Chapter Seventy-Six: The Runaway Snail Girl
There are fish in the lake, and you will get something if you go down the net.
But for some reason, the fishermen went down in the net, and when the fog thinned and caught up, they found nothing.
There was only one thing in the net, a bronze mirror as smooth and bright as water, reflecting the rising sunlight after the fog had cleared.
The mirror is not very large, so when the fishermen collected their nets to retrieve them, a fish jumped up in the water and fell into the water along the mesh and disappeared.
Fishing is important, and fishermen don't take the mirror to heart.
They moved the boat out of position and continued to lower the net, but there was still only a mirror when the net was closed.
The fishermen were surprised, but before they could put it away, they were swept away by the leaping fish.
The villagers immediately thought that this mirror was not a mortal thing, so they stayed where they were and continued to lower the net, and when the net was closed, there was still only the mirror.
This time, the villagers had a heart and quickly closed the net, not giving the mirror a chance to fall down the net.
After the mirror was fished up, the villagers in ten small boats came around to take a look, only to see that the mirror was made of copper, had a handle, and had a dragon pattern engraved on the back of the mirror.
A villager looked in the mirror curiously, but saw that the person in the mirror was not his appearance, but a monster with only bones, viscera, and bones.
In the mirror, bloody hearts can even be seen beating.
How could the people of another world see this, they were a little disgusted at the time, and then fainted dizzily.
Fortunately, the person next to him held him up so that he didn't fall into the water.
The others were surprised, and a few brave people curiously picked up the mirror and looked at it, and then either fainted or vomited.
Seeing this, the others hurriedly threw the mirror into the lake, and did not dare to catch any more fish, so they rowed the boat to the shore with all their might.
After a long time ashore, those who looked in the mirror woke up, and they all agreed that the mirror was a youkai.
Because of the long hours of ploughing and fishing, and the infestation of foreign animals, the villagers have some dark diseases, wounds or permanent wounds on their bodies.
But when they woke up the next day, the villagers who had looked in the mirror before found that they had been cured of these diseases.
There are even villagers at the foot of the slope and those who were disfigured by the wolf licking their faces, who grew legs, feet and flesh overnight, and restored their original appearance, and they didn't see anything unusual.
The villagers were in an uproar, and they rowed again to the place where the mirror was thrown and cast their nets, and when they closed the nets, they caught a lot of fish, but there were no mirrors.
In the following ten years, the villagers never forgot the mirror, but they never fished the mirror again.
Those who have looked in the mirror, but those who have not experienced accidents, have lived to be more than 100 years old.
The magical legend about this mirror slowly spread in the wilderness, but few people know the origin of this mirror.
It is rumored that when the magic of the mirror reached Kunlun Hill, he met Bai Ze, a divine beast who knew the essence of all things in the East China Sea and knew the appearance of all things in the world.
At the peach grove banquet next to the heavenly pillar, the city lord Queen Mother Xi took the opportunity to ask about the origin of the mirror.
The divine beast Bai Ze replied ambiguously: "This mirror is a divine object, which can illuminate the hearts of all living beings, but it can cause all living beings to be sick." ”
The Queen Mother of the West asked with a smile: "How is the technique of raising the flesh and bones of the dead compared to Kunlun Hill?"
Bai Ze said: "The flesh and bones of the dead are all due to the fact that the soul is not dispersed, and there are still one or two flesh and bones, and they can only heal ordinary flesh and blood." ”
"But if this mirror is used properly, even if the body has turned into dust, only a wisp of soul remains, and a photo can grow flesh and bones and replenish the soul. ”
"In the hands of its master, even those who do not need a soul and have entered samsara can be recalled. Bai Ze said.
The Queen Mother of the West was surprised, "Who owns this mirror?"
Bai Ze said: "This mirror is only in the rivers and lakes, it is held by immortals, and ordinary people can't see it." Bai Ze lives in the East China Sea, and it is difficult to tell his master's name and surname. ”
The Queen Mother of the West said with a smile: "There are not many people on the East China Sea who can make you jealous, you don't say it, I know it, but I don't say it." ”
In the West Queen Mother and Bai Ze looking at each other and laughing, the storytelling came to an end with Zhuyin.
Yu Sheng leaned in front of the counter and asked Aunt Qing curiously, "Although the Queen Mother of the West has a human face, Bai Ze is really a beast, how do you say they look at each other and laugh." ”
Aunt Qing drank the wood wine and mixed the tofu with shallots, and said comfortably: "How do I know, maybe you can try it with the dog and see if you can look at each other and smile." ”
"You mean to treat the dog as a divine beast Bai Ze?" Yu Sheng said.
Aunt Qing put down her wine glass, "Compare the dog to Bai Ze? ”
Yu Sheng was shocked, "Does it have a tailwind?"
Aunt Qing shook her head, "That's not true, but Bai Ze has the magic power to know the world, if it wants to know if you have arranged it, you can know it with a little attention." ”
"Don't be kidding, I'm a little innkeeper, what does it pay attention to me, and I'm full?" Yu Sheng said with a smile.
"Maybe it's because I'm hungry. Aunt Qing took another sip of wine, and suddenly asked, "By the way, my sister's widow... Where are all the relics?"
"I was sent to the water by the old man, saying that it was useful for the old lady to be in the water. The rest of his life listened to the blind man tell the story, and replied casually.
"Shopkeeper, I'll give you a big beauty. Ye Zigao walked in with a large field snail in his arms.
Yu Sheng glanced at it, "Why did you give it to me, after telling you the story of the snail girl yesterday, aren't you very interested?"
"I've been staring at her for a long time, just waiting for her to come out. Ye Zigao put the snail on the table, "Dare to wait for a long time, it's just an empty shell." ”
The rest of his life was stunned, and when he picked it up yesterday, he really didn't notice it because the shell was big and heavy.
But as a shopkeeper, how can he admit his mistakes for the rest of his life. He feigned surprise, "No, it wasn't empty when I brought it back yesterday." ”
"It was very heavy when I brought it back, and it wouldn't be so heavy if it was empty. Yu Sheng said.
"It's heavy now, like a lump of iron. Ye Zigao said.
"It's not empty. Yu Sheng continued to be at his feet, he pointed to the little white fox, "Don't believe it, you ask the little fox." ”
The little white fox of Traitor No. 2 nodded under the threatening eyes of the rest of his life, hoping to make up for it, and at the same time looked at Traitor No. 1 with pity.
Yu Sheng said again: "I don't believe it's more difficult for you to ask if you are rich." ”
Fu Nan was listening to a book, and was called around by the rest of his life. He cautiously glanced at Aunt Qing behind the counter, and his intuition told him that this person was familiar, but he didn't dare to recognize it.
Aunt Qing glanced at the rich and difficult, and lowered her head to drink comfortably.
She was like this when she visited the inn twenty years ago, and no one recognized it then, and she doesn't have it now.
It's just that she didn't expect that she met a brocade guard who handled the case by feeling
Fu Nan listened to Yu Sheng's question: "The snail I soaked in the water yesterday was not empty, right?"
For the rest of his life, he soaked in small snails, and at that time, Fu Nan also asked how to eat, of course it was not empty.
Seeing the difficulty of getting rich, Yu Sheng said to Ye Zigao: "Look, it's definitely not empty, didn't you stop it and let the snail girl run away quietly?"
Ye Zigao just came to Xingshi to ask for guilt and blackmail the shopkeeper, but now he was suspicious: "No, is there really a snail girl?"
