The national teacher does not practice

Chapter 240
Mirror?

In the space on the first floor of Leiyin Tower, Ji Ping'an was looking down at the hand-copied scriptures, when he heard Yu Yu's voice, he turned his head and looked over.

I saw that under the warm light, the saint was standing curiously beside a full-length bronze mirror, pointing at the mirror.

The first time the three of them stepped in, they had already discovered the existence of the eight bronze mirrors, but they didn't notice the danger.

Ye Hongling said:

"Don't touch anything, there is likely to be a defense mechanism here."

Yu Yu originally kept a distance cautiously, but when he heard this, his delicate and delicate Qiong's nose wrinkled and hummed:
"What is there to be afraid of, this saint, I will not be in trouble if something happens to you."

Full of rebellion!
While speaking, she still acted like a demonstration, and jumped forward a step, arriving directly in front of a bronze mirror.

The little hand clasped the magic weapon secretly, ready to counterattack immediately if there was any danger.

The result was a peaceful batch.

In the full-length mirror, her full body image was reflected.

Yu Yu heaved a sigh of relief silently, on the cheeks with a little baby fat, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he turned around and put his hands on his hips:

"Look, what could be the matter? After all, you are the head of the demon slaying division, why are you so timid, and being frightened by the mirrors of Buddhist bald donkeys really hurt my face..."

However, the girl only spoke halfway, when she saw the faces of the two in front of her, she suddenly became very strange.

His eyes flicked past her, and turned to the mirror behind Yu Yu, as if he was looking at something.

"Face...Huh?"

Yu Yu suddenly felt bad, turned around quickly, and immediately froze.

I only saw my own figure in the mirror fade away little by little, as if being diluted, the mirror rippled layer by layer, gradually reflecting a wabi-sabi garden.

Ji Ping'an recognized it at a glance, this is the Jiyuan of Qingyun Palace, the capital of God.

When the stars returned, he went to see Xin Yaoguang.

And as the composition was complete, a bouncing saint in red and white robes appeared in the corner of the picture, walking straight along the corridor and knocking on a door.

I saw Xin Yaoguang sitting cross-legged in meditation, copying Taoist scriptures by hand, like a banished immortal.

"Master?" Yu Yu was confused.

Ye Hongling also tightened her sharp eyebrows, holding the knife in her right hand, but Wu Fu's ingenuity did not warn of danger.

"This is an eight-phase mirror. It's not dangerous." Ji Pingan said suddenly, paused, and added:

"At least in general, there is no danger."

Eight-phase mirror?
Hearing this unfamiliar word, both Yu Yu and Ye Hongling looked confused.

Although they all have a lot of knowledge, Buddhism has been excluded for a long time after all.

Most of the understanding of it comes from books and the impressions left by a few monks, and some details are not known in detail.

Ji Pingan explained flatly:
"Buddhism pays attention to the realm of the mind, and the way some monks practice is to use various emotional situations to hone the heart, in an attempt to make the mind like still water.

And the situations that can cause people's emotional changes are divided into eight types: bad, beneficial, ruined, praised, praised, ridiculed, bitter, and happy, called eight winds.Therefore, what the real eminent monks and great virtues pursue is to let the world of mortals harass, my heart remains steadfast, and 'the eight winds do not move'. "

Yu Yu was at a loss when he heard it, and felt a pain in his head, as if he had returned to the time when he was teaching in Qingyun Palace.

Ye Hongling thought quickly, her eyes lit up:
"You mean, these eight mirrors are actually eight kinds of magic tools that disturb people's hearts? The reason why they surround the desk is to hone the state of mind of the monk living in the center? And copying the scriptures is to resist the eight winds. , to hone the means of cultivating the mind?"

"Children can be taught." Ji Pingan nodded.

Involuntarily in my mind, I thought of Dawei Tianlong's version of Fahai, who pressed the green snake in the spring water to mate, and said righteously and solemnly, "Snake demon, I want you to help me practice".

Ye Hongling wondered:

"Then why isn't it called the Eight Wind Mirror, but the Eight Phase Mirror?"

