Jackie Chan Adventures: I, the Mirror God, Master of Fear

Chapter 2 Millennium

At the gate of a famous mountain and ancient temple.

An old man wearing a Taoist robe, with long silver hair and looking like an immortal, looked up at the corroded gate.

There was a hint of emotion in his eyes, and the old voice on the phone seemed even more nagging: "One more thing, don't hang up the phone, Dad needs to chant a spell."

【And one more thing】

Tang Chen quickly interrupted his father's increasingly long-winded instructions: "Old Haha, I don't plan to hang up."

[Of course Dad knows, Dad is just reminding you.]

A hint of helplessness appeared in Tang Chen's eyes. "Okay, okay, I'll remember this. I really don't know where you got this information from. How did you know I was going to pass by Fengdu? Otherwise, I wouldn't have made a special trip just for your dream."

[Dad is contacting old friends in China one by one, you are the third one.]

"Oh?" Tang Chen stepped into the famous mountain and ancient temple.

He lowered his head and saw some Buddhist scriptures on the temple floor, but they were soaked by the accumulated water.

da~
Tang Chen turned on the flashlight, and in the empty hall, he stretched out his sigh: "Who did you contact before? Longhorn Beetle? Or Kaiqing? Or..."

[Aiya~ That guy selling magic oil in Kaiqing isn't really Daddy's friend! He's always trying to steal Daddy's business with those lousy puppets!]

Tang Chen's eyes were filled with a smile. "That old fellow created a mischievous Monkey King, saying it was his pinnacle of creation. He even showed it off to us. Did he tell you about it?"

[No! One more thing. Ever since he poached my customers from my antique shop, I've cut ties with him. Please don't mention irrelevant people in front of me!]

"Who else can you contact? Most of the old guys in the country are dead."

Tang Chen walked through the hall, stopped in front of a huge golden Buddha statue, and bowed slightly.

[Shaolin, Lord's Holy Temple, Wudang, and Longhu Mountain all have Dad's friends. They're not dead yet, they just happen to be not near Fengdu.]

Tang Chen stood up and sighed, "I wish we could get together someday."

Dad also fell silent. This is very difficult. Some people are relying on inheritance to survive. They will not come out unless there is a powerful enough demon to threaten the Dragon Kingdom.

Tang Chen also knew this and changed the subject, saying, "The Buddha statue in the main hall is still there. It seems that the country still has professionals."

[Haha, since there are professionals here, then nothing in this temple should be moved. Let the Mirror God sink underwater as legend has it. I'm afraid those people are half-baked, and that would cause a huge commotion.]

Tang Chen walked towards the gate on the left. The road was a long passage with Buddhist scriptures engraved on both sides.

"Nothing has happened yet, Lao Haha, don't worry, it's okay."

Tang Chen looked at the inscriptions around him and sighed, "Luo Pei is indeed one of the greatest sages of the human race. These broken inscriptions seem to contain some spells. Unfortunately, they are useless now."

The Mirror God possesses the power to transform fear into reality, and can even allow those possessed by fear to spread fear through touch. If you're not careful, the entire world could be consumed by fear. Old Tang, I'm reminding you again: you absolutely must not touch that mirror this time.

Tang Chen was slightly stunned, and put away his relaxed expression: "If that's the case, why don't you come back? You know, I don't have a master, so I may not be able to deal with monsters of this level."

[It's okay, Old Tang. Just prepare what Dad tells you to do, and nothing will go wrong.]

Tang Chen immediately rummaged through the canvas bag around his waist. The light startled the crickets in a cage, and their frightened chirping sounds echoed in the empty hall.

"Mirror, Cricket, the moss under the brim of Fengdu Emperor's hat, this is what seals the Mirror God.

The statue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, the eagle's eyes, and the earthworms are used to reinforce the seal. Old Haha, can you see if anything is missing?

No, it's good.

There was a hint of joy in the old voice on the phone. With these, everything would be safe.

Tang Chen also felt a little relieved: "That's good. Remember to send these things, $500, to me."

"Hey~ Why don't you just go and rob? Of these things, only the eagle's eye is valuable, the others are only worth twenty bucks at most!"

"How can it be stolen so quickly?" Tang Chen muttered, his voice just loud enough for his father to hear. Then he said in a tone full of pain, "Four hundred, no less. I've been looking for it all day."

[Aiya~ You pirate, I made a mistake in choosing friends. Fifty, this is my final price.]

"make a deal!"

[Ouch! Dad gave me too much! You're a profiteer! A famous charlatan!]

Tang Chen and his father were arguing with each other as they passed through a passage and a hall, and finally stopped at the end of the second passage.

"Haha, I'm here."

The lighthearted bickering ceased.

On the phone, Dad's voice was a little serious: "First, see if you can see the mirror god, but don't touch the mirror."

"it is good."

There was something serious in Tang Chen's eyes. Among the old friends he mentioned, he and the theater's longhorn beetle had the lowest magical attainments. One of them was still traveling around the world to perform at the age of eighty, and the other had become a famous Feng Shui master, using his half-baked magic knowledge to make money.

How could he not be nervous when he had to reinforce a monster of this level?

Tang Chen took a step forward and heard his father's voice: "The Buddha statue is still there, so the Mirror God can only affect a few things. Don't be afraid. Your fear will strengthen the Mirror God. Just treat it as an ordinary mirror." "Okay, I'll try my best."

