Supreme Golden Palace

Chapter 69: Mirror of the Heart (Part )
Two days later,
The Northern Expedition Camp, the Central Army Tent,
Lu Shang, who was summoned to the military camp by Yang Lin from the library of the Secretariat, looked at the calm-faced King Yang Lin.

Yang Lin waved his hand, and three lieutenant generals came forward, each holding a brocade box, a bronze cauldron, and a dressing case. They said, "Lü Shang, I have taken care of those two things for you."

"look,"

Seeing the doubt on Lu Shang's face, Yang Lin opened the brocade box, the lid of the cauldron, and the box one by one. He pointed at the brocade box and said, "This is the Three-light Purple Bamboo Whip."

Then he pointed to the bronze cauldron and said, "This is the head of the demon fox that broke the law."

Finally, he pointed at the box and said, "This is a rare item that was handed over when the Jingzhao Prefecture killed the demon fox."

Lu Shang glanced at the brocade box, the lid of the tripod, and the casket, and was surprised at Yang Lin's decisiveness. Yang Lin said it would take three days, and he really did get the job done within three days.

"Come, try this Three Lights Purple Pattern Bamboo Whip. I personally sought out the Grandmaster of Xuandu Temple for this whip and had him inscribe the 'Three Lights Purple Patterns Mixed Way' on the whip, making it a magical weapon."

"The way of the mixture of three lights and purple characters, a spiritual magic weapon," Lu Shang looked at the whip with flowing purple patterns, stretched out his hand to grasp the whip handle, and the wonderful feeling of being connected by blood and flesh, and communicating with each other's minds instantly filled his heart.

hum! !

He picked up the three-light purple bamboo whip, and when the whip shook, purple arcs of lightning danced on it. When he swung it, thunder roared.

Lu Shang was also a seeker of truth, so he naturally knew the preciousness of the mixed truth of the three lights and purple characters.

According to Daofa Huiyuan, the Jade Pure True King paid homage to Yuanshi God and obtained the "Way of the Mixture of Three Lights and Purple Texts" and the "Secret of the Five Thunders to Control Evil and Kill Demons", and then performed the Five Thunders Dharma, and the Five Thunder Commanders were born accordingly.

It can be said that the 'Three Lights and Purple Texts Mixed Way' is the 'General Outline of the Five Thunders Method'. If one can comprehend this way, one can drive away thunder and lightning, pray for rain and clear weather, cure evil spirits and demons, ward off locusts and eliminate leprosy, and refine and liberate ghosts. One's divine power is infinite and the power of the Dharma is limitless.

Yang Lin must have done a great favor to ask the Grand Master of Xuandu Temple to leave the "Three Lights and Purple Characters Mixed Way" on the steel whip.

Even if Yang Lin is the reincarnation of a great god from the upper realm and the king of the current dynasty, it is impossible for the master of Xuandu Temple to leave his family's secret on a steel whip without paying the corresponding price.

With the "Three Lights and Purple Patterns Mixed Dao" bamboo whip, he had the foundation to become an immortal weapon. Once Lü Shang achieved immortality among men, he could use the five elements of gold to forge the weapon, turning it into a magical weapon of the immortal way.

Yang Lin also had good intentions. This three-light purple bamboo whip was enough for Lu Shang to use until he could achieve immortality in his physical body.

Seeing Lü Shang's fondness for the recast bamboo whip, Yang Lin nodded imperceptibly and had his lieutenant take another step forward, holding the bronze cauldron. He said, "This is a fox demon who broke the law. It has been killed by the underworld and Jingzhao Prefecture. The Jingzhao Prefecture has presented its head to me."

"look,"

Upon hearing this, Lu Shang's gaze shifted from the bamboo whip to the bronze cauldron, which contained a yellow fox head. The fox's ears were drooping, its fur was turned outward, one eye was half-closed, and the other was wide open, with fear and unwillingness still lingering in its pupils.

The fox demon refused to believe it until his death. He was not a criminal under the Heavenly Law, yet he was pursued by the ghost soldiers of the City God and the detectives of Jingzhao Prefecture.

