Replenishing the Mirror

It has two wings on its back, its body soars into the sky, floats on the blue clouds, and goes up to the Taishi steps.

The newly released pair of crane wings set off strong gusts of wind, lifting the young man up into the air. It was not fast, let alone flying. At most, it was riding the wind, climbing on the clouds, and climbing up the stairs.

, just like the original mirror-armored centipede.

Qi Jingzhi was surprised and happy in his heart.

In his induction, the pair of crane wings behind him were made of Qinghua Shaoyang as the bones, pine and cypress armor as the flesh, Ruomu Yanghuo as the blood, dragon-like Qiu Qiu as the skin, mirror-armored centipede as the feathers, and so on.

The spiritual objects blended with each other under the refining of the torrent of fire, and completely became one.

The scales of the mirror-armored centipede were originally like black iron and fine steel. After turning into feathers, they became less rough and ferocious, and more elegant and gorgeous. With each movement of the crane's wings,

The first time you stretch and drum, you can hear the armor plates touching each other, making a sonorous sound, which is by no means flashy.

What's especially rare is that his Angry Crane's heart bone and these wings interact with each other, as if he has an extra pair of limbs in addition to his limbs. The crane wings can fly on their own without any deliberate control.

Qi Jingzhi had a new understanding in his heart. It seemed that with just a few thoughts, he could converge these wings into the strange-shaped wing shield with overlapping armor. If he still felt that it was not cool enough, he could use the silver belt of his black robe to

It's not impossible for the black boots to turn back into green grass crane shoes or even green-feathered cranes with angry eyes.

The only shortcoming is that he has not yet practiced the "Secret Scroll of Qingyu" and cannot freely mobilize the energy of Qinghua Shaoyang. Therefore, he cannot truly use the wings of the crane like an arm, and he is always a little sluggish.

place.

As his thoughts rose and fell, Qi Jingzhi was flying higher and higher. He couldn't help but look down and saw the entire Xuandu Temple at his feet. His mind couldn't help but be agitated, and a crane filled with joy and pride suddenly blurted out.

"I would like to use my fairy wings to fly into the sky!"

Since his practice, Qi Jingzhi has been visualizing the fairy feathers and flying cranes. Now that he finally has a pair of wings, he naturally has the desire to fly.

So, while trying to communicate with the crane's wings, he tried to twist his body, trying to change the direction of Yukong.

Unexpectedly, the operation of the crane's wings would be fine if he didn't interfere. Once he started to intervene, the newly obtained wings were twisted into twists, and the whole person immediately lost his balance. His body suddenly tilted, as if it was broken.

Like a string kite, it plummeted towards the Zixu Pavilion below.

Just looking at this posture, it is much faster than when I climbed up just now.

There was a sudden chaos in the flower garden and medicinal field of Zixu Pavilion. The exotic flowers and herbs pulled out their roots from the soil, scattered in a hurry, and huddled together under the surrounding walls.

There were some smart ones among them, who crawled on the ground and ran to Feng Zixu's side, shrinking under the skirt of the Xuandu Guanzhu.

Qi Jingzhi danced in the sky, and finally managed to stretch out the twisted wings of the crane, but in his haste, he still failed to stabilize his body.

Just as he was about to hit the ground, Crane Lu's wings suddenly wrapped around him, and instantly transformed into a pair of bright iron armor, glowing with a brilliant golden light under the bright sun.

"Seeing the light of the sun, the world will be bright."

Feng Zixu chuckled lightly and watched her disciple fall into the empty flower bed and medicine field in a leisurely manner.

If the soul corpse had not been fused with Qingqiu's belt long ago and was also refined into the crane's shoes just now, Qi Jingzhi would have been thrown into the ground and chewed in the mud.

He got up in embarrassment and raised his hand to pat the dirt on his body, but found that he was as clean as new from head to toe, not stained at all.

The Mingguang armor quickly faded away, and the two crane wings formed a strange iron shield again, covering the scabbard of Jianren Shou.

Qi Jingzhi looked at Feng Zixu with a bright smile on his face: "Thank you, Master, for the treasure!"

