Huang Mingli saw that his master and nephew came overnight, and knew that there was something important, so he directly introduced it into the guest hall, and the uncle and nephew finished the ceremony, and when Huang Daoye wanted to ask, he saw the bolt suddenly kneeling on the ground, holding the front of his robe and crying. This crying was not tight, but Huang Daoye was stunned by crying, and hurriedly picked up the bolt pillar to ask the reason, only to listen to the bolt pillar crying intermittently about how the owner of Dong received the "yin mirror", how Li'er died tragically in the boudoir, how he was careless about the enemy, and how Sun Banxian'er died in detail from beginning to end in detail.

When Huang Daoye heard the tragic death of his junior brother, he couldn't help but feel sad, took a step back and sat on the Taishi chair in the center of the guest hall, looked straight out of the door with his eyes, grabbed the teacup with his left hand, crushed it, and then slowly closed his eyes, two old tears fell down his cheeks, dripping on his snow-white beard, silent, after a long time, with a long sigh, he slowly opened his eyes again, and looked at the apprentice nephew in front of him with a kind face, and couldn't help but turn his head, and there was another sigh, before he slowly spoke, "Things have come to this point, Virtuous nephews mourn a lot, you first describe the appearance of this mirror in detail, and let the poor Dao arrange the things on the temple a little, and then go with you. ”

Speaking of this section, the bolt pillar did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly told Huang Daoye about the appearance of the "dark mirror", as well as the surrounding inscriptions, silver metal blocks, and the strange pictures seen in the mirror, and did not forget to add in the end, "Before the family teacher passed away, he also said the word 'narration', and he was stupid and didn't understand what the master wanted to 'narrate'?" ”

"Narrative ... Narrate... Huang Daoye couldn't help but touch his forehead with his hand, closed his eyes and thought hard, and after a long time, he opened his eyes slightly, but his brows still did not open.

After pondering for a moment, Huang Daoye suddenly remembered something, and immediately dissipated his sorrow and said to Zhuzhu: "Wait a minute, I think of a person for my uncle, he is also a friend of your master before his death, his surname is Chen is a professor of history at Sichuan University, this person has a deep understanding of the 'oracle bone inscription' and some ancient texts, it just so happens that he has been doing research in the nearby L city recently, don't worry, Poor Dao will send someone to invite him, we will also set off now, and strive to meet in the old store of the Dong family in 'Shenyuan'." ”

After that, Huang Daochang called two apprentices, talked about it in detail, arranged a deal of affairs in the temple, and then called a boy, packed his bags and packages, and then arranged for the bolt pillar to eat with him, and then took a few apprentices and bolt pillar to the Dong family's old store. Although Huang Daoye was anxious, after all, he was a person in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the traffic was not very developed at that time, so he stopped and stopped, and he was delayed for a long time.

After getting the old store of the Dong family, everyone has finished the ceremony, and Huang Daoye's first apprentice took care of Sun Banxian'er's aftermath, and this busy work was also delayed for two or three days. Anyway, on this day, Sun Banxian'er's aftermath has been handled properly, Huang Daoye and others are gossiping in the guest room of Dongjiadian, and the apprentices outside the door reported that there were two guests at the door, and they named Huang Daoye to find him, thinking that it was Professor Chen, so everyone hurriedly welcomed the two into the house.

said that among the two people, the first one was about 50 years old, of medium stature, with a decent hair, wearing a thick glass mirror, and carrying a briefcase in his hand. But the one who came in after Professor Chen was an old man with a young face, who was not tall, with a rattan cane, and his beard was white, and he didn't speak to everyone when he entered the house, and ate a raw carrot in his hand by himself.

Without waiting for Huang Daoye to ask, Professor Chen said, "Brother Huang is invited, I received a letter from an old friend, and I rushed over with this Jiang Daoye non-stop," and then turned sideways and let Guo Guo point to the Taoist behind him and said, "This is Jiang Daoye of Wudang, and I have been friends for many years, this time I was sent by the school to L City to conduct historical research on the cultural relics unearthed from an ancient tomb, Jiang Daoye was worried about my safety and came to L City with me, I heard that Huang Lao Ge had an accident here, so I made a proposal to bring Jiang Daoye together, thinking... Maybe. Help you ... Later, seeing Huang Daoye's displeasure, Professor Chen became a little submissive.

