Chapter 130: The thief who steals the mirror, wait to die
The ugly hour was approaching and it was still dark, but there were already many people waiting outside Qixia Gate in Chang'an City.
During the Takeru period, the keys to the city gates were not kept by the city gatekeepers who were responsible for managing the opening and closing of the city gates. Instead, after closing the gates every day, they were sent directly to the imperial city by special personnel and placed in a fixed location. Every morning,
At Chou hour, there will be a special person with the key, and the keys will be given out in the order of the palace city, the imperial city, and the outer city. It will be delivered to the hands of the city gatekeeper around Chou hour.
After Chou hour, at one o'clock on the fourth watch, that is, around one forty in the morning, the gates of Chang'an City opened.
Among the people waiting outside the city gate at this time, there were people from wealthy families who had delivered vegetables from Zhuangzi outside the city early in the morning, some who had come out early in the morning to set up stalls in the two markets, and some who planned to come to the crowd while it was dark.
The one who won a small prize... was bustling with people, and looked shadowy under the light of the torches lit on both sides of the city gate.
On both sides of the road there are some stalls set up by people who have keenly seen business opportunities, such as those selling sugar water, selling groceries, selling old items and antiques, etc. Because the light is dim, those who are interested in the things on the stalls
People can only explore with their hands, and under the undulating lights, it looks like a ghost market.
At a sweet water stall farthest away from the city wall, the stall owner was inviting people coming and going to rest in his stall, and at the same time secretly looked at a person sitting on his stall from time to time as if he was really seeing a ghost.
Help weird people.
These people are all beautiful women, and they are gorgeously dressed, but all of them have expressionless faces and dull eyes. They don't even move their eyes when they look at you. It's very strange and makes people's scalp numb.
There were five or six very lively women sitting in front of these dull-looking beauties. They were chattering and saying something incomprehensible from time to time. It seemed normal. But the stall owner could swear that there were several times when he
It felt like I saw a furry thing swinging around under these women's skirts.
This configuration always made this well-informed stall owner feel hairy, and all the strange stories and scenes he usually heard from the travelers suddenly came to mind.
"Ahhhhh...this is delicious!"
Twenty-nine mothers were holding a piece of cod pizza in their hands, eating with a look of emotion on their faces. "Lang Jun's magic is really amazing, he can actually conjure such delicious food."
"This is delicious too..."
The twenty-fourth girl stuffed handfuls of French fries into her mouth, her cheeks bulging from the food.
"I've never eaten anything like this before."
Tons tons tons tons tons...
A search fox in pink clothes drank a beer glass of Coke in one gulp, and then burped loudly.
"Ha...this still tastes better!"
A little kitten lying on Kong Qing's shoulder was holding a shiny golden elixir-like thing and licking it while wagging its tail and looking at these big guys with contempt.
A fox who eats and drinks.
What a bunch of country foxes who have never seen the world, short-sighted...
Obviously the anchovies are the most delicious!
"I told you guys not to just eat for yourselves..."
Kong Qing tossed a few golden elixirs that were exactly the same as those in the kitten's arms with one hand, and rubbed his eyebrows with the other hand, with a look of helplessness on his face. "You guys can't learn from Twenty Niangs."
For a moment, would you like to feed those poor people something to eat?"
"It doesn't matter..."
Twenty ladies, who were arranging for the more than twenty beauties to eat and drink Coke, heard Kong Qing's words and quickly waved their hands.
"These sisters are very obedient, and I am very busy here alone."
"obedient……"
When it came to being obedient, the look of helplessness on Kong Qing's face suddenly became a little stronger.
Taiyi God indeed had Kong Qing killed, but trouble also came.
These twenty or so beauties have been controlled by Taiyi God's power for too long. Even if they are rescued now, they have become confused and seem to have no sense of autonomy at all.
You can eat when you let them eat, drink when you let them, leave when you let them go, stop when you let them stop, play the pipa when you let them, and play the flute when you let them...
Just like an abacus bead, if you flick it and move it, if you don't give them any orders, they will keep sitting in a graceful posture.
Just like a puppet!
In order to treat them, Kong Qing even took out a bottle of healing potion, but to no avail. Kong Qing even asked Qingxiazi Su Yuanlang to check, but there was no good solution...
In Su Yuanlang's words, what he is good at is how to beat people, and he should look to Sun Simiao for rescuing people!
So in the end, Kong Qing could only take these beauties back to Qingdu Temple and give them to someone staying in Qingdu Temple for a look. After all, everyone is a member of the divine circle and should know what to do.
How was it saved...?
If this person can't do it, then... we can only postpone it for now. Anyway, after four months, the old immortal Sun Simiao will come to Chang'an, and then it will be too late to ask him to help treat these people.
Anyway, you don’t have to worry about eating and drinking, you can have enough pizza, cola, and fries every day!
As for whether they will gain weight in half a year, it doesn't matter. Anyway, in the Tang Dynasty, everyone now likes plump beauties, the kind with S-shaped curves. Maybe everyone will think they are more beautiful by then.
Just when Kong Qing was leading a group of search foxes waiting to enter the city gate, in a certain house in Guiyifang, Chang'an City, Kunlun Numoli was looking at an ancient mirror in front of him and was worried.
"Obviously, when I saw Qing Xiaolang pick up this mirror, this mirror was so powerful. Why didn't the mirror react at all when I got here? Could it be that Nizi Xiaoqing picked up the wrong mirror?"
