodded: "About half a month ago, I did shoot such a bronze mirror. Speaking of which, I've made a lot of money because of it. ”。
After that, a greedy look appeared in Boss Cha's eyes.
"Who did you sell to?" Zhang Xiaosheng's eyes lit up and asked urgently.
Who did Boss Cha sell the ancient mirror to? Find out what happens next, and listen to the next breakdown.
