Ember had a bold guess, as long as he found the twelve bronze mirrors, perhaps, there was a direct relationship with the whereabouts of the dark mirrors.
Mirrors, since ancient times, have been the medium of reflecting the truth, they can reflect our appearance, but also reflect our hearts, and when these twelve bronze mirrors, brought together, may be able to reveal the secret of the mirror.
But according to the previous intelligence, the dark lamp, the dark ring, and the dark mirror, the three complement each other and are indispensable, and the dark mirror can renew the life of the dark lamp, and if you want to find the dark mirror, you must activate the dark ring.
And the combination of the 'three major sacrificial vessels' can naturally calm the balance of the yin and yang worlds.
The 'three sacrificial vessels', the three kinds of artifacts that are very important in traditional culture, are jade, bronze and pottery, and these three sacrificial vessels have different symbolic meanings and functions.
And the Ring of Darkness, the Lamp of Darkness, and the Mirror of Darkness really represent the existence of the three kinds of sacrificial vessels.
The Ring of Darkness, as a jade, has always been regarded as a sacred object, because the texture of jade is hard and the color is warm, and it is believed to have the effect of warding off evil spirits, calming the house, and keeping peace.
The dark lamp, as a bronze vessel, is an important utensil used in the sacrifice, because the bronze ware can reflect the sunlight and has the effect of driving away evil spirits, and at the same time, the bronze ware can also hold food and wine, which is a necessary item in the sacrifice.
The mirror is the most common type of pottery, because pottery can hold food and water, which is an indispensable item in people's daily life, and in rituals, pottery is also used as a vessel for food and wine.
When these three sacrificial vessels are combined, their effects will be enhanced and integrated, which can calm the balance of the Yin and Yang realms, and with the power of the three major sacrificial vessels, they can protect the safety of the living and the dead, and maintain the stability and balance of the Yin and Yang realms.
But the problem at the moment is that there is only one way to activate the Ring of Darkness, and that is to need the blood of the body to sew up the corpse in order to awaken the sleeping Ring in the true sense.
Sewing corpses, this is the existence of the world's dubbed 'evil demon outer way', it is their special bloodline, as well as superb skills, that allow the door to manipulate the corpse and let the dead walk again, however, their flesh blood has a very special purpose, that is the only way to awaken the sleeping Immortal Ring.
This point must be clear to everyone, and now that the body is sacrificing the nest, it is seized by the spirit woman, and how can it be easily redeemed.
The whereabouts of the twelve bronze mirrors may be able to solve the problems for the embers, because the embers remember hearing the master mention that the twelve bronze mirrors, although not as good as the mirror of the underworld, but with the technique of sewing the corpse, it seems that the soul without a body can gather qi, thus forming a special force, and this power can also awaken the underworld.
However, the crux of the matter at hand is, how can we find these twelve bronze mirrors as soon as possible?
Ember frowned, the whereabouts of the twelve bronze mirrors seemed to be a tricky question, however, he didn't know that these bronze mirrors had already been secretly collected by his master, in order to allow Ember to awaken the Immortal Ring if necessary, in order to fight against those forces that threatened to sew the corpse.
Under the cover of night, Ember returned to a secret place in the crescent bone.
He slipped into his master's room, hoping to find some clues about the twelve bronze mirrors, and while rummaging, he unexpectedly found a hidden compartment with an old notebook hidden.
On the cover of the note, "The Secret of the Bronze Mirror" was written with an ink pen, and Yu Huo opened the note with excitement and nervousness, and the note recorded many secrets of the sewing of corpses, including the secrets of the twelve bronze mirrors.
It turns out that these twelve bronze mirrors are the treasures left by the ancestor who sewed the corpse, and they were specially left by the ancestor when he founded the corpse sewing line, and the hiding place of these bronze mirrors has an inseparable relationship with the 'Twelve Heavenly Net'.
Because the twelve bronze mirrors correspond to the twelve Jiazi, the back of the bronze mirror depicts the twelve zodiac signs, and each bronze mirror represents a protector, and as long as you find the corresponding person, you can find the right copper mirror.
The twelve protectors of the Dharma, respectively, forget worries, no trace, secluded pass, resist the wind, trace clouds, Qi Tian, make flowers, Lu Yin, Chang Fei, dark river, Mo Wen, Xue Yin, and the twelve of them guarded the whereabouts of the bronze mirrors, but judging from the expressions of these dead soldiers, they did not know the whereabouts of these bronze mirrors.
This made Yu Huo puzzled, could it be that something went wrong in this?
Ember continued to look through the notes left by the master, which mentioned the 'Twelve Earth Shadows'.
In the notes, in the description of Jingshui Tower, the 'Twelve Shadows' is a profound and mysterious existence, like a fable, and like an unfinished poem.