The mortal realm and the underworld simultaneously attacked, forcing the fox demon, who had cultivated for three hundred years, to retreat within two days before its hideout was discovered. A master from Jingzhao Prefecture decapitated it and presented it to King Kaoshan. Yang Lin said softly, "This vile fox, daring to disrupt the law, deserves death. However, the Jingzhao Prefecture also reported that they recovered a rare item from the fox demon's captivity. Since I specifically requested the fox demon's slaying, I dared not act without authorization."

"So, this rare item and the yellow fox head were sent to my tent for me to deal with."

Lu Shang was stunned and asked, "A strange object? What is it?"

What kind of treasure could a fox demon have that Yang Lin would call a rare item?

Yang Lin said solemnly, "This is a strange item you would never imagine. Aren't you surprised by the fox demon's audacity to sneak into Daxing, and why he would go to such great lengths to harm a widow living alone?"

"That's what he wants, a mirror to reflect his heart!"

Yang Lin extended his hand and asked the lieutenant holding the box to come forward. He looked at the bronze mirror inside the box and said, "Who would have thought that this woman named Liu had an ancestor who married the Tushan Fox?"

After learning the whole story, Yu Qingze, who was in charge of the Jingzhao Prefecture, sent Wang Hu to buy the bronze mirror from Mrs. Liu. The reason for the purchase was that Mrs. Liu was law-abiding and had committed no crime, so the Jingzhao Prefecture paid for it.

When it was delivered to Yang Lin, he did not ask about the details. A rare item like the Heart Mirror, if placed in the hands of ordinary people, would be a crime even if the person was innocent. Even if he did not take it away, Mrs. Liu would not be able to protect the heirloom that had been exposed to the public.

Lu Shang looked at the bronze mirror in the box curiously and whispered to himself, "A mirror that reflects the heart?"

Yang Lin smiled and explained the story: "During the Three Kingdoms period, there was a man named Liu Chishui from Pingle. He was renowned for his talent at a young age. One day, he met two beauties in the suburbs, one dressed in red, the other in green. He was deeply attracted to them. Later, the woman in red invited them to her home, which was decorated lavishly, and both women treated him with great hospitality."

"After that, Liu Chishui often interacted with the two women, and gradually fell in love with them. The girl with red clothes was named Shanhu, and the girl with green clothes was Fengxian. Later, Liu Chishui's family suffered a sudden change and became impoverished. Shanhu left him, but Fengxian remained with him."

Fengxian encouraged Liu Chishui to study hard. To motivate him, she gave him a mirror and said, "If you study hard, you will see my smile in the mirror; if you waste your time, you will see my sorrow in the mirror." Liu Chishui was inspired by this and studied hard day and night.

"This mirror is the mirror that reflects the heart. As the mirror implies, it reflects the subtleties of the human heart. Liu Chishui is the ancestor of the Liu family, and the two girls, Shanhu and Fengxian, are the transformations of the Tushan fox."

Illuminate the subtle human heart!
Lu Shang frowned. This special ability might be strange to others, but to King Yang Lin, it was no different from an ordinary bronze mirror. How could it be qualified to be called a rare object by him?

Seeing Lü Shang's puzzled expression, Yang Lin stroked his beard and said, "To use only this bronze mirror to reflect the subtleties of human nature is like buying the box and returning the pearl. Legend has it that Emperor Xuanyuan, in order to deter evil spirits from all directions, took the fine copper from Shouyang, mixed it with divine objects from all directions, used heavenly fire as a furnace, and cast fifteen bronze mirrors."

"The Heart-Reflecting Mirror is one of them. These bronze mirrors come in different sizes, all with sacred beasts attached to them. Their mysteries are different, but they all have the power to bring good luck, ward off evil, and subdue demons."

"With the fox demon's power, there's no need to use a spell to disturb the soul and the mind to kill a widow. It's because the Liu family has a magic mirror to protect the house, so the fox demon can't get close. That's why they resorted to this strategy to disturb her mind, confuse her will, and make her lose her mind."

"That is, Mrs. Liu's husband died young, and she doesn't have the Liu bloodline. If she had the Liu bloodline, no evil magic would be able to get within three meters of the Liu residence."
