Chapter 4 Mirror Trading

"'天'... '田'... '术'... what does it mean?"

Xu Xuan in front of the mirror was dumbfounded. The characters were indeed similar, but the two seemed to be illiterate?

"Brother, is it possible that there is a god in the mirror talking to us?" Li Qingquan said.

"That's right, it must be like this!"

Li Qingshi held the mirror respectfully and said sincerely: "God, I am stupid and don't know the will of the god. I ask you to go back first."

Seeing that the mirror did not respond, he bravely put it in his arms.

Then, Li Qingshi looked at his brother fiercely and said: "Listen, if the news of the treasure spreads, the two of us will die without a burial place, so we must keep our mouths shut!"

"Yes, brother." Li Qingquan naturally knew that this was a great opportunity for his family to turn things around.

"Don't bring any prey when you go down the mountain." Li Qingquan thought for a moment and said.

The two brothers went down the mountain empty-handed.

"Waste! You are useless. You can't even set traps! You can't even hunt. How can you get married in the future?"

When they arrived at the entrance of the village, Li Qingshi suddenly started to beat and scold his brother, attracting the old ladies and old men at the entrance of the village to watch.

"Li Jiadalang, that's enough. What does a child know? Just teach him a few more times."

At this time, an old man dressed decently couldn't stand it anymore and advised.

"I can't teach him anymore." Li Qingshi was dejected.

"Take your time." The old man stepped forward to help Li Qingquan up and patted the dust off him. "You don't have to use a stick to teach people. The more you beat them, the less they will learn."

"Master, what you said makes sense. Let him learn to read from you tomorrow so that he can make a living in the future."

This old man is the only literate person in the village. It is said that he used to keep accounts for people in the city, and later returned to his hometown to retire.

Seeing the child who was kicked down by Li Qingshi just now, Master Yang still couldn't wipe his face and said, "Okay, I don't care about food and accommodation."

"How dare I eat and drink for free, just order me around."

Li Qingshi smiled and then said to his brother, "Why don't you thank me quickly?"

Li Qingquan understood his brother's intention and pretended to be wronged and said, "Thank you, Master."

Xu Xuan quietly looked at the scene nearby. Clothes could not block the mirror. The mirror looked at the surrounding world from its own perspective.

Originally wanted to speak, but after thinking about it, I thought it would be better to keep a little mystery. After all, my voice is not that kind of particularly deep and mysterious.

It can be heard that he is a young man.

And what if the other party thinks I have an accent?

Xu Xuan couldn't help but think of some accents in his previous life that sounded very unbearable.

"Brother is calm, second brother is smart, both of them are not bad."

Xu Xuan continued to observe the world over there.

After waking up from a sleep, he looked in the mirror again.

However, through the conversation between the two brothers, it was discovered that three days had passed in the mirror world. During these three days, Li Qingquan deliberately asked the teacher some words, and now he has almost deciphered half of it.

"Three days? How many hours did I sleep last night?"

Xu Xuan walked out of the door and saw that everyone in Lizhuang looked normal, so he knew that the speed of time in that world might be different from that here.

"About one to ten?"

It should be so.

Xu Xuan started a new practice again. In the afternoon, he followed Li Hu to the homes of dignitaries to perform rituals to exorcise evil spirits.

"Thank you, teacher, this is a little gift from us."

The housekeeper of the rich family handed over a fifty-liang silver note and arranged a carriage to take the two back.

"On the fifteenth of next month, you will drive corpses with me." Li Hu suddenly said, "Remember the route, the buyers, and the way of dealing with each other. If you can't do it in the future, I will leave it to you."

Smuggling is a capital crime, and it's not like selling vegetables in the vegetable market. Without connections, even if you refine salt, there will be no sellers to buy it.

"Okay."

Xu Xuan couldn't deny it.

After eating and drinking for free for so many years, it is normal to do some work.

Now there are clues to that world. I will slowly explore in the future and find a way out.

Five days later.

Fifty days have passed in the mirror world.

In the back room of the Li family, the two bowed down to the mirror on the table.

After more than a month of study, the two have basically mastered some common words.

"The immortal in the mirror is here, please accept the worship of the believers!"

A wild boar leg and wine are offered on the table.

On the other side, Xu Xuan's mind moved.

A wild boar leg appeared on the table.

The offerings of the believers can really be brought over.

"What a big wild boar leg." Xu Xuan was amazed.

Maybe the level of the mirror world is higher than this side? So the wild boar is bigger.

In the mirror world, the wild boar leg disappeared, and the two brothers were dumbfounded and shocked for a long time.

Li Qingshi was both awed and excited.

He was a man who was unwilling to be ordinary. Faced with such a magical thing, the first thing he thought of was that he might be different.

