Chapter 8: The Mirror
"Then this Bliss Ascension Immortal San, isn't it a kind of elixir?" Wang De asked curiously.
"Maybe," Jiang Ge shook his head, "but that doesn't mean that it's some kind of elixir of immortality." ”
In ancient times, seekers often had the saying of taking medicine in order to pursue the illusion world.
There is a real elixir, but it is by no means accessible to mortals.
What can be circulated among mortals is either fake drugs or hallucinogens.
For example, the Wei and Jin dynasties were rampant for a while.
It is usually used by some less gifted apprentices to stimulate their spirits and climb into the illusionary realm.
If a mortal takes it, there may be a very small chance that he can glimpse some images of the illusion world.
But more often than not, it is because the spirit is stimulated by this kind of medicine, and the illusion of climbing to the fairy land to see the immortals.
But the trade-off is that this kind of stuff generally has a lot of side effects on the human body, and at the same time has a high degree of addiction.
Jiang Ge didn't know what the idea of those who made the Extreme Bliss Ascending Immortal and sold it was up.
It's to use this to gather money, or to fish and seduce mortals or even apprentices who are interested in the fantasy world.
But for ordinary people like Wang De, this blissful ascension to immortality is not touched.
Otherwise, if you are not careful, you may sink into the mud.
…………
After reminding Wang De, Jiang Ge came to the door of the dean's office of the Academy of Letters.
Knock knock.
"Please come in."
Jiang Ge pushed the door in.
Xiao Wenyu, the dean of the Faculty of Arts, is at least 60 years old and has white hair.
"Teacher Xiao." Jiang Ge nodded in acknowledgment.
Xiao Wenyu was Jiang Ge's literary tutor when he was in college.
Jiang Ge was able to get a letter of appointment as a trainee lecturer, which had a lot to do with his ability to defy public opinion.
"Jiang Ge?" Xiao Wenyu was a little surprised when he saw Jiang Ge's complexion, "Are you well?" ”
"I got better last night and I woke up this morning feeling better." Jiang Ge explained simply.
"That's fine, I happen to have something to look for you." Xiao Wenyu took out a document and handed it to Jiang Ge.
"About my instructor assessment?" Jiang Ge asked in a deep voice, he talked to Wang De just now and learned about it.
"It seems that you already know," Xiao Wenyu paused and said, "Not long after you joined the company, you fell ill and asked for leave, and the time dragged on for a long time, and there were many dissatisfied voices in the academy.
The Academy takes this very seriously and is ready to set a deadline for you...... But now that you're well, you can prepare for the lecturer assessment. ”
"The academy hopes that you can complete the assessment within a week, what is your opinion?" Xiao Wenyu asked.
"No problem, teacher, is it okay to set the time in six days?"
The lecturer assessment at Ryugu University is actually a large-scale public class.
In addition to the lecturers who are specially examined, many students and teachers will go to attend the lectures.
In the end, the evaluation results will be determined by the evaluation of the teacher, the students and other teachers, and the evaluation of the students and other teachers.
And he still has a polymath on his head, and the title of the youngest lecturer at Ryugu University, and there will definitely be no fewer people going to his class.
Especially because of his background and age, there are definitely not a few people who come to see him unhappy.
Fortunately, he was prepared, and he was not afraid of this.
Xiao Wenyu nodded, "Okay, then you can go back and prepare well, don't let me down." ”
"I will be a teacher." Jiang Ge said solemnly.
…………
Ryugu City, shopping street.
Jiang Ge came to a shop in the shopping street.
The shop has a signboard [Mirror House] hanging on it.
There are many mirrors inside.
Dressing mirrors, large vertical mirrors, and clothing mirrors are all available.
Jiang Ge looked around and found that most of them were glass mirrors made by modern industry.
"Guest, are you going to buy a mirror?"
A beautiful female clerk who looked like a student walked over.
"Do you sell those small mirrors in your store?" Jiang Ge gestured, "It's about the size of a palm, preferably round." ”
"Guest, you're talking about the kind of small vanity mirrors that are popular among girls, some of them." The clerk thought for a while, and took out a small round mirror from behind the counter, the size and style were very in line with Jiang Ge's needs.
The only fly in the ointment is that the back of the mirror is pink, and there is a bubbling heart pattern.
"That's it." Jiang Ge nodded.
He bought the mirror to make the Mirror of the Mirror Grinder's Seal, and he didn't care about his appearance.
But this color doesn't seem to fit his macho temperament.
"Is there any other color?" He asked.
"I'm sorry, guest, it's only this color."
The clerk enthusiastically said, "But pink is very popular among girls now, and your girlfriend will be very happy to receive this gift." ”
Girlfriend? What the heck?
The clerk seems to have misunderstood something. But Jiang Ge didn't bother to explain.
"How much is it?"
"Ten copper coins."
"Well, I want ten."
"Ten? Are you sure? The clerk blinked.
"Ten." Jiang Ge nodded.
Making the Mirror of Seals doesn't seem easy, and he needs to have more mirrors to try.
The clerk hurriedly ran over to pack a mirror for Jiang Ge, but his eyes were a little strange when he looked at Jiang Ge.
Jiang Ge didn't care, and continued to ask, "In addition to the glass mirror, do you have a bronze mirror, or an iron mirror or something?" ”
The method of entering the illusion world deduced from the apprentice of the dragon, as well as some anecdotal inferences about the mirror grinder in the book "The Origin of the Mirror".
Different people have different ways to enter the illusory world, such as the bliss ascension to immortality that Wang De said to him before, which is also one of the ways to enter the illusory world.
Of course, he was naturally not stupid enough to take medicine or anything, and he was ready to use the method of a mirror grinder to enter the illusion world.
And this method requires the use of mirrors.
However, he was not sure whether modern industrial mirrors were reliable, and he also wanted to make a metal sealing mirror according to the attempts of the old mirror grinders.
"Guest, there is no iron mirror, but there is a retro bronze mirror, do you want it?" The clerk removed a bronze mirror from the corner of the counter.
The mirror is slightly larger than a palm, with intricate patterns on the back and a small hole at the bottom.
The mirror surface is very well polished, almost no worse than industrial mirrors.
It's just that there is a layer of dust piled up on the surface, and it looks like no one has cared for it for a long time.
The clerk also saw the dust, wiped the surface of the mirror with some embarrassment, and said, "This mirror is a handmade bronze mirror cast by the shopkeeper himself, if you want to buy it, count it cheaper for you, 1 silver coin." ”
"Hand-cast?"
Jiang Ge took the bronze mirror.
A line of text appeared in front of him.
"Bronze Mirror"
"A bronze mirror modeled after a certain utensil by a craftsman of great skill seems to be a good vessel......
"Identification Information ......"
Jiang Ge was slightly surprised.
Container? What do you mean?
