Chapter 3, the Eight Trigrams Mirror(1/2)

Qi Wufei was a very ordinary person in his previous life. He was born, got into an ordinary university, did ordinary jobs, and lived an ordinary life.

Looking back now, it was like having a pretty dream, without the terror of being in the middle of the night, nor the sweetness of laughing at dawn. I could think of a lot, but I couldn't think of anything real.

The mirror was found when I went to an old house in the countryside to sort things out. I thought it was an antique, but I went to someone to identify it. The expert just glanced at it and said that it was fake, and the fake one was too good to be good. There was no such style in bronze mirrors from all dynasties.

Qi Wufei kept putting it on the desk as a decoration and used it from time to time to play with it.

One day, I stayed up late to work and was sleepy and tired, so I said to the mirror: "How great it would be if you were!"

I couldn't stand it in the middle of the night and fell asleep on the table.

After waking up, he came to this world and became a child wandering on the street. A red rope was tied to the mirror and hung it on his chest, like a long-lived lock.

Many times he shouted in the mirror: Let me go back! You fake!

The mirror responded without any response.

He wanted to sell the mirror, but the antique shop did not charge it, and the price given by the grocery store was not enough for him to eat buns.

He had to keep it, at least he thought.

At that time, he was still obsessed with that dreamlike past life.

Until one day, he met an old Taoist who could fly in the sky while stepping on a whisk.

The old Taoist said to him: "Young man, Russia sees that you are a genius of immortal cultivation. If you follow Russia, you will give you the task of maintaining world peace in the future!"

Qi Wufei thought this line sounded a bit familiar.

He only asked one question: "Do you care about food?"

Then he followed the old Taoist from Nanzhanbu Continent to Xiniu Hezhou.

This old Taoist is the incest son who later called his master for twenty years.

The mirror was taken away by his master when he was very young, saying that it was worthy of his apprenticeship fee.

Twenty years have passed, and he has long forgotten it.

Now the mirror has returned to his hands, reminding him of many past events.

Memories are like a hook, hooking his heart like a dry well, hanging a bucket of old stagnant water, rippling with a dull, undissipating sad green.

Something that was indescribable surged from the bottom of his heart and choked in his throat.

Qi Wufei sighed softly.

I can't go back anymore. I went through this life and lived a good life. I picked up a cheap master. Although it was a bit unreliable, I never treated him badly.

Now that I have entered the gate of immortality, work hard, and achieve the right result in the future. With great supernatural powers, I may still have the opportunity to renew my previous relationship and understand the cause and effect of my previous life.

Since the reform of Heavenly Court, becoming an immortal has been much simpler than in the past. It is not that the difficulty of practicing has been reduced, but that the rules for becoming an immortal have become transparent.

In the past, when we practiced, we all practiced their own methods and went through their own kalpas. Finally, we thundered the heavenly way indiscriminately. Whether we can withstand it depends not only on your Taoist practice, but also on your luck.

If you resist, you will ascend to become an immortal, and if you can't stand it, you will be destroyed.

Now there is no more Thunder, but a relatively civilized way of taking exams is used to test the magic power and moral standards of practitioners.

Heavenly Court established the Immortal Examination Institute for this purpose, with Emperor Antarctic Eternal Life personally serving as the dean.

The Immortal Examination Institute abandoned the past names of practice, such as Yuanying, Golden Elixir, Transformation of God, Anti-Virus, Twelve Levels of Towers, etc., which are both complex and irregular, and are no longer used. Now the rules are unified and the immortals are divided into twelve levels:

1-3 grades are immortals;

Grade 4-6 is the earth immortal;

Grades 7-9 are immortals;

The 10th grade is the Golden Immortal;

11th grade is Xuanxian;

The 12th grade is Yuanxian.

The Immortal Examination Institute is only responsible for the evaluation of the human immortal, earth immortal and celestial immortal. The ranks of the golden immortal and above shall be determined separately by the saints.

According to Qi Wufei's understanding, isn't this the corresponding academic exam in his previous life, such as junior high school human immortals, high school earth immortals, undergraduate celestial immortals, and then masters, doctoral students, and postdoctoral students...

Emperor Changsheng was afraid that he did not work in the Ministry of Education when he was experiencing life in the lower realm.

But this is also good, it is simple and easy to remember, and you don’t have to worry about a lot of names you can’t understand.

In addition, the Immortal Examination Institute has also published textbooks, which gives small sects and casual cultivators a relatively fair opportunity to practice.