"Oh~" Huang Daoye looked up to the sky and snorted, "I see, this Taoist friend is invited, this matter is quite dangerous, the day before yesterday, the poor Daoist Brother Sun has died in Si, Jiang Daoyou has to do what he can!" Huang Daoye showed disdain, especially the words "do what you can", and raised his voice.

Jiang Daoye listened, his mouth chewing carrots was obviously stunned, and his eyes shot out of embarrassment, and he recovered from the ancient well in an instant, and said casually, "Thank you for your concern, eh, young people now," he said and looked back at the door, "Why didn't the poor junior brother die so aggrieved?" With that, he took a big bite of the carrot.

"What did the mud say?" The bolt puffed up his cheeks angrily, rolled up his cuffs and made a gesture to make a move.

At this time, Shopkeeper Dong and Professor Chen hurriedly persuaded them from the middle and pulled away from the left and right. Huang and Jiang snorted to each other, and sat on the chairs at both ends, in order to avoid embarrassment, the shopkeeper Dong hurriedly pulled Professor Chen to sit between the two, and asked the clerk to serve fragrant tea.

"Ahem, everyone is a guest from afar," Shopkeeper Dong cleared his throat and said, "Since you are here, you are all here to help, so let's use some tea and rice first, and then go to the little girl's boudoir to check together?" ”

"Wonderful, wonderful," Zhuzhu'er grabbed the conversation and said, "I'm already hungry, so I'm waiting for the mud to talk... ”

"Hmph," at this time, Jiang Daoye sneered and said, "Look at his apprentice, know his master, such a straw bag apprentice, of course, there will also be a straw bag master, do you say so, Huang Daoyou?" ”

Huang Daoye listened, although he was angry in his heart, he was also speechless for a while, and he didn't speak with a bitter face.

"Who's the straw bale that the mud says?" The bolt is gesturing and has to move again.

"Enough!" Huang Daoye stroked the case and said, "Zhuzhu, you are too embarrassed to your master!" After going back to this incident, I knelt down three incense sticks in the Taoist temple and reflected on it! After that, he said to Jiang Daoye, "Since Brother Dao is not hungry, let's go to the scene together now to have a look!" With that, he strode out of the guest room door.

When everyone saw it, they also let out a hi and rushed out.

Under the guidance of the shopkeeper Dong, it didn't take long for the group to arrive at the boudoir where Li'er was alive. When they opened the door, a wave of yin qi came to their faces, and everyone felt a chill all over their bodies, and hurriedly covered their mouths and noses with their sleeves. After waiting for the yin qi to dissipate for a long time, the two Taoist masters took the lead and walked into the room, first glanced at each other, and then glanced around, and their eyes fell on the mirror on the dresser.

At this time, Huang Daoye didn't say hello, took the lead to walk to the dresser, twisted the spirit official recipe with his left hand, stabilized his mind, and picked up the "yin mirror" with his right hand to check it. After confirming that there was no problem, he let go of his fingers, nodded to call Professor Chen, and handed over the mirror to him, Professor Chen looked at the quaint bronze mirror, his originally cloudy eyes released fine light, raised his glasses with his right hand, and then carefully studied it.

After a cup of tea or so, Professor Chen said slowly, "This mirror, it doesn't look like the craftsmanship of the two Han Dynasty, but it looks like the pre-Yin Shang period, but this pattern is undoubtedly from the Qin and Han dynasties, which is really strange." ”

Then, Professor Chen, rubbing the silver metal block, said leisurely, "This is the method of 'bronze inlaid with silver', and the content of this silver is very high, it is really the best of the best in the Qin and Han dynasties!" The inscription on this is 'Flower and Bird Seal' undoubtedly, but I can only recognize a few of these sixteen seal characters at once," Then, pointing to one of the words above, "This is the word 'sincerity' of 'integrity'," and then, pointing to another word, "This is the 'gold' character of 'gold and silver'," and then, pointing to another word, looking at it for a long time, I want to say that I still rested.

