Chapter 378: Mirror View
Chapter 378 Mirror View
Hearing her say this, I didn't know what to do, she didn't seem to have the meaning of explaining, and led me forward, she showed her original form, but she really looked weak, her soul took on a lifeless grayish white, she walked in front of me, and a breeze blew through her body would become erratic. She took me to the innermost part of the courtyard, the deepest part of the courtyard, where the shadow wall I had seen at the main entrance just now stood. For me, the shadow wall is a cement wall, but just a few glances, now look closely, this shadow wall is surrounded by hand-carved patterns, and the lace of golden osmanthus makes this shadow wall look magnificent. If you look closely, the petals and stamens of the osmanthus are all very fine, which shows how fine the craftsman is when making them.
"It's... Shadow Wall, why is it here? I asked.
"Did you see him just now? Do you know that this thing is something that only the heirs of the Kui family can see, where did you see it just now? She asked.
"Right at the front door of the mansion." I say.
"I see, this thing must have sensed your call to him, so it appeared in front of you." She said, I just remembered, I didn't mention that I had seen this wall, and I didn't know if everyone saw him, and now that I think about it, I don't know what everyone saw.
"Is there any other origin of this shadow wall? What did you mean when you said that he only knew the heir? I asked.
"I don't have time to explain it to you in such detail now, you just need to remember that I didn't choose the wrong person, and this thing is not mortal. Have you ever heard of the Queen Mother's Yao Chi? She asked.
"I've heard of it. Isn't the Yao Chi feast the grandest banquet in Heaven? I said.
"In fact, Yao Chi is just an extremely special existence, and this lake can reflect the human form, just because the bottom of this pool is a whole mirror." She said.
"Mirrors?" I was surprised and asked, wondering if there was such a magical pool in the world, could it be a man-made lake?
"It's not a man-made lake, there are many places in the world that you can't explain, it's not just that it's hard for mortals to go. I thought it was all a fairyland. She said. And the shadow wall you are talking about is actually a part of Na Yao Chi, so in fact, he is not a shadow wall, but a mirror. ”
"Mirrors? But—" I stepped forward to take a closer look. But he didn't see his own image. "But I've always thought about why Yaochi. What the Queen Mother is just a lie. They are all legendary people. ”
"Legends and legends, and some people have to pass them on before some people say that the existence of the Queen Mother may not exist. The names of those immortals were just filled in by later generations. She said.
"So there were indeed immortals before?" I asked.
"There is no way to verify, it may be immortals, it may be something else, but some miracles are real."
"For example, Yaochi exists?" I asked.
"That's right, that's the proof, and some legends aren't all fake, like ghosts just exist in legends? You haven't seen that much by now. She said.
"But I don't see a shadow of myself." I asked.
"This mirror doesn't understand people, but through the heart, of course you can't use it now, come, give me your hand." She stretched out her hand, but I hesitated to shake her hand, for fear that if I held it, I would touch nothingness. After hesitating for a moment, I carefully shook it, it was amazing, her hand was not as cold as thistle, but very warm, as if holding a soft hand warmer.
"Look closely." She reminded me, and I realized that I had been staring at her all along. I quickly gathered my mind and stared at the shadow wall, and sure enough, some figures began to slowly emerge on the shadow wall.
"Now your mind is uncertain, and you think about what you want to see." She said.
"I—" I didn't think about what to see at all, I was just a little worried about my grandmother and mother, but as soon as this thought came to me, I had already seen my grandmother and mother on the shadow wall.
It seems that grandma and mother have followed everyone back to your uncle's courtyard, they are all gathered in the main hall at the moment, grandma is still wearing the clothes of an onmyoji, looking very spiritual. I didn't see Sister Wang Na, I guess he should be in the kitchen preparing the ingredients at this time. Looking at grandma in this shadow wall like this, her body is getting more and more rickety, I never felt it before, but since grandpa died, grandma has aged very fast, and now I feel that my care for my family is indeed a little less.
"They're your friends and family." She asked.
"Yes, that's my grandmother and mother. And my friends. I said.
"The Kui family is well managed by them, and the lintel of the Jiang family is also glorious."