Tang Chen swallowed his saliva and turned his aged face towards the golden octagonal mirror. The moment his cloudy eyes focused on the mirror, his pupils shrank slightly and there was an imperceptible tremor in his voice:
"I saw a demon wearing a golden-red robe. He was very young, with scarlet eyes. He sat on a throne made of three-colored smoke and stared at me. He looked evil yet elegant."

According to records, there are four mirror gods, representing the four major classes of humanity. The one you see should be the mirror god representing the "Shi" class.

"What do I do now?"

"He stood up, he was walking towards me, he..."

[Don't be nervous. Take out the statue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and place it in front of the offering mirror. Hang the eagle's eye on top of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's head. Then]

Under his father's calm command, Tang Chen gradually came back to his senses. He looked at the mirror with a complicated expression and began to make arrangements according to his father's command.

At the same time, the father's curse sounded from the phone: [Demons and ghosts, please leave now! Devil and ghosts, please leave now!]

The green halo gradually spread over the material, and a huge righteous energy continued to echo in this temple, emitting an aura that made all monsters fear it.

There was no surprise and the mirror did not move at all. As the spell continued, the eagle eye hanging in front of the mirror suddenly blinked.

The statue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva also began to emit golden light, floating around Hawkeye, looking like a pair of divine eyes, looking at the mirror with compassion, without blinking.

"Okay, Lao Haha, the mirror is not moving."

[Huh~ That's good. Dad must have been overthinking it. It was Lope who created that place after all. Okay, thanks for your hard work. I'll give you your US dollars whenever you come visit me.]

Tang Chen swallowed his saliva, looked at the mirror again, turned around, and walked out with a somewhat unsteady body, surprisingly lacking some of his immortal aura.

He subconsciously replied, "Old Haha, you don't keep your word. Do you know how much it costs to have a feng shui consultation with me? You wasted two days of my time, and I only asked for fifty dollars, and you're still cheating."

[Dad is not cheating, he just thinks the postage is too expensive.]

"It's ok"

[Huh? Jackie Chan, are you ready to make tea? Why are you taking so long? Do you have a customer? Why are you so clumsy? Let Dad take a look.]

Toot toot.
Tang Chen looked at the hung-up phone and twitched his lips. Whether it was before or now, this old man was still so stingy.
Looking back, Tang Chen's figure became more and more hunched, and he slowly left.
-
And at this time in the Octagonal Realm.

The three mirror gods that were violently rolled into thrones finally regained their original form and were looking at Lin Luo with some fear. They couldn't understand why everyone's strength was drained in this mirror, but they were still unable to resist this boss just like they were outside.

"Sir, will this really work? The eye outside gives me the same feeling as that bastard named Lope a thousand years ago." Niuma asked cautiously.

Tian Xin also carefully agreed: "Yes, our perception has been suppressed now. If he doesn't come back, we may really sink into the Yangtze River forever."

But Zhang Gui didn't dare to say anything and tried his best to reduce his presence.

That wave of temptation failed, but the eldest brother is still the eldest brother. They have no power to resist and will have to obey him in the future.

"Why not? He's afraid of death, whether it's his own death or the death of his great-grandson."

Lin Luo said with some joy, "I have aroused the fear in his heart. After he falls asleep, he will know the consequences of rejection."

"Excellent!" Niuma clapped his hands and flattered him, "Your wisdom is as profound as ever. I admire you."

Tian Xin immediately agreed: "Me too!"

Zhang Gui looked at Lin Luo cautiously, and then he also echoed in a low voice: "Your Excellency is indeed worthy of being called an Excellency."

Lin Luo glanced at Zhang Gui, causing the latter to lower his head quickly, his body trembling slightly.

The four major classes of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans were deeply rooted in the hearts of people two thousand years ago. The God of Fear was condensed by the fear of the human race at that time, and his heart also subtly abided by the class division. This is why the Mirror God is the strongest even though the number of people in the "Scholar" class is obviously smaller.

Because people at that time thought that scholars were the most powerful.

"It won't happen again."

Lin Luo spoke silently, which immediately made Zhang Gui breathe a sigh of relief. He said flatteringly:
"Thank you very much, sir. Thank you very much, sir. I am willing to die for you."

Lin Luo glanced outside and saw Hawkeye staring at the mirror intently, sealing it.

God is watching the mirror, and will report any unusual movement to the other side and suppress it?
Thinking about it, Lin Luo asked, "Do you remember when the relocation team came to move things?"

"Well, it's been about two or three years." Niu Ma thought for a moment and responded immediately.

Lin Luo added: "No, what I'm asking is, according to their date, what year did they come from?"

Niu Ma and Tian Xin looked at each other, both of them had some confusion in their eyes. How could they know? They only knew that the Qin Dynasty had been around for more than two thousand years, but they didn't know how long it had been exactly.

"1997."

At this time, Zhang Gui answered cautiously.

Lin Luo was slightly stunned and looked at him approvingly.

Then his eyes showed deep thought.

As far as I can remember, the demolition started three years ago, which means this year is already the millennium.

And what big thing happened in the millennium?
Of course it is the year of the Lord's resurgence. The dragon is finally going to move from the devil's pit.