"The twelve shadows of the earth, hidden behind the light, in the shadows. They are the embodiment of the elements, the embodiment of the forces of nature, and the remnants of the wisdom of the ancients. They have incredible power, guarding the secrets of the earth, maintaining the balance of nature, the twelve shadows of the earth, each with its own characteristics, each with its own form, like the twelve moons in the night, each with its own brilliance, each with its own story. ”
The words in the notes made Yu Huo fall into deep thought, he tried to understand the meaning behind these words, tried to grasp the message that the master wanted to convey, he knew, what the 'Twelve Earth Shadows' referred to as people, or something else?
"The cold shadow of January, such as the coldness of winter snow, the spring breeze of February, such as the new birth of spring buds, the stone shadow of March, such as the tranquility of spring stones, the shadow of rain in April, the delicate of spring rain, the shadow of fire in May, the warmth of summer fire, the shadow of clouds in June, such as the change of summer clouds, the shadow of the lake in July, the tranquility of the summer lake, the shadow of the vine in August, such as the lingering of the autumn vine, the shadow of the wind in September, the wild bloom of the autumn wind, the shadow of the water in October, the depth of the autumn water, the shadow of the night in November, such as the depth of the winter night, the shadow of the bone in December, such as the tenacity of the winter bone."
Each kind of earth shadow represents an element, a power, an emotion, and the embers feel it with his heart, understand it with his heart, and he seems to be able to feel the existence of each kind of earth shadow, they are like a part of nature, extremely real, extremely vivid.
However, the master's notes do not reveal how to find and control these shadows.
Ember pondered and made a bold guess, will it echo the 'Twelve Skynet'? The sky net is in the light, and the earth shadow is in the dark, also guarding the incense that sews the corpse?
Yu Huo's slightly frowning brow gradually stretched, and this thought floated in his heart.
He pondered possible connections, from historical records to ancient legends, all possible clues were in his reasoning.
He was immersed in his own thoughts, as if he could see the huge sky net and the mysterious earth shadow, like guardians, silently guarding this world, their existence is like two sharp swords under the sky, one bright and one dark, one yang and one yin, jointly maintaining the balance of sewing corpses and one vein.
Ember's fingers unconsciously tapped on the tabletop, which was his habitual action when thinking, and the image in his mind gradually became clearer, as if he could feel the shadow of the earth hiding in the shadows, and a mysterious force was quietly waking up.
It was his guess and his hunch.
And it is these shadows hiding in the shadows that hide the whereabouts of the bronze mirror, and they will definitely not appear easily unless they have to.
How can I get the Shadow to appear? Perhaps, only Lu Chengfeng knows that he is the patriarch of the crescent bone.
Lu Chengfeng, the name that has a special identity and status in the crescent moon bone, seems to have some connection with this mysterious earth shadow, however, the story about Lu Chengfeng's past and background, like the earth shadow, is hidden in a fog and is elusive.
The crescent bone, the secret base of the sewing corpse, takes the protection of an ancient power as its mission, and this power is said to be closely related to the existence of the earth shadow, Lu Chengfeng, as the patriarch of the crescent bone, naturally has a unique ability and responsibility, and his wisdom and experience give him a unique insight on the issue of the earth shadow.
However, the Shadow is not an ordinary existence, and its appearance is often accompanied by strange phenomena and unknown dangers.
In the Crescent Skull, there are those who believe that the Shadow is the source of the ancient power they have been guarding, while others believe that the Shadow is a threat that needs to be eliminated once and for all.
Lu Chengfeng is at the center of this contradiction, and his decision will determine the future of the crescent bone, and may even affect the fate of the entire sewing corpse.
However, the dilemma he faces is not simply black and white, but full of complexities and contradictions.
But when Ember took the initiative to mention the Earth Shadow, Lu Chengfeng's eyes were a little confused, after all, about the secret of the Earth Shadow, he originally wanted to keep it hidden.
But Lu Chengfeng knew that Yu Huo, as the master of the door, shouldered the burden of recovering the corpse, and he could never avoid the existence of the earth shadow, and the long pain was better than the short pain, so it was better to tell the truth about the ember fire as soon as possible.
"The door master, the earth shadow, they are actually not people, but the ancestor of the corpse sewing vein, through a forbidden technique, resurrect the dead, so that they can obey the orders of the sewing corpse vein, serve the sewing corpse vein, especially do some shady things for the sewing corpse vein......"
Lu Chengfeng paused, his expression was a little serious, and then said, "As for the earth shadow...... The appearance and disappearance of the earth shadow is related to the moon's fullness, when the moon is full, the power of the earth shadow is the strongest, and it will naturally come out of the ground, and when the moon is short, the power of the earth shadow is the weakest, and it will return to the ground. ”
Lu Chengfeng is statement, which made Yu Huo listen to it, dumbfounded and unbelievable.
"Uncle Shi, do you mean that only on the day of the full moon, through some forbidden techniques of sewing corpses, can they be summoned?"
"You can understand it that way."