"Senpai, what the hell are you and us..."I didn't know what to call him, full of doubts.
"I don't know who I should be for you, so it's not bad for you to call me senior, because I am indeed your senior." When she said this, her face was solemn, and she couldn't tell what kind of suffering she had behind her.
"Can I see anything else besides my grandmother and mother?" I asked.
"As long as it's in your heart, you can see almost everything here. You can give it another try. She said.
I hesitated for a moment, I was still a little relieved about the situation on my aunt's side, and at this time the picture of my grandmother and mother became a little blurry, and it was replaced by another picture, which was the Japanese samurai, who was sitting alone in the room, and there always seemed to be something wrong in that room.
I don't know where the direction of this room is, the light is very dim, and there are some simple furnishings in the room, nothing more than some tables and chairs, benches, beds, and simple clothes cabinets. It seemed like there was nothing wrong with anything, but the room was still weird and couldn't tell what was wrong.
"There are no windows and no doors." I was amazed.
"Yes, you found out." She said, "I know the weirdness of this room now, this room doesn't have any entrances and exits, not a single door or window, but the light in this room doesn't know where it comes from.
"No, it's not that this room doesn't have entrances and exits, skylights, and the windows in this house are on it." I say.
Now that the Japanese samurai was sitting on the ground, I could see that his face was pale and bloodless, and he was gasping for breath, apparently he had just fallen from the skylight in this room, and had exhausted all means and had not escaped. Apparently he didn't want to give up, and stood up again, and I saw that one of his legs was badly wounded, apparently from the fall just now, and the wound had already exposed the bones.
He stood up and limped towards the wall, where there was a large wardrobe on which he clearly wanted to work on. I became interested, and slowly approached the shadow wall, I don't know what was strange about the cabinet in the room, he seemed to be crazy, pulled out the katana at his waist, and slashed wildly at the clothes cabinet, but the strange thing is that the clothes cabinet was not damaged at all.
"It's of stone." The senior behind me said.
"Stone?!"
"Yes, that's right, everything in this room is made of stone, and this house was originally a whole mountain stone, and the tables, chairs, beds, and cabinets carved out of it after being hollowed out were originally mixed with this house." She said.
"In that case, it's absolutely impossible for this cabinet to move." I say.
"That's right, so he's going to give up now." The senior said, "Look at the way he is now." ”
The samurai was about to give up, and he sat down on the ground again, without any expression on his face, or rather a look of despair, as if he had seen it get up. He twitched unconsciously, and began to sweat profusely.
He looked around, and the furnishings in the room looked to him like devils. Without warning, the samurai suddenly began to scream, a terrifying scream as if the child had seen his beloved pet suddenly die. He began to pound his head against the ground, and blood gushed out, but he never stopped, as if he was praying for some god's salvation or forgiveness.
Finally, he saw his katana, he slowly picked up the katana, adjusted his position and knelt on the ground, and slowly sat up straight. I suddenly understood what he was going to do.
He slowly raised his katana and slung it across his waist. Then he slammed his stomach and cut his stomach.
I covered my mouth in surprise, "What's going on?" ”
"There's nothing surprising, this room was originally the secret room of the Kui family, not to hide any secrets, but to exercise people's minds, some people's psychological tolerance is quite fragile and they can't accept staying in such a closed space. And there is a kind of person who can't walk into such a secret room at all, that is, a person with a phobia of closed rooms, this person is probably unlucky, and accidentally walked into here, resulting in a psychological breakdown, which is actually normal. ”
The samurai on the shadow wall was lying on the ground, his intestines dripping all over the ground, and our senior even said that this matter was normal. But then I thought about it, I really never saw this Japanese samurai sleeping in a tent at night, he always sat alone in the courtyard, I originally thought he was just worried about safety, standing guard for his aunt, but now I think that this is the reason, he has a phobia of closed rooms, fear of enclosed spaces.
"This person should be your person too." Said the seniors. At this time, there was another change on the shadow wall, and another person appeared.
That person is indeed the person next to his aunt, he is the black man who is always quiet and is now behind Jiang Bingbing. (To be continued.) )
