Chapter 101 The Man in the Mirror (Second update at 8 a.m.)

Li Wuxiang's expression changed. Seeing him like this, Cheng Peixin and Cheng Shengfei were stunned for a moment before they realized what was happening. They straightened their bodies and looked at Ning Xu together.

"What happens again? Tell me carefully, when was the first time?"

"Ah, I picked it up and took it home that day. I wanted to give it to my wife. My wife's birthday is coming soon. I, I wanted to..."

Cheng Peixin said: "Don't talk about these things, just talk about the important things!"

"Yes, I hid it for just two days. I hid it in the cupboard. My wife went back to her parents' house because she wanted to... uh, I mean, what's important is that I kept dreaming in those two nights. I seemed to hear people talking and making noise. The day before yesterday, I suddenly thought of this mirror and thought to myself, others said that mirrors attract evil spirits, and something didn’t feel right in my heart. I took it out to look at it again that night——"

"I looked at it and didn't realize anything was wrong. I was tired that day, so I fell asleep after looking at it. But in the middle of the night, I heard someone making noise in my dream again, which woke me up. When I woke up, Yes, I actually heard someone talking, this is it——"

Ning Xu pointed quickly, as if he was afraid that the mirror would bite him: "Someone is talking here! He said that he used to be a swordsman named Guo Jianming. He was caught and locked up here. He asked me to find someone to save him. I listened to him. He didn’t speak evilly, so I asked him if he was a human or a ghost, and he said he was a human.”

He remained silent and looked at Li Wuxiang longingly.

Li Wuxiang frowned: "What then?"

"It's gone, and then gradually there is no movement. When it gets quieter, I can't hear clearly."

"Did he tell you who to find to rescue him?"

Ning Xu grimaced, blinked, looked at Li Wuxiang, and then at Cheng Peixin: "Huh? Who are you looking for?"

Cheng Peixin asked in a low voice: "Is he the one you asked to come to us?"

Li Wuxiang shook his head and looked in the mirror again: "I didn't ask his name."

Cheng Peixin looked at Ning Xu and said, "This mirror of yours is really going to ward off evil spirits, so just stay here for now. Zong Li and I will take our time to check it out. You can go back first."

"Ah...Okay." Ning Xu responded and moved his feet, but only looked at the mirror and did not move away.

Cheng Peixin frowned: "Go to the backyard and ask Mrs. Zhang for some money. How much do you think this thing is worth? Ask her to give you how much."

He quickly thanked her and walked out.

As soon as he left, Cheng Peixin immediately said: "Fei'er, follow him and go to his residence to ask the neighbors if there is such a person."

Cheng Shengfei stood up immediately: "Yes!"

There were only two people sitting in the atrium. Cheng Peixin looked at the mirror and whispered: "Fellow Taoist, you don't have to feel sad. Since he said he is a human being and not a ghost, he may still be alive. Besides, he may not be the one who helps you with things. The surname is Guo in Deyang City." There are also many monks.”

Li Wuxiang was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but smile in his heart. It must be because of the "Swordsman" filter... Cheng Peixin seems to have a bit of a misunderstanding about her own personality.

Even if it is really Lao Guo, there is no mention of sadness. Based on what he has seen and felt these days, Lao Guo may not have had a few undeserved lives on his hands as he traveled around the world. If he is really dead, he can be regarded as having a constant life.

But if he is not dead and is really trapped in this mirror, since he promised to teach him how to be a swordsman, he must be saved.

At this time, I heard Cheng Peixin say again: "But that person is on the right track. The word Tianxin in our Tianxin sect actually comes from the treasure of our sect with a dharma seal, 'Zhiyue Xuanguang', which is really trapped in the mirror. Well, it should be something like mirror shadowing. Among the thirty-six sects, no one is better at it than the disciples of Tianxin. Can you let me take a look?"

"Thank you." Li Wuxiang handed it over.

Cheng Peixin took the bronze mirror, looked at it carefully, touched it, and then smelled it: "Last year, a batch of bronze mirrors came to the Liu family's powder shop. All the things in her family are made in their own workshop. You can’t buy it anywhere else. This thing should be from Deyang City.”

