Chapter 724 – Eight Inch Mirror
Thinking about it, the death of Amamiya Haruhide’s master can be explained.
Since it was Amamiya Haruhide’s master and Yuzuri Kurotetsugu who entered the relics together, then it is estimated that they also discovered the “Origin” at the same time, and both of them touched the silver-colored ball of light under the instinctive temptation of the “Origin” to living creatures, while Amamiya Haruhide’s master was not compatible with the “Origin”, but after returning to the outside of the relics for only three months, he was killed by the “Origin” in his body. “The master of Yu Gong Qing Hui was not in tune with the Origin, and after returning to the ruins for only three months, he was rejected by the power of the Origin within his body and died.
Lin Qiye took a step towards the stone statue in the black temple, wanting to get a closer look at the silver-colored ball of light.
But just as he took two steps, the knight and Wu Xiangnan stepped in front of him, Wu Xiangnan reached out her hand to stop him and said seriously, “That thing will compel people’s hearts, don’t be attracted to it.”
Lin Qiye was stunned and smiled, “Don’t worry lieutenant, it can’t compel me.”
The temptation of the “Origin” for living creatures was extremely hard to resist, but Lin Qiye was different, he already had a Black Night Origin in his body, so the “Origin” in front of him, which contained impurities and didn’t match him, couldn’t have any seductive effect on him at all.
Seeing Lin Qiye’s expression as usual, Wu Xiangnan was a bit surprised. As someone who has personally experienced the temptation of the Origin, he knows very well how terrifying that thing is …….
Why was Lin Qiye able to walk over so calmly?
Then again,……, when Jia Lan faced the “Origin” just now, he didn’t seem to have much of a reaction either.
Wu Xiangnan looked at Lin Qiye and Jia Lan, who were walking side by side, and the color of doubt in his eyes intensified.
Lin Qiye walked up to the silver-colored ball of light, carefully examined it for a moment, and then landed his gaze on the black stone statue of Amaterasu Omikami, which was holding the silver-colored ball of light in one hand, while the other hand was empty, which seemed a bit strange.
”This other hand, isn’t it missing something?” Lin Qiye asked suspiciously.
”There is a divine artifact missing, the Eight Length Mirror.” Wu Xiangnan walked to his side and calmly explained.
”The Eight Length Mirror?”
”There are three most powerful artifacts in Japanese mythology, which are the Eight Inch Mirror, the Eight-Foot Agaric Hook Jade, and the Grass Pheasant Sword, and judging from the grip of the hand, the one in the hand of this Amaterasu God statue should be the Eight Inch Mirror among the three artifacts.”
”Then why is his hand empty? Where is the eight-inch mirror?”
The knight slowly walked to the front of the temple and spoke, “The Eight Inch Mirror, it’s right under our feet.”
Lin Qiye froze.
”The ‘circle of man’ in Japan is resting on a divine artifact, and that divine artifact is the Eight Inch Mirror.” The knight strung together the clues from their journey and analyzed, “When we dived under the sea from the coast of Japan, we found a huge bronze mirror covering the entirety of Japan at the bottom of the deep sea, and if I’m not wrong, that’s the body of the Eight Length Mirror.
When the mists descended a hundred years ago, the Gods of the High Heavenly Plains placed the Eight Length Mirror at the bottom of the deep sea, and utilizing the reflection of the mirror, they replicated an exact copy of Japan inside the Eight Length Mirror, and this kingdom that exists in the mirror image is Japan’s ‘circle of people’.”
Lin Qiye pondered, “That is to say, we are actually in the mirror image of Japan’s deep sea right now, which happens to be the reflection of Misty Japan?”
”That’s right.” The knight nodded, “The many divine kingdoms in the world all have quite a few divine artifacts, but the one that can manage to perfectly replicate an entire kingdom is perhaps only Japan’s Eight Inch Mirror, so the size of Japan’s ‘Circle of Man’ is bound to be far greater than the ‘Circle of Man’ of all the other divine kingdoms ‘, which is determined by the nature of the artifact itself.
And where we are now is a gap in the Eight Length Mirror.
This gap is like a small hole in the mirror, connecting the mirror world to the real world, and as long as we pass through here, we can freely travel through the mists and the ‘circle of people’.”
Lin Qiye’s eyes lit up, “From here, it’s really possible to return to Daxia?”
”Of course it’s possible, that’s where we came from.” Wu Xiangnan nodded and said.
A flash of joy appeared on Lin Qiye’s face.
He didn’t expect to find a way to leave this place and return to Grand Xia after accompanying Yu Gong Qinghui on a trip to the ruins.
Now that Lin Qiye had contacted Shen Qingzhu and found Baili Chubby and Jia Lan, as long as they found An Qingyu, Jiang’er, and Cao Yuan again, they would be able to immediately leave this place and return to Daxia to resume their duties.
I just don’t know …… where exactly the three of them are.
”Right.” Lin Qiye seemed to have thought of something, “How long has it been since we disappeared?”
Jia Lan paused for a moment, “More than two years.”
More than two years?
Lin Qiye nodded slightly, things were basically the same as what he had speculated, the time when each member of the team entered the ‘human circle’ had deviated, and this interval was around three to six months, so projecting this, the timing did match.
Daxia has already passed more than two years?…… I also don t know what the current Daxia, what exactly is it like?
Until now, the [Night Shade] squad has not officially returned to Shangjing City to register and report for duty, so hopefully he can find the other team members as soon as possible, and then return to Daxia to get back what belongs to them.
Lin Qiye, together with Garland and the others, passed through the Wall of Birdhouse and moved all the way to the outskirts of the ruins, finally arriving before the cave where he and Amamiya Haruhide had entered this place.
Along the way, he also asked Caran about his experiences over the past two years, but Caran simply told a part of the drift and didn’t tell Lin Qiye how much pain and hardship he had lived through over the past two years, those trials and tribulations didn’t matter to her now, she didn’t want them to cause Lin Qiye any anguish.
Reunion was supposed to be a cheerful affair.
When the four of them walked there, Amamiya Qinghui and Wei Dong had already been waiting there for a long time.
Amamiya Qinghui looked a bit bewildered as he watched Lin Qiye walk over with a group of people.
Wasn’t this his and Lin Qiye’s relic exploration trip? Where did so many people appear from? Lin Qiye had gone into the ruins to form a traveling group of friends and family?
As soon as Wei Dong and the knight met, they recognized each other, and Wei Dong smiled somewhat apologetically, bent slightly, and respectfully said:
”Upper Evil Society ‘Paratrooper’ Wei Dong, meet the Sixth Envoy, there was some accident didn’t go to greet the envoy, I’m really sorry ……”
The knight raised an eyebrow, patted his shoulder and said with a smile, “It’s fine, Lin Qiye already said on the way here, you did a good job, hard work.”
On the other side, Lin Qiye brought Wu Xiangnan and Jia Lan to Yu Gong Qinghui and introduced each other.
Wu Xiangnan extended his hand and said in a standard Japanese, “Hello, I’m Daxia Vigilant Wu Xiangnan, Lin Qiye’s companion.”
Amamiya Haruhide nodded and reached out to shake his hand, similarly replying in Japanese, “Hello, I’m Amamiya Haruhide ……”
Before the words left his mouth, he turned around and pointed at Lin Qiye, saying seriously:
”He, is Asahina of Osaka’s Dotonbori Black Sycamore Club – the Cowboy World’s Crouching Dragon – the brightest rising star of cowgirls – the Friend of Mature Women – Mr. Seven Nights.”
