Chapter 278
In the quiet ward, the person in the wheelchair looked intently at the young man who looked very innocent with his face tilted to the side.
Yan Congzhi slightly opened his lips:
"You know it all."
Ni Yangzhou did not respond, but just looked at him with his clear eyes.
Yan Congzhi didn't know what he was thinking about. Perhaps it was the nearly ten years of friendship between master and disciple, or maybe it was the fragments and afterimages he had seen in the ancient mirror.
The usually cold-tempered man remained silent, and the two of them were like two stone statues, not moving at all.
In fact, Ni Yangzhou hadn't figured out a solution yet. He looked at the other person's face, which was somewhat similar to the one in the world of cultivation, but what flashed through his mind were those young, trustworthy, and handsome faces of the past.
Yan Congzhi's face here is much less aggressive, and different from his original appearance that seemed like a banished immortal created by heaven and earth. Now he still has a slightly curved lip corner and a gentle face, but there is a bit more sadness between his eyebrows. In addition, sitting in a wheelchair, he looks much more noble and has a lot of life in his breath.
Like a Taoist disciple who came into the world to gain experience.
Ni Yangzhou's eyes kept wandering over Yan Congzhi's face and body, making the other person feel more and more uncomfortable, but the young man himself was still thinking.
Think about what attitude you should have towards your "master".
Yan Congzhi closed his eyes. He actually knew a lot, but not too much.
On that day, Ni Yangzhou and Hong Ying were trapped in the ancient mirror. When senior brother Guan Mi received the news, he was preparing to come out to the Northern Territory for support. The words of the ancestor were deeply imprinted in his mind, so Guan Mi went directly to the Northern Territory to find his junior brother and asked him to handle it personally.
Yan Congzhi stayed in the northern border for a long time because he discovered a Mirror Lake.
The place where the legendary monk transcended tribulation and was never heard from again.
A thin and bright lake appeared in the place that should have been burned black like charcoal by the raging fire.
The search for the ancient mirror is not a secret. The older members of the Minghong Sect know something about it more or less. What cannot be told to everyone is actually the information revealed by Guan Miao when he was communicating with the underworld.
The ancient mirror, the soul-catching chain, and the Kunyu long armor were indeed the magic weapons that would be distributed to those who used them in the King of Hell's Palace, but after they were recovered and carefully compared one by one, it was discovered that they were not lost by the underworld.
The news was reported all the way to the King of Hell who was sitting in the palace. After using his divine power to investigate, he realized that it was an alien magic weapon that did not belong to this territory.
The underworld was already overwhelmed by the turmoil before the end of the Dharma era, and there were many cases like this. Moreover, the existence of the realm outside the realm had become an open secret among the high-ranking people in the immortal and ghost worlds. Handing over the Dharma and asking the monks for help was the most convenient and hassle-free option.
According to the news sent back from the underworld, the ancient mirror was originally named Mingde Mirror, which was used by judges to read and report the life stories of souls, and to observe the changes in the fate of past and future lives. All the ten Yama Kings had a share. The raw materials were taken from the blood and tears of the Emperor of Heaven who had gone through 1,710 disasters in his past lives. There are only ten of them. They are located high in the halls, and they are of great significance and extraordinary magic power, and they cannot be copied.
Yan Congzhi followed the clues with his mission to search everywhere. Ni Yangzhou thought that he and his master were looking for the ancient mirror that was sent out, but for Yan Congzhi, his mission was to find the intersection of the external magic weapon sent from the other realm.
In fact, the first thing Yan Congzhi thought of was the fact that his apprentice was given the talisman, but he went to investigate later and found nothing else unusual. The former spiritual gathering place had returned to normal. The master and apprentice, who had traveled all over the continent, did not find any suspicious places.
Until he received news from the sect that something unusual had occurred in the northern territory. From time to time, flickering lights shone on the lake like a mirage, attracting nearby creatures but never bringing out any news.
No news came out, which means that no living creature has ever come out from there.
Yan Congzhi assigned tasks to his disciples and came to the northern border alone. He waited quietly and watched for a long time, and finally discovered the secret.
This Mirror Lake is connected to the ancient mirror that has not yet been found.
When a small insect enters the water, an illusion will briefly appear on the lake and in the sky. A bird falls and enters the lake where the light changes. The illusion changes in a few breaths, and leaves, the rising sun, and the dull bottom of the water flash gracefully.
This is past and present life.
But later, no living creature entered, and the phantom on the lake was still changing. Feng Lan and Hao Ping, who came rushing over, as well as several fellow clansmen, cooperated with their senior brother Guan Miao Zhenren to activate the secret method of preserving the realm left by the ancestor. They were all observing the situation by the lake, and then they saw a person's past and present life in the phantom.
Fragments flashed by, like God extending a finger to pick up people's destiny at will. How many important nodes only exist in the calm daily life, and how many unforgettable experiences are turned over in an instant.
That person had been a butterfly, a swimming fish, a merchant’s daughter, and a soldier fighting for his country.
He had been a small leader who had died a tragic death and whose head was cut off as a sacrifice. A dark-faced soldier came over, and he looked like the young Master Haoping who had stood by the lake and watched the whole process.
——That’s Hongying.
Haoping was not unaware of the cherry tree spirit in the medicine garden who always kept his eyes on him, but he had never thought about love. He just thought that most of the spirits from plants and trees were simple-minded, just like his own disciple Yuanjia. If he couldn't get what he wanted at the moment, he would just make a fuss, but after a long time, his feelings would fade away.
This was the first time he saw himself from the other person's perspective.
Then it becomes an endless cycle.
Hongying thought she had experienced it all, but in the Mirror Lake, what the onlookers saw was the cycle of reincarnation for several lifetimes.
She can't get out.
Everyone was silent. Haoping stood there for a while, then moved his feet and prepared to enter the lake to take action. However, the Mirror Lake was slightly rippled at this time, and the images appeared again. They were several faces that were different from each other, but all had 50% similarities with Yan Cong's charm and temperament.
That was everything Ni Yangzhou saw after being sucked into the ancient mirror.
All of them were respected elders in Minghong Sect. Some of them were even more than ten times older than Guanmiao Guanjiao. They were used to seeing a lot and were not surprised by the different scenery in the illusion. However, all the inside stories revealed made everyone's attention fall on Yan Congzhi who was standing quietly by the lake.
Different from Haoping's fleeting appearance in Hongying's reincarnation.
In Ni Yangzhou's phantom, his face appears in every life and every cycle, at every node of fate.
