Chapter 4 The Picture in the Mirror
When Ye Fan returned to the temple, the sky was already dark.
The temple gate was like a bazaar, noisy and noisy. Most of the pilgrims who watched the miraculous scene of Ye Fan saving people wanted to ask Ye Fan for help, and the other part came to see the excitement when they heard the wind.
As soon as Ye Fan came back, these pilgrims immediately surrounded him, treating Ye Fan as if he were a rare treasure.
"Little Master! Show me, I've had a terrible headache lately, do I need a garlic compress? ”
"Little Master! My daughter-in-law is about to give birth, can you go over and take a look, and let my daughter-in-law give birth to a son! ”
"Little Master, I have a lot of garlic at home! You might as well go to my house! ”
This group of people rushed up, eager to split Ye Fan into countless petals and then divide them.
Ye Fan was speechless when he heard that, garlic is not an elixir, how can he use it to treat any disease. As for those who let themselves help give birth to a son, it is even more excessive.
People are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, and for a while, those pilgrims were reluctant to let Ye Fan go. In the face of these enthusiastic pilgrims, Ye Fan was too worried.
In the midst of everyone's pulling and noisy, the little monk Huiming ran over: "Donors, Ye Fangshi is also tired today, let's let him go today, let's come back another day, besides, it is really unseemly to be so noisy in front of Buddhism!" ”
When the pilgrims heard this, their expressions were shaken, and they woke up from a big dream.
So he let Ye Fan go, and they scattered one by one.
Huiming's relief made Ye Fan extremely grateful: "Little Master Huiming, thank you very much!" ”
Huiming bowed politely: "Abbot Yuande said that Ye Fangshi must have gained something today, the road ahead is difficult and dangerous, Ye Fangshi should rest early and take care of his physical strength!"
Ye Fan nodded and smiled politely at Huiming.
After helping Ye Fan, Huiming went to chant again.
Ye Fan returned to the meditation room.
Sitting on the edge of the table, Ye Fan carefully took out the rat tail and the demon mirror.
At this moment, a rich yin wind blew in.
"Wow!" Suddenly, it looked like someone had a full hiccups.
Hearing this familiar voice, Ye Fan felt more cordial and said, "It's been a day, have you eaten enough?" ”
"Enough, enough. You don't have to suck sesame oil for months! "The voice is very diffuse.
Knowing the fearless character of the voice owner, Ye Fan kindly persuaded: "Don't be too unscrupulous, it's not good to make the great god enshrined here angry!" ”
It didn't seem to be afraid of the lord enshrined here, and the voice said in an extremely unruly voice: "He also dares? In terms of seniority, he can only be on the same level as me. Besides, the Upper God Realm and the eight poles here can't fight together, and they will never be able to get down, hehe! Even if people wanted to, I couldn't help it. ”
Not wanting to mention the people above his head again, the voice changed the subject and said, "You kid is also majestic enough today!" Everything is ready, and when it's all done, it's time to start working. ”
Ye Fan's attention once again shifted to the bronze mirror and rat tail in his hand.
This bronze mirror needs to be infused with the unique power of the Fangshi, and the power of the Fangshi is different from that of ordinary internal masters.
Fangshi pays attention to the cultivation of "god", and the master of internal strength pays attention to the cultivation of "qi".
Therefore, what this bronze mirror needs is the "essence of the original spirit" of the alchemist, also known as the "original divine power".
Placing the rat tail on top of the bronze mirror, Ye Fan began to slowly inject his Yuan Shen power into the bronze mirror.
Suddenly, a dazzling blue light emanated from the bronze mirror.
The waveless mirror of the ancient well suddenly rippled like water waves, and a vivid picture opened up in the water waves.
The wind was blowing, the jackdaws were chirping, and it seemed to be a ravine, when suddenly there was a rustling sound in the distance, like a flood.
It turned out to be hundreds of fist-thick rats moving here, and the picture in the mirror kept switching, and suddenly stopped, only to see that what appeared in the picture was a mouse the size of eight or nine babies, grinning and greedily sucking the flesh of a wild boar.
It turns out that the main owner is also a rat spirit.
At this point in the picture, Ye Fan originally thought it was over, but suddenly the picture turned again, and there was indeed a peach tree in the bronze mirror. The peach tree is lifelike, like a living thing.
Ye Fan was suddenly shocked, he had actually seen this tree. In the courtyard where I met Abbot Entoku for the first time.
Studied but cannot comprehend!
"Ye Fan, what did you see?" The voice in his ear suddenly asked.
Ye Fan didn't seem to hear it, and what was shown in the mirror made him curious, so he went out of the meditation room and returned to the courtyard to find out.
The sky was dark, and the moon was hanging high.
The silent peach trees scatter a faint fluorescence in the moonlight, like a beauty under the moon.
Ye Fan looked up at the divergent tree pole and saw countless items hanging on the branches.
This is a wishing tree.
Ye Fan took out the demon seeking mirror in his hand, and at this moment, the mirror actually bloomed with a soft light, as if he had sensed something on the tree.
With the guidance of the underworld, follow the changes in the strength of this light. Ye Fan found a handkerchief hanging on the tree.
"What is this?"
Unfolded the handkerchief, only to see two lines of small characters written on the handkerchief.
May Ming'er grow up healthily!
Yunxi stay!
