Supreme Golden Palace

Chapter 70: Mirror of the Heart (Part )
"According to Qiansui, this is truly a rare treasure, a peerless treasure."

When Lu Shang heard Yang Lin talk about the origin of the Heart-Reflecting Mirror and looked at the bronze mirror in the box, he was finally impressed.

Yang Lin snorted, "After all, this is a divine object forged by Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi, and it's made of Shoushan copper. It's truly a rare treasure. You know, the Xuanyuan Sword of yesteryear was forged from Shoushan copper, and it was the most powerful divine weapon in the upper realms, capable of slaying demons and monsters with unparalleled power."

Xuanyuan Huangdi!

If this bronze mirror was simply made of Shoushan copper, it would not be considered a peerless treasure. However, since it was made by Emperor Huangdi, it is completely different.

You should know that in this world of Yama, Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi, as the first of the acquired immortals, has an extraordinary origin. He is the incarnation of the Great Emperor of Ziwei Beiji, one of the Four Emperors, in the human world.
The magical objects cast by such great figures have infinite uses.

Lu Shang reached out and touched the bronze mirror in the box. The mirror was nine inches in diameter, with a crouching Qilin carved on the handle. The four corners of the mirror were decorated with tortoises, dragons, phoenixes and tigers, and the eight trigrams corresponded to the four corners, and outside the eight trigrams were the twelve zodiac signs.

The most peculiar thing is that outside the Chen Xiao, there are twenty-four characters written on the outline of the mirror, with distinct dots and strokes. Some of them look like the Red Book True Text, the Three Yuan True Text, the Five Talismans of Lingbao, the Golden Book and Jade Characters, and other great Dao True Texts, which are extremely obscure and difficult to understand.

Yang Lin continued, "Look at this bronze mirror. When Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi cast the mirror, the first one was one foot and five inches in diameter, modeled after the full moon on the fifteenth day of the lunar month. Each subsequent mirror was one inch smaller. This one is nine inches in diameter, so it must be the seventh mirror."

"It is indeed miraculous,"

Lu Shang tapped the mirror lightly with his fingertips. The bronze mirror trembled and made a crisp knocking sound. The lingering sound echoed around and did not disappear for a long time.

Seeing that Lu Shang finally understood the value of this mirror, Yang Lin said, "Fei Xiong, I was a little worried about you going to Baidaochuan."

"After all, although you possess martial prowess, you lack the ability to master the Daoist magic, making it difficult for you to resist the harmful effects of witchcraft and sorcery. But with this mirror, all evil will be kept out of your way, and no witchcraft or sorcery can come near you. I can rest assured."

Although he had guessed that the bronze mirror was prepared for him when he saw the three generals each holding something, the way Yang Lin cherished it when he introduced the origin of the mirror still made Lu Shang feel a little uncertain.

So when Yang Lin personally told Lü Shang to bring the Heart-Reflecting Mirror into Baidaochuan, Lü Shang was shocked and asked, "Your Highness, are you going to give me this bronze mirror for self-defense?"

Yang Lin nodded and sighed, "Of course I'm giving it to you for self-defense. If I hadn't seen this mirror as a great asset for avoiding danger and bringing good luck, subduing demons, and subduing evil spirits, and if it hadn't been of great use to you on your journey to Baidaochuan, how could I have condoned the Jingzhao Prefecture's plundering and not spoken out against it?"

Although the Jingzhao Prefecture claimed that Mrs. Liu had voluntarily sold the heirloom to the court, Yang Lin was not foolish and naturally knew the seriousness of the matter. However, Yang Lin was attracted by the bronze mirror's ability to ward off evil spirits and turned a blind eye to the dirty tricks.

Lü Shang accepted the mirror, feeling both grateful and heavy-hearted. He already knew how precious the mirror was, and he also understood that Yang Lin had placed great hopes on him by giving it to him.