Ji Pingan said lightly:

"Because the way this mirror seduces people's hearts is to 'reflect' a person's inner emotions and show them in the mirror. This is a kind of 'phase' in Buddhism. Well, in the most straightforward words In other words, it is to present a person's most frequent dream recently in the mirror. Dreams are the deepest reflection of a person's subconscious emotions."

"So this mirror reflects the saint's frequent dreams recently?" Ye Hongling was surprised.

Yu Yu let out a "huh" and said nothing, which was regarded as acquiescence.

Ji Pingan smiled and said:
"It seems that although our saintly highness said how comfortable it is to travel in the rivers and lakes, she still misses home very much."

Yu Yu was furious, her fair cheeks turned red, and she stammered in embarrassment:

"It's just... it's not."

She didn't miss home, she missed Master!

Resolutely do not admit it!
Ye Hongling suppressed her smile, and suddenly felt that the girl who had been arguing with her was not so arrogant anymore.

After all, she is just a young lady who has just entered the rivers and lakes. How can she not miss home after so long?Human nature.

Only the next moment, the picture in the mirror suddenly changed.

Ripples rippled, and a long embankment appeared immediately. Yu Yu walked out of the street and walked straight to a young boy in a green shirt.

Swipe... Ye Hongling turned her head abruptly and looked at Ji Pingan with surprise in her eyes.

Because it was Ji Pingan who appeared in Yu Yu's dream!

In the mirror, the two walked side by side, and then went boating, and were attacked by the boatman. At the critical moment, Ji Pingan gently raised his hand and chopped, and the peach blossoms on the shore fell one after another.

Impressively, it was the scene when two people "dated" for the first time.

Ye Hongling hesitated and said:

"If I'm not mistaken, this is Baidi, the capital of the gods. It should have happened a long time ago, and you two still have this kind of experience."

While speaking, the female warrior's eyes became ambiguous.

Obviously, things that happened a long time ago have frequently appeared in the dreams of the saint recently, which is very strange.

There is only one possibility, that is, the memory of this scene is too deep, and it is often recalled, so it is so deeply ingrained.

Even Ji Ping'an looked a little astonished, and looked at the saint strangely.

"!!!?"

And at this time, Yu Yu who was already angry next to him was also dumbfounded.

The whole person was as motionless as a stone sculpture, and the blush on the fair cheeks spread instantly, reddening to the ears.

Ten toes curled up in the boot, the mouth gaped.

Feeling the two fiery gazes from behind, the girl seemed to have been publicly executed.

She wanted to explain, but her usual eloquence suddenly failed and she became clumsy.

After a long silence, she finally made the most instinctive reaction.

He waved his fist, clenched it tightly, and slammed it fiercely at the bronze mirror in front of him!
"boom!"

With a muffled snort, the girl's fist was suddenly blocked by Ye Hongling's hand, and the female warrior grinned, and hurriedly pulled away Yu Yu who was running away, trying to persuade:
"This can't be played, it will be troublesome if someone finds out."

After talking hard, Yu Yu was finally appeased.

But she also replaced the saint and was exposed in front of the bronze mirror.

I saw the water rippling in the mirror, and the room of Hou Ya, the demon slayer, emerged.

At night, with a lamp like a bean, Ye Hongling leaned over the desk and flipped through the files, looking like a model worker.

Awesome... dreaming and working... Ji Pingan shouted "strong woman", watching with great interest.

Yu Yu, who was struggling to swing Wang Baquan, saw it, stopped his movements, and looked away.

Seeing this, Ye Hongling realized what had happened, panic appeared on her face.

Turning around abruptly, he was relieved when he saw the scene on the mirror.

But in the next second, Ye Hongling in the mirror seemed to be tired, threw the file away, and returned to the bedroom in the yamen.

Opening the closet, I saw a set of small silk clothes in it.

They are all the styles that are said to have been invented by the national teachers in the past to earn military expenses.

The main theme is "sexy", and silk stockings are a big killer that ladies in the circle of ladies only wear in silk trousers in private.

In front of outsiders, the image of a man, always wearing a military officer's robe, a black hat, and a big cloak, a female warrior secretly hides so many explicit female clothing...

