467, The Ancient Mirror, The Green Frog Repays the Money (Please complete the order)
"etc!"
"Wang Du..."
Bai Gui let out a light sigh. The two words "Wang Du" and "Bao Mirror" were connected together, which reminded him of a story circulated in the Sui and Tang Dynasties called "The Ancient Mirror".
He searched his memory and found this article.
Among them, the character in this story is none other than Wang Du. After Wang Du obtained the precious mirror, he used it to ward off evil spirits and suppress demons.
Wang Du lent the mirror to Wang Ji. When Wang Ji returned to Chang'an, he returned the mirror to Wang Du. After the mirror fell into the mirror box, one day, it suddenly disappeared.
The later Ancient Mirror does not tell what happened to Wang Du. But Bai Gui heard what Tai Lecheng Wang Ji, Wang Du's younger brother, said just now, that Wang Du died suddenly one month after losing the mirror.
"On July 15, the thirteenth year of Daye's reign, there was a mournful cry in the box. It was slender and far away. It grew bigger and bigger, like a dragon roaring and a tiger roaring. Good faith is determined. Open the box and look at it, and you will lose the mirror." - "Ancient Mirror"
remember"
"Wang Du is no more than an ordinary man. Although it is possible to use a mirror to ward off evil spirits and suppress monsters, over time, it will definitely consume your life. Wang Du died in a month, and the precious mirror screamed sadly. It can be seen that the precious mirror knew that Wang Du was about to die and did not want to see it.
Wang Du used it again and died suddenly in advance, so he escaped on his own..."
Bai Gui thought to himself.
This precious mirror was cast by the Yellow Emperor, so it is definitely not an evil thing. As for consuming Wang Du's life span, this can be regarded as a gain and a loss. If Wang Du's life span is not consumed, Wang Du may not survive when encountering monsters, but with this
Mirror, but he was able to survive. On the contrary, it extended Wang Du's life in disguise.
Misfortunes are where blessings depend, and blessings are where misfortunes lie.
"Yuan Taizheng's arithmetic skills are unparalleled. Your Majesty can't find any trace of this object. Please let Yuan Taizheng do the fortune telling."
While Bai Gui was thinking, someone suggested to Li Shimin.
Bai Gui shook his head.
Since the treasure has been hidden, not even Yuan Tiangang or Yuan Shoucheng can easily calculate the whereabouts of the ancient mirror. Even if they can calculate it and tell it easily, this is not a loss at all. It is estimated that if they tell it, they will die suddenly on the spot.
.
After hunting in the Forbidden Garden, everyone returned to Chang'an.
…
late at night.
Bai Gui fell into a dream, and with the help of Cao Yuzhi, he traveled to Changlepo outside Chang'an City.
Changlepo is located twelve miles northeast of Chang'an, on the west bank of the Chan River.
According to the records of "Ancient Mirror", Wang Du once used a precious mirror to shine on a civet cat demon named Parrot in Changle Slope. The civet cat demon died and was buried on the spot in Changle Slope.
He came to Changlepo to look for the body of the civet cat demon. Then he used this to find the whereabouts of the precious mirror.
"Land! Land! Come quickly to see me."
He looked around Changlepo with his discerning eyes and saw a shrine with a length and a half feet wide under a tung tree. It was the Earth Temple, so he clasped his fingers towards the Earth Temple and shouted.
Changlepo Di was living in peace in Futian when he heard someone calling outside the door. His expression changed slightly, he hurriedly packed up his clothes, walked out of the shrine, bowed to Bai Gui and said: "The Immortal is here. The little old man was not far away to greet you, and he didn't know that the Immortal was summoning him.
What did the little old man do?"
Tuigong is the native of a land. The first thing these gods and deities ask about is their land. So it is not surprising that Tudigong is a native of the land.
"I came here to find the corpse of a civet cat demon, the corpse from the Daye Year."
