Subpoena

The mirror reflected the entire room.

Everything was exactly the same as the real room, but it revealed an ominous smell.

Wei Yuan turned the mirror to one side.

The Buddha statue was an old monk with a hideous wound on his chest, his face full of pain, his eyes closed and chanting, blood dripping, his death was hideous and terrifying, and it was chilling to the heart. The old man who was worshiping the Buddha had a livid face, black eyes, and no whites in his eyes. He only knew how to worship the Buddha devoutly.

Next to the old man in the mirror, there was a man in his early thirties, who was equally gloomy and terrifying.

He also only knew how to worship the Buddha, with blank eyes.

Wei Yuan frowned.

The child in the mirror was normal, but his little face was full of blank sadness, panic and fear.

Combined with the boy next to him who had lost half of his soul and was half human and half ghost, Wei Yuan subconsciously speculated based on the knowledge Zhang Jue had taught him - in modern terms, the mirror represents the opposite world, and the person reflected in the mirror also represents the opposite of a person, a kind of evil spirit, but generally speaking, they can only live in the mirror.

Unless they occupy a human body.

Now it seems that the child who first came into contact with the mirror has been replaced.

The real child has been deceived into the mirror, and the evil spirit originally in the mirror is in the outer body.

The old monk reflected by the Buddha statue should be a monk attached to the Buddha statue, with cultivation in his body, and he instinctively recites scriptures, causing the old lady and the man in this family, whether they are real spirits or evil spirits, to recite scriptures together at night, at least to prevent people from being replaced by evil spirits and being occupied by evil spirits.

There is sufficient yang energy during the day, and the family is outside, so there is no need to worry too much.

It seems that as long as they look at this mirror from the front, the mirror will find the dark side of their hearts, constantly magnify it, and produce corresponding evil spirits.

But the evil spirits are unwilling to be trapped in the mirror.

They will try to replace people and occupy the body through various means, such as bewitching, deceiving, and frightening.

Wei Yuan was thinking, and suddenly noticed something strange——

After touching the mirror, evil spirits will appear in the mirror.

Evil spirits will torture and suppress people's souls through various means, causing fear in people's hearts.

The residual souls of monks attached to the Buddha statues can suppress people's true spirits and the evil spirits in the mirror at the same time. Both the true spirits and the evil spirits only know how to recite scriptures and worship Buddha, which can prevent invasion. On the second day, the evil spirits in the mirror cannot harm people.

No, Liu Shaoying...

Wei Yuan suddenly thought of the pale university teacher who was unwilling to harm people.

She was the second person to touch the mirror, and she once saw herself in the mirror as an evil ghost.

But what she saw later was her normal self.

She did not recite scriptures in her dreams, and even had self-awareness.

She was said to have "problems" by her mother and husband.

Details that were previously considered normal and ignored emerged one by one.

Footsteps sounded one after another.

Hearing the footsteps, Wei Yuan saw the shadow of the university teacher in the mirror. Liu Shaoying in the mirror was pale and unbelievable, smashing the mirror frantically and anxiously, while Liu Shaoying who walked out next to him, in Wei Yuan's eyes, was pale and blue.

Wei Yuan paused.

He saw the talisman that Liu Shaoying got from Tao Siwen burning slowly in his peripheral vision.

The boy rushed to Liu Shaoying and acted coquettishly: "Mom, you are here."

"Uncle just scared me."

'Liu Shaoying' said gently: "Uncle is playing with you."

"Is that right, Master Wei?"

She looked at Wei Yuan.

Wei Yuan's expression turned cold.

At this moment, the mirror suddenly flashed and appeared in front of Wei Yuan, shining on Wei Yuan's eyes. Almost instantly, Wei Yuan's appearance appeared in the mirror. He was wearing a black buttoned top, which was slightly similar to a training suit, but more refined, with delicate cloud patterns on the bottom of the clothes.

But the originally clear eyes turned black in an instant.

The mirror reflected Wei Yuan.

The evil spirit corresponding to Wei Yuan appeared in the mirror.

Whether it was the evil spirits that had occupied the human body in the outside world or the two evil spirits chanting Buddhist scriptures, they all stopped at this moment, turned their heads, looked at Wei Yuan, and smiled. The dead old monk had a sad face, the blood flowed faster and faster, and the sound of chanting Buddhist scriptures was urgent.

In this case, there was a feeling of incomparable evil.

Evil spirits are born based on the dark and unwillingness in the human heart.

Wei Yuan instinctively activated the Taiping Essential Technique to protect his true spirit, and immediately noticed the old monk in the mirror world. He had previously received the Buddhist beads from the monk who was tracking Yuanjue, and saw the appearance of the two missing monks, so he recognized that the old monk was one of them.

At the moment, it seemed that it was originally attached to the Buddha statue, and now it was absorbed into the mirror world.

