Supreme Golden Palace

Chapter 99 Qingli (Part )

"Little God Qingli, I meet the Mirror Master,"

The vision gradually became clear. In the vast sea of ​​clouds, a divine being with a dragon head and a snake body, wearing a red crown and purple clothes, was bowing to Lu Shang.

Although this divine being did not have a human appearance, Lu Shang felt a sense of purity and elegance when he first saw him.

What is pure and smooth like ice and jade?

His nature is pure and his conduct is upright. Even in this corrupt world, he remains untainted by the slightest dust.

"Lü Shang, I have met the Lord God."

Also in the sea of ​​clouds, Lu Shang immediately returned the greeting.

"Master Mirror, please don't do this. You are the Master of the Mirror of the Heart, and I am the deity within the mirror. How can you offer me such great respect?"

Seeing Lu Shang bowing to him, Qingli stood up and sighed.

At this moment, clouds and mist suddenly rolled up all around.

As the clouds and mist surged, Lu Shang looked down and saw cloud light and purple mist rising from his feet.

Seeing Lu Shang curiously looking at the purple smoke below, the divine being Qingli smiled and said, "Mirror Master, this is the world within the mirror. In this world within the mirror, all appearances are both real and illusory, and neither real nor illusory."

"You enter the mirror with your soul and communicate with me. What you see and hear will be like a dream. When you wake up, your soul will return to your body."

After hearing what the dragon-headed, snake-bodied deity said, Lu Shang suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."

"Master Mirror, please,"

The divine being Qingli had a smile on his face.

Purple air condensed into jade steps under their feet. The god was in front and Lu Shang was behind. The two walked along the jade steps and entered a treasure pavilion.

Qingli stroked her sleeves, pointed at a jade table, and said, "Master Jing, please take a seat."

Lu Shang walked forward steadily, sat upright on the jade throne, and looked around.

Inside the treasure pavilion, the aroma of sandalwood curled up, and the divine man Qingli flicked his wide sleeves. Suddenly, a clear spring appeared beside the jade table, and purple mist lingered on the surface of the water.

"Master Mirror, please take a sip,"

The divine man Qingli took out a jade bowl from his sleeve, bent down to collect water, and after the bowl was full of spring water, he handed the jade bowl to Lu Shang.

"Thank you, God,"

Seeing the purple air floating in the jade bowl, Lu Shang gently took it. The jade bowl was warm to the touch, and a cool feeling came through his fingertips.

He tilted his head back slightly, took a sip, and felt a sweetness spreading on the tip of his tongue, which then turned into a cool breeze and flowed down his throat.

After it fell into my stomach, I just felt drunk and confused. After a long time, I gently exhaled a breath of foul air.

"This is Tianyi True Water, which has the power to harmonize yin and yang and balance the five elements. It will be of great benefit to the Master of Mirror's future cultivation."

The divine Qingli saw Lu Shang exhale the foul air and nodded slightly.

"This water is extraordinary," Lu Shang raised his eyes and looked at Qingli.

Qingli chuckled and said, "Of course it's extraordinary. Taoism says that Heaven gave birth to water, and Tao gave birth to all things. This True Water of Heaven is the treasure of the Five Elements, and has the power to bring about the creation of all things. I have fifteen brothers, and only I have the True Water of Heaven."

"Tianyi True Water,"

Lu Shang held the jade bowl in his hand and took another sip. The cool air entered his throat and spread into his three souls and seven spirits, making his entire body feel comfortable.

When he drank it again, although he did not feel as clear-headed and refreshed as when he first drank it, the fresh air nourished his three souls and moisturized his seven spirits. In his heart, Lu Shang knew that this real water was of great benefit to him.

"It is truly a divine object," Lü Shang exclaimed, "I am humbled by the kindness of the venerable God."

Qingli waved her hand and said, "Master Mirror, you are too polite. You have formed a bond with Zhaoxin and are already the Master of the Mirror. As the Mirror Spirit, I should serve you as my Lord."

"However, I already have a former master, and my former master is still here. I cannot serve two masters. Therefore, I offer the Heavenly One True Water to pray for the Lord of Mirrors' forgiveness."

Lü Shang said sternly, "Your Excellency, please do not worry about this. I have entered the mirror world and have been treated so kindly by Your Excellency. I am already grateful. How dare I ask Your Excellency to serve me as my master?"