Jiang Daoye walked up to Professor Chen, took the mirror casually, looked at the inscription, and then, squinted his eyes slightly, and said word by word, "Xuanjin Zhiqing, you can take sincerity; Jin Qing is gloomy and can be trusted. No wonder it's called 'dark mirror', no wonder, no wonder... ”

"Huh?" After hearing this, everyone looked at Jiang Daoye with surprised eyes, only Professor Chen nodded habitually, and then said with a deep salute, "Since Brother Dao knows this inscription, he must know the origin of this thing if he wants to come, and please give me advice~"

"Don't dare to teach," Jiang Daoye took out a carrot in his left hand, took a bite, and continued, "That is, the vernacular vernacular, these sixteen seal characters, using the early 'flower and bird seal', presumably must be the object used by the great wizard in the pre-Qin period. Thinking about it, what this mirror can communicate with is not necessarily as simple as the soul of the dead. ”

At this time, Huang Daoye interjected, "If according to what Jiang Daoyou said, in addition to the soul of the dead, but also can make Li'er and Senior Brother Sun Yuanyang suck up and die, could it be a demon?!" Then, Huang Daoye's hands formed a thunder god trick and he was about to greet him on the mirror.

"Wait," Jiang Daoye saw it, and hurriedly stopped, "Huang Daoyou can't, we don't know what this 'dark mirror' is connected to now, and it is inevitable to be passive if we act rashly." ”

After hearing this, Huang Daoye nodded, withdrew his hands, and then glanced at the bolt pillar, and the bolt pillar said knowingly, "Before Master E's death, he used to be the word 'narration', but I don't know what 'narration' is?" ”

"Oh~" Huang and Jiang suddenly realized at the same time, and looked at each other and smiled, and said in a voice, "Imaginary space!" ”

After listening to the words of the two Taoist masters, Professor Chen and Shopkeeper Dong immediately understood, only Zhuzhu was still looking at everyone in confusion at this time.

Seeing the confusion of the bolt column, Professor Chen pushed his glasses with his right hand and said: "This 'imaginary space' is also called 'diagonal space', we all know that in our space, the square of -1 does not exist, but if the square of -1 exists, then this number is an imaginary number, and the space where this number exists is 'imaginary space'." ”

"What is 'prescription'?" The bolt stared in confusion.

"Hey," Jiang Daoye sighed, "Professor Chen is Professor Chen, what he said, don't talk about this straw bag, even the poor Tao can't understand it, eh, this 'imaginary space' can be explained in this way, that is, under normal circumstances: people are alive as people, people are ghosts when they die, and ghosts die gradually." In the 'imaginary space', people may not be alive, ghosts may not be dead, and no one knows whether they exist or not, and people may be alive even if they die, and ghosts may not die. In other words, our current space was born because of the opening of heaven and earth and the division of chaos, and in the 'imaginary space' is the chaotic world that has not been opened, yin and yang are the same, and there is no distinction between humans and ghosts, that is, the 'demon domain' that we often hear refers to this. ”

After listening to it, he was still ignorant, but he didn't need to go into detail.

It's just that Huang Daoye said in a deep voice: "Jiang Daoyou, is this mirror a 'yin and yang bridge' that connects the 'virtual reality'?" So how can it be proven? ”

Jiang Daoye listened, not in a hurry, took out three incense sticks from the bag behind him and lit them, and then asked the owner of Dong Shopkeeper, Li'er's birthday eight characters, put the incense in his hand to the ground, and took out an emperor bell from the bag with his right hand, pinched the trick in his left hand, held the bell in his right hand, and recited words in his mouth, although the people around him said that they couldn't understand the spell recited by Jiang Daoye, but they only felt that the sound of this mantra was sometimes far and near, sometimes from near and far, and sometimes brought people's thoughts to infinity, as if the whole world could be accommodated in the chest, Time to bring people's thoughts to infinitesimal small, as if their body is like a speck of dust in the wind fluttering in the wind, everyone sometimes wake up, sometimes intoxicated, I don't know how long it took, faintly heard, "Sick!" Jiang Daoye buckled the emperor bell in his hand on the table, only to hear the sound of "pop", and the three burning incense sticks broke together.

