Fish and Dragon Dance Chapter 169 The Mirror Sea Leads to the Other Shore
The old wooden door creaked as the door shaft turned.
There was a thud, and the door that had just been opened was slammed shut.
Jiang Ning took a deep breath, slowly opened the door again, took a step, and walked in.
Mirrors, mirrors everywhere.
The mountains are mirrors, the water is mirrors, the sky is mirrors, and the earth is mirrors.
He looked in the mirror, and the eyes in the mirror were looking at him.
There are eyes in heaven and on earth.
A person, even if he is a bold person like Jiang Ning, is stared at by hundreds of millions of eyes from hundreds of millions of different angles at the same time, and he is inevitably a little frightened.
"Welcome to the Sea of Mirrors. A voice that looked like a man, not a man, a woman, not a woman echoed through the space.
Jiang Ning looked down, only to find that the ground under his feet was faintly undulating like sea water.
At the entrance to the door, under his feet was a long bluestone brick two feet long and one foot wide, and he was standing on top of the long blue brick at this time.
Other than that, the rest of the place is paved with mirrors.
As soon as the old man Liang Songhe waved his hand in the square, he appeared here, and there was pure darkness around him, only a glimmer of light appeared in the crack of the chai door.
Obviously, what is closed inside this door is the third test.
Enduring the discomfort, Jiang Ning carefully stared at a mirror on the side of the green brick and met the eye in it.
Although there is only one, Jiang Ning can be sure that the eyes in the mirror are the same as his own eyes.
The difference is that even if he doesn't make any movements, the eye in the mirror will look left and right, dimmering and spinning.
"How do I get through?"
Jiang Ning asked loudly.
The strange voice flickered far and near, and the speed of speech was extremely slow, but the tone and mood seemed to be constantly switching, and when the first word was spoken, it seemed to be a little happy, and when the latter word was spoken, it became annoyed, and then it was replaced by sadness, which made people very uncomfortable just listening to it.
"Go to the other side and you'll be able to get through. ”
Jiang Ning asked a few more words, but the voice no longer appeared, only the overwhelming gaze was still on him, just like the strange voice, every eye seemed to contain an emotion, and there was a strong sense of disobedience in the whole space.
The chai door behind him slowly disappeared, the way out was broken, and birds chirped and flew by, and every feather on the body was a broken mirror.
The eyes above the feather turned with the bird's flight, staring intently at Jiang Ning until they disappeared from his sight.
All kinds of emotions originated from those eyes, gurgling out from the mirrors at the corners of the eyes, red, orange, blue, and green, in different colors, not like tears, but some like the pigments and ink of those court painters.
These tears, along the cracks between the mirrors on the ground, slowly seeped into the sea below.
Some of them evaporated directly from the mirror, turning into a thin layer of hazy colored mist.
Jiang Ning raised his hand, touched the edge of a cloud of colored mist beside him with some curiosity, and immediately took it back like an electric shock.
His eyes were slightly red, his nose was sore, and he suddenly wanted to cry.
At that moment, he felt a strong sadness and grievance, if he hadn't stopped in time, he must have cried at this time.
"It's time to go. Jiang Ning said in his heart.
The eyes in the mirror weep every few moments, and although most of the tears seeped into the ground, some of them evaporated and turned into a hazy colored mist.
If he can't get to the other side in time, as time goes by, there will be more and more colored fog in the entire sea of mirrors, and in the end, there is no way to avoid it, he will be wrapped in this complex and intense emotion, and fall into chaos, and if he doesn't get it, the whole person will go crazy.
Before coming in, the old man said that there would be a certain degree of danger in this test, and the examiners of the dynasty might not have time to rescue them, so they could choose whether to participate in the next assessment or not.
Jiang Ning didn't understand it before, but now he understands.
The existence of the divine soul is ethereal, correspondingly, it is more difficult to define the limit of what a person's spirit can bear, even if there are more than 900 examiners staring at each tester one-on-one, they may not be able to rescue them in time.
Those with poor willpower, or encounter unexpected situations, will inevitably leave mental trauma, this kind of injury, more difficult to repair than physical damage, without the help of special elixir, it is likely to cause permanent damage to the person participating in the assessment.
Jiang Ning stepped on the first mirror in front of the bluestone brick with one foot, and the whole person disappeared abruptly.
Feeling a hand gently pushing him, Jiang Ning opened his hazy sleepy eyes.
There was a knock on the door outside.
"Master, wake up, Han Zhutou is calling you. A familiar female voice sounded in his ears, Jiang Ning subconsciously turned around and saw Su Que's delicate face.
Su Que was wearing white pajamas at this time, with these sleepy feelings on his pretty face, and while urging Jiang Ning, he rubbed his eyes in a daze.
"Magpie!"
Jiang Ning hugged this haunting person in his arms.
One mountain, two mountains. The mountains are far away, the sky is high, the smoke and water are cold, and the acacia maple leaf is dan.
Jiang Ning thought that before winning the first place in the Thirteen Kingdoms Competition, he would never see her again, but at this time, he was just holding the person in his arms tightly, and the noisy knock on the door outside was actually pleasant.
Su Que didn't know what was going on, which made her husband so sad, but she was quietly held by him, and her little hand gently patted and comforted Jiang Ning's back.
After a long time, the people outside seemed to be unable to wait, and shouted loudly through the door: "My lord, there is a case!"
Jiang Ning came back to his senses at this time.
Su Que got out of bed, took the official uniform from the Huanghuali hanger and changed it for him, and took a peach wood comb to help him roughly straighten his hair, and then said: "Han Zhutou is so anxious to find you, there must be a big mess outside, hurry up!"
"Oh!"
Jiang Ning was almost blindfolded before being pushed out of the room by Su Que.
A man in a public uniform with a long knife pinned to his waist hurriedly stepped forward.
"Han Hao!" Jiang Ning subconsciously called out the person's name.
The man named Han Yi nodded slightly, in response, and then immediately urged: "Oh my lord, you can figure it out, let's go to Yong'an Fang quickly, someone is dead." ”
"Really, when will you die, but you will die at this time, and it will not be a good rest at night. Jiang Ning stretched and complained, and followed Han Yi out of the door of the mansion.
A team of officials has been waiting outside the gate for a long time, this year, yesterday it snowed a whole day, those catchers are frozen and shivering, seeing the two come out, their eyes are showing a little joy, and they shouted in unison, my lord, I finally don't have to guard at this door.
At this time, the entire Long'an County has already been quiet, that is, they are the officials who hold the special waist card of the Long'an County Government, and the people next to them, as long as they are not those light utilitarian masters of the rivers and lakes, they will not be able to pass through the city.
Generally speaking, if there is a homicide at this hour, the murderer will not be able to leave Yong'an Fang.
Jiang Ning didn't ask who died, but directly ordered, Xu Yan and Lamb, the two of you each take a team of people to guard the East and West Fang Gate, just with the two classes of brothers on duty, I am worried that there will be a leak.
"Yes. ”
Xu Yan and the others took the order and left.
"Han He, you take me to the scene!"