He held the bronze mirror in both hands, looked up at Yang Lin, and said solemnly: "Thousand Years of Love, Lu Shang will remember it in his heart."

Yang Lin said, "Fei Xiong, I have long considered you a member of my Yang family. Everything I do and think is for the Yang family's kingdom and people. I also hope that you will prioritize the Yang family's kingdom in the future."

What else could Lü Shang say at this point? He could only reply, "My Lü family has become prominent because of Your Majesty. Your Majesty has not looked down upon us, the Lü family, and has still bestowed upon us generous gifts. This is a great favor, and I, Lü Shang, am deeply grateful. How could I dare not repay your kindness?"

Lü Shang emphasized Yang Jian's kindness and expressed his gratitude for Yang Jian's generosity. This was not false; Yang Jian was indeed very good to the Lü family. However, while Lü Shang repeatedly emphasized Yang Jian's kindness, he might have been thinking about cutting ties with Zhu Po Long in the future when he killed his father.

Yang Lin was unaware of Lu Shang's private thoughts. Seeing Lu Shang's sincere words, he was also very relieved and said, "With your words, I can rest assured even after a hundred years." After thinking for a while, Yang Lin whispered, "One day, you will set out for Baidaochuan. You have never led troops and do not know the art of war. The reason you are the vanguard is because your martial arts are superior to those of Wei Cheng and others."

"Marching and fighting cannot rely solely on force. We also need to delve into the art of deploying troops. For this, you'll need Wei Cheng and the others to help you."

"It's said that Wei Cheng's family inherited a copy of 'Wei Yan's Art of War.' Xin Yongfeng was born into a prominent family in the Southern Chen Dynasty and had been familiar with the Three Strategies and Five Strategies since childhood. Shang Silang was a beloved disciple of Master Ning and had long since learned Master Ning's methods of deploying troops and forming battle formations."

Yang Lin said, "You should use these three people freely. Don't be restrained by their good fortune. It's precisely because they have had good fortune in recent years that you should use them with more confidence."

Lu Shang replied: "Yes,"

"Generals Wei Cheng and others are all very outstanding military talents. With their assistance, I believe you will be able to defeat Bai Daochuan and buy enough time for the army in the rear."

Yang Lin silently calculated the time and said, "One month at most. You only need to hold on to Baidaochuan for one month, and I will lead the army to Baidaochuan."

"Can you hold on?"

Lü Shang said frankly, "Your Highness, I'm not exaggerating, but if even Lü Shang can't defend Baidaochuan, who in the Sui Dynasty can resist the Western Turks' advance northward?"

Today, Lu Shang actually has the same martial power as Li Yuanba did in the battle of Siming Mountain, and is even more terrifying.

Li Yuanba has the spirit of the Garuda, so he appears to be fierce and invincible.

Lu Shang, on the other hand, had the blood of Gonggong, but he also walked his own path. He created the "Shan Zi Jing" and "Yin Yang Yin" based on the "Jinhua Secret". Compared with Li Yuanba at that time, the current Lu Shang was even more invincible.

After all, Li Yuanba does not have Lu Shang's almost endless physical strength, and he will also get tired.

Lu Shang was different. As long as he was allowed to kill without restraint and without worrying about external interference, he could kill endlessly.

The bloodline of Gonggong is such an unreasonable existence in the mundane world of Jambudvīpa.

Perhaps Gonggong's bloodline itself contains a warlike nature.

Therefore, the Jiang family in the mountains and seas produced so many war gods.

For example, Xingtian dancing with the Ganqi, whose fierce determination and perseverance remain, is from the surname Jiang of Emperor Yan, and Dayu of Jiuli is also from the surname Jiang.

Yang Lin stared at Lu Shang in amazement for a long moment before saying, "When I first met you, I told you that you were too modest and lacked arrogance, which would be detrimental to your future martial arts practice. I never thought you would actually take my advice to heart. A young man is teachable, and a young man is formidable."