Bai Gui took a look at Tu Tu Gong. He looked very similar to Tu Tu Gong from Yongji County. However, there was nothing strange about this. Tu Tu was a small god. No matter how handsome he was in life, when he became Tu Tu Gong, he would look similar in spirit.
It will turn into this short, old look with a long beard.
"Please come with the little old man."
Changlepo Tugong thought for a while, thought of something, and then said.
He didn't ask Bai Gui more about what he was doing to find the body of the raccoon cat demon. This was something he shouldn't ask. If he asked more, the cause and effect would be related to him in the future. Moreover, given his identity, he could only obey the order of the immortal. There are many, and he is not qualified to ask.
The two walked to a locust tree.
The Earth God recited a few incantations, and the soil beneath the locust tree reacted, revealing a small coffin made of willow wood.
"When an ordinary cat dies, in order to prevent resentment from causing trouble, it will be hung on a treetop and buried in the sky. This civet cat... I don't know if it is a demon, but in this case, it was buried underground."
he said.
A dead cat is hung on a tree, a dead dog is released into a stream of water.
Cats have an evil nature. If a dead cat is buried in the ground, it will easily become evil. Therefore, in the entire Changle Slope, in the past few decades, only this civet cat has been buried in the soil.
Similarly, it was also because the cat demon was buried deep underground, so it was difficult for Bai Gui to find traces of it. Therefore, Bai Gui asked the Tudong of Changlepo to help him find the body of the cat demon.
Bai Gui nodded, pointed towards the willow coffin with one finger, and a cat demon breath was absorbed into his hand.
When the land lord saw that Bai Gui had not opened the coffin, he understood. He hit the ground with the dragon-headed crutch in his hand, and the cat demon's willow coffin sank deep into the ground again.
"This is a piece of gold. Thank you Lord Landlord for your help."
He took out an ingot of gold from his sleeve and handed it to the Earth God.
Gold is of no use to him, and it is of little use to the Tudigong. But the Tudigong didn't help him much this time. In fact, as long as he is patient and spends time searching, he can find the body of the cat demon in a short time. So give him a Ingot gold, already very good.
As for finding the Earth God to reveal his traces, there is no need to worry about that. If exposed, it will be exposed. He is a dignified official in heaven, and having one or two sacred objects is not a big deal.
There is no monster with powerful magical powers in the lower world that doesn’t have a treasure in its hands.
He is an official in heaven and has the ability to protect himself.
Besides... I'm just looking for the body of the cat demon.
"Thank you, Immortal."
The landowner accepted the gold and thanked him.
When the boss comes to his place, if he refuses to eat and asks for cards, it is considered a conscience.
He was overjoyed to receive gold as a gift.
As a little god, the Earth God knows how to look at people's eyes. Now that Bai Gui has no intention of asking him for help, he excuses himself and leaves on his own.
Wait until the landowner leaves.
Bai Gui injected this wisp of the cat demon's breath into the Kunlun Mirror.
The Kunlun Mirror can be used in time and space, and can even trace past and present lives. When he gets this breath of the cat demon, he can use the Kunlun Mirror to find the location of the treasure mirror.
After a while, the mirror changed, and a scene appeared.
A scholar was studying in a humble abode. In the humble abode, a beautiful young woman was putting on makeup. On the dressing table was a precious mirror with a diameter of eight inches. On the back of the mirror, you could vaguely see the knot of the unicorn pattern.
When the young woman put on makeup, her red lips parted slightly and she said to the scholar.
"Green clam..."
He heard these two words from the young woman's mouth.
Then, the Kunlun Mirror scene disappeared.
This is the secret that the Kunlun Mirror has found. No matter how many more Kunlun Mirrors can be found, he must rely on him to exert the magical effect of the Kunlun Mirror with all his strength. But this will outweigh the gains and losses, and using all his strength will easily leak the Kunlun Mirror's aura. Cast by Xuanyuan Huangdi He can keep the precious mirror, but with his status, he may not be able to keep the Kunlun Mirror.
