08252-greeting

The national teacher's line of sight fell on the only mirror in the room that simply reflected the scene in the room. Suddenly, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he suddenly turned his head to look at me.

I fell in front of the mirror curiously, and didn't see my figure appearing in the mirror, but the national teacher's line of sight followed my movement accurately.It seems that he does not see me through the mirror, but gets the power to see me directly from the mirror.

I turned to face the national teacher and greeted him friendly: "How are you?"

The national teacher's expression was full of fear and excitement, but I couldn't see the details, because the folds and beard on his face were too obstructive.

National Teacher: "Are you... the companion of Brother Duan?"

Me: "Yes. But he probably doesn't know that I'm here too."

National Teacher: "Your state is indeed different from Brother Duan's...very different...you don't have flesh and blood, you are just a mirror image."

The half-ticket I imitated did partly adopt the logic of the ghost.

Me: "Why is there no national teacher at the level of Duan Yanzhou's contact? Why is Duan Yanzhou only guessing about your existence? Since His Majesty believes that the national teacher can bring good weather and prosperity to the country and the people, why didn't you give it to me?" What about your public glory, which allows you to receive the gratitude of the people of the country? You know, when many people feel the same way about the same person, that person gains strength."

National teacher: "But I will also be bound. Then I will be crucified in the position of national teacher. I will either sacrifice myself for this country, or die with this country. Only relying on the power of heaven and earth is freedom. of."

Me: "But between heaven and earth, people are included."

National Teacher: "Then do you think Brother Duan Yanzhou will be willing to take over my position as National Teacher? Although he will not be admired by all people, although he can only pray for blessings in a place where no one sees him for a long time, although the emperor relies on me and is wary of me , although I will definitely die badly, but I can still enjoy the glory when I am alive. The material I get is second only to the emperor, and even half a grade higher than that of the empress."

Me: "Whether Duan Yanzhou is willing, you have to ask him, probably not."

The national teacher smiled: "Thank you for your frankness."

Me: "What do you want to do to Duan Yanzhou with the sacrifice of Li Mangwei?"

08253-Spirit

National Teacher: "Have you observed me for a long time?"

Me: "I mainly see the picture in your mirror. Including what is being shown now, and what has been shown before." I can poke into the mirror and let the mirror play the past records for me individually and quickly.

National teacher: "Do you know why these mirrors can see all the world and people's hearts?"

Me: "Is it related to sacrifice?"

National Teacher: "Yes. Every additional mirror means that a national teacher has sacrificed himself before death. These sacrificers have obtained eternal life in the mirror, but they have also become the tools of the subsequent national teachers, and they will never be detached. "

Me: "What if the sacrifice is not made before death, or the mirror containing the residual consciousness of the national teacher is destroyed?"

The national teacher: "If you don't sacrifice, you will be swallowed by ghosts after death, and the mirror will be destroyed, but a new mirror will appear. The soul of the national teacher is not parasitic in a certain mirror, but randomly found a mirror as a facade , this façade is ruined, just find another one. Anyway, as long as the line of the national teacher is not cut off, the mirror of the national teacher will always follow the latest national teacher; and if the national teacher has no successor, the mirror of the national teacher will gradually Lose self-awareness and become a ghost."

Me: "Except for the lineage of the national teacher, how did other ghosts come into being?"

The national teacher looked at me strangely: "People who hold grievances, hate, and die unwillingly can easily turn into ghosts. This palace is the biggest den of ghosts in the world."

Me: "Have you seen many ghosts with your own eyes? Why can this most normal-looking mirror help you see me? Is it also the one that helps you see ghosts?"

The national teacher: "This is the mirror I choose to house my soul in the future, that is, my coffin. Now only I can use it. I can see the souls of other worlds through it, including those who died in this world, including those who exist. A living being in another world."

National Teacher: "Every mirror here, when its corresponding national teacher was still alive, first learned to reflect the non-living soul, so when those national teachers died, when the mirrors became tools in the hands of the new national teacher , and it is easier to see dead things than living things."

National Teacher: "That's why I noticed Cultivator Duan early on. He is not from our world. Our world should not have him. His nominal mother in this world should have given birth to a dead man when she gave birth to him. Infant, he replaced the identity of the dead infant and obtained the title of living person in this world, but he himself, from body to soul, does not belong to this world."

Me: "I didn't see the picture of Duan Yanzhou when he was born in this world in the mirror. Can you play it for me to see?"

National Teacher: "I haven't actually seen it either, but it's easy to speculate."

Me: "Oh. Will Li Mangwei die?"

National Teacher: "Everyone will die. Every generation of our national teacher has worked hard to avoid death and achieved certain results, but we will still die someday in the future."

08254 - don't care to know

Me: "I'm lying. You pay so much attention to Duan Yanzhou, isn't it because you think you can completely get rid of death through Duan Yanzhou?"

