Text Chapter 3: The old man gives the treasure
Yu Ne fought with the evil ghost for a long time, and he was indeed a little tired, which meant that after the prince left, he didn't want to meditate, so he fell asleep directly.
This sleep lasted until the third pole of the sun.
Yu Nie woke up, opened the door, the warm sun shone in, not far from the door there was a small maid and a maid standing, the little guy saw Yu Nie come out, so he said: "Master morning," and hurried away. Instead, another maid came over and said to Yu Ni, "Hello mage. β
This maid was quite delicate, with watery eyes, and she looked at this Yu Ni curiously, after all, the person in front of her was a person who could fight with evil spirits for three hundred rounds.
Yu Ne was inexplicably surprised by her, and asked the maid, "Do I have anything dirty on my face?"
The maid laughed when she heard this, but did not answer, but went to prepare toiletries for Yune.
After Yu Ni finished washing, he saw Yu Taigong walking slowly, followed by the little guy who had left earlier.
Yu Taigong came to the front and said, "Master, are you still sleeping comfortably?"
Yu Ne said embarrassedly: "I slept quite soundly last night, so I accidentally slept over." β
Yu Taigong said: "It's nothing, the mage fought with that evil ghost last night, and it's okay to sleep for a while when he's tired." β
Yu Ne nodded yes.
Yu Taigong said: "It's not early, the mage is probably hungry, and the little old man specially prepared some wine and food for the mage to use." β
"Well, thank you, sir. β
Yu Taigong led Yu Nie to the living room, and then taught Zhan to wipe the tables and chairs and arrange the meals. Yu Ni looked and saw that except for a few local dishes with meat, the rest were nourishing things, that is, the porcelain bowl in front of him, which also contained ginseng and deer antler chicken soup.
Yu Taigong Xu saw the doubt in Yu Nie's eyes, and said: "Although Xiao Lao'er is not an immortal figure like a mage, but after all, there have been immortals in the ancestors, and he knows that subduing demons and eliminating demons like a mage will inevitably consume cultivation, so he specially ordered someone to cook some nourishing things to help the mage replenish his vitality." β
When Yu Nie heard this, she smiled in her heart, but she also understood Yu Taigong's kindness, and she was indeed hungry in her belly, so she was not welcome at the moment, and she feasted on it. Not to mention, ginseng is a long-term old ginseng, and the mushroom is tender, and I am very satisfied with this meal.
Yu Taigong accompanied the meal, and when the meal was about to be late, he clapped his hands, and a cloth cloth boy walked into the left and right sides of the hall, and the two of them carried a tray to Yu Ni.
Yu Ne saw that the tray was covered with an embroidered red brocade, and the bottom of the brocade was bulging, and he didn't know what to put there. Yu Taigong said: "It is not easy for the mage to get rid of demons, the little old man discussed it with the villagers this morning, and specially prepared some gifts to express his heart." β
Yu Nie was just about to speak, but Yu Taigong said again: "Mage, don't be busy refusing first, let's see." With a wave of his hand, the two little men holding the tray lifted the brocade shrouded in the tray, revealing what was below: on the left was seven gold ingots, and on the right was about one or eight taels of wild ginseng.
"Mage, what do you think?"
Yu Ni wiped his mouth and frowned: "Uncle, I already said yesterday that it is the duty of my generation of monks to subdue demons and eliminate demons, and I don't need to be paid. If you have to talk about the reward, I will stay overnight and you invite me to eat two more meals, and it will be settled, and I will no longer need these rewards. β
Hearing this, Yu Taigong turned his head and glanced at Yu Er behind him, then nodded slightly, Yu Er also nodded, indicating that he understood, and walked quickly into the distance out of the hall.
Waiting until Yu Er left, Yu Taigong said: "Don't misunderstand, Master, I have been here in Jiazhuang for hundreds of years, the neighbors are harmonious, if someone passes by here, we will also entertain well, so as to fulfill the friendship of the landlord. β
"Despite this, my husband said, I still won't accept these things, the family teacher once said, everything depends on fate, you meet me is fate, and I help you too. β
"Okay, even so, Xiao Lao'er doesn't force the mage to accept these things, but there is one thing that I think the master may be interested in. β
Yu Taigong said.
At this time, Yu Er ran in from outside, holding an oval object in his hand, and he handed it to Yu Taigong, and Yu Nie saw that it was a mirror.
Yu Taigong rubbed the mirror in his hand, a trace of reluctance flashed in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared without a trace, and he said, "Can the mage recognize this thing?"
Yu Ne nodded and said, "It's the mirror from last night,"
Yu Taigong said: "The name of this mirror 'Xuanguang' is something handed down by the immortal of my ancestor. β
Yu Nie said: "Well, this mirror is quite magical. By this time, he had a faint suspicion in his heart.
Yu Taigong said, "How about I give this Xuanguang Mirror to the mage?"
When Yu Ne heard this, she was on pins and needles, and hurriedly said, "How can this be!"
Yu Taigong said slowly: "Don't worry, mage, listen to the little old man one by one:"
It turned out that this mirror was handed down by the immortal on the ancestor of the old man, and there were several other treasures passed down with this mirror at that time, and the immortal was going to leave these few pieces to his descendants as a talisman, but who knew that after he left, his descendants have not been able to produce another one who can cultivate immortals. Later, I don't know why the matter spread, and other monks came here to steal a few treasures, either by trickery or by coercion. Only this mirror, even those monks did not find any magic, only as an ordinary mirror to give up, and later the people of Yujiazhuang did not find any special features of this mirror, only found the word "Xuanguang" from the back of the mirror, so they called it "Xuanguang Mirror". The people of Yujiazhuang regarded it as an ordinary mirror, and put it in the ancestral hall for the purpose of paying homage to the ancestors.
