Chapter 102 Rescue
Chapter 102 Rescue
Li Wuxiang was silent for a while: "But you said there was a way just now, but it's very troublesome and not worth it - now that we know that the mirror is using Lingshan to refine Yin soldiers, can that method still be used?"
Cheng Peixin looked a little stunned: "Daoyou, he is just a casual cultivator——"
Li Wuxiang looked at her solemnly: "I promised him."
——That’s just one of them. Another extremely important point is Waixie and Zhao Kui.
When Cheng Peixin first asked for the true spirit of the door god, he felt the emotion from Lingshan, which made him guess that the external evil was in Lingshan. He knew almost nothing about the external evil, and it was impossible for him to ask anyone, so he had to know something about it.
Zhao Kui also said that he had occupied an ancient cave in Lingshan. Zhao Kui was half ghost and half immortal, and he might pop out and cause trouble again at any time. It had almost become a concern for him, and he had to find out the truth about his existence.
Cheng Peixin now said that the mirror was using Lingshan to refine Yin soldiers. If——
"Master, what do you mean by borrowing from Lingshan?"
Cheng Peixin shook her head: "Fellow Daoist, I advise you not to do that. Let's take the matter of borrowing the sacred mountain as an example... Your Sword Sect is a sword that can break the law, so we don't value the methods we often use. But for many of us, for example, if someone loses something and can't find it, then we will perform a ritual to ask a wild god or a monster to find it."
"Or some people want to know the whereabouts of others, and they also have to perform a ritual to ask. What they are asking is actually the wild gods and monsters invited from Lingshan. All the things that need to be invited in this kind of magic are in Lingshan. You know Lingshan well, it is a place with extremely heavy yin and resentment, reversed yin and yang, and twisted spirituality. For example, this time when General Bai wanted to refine the Yin soldiers, he used this mirror as a portal to Lingshan."
"Although we haven't really opened the door to the sacred mountain, and it's like we've only borrowed a small piece of it outside the door, we can't be considered in the world of the living, but rather somewhere between the living and the underworld. Guo Jianming is there right now, so we can say he's dead or alive. The same goes for you, fellow Daoist. If you really go in... no matter how high your cultivation is, you're still a living person after all. If the negative energy inside rushes in, I'm afraid it will damage your vitality."
What a coincidence. He is not a living person. "Borrowed a small piece of land outside the door" ... that is to say, there is indeed a connection between that place and Lingshan.
Li Wuxiang looked at Cheng Peixin and realized that this was a great opportunity. If he went somewhere else in the future, he might not be able to find someone as trustworthy as Cheng Peixin to teach him what to do and what to pay attention to.
He was now eager to know more. Although he had been in this world for more than three months, compared to the practitioners in this world, he was still like a layman.
So he nodded: "Although I am not very good at magic, I do have some means of strengthening the body. Master, you don't have to worry about me damaging the vitality. So I want to go in and save him? Is it difficult to save him?"
When he said this, Cheng Shengfei sat upright beside him, staring at him with burning eyes, as if she admired him so much that she wished she could go with him. Her behavior made Li Wuxiang laugh in his heart, and he thought of Zeng Jianqiu again - if Zeng Jianqiu had met her instead of himself, he would definitely pass on the sword sect's method to her without saying a word, and would also find ways to make her a swordsman. He felt that the two of them were of the same mind.
Cheng Peixin looked at him, not knowing what he was thinking. After a while, she exhaled, "Okay. If you really want to save him, the method is not difficult. He is trapped in a portal in the mirror, just break the portal. You can also bring a bronze mirror in. When you get inside, it should be a chaos. Then you have to wait for a while. When Guo Jianming can speak, there must be strange images inside. At that time, you point the mirror to the place where the strange image appears, break the mirror, and the spell will break by itself."
"But... once you're inside, if there's any voice telling you to do something, like my voice, ignore it. It could be the evil spirits from Lingshan." Li Wuxiang nodded, "Okay, when is the right time?"
"The sooner the better. The longer Guo Jianming stays in there, the more his vitality will be damaged. The danger of this spell is that it damages the foundation of the body. If you are confident in your methods of strengthening your vitality, there is nothing to worry about. Fei'er, get a bronze mirror. It must be new and shiny!"
Cheng Shengfei accepted the order and quickly took out another bronze mirror. It was much more delicate than the one in Li Wuxiang's hand, and it even had a slight scent of powder.
Li Wuxiang took it in his hand, and Cheng Peixin repeatedly reminded him to listen for other noises inside and not to respond. Then she placed the side of the mirror that trapped Lao Guo on the stone table with a teapot propped against it, and asked Li Wuxiang to hold the mirror in his hand, facing the two mirrors, and stare at his own appearance reflected in the bronze mirror.
Then, she took out a tiny object from her sleeve - it looked like a pearl the size of a fingernail, still gleaming and shining slightly in the night.
Cheng Peixin twisted the little thing between three fingers and showed it to Li Wuxiang: "This is the Mysterious Light of the Moon Pointing to our Tianxin Sect, but just like the Five Mountains True Shape Map in Xu Daosheng's hand, it is not the real weapon. I will use this thing to send you in."
She raised her hand, her sleeves slipped off, and lifted the little thing into the air, against the backdrop of the full moon in the sky. Then she rubbed her fingers together, and the little thing disappeared in an instant, as if it had melted into the moonlight.
Li Wuxiang was wondering where the little thing had gone, but suddenly he felt that when Cheng Peixin withdrew her hand, the night sky suddenly darkened, and the courtyard became bright again. He looked again—the moon in the sky had been picked up by her! A bright halo the same size as the moon in the sky fell on the table, reflecting the two mirrors and shining brightly.
Cheng Peixin shouted softly: "Daoyou, concentrate!"
Then he pushed the halo forward - Li Wuxiang only felt that the world around him was bright and then dark, a strong smell of blood rushed into his nose, the ground under his feet seemed to disappear, but it seemed to still be there. He felt as if he was stepping on something, but not firmly. When he raised his foot and put it down to test again, the thing under his feet seemed to catch up again, as if there was no established concept of "ground" here.
It should have entered the mirror. This was the first time that Li Wuxiang felt that he "could not see anything", but he could hear some subtle sounds, as if something was crying somewhere very far away. He remembered Cheng Peixin's words and ignored them, and whispered, "Lao Guo?"
But no one responded, as if he was the only one here. Li Wuxiang frowned and spoke again: "Guo Jianming?"
Still no sound. His heart skipped a beat, and a thought immediately popped up in his mind - was I being cheated?
But the next moment, someone spoke in the darkness, in a fragmentary voice, like a madman: "I don't want to listen, it's all fake, all fake, get out of here!"