Feng Zixu nodded and chuckled: "My master has refined the "Blue Feather Secret Scroll" into your pair of crane shoes. It will serve as your manual for manifesting your mind, your mind, and the second realm of the Holy Fetus. From now on, you only need to

Just understand and practice step by step. When you really get started and can absorb and refine the Qinghua Shaoyang Qi, you don't need to deliberately suppress the mind and let it manifest naturally."

Qi Jingzhi naturally nodded in agreement: "To be honest with you, Master, my disciple was not satisfied with one bottle at first, half of the bottle was swaying, and his thoughts were always ready to come out. However, after Mr. Langya and Master's guidance, he realized how shallow he was before.

, especially after learning the humility of "Quegu Shiqi Pian", I always feel empty in my heart, and the previous restlessness has completely disappeared."

"Well, it's not a bad thing to accumulate a lot. As the saying goes, things come from the heart. As long as you keep your mind steady and your Tao thoughts firm, the rest will just fall into place."

Feng Zixu was very satisfied with the attitude of his disciple who was neither arrogant nor impetuous. He thought about it and then said: "Speaking of this Taoist mind, I see that you paid a lot of attention to Soapwood before. I think there is only one friend who has mixed it up."

The Jade Pillow died tragically after being exposed to Sambucus Ajax, and it was also because I received great benefits from the Jade Pillow’s dream.”

Qi Jingzhi was startled when he heard this, and immediately thought of Lu Qiyun.

What he gained from his pillow dream was undoubtedly that he transformed into the ambitious young Taoist priest and experienced a series of power struggles and battles. Although he only had a brief taste of it, he also experienced another kind of life and played a role in the world of mortals.

The effect of refining the mind.

Especially at the end of the great scene in the dream, he clearly realized that I was who he was, completely relaxed his heart, drew his sword and flew into the sky, waved the bright moon in his hand, and killed the Faceless Demon King with one sword strike.

Without this rare experience and insight, it would not have been so easy for him to gather the heart and soul of Angry Crane after he came out of the dream.

In comparison, he learned the knife skills of shaving his head and shaving his face and the passable riding skills in his dream, but it was just by the way, and it was nothing.

Thinking of this, Qi Jingzhi nodded and admitted: "The disciple experienced a dream in the jade pillow, and it was as if he had become another person. He had lived half a life again in a serious manner, and his subsequent actions were more or less different.

Affected by the identity in the dream, I have called myself by that identity in front of others more than once."

When Feng Zixu heard this, she frowned and shook her head: "Just looking at the Angry Crane's heart and bones, I can tell that your will is quite strong. You can be affected to this extent. Just the Huanxin Jade and the Soapwood can't."

It can’t be done, even with the help of Duke Qinghong and even the divine power of the White Immortal Sect, it’s absolutely impossible, and it’s almost the same if it’s replaced by Huaimencao!”

"There must be something weird about that jade pillow! Since the little girl of the Mu family told you about dismantling the jade pillow, didn't she say anything else?"

Qi Jingzhi thought about it carefully and said hesitantly: "She also said at that time that I dreamed of thousands of mountains and an arrow in the window. Sometimes dreams are not just dreams. She also warned her disciples that as a monk, you cannot take dreams lightly, otherwise

Maybe one day I will fall asleep and never come back..."

The more Qi Jingzhi talked about it, the more frightened he became. At first he had little knowledge and did not take Mu Yingxian's advice seriously. Now that he thought of these words, he immediately thought of Ding Lingwei.

Seeing the strange expression on the young man's face, Feng Zixu seemed to have guessed what he was thinking. He nodded lightly and said: "There are many strange and unpredictable secret places in the Wuji Wilderness. In addition to the Mirror Country mentioned by my teacher before, this Dreamland is also one of them.

one."

"According to legend, after Taoist ancestors opened up the land of Wuhe, the dreams of all living beings were reflected in the Wuji wilderness, and gradually gathered into a mysterious place, which is called Dreamland, and is known as the place where the dream souls of all sentient beings in the world return."

"Originally, this was nothing, but in the past thousand years, some bad changes seemed to have occurred in the Wuji Wilderness. All kinds of external demons that blocked the way became more and more restless. Among them, the dream ghosts and nightmare monsters came out of the dreamland.

The harm is especially serious. Once they invade the dream, at least the thoughts in the mind and even the soul of the dream will be swallowed up, and the person will become stupid and stupid. At the worst, his own spirituality will be pulled into the dreamland, and he will not even have the chance to reincarnate."