Seeing that Lu Shang was humble and had no improper thoughts because of the mirror in his hand, the god Qingli nodded secretly.

"Mirror Master, you should know my origins. There are fifteen of us brothers, all forged by Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi. To deter evil spirits from all directions, Huangdi took the fine copper from Shouyang, mixed it with divine objects from all directions, and used heavenly fire as a furnace to forge fifteen bronze mirrors."

"These fifteen bronze mirrors each have their own unique qualities, capable of subduing demons and monsters."

"When Emperor Xuanyuan returned to his throne, he took my twelve brothers to the upper realm and left me, Zizhen, and Baijin in the human world."

"And allow us to manifest as fate dictates in the four continents of the mortal world, regardless of whether we are human, god, or demon; it all depends on fate. After many generations, the divine beings have faded, and we too do not manifest our spirits, relying solely on the timing of the weather. As a result, the Mirror of Reflection fell into the hands of the fox clan, and Liu Chishui formed a bond with foxes. The precious mirror then passed from the fox clan to the Liu family."

The divine being Qingli smiled at Lu Shang and said, "Liu obtained the mirror because of the fox, and also lost it because of the fox. The gains and losses can only be attributed to fate."

"Every sip and every bite is predetermined."

"The owner of the mirror obtained the mirror because of the Sui Dynasty, and I am afraid that he will lose it in the future because of the Sui Dynasty. I hope the owner of the mirror will use it with caution and not act arbitrarily, which will damage his virtue."

"Lü Shang is taught,"

Upon hearing this, Lu Shang's face turned grim. Everything else was fine, but what Qingli said about gaining because of Sui Dynasty and losing because of Sui Dynasty made his heart sink.

He inexplicably thought of Wang Du, the author of "Records of the Ancient Mirror". In "Records of the Ancient Mirror", Wang Du said that he got the precious mirror from Fenyin Housheng in the seventh year of Daye during the reign of Yang Guang. In the thirteenth year of Daye, the ancient mirror disappeared after making a sad cry in the box.

The 13th year of Daye was the last year of Yang Guang's reign. It is hard to say that Wang Du's disappearance had nothing to do with the demise of the Sui Dynasty.

If there really is a connection, then the magic mirror in Lu Shang's hand might also be lost.

As he thought about this, Lu Shang's vision gradually became blurred, and a feeling of drowsiness came over him.

I felt my eyelids getting heavier and my body became light, as if I was about to be swept away by the vast sea of ​​clouds.

In a trance, he heard Qingli say: "Mirror Master, the time has come. The soul cannot leave the body for long. You should go back."

An endless feeling of weightlessness surrounded Lu Shang. When he regained consciousness, he found that he had returned to the tent, still holding the mirror tightly in his hand.

"Lost because of the Sui Dynasty,"

Holding the bronze mirror, Lu Shang muttered to himself.

Others may not know what this means, but Lu Shang understands the meaning behind it.

Obviously, the god Qingli in the mirror was hinting to him that his fate with the mirror would only last for thirty-two years.

Unless Lü Shang can cultivate great supernatural powers during these thirty-two years, and wait until the fate is over, he can use his great magic power to keep the Mirror of the Heart.

Otherwise, thirty-two years later, the Heart Mirror will die with a mournful wail just like Wang Du’s Disease Mirror.

However, if one truly cultivates great supernatural powers, how could he still be greedy for this precious mirror?

You should know that Xuanyuan Huangdi is Zhaoxin's old master, and Xuanyuan Huangdi has another identity in this world of Yama. He is the incarnation of Zhongtian Ziwei Beiji Taihuang Emperor, one of the Four Emperors.

Just like the Great Emperor Changsheng of the South Pole has an incarnation as the Lord of Thunder and Lightning of the Nine Heavens, Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi is also the incarnation of the Great Emperor Ziwei of the North Pole, both of whom are the first-class great gods in the upper realm.

Who would have such a karmic connection with a figure like Emperor Huangdi just for a bronze mirror?

According to the "Emperors' Annals", the mother of Huangdi was named Fubao. She saw a huge lightning circling the pivot star of the Big Dipper and illuminating the countryside. She became pregnant and gave birth to Huangdi in Shouqiu after 25 months.
