The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 1218 The Ancestor Dropped Gold Coins
Yun Ran opened her mouth, wanting to say something in response.

But when she thought that the person in front of her was the patriarch of Qingfeng Temple, and that she could not be presumptuous with him, her attitude immediately became respectful again.

These changes in expression naturally did not escape the eyes of Ancestor Qingyangzi.

If it were a serious old man like Bi Deng here, he would definitely scold Yun Ran for not acting like a junior at all.

But on the face of Ancestor Qingyangzi was a faint look of doting affection.

The look in his eyes clearly conveyed: "Wow, my child is so lively and adorable!"
Yunran: ...

The elders of Qingfeng Temple really have a very thick filter for their own children.

Even Yunran, who always had a high opinion of herself, finally felt a sense of shame at this moment.

Yunran gave an awkward laugh and then gestured with her fingers.

"Ancestor, I... I was just a tiny bit curious, why did you only send an avatar?"

She was really just a little curious; there weren't any crickets!
Ancestor Qingyangzi's eyes were still full of tolerance, and he did not feel that Yun Ran's behavior was disrespectful to him.

“Your other two ancestors and I are currently guarding that divine cauldron, so we can only send our own people here.”

Ancestor Qingyangzi didn't explain why a divine cauldron needed them to guard it together, but his words revealed a very important piece of information.

That is, the ancestors discovered something very important, and they were able to control the situation.

Yun Ran nodded vigorously, appearing very obedient, as if she believed whatever Ancestor Qingyangzi said.

Ancestor Qingyangzi looked at Yun Ran in front of him and liked her very much. He felt that this girl was exactly what he wanted, sensible and knowing when to advance and retreat.

"Ancestor, all twelve bronze mirrors have been found. What do you think?"

Yunran revealed all twelve bronze mirrors and quickly recounted some of the things she had discovered during this period.

She even talked about the things she suspected, and of course, she also played the victim a little bit during the process.

This is the art of asking questions of elders: you need to make them feel how hard she works, and also let them know how much she suffers.

Anyone who cares about the younger generation will definitely start showering them with gold coins upon hearing such a reply.

Sure enough, a hint of satisfaction flashed in Qingyangzi Laozi's eyes, but at the same time, he felt a little heartache.

He glanced at the wound on Yun Ran's arm that had just scabbed over, and with a flick of his wrist, Yun Ran's arm immediately returned to normal, the wound completely gone.

Then, he took out a jade pendant from his person and handed it to Yunran.

"This jade pendant embodies a wisp of my sword intent. It can shield you from at least three fatal dangers. Keep it safe."

Yun Ran immediately stepped forward obsequiously to take it. This was sword intent from an immortal, capable of blocking more than three fatal dangers, which meant she had three extra lives!
"Thank you so much, Ancestor! Thank you so much, Ancestor!!!"

After saying that, Yun Ran carefully put the item away. If her junior uncle saw such a treasure, he would definitely try to take it from her.

Ancestor Qingyangzi stopped looking at Yunran and instead focused his gaze on the twelve bronze mirrors.

One of the bronze mirrors was immediately recognized, and it turned out that Yun Ran had made a contract with it.

While surprised, I also felt that this was something Yun Ran was capable of doing; she was quick-witted enough to handle things so smoothly.

Compared to those honest and upright people, they are more flexible and adaptable.

"Ancestor, this bronze mirror has been broken for over a thousand years. Will piecing it back together cause any unrest?" Although Yun Ran asked this question, she actually had some suspicions in her heart.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have chosen this location so early and set up this formation right away.

Ancestor Qingyangzi didn't even need to use any spells; he simply raised his hand slightly.

Countless rays of light emanated from the bronze mirrors placed on the ground.

It was as if some mechanism had been activated, and all the demons and monsters that had been trapped inside the bronze mirror wanted to escape their confinement.

A series of roars that could stir the soul rang out, and countless broken limbs and bones emerged from the bronze mirror.

However, they are imprisoned, and their desire to escape is simply a pipe dream.

The countless roars made Yun Ran's head buzz. If she hadn't been under the restrictions of Qingfeng Temple, she would definitely have been bewitched by now.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Yunran's mind.

As Green Willow previously stated, from her 'perspective,' this world is engulfed in destruction, with countless humans perishing and ghosts and demons running rampant.

Yunran's gaze suddenly turned to the top of the bronze mirror, where demons and monsters were desperately trying to break free of their shackles...

It seems that Ancestor Qingyangzi can see what Yunran is thinking.

He spoke directly: "You're right, these things imprisoned by the bronze mirror are one of the root causes of the destruction of this world!"

To prevent this world from falling into another cycle of disasters, the first step is to purify the things within the bronze mirror that are being used as breeding grounds for evil spirits.

As the words of Ancestor Qingyangzi faded, the roars grew increasingly shrill, and their ability to bewitch people grew stronger.

If this bronze mirror is still in the hands of the same people as before.

Once the 'breeding of Gu' is successful, these evil spirits can easily bewitch people, causing them to destroy the bronze mirror and release the evil spirits.

The consequences, without even thinking about it, are obviously devastating.

"Ancestor, the news about these last two bronze mirrors in Moonflower City is probably unknown even to people inside Moonflower City."

According to Green Willow's previous account, this world has been destroyed many times, but it has been pulled back by the power of the time rules.

Could it be that the missing last two bronze mirrors meant the demons and monsters they nurtured weren't quite ready yet, which is why they were suppressed by the power of the time-laws?

Although many of the previous messages were scattered, after piecing them together, Yunran finally discovered the trickery involved.

The high priest of that temple had foreseen the calamity that would occur a thousand years later, so he made arrangements long in advance.

Moonlit City was a very important part of his plan.

The first city lord of Moonflower City was also a reliable person, and these last two bronze mirrors were reserved for her.

It would be impossible for anyone else to collect all twelve bronze mirrors.

Therefore, even if someone finds a shortcut to 'creating a god', they will still be pulled into the cycle of reincarnation by another force time and time again.

And this is one of the many contingency plans left behind by that high priest.

hiss!
Such a layout and calculation capability, with each step linked to the next, is truly terrifying!