"Soul Arrest?" Huang Daoye was stunned and said, "Daoyou just made it a 'soul arresting spell'?" Do you want to test if you can 'detain' the soul of the child? If we can, it means that our inference is wrong, the opposite side of the 'Yin Light Mirror' is not an 'imaginary space', there are only one or several powerful demons hidden in it, but if the 'detention' does not come, it means that the soul of the child is no longer within the 'Three Realms and Ten Directions', so our inference is correct, and the opposite side of the 'Yin Light Mirror' must be the 'imaginary number space', right? ”

"That's right," Jiang Daoye said with a serious face, "The 'Soul Detention Spell' used by Poor Dao just now didn't 'detain' Li'er's soul, thinking about it, the world behind this 'Yin Light Mirror' must be an 'imaginary space'. ”

Speaking of this section, Jiang Daoye handed the 'Yin Light Mirror' in his hand to the bolt pillar, and at the same time told the bolt pillar to let the bolt post reopen the world of the 'Yin Light Mirror' according to the previous method. When the bolt heard this, his head shook like a rattle, but he refused.

At this time, Jiang Daoye continued, "You have all seen that the sixteen silver blocks on this 'Yin Light Mirror', the reason why their shapes are irregular, should be to represent the eight elements of 'water, fire, wind, thunder, earth, mountain, and air', and arrange the silver blocks in different orders, it is estimated that different 'spaces' will be opened, so if we want to seal one of the spaces, we must arrange the silver blocks in the original order, that is, they must be opened by the bolt pillar in the same way as last time, and it is not wrong at all!" ”

After listening to Jiang Daoye's words, Huang Daoye and the others suddenly realized, so they looked at the bolt pillar like electricity, and the bolt pillar was uncomfortable when they were seen, and they couldn't help blurting out, "Eh, uh, can I go to the toilet?" ”

"Don't go! Hurry up and open it! Huang Daoye roared with hatred of iron, "Smack! As he spoke, he slapped the bolt in the mouth, and suddenly the cheeks on the side of the bolt became red and swollen, and the bolt was so frightened that he cried and fiddled with the "dark mirror".

After a period of nervous busyness, the bolt pillar opened the space of the "dark mirror", and a majestic palace came into view, everyone couldn't help but be amazed, after a while, the silver block was automatic, and the palace dispersed The picture became a dark deep hole, which was dark, dim and dark, unfathomable.

Just when everyone looked at the black hole suspiciously, they only heard a bitter and harsh and cold and piercing laugh inside the mirror, Jiang and Huang The two Taoist masters listened, frowned, and hurriedly pinched the magic trick with their left hand, and held the magic weapon in their right hand as if facing a great enemy, and the bolt pillar was frightened when he heard it, his face was like gold paper, his body was weak and sifted through chaff, and he collapsed to the ground with a "poof", like a puddle of mud.

At this moment, a monster's face suddenly appeared in the mirror, only to see that the monster, wrapped in layers of black gas, could not see the specific appearance, a pair of blood-red eyes, a bloody mouth, the mouth was full of teeth as thin as the tip of a needle, densely packed I don't know how many, there was red blood lying in the mouth, with the huge mouth one by one strange smile, a stream of unpleasant bloody gas rushed towards the face.

When everyone saw this strange thing, they couldn't help but be stunned, but they said that at this moment, the monster actually stretched out a claw from the mirror, the claw was covered with green fluff, the tip of the six fingers was like an eagle's claw, and the hand was still dripping with dark green unknown liquid, the liquid fell to the ground, emitting a trace of white smoke, accompanied by the "bang" sound when the red-hot iron was thrown into the water, and a stench of burning.