Ye Fan tentatively put the handkerchief on the demon mirror, and suddenly there was a flash of blue light. This time, the bronze mirror showed a beautiful woman, her eyes full of love, singing a lullaby to the child in her arms.
"Ahem!" The sound of footsteps suddenly shattered the mysterious atmosphere.
Ye Fan raised his head, and the person who came was the abbot of Yuande.
Ye Fan raised his handkerchief and said puzzledly: "Master Abbot, who left this handkerchief?" ”
Yuande clasped his hands together: "Amitabha! It seems that the Demon Finder Mirror has already helped Ye Fangshi find the answer! ”
"The owner of this handkerchief is the one who left this demon mirror to me!"
Yes! This answer shocked Ye Fan and couldn't believe it.
"Her real name is Yunxi, and she is also the wife of the general Li Yingtai! It's a pity that Hongyan died early! ”
"Miss Yunxi is a kind person, and many people in the small town have been blessed by her."
When he heard Yuande describe the owner of this handkerchief as a girl, Ye Fan felt a little ironic inexplicably, after all, the places where this demon search mirror appeared were basically not people.
However, she can keep the demon mirror to herself, and ask herself to help the town get rid of the demon, thinking that she must have a heart of great love that distinguishes between right and wrong.
Ye Fan sighed: "Master Abbot, the Demon Finder has already helped me find that monster, and I will leave tomorrow morning." ”
Yuan De bowed and said, "That old man will chant in the Buddha hall and pray for Ye Fangshi's safe return."
Ye Fan didn't want to say much about the rest of the words, so he exchanged glances with Yuande and went back to the meditation room.
Yuande looked at the peach tree alone.
The wind blows, and the peach trees rustle.
"Amitabha!" Yuande lowered his head and began to chant again.
The night ended.
......
To the east is an endless wasteland, and to the west is shrouded by three mountains, and in the middle is this small frontier city.
Ye Fan carried the rising sun on his back, and when he left the temple, he didn't say goodbye to anyone, and set off for the deep mountains.
Carrying a cloth bag on his back, he walked on foot, like a walker.
Hardship is an experience in life. This is a kind of creed among Fang Shi, such as carrying a boulder outside the city, it is not that Ye Fan is bored or abuses himself.
Because the pain and hardship that the alchemists have to face is far heavier than the hands and feet, if they do not always remind themselves to set the right attitude, when the catastrophe comes, it is very likely that they will die because of the wavering faith.
At the fork in the mountain, Ye Fan encountered two officers and soldiers and stopped Ye Fan's behavior of entering the mountain.
"Boy! Today, the city is completely blocked, and no one is allowed to enter the mountain! ”
Ye Fan looked helpless: "I have something urgent to go into the mountain, can I be accommodating?" ”
"Who is going to pick this time to enter the mountain!" An indifferent voice followed by a big fat man with a bloated body leading a troop on another road.
Wang Meng happened to lead the troops to inspect this area.
The two soldiers immediately saluted: "Lord Wang! ”
Seeing that Ye Fan dared to enter the mountain alone as a single teenager, Wang scolded: "Boy, this mountain is full of man-eating beasts, not to mention that when the city is closed, you shouldn't come here alone on weekdays!" Hurry back! ”
Ye Fan said helplessly: "This adult! I promised Abbot Yuande to go into the mountain today to help him complete one thing, and I can't take it back when I say it! I hope the adults will be accommodating! ”
"Oh!" Wang Meng was shocked, and actually stepped forward in person: "Then you are Ye Fan Ye Fangshi?" ”
Forehead! I didn't expect my name to be known by the official.
Ye Fan nodded.
Wang Meng's face was immediately filled with a smile, and he stepped forward kindly and took the initiative to hold Ye Fan's hands: "Sure enough, it's Ye Fangshi, your name is like thunder in the city!" ”
Ye Fan looked confused, how could he suddenly be like thunder as an ascetic!
In fact, Ye Fan didn't know that those pilgrims yesterday were not idle when they went back, and they went back to the neighbors to publicize everywhere, coupled with the rumors and hype, hundreds of people just spread the word that Ye Fan was a little immortal all over the city.
"Since Ye Fangshi is going to enter the mountain, it's nothing to let go!" Wang Meng's attitude was the same as the two just now.
"But what is Ye Fangshi going to do, please reveal, this official is also routine!"
Ye Fan was a little sluggish, and then explained truthfully: "Eh! Somewhere in this mountain, there's a monster hidden, and I'm going in today to catch it! ”
When Wang Meng heard this, his eyes were as big as copper bells. I was also going to look for the murderer in the city, but I didn't expect someone to give an answer.
"What Ye Fangshi said is true!"
Looking at Wang Meng's anxious white face, Ye Fan nodded lightly.
"Honestly! The boss is urging me to catch this monster within fifteen days! Ye Fangshi is really my lucky star! ”
"Please also ask Ye Fangshi to take us with him when he exterminates the demon."
Ye Fan looked embarrassed: "This adult, it is extremely dangerous to follow me, and if you are not careful, you will lose your life!" ”
Wang Meng shook his head again and again: "It's okay!" Anyway! No one here is afraid of death! ”
Ye Fan looked at Wang Meng, and these soldiers were all professionally trained and of high quality. Thinking of having one more person and more strength, Ye Fan also agreed.
