Chapter 432 Yin-Yang Mirror
After retrieving the Yin-Yang Mirror, Guo Shiyi had the Great God send them back to Huaxu Village. When they arrived at Guo Shiyi's home, they happened to run into Guo Shiyi's master, Zhao Changyu, and her aunt, Jiang Zhujun, who were looking for Guo Tianming and discussing matters in the study.
Having not seen her master for many days, Guo Shiyi excitedly ran over, grabbed her master's arm, and asked, "Master, why did you come down the mountain?" Guo Shiyi asked this because she knew that her master lived a secluded life and liked peace and quiet. He would never leave Wudang Mountain without a special reason.
"The demon race has been active more and more recently, and people are uneasy. I can't stay in Wudang Mountain any longer," Zhao Changyu sighed.
"What? Are there monsters causing trouble again recently?" Guo Shiyi asked.
Zhao Changyu stroked his beard and said, "Of course there are demonic beasts causing trouble, but that's not the main reason I came down the mountain. The other day, while I was in seclusion, I suddenly sensed the presence of the True Martial Emperor. It seemed that the True Martial Emperor had something to entrust to me, but he didn't know exactly what it was. I felt uneasy, so I decided to come down the mountain. Maybe I can solve this mystery down there."
Zhenwu the Great Emperor is also known as Xuanwu the Great Emperor. He is a highly respected god of the north. It is said that when the founder Zhang Sanfeng dreamed of Zhenwu the Great Emperor imparting the Great Dao to him on Wudang Mountain, he was able to comprehend the Wudang School's unique martial arts of Yin and Yang and overcoming strength with softness. He then founded the Wudang School on Wudang Mountain, and the tradition has been passed down to this day. Zhenwu the Great Emperor has always been the main deity worshipped by the Wudang School, which is why Zhao Changyu cares so much about this matter.
Guo Shiyi said, "The appearance of the True Martial Emperor at this time must also be because of the chaos caused by the demonic beasts."
Zhao Changyu nodded and said, "That's what I thought too, which is why I came to see your father to see if there have been any unusual occurrences recently."
Guo Tianming then continued, "Since you went to Yunmengze, demonic beasts have been appearing in different places every day. Now, the disciples of those sects hidden deep in the mountains have to leave their sects and go down the mountain to exorcise the demons. The Human Security Action Group has also realized the seriousness of the problem and has begun to vigorously cultivate superhumans. More and more universities are adding spiritual studies departments, and some countries are even planning to set up special training colleges for superhumans. I heard that the relevant departments in our country are also working on this." Recently, he has been traveling between various sects and organizations, hardly stopping for a moment. His face is obviously more tired, and he looks much more haggard.
"Uncle Guo, how's the matter of facilitating cooperation between the Blood Witch Clan and the Human Clan that I asked you to do before? Have you encountered any obstacles?" Qin Xiaochuan asked from the side.
Guo Tianming said, "There are no major obstacles. Currently, HOD is also overwhelmed by the constant attacks from the monsters. With my mediation, the two sides have successfully reached a cooperation agreement. The Blood Witch Clan does have more experience in resisting monsters. In the face of the monsters randomly appearing in different places, the Wood Priest suggested that protective barriers could be built in densely populated human areas. This suggestion has been adopted by HOD. However, building this barrier is time-consuming and laborious, so progress is not very fast."
Guo Tianming paused here, then changed his tone and continued, "But once the barrier is built, at least it can prevent monsters from appearing in densely populated areas, thus avoiding mass casualties. Ordinary people will no longer have to live in fear every day, which is of great significance."
Qin Xiaochuan nodded upon hearing this and said, "It would be wonderful if the Blood Witch Clan could help everyone. I was always worried that the Blood Witch Clan wouldn't be able to integrate into the human race, but now I'm relieved. Uncle Guo, please feel free to ask if you need the Blood Witch Clan in the future."
Guo Tianming glanced at Qin Xiaochuan, who could see a peculiar meaning in his eyes. Guo Tianming said, "I understand. You should have retrieved the Yin-Yang Mirror from Yunmengze this time, right?"
Qin Xiaochuan took out the Yin-Yang Mirror and said, "This is the legendary Yin-Yang Mirror that can see all things and know everything."
Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze fell upon the Yin-Yang Mirror. What was reflected on the mirror was not the scene inside the study, but a constantly flowing, deep nebula-like substance. At times it was as clear as water, reflecting everything; at other times it was as turbid as chaos, as if it contained an evolving universe. It was clearly an extraordinary object.
Guo Shiyi said, "My martial uncle said that this treasure can only be activated by willpower. The stronger the willpower, the stronger the treasure's power."
"Martial Uncle?" Guo Tianming asked in surprise, "Which martial uncle did you encounter in Yunmeng Marsh?"
"Of course it's that great god Uncle Zhu from the Pantheon, Dad, you haven't forgotten, have you?" Guo Shiyi scrutinized Guo Tianming, a sly smile on her face.
"Oh, it's her. I didn't expect you to run into her," Guo Tianming said somewhat awkwardly.
"Oh, it's her. I didn't expect you to run into her," Guo Tianming said somewhat awkwardly.
"We owe it all to her. Without her, we would never have been able to retrieve the Yin-Yang Mirror so quickly. She still misses you, Dad. It's your fault for completely forgetting about her." Guo Shiyi looked at Guo Tianming meaningfully. "Dad, you have such good connections, but you didn't introduce them to me. It made us take so many detours."
Guo Tianming glanced guiltily at the door. Jiang Qingxue was busy with her work in the study and naturally wouldn't hear their conversation. Guo Tianming then said awkwardly, "That was a long time ago. So much time has passed, I don't think anyone would remember me, which is why I didn't think of asking you to go find her."
"Is that so, Dad?" Guo Shiyi scrutinized her father.
"Of course that's how it is," Guo Tianming said, then immediately changed the subject, saying, "Now that you've retrieved the Yin-Yang Mirror, hurry up and ask how to restore Jianmu."
Seeing Guo Tianming's reaction, Guo Shiyi stopped pressing the matter. Qin Xiaochuan placed the Yin-Yang Mirror on the desk, closed his eyes to clear his mind, then formed a hand seal and chanted the incantation Han Kexin had given him: "Yin and Yang are distinct, all phenomena are clear. Tai Chi operates, the mirror is truly divine!"
Then Qin Xiaochuan recited aloud: "Heaven has the virtue of cherishing life, and the people are in distress. Today, there are monsters causing trouble in the world and endangering the country. I wish to revive the Jianmu tree, re-establish the orthodox lineage, promote the virtue of Heaven, harmonize Yin and Yang, and bring peace to all living beings. I hope that the Yin and Yang will be moved by my wish and answer the doubts in my heart. I dare not have the slightest selfishness. Heaven and Earth are my witnesses."
After Qin Xiaochuan finished reading, everyone stared at the Yin-Yang Mirror. What was originally a slowly rotating nebula in the Mirror suddenly had a layer of white mist rising up, which then spun continuously inside the Mirror, gradually transforming into the shape of a Yin-Yang fish. Then, a beam of clear light shot out from the Mirror, leaving a white light screen above it. Sixteen large characters appeared on the light screen in sequence: "The soil is full of life, the water of the Jade Pool is clear, the Jianmu tree is revived, and all paths return to one."