Qi Wufei has two books on "Introduction to Immortal Techniques" and "Basics of Mathematical Techniques".

As for the more profound "The Way of the Heavenly Immortals", "Advanced Mathematical Techniques", etc., he still can't learn it.

Of course, the big sects still have their own advantages. They have secret techniques inheritance and guidance from famous teachers, and there is no shortage of cultivation resources. Unlike Huanghua Temple, the master disciples who buy a flying sword and have to mortgage them.

Alas, still poor!

He remembered the incident of the Wannian Bat Demon again. The reward from Heavenly Court will definitely not be short!

Unfortunately, he is not strong enough. Even if it really comes to Pansiling, he will at most call the police and get some informant fee. Datou must be from Chenghuangsi or XiandianDi.

It would be great if I could become an official official. Immortal Shield Dept. Issue Hell Department would be good. Even if there are no staff members, I can still get some points.

Qi Wufei felt it was necessary to put the plan to take the Immortal Examination on the agenda.

With his current strength, it is not a big problem to get a first-class immortal, but Master Wu Jizi asked him to endure it. It would be better to wait until his magic power goes up and go directly to the third-class.

Because every time you adjust the grade, you have to pay a sum of money.

...

Qi Wufei thought about it, then fell asleep in the mirror.

In his sleep, he came to a room in a daze.

The house is octagonal, with a door on each of the eight walls.

There is a pool with a diameter of about three meters in the middle of the house.

The pool was misty and an ancient prehistoric aura surged. When you looked closely, you saw the yin and yang energy flowing, dark as deep as the sea, white as bright as the sky, forming a primitive Tai Chi diagram.

The outer ring of Tai Chi Pool is painted on the platform of the pool,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

There are also hexagram symbols drawn on the door, but they are the heavy hexagram symbols of the six lines, which also correspond to the Eight Trigrams "Qian, Kan, Gen, Zhen, Xun, Li, Kun, Dui".

Qi Wufei walked around the wall and tried to push the door, all of which were as if casting steel and iron, and remained motionless.

Only when I was pushing the door with the symbol of Qian hexagram (upper and lower), the lowest horizontal line segment of the six horizontal hexagrams on the door, that is, the first line of the six lines of Qian hexagrams flashed.

Hum? Could it be what mechanism?

Trying to push again, the line flashed again.

He touched the corner of the door, including the six horizontal lines of the hexagram talisman, but he didn't respond much.

Qi Wufei decided to be tough.

No matter what door you have, if you can't push it open, you can use your magic power. I, a dignified half-immortal with a Class C imperial weapon certificate, can't I open a door?

He pressed his palms against the door and recited the Paoshan Mantra. His magic power continued to flow out of his palms and shouted: "Open!"

The door is still motionless.

But the first line of Qian hexagram that had just flashed suddenly emitted a dazzling golden light, which started to light up from the left of the horizontal line segment, and then slowly moved to the right, just like someone was drawing a line with an invisible golden pen.

At the same time, a set of numbers flashed quickly in Qi Wufei's spiritual consciousness: 1, 2, 3...43, 44, 45...

With the output of his magic power, the longer the length of the line lights up, the larger the number.

Because of this strange phenomenon, he actually forgot to collect the magic until his magic power was exhausted, his eyes turned black and he fainted.

Before he fainted, he saw that the changing number stayed at: 250.

...

When Qi Wufei woke up, he found himself leaning on the bed, holding the mirror in his hand.

Did you have a dream just now?

But the body is empty and the feeling of exhausting mana is not fake.

As a practitioner who has achieved some success, he has not dreamed for a long time.

The so-called "The Most Person Without Dreams".

Controlling the subconscious activities of the brain and reducing unnecessary energy and mental consumption is also a compulsory task for practitioners.

Is it related to this mirror?

Qi Wufei picked up the mirror and looked at it. There was indeed a Tai Chi diagram on the back of the mirror, which was surrounded by eight sutra symbols, which looked very similar to the Tai Chi pool in my dream, but was covered by copper rust, so I couldn't see it clearly without careful attention.

No wonder I just felt that the place was familiar. It turned out to be a vague memory left by the mirror I have been carrying since I was a child.

He turned the mirror back to look at the front, and Qi Wufei saw his face.

This is by no means an optical phenomenon, because the copper rust on the mirror is long and it is impossible to see something.

But this face is so clear.
