Chapter 190 The Begging Mirror
Faced with Wu Xindie's doubts, the old Taoist Qi Dong seemed speechless. After a long while, the old Taoist said: "I didn't expect that you brought the Devouring Fruit with you. This kind of Devouring Fruit is extremely rare. Who knew you might have hit it by mistake?"
Woolen cloth?"
Wan Xing came over and interrupted: "Brother Wu, this old man didn't mean anything, just let him go."
Wu Xindie ignored the old man. He walked around the ruined temple. It was indeed an abandoned temple. There was no smell of incense. There were cobwebs and dust everywhere. Even the tall Buddha statue had become dilapidated and mottled with time.
of wear and tear.
Wu Xindie walked out of the temple door and waved her hand: "Okay, I've checked it again, I guess there is no treasure."
As soon as he finished speaking, the monk who had collapsed on the ground suddenly got up from the ground. He brushed off the dust on his body, bowed to Wu Xindie and the others, and then clasped his hands together: "Amitabha, thank you so many donors for your help.
"
Wu Xindie was shocked. Xue Gu covered her mouth and smiled and said: "Cousin, I am an old Taoist and a monk. We have met many strange characters this time, including Buddhist disciples and Taoist cultivators. Wow,
Do these people have anything to do with the Flower Demon?"
Wu Xindie looked at the monk and explained: "I came here to beg for alms, and unexpectedly, I met a big flower demon. Now the flower demon is running rampant and killing people. Everyone gets it and kills it. Unfortunately, I don't get it."
People of the Tao cannot relieve the suffering people from disaster..."
Wu Xindie was impatient to hear this, so he waved his hand: "Okay, let's go. While it's still early, let's take a walk around and see if we can find Huanhua Valley."
At this time, the monk suddenly stepped forward and took out a worn-out bronze mirror from his arms. He handed the bronze mirror to Wu Xindie, then bowed a few times and turned around to leave. Wu Xindie shouted behind him:
"Hey! What is this?"
The monk's steps were fast and there was no trace of injury at all. Wu Xindie was puzzled.
At this time, the old donkey driver drove the donkey forward and explained: "This monk is begging for alms everywhere. He must be an ascetic. This bronze mirror is called an alms mirror, and it can only be obtained by those who are destined to have it. This is a treasure..."
Wu Xindie picked up the bronze mirror and looked at it carefully. It looked like an ordinary bronze mirror. The varnish around it had been mottled and peeled off, and the surface of the mirror was also covered with a layer of dust. Wu Xindie wiped off the dust and put it on the mirror.
I saw myself looking pretty and radiant.
At this time, the old man riding a donkey began to explain again: "This mirror looks ordinary, but it is actually a treasure. There is a magic spell attached to it by the flower demon. If you unlock the magic spell, you can enter the real Huanhua Valley through the alms mirror!"
Xue Gu shouted in surprise: "Is it true? Is this the meaning of Jinghua Yuan?"
Wu Xindie nodded and thought to himself, no wonder it is called Jing Hua Yuan, which is both a flower fairy and a magical mirror. It seems that the theme of this task is very clear and does not have any complicated meaning.
Wanxing calmly took out a jar of wine: "This is a jar of Bamboo Leaf Green that I brewed before. I give it to the old man as a thank you gift. Thank you very much for your advice just now. We are very grateful..." He handed the Bamboo Leaf Green to the old man riding a donkey.
.
The old Taoist riding the donkey was stunned for a moment, and then he showed a look of approval: "Young man, you are really sensible and you are a good brewer of wine. How about you follow the old Taoist and travel around the world from now on?"
Wan Xing shook his head, with an indifferent look on his face: "I am originally a busy person in the world of mortals. I cannot travel around, nor can I be as free and carefree as an old man, walking around the world alone!"
The old Taoist sniffed the fragrance of the green bamboo leaves: "Well, the younger generation sees things very clearly, and he is a member of my generation. Unfortunately, he is shackles and cannot do whatever he wants. Alas... In fact, the old Taoist is not free either. In a few days, he will be exorcising the devil.
General Assembly……"
Exorcism conference? Wu Xindie was secretly surprised. Could it be that the cultivators that the Taoist said before gathered together to attack the flower demon's lair?