Then he raised two fingers together, drew a few circles on the mirror, and closed his eyes slightly: "Spells such as mirror shadow are the most difficult to check, but they are also very common. Many spirits transform into mansions, and most of them are this kind of spells - -" She opened her eyes again and The bronze mirror was handed back to Li Wuxiang: "It's true that nothing can be detected. Taoist friend, do you think it is General Bai? This is also possible. Spirits are good at using this kind of magic. Mirrors and other things are also good places to store negative things. ”

"Usually, Yin souls are cultivated and Yin soldiers are slowly developed. But for those who are more vicious and have higher moral standards, they take in living people. Living people have innate energy and blood, and Yin soldiers are made from these things. It's more powerful. If it's this kind..." Cheng Peixin sighed, "The ghost is very light, and the living person is very heavy, so it is difficult to save."

Li Wuxiang nodded: "But do you have a way?"

"It's very troublesome and not worth it. But don't worry, fellow Taoist, wait until Fei'er comes back."

It was almost midnight when Cheng Shengfei came back. He said that he followed Ning Xu back to his house and saw that the furnishings looked like those of ordinary people. He also asked the watchman who patrolled the streets and said that five generations of his family had lived in Deyang City and he was indeed a mason.

So the three of them waited around the bronze mirror in the atrium, while Mrs. Zhang made some midnight snacks in the kitchen. But before the first cup of tea was served, the voice in the mirror appeared.

From light to heavy, it is like a person emerging from deep water while gasping and talking: "...Life, help...Is there anyone, help, help me..."

The voice sounded extremely miserable, as if it was some evil spirit causing trouble at night. No wonder Ning Xu said it was haunted.

But it is indeed the voice of swordsman Lao Guo!

Li Wuxiang immediately moved slightly closer: "Lao Guo?"

The sound in the mirror suddenly disappeared, and after a long while, he suddenly said loudly: "Sect Master? Sect Master? Are you the Sect Master?"

"It's me. How did you get in here?"

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

Guo Jianming's voice sounded filled with tears: "I, I, I, I reported the letter to you, sect leader, that day, so I thought about finding more people to help, so I ran to a few more places, but later I heard that you, sect leader, had That Immortal Xu was killed——"

Li Wuxiang raised his eyebrows. He should have found a place to hide and wait and see the situation after delivering the letter. Loose cultivators in the world dare to risk their lives to fight for their future, but they must also be careful. If he didn't do this, he would feel a bit stupid.

"——I will come back to you quickly. I asked someone that you were in Feiyunguan, and I was wondering how you got there. That woman in Feiyunguan, huh, it's really——"

"Well, you and I are both at Feiyun Temple at the moment."

"...Ah...Huh, it's really a pleasure to do things. I only asked for a few words and then came to help. I thought that it was great for you to come to Feiyun Temple, sect master. You are a good person and a good place. So I hurried to Feiyun. I looked around, but when I saw the back door, I was suddenly caught..."

"Who caught you?"

"I didn't see clearly... He was all in white, with white clothes and white hair. I thought he was some kind of master. As soon as he raised his hand, I fainted. When I woke up, I was here. Sect Master, help me out. I I can’t stand it anymore, I really can’t stand it anymore..."

The three of them looked at each other, and Cheng Peixin frowned: "General Bai? This is the first time I've heard of that weird look."

Li Wuxiang looked in the mirror: "What does it look like in there?"

"It's dark, Sect Master. I can't even reach the end. I can't see anything. It's fishy and smelly. Ghosts cry... wolves..."

His voice gradually weakened again as it did at the beginning, as if it was moving away from the mirror. Li Wuxiang immediately asked: "Lao Guo, what did I say to you when we were on Ran Mountain?"

"...ask me...to be a swordsman,...teach me how to make a sword..."

The voice of these last two sentences was extremely subtle, but Guo Jianming seemed to have shouted it, but the voice drifted away and could no longer be heard.

Li Wuxiang looked up at Cheng Peixin.

Cheng Peixin sighed and shook her head: "It's hopeless to save you, fellow Taoist. I originally thought it was just an ordinary mirror, but since it turned out to be what he said, I'm afraid... this mirror has been turned into a magic weapon." What's in this mirror... is really evil. In this mirror, the Yin soldiers are being refined through the Lingshan Mountain."