Ji Pingan and Yu Yu were startled at the same time, and then saw Ye Hongling in the mirror with a smile from the heart.

Pick up women's clothes and start admiring them, make gestures on the body, turn around the mirror, and imagine how they will look on...

Hiss... I didn't expect you to be such a Ye Hongling!

It turns out that in private, she is also a "progressive woman" who likes beautiful skirts, and even dresses more avant-garde than most traditional women. She even changes her clothes in her dreams. This obsession... Ji Ping'an is amazed.

Yu Yu blinked her big eyes, turned her head to look at the female warrior who blocked her, and saw Ye Hongling's expression was stiff, her body was also frozen in place, her beautiful face turned red and white.

"what--"

In the next second, Ye Hongling raised her right fist decisively, wrapped the huge strength of the cultivator sitting in the well, and slammed it towards the bronze mirror!

"No!"

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Yu Yu hugged Ye Hongling's slender waist tightly with both arms, and stopped the head of the demon slayer who ran away, trying hard to persuade:
"This can't be played, it will be troublesome if someone finds out!"

"No... the bald donkey ruined the reputation of this seat..."

Ye Hongling swung the Wang Baquan, extremely angry, her eyes were red, and she was completely confused. As a monk sitting in a well, she was unexpectedly controlled by Yu Yu to death.

It wasn't until Ji Pingan walked over and blocked her that Ye Hongling regained consciousness.

The next second, the two women who had died on the same spot poked their heads at the same time, looking expectantly at Ji Ping'an's back reflected in the mirror.

Look forward.

Ji Pingan gasped for breath, and hurriedly turned around, seeing his own figure in the bronze mirror slowly shattered, slowly pieced together into Xingyue Cave Mansion, and the blurred outline of the huge Daoist statue.

Ji Pingan snorted coldly.

In the next second, the "eight-phase mirror" that could even reflect the inner dream of monk Sitting Well fluctuated violently, as if blocked by a very high-level power.

The scene that had just taken shape was shattered, and calm was restored, and there was no longer a single figure in the mirror.

Yu Yu and Ye Hongling collapsed:
"Why doesn't yours have one?"

Ji Ping'an's expression remained the same, he said "Oh", and said:

"I've slept better recently, and I haven't had a dream."

? ? !

Hugging each other, the two beauties, one big and one small, who blocked each other slowly had a string of question marks floating above their heads, thinking that this is human talk?

They even suspected that the two of them were cheating Ji Ping'an.

"Okay, there's nothing to see here, and the mysterious monk isn't here either." Ji Pingan held up the simple astrolabe, looked at it for a moment, and said:

"People are not above, but below."

He pointed to his feet.

under?

The two women were stunned at the same time, and forced to pretend that the previous death scene had never happened. Ye Hongling frowned and said:
"Can you divine his location?"

Ji Pingan shook his head: "No."

He had tried it before, but he couldn't divination the other party. This is also strong evidence for his guess that this person is a "reborn".

"However, I can look back from the starlight and vaguely see his escape path." Ji Pingan pointed to his eyes.

That's right, this guy is a star official, who can read the scenes that happened in the past period of time from the "light"... Ye Hongling was shocked and said:
"Why don't you hurry up?"

Ji Pingan led the way, and the three of them did not go to the upper level of the Leiyin Pagoda - there were only some magic tools, scriptures, and some houses stored there.

In order to avoid trouble and it is not easy to steal, there is no need to check it.

And following the first floor, they drilled into another corridor, and soon, the three of them found a separate room.

In the room, there is only one ancient well.

"Crack." Yu Yu snapped her fingers, and a flame lit up, floating above her head, providing illumination.

Ji Pingan lowered his head, looked at the ancient well with complicated eyes, and said:
"A man jumped into the well."

"I'll go down and have a look." Ye Hongling volunteered, relying on her tyrannical cultivation, she jumped directly into the ancient well, the knife in her hand was out of the sheath, and she looked around, but there was no one.

"nobody!"

Hearing this, Ji Ping'an and Yu Yu looked at each other and jumped into the well one after another.

