"Back then, during the battle with Shanyue, there were many witches and witches in Shanyue, driving away miasma, snakes and insects. The army issued these talismans to resist witchcraft. This talisman saved my life. Now it has lost its divine light, just like a piece of broken paper. This is its
two."
"The better the mountain, the better it is with animal bones, feathers, and colored glaze. I killed people and looted these valuables from the corpses. This is the third one."
"Tomorrow I will take this piece of glass and tell your second uncle that Xiang Ping picked it up from the river. Regardless of whether Li Yesheng saw it or not, we insist that it is just a piece of broken glass, but it just flickers in the moonlight."
Li Mutian took out a piece of broken glass, put the items away, and whispered to Li Tongya.
"Father is thoughtful." Li Changhu nodded, "Second uncle is a generous man, understands the overall situation, and doesn't care about anything."
"It's a pity that Li Yesheng is a waste." Li Tongya said softly, turning his head and looking at his father.
Li Mutian picked up the glass, placed it on the wooden table, and shook his head.
"Now we have to see how this treasure is used, and how to use it. Maybe it will be all in vain."
Lu Jiangxian listened all the way in the mirror, and had some thoughts in his heart. He couldn't move in the mirror. Whether it was protecting himself or escaping from the mirror, if he wanted to find a path that he could take on the long road to immortality, he had to use help.
The human and material resources of this land and water.
The Li family came from a peasant family and had little foundation, but a few of them stood out.
His father, Li Mutian, was courageous and knowledgeable, his eldest son, Li Changhu, was smooth and generous, his second son, Li Tongya, was brave, smart, decisive and brave, Li Xiangping and Li Chijing were also smart and clever people, so they were the perfect choice for their union.
What's more, he has no arms or legs, can't walk or run, let alone changing people. Could he be silent and thrown into the river again as garbage, and be silent for a hundred years like a prisoner?
"No matter what, let's go to the east and take a look first, even if it's just from a distance." Thinking of this, Lu Jiangxian activated the airflow in his body to surge towards the upper left corner of the mirror body.
In the house, the Li brothers fiddled with the jianzi for a long time and found nothing. They were careful not to damage it and lose the immortality. The moonlight felt as cool and comfortable as water to the touch, but they could not be blown or inhaled.
Until Li Xiangping picked up the mirror and touched it gently on the mirror, Lu Jiangxian's luck moved, and the upper left corner of the mirror suddenly lit up. Li Xiangping was so frightened that he trembled and called out repeatedly, neither taking it nor putting it down.
Li Tongya took a closer look and saw a bright white arc of light shining in the upper left corner of the mirror. It was thin on both sides and thick in the middle. It was really beautiful. It slowly dimmed after taking a few breaths.
"Brother, it's on!" Li Xiangping said excitedly in a low voice.
Li Tongya took the jianzi and followed Li Xiangping's example in stroking the mirror, and sure enough, a white light lit up. He handed the jianzi to his father's hand and gestured to do the same as him.
Li Mutian and Li Changhu both stroked the jianzi and praised it.
Li Tongya sighed softly, took the jianzi from his eldest brother, turned his back to everyone and stroked it.
"Father, no matter where you touch this object, the light it emits points to the north. Just like..." Li Tongya looked at the jianzi in his hand and spoke solemnly.
"Si Nan." Li Mutian nodded.
Lu Jiangxian in the mirror couldn't help but applaud, this guy is so smart, he can do it all with just one click!
"Go to the village entrance first."
Li Mutian stroked his beard, then turned around and entered the house, greeting several children.
"Bring me a bunch of bacon and let's go visit sir."
————
Li Yesheng wiped his eyes and entered the front yard of his house, kicking the stones on the road while cursing.
"What kind of treasure are you carrying? A few melons are regarded as treasures, and a few turtles are holding knives to look at them in the middle of the night. They have ghosts in their hearts!" He sat on the stone and felt something in his heart.
"Li Mutian has been out fooling around for more than twenty years, and he has a lot of good things! It's not like he has treasures." He quietly calculated.
"It just so happens that those turtles are so stubborn that they can't even squeeze the mud out of their fingers. The old man is so old and stubborn that he won't even open his mouth. Otherwise, if Li Mutian dies, we will all have a share in everything!"
Li Yesheng tilted his head and looked at the courtyard door. His younger brother Li Yesheng timidly entered the door. He glared and cursed loudly:
"Get over here, kid!"
He grabbed his brother's clothes and threw them in front of the house. Li Yesheng rolled on the ground in a panic, huddled in fear.
"I heard that you have a good relationship with that bitch Li Xiangping. Tomorrow you go to his house and steal two melons to eat." He cursed fiercely.
————
Li Mutian walked with three children from the end of the village to the end of the village. On the way, a villager resting on the threshold smiled and greeted:
"Uncle Kida! Where are you going~"
"Send something to sir!"
Li Mutian smiled and lifted the bacon in his hand.
Arriving at the entrance of the village, Li Mutian looked around, patted Li Tongya and Li Xiangping on the shoulders, and whispered:
"go."
The two of them understood each other, bent down and quickly disappeared into the thick reeds.
Li Mutian looked into the distance worriedly, and his eldest son couldn't help but remind him:
"I should have told the two of them long ago that if there is anything supernatural, they should retreat when they see it from a distance and not linger."
"There is a sense of propriety on the cliff."
Li Mutian squinted his eyes, and all his calculations came to mind like a fleeting glimpse.
He understood that tonight he might lose two children, but still have Li Changhu as his heir. But the children might return safely and bring opportunities for the Li family to prosper. He felt deeply painful guilt and clenched his fists.
"Two hundred years."
The Li family has been on this land for two hundred years. Faced with possible opportunities, Li Mutian rationally made a choice that was in the interests of the family, but he was emotionally painful.
"Brother Li!"
The courtyard door suddenly opened, interrupting Li Mutian's thoughts. Mr. Han Wenxu looked at him blankly with a small bowl in his hand.
"gentlemen."
A hearty smile appeared on Li Mutian's face, he strode to the stage and placed the bacon on the wooden platform.
"How embarrassing." Han Wenxu smiled and nodded.
He took the bacon, broke off a piece and cut it into small plates, fried the pickles and served them on small plates. The two moved the small table, poured two small cups of rice wine, sat in front of the door and started chatting.
"The immortals who come and go in the sky are not here." Li Mutian took a deep breath and showed a relaxed look.
Han Wenxu shrugged, then replied with admiration: "Immortal!"
"When I was twelve years old, an immortal came to town." He pursed his lips and said melancholy:
"He said he was looking for someone who could enlighten him. Of the more than a thousand children in the town, he only found three enlightened people and took three of them away. Nowadays, among the immortals who come and go in the sky, some of my fellow villagers may be included.
"
"Immortal fate is rare!" Li Mutian was silent for a long time and consoled him.
"Immortal fate is rare, immortal fate is rare..."
Han Wenxu stared blankly at the moon in the sky and kept repeating these words.
The two of them had their own thoughts and were silent in worry.