Wei Yuan pondered for a moment. Although his magic power was not deep enough, thanks to his past life experience, he could be said to be profound in the understanding and application of pure Taoism. He activated the Crouching Tiger Technique to protect himself, and then the true spirit was wrapped by the Taiping Essential Technique and took the initiative to enter the mirror world.

The mirror world is actually as complete as the real house, and the mirror is just the exit.

Zhang Daoling's magic sword in the sword box behind him hummed softly.

But because of Wei Yuan's signal, it did not explode, but took the initiative to protect the flesh, faintly causing an unhappy tiger roar.

...

'Liu Shaoying' saw that Wei Yuan no longer resisted, and a look of joy appeared on his face. It seemed that because there was an evil spirit in the mirror world, the old monk could no longer restrain it. The two evil spirits in the mirror who were chanting the scriptures actually left their original places and gathered beside the mirror as an exit, staring at the real world outside with greed.

Liu Shaoying's true spirit was in the mirror, and could only barely protect her child. Her face was pale and painful.

And those evil spirits stared at Wei Yuan's body, just as a piece of fat meat.

Wei Yuan took the initiative to explore the world in the mirror. He lowered his head and saw that there was a talisman on the back of his hand. He actually brought the orthodox imperial decree in, emitting red light, merging with the Taoist practice of the Taiping Department to protect himself. He picked up another sleight of hand to avoid sight and walked to the front of the Buddhist hall.

The old monk with a sad face quickly turned the Buddhist beads with his fingers and chanted Buddhist scriptures in a low voice.

The speed of chanting became faster and faster. The monk's face was painful, blood kept flowing out, but he kept moving. Pure Buddha light shone all around, purifying distracting thoughts. However, because it was just instinctive chanting, the Buddha light was so powerful that even the true spirit of mortals would be purified and turned into a puppet that only knew how to chant Buddhist teachings.

Because of this, the true spirit and the evil spirit were controlled together, and the disaster here did not break out in the past half month.

Wei Yuan called out: "...Daoyou?"

The monk did not respond at all, as if he had no idea what was happening in the outside world, and only knew how to chant Buddhist scriptures.

Wei Yuan mobilized his magic power and called out several times, but the old monk still did not respond.

Wei Yuan paused, and at this moment he saw the Buddha statue in the mirror world next to him, and saw the four-character Buddhist verse "Where to see the Buddha" behind the Buddha statue. According to the general understanding of monks, it means that if you chant the sutra thousands of times, you will be able to see the Tathagata with merits, and the old monk in front of you seems to be the same.

The old monk's chanting became faster and faster. Wei Yuan thought of what Yuanjue said, fell silent for a moment, raised his hand and shook off the sword energy, and suddenly split the Buddha statue in half, and the four words "where can I see the Buddha" were also split.

The old monk's chanting seemed to pause.

Wei Yuan pointed at the broken Buddha statue, and said with a magical power:

"There is no Buddha here!"

He pointed at the old monk's heart and said: "I can see the Buddha here!"

The old monk's voice stopped abruptly, his eyes were cloudy, and he seemed to have regained a little consciousness.

He vaguely noticed the Buddha statue that was smashed by Wei Yuan, and murmured:

"… Break the Buddha in front of you, and you will see the Buddha in your heart."

Wei Yuan imitated Yuanjue and answered: "Break the Buddha in your heart, and you will see the Buddha."

The old monk murmured: "… Breaking the Buddha in front of you is easy, but breaking the Buddha in your heart is so difficult."

He forced a smile, but his expression was still solemn, as if he was still holding up his airs, and said:

"The layman has a good Buddha nature."

Wei Yuan said frankly: "I just know this sentence, but I don't understand it, I just recite it by rote."

"Daoyou is..."

The old monk replied: "It's just a broken true spirit, barely living in this Buddha statue, but was taken back home by the donor... Ahem, I wanted to exorcise the demon, but I can't do anything like this. I can only recite scriptures and chant Buddha to delay time. Fortunately, the layman came and saved the lives of this family."

It's easy to say, but it's definitely not a simple matter for a little true spirit to resist the great trend of heaven and earth and recite Buddhist scriptures for half a month.

The old monk wanted to say more, but suddenly his face was in pain. The wound on his chest became more severe, and blood kept flowing out. His soul and true spirit coughed violently. He barely looked around, put his hands together, and asked with expectation: "Excuse me, have you ever seen the soul of a young monk, probably in his twenties, with a round face and a bit of a daze."

Wei Yuan knew that he was talking about the monk who disappeared with him, and shook his head silently.

The old monk opened his mouth, his face was dazed, and then nodded miserably: "So that's it."

"The world is like a millstone, the true spirit is shattered, and there is no way to stay on the earth for a long time."

"It seems that Huixing has returned to the Western Paradise..."

When he spoke, his expression was calm, but his soul and true spirit kept shaking and blurring. It was obvious that he was extremely sad. It took a long time to stabilize, and then a pleading appeared in his eyes, and he said:

"Layman, can you help this poor monk to bring a message?"