But even if there are only two words, green clam, it is enough for him.
"Green clam..."
Bai Gui recited these two words and calculated the secrets with his fingers.
He was not able to directly pinpoint the location of the precious mirror, but he could still figure out where the green clam related to the woman was.
After a while, he waved his sleeves and robe, hiding his whereabouts.
…
Fengxiang Mansion, Linzhou City.
To the east of the city, at the mountain col, Bai Gui settled down here.
It was already dawn.
So what Bai Gui came here was not his soul, but his true body.
A young scholar walks uphill.
His lower clothes were stained with water, and he was holding a pottery cup in his hand as he walked eagerly towards the hillside. On the hillside was his humble residence.
"Student Xu Xing is a scholar from Linzhou. I wonder who Shangguan is? Why is he alone here?"
The young scholar was walking when he suddenly saw an official in green robe from the corner of his eye. He frowned and took a closer look. This green robe did not look like a costume. The materials used in the costume were different from real official uniforms.
He knew in his heart that this might be an official, so he stepped forward to talk to him.
If you can get to know an official, it will be of great help to his future studies and career.
"I will save you from the left and you will find nothing."
Bai Gui rolled up his sleeves and said calmly.
"Menxiasheng?"
Xu Xing was surprised, his subordinate Zuo Shiyi was a capital official, not a local official, "Why did Bai Shiyi come to Linzhou?"
Based on his demeanor alone, he could tell that Bai Gui was not pretending to be an official. Furthermore, there was no use pretending to be an official to deceive him, as he had nothing to offer.
Bai Gui did not answer, but smiled, pointed to the pottery cup in Xu Xing's hand, and said: "Huainanzi" says: 'The green clam pays back the money.' Put the mother and son of the green clam one by one in the pottery, and bury them.
Go east to the Yin Yuan and open it in three days, then follow each other. Spread eighty-one coins with the blood of the mother, and eighty-one coins with the blood of the son. Keep the son for the mother, and keep the mother for the son. Both are returned to oneself."
Green clam is a kind of water insect, commonly known as water cicada.
If this secret fell on ordinary water bugs or animals, it might be difficult for Bai Gui to figure it out. But it happened that the secret fell on Qingji, which is the name for money. He is the supernumerary God of Wealth, in charge of wealth.
After doing some calculations, I found out that someone planned to use green clams to make mother-and-son coins.
After the green clams are made into mother money, use the child money and leave the corresponding mother money. The child money will automatically fly back to the mother money. Use the mother money and the mother money will automatically fly back to the child money.
Xu Xing was immediately horrified.
"Your Excellency...how do you know this method?"
He said tremblingly and uneasily.
Using money made from green clams is equivalent to stealing money. The person in front of him is an official, so he can't help but be afraid. In addition, although he has heard of Huainanzi, he is from a poor family and has not bought any books. Now listen to Bai Bai
When Gui said this, he instantly felt ashamed.
"This method is a witchcraft. It looks like stealing money, but in fact it will ruin your luck and shorten your life."
Bai Gui said again.
Ordinary people will not get the mother-child money by following the method he just mentioned. To obtain the mother-child money, some special sacrificial training methods are needed.
But every gain comes with a loss. This is the reincarnation of heaven and cannot be changed. At least in the world of Journey to the West, where cause and effect are clear, it cannot be changed. It seems that you have gained money, but you have lost your life and luck.
Xu Xing was so frightened that he quickly dropped the pottery cup in his hand.
"Your wife has been using this method for a long time, and her luck has been damaged, and her lifespan is immeasurable. After a while, no, no, it doesn't take a while, just take a look..."
With that said, Bai Gui cast a spell and took Xu Xing to Xu Xing's home.
I saw a middle-aged man sneaking into the inner room, his eyes full of coveting for the beautiful young woman in the inner room.