On the day of the full moon three years ago, this mirror suddenly radiated a long pillar of light, soaring into the sky, visible for miles around the village, attracting evil spirits not far away. Yujiazhuang was laid down by the immortal array, can gather aura, and the descendants who live in it can prolong their lives, perhaps the immortal has foresight, although this formation can gather aura, but the effect on the monks is minimal, it is because those monks took away those treasures, and did not forcibly occupy this place, and the descendants of Yujiazhuang did not move away from this place, also because of this reason.
In addition to gathering aura, this magic circle can also absorb a certain amount of sun essence during the day, so ordinary imps don't dare to come over at all. That night, the pillar of light rushed into the sky, and the evil ghosts that attracted him relied on the profundity of the Tao, and rushed in, and he came in with a yellow-skinned spirit, and these two monsters wanted to grab the mirror, so they fought, and as a result, the yellow-skinned essence was not enough to practice, and he couldn't fight the evil ghosts, and he didn't even run away. Although the evil ghost killed the yellow skin essence, but also suffered a little injury, and when he walked to the mirror, he was inadvertently illuminated by the light pillar emitted by the mirror, and he was sucked at once, if he was in his heyday, he may not be able to get rid of the suction, but he had just fought with the yellow skin spirit, and he was careless for a while, and was finally sucked into the mirror.
The two monsters fought the method, and the people in Yujiazhuang had no choice, and they waited until dawn before they dared to go to the ancestral shrine to see the situation. After careful observation, it was found that the ancestral hall had been in disrepair for a long time, and a hole in the roof was broken, and according to speculation, it was the moonlight that shone through the hole and hit the mirror, and the mirror reflected the light back the original way, so it formed the pillar of light at night.
Yu Taigong understood the situation at that time, so he asked someone to fill the hole in the roof to prevent the moonlight from shining in again. As a result, at night, the mirror shone as usual, and the house was brightly lit, but fortunately, the doors and windows were closed, and the light could not shine out, and it did not attract other monsters.
However, after a long time, the light of the mirror gradually weakened, and the evil ghosts sealed inside gradually broke free, and the ghost cries from the ancestral shrine could be heard for several days and nights. Yu Taigong was worried that the evil ghost would retaliate when he came out, so he thought about it and finally reluctantly came up with a solution: the mirror did not leave the ancestral shrine, he asked people to dig a small hole in the roof of the ancestral shrine, and asked people to change the angle of the mirror, not only to ensure that the moonlight could shine on the mirror, but also to make the light reflected by the mirror hit the door, and would not rise to the sky again, so that the ghost cry was finally gone.
But as I said earlier, the evil ghost was injured before being sucked in, although he could not get the yin qi to heal in the mirror, but after a long time, the injury was also healed, although the cultivation fell a little, but he was able to slowly get rid of the seal of the mirror, he would forcibly break the seal every once in a while, absorbing the Yuehua practice, at first there were two people who went to the ancestral shrine to burn incense at night, and they happened to meet the evil ghost who came out and was sucked into a human dry, which made people panic for a while. Although because of the existence of the Xuanguang Mirror, the evil ghost could only rush out in one breath for a while and then be sucked in again, but as the demon's cultivation gradually recovered, the Xuanguang Mirror slowly couldn't seal him.
Yu Taigong couldn't do it, so he sent people around to look for a mage to get rid of ghosts, but what he found was either a swaggering liar, or not enough mana, these people were not able to get rid of ghosts, but were eliminated by ghosts, and it was not until yesterday that Yu Ni met Yu Nie to solve the big trouble in Yujiazhuang.
Yu Taigong said: "This Xuanguang mirror has not had a vision for hundreds of thousands of years since it has been handed down, and now there is a vision suddenly, even if there are no other monks to ask for it, it will attract some demons and monsters, and nine times out of ten it will not be able to keep it, so it is better to give it to the mage." β
Yu Nie said: "Uncle, this is the heirloom of your ancestors, and you must not ask for it below." β
Yu Taigong said: "The mage doesn't know, this decision was made by me and all the villagers, and it is by no means a moment of confusion. First, we are all ordinary people, and if there is such a heavy treasure in the village, it will lead to unprovoked disasters, and secondly, this mirror is placed here in my door, but the pearl is covered with dust, if it is in the hands of the mage, but it can be used to the fullest, and there is no need to worry about falling into the hands of bad people, it is also a good thing. β
Yu Nee pondered for a while, and then said, "It's justβ"
At this time, Yu Er, who was behind Yu Taigong, couldn't help but say: "Master, if you give it to you, you will take it, this is what we are willing, what are you just doing!"
Yu Taigong turned around and looked at Yu Er, Yu Er trembled, and hurriedly closed his mouth, Yu Taigong turned his head, and said: "Old man, I know more or less some people like the mage, if you want to practice, the wealth of the law is indispensable, the mage saved the people of our village, and this mere mirror that we don't use is not enough to express our gratitude, and the mage also said the word fate, you help us as the fate, we send you a mirror, it is a share." β
Yu Nie really couldn't, so he had to accept: "In this case, thank you for your kindness." β
