Chapter 4: The Ritual of the Laurel Glass Mirror
There was silence all around.
Sunny moonlight casts through a gap in the roof of an abandoned factory and shines on the factory floor.
Month to midday.
Jiang Ge knew that the time had come for the ceremony to begin.
He immediately took out a modern industrial round mirror from his backpack.
The secrets from the ancient mirror grinders flowed through his heart, and Jiang Ge recalled the content of the ceremony.
"There are three elements of the Mirror Ceremony......
"The Moon is ...... in the Mirror"
"Therefore, the first element is the moon in the mirror......"
Jiang Ge adjusted his orientation so that the full moon was reflected in the mirror.
At this moment, the shadow of the full moon in the mirror was slightly blurred, as if a thin veil was covered, and then it returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.
Jiang Ge didn't care and continued with the second step.
"The moon and the laurel tree are accompanied ......"
"Therefore, the second element is the ...... of laurel fragrance"
He took out the laurel petals he had bought from the flower shop and sprinkled them around the round mirror.
The petals fall, and the fragrance of the flowers diffuses.
The moon shadow in the mirror shook slightly, but this time it was more obvious, and the mirror was like ripples on the surface of the water.
"The love of the moon is luxurious, and it should be enshrined in the color of glass......"
"Therefore, the third element is the five-color glazed ......"
Jiang Ge took out the five-colored glass bead and calculated the angle.
The moonlight shines through the five-colored glass beads, refracting a more psychedelic effect than the sun's rays.
What's even more amazing is that the moon shadow in the mirror is also dyed with a layer of colorful glass.
In a trance, on the mirror, there seemed to be fog, and it was like water waves shaking.
A round of glass moon seems to break free from the mirror and emerge, and something amazing is about to happen!
"It works!"
Jiang Ge was slightly happy in his heart.
But when he got to this point, he suddenly stopped.
Hold the glass beads to block the moonlight and let the change stop.
It's not time yet.
He still has to wait.
According to the orientation of the moon.
In a few minutes it was midnight, the time when the shadow appeared.
That's when he did it.
Outside the factory, the whirring wind blew at some point.
The grass outside the factory was blown, and there was a rustling sound.
In an instant, Jiang Ge felt a gaze full of malice coming at him, and goosebumps rose all over his body.
The shadow is coming!
"As long as you are watched, your body becomes stiff."
"But...... Barely moving! Jiang Ge felt his body still being manipulated.
The Mirror Ritual was not yet complete, but it had given him the ability to fight against the shadow.
Jiang Ge saw the shadow and stalked in the shadows, appearing outside the range of the moonlight, in the darkness.
The strange thing is that there was nothing on the face of the shadow he saw last night, but at this moment, facial features appeared, and a pair of dark eyes turned drippingly.
And that face ...... Vaguely similar to him.
"What the hell...... Becoming me? ”
Jiang Ge instantly gave birth to enlightenment.
If this shadow is allowed to continue, the consequences may be more serious than he expected.
If he can't solve this shadow.
This shadow will not only consume his soul, but it will also take over his body and replace him!
"What the hell...... Damn it! ”
Fear and anger swelled up, but Jiang Ge's heart calmed down little by little.
He knew very well that he only had one chance.
He held his breath slightly, waiting for the shadow to approach, and also for the final, and must succeed in the blow.
At this time, the shadow also seemed to notice that the mirror and laurel petals illuminated by the moonlight actually showed a trace of jealousy in his eyes.
After absorbing a large amount of Jiang Ge's soul and spirituality, this shadow seems to have gradually acquired the ability to think like a human being, from acting completely instinctively at the beginning.
That's not enough to call it wisdom, but it's more than enough to call it cunning.
But it seems that instinct prevailed in the end.
The shadow watched for a moment, and then couldn't contain its greed and appetite.
Little by little, tentatively walking towards Jiangge.
It didn't take long for it to realize that these things didn't have much of a suppressive effect on him.
A hideous arc suddenly appeared on his face.
Grinning and pounced on Jiang Ge!
Here it comes!
A gust of wind is coming!
Jiang Ge's eyes widened.
The five fingers of the stiff right hand were spread out.
Lose the bondage of the five fingers.
In an instant, the five-colored glass beads instantly broke away from his palm and fell towards the round mirror.
The round mirror that Jiang Ge bought is an industrial glass mirror.
According to the normal situation, a glass bead the size of a baby's fist fell on it.
It's enough to smash the mirror.
No matter how bad it is, it can smash a few cracks.
The glass bead that showed a five-color glow under the moonlight, when it touched the mirror.
But the expected sound of shattering did not come.
In the light of the hazy moonlight, the mirror turned into something like the surface of water.
Five-colored glass beads smashed like one of them.
Splash the waves.
Sinking and sinking, sinking and sinking again......
Until the moon shadow melts into that round of mirrors!
At the moment when the shadow was about to touch him, the moon shadow in the mirror was completely dyed the color of glass!
Jiang Ge's hoarse and deep voice sounded in the wind.
"Praise the mirror moon, the god born in the mirror, the god of floating bubbles, the god of blurred dreams...... I hereby pray for the power of the mirror moon, relying on the mirror, turning the world upside down, and exchanging the virtual and the real......"
The secret legend called "The Secret of the Mirror Grinder" flows through my heart.
If the key is inserted into the keyhole, the Mirror Ritual begins.
Jiang Ge seemed to hear the response-
The power of the mirror moon has descended!
In an instant, the world became a blur.
The surrounding scenery is like a thin veil, hazy and hazy, making it difficult to see clearly.
The full moon in the sky disappeared at some point.
And in the round mirror placed on the ground, the glass-colored moon actually emitted an incomparable light!
It's like the moon in the sky, falling in the mirror!
"The dust is upside down, the moon enters the mirror, and the mirror moon is ......" Jiang Ge looked at the blurry scene in front of him, even if the crisis had not been resolved, he couldn't help but have a little longing in his eyes.
The moonlight condensed into glass-colored chains, flying out of the mirror and wrapping around the disembodied shadow.
Little by little, you have to drag it into the mirror.
The shadow found itself bound, frightened at first, and let out an angry but silent roar.
It was the wrath of discovering that the food dared to resist itself.
And the shadow struggled hard, but it resisted the pull of the moonlight chains, and even faintly had a tendency to break free.
The chains are straightened, and it is impossible to go any further.
The shadow also noticed this, and grinned smugly at Jiang Ge.
At this time, Jiang Ge moved.
He bent down, picked up the shining round mirror with lightning speed, and smashed it on the head in the eyes of the dark shadow, which suddenly became extremely frightened.
"Laugh Nima's fart! Let Lao Tzu in! ”