The more Qi Jingzhi listened, the more frightened he became. He never thought that he could encounter such danger even in his dreams.

He thought about it carefully, and it seemed that except for that pillow dream, the last serious dream he had was the night when he killed Chen Er.

The dream that night seemed to be extremely long, which made him very tired after waking up, but he could not remember what he had dreamed about. But before he had time to think about it, he was startled by Lu Yunzi who suddenly spoke, and

The dream was completely forgotten.

Feng Zixu was used to his disciple wandering around in the sky from time to time, his thoughts racing. When Qi Jingzhi turned around, he continued angrily and funny: "As for whether Ding Lingwei was lost in his dream, it is not yet certain. After all, Wuji is

There are many similar dangerous places in the wilderness."

"In short, the so-called constant concentration of the mind and the perseverance of the Tao is by no means a useless empty talk. It should be remembered and followed at all times. Even if it is a dream, one must remain alert."

"Especially after you manifest your mind and ascend to the spiritual platform, there will be only the Wuji Gate between you and the Wuji Wilderness, so you must be even more careful. Speaking of this, the monks from the Cangyue Temple family like to use poems and verses

One of the poems that declares Zen principles is the most vivid."

Feng Zixu suddenly stopped to try his luck, and there was a bit of reluctance on his face. It was obvious that he didn't want to pronounce the Buddhist verses, but he had to do it in order to teach his disciples.

Then I heard her chanting softly: "The body is like a Bodhi tree, and the mind is like a mirror. Always brush it diligently to prevent any dust."

"Bodhi tree? Mirror stand?"

Qi Jingzhi felt that he had become more knowledgeable. Just as he had heard Deng Fuqing mention it before, Buddhism in the heart and bone is to integrate the talents of all the concubines, to open up the blessed land of love, and to plant the seeds of the heart pearl and Taoism.

Based on this inference, the "Bodhi Tree" should be the root and sprout of the Heart Bead Tao Seed, which grows into the form of the mind. As for the "Mirror Stand", it obviously corresponds to the Spirit Stand in the third realm.

While the master and the disciple were studying Buddhism, a small bronze mirror suddenly emerged from the palm of Qi Jingzhi's left hand, and immediately turned into a stream of light, shooting towards the flame of the furnace that was dying out.

At the same time, a pearl as big as a goose egg quietly flew out of the furnace, and was immediately caught by the small bronze mirror.

Seeing that he took the mirror without asking and swallowed the pearl in one gulp, Qi Jingzhi immediately looked at Feng Zixu, fearing that his master would be angry.

"This is the pearl in the mind of the Mirror-armored Centipede. It is tied to its soul and essence. If your mirror does not lock demons but only refines them, this clan will be completely wiped out."

Unexpectedly, Feng Zixu just sighed softly, shook his head and said: "Originally, I wanted to give this dead remnant a chance to reincarnate, but I didn't expect that your companion weapon spirit would not let you go. Sigh, who made it happen before?

If I kill you, I'll take the blame for myself."

Qi Jingzhi couldn't help but be silent. According to his true intention, he hoped that the small bronze mirror was really the magic locking mirror.

He turned to look at the small bronze mirror hanging above the furnace, and immediately noticed that it was different from the past.

It turned out that this time, the mirror did not swallow the pearl completely, but left half of it outside.

Now the half of the pearl outside is melting rapidly, like flowing moonlight, seeping into the cracks on the mirror surface.

"This is……"

Qi Jingzhi's eyes widened immediately. The pearl in Mirror Armor Tian Centipede's mind could actually repair a small bronze mirror?

He couldn't help but take a few steps forward to take a closer look, and saw that in just a few moments, the mirror-armored centipede's pearl had completely melted away. The cracks on the mirror were still there, but they seemed to be a little lighter.

The next moment, the shape of the pearl still appeared in the mirror. It still looked like a complete one, but it was almost transparent and no longer had the moonlight-like brilliance before.

A string of small characters condensed in the smoke revealed the origin of the bead: "Moonlight corpse, toad light and osmanthus shadow, condensed into beads, the body dies and the energy is exhausted, leaving its body empty, cold in nature, sweet in taste, non-toxic, see the moon
