Mi Xin gradually fell into a dilemma (2)
Peach Branch lowered her eyes and sighed, her tone mixed with regret: "It was the Moonfall Mirror that created our faction, and it is a holy relic in our hearts." However, it is such a holy relic, but it has been lost for hundreds of years, and it is only today that I am fortunate enough to see it. ”
Ling Xiao was silent, just listened to Tao Zhi continue to talk about things: "Actually, our Tao family is not the legitimate successor of the palace master, a hundred years ago, my ancestor was just a close confidant of the palace master, and he had a certain status and prestige in Yiyue Palace. However, due to a storm that swept the rivers and lakes, the pattern of Yiyue Palace also changed.
At that time, it was rumored that there was a sacred thing in the depths of the Western Regions, and a storm in the Western Regions blew all over the rivers and lakes. One by one, they all want to get that opportunity, hoping that from now on, the status of the rivers and lakes can stand. Of course, the palace master of Yiyue Palace back then was no exception, and he also had that kind of ambition.
Soon, he left with a group of disciples, and at the same time took the holy relic Moonfall Mirror with him, and joined the team of those who went to the Western Regions, all the way to the depths of the Western Regions. He handed over all the big and small things in Yiyue Palace to my ancestors, but he has not heard from him for two years. At that time, the people of the other sects who traveled west had already returned, and that time the westward journey was obviously in vain, and everyone gained nothing.
When the disciples saw that the palace master had not returned for a long time, some of them had a rebellious heart, and an unprecedented civil strife broke out in Yiyue Palace, and several forces confronted each other, which lasted for several months. It was at that time that my ancestors had to ascend to the throne of the palace in order to quell the civil strife. But in my heart, I have been longing for the former palace master to return safely.
In the end, some of the disciples who had gone west returned safely, but there was no trace of the former palace master. After asking, I learned that they encountered an accident on the way back, and they were trapped in the Xiongnu and could not get out of trouble. Later, he returned to the Central Plains with great difficulty, but got the news that Yiyue Palace had changed hands. The first palace master was worried that my ancestors would be unfavorable to him because of this palace master's position, and they would kill him forever, so he took the moonfall mirror and lived in seclusion, and really gave up Yiyue Palace.
My ancestors were so heartbroken when they got such a result from the mouth of the sect that they decided to personally welcome the master of the first palace back and explain the matter clearly. However, it took several years to search all over the East Continent but there has been no news.
It was a dramatic misunderstanding, but it gradually became a problem for my ancestors, until he finally ended up with regret and remorse, and he was still obsessed with the desire to find the Lord of the First Palace and the Moonfall Mirror. He wanted to tell the palace master in person that he did not rebel, he still respected and loved the palace master and was loyal, but God did not give him such an opportunity. Of course, this became his last wish, and it was the palace rule that the palace masters of Yiyue Palace had to follow in the later generations. A hundred years have passed, and my ancestor's last wish will finally be fulfilled, and presumably, he will have knowledge and can rest in peace.
I think that Brother Ling didn't tell you the origin of the Moonfall Mirror because of this misunderstanding, and I was worried that after we learned about it, it would be against you in order to recapture the Moonfall Mirror. With your calm character, I guess if it weren't for the urgency of the situation today, I guess you wouldn't have taken it out at will. ”
Momoeda's words finally fell completely, and the dim and hazy environment fell into a long silence. Ling Xiao quietly listened to Taozhi finish talking about this, was silent for a moment, turned his head sideways to look at Taozhi's hazy shadow, and said in a light tone: "The Moonfall Mirror has been missing for a hundred years, and no one has seen it since, how can the Peach Palace Lord be sure that this mirror on my body must be the Moonfall Mirror?" This is a euphemism for denial and reminder.
"It's understandable that you can't fully believe it for a while. However, there is a picture as proof, that picture is too important, except for the palace masters of the past dynasties, no one has seen it, so it has never been carried with it at will. This is the infallibility of the Moonfall Mirror, except for that picture, the Black Spirit Python is the best evidence. Momoeda's tone was confident and affirmative, she was sure she wouldn't admit her mistake, and the picture was quite familiar to her.
Ling Xiao gently swept his flat gaze away from Tao Zhi's face, and then looked at the ethereal distant mountains shrouded in moonlight, and deliberately asked casually: "Then the Peach Palace Lord wants me to return the treasure mirror to Yi Yue Palace?" ”
This is an important thing that Yan Lingchu handed over to Ling Xiao, she will not give it away no matter what, even if the other party is kind to her, but there are many ways to repay the favor, and it is by no means limited to this method. She regretted it a little at the moment, even if she met a palm and suffered some injuries at that time, it was better than taking out the Kun bone mirror, which caused this situation, and she didn't know how to explain it if she had a misunderstanding. Maybe even if she told Taozhi that this was actually a Kun bone mirror, Tao Zhi might not believe it, after all, the Kun bone mirror is just a legend recorded in ancient books, and it belongs to ancient things, and it is a long time ago. Besides, how many people would believe that there really is such a creature as Kunpeng in this world?
"I've said so much, doesn't Xiao Xiao understand? This moonfall mirror is your ancestral heirloom, then you are the bloodline of the first palace master, and I am the palace master of Yiyue Palace. Taozhi turned sideways, standing side by side with Ling Xiao, and Ling Xiao looked into the distance, the sloping sinkhole under the mountainside was half-hidden between the moonlight and the shadows, a little mysterious.
Ling Xiao folded her hands on her abdomen at will, tilted her head and slowly closed her eyes, letting the night breeze blow on her face, her face towel fluttering, and Yuehua imprinted Changjie's shadow at the bottom of her eyes. Then he said flatly: "As everyone knows, drawings can also be wrong, it can only reflect a general appearance." If you haven't seen the real thing, you don't know the details, how can you be so easy to identify? Isn't that too hasty? ”
Ling Xiao believes that there may be similarities between the two mirrors, but there must be gaps in many aspects, and the biggest gap is the material, which cannot be reflected in the drawings, and even the size is not clear. After all, drawings are not photographs and show limited information. Besides, there were too many similar things in this world, and it was not strange for Ling Xiao, a person who had been involved in the antique business before.
Of course, the lack of drawings is not enough to convince Xiao Xiao. But today's reaction to Hei Lingmang's recklessness, Xiao Xiao is afraid that he has to believe it, right? There was also the leopard that day, I was puzzled at the time, but I never thought about it on the moonfall mirror, but the appearance of the black spirit today made me feel a sense of sudden enlightenment. Momoeda trusts her own judgment very much, and she doesn't think she's a hasty person.
Seeing that Ling Xiao didn't speak, Taozhi paused, and then said: "We haven't known each other for a short time, and we all know each other a little, how can I not be cautious about such an important matter." After countless twists and turns, now that I have finally found the bloodline of the first palace master, I am willing to hand over the position of this palace master. ”