Wei Yuan said: "...Please speak."

A little bit of true spirit supported the old monk for half a month. A little bit of light appeared on his palm and sent it towards Wei Yuan, saying:

"My soul was broken, and I should have died early, but there is something I must pass on, so I am still alive."

When Wei Yuan touched the light with his palm, a picture appeared in front of him. It was a young man in a Taoist robe, with a cold expression and light yellow pupils. He said a few words, all of which showed his disdain for Buddhism. He raised his hand and pierced a monk's heart directly, then took the relic, and finally killed the old monk, looking domineeringly.

This is the obsession left by the remaining true spirit. The appearance of the young man who took the relic is extremely clear.

Even the temperament is extremely real.

The old monk coughed and said:

"Please tell the true appearance of this beast to all the major sects and the government in Shenzhou."

He said: "Although this beast mentions Shenzhou, his methods are cruel and he is extremely self-centered. He is a big monster, not a good person. The Shenzhou he mentioned is probably controlled by a group of monsters. We must not let him grow up, otherwise, the people in Shenzhou will inevitably be harmed by him."

"By then, I'm afraid thousands of innocent people will die. No, no."

The old monk with blood in his chest trembled and bowed down, choking:

"Please kill the monsters."

"Subdue the monsters and protect the people..."

Wei Yuan was silent and said: "Of course, I will bring him here."

Hearing Wei Yuan's promise, the old monk exhaled a breath and finally relaxed.

Moving.

Wei Yuan reached out to help the monk up, but when he touched him, the old monk's body broke into pieces, his mind scattered, and the true spirit that had been struggling to support him for half a month could no longer maintain itself, and his soul was completely shattered. Wei Yuan was silent for a long time, with one hand erected in front of him, and whispered: "Amitabha."

"Master, go well."

......…

At this moment, the many evil spirits surrounding Wei Yuan were all excited.

It seems that because this new prey is a cultivator, the newly born evil spirits are extremely powerful.

Wei Yuan returned to his own body.

He opened his eyes and felt the surging thoughts in his heart, and the evil spirit that absorbed his negative emotions was growing rapidly.

This ancient mirror was sparkling, as if to reflect his darkest things.

When Wei Yuan's true spirit returned to his body, he was affected by this breath and his eyes were blurred. He saw a scene that he absolutely did not want to recall again. The shouts and screams shook the sky. He saw the elite Han army rushing into the city and saw familiar faces disappear one by one.

He saw the famous Han general Huangfu Song.

Finally, he saw the yellow scarf fluttering like fire.

Boundless despair and boundless unwillingness were the pain of having to force himself to live even in this situation.

Wei Yuan's eyes were absent for a moment, and then they immediately recovered.

Always clear and quiet, always clear and quiet.

The evil spirit of Wei Yuan, which was taking shape in the mirror, suddenly froze. The vast, magnificent, cruel and desperate scene he had just seen made even the evil spirit tremble in his heart - this was the most resentful and powerless thing in the heart of the young man in front of him, and it was also the darkest thing in his heart, which was clearly conveyed to it.

This was his personal experience.

But, but...

How could it be possible.

In any case, this is an absolutely dark and negative emotion. The evil spirit feels that it is growing rapidly.

It has grown to the point where it is almost bursting.

A look of fear and pain appeared on its face, but the other evil spirits who benefited from its strength did not notice it, but became more and more happy. Wei Yuan knew the state of this evil spirit and exhaled.

It absorbs the regrets and pain of people's hearts, and then becomes stronger...

There is no doubt that there is a limit to this.

And now it is almost reaching the limit.

Wei Yuan no longer resisted, and began to recall actively under the influence of the ancient mirror.

The powerlessness and anger during the Three Kingdoms, the confusion of living alone.

Sharing the great wish with Zulong, and then clearly knowing that Zulong had died.

Countless negative emotions surged and were absorbed by the evil spirit.

The evil spirit was in extreme pain.

It looked forward and suddenly saw Wei Yuan with a calm expression, staring into his deep eyes.

Wei Yuan's thoughts moved slightly, and the vastness and powerlessness of the ancient times when water raged across the earth, strange beasts soared over the mountains and seas, and humans and gods coexisted appeared again, and he took the initiative to pass on this emotion.

This time, the evil spirit's face was completely frozen.

Then, the evil spirit that absorbed darkness for a living suddenly screamed miserably.

Dissipated directly.

The faces of the two evil spirits outside were frozen, and the mother and son in the mirror were also stunned and unbelievable. They saw that the young museum owner in black seemed to just look at the strange ancient mirror for a while, then put the mirror down, and then said calmly:

"The mirror is not bad."

"It's a pity that the quality is a bit poor, it is not qualified to enter my museum."

The mirror was placed on the table.

Click...

Hideous cracks appeared on the ancient mirror with a history of at least 500 years.

There was silence in the mirror and outside the mirror.