No matter whether the fairy in the mirror is a god or a demon, as long as he is willing to accept me, I am willing to pay anything.

He has reached the bottom of the valley, what else is he afraid of losing?

On the other side, Xu Xuan took out a thin booklet, which was the first interpretation of Chenzhou Fufa.

This book contains eight spells, the fundamental spell is the Calming Mantra. It is said that if you practice this mantra, you can understand the way of drawing talismans.

They are the hemostasis talisman, the stomachache talisman, the hunting talisman, the detoxification talisman, the fire-calling talisman, the fishing and hunting bait, and the most important corpse-driving talisman and the corpse-fixing talisman.

"Maybe we can establish an exchange channel where others offer and we reward." Xu Xuan had a sudden idea.

Through trading, we can exchange for materials that can allow us to practice.

He plans to send the Chenzhou talisman method over there to see if he can practice it.

If he can practice over there, it means that the level of the world over there is very high, and it also proves that the Chenzhou method can be used, but it is just a problem in this world.

Of course, it is impossible to exchange all the talismans with a wild boar leg.

What if the spell is fake and the other party can't practice it?

You can only blame the other party for being insincere.

"That's it, let's make a nest first, so that we can catch big fish."

At this time, a line of text slowly appeared in the mirror.

"Worship the gods and receive my reward!"

A line of words appeared on the mirror, and Xu Xuan tried to speak in a more popular way.

Then a secret method appeared on the mirror.

The fishing and hunting bait method.

This is not a talisman method, but something similar to a magic trick. Take a bowl of morning dew, mix earthworms and minced meat, then cover it and put it in the altar. Bow three times a day, take it out after nine days, and you can make a magic bait.

Use it for fishing or putting it in a trap. There must be a big thing in the trap.

This spell is different from the talisman method. It has nothing to do with personal Taoism, but with the world. If there is a mysterious power in that world, this spell will work.

"Hurry up, write it down."

Li Qingquan hurriedly took out paper and pen, and wrote down everything whether he knew it or not.

At the same time, Xu Xuan also roughly explained the rules.

Weapons, skills, elixirs, and resources can all be used for offerings. The more precious the offerings are, the more precious the rewards are.

The two brothers kowtowed again.

"Thank you for the reward from the Mirror Fairy."

The two slowly stood up until the words in the mirror disappeared.

At this time, the younger brother also roughly understood the spell.

"This is a fishing and hunting method. We can catch prey 100% of the time."

With this spell, the two can ensure their lives.

Li Qingshi said to his younger brother: "You are smarter. You should practice the spell first in the future. I will use this method to hunt and go to the Qingshan Township market to trade supplies."

In terms of intelligence, he is not as good as his younger brother; in terms of communication, his younger brother is not as good as himself.

Only when the two work together can they have a little self-protection in the world.

One month later.

In the evening, Qingshan.

"Roar!!"

A tiger roared in the forest, and a white tiger jumped out of the grass, sniffed slightly, and slowly walked towards a bush.

Bang!

Suddenly, the white tiger's feet were empty and fell into a trap. The trap clamped its hind legs.

"Awooo!!"

The white tiger struggled violently in pain and was about to rush out of the trap.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

Three arrows shot in succession, deeply hitting the white tiger's forehead. The white tiger died on the spot, and blood flowed all over the ground.

Li Qingshi jumped out of the bushes and said excitedly: "Sure enough, there must be prey. This tiger's whole body can be exchanged for a mansion in the city. No, sell it in batches to avoid being discovered."

If the Heihefang in the city saw it, I guess I wouldn't even be able to drink soup.

"It's not safe to sell it in batches. Muramasa and Heihefang are watching..."

Whoever has a few extra pieces of meat in the village can spread it.

"I want stronger power!"

Li Qingshi's eyes flickered.

But what to exchange?

This kind of magic can't strengthen my ability at all.

There must be a stronger secret method.

"Items, skills, treasures... If you use the family-inherited magic arrows and white tigers as offerings, you should be able to exchange the method of cultivation."

The Li family-inherited archery is a simple martial art. By eating meat to move qi and blood, it can reach the peak of the human body, with a force of 500 kilograms and the ability to see far away without blinking.

In the martial arts world, it is considered a master. In Heihefang, he can at least be a small leader, but it is still not enough to deal with the mysterious immortals.

Of course, due to lack of food, Li Qingshi did not practice to perfection.

"Use the magic bait method to beat the flesh and blood for martial arts training, add magic, and practice with concentration, you can have the power to protect yourself."

Of course, Li Qingshi came to the back room, painted a picture album of the magic arrows and cut and marinated white tiger meat, and recited the newly learned prayer.

"The immortals in the mirror of heaven and earth, the ten directions of the world are also infinite. I am offering now and I am honored to be upheld. I hope the immortals will teach me!"
