Chapter 37: The World in the Mirror
"There is a technique called "Shadow Clothing" in the memories of the Shadow Spirit, which uses shadows to wrap the whole body to achieve the effect of stealth.
This doesn't do much for a ghostly creation that is itself a shadow, but it should come in handy for me. ”
"And my shadow can melt into the darkness of the silent forest...... Does that mean that by wearing the cloak of shadows, I can somehow blend into the environment of the silent deep forest? ”
Jiang Ge studied the connection between the shadow and the silent deep forest as he walked.
At the same time, try the technique of using the "Shadow Clothes".
Shadows flow like darkness.
Like a gauze garment, it gently covers the surface of the body.
Separated him from the dull darkness of the silent forest outside.
At this moment, Jiang Ge felt that the suppression of him by the Silent Deep Forest had really decreased a lot.
The whole life has a feeling of being in the middle of the forest.
And......
"I'm in the woods, I seem to be able to run faster?"
Jiang Ge raised his eyebrows slightly.
…………
Silent deep in the woods.
An illusory figure was walking in the moonlight, which was invisible to others.
"The Invisible Technique, the Moonlight Trail...... It took half a year to finally learn! ”
The figure rejoiced, "If I don't learn it, I'll think that the book of Yongyue poems that the merchant sold me is fake." ”
"However, the poetry collection says that if I can learn this invisible technique within a year, I am already very talented, and I learned it in half a year, doesn't it mean that I am a genius? Hahahaha......"
The figure let out a smug laugh, then looked into the depths of the silent forest and muttered to himself.
The book of poems says that in the silent deep forest, there are ancient wells called the Well of the Reflecting Moon, which are connected to the residence of the mirror moon, and the moon shadow in the well is the reflection of the mirror moon......
Reciting a poem in praise of the moon to him may be given a touch of moonlight if he is recognized by the moon.
It was an excellent material for cultivating the Invisible Arts, and a source of artistic inspiration......
It just so happened that I had to write a few poems recently, and I happened to recite them to Jingyue.
With my attainments in art and poetry, I will definitely be recognized by Jingyue! You can also get a few more touches of moonshine! ”
The figure didn't know what to think, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl.
"But where is this well of the moon?"
According to the poetry book, the Moonlight Trail, as long as it is used in a place that can be illuminated by the moonlight, can greatly enhance the user's adaptability to the terrain, and is an excellent means of exploring the silent deep forest.
If you can get the grace of the mirror moon, the moonlight will show the way for the user. ”
The figure looked at the moonlight, which only illuminated the diameter of half a meter under his feet, and prayed sincerely, "Moon, please show the way for your devout disciples......
The faint moonlight converged into a tiny pointer-like arrow.
"It's really magical, praise the mirror moon!" The figure said happily, then looked at the arrow and nodded, "So that's the direction." ”
Then stride forward.
I only feel that the wind is under my feet, like walking on the ground, and I can't be faster.
"It's too fast! I'm so fast! ”
The figure was admiring.
Suddenly.
A black shadow swooped past him, leaving him far behind.
Scared him aback.
"! What the hell?! It's faster than me! ”
The figure hesitated to look at the black shadow that had disappeared in an instant.
"Looks like a dark man......? Wait a minute! Why is the thing under the man's feet a little familiar? ”
…………
Dressed in the clothes of shadows, Jiang Ge, who was moving forward quickly, was puzzled.
"I just seem to have left something behind?"
"Forget it, it's important to collect the Moon Shadow first, it's a little late to enter the illusion world today, and I don't know if it's too late."
These few times he collected the Moon Shadow, Jiang Ge found that the time it took to go to the Well of the Moon Reflecting would change slightly.
Excluding the "Moonlight Trail", it also has the attributes of a black-hearted taxi driver and takes him on a detour.
Or maybe the location of the Well of the Moon is changing.
Then the rest may be the well of the moon that he went to, and it may not be the same one.
And he is more inclined to the last guess.
The Well of the Moon Reflecting that he had seen in the past few days was indeed a little different.
"Is there more than one well of the moon?"
Jiang Ge touched his chin, a little puzzled, "But even if there is more than one bite, I just want to collect the moon shadow, why don't you choose the moonlight path that was relatively close to the moon-reflecting wells before, and go far away?" ”
Before Jiang Ge could figure it out.
Suddenly the moonlight was scattered ahead.
The clearing where the Well of the Moon Reflecting is located has arrived.
Ancient wells, moss-mottled.
"I don't know how fast this black moss grows.
And there is the interference of the Kuroshio, so I can't tell if this is the well of the moon that I saw the day before yesterday by the location where I collected the black moss before......"
Jiang Ge thought about it and simply took out the medicine hoe.
First shaved his head in the well of the moon.
Removed all the black moss that had grown on it.
After an operation, the bamboo tube with the thickness of the adult's calf of the herb picker was almost unfitting.
Jiang Ge weighed the weight.
"Well, ten pounds, not enough...... Two more magnets should suffice. ”
Put away the bamboo tube.
Jiang Ge looked at the moon shadow in the well and was about to take out the bronze mirror.
But lightly.
"After experiencing the ritual of mutated shadow binding, my shadow has the attributes of a reflection in the mirror, and has been recognized by the mirror moon and has become a resident of the mirror world......
And the Well of the Moon is connected to the Mirror Country of the Moon, and it is the door to the world in the mirror......"
"So if my shadow jumps into the well, can I cross the well of the moon and enter the world of the mirror?"
Jiang Ge looked down at the moonlight lingering around him.
Look at your face reflected in the well, rippling with the water.
The moon in the well shook slightly.
"Seems to be ......"
In a trance, he heard a call from the world in the mirror.
in the well.
His reflection stretched, stretching his waist, his face a little languid.
Turn around and walk into the well.
Go to the world of mirrors.
…………
The mirror is full of water, upside down and blurry.
In a trance, Jiang Ge's consciousness was reflected.
Come to the world of mirrors.
A world where the real and the unreal are entangled.
Everything around is like a fog of flowers.
I can't see anything really.
In the distance, a broken moon hung high with a seductive flush.
It seems that the controlled body is a shadow, or the consciousness is too far away.
Jiang Ge was in a trance, unable to think too much, and could only act on instinct.
"Let's go in the direction of the moon." He thought.
I don't know how long I walked.
He saw an illusory figure appear in front of him.
A woman with a white light veil on her body and a bamboo basket in her hand.
She seemed a little surprised to see Jiang Ge.
Introducing himself, he said that he was the attendant of the mirror moon, and the inhabitants who settled in the world of the mirror.
and asked Jiang Ge about his intentions.
Jiang Ge's consciousness was a little vague, and he subconsciously replied.
"I have come for the guidance of the month."
And a brief account of the crisis he is currently facing.
"The moon is drunk, resting in His palace, and has not yet woken up, so you cannot see it."
She replied regretfully, and then said with a smile:
"However, before I became the attendant of the moon, I also knew some subtle techniques about "fighting", "seduction" and "murder......
I can teach you ...... if you need it."