I saw the claw, straight to the bolt pillar that was sitting on the ground, the bolt pillar "Mom", and then a stinking smell filled the whole room, accompanied by this smell, and the bolt's crying voice, "No need to pee, no pee, help~"

said that it was too late, then quickly, Jiang Daoye picked up the rattan cane, and pointed straight at the eyes of the monster in the mirror, Huang Daoye had already taken out the magic sword from the magic bag, and slashed at the monster's wrist, only to hear the sound of "dang chang~", the magic sword seemed to be cut straight on the steel, and was bounced back, although it changed the trajectory of the strange claw, and Huang Daoye also took a few steps backwards to stabilize his body.

But said Jiang Daoye, at the same time that the rattan cane was clicked, the monster's head was slightly on one side, and it didn't hit the eyes, but it was on the forehead, which only shocked Jiang Daoye's arm numb, and the monster changed the direction of its claws and stretched out towards Jiang Daoye.

Huang Daoye, who was concerned about this, stabilized his body, jumped forward quickly, and kicked the mirror held in the hand of the bolt pillar into the air, not wanting to, the mirror did not fall to the ground, but was suspended in the air, and the monster was stunned for a moment, and randomly laughed wildly.

As the decibels of laughter get higher and higher, the black gas around the monster is getting thicker and thicker, and the laughter is getting weaker, and the black gas is also inhaled by the monster.

But at this time, the two Taoist masters could only hear the sad voice behind them, "Daughter~" But it was the Dong shopkeeper who ran to the mirror frantically, "Daughter, you come back, the father you think about is so bitter~"

"Not good." The two Daoists screamed at the same time and glanced at each other, just this glance, the two Daoists had already exchanged ideas with their eyes and reached an agreement, only to see that Jiang Daoye used the rattan staff in his hand to intercept the Dong shopkeeper behind him, Huang Daoye threw the magic sword in his hand, and shot it in the eyes of the monster, only to hear a scream of "ah~", the magic sword was inserted in the eyes of the monster, but after a while, the magic sword disappeared without a trace, and the monster changed into the appearance of Sun Banxian'er, and the black gas came out of his body, gushing out of the world outside the mirror.

The bolt pillar that was paralyzed on the ground saw "Master", and he didn't know where the courage came from, so he rushed over in the face of the black smoke, shouting in his mouth, "Master~" An arrow step to the approach of the mirror, Jiang Huang and the two Taoist masters wanted to stop it, but it was too late, only to see that the bolt pillar was close to the "Sun Ban Xian'er" suddenly revealed his true appearance, and opened a bloody mouth to bite the bolt's head, at this time, if it was someone else, I was afraid that nine lives would also die under the mouth of the monster, at this critical moment, the bolt column broke out his ability beyond ordinary people, shouted a sentence "Forehead Niang~" fainted on his back, and slapped on the ground like a puddle of mud with a "pop", the monster bit into the air, and Huang Daoye shrugged his shoulders to Jiang Daoye helplessly.

The monster looked at the bolt pillar with white foam at the corner of his mouth on the ground, and his eyes showed a trace of disdain, and he walked around the bolt pillar with his teeth and claws, and ran towards Jiang and Huang Daoye, and Huang Daoye suddenly shouted at this time, carrying the magic sword in his right hand, and twisting the sword trick in his left hand Bai Hong jumped over with a move, standing with the monster, and shouted at the same time, "Jiang Daoyou, this monster is very yin, if you want to seal him, it is best to trap him, but... ”

Before he finished speaking, he only heard the sound of "dang chang~", the magic sword in Huang Daoye's hand was knocked away by the monster, and the sound of "poof" pierced the beam, and Huang Daoye, who had no magic sword to protect himself, lost the power to parry, and could only dodge left and right, and after a while, his body was colored. Seeing this, Jiang Daoye yelled, "Fetch water!" Then he picked up the rattan staff in his right hand and jumped into the circle in a flying shape.