The space in the well is not too big, and it has obviously been repaired. The Buddhist paintings on the surrounding walls are well preserved. The three of them stepped on a lotus platform, and soon discovered that there was a door on the wall below.

Yu Yu jumped over and fumbled for a while, then said:

"This is not a normal door, it's like a magic circle portal. Without the correct 'secret key', there is no way to break in by force."

The saint who majored in formations will give professional judgment.

Portal?

Ye Hongling was stunned, and said:
"Why is there a portal under the Leiyin Tower? Could it be that it existed in ancient times?"

Ji Pingan was silent for a while, shook his head and said:
"There was no such thing before. It should be built later."

The second daughter didn't ask him how he knew it, anyway, it's not surprising that Ji Pingan has the secret.

Yu Yu said angrily:
"What did I say, this is definitely a monk inside the monastery, otherwise why would there even be a teleportation circle? This thing is probably built for the convenience of escaping!"

Ye Hongling frowned. With her rich experience in investigating cases, she intuitively believed that this matter was more complicated than expected.

It is definitely not Yu Yu's arbitrary idea that can be included.

Moreover, the most critical problem is that the mysterious person left through the portal. Although she was sitting in a well, she couldn't forcefully open the Buddhist circle.

Of course, the opportunity to obtain "evidence" was also lost.

"Go back first, it seems that there will be no harvest tonight." Ji Pingan didn't have much disappointment on his face.

In his opinion, if he can easily capture him, there will be a problem instead.

Those who can be reborn and successfully avoided the search in the past few months, and who have survived until now, are not easy characters to deal with.

Yu Yu and Ye Hongling felt unwilling, but they could only accept it.

Before leaving, Yu Yu looked around and said strangely:
"Speaking of which, Master Liyang and Liuli Bodhisattva were here...that?"

"Which one?" Ji Pingan glanced at her.

Yu Yu hesitated to speak, then suddenly gave him a hard look, turned his head, and snorted without answering.

Ye Hongling smiled and said:
"I don't know if Master Liyang and Liuli Bodhisattva have also been reborn, but this is a headache for the Buddhist sect...Huh? Someone is here!"

While speaking, the female warrior's spiritual consciousness suddenly shook, and her smile faded away.

……

Outside the courtyard where the Leiyin Pagoda is located.

When the nursing home carried a leather lantern and passed through the bamboo forest, when it arrived here, it saw a white monk robe also carrying a lantern, coming from the opposite direction.

"Mage?" The nursing home was surprised:
"How did you come?"

Master Yihong came slowly, the night around him seemed to be illuminated by light, receding like a tide, his brown eyes were calm and indifferent:

"Before, Ji Sichen gave me a Buddhist verse, and my heart was enlightened, and I couldn't sleep, so I wanted to come to the pagoda to practice."

After a pause, Master Yihong asked doubtfully:
"You are..."

The nursing home said: "Heard some movements, so I thought about making a patrol."

Master Yihong said calmly:

"Leiyin Pagoda is blocked by an enchantment, and the Buddhist Temple is illuminated by Buddha's light, so don't worry."

The nursing home saluted with one hand: "The mage said so."

But did not go.

Master Yihong shook his head, pushed open the door, and said, "Let's take a look together."

The two aroused their breath, stepped into the barrier easily, entered the Leiyin Pagoda, checked it from top to bottom, and found nothing.

Only then did the nursing home breathe a sigh of relief, and said, "It seems that my worries are unfounded."

Master Yihong said: "As a guardian, you should protect the safety of the monastery. There is nothing wrong with it. Go back and rest."

Da Nuyuan put his palms together, turned and left.

Watching the burly Toutuo leave, Master Yihong, who was wearing a white monk robe, shook his head and walked to his familiar seat.

Sitting cross-legged and meditating, I picked up the ink pen on the table, grinded the ink little by little, and prepared to continue copying Buddhist scriptures for meditation.

After the ink was finished, the mage in white got up, walked to an eight-phase mirror, and looked at his own figure reflected in the mirror with the help of the light.

Master Yihong raised his eyebrows, vaguely aware of something, flicked the mirror with his fingers.

In the next second, the bronze mirror rippled and rippled, and a man and two women slowly emerged, three figures remaining in the mirror.