Unfortunately, the old donkey rider did not continue talking. He held the wine jar, rode the old donkey, and staggered away. The seemingly ordinary man and donkey disappeared in front of everyone at a strange speed.
Until, the night was silent, the evening wind brought with it the sense of endless desolation in the wilderness, and the stars shone with lonely light. Everyone suddenly came back to their senses and realized that they had fallen into silence.
The old donkey rider seems to have some background, but no one can guess his identity.
Wu Xindie put the alms mirror in her bag, waved her hand, and everyone set off immediately.
"Cousin, what should we do next? Go find the Peach Blossom Fairy, or unravel the spell of the alms mirror?" Xue Gu asked.
"The Peach Blossom Fairy will attend the talent show in Huanhua Valley. We'd better break the spell first and find the location of Huanhua Valley."
Wu Xindie's idea was unanimously approved and supported. The four of them set off immediately. Soon they walked out of the wilderness of Huanhua Valley and found a lively market nearby. The place was bustling with people, people coming and going, and the streets were filled with small stalls.
Stalls and various shops are lined up in rows. Businessmen traveling from north to south gather together, shouting about their goods. Restaurants and teahouses abound on the street.
The four of Wu Xindie came to the teahouse, because the teahouse is the best place to inquire about information. The four of them sat down and ordered a pot of Biluochun and several plates of seasonal snacks. Liu Wenling sat alone behind them, looking pretty
Like two groups of people.
At this time, there was a storyteller in the lobby of the teahouse telling an ancient story about the flower fairy draft.
The four people listened for a while, and the story goes like this. There are ninety-nine and eighty-one flower fairies in heaven. These flower fairies are quite famous in heaven. They abide by etiquette and laws, perform their respective responsibilities, and get along quite harmoniously. Moreover, these flower fairies
Xiandu has an immortal card issued by the Emperor of Heaven, and its status is noble.
One day, the Emperor of Heaven suddenly announced on a whim that he would choose a flower god for the four seasons, one for spring, summer, autumn and winter.
Eighty-one flower fairies began to compete for the position of the flower god. In spring, peaches and plums competed for beauty, apricots and peonies were not to be outdone. In summer, pomegranates and crape myrtle showed their magical powers, lotus and peonies showed their splendor, and in autumn, flower fairies
, chrysanthemums lead the fashion, golden osmanthus and hibiscus follow closely behind, winter flower fairies, narcissus are aloof and unconventional, winter plums are noble and eye-catching...
As a result, a series of overt and covert battles broke out among the flower fairies. Not only the flower fairies with fairy cards, but also the unknown little flower fairies and little flower demons came to get a share of the pie. In short, no one was willing to admit defeat.
Later, people called it the Flower Fairy Draft, a draft competition appointed by the Emperor of Heaven to select the flower gods of the four seasons.
Hearing this, Wu Xindie couldn't help but complain: "Damn, it turned out that the Flower Goddess was selected. I thought it was the Emperor of Heaven who was planning to expand the harem!"
Xue Gu covered her mouth and smiled and said: "This is strange, isn't it just a talent show? The flower fairies in the heaven choose their flower gods. Why would the mortal world create such a thing as the Flower Demon? Moreover, this thing, at first glance,
They are things from hell, stained with a demonic aura, and very evil."
Xu Miaoxin praised: "Xue Gu, you have a strong ability to adapt to the environment. How can you get into the role so quickly?"
Xue Gu smiled and suddenly caught a glimpse of Liu Wenling's sarcastic eyes beside her. She hurriedly stared back not to be outdone.
Wan Xing asked curiously: "These flower fairies, in order to seize the position of the flower god, do not hesitate to come to the mortal world to do some kind of Huanhua Valley talent show? Is there some mystery in it? Is it related to the flower devil?"
The four of them all became interested in this question and discussed it for a while, but in the end they could not come up with an answer.
What happened to the Flower Demon? Wu Xindie and the four of them finished drinking tea and eating snacks, then left the teahouse and wandered around the market.
After walking a few steps, Wan Xing suddenly shouted: "I saw tracking pollen, it smells like the peach blossom fairy!"
