Mortal bone

Chapter 12 Opening the Bronze Mirror, Xu Taiping Hears the Sutras for the First Time



"Snapped!"

Then, Fairy Lingyue reached out and pointed at the brow of the ghost, drawing a rune on the brow with a milky white brilliance.

When the rune sank between the eyebrows of the ghost, the ghost stood up with a blank expression, then turned a blind eye to Fairy Lingyue in front of him, turned and left while saying to himself:

"Why did I stumble here, that's all, that's all, let's go back and report to the king. When we see the king, tell him that there is another little monk in charge of the medicine garden in Qingzhuju. We can wait for him in the medicine garden. Come back when the elixir inside is ripe, and then take his life and the elixir in the garden, and the king may reward me with a tender heart, beautiful, beautiful!"

At the end, the ghost couldn't help shaking his head, obviously very satisfied with his plan.

"Hey, although letting the tiger go back to the mountain is a very risky thing, I still hope that Little Taiping can understand the good intentions of being a teacher in the future."

Fairy Lingyue looked at the ghost who shook her head and left and muttered to herself.

Although Xu Taiping hasn't been asked to be a teacher yet, and he doesn't know whether Xu Taiping would like to be a teacher, but this does not prevent Fairy Lingyue from substituting herself into the role of master.

But she would definitely not admit that the main reason for doing this was that she was too lonely after staying in the Ksitigarbha fruit for hundreds of years, and wanted to have fun.

……

The next day.

Xu Taiping woke up early.

He first went to the medicine garden to clean up the weeds, and then added a few shovels of soil to the place where the Ksitigarbha was buried. After all, for him, the Ksitigarbha would be a great reliance for him to gain a foothold in the world of practice in the future. Let people steal it.

And Fairy Lingyue really didn't show up after returning to the Ksitigarbha Fruit last night, Xu Taiping thought that she might really not come out until a month later.

After clearing the weeds in the medicine garden, he spent another morning tidying up the three thatched huts in Qingzhuju.

The environment of the thatched cottage is very simple, a bedroom with only one bed, a main room, a kitchen, and a latrine built behind the medicine garden.

In the process of cleaning the kitchen, Xu Taiping discovered two very interesting things - a water tank that can't be scooped out, and a rice tank that can produce a tank of rice when one merit coin is thrown in.

With water and rice, plus a piece of dried fish hanging on the wall, Xu Taiping's first meal in Qingxuanzong was settled like this.

After eating, he made the bed with sheets and quilts from the cabinet, then sat cross-legged on the bed and took out the jade slip and the bronze mirror that Xifeng Pavilion had given him earlier.

"Fairy Lingyue gave me the prescription of marrow-washing and bone-cutting soup. She tapped on the center of my eyebrows. The method of passing on the jade slip is also pasted on the center of the eyebrows. This should be a common method in the practice world."

He picked up the jade slip and muttered in a low voice.

According to the owner of the Xifeng Pavilion, this jade slip recorded Qingxuanzong's method of refining Qi, as well as explanations about Qingxuanmen's many rules and the usage of the bronze mirror.

"Phew... the things transmitted in this jade slip are much more than Fairy Lingyue's finger."

Feeling the paragraphs of words that kept pouring out of his mind, Xu Taiping only felt dizzy for a while, and almost fell off the bed.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for him to breathe a sigh of relief when no new words popped up in his mind.

But immediately he found another problem.

The words that entered his mind are like books on the shelf, you need to read them to see and understand the contents.

"So the method of imparting kung fu on this jade slip is still somewhat different from the method taught to me by Fairy Lingyue. Fairy Lingyue's finger directly let me know how to make medicine according to the prescription, but this jade slip can only stuff these things into it. into my head."

Xu Taiping carefully felt the difference between the two.

"However, it is also possible that the content is different, which led to this difference."

He immediately added another sentence in his mind, and then stopped worrying about these things, and calmed down to read the lines in his mind a little bit.

……

three days later.

After almost three days of hard work, Xu Taiping finally read all the contents of the jade slips.

As the owner of the Xifeng Pavilion said before, there are three main contents in the jade slips - a "Cangxia Jing", a volume of "Summary of the Function of Xuanjing", and a "Qingxuanzong Code of Laws".

During this period, he also planed the land of the medicine garden while "reading".

……

"According to the method taught in the jade slips, after the ground is planed, you can pick up some animal excrement and dead branches and leaves to burn the soil and fertilize the land."

"However, there is no need to rush to do this step. Today is the first day of the new year, and Elder Ziyang lectures on the scriptures. What he said is the basis of "The Sutra of Cangxia" and the introduction of monks. It only happens once every three months. You must not miss it."

"After listening to the lecture, I can choose the seeds I want to buy in the bronze mirror by the way, so that I won't waste that merit coin."

While eating alone in the main room, Xu Taiping began to think about what to do today, and then tore off a page of the almanac on the wall.

A page of the almanac was torn open, just revealing the words "Junior First", and a line of small characters such as "It is advisable to study, avoid breaking the ground" was written with a vermilion pen on the side.

This was bought together when he summoned a spirit bird to help him buy daily necessities yesterday, and it cost him six merit coins in total, which made him feel distressed for a long time.

……

After dinner, go back to the bedroom.

Xu Taiping took out the bronze mirror from the box, and carefully placed it on a broken table in front of him.

On the table at this time, besides the bronze mirror, there were half a bowl of clear water, a few flower petals and a Qingxuanzong merit coin.

Xu Taiping recalled how to use the bronze mirror, then dipped some water in the bowl with his hands and dripped it on the bronze mirror, and then put a few flower petals and the merit coin on it.

"call……"

Almost at the moment when he put the merit coin on the bronze mirror, a gust of breeze suddenly blew out from the bronze mirror, and there was a faint scent of sandalwood in the wind.

Immediately afterwards, a voice came from the bronze mirror:

"Xu Taiping, a named disciple outside Qingxuanzong, is here. Don't walk away. Elder Ziyang will start to lecture immediately. If you miss today, you will have to wait another three months."

Xu Taiping, who had already read the contents of the jade slips, was not frightened by this voice, because it was mentioned in the volume "Summary of the Function of the Mysterious Mirror" that it was the voice of the spirit of the Mysterious Mirror.

According to the "Summary of the Functions of the Mysterious Mirror", the spirit of the Mysterious Mirror is like a guide who can help you find what you want to see in the bronze mirror.

Of course, Qingxuanzong's forbidden area is excluded, and every "guidance" requires a merit coin.

"Thank you, Master Xuanjing."

Xu Taiping thanked him.

The spirit of the mysterious mirror is not completely dead, so in his opinion, it is very necessary to say thank you.