Master Yihong snorted.

……

……

That night, the monastery was peaceful and nothing happened.

The next morning.

In a certain guest house, when the sky lighted up outside the paper window and a ray of sunlight entered, Li Xiangjun finally woke up from his spring dream.

"kindness……"

The beautiful woman who had not lost her charm from back then slowly woke up from her dream with a groan, her mind was still in chaos, and there were still some memories about a weird dream.

Then I realized that my body was chilly and very light.

?

Li Xiangjun blinked his misty eyes, groped his body with his hands, and finally saw the situation clearly.

I was lying on the edge of the bed, lying on my back, the mattress was piled up in a mess, and the quilt was kicked far away.

With only a few messy little clothes hanging on his body, his white and plump body was exposed all night in the guest room of the Buddhist monastery.

"Ah..." Li Xiangjun blushed and was extremely ashamed.

She hurriedly sat up, and quickly arranged the clothes on her body with both hands. Although she had already given birth to three children, her face was still mostly red.

Spit secretly, sigh:

"What should I do..."

She had no memory of what happened last night, only vaguely had a "dream" by herself.

In the dream, I heard movement, opened my eyes, and saw a young and familiar face.

Then I somehow became obsessed with it, and then there were some favorite stories.

"How could I dream of him..." Li Xiangjun couldn't laugh or cry, angry and embarrassed.

"Ma'am, it's time to eat fast." At this time, the voice of the big maid came from outside.

Li Xiangjun said "En", hesitated for a while, and said:
"You sneak some water, I want to wipe off my sweat."

wipe sweat?

It wasn't too hot last night, Madam, what sweat did you wipe off... The big servant girl was startled, but she followed her orders to prepare.

Half an hour later, Li Xiangjun dressed neatly, regained his grace and elegance, and went to the special dining hall accompanied by the maid and servant.

As a result, as soon as they arrived, they saw Ji Pingan and the other three who had come a step earlier and were already sitting at the table.

"Mrs. Pei, it was too late last night, so we couldn't meet you. Did you sleep well?" Ye Hongling greeted with a smile while sitting at the table.

Just as the three of them knew of Li Xiangjun's arrival, Mrs. Pei also knew of the arrival of Ji Ping'an and the others.

Hearing this, Li Xiangjun habitually showed the impeccable smile of the master of the big family, ready to answer.

It's just that when she saw Ji Pingan sitting upright at the banquet, her cheeks flushed suddenly, her eyes shifted, and she said in a slightly uncomfortable tone:

"Very good, very good... I was supposed to visit first yesterday, but I never expected that Chief Yesi and... the two of you would come here as well."

The two sides exchanged pleasantries, because there were outsiders present, so they only asked each other roughly.

Li Xiangjun learned that the other party was here to investigate the case, but he didn't know the specifics.What's more, as the person involved, she almost fell into the clutches of the devil last night.

The two sides sit and eat.

room.

Li Xiangjun looked particularly uncomfortable, far less composed than usual, drinking white rice porridge, and stealing glances at Ji Pingan opposite him from time to time.

After drinking half full, he wiped the residue from the corner of his mouth and said goodbye first.

Prepare to take advantage of the early time and there are not many pilgrims today, and pray for a child again.

"What's wrong with Mrs. Pei today, I feel weird." Ye Hongling said doubtfully.

Ji Pingan put down the bowl and chopsticks, and said:

"Maybe I was shocked last night."

He didn't have the nerve to say it, and knocked him out with a slap.

Yu Yu looked suspicious, always feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell, so he simply didn't want to, and said:
"Then what should we do next? Continue to stare at Li Xiangjun? Use her as bait? But it feels like we won't be hooked again."

Ji Ping'an's expression was calm, and he didn't see any anxiety, but said:
"A lot of things don't need to be too complicated. Maybe someone will come looking for them without us doing anything."

someone looking for?
The second daughter was puzzled, not knowing what he was up to, but at this moment, footsteps came from outside the dining hall.

The Zhike monk rushed over with a small step, with a smile on his face:

"Ji Sichen, the abbot invites you."