Professor Chen was already frightened at this time, and when he heard Jiang Daoye's heavy drinking, he hurriedly rushed out of the room to find a bowl of water, and when he came back, he saw that Huang Daoye had already taken out a measuring ruler from the magic bag, and Jiang Daoye was struggling to restrain the monster that was about to crawl out.

Jiang Daoye saw Professor Chen, holding the water bowl back, so he made a look at Huang Daoye, Huang Daoye understood, and waved the ruler to stop the monster, Jiang Daoye flew out of the circle, came to Professor Chen, grabbed the water bowl, and kept changing the trick in his hand, because the speed was too fast, Professor Chen and the shopkeeper Dong only saw a piece of afterimage, and after a while, he had already cursed a bowl of water, and then Jiang Daoye shouted violently, "Dodge!" ”

After Huang Daoye heard it, he immediately jumped out, Jiang Daoye took the fastest speed, took a mouthful of magic water and sprayed it to the monster, and waited for a mouthful of spray, his right hand had already held the emperor bell, and there were words in his mouth, and the water droplets sprayed on the monster condensed into ice at a speed visible to the naked eye, the monster was taken aback, and hurriedly fled to the mirror, Jiang Daoye was not in a hurry to take a closer look, and hurriedly repeated the process of soaking water and chanting mantras, and the emperor bell in his right hand had already shook like a storm and clouds, and like a storm, and even more stormy waves. Everyone present except for Huang Daoye, one by one covered their ears and rolled on the ground in pain, and Jiang Daoye didn't seem to have the intention of stopping at all, the monster had long been unable to hold on, and retreated to the "Yin Light Mirror" desperately, and when the monster completely retreated into the mirror, Jiang Daoye splashed the remaining water in the bowl on the mirror surface of the "Yin Light Mirror", freezing the mirror to a solid one. Then he opened the portable magic bag as soon as possible, took out the "Dutian Dafa Main Seal" and printed it on the mirror, and after doing all this, Jiang Daoyou was like a deflated ball, and suddenly fell to the ground, panting heavily.

When everything was settled, Huang Daoye slowly walked to Jiang Daoye's side, first gave a deep salute, and then put Jiang Daoye's hands up, the two Daoye immediately looked at each other, smiled, and held their two right hands tightly together.

The story told by Tang Wokren ended here, and the three of us who listened to it seemed to be immersed in the scene and were silent for a long time.

"Ahem," Wei Daoye was the first to react, "But, Old Man Tang, you said that there is no you in this story?" ”

When Old Man Tang heard this, he couldn't help but blush, and he stopped talking.

"Hahaha," Wang Daoyou said with a smile, "Come to think of it, Tang Wok Ren is your name changed when you are old, right?" 'Bolt' is your real name, right? ”

"Uh," Old Man Tang said embarrassedly, "'Bolt Pillar' is a small name for the forehead~"

"Hahaha... Everyone laughed heartily.

After laughing for a long time, I couldn't help frowning, if it was said that the teacher had done his best to seal the mirror back then, then what should I do now? Besides, the "delicate" body has been occupied by the monster for a long time, and it may not be a good thing to force it, so I can't help but light a cigarette and think carefully.

"Lao Yang," Wang Daoyou said with a straight face, "Don't think about it, your apprentice's business is the business of all of us, what the elders could do back then, and now we can still do it, it's all for the sake of 'below' things to practice your hands, what do you say'Lao Wei'?" As he spoke, he winked at Wei Daoye.

Wei Daoye smiled knowingly, and echoed, "Yes, yes, what Lao Wang said is very good, as long as we all fight together, we will fight a family, and we will definitely be invincible!" As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand.

Looking at Wei Daoye's outstretched right hand, I was also moved to stretch out my right hand, at this time Wang Daoyou also stretched out his right hand, just when the three of us were just about to shake together, the "old man out of tune" voice sounded behind him: "With a forehead, with a forehead, the forehead should also be together~"