The four of them hurriedly followed Wan Xing. Wan Xing shuttled through the crowd and bumped into pedestrians from time to time. Before those pedestrians had time to blame them, they saw the four Wu Xindie blowing across the street like a whirlwind, leaving only their blurred backs.
Liu Wenling followed panting. She killed several wild monsters in the wilderness of Huanhua Valley, which consumed her blood and anger. She has not fully recovered yet because her physical strength is not as good as that of Wu Xindie and the other four.
Liu Wenling passed through the crowd and clung to the traces of Wu Xindie and others. When she saw Wu Xindie and others walking in a hurry, she couldn't help but said angrily: "What are these bumpkins and the Peach Blossom Fairy to chase? Huanhua Valley is the best."
The key clue! Huh! How ignorant!”
After thinking about it, Liu Wenling did not dare to relax and followed Wu Xindie closely. Wu Xindie and the four finally stopped.
They saw a black shadow floating in the air in the narrow alley. The black shadow was exuding a strong poisonous gas. The poisonous gas formed a poisonous miasma. Wu Xindie and the four of them did not dare to move forward at will. Xue Gu took out the peach blossom bell, and the bell
Once it clicked, it made a crisp sound and the poisonous gas retreated automatically.
The two parties faced each other and maintained a certain silence. After a while, Xue Gu couldn't help but wonder: "Are you the Peach Blossom Fairy?"
The black shadow did not speak and was still suspended in the air. Xue Gu continued to ask: "Why did you lie to us? What did you say that you were being chased by the Flower Demon? I think you colluded with the Flower Demon. Are you doing it to get the position of the Flower God?"
"
The black figure let out a strange laugh and did not answer Xue Gu's question. The poisonous gas flowing all over his body was slowly flowing and looked quite strange. Wu Xindie was impatient and took out the dragon tongue bow, intending to kill this mysterious person with one arrow.
Dark shadow.
The Dragon's Tongue Bow let out a burst of dragon roar, and the power of the ancient artifact shook the black shadow back. The black shadow suddenly raised its head and roared, a stream of poisonous gas spurted out, and the power of the Dragon's Tongue Bow immediately disappeared.
Wu Xindie was shocked. This was his best equipment. How could it be no match for a little flower fairy?
Wu Xindie was wondering when Wan Xing suddenly said: "Brother Wu, don't move, there is someone in the alley."
Sure enough, there was a sound of footsteps, and everyone followed the sound and saw an old man walking from the depths of the alley carrying a pole. On both ends of the pole, he carried a bamboo basket woven with strips. The bamboo basket was filled with platycodon flowers and leaves.
.
Wanxing's eyes lit up when he saw those platycodons: "These are the best platycodons."
Wu Xindie knew at a glance that these platycodons were Master Wan's favorite medicinal materials. The old man was probably a farmer selling medicinal herbs.
The old man walked closer and closer. He seemed a little tired. He stopped to take a breath from time to time. Wu Xindie and the other two watched him quietly. At this time, something unexpected happened, and the black shadow suddenly flew past at an extremely fast speed.
The black shadow turned into a strong wind and passed through the old man's body.
The old man carrying the herbs suddenly fell to the ground, his eyes wide open for a moment. The old man's face still had a bitter look of fatigue, and his fingers were still on his forehead, as if he wanted to continue wiping sweat.
Wu Xindie was stunned. He died like that? Killing without blood!
A look of anger appeared on Wan Xing's face: "This person must be the flower demon, damn it! Let's get rid of this demon quickly!"
Wu Xindie hurriedly stopped Wan Xing: "We are no match for it now. Don't be impulsive. It will cause bad things."
Wan Xing looked at Wu Xindie angrily, but Wu Xindie refused to give in. At this time, the black figure gave out a weird smile and disappeared deep into the alley like a gust of wind. Wan Xing was stopped by Wu Xindie and was discouraged.
He lowered his head.
"Okay, don't be a hero! That flower demon is not even afraid of my dragon's tongue bow, how do you still expect to kill it?" Wu Xindie persuaded her earnestly: "Wait until we untie the spell of the alms mirror, go
Huanhua Valley found out the truth. These flower demons are opposed to the flower fairy. Maybe we can kill these flower demons with the help of the flower fairy..."
"What my cousin said makes sense." Xue Gu agreed with Wu Xindie's idea.
