Chapter 9: The Mirror (1)

"The Pavilion Master will definitely agree, because what the Pavilion Master needs more than my life is an artifact. ”

Xiao Han looked up at her, his tone full of affirmation.

"Hahaha, you're right, I really need an artifact. It's just that how many people have taken the initiative to invite Ying into these twelve temples in the past few hundred years, but no one has come out alive so far, why are you so sure that you will definitely be able to get the artifact?"

Changrong got up and walked back as she spoke, half-lying on the high seat, it was almost noon here, and she felt a little sleepy.

"If I don't come out alive from that temple, I'll be sorry for my sins with death, but I'd better fight before I die. As long as I get the artifact and bring it back, I will forget that the Pavilion Master will be able to find an antidote for her and get her out of the sea of suffering. When the time comes, no matter what kind of punishment the pavilion master gives me, I will willingly accept it. ”

Xiao Han's clear analysis, no one who listens to it seems to have no reason to refuse.

"He's really an infatuated good man, so I'll give you this opportunity. If you can come back with the artifact safely within a month, not only will I not punish you, but I can even give you the position of the owner of this killing shop. But you should know that the rules must be followed, even if the capital crime can be avoided, the living crime cannot be escaped, so come to me to receive the punishment after you come back from the mission!"

Changrong said that, he flicked his sleeves and got up and walked to the apse, and Xiao Han got up and left after getting the order. None of them noticed that a black shadow flashed outside the door and disappeared at the end of the hallway.

The twelfth temple that Xiao Han said was the weakest artifact in the ranking of the twelve artifacts. It is said that it is invisible and invisible, and can transform according to the human heart, and the guardian god is attached to the artifact, as long as it can break the illusion, it can defeat the guardian attached to it.

The legend is still known from the mouths of those who are timid, and who rush out as soon as they step inside, because those who are bent on obtaining the artifact are trapped in dreams, tirelessly, and without feeling hunger, until they die of starvation and exhaustion and turn into piles of white bones.

It took the Pavilion Master nearly a hundred years to determine the location of the twelve temples, and the twelfth temple was under a cold pool.

It was obviously a hot summer, but the water in this cold pool was cold and biting. Fortunately, Xiao Han was originally cultivated by the snow wolf, and he was able to endure this cold cold, so he tried to make sure that there was nothing abnormal underwater, so he plunged into it with a fierce son.

The further he sank, the colder the water became, and he could only endure and try to go downstream, until he entered the enchantment of the temple, and the chill was finally blocked by the enchantment.

He wiped the water from his face, strode over to the temple, and pushed the door open.

With a bang, the door opened, and there was nothing but darkness with no end in sight. The smell of choking dust filled the air, and Xiao Han couldn't help but hold his breath, not only because of the dust, but also because of the unknown that awaited him.

It was evident that no one had been here for a long time, and the surroundings were empty, and even the sound of him stepping into the hall echoed in the hall.

Quiet, all he felt was the more and more suffocating silence, so quiet that after he stopped, he could already hear the heartbeat bursting from his body except for his own breathing.

Knock knock, knock knock...... Xiao Han tried to suppress his increasingly uneasy thoughts, but the door was suddenly driven by a force and squeaked shut.

His feet grew brighter, and then he was dragged down by an invisible force, and the sound of the wind whistled past his ears, and he kept falling and falling until he fell into a bamboo forest.

As he gradually woke up from his vague consciousness, he struggled to get up from the ground, only to find himself safe from top to bottom.

And the mirror he was holding in his hand, the back of the mirror was mottled with rust, and his reflection could be clearly seen on the mirror.

"Congratulations on successfully obtaining the artifact. ”

Xiao Han hadn't reacted yet, but the reflection in the mirror spoke by itself.

"You...... How could you?"

"You don't have to be nervous, I'm just the guardian of this mirror, and my body is nothingness, so I will transform into the face of each mirror bearer. ”

As soon as this guardian's words came out, Xiao Han couldn't help but wonder even more, how could he get the artifact even more obviously before he did anything?

"I know you have doubts in your heart, but you have the courage to walk in and pass the test in the temple, which means that you are destined to be the chosen one, and since you have chosen all these mirrors, I must bow down to you. ”

Although Xiao Han hadn't figured out the reason yet, he still felt a little happy because he had obtained the artifact.

"But now that you are already the owner of the artifact, why do you still want to hand me over to your pavilion master?"

The guardian in the mirror could see through his thoughts, but he had to exchange the artifact for the antidote, so he didn't want to say anything.

"You can't hand me over to her, because she can't help you find an antidote, and the reason why she agreed is just a delaying tactic for you. What's more, you've taken the artifact for her, and she still wants you to be punished, you know how cruel that punishment is, walking on those hot flint-filled pavements, if not dead, your feet will be crippled. ”

Xiao Han looked at the guardian and said firmly, "The pavilion master will find the antidote for me, because she has never broken her word." As for the punishment, I deserve it, besides, we demons are different from ordinary people, our healing ability is extremely strong, but the process of punishment is just painful, what can't I bear?"

The Guardian's expression grew brighter from serious to smiling.

"What if I could give you an antidote? I will not only give you an antidote, but I will also have a way for you to marry the woman you love the most. Not only that, even if you want to ascend to the throne of the emperor of the Northern Li Realm, I can plan for you. As long as you don't give me to anyone, I can completely make the whole world yours alone. ”

Xiao Han lowered his head and couldn't help laughing, maybe these would have been his desires in the past, but now......

"I just want her to be enough. ”

The guardian in the mirror couldn't help but shake his head, so no matter how strong a man is, once he is in love, he can't get out.

"Women are weak and useless, what is there to be nostalgic for?"

yes, what is it? He thought about it, and in a trance, the memory seemed to go back to the first time they met.

It was a winter day after the snow had fallen, and he received an order to come to the house and paint a portrait of her to be sent to the palace.

She had the calmness and calmness of an unusual woman, but she stopped him when he finished handing in the picture scroll and was about to leave the yard.

"Sir, stay. ”

He shouldn't have stayed, because no one had called him a word for a long time.

He turned around and saw her leaning half out of the wall. The pretty face was stained with two lumps of red, and he must have stood in the snow for a long, long time, just waiting for him to pass by.
