“This treasure mirror, does it have a name?”
“No.” Lu Zheng shook his head, then smiled. “Why not let you name it?”
Shen Ying smiled upon hearing that. She knew Lu Zheng did not care about such things. It was just…
“Then it needs a good name. In the future, when dealing with powerful figures, saying it out would sound impressive.”
Shen Ying was quite serious. This treasure mirror was not just some amplifier or auxiliary minor spell tool. It was a proper treasure. It deserved a name.
“How about Peering Heaven Treasure Mirror?”
“No good!”
Lu Zheng shook his head firmly. He had just been thinking about peeping. And the name had “peering” in it…
“Then Sealing Heaven Treasure Mirror?”
“Why are you so fixated on heaven?”
Shen Ying felt a bit embarrassed. “It sounds quite imposing.”
“Keep a low profile. Do not be too arrogant. The name should be low-key, luxurious, and profound.”
“Then you name it.”
Lu Zheng blinked. “Wind and Moon Treasure Mirror?”
Shen Ying frowned. “It sounds quite elegant. But I feel something is off.”
Lu Zheng raised an eyebrow. He did not expect Shen Ying’s intuition to be so sharp.
“Then Cloud Palace Treasure Mirror.” Lu Zheng nodded. “Anyway, I refined it with the ‘Innate Cloud Transformation Qi Method True Scripture’. The name has no specific direction. It can suit any function.”
“Fine!” Shen Ying smiled and nodded. The name was pretty good. Then she looked at Lu Zheng with great anticipation. “Try it?”
“Of course!”
Lu Zheng agreed naturally. He pinched a seal with his hand. He connected the treasure mirror to heaven and earth. Then a faint, almost imperceptible aura spread out through the treasure mirror.
At the same time, a scene appeared in the treasure mirror. It was the entire Taohua Ping.
“Amazing!” Shen Ying exclaimed in admiration. Because she felt no sense of being spied upon.
“It is very amazing.” Lu Zheng nodded. His vigilance was even greater than Shen Ying’s. Because he felt nothing too.
Lu Zheng did not believe this treasure mirror was the world’s best for spying. If it drew the attention of a great power, his transmigration ability might be exposed at any time.
Huh, not necessarily. Though my strength is nothing special, the jade seal in my mind should not be easy to deal with, right?
“You will protect me, right? If anyone dares spy on me, backlash with qi fortune directly. Kill him and be done!”
Jade seal, “…”
Shen Ying did not notice Lu Zheng’s inner thoughts. She was just excited by the treasure mirror’s function. “Zoom in, zoom in.”
Lu Zheng did as told. The view in the treasure mirror enlarged. Soon it found Taohua Manor. At the same time, it found a pair of man and woman cuddling in the back courtyard.
The man was dashing and elegant, with clear brows and bright eyes. The woman was enchanting and seductive, beautiful as a peach blossom.
“Hee hee!” Shen Ying raised her head lightly. She kissed Lu Zheng. The woman in the mirror did exactly the same. She could not help laughing. “Go see what little sister Qingyan is doing.”
“What else could she be doing? Seeing patients at Renxin Hall.” Lu Zheng turned the treasure mirror’s view. It quickly pulled to Tonglin County. It found Renxin Hall in the east city.
Sure enough, Liu Qingyan, old man Liu, and Du Yueyao, whose injuries had recovered, were all at Renxin Hall seeing patients.
And the three clearly had not detected the Cloud Palace Treasure Mirror’s spying.
After that, Lu Zheng accompanied Shen Ying in touring Tonglin County via the treasure mirror. They watched officials at the county yamen. They watched the hustle and bustle of the marketplace. Finally, they returned to Tongyi Alley. They saw the two little girls who had finished their homework and were now playing.
“How far can it see at most?” Lu Zheng said while turning the view northwest.
It crossed mountains and… small rivers along the way. It went over a hundred li. It crossed Tonglin County and entered Pingtan County.
“This…”
Lu Zheng and Shen Ying looked at each other. Over several hundred li, and no blur?
“How is the consumption?” Shen Ying asked.
Lu Zheng felt it. True qi surged from his body into the treasure mirror. “Still okay. It can hold.”
The next moment, the view went another hundred li. It finally slowed. And the display blurred. This was nearing the limit of what Lu Zheng’s current realm could see.
Coincidentally, it arrived right at Jiming Temple.
“Just right to see… Huh?”
Lu Zheng let out a light huh. His eyes focused. In the view, he saw several newly taken-in little novice monks collapsed to the side in Jiming Temple.
The view went further. Straight into the main hall. In the middle of the hall, Guangyue sat cross-legged. Above his head, a luminous relic blazed with light. It blocked waves of glazed Buddha light.
In front of him, a middle-aged monk stood neither straight nor crooked. His hands were clasped. He chanted lowly. Waves of glazed Buddha light generated from nothing. They surged toward Guangyue.
And in this Buddha light, that luminous relic shook unsteadily. Its colour gradually shifted from white-gold brightness to pure glazed.
“Monk Guangyue has an enemy!”
Lu Zheng held the treasure mirror. He rose on a cloud.
“Lu lang! I will go too!”
Shen Ying added. She flew to Lu Zheng’s side.
Lu Zheng nodded. Then he took Shen Ying straight to Jiming Temple.
…
Jiming Temple.
“Amitabha! I did not expect to see my sect’s relic in the Da Jing Dynasty. It is truly rare.”
After chanting a scripture, the middle-aged monk said. “This mage, you can refine my sect’s relic. It shows you have affinity with Buddha. Why not come with me to the West? Our Great Glazed Temple’s Buddha light shines over three thousand li. It is the perfect place for you to chant scriptures and cultivate.”
Guangyue’s eyes were tightly closed. He fully urged the luminous relic. He silently chanted the ‘Great Sun Golden Light Universal Illumination Scripture’ in his mouth. He ignored the monk’s words completely.
“The Da Jing Dynasty has outstanding people and lands. A mere sub-temple host of Rizhao Temple, cultivating only twenty years or so, can actually resist this poor monk to this degree.”
The middle-aged monk smiled and sighed. “But what can it do? This is not Rizhao Temple after all. Under the golden light’s universal illumination, it cannot ultimately melt into pure glazed.”
“Huh?”
Just as he spoke, the middle-aged monk could not help turning back. His gaze went up. Through the hall. As if he saw something.
“This is an internal matter of our Buddha sect. Does the Dao sect also want to interfere?”
“Is that so? Why do I feel this is a matter between our Da Jing Dynasty and your Western Buddha Kingdom?”
“Amitabha!”
The middle-aged monk clasped hands in salute. “Ben Cong of the Western Glazed Buddha Kingdom’s Great Glazed Temple greets fellow Daoist.”
The next moment, Lu Zheng and Shen Ying stepped hand in hand into the Daxiong Treasure Hall.
Lu Zheng raised his palm in salute. “Baiyun Temple’s Lu Zheng greets Master Ben Cong.”
Shen Ying curtsied. “Shen Ying greets Master Ben Cong.”
“Master, why are you not paying respects in the Buddha Kingdom? How did you wander to the heartland of our Da Jing?”
Ben Cong smiled faintly. “This place has affinity. Buddha light guided me here.”
Lu Zheng’s eyes flashed. He did not engage his clever words. “Master Guangyue is a close friend of mine. Please withdraw your spell, master. Do not harm the harmony between Buddha and Dao.”
Ben Cong smiled faintly. “Once I convert Mage Guangyue to sit under our Glazed Buddha Ancestor, then I will have him greet the two of you.”