National teacher: "There is such a hope, but it is too slim, so there is no need to say more."

Me: "You don't want to answer me directly about Li Mangwei's life and death, so would you like to talk about her eyes? Is she really blind from birth, or are her eyes used as sealing props and artificially created blindness?"

National Teacher: "I saved her. She should have died at the age of five. Isn't it worth sacrificing a pair of eyes for an extra ten years?"

Me: "But you didn't ask her opinion before making the deal, and she didn't get multiple-choice questions about whether it's worth it or not."

National teacher: "No one asked me for my opinion when I was on the road of national teacher. In this world, where a person should be is determined from birth, and people only need to obey."

Me: "My projection is more solidified here. Every time you answer my questions and explain to me the rules of this world that you understand, I will have another connection with this world. When the connection is strong enough, Can you use me like Duan Yanzhou?"

Me: "Duan Yanzhou's connection with this world is also gradually established, and his connection is strengthened through books. Duan Yanzhou was almost caught when he was peeking at a book, but he was not really caught. Is it due to you? You are the one who caught him by the layout, and you are the one who left room for the layout to escape?"

National teacher: "That's right."

Me: "You don't care that I understand you more and more deeply, because the more I know, the more likely I am to be your substitute? To be trapped in the mirror instead of you? To bear the bad luck of the national teacher's line instead of you? Or to help you?" You swallowed the energy of the former national teachers in the mirror, so that you can be greatly strengthened to the point where you can leave this world?"

Me: "You don't care how much I know, because this method can only be used by the national teacher. I can't steal it, and I can't destroy it. Even if I tell the whole world and make the whole world believe that you are using this method, it will not be shaken." Are you progressing at all? Are you already half out of this world?"

The national teacher didn't answer, he just looked at me with a smile and said, "Friar Pei Lin, I also hope you like the sacrifice I gave you."

Me: "How do you know my name?"

In a flash before my eyes, I appeared next to Li Mangwei again.She was staying in a corner of the room, sitting with her knees hugged, and her body would tremble slightly if there was any sound around her.She may still not know what it means to sacrifice, but she already instinctively senses the fear.

Maybe I fell by her side not only because of my lack of skills and shaking hands, but also because Li Mangwei hides a medium for the national teacher to communicate with other worlds and escape the rules of this world.

08255 - dangerous attempt

I tried to let the spiritual power touch Li Mangwei's eyes under the condition of blending with the surrounding environment as much as possible.She didn't notice, but I found nothing.

I gently took off a metal leaf on the bracelet that Li Mangwei is wearing now, and then inserted a leaf with the same appearance as that leaf in place.The fake leaf I gave can only be used by Li Mangwei, who can take her to achieve a teleportation, as long as she strongly thinks "I want to get out of here", it will start.The selection conditions for the teleportation point are: no space energy barrier, being able to stay away from the danger before the teleportation, and there is a power that can protect her near the point of entry.

Maybe she'll end up near me then.

I left the palace to find Duan Yanzhou.

After I entered this secret realm, my consciousness was divided into two, half in the circle and half here; and after the national teacher drove me out of the mirror room, half of the consciousness that entered this secret realm was divided into two again, becoming A quarter is in the mirror room, and a quarter hangs around at will.

The national teacher can find half of me, but it seems that he can't find a quarter of me.He vigilantly checked the mirror room many times with his scheduled coffin mirror, and a quarter of my consciousness turned into a small reading group and stayed above the coffin mirror, but it did not arouse the slightest suspicion.

Pei Kong: "Are you sure that the one-quarter of your consciousness is occupied by that ball? Are you sure that one-half of it stays in the circle? Your chatter is all focused on going to find Duan Yan Zhou’s quarter consciousness, this one is your main consciousness, right?”

How can you use words as the sole criterion for master consciousness?The big head must stay in the circle, it is easier to contact the main world than here, and it is more suitable to be my safety guarantee.

Of course I don't deny that the quarter where I fly to Duan Yanzhou is the most active, but active and powerful are really two different things.

Xiao Sui accused Fellow Daoist Kong: "You should praise Master. When faced with such a sudden expulsion from the National Teacher, Master can still leave a quarter to continue to monitor the enemy and study the mirror. This resilience is really amazing."

Pei Kong: "Isn't that because Pei Lin got used to being kicked out, and he reserved a backup with rich experience early on?"

Xiao Sui: "Can this backhand be used in front of Elder Huigu?"

That must be...not possible.

This thing mainly relies on spiritual consciousness, and it is already dangerous for me to divide into three in the outside world. I am just betting on the protection habits of the circle and the national teacher will only play heresy ways, and cannot confront me head-on, so I took the risk Try it once, in case you are too blind in the future when you have to fight like this before becoming a god of transformation.

But playing this in front of a spiritual expert like Elder Huigu, even if I declare in advance that I am training, I can only be thrown to the Disciplinary Office for a report as soon as I start.