Molly stretched out his hand and clicked on the ancient mirror.
Zheng!
A clear voice sounded, filling the room!
"That's right, then why is it useless for someone to hold this mirror?"
With that said, Mo Li picked up the mirror with both hands again, and imitated what Kong Qing had done before, and input his own Qi into the ancient mirror. But no matter how much Qi he input into the ancient mirror, it would not be the same.
Just like a stone sinking into the sea, it is impossible to even slightly change the luster of the ancient mirror.
After struggling for a long time, Molly sat down again and placed the ancient mirror in his hand on the table in front of him.
"It's not okay to be so reckless. I have to think about it...what else did Mr. Qingwei say when he talked about this mirror that day?"
Mo Li stroked his curly short hair with his hands and thought seriously.
"That day...seems...right!"
After thinking carefully for a long time, Molly finally remembered a vague picture.
On the day of exorcism, he saw Qingwei holding a treasured mirror, which was shining brightly and wiped out all the evil spirits in the room in a blink of an eye. Then he walked towards the ancient mirror with an envious look on his face, intending to take the mirror down.
When he took a look, Qingwei Langjun turned his head and talked to Li Xunzhi and his daughter-in-law...
What did they say?
"Although this mirror is effective, it is unfortunately suppressed by some evil force. If Ambassador Li wants to activate the power of the mirror, he should smoke it with gold smoke, wash it with jade water, apply it with gold paste, and wipe it with pearl powder.
Then it can help the power of ancient mirrors to ward off evil spirits. When it is lifted to illuminate the sun, the shadow will penetrate the wall. If it is lifted to illuminate people, it should illuminate the internal organs..."
"That's right!"
Molly opened her eyes, her black face full of joy.
"Smoke it with gold smoke, wash it with jade water, apply it with gold paste, wipe it with pearl powder, and then the ancient mirror can be polished again. Let someone see, gold smoke, jade water, gold paste, pearl powder... Well, gold
For ointment and pearl powder, you can just go to the West Market and pick it yourself, but for gold smoke and jade water, you have to go to the Taoist temple to find it..."
Having said this, Molly shook her head with regret.
"It's a pity, if it weren't for the fact that we have to deal with this mirror, it would be most appropriate to find Mr. Qingweiwei."
Why did Mo Li say that he had to find the golden smoke and jade water in the Taoist temple?
Because this golden smoke does not burn gold into smoke, the temperature required is too high. In fact, it was difficult to melt gold in the early Tang Dynasty, so there is a saying that "real gold is not afraid of fire."
This golden smoke actually refers to the purple smoke formed by sorcerers like Wang Chang when they calcined a mixture of mercury and gold. This is the purple smoke that is said to be "the Emperor Wu loved the gods and burned gold to get purple smoke."
And jade water does not mean the liquid after burning jade, that is called jade liquid.
Jade water refers to the kind of water that is extremely clear and looks like beautiful jade when left alone. This kind of water is generally a good thing that is highly praised by alchemists. It is also the top grade of water used to polish mirrors. Later, the word "yushui" was also used to refer to mirrors.
.This is the meaning of the saying 'The jade box is like a floating cloud, but the jade water is secretly hidden'.
"Let's do this. During the day tomorrow, I will go to the West Market to buy some gold paste and pearl powder, then I will go to Xuandu Temple with a mirror to settle the matter of gold smoke and jade water, and then I will do the same thing in the evening... Hehe
!”
A cunning smile appeared on Molly's honest face.
"At that time, this ancient mirror of the Yellow Emperor can be used by me. With this magical mirror, a certain person's status in the Hidden Sect can be raised a step further. Maybe he can even take charge of the entire Outer Sect."
Just when Molly was ecstatic, in a mansion in Qinglongfang, a beautiful woman in white was standing in the corridor, looking steadily in the west direction of Chang'an City.
"White clothes, white clothes..."
A beautiful woman in her thirties quickly rushed in from the side yard, a thick snake tail swinging rapidly under her skirt.
"I just felt the traces of Mogafa again, to the west of Chang'an City. It seems that the thief who stole the ancient mirror from Li Xunzhi's house lives in the west of Chang'an City."
"I feel it too..."
The woman in white turned her head, and her eyes turned out to be golden vertical pupils, full of evil energy.
"The thief is trying to break through Tan Xian's seal. In the past few days, he has been using his energy to attack. Although the seal is still strong now, if this continues, the mirror will break free from the seal sooner or later.
.”
"Can't wait any longer..."
The beautiful woman in her thirties shook the thick snake tail under her skirt, leaving a deep mark in the courtyard in front of the house.
"Tomorrow night we will go to the west of Chang'an City and wait and see. As long as that little thief dares to use Qi to attack the seal again, we will catch him directly, eat him, and get the mirror back."
"That's all it can do..."
The woman in white turned her head and continued to stare at the dark night in the west of Chang'an City, as if her gaze had penetrated the night and shone directly on a certain thief who stole the mirror.
"But don't make too much noise, otherwise things will go bad if you alert the old guy from the Taishi Bureau."
"Don't worry, Baiyi! The southern part of Chang'an City is vast and sparsely populated. As long as we don't return to our original bodies, we will never be discovered."
The beautiful woman agreed, flicking a flexible and forked tongue, making a hissing sound in the air.
