Volume 1: Huangquan December Chapter 125: Looking at the Form through the Mirror
The cloud mirror is the property of Denim, the founder of the Rim Sky Temple.
Originally, it was just an ordinary round mirror, and there was nothing special about the workmanship and style. It's just that this mirror was placed on the hill with him, in the most aura position in the whole room. Coupled with the immortal chief's single-minded enlightenment, it accompanied him for hundreds of years, and then gave birth to the Fu Fu God. It is not an evil god, it also has some immortal arts, and it has the ability to spy on things thousands of miles away. No matter where it comes from, as long as it is anything in the world, even the ends of the earth, it knows it.
After Danning ascended to immortality, the cloud mirror was kept in the world. One day it disappeared, and there was no clue in the whole view, as if it had disappeared out of thin air. Later, the owner of the door at that time said that since it already had its own consciousness, it was not impossible that it would not be stolen by others but sneak out by itself. The cultivators were indifferent to fame and fortune, and they didn't care much about the so-called treasures and immortal weapons, so the matter was over.
This mirror itself has nothing to do with Snow Yan Valley. It's just rumored that the person who got it in the end was the wife of the current sect master. Some people even said that his enemy was not just for revenge, but to snatch the cloud mirror before he found Zuo Jimen. This is also the reason why they were not killed on the spot, but taken away first. But to this day, there is no news of any cloud mirrors on the rivers and lakes, and they guess that maybe his wife refused to speak, and the mother and daughter were killed. Some people also said that in fact, the mirror was not in her hand in the first place. Naturally, there are not a few people who say that the cloud mirror does not exist at all.
At dawn, Mu Wan's mind was full of what Xie Hua said last night. Both she and her sister were sure that this mirror did exist—the ancestor of the Xie Hua clan, who was a member of the Onmyoji family, had seen this mirror. Although neither of them has seen it with their own eyes, the person surnamed Xie Hua has known that there is such a cloud mirror from the education he received since he was a child. Mountains and seas are also certain.
At that time, Dai Luan said, "If only this thing could be found by us, so that we can know where the ten thousand ghosts are." And also...... Shi Wuqi didn't know where to go. ”
Shanhai sighed: "If he is lost in the gap between the six realms, I'm afraid there is nothing to be done in the cloud mirror." ”
"So what is Wu Yuangui looking for when he cares about it so much?"
"Maybe it'...... Master Mu Wan's whereabouts? ”
Xie Huayu glanced at Ah Luan, feeling helpless for her question. "Innocence" is not a characteristic of her, but it is definitely one of her weaknesses. Even Ah Ling felt that this person's current life seemed to be very moist, did he really want the sect master to come back?
Rin Shanhai has never dared to overestimate human nature, he just echoed and said, "Perhaps, it's really like this." ”
Xie Huayu seemed to understand the hidden meaning of his words. She frowned, incredulous at the idea, but not entirely impossible. Finally, she shook her head heavily—if she could, she didn't want her brother to really do what she thought.
"How much do you know about the return? And we're in charge. Xie Hua asked.
"I don't know, we just heard Mu Wan say that he is your sect master's open disciple, and he is less than ten years older than her."
Xie Huayu sighed slowly and told them about the sect master's past.
Xue Yan Sect is the father of the current sect master, and although he is resourceful, he yearns for a secluded place outside the world. In his early years, he worked in the court, saw too many intrigues between open guns and hidden arrows, and became more and more longing for a secluded life. When he left the imperial court, he finally got his wish, opened up a territory in the Xueyan Valley, which was still a poor country, and founded the Xueyan Sect, specifically befriending the literati and laymen.
It's just that his son, that is, Mu Wan's master, was not a fuel-efficient lamp when he was young. He is completely different from him, and he likes to compete in martial arts, fight and kill. In his early years, he joined the army and was deeply appreciated by the emperor, but when he was about to be promoted and rewarded, his father refused, which caused him to have a formal estrangement between him and his father for the first time, and then it was out of control. Because of his father's face in the court and the rivers and lakes, he naturally couldn't argue with him head-on, so he went around to pull people around to compete in martial arts, especially when he drank, he turned his face, and insisted on arresting people to compare his level, coupled with his superb martial arts, many people stayed away from him. It's just that the reputation spreads, and there are people who come to him to learn from him, and he also responds to it, and he can be regarded as having made a lot of brothers by not knowing each other.
With this reckless and chivalrous character who dares to love and hate, he has friends, enemies, and lovers. At that time, Xue Yanzong was already famous, but he didn't plan to take over his father's business. In this way, he shuttled back and forth between the bloody rain and the wind, and finally ushered in the time when the horse stumbled. He is away from home for many years and only has a beloved daughter with his wife. Because of the trouble he caused on the rivers and lakes, his wife and daughter were retaliated. He was greeted home that day without his wife's food, without his daughter's smiling face, only with a river of blood, and neither of them was nowhere to be seen—except for one of his wife's severed hands.
He went crazy to inquire, only to hear that it was the people from Zuo Zhenmen who kidnapped them, and they were more than lucky, and they didn't know who the people behind the scenes were. So, he killed more people, preferring to make a thousand mistakes rather than one, and never stopped killing until his eyes were red and bloody.
Then, his father, who was very old, was gone suddenly. His mother, along with his father, closed his eyes during a nap and never opened them again. He suddenly lowered his sword.
I kept looking at the bloody eyes, and I never looked back for a moment. When he knew how to look over, there was a bloody patch behind him. He didn't seem to have anything worth picking up his sword anymore, so—he put it down.
Everything is lost, is there any need for protection? He picked up the sword countless times and looked at his inhuman face reflected on the sword.
…… Maybe there is.
Snow Yan Sect.
And the children who have also lost so much, who are just as lost as he is—hasn't he been as willful as a child who hasn't grown up for so many years?
With his martial arts and popularity, the Snow Yan Sect has grown stronger and stronger. Many of them are orphans whose parents have died, and there are also children of sinners who are not welcomed. He doesn't care, he's a sinner himself.
Wu Yuangui was his first disciple, and he was also the last child of the enemy he killed.
The Wu family is not the culprit who killed his wife and children, but he was implicated in the process of searching. At that time he was still young, his mother left early, and he lived with his father. He happened to be not at home when his father was killed. To this day, Wu Yuangui doesn't know that his master is his father-killing enemy.
Dai Luan gasped.
"It's horrible. If Shanhai kills my parents and I know it, I will die with him! ”
“…… Since it didn't happen, you don't have to say it in front of me," Shanhai held his forehead, depressed and a little confused, "but since you don't even know about Wu Yuangui, how did you know about it?" Isn't it known to everyone in the world except himself? This seems unlikely. ”
Xie Hualing complained: "I don't even know that there is such a thing, I only know the past of the sect master-he has no scruples, he says this to everyone, but everyone appreciates his honesty and courage." It's just the first time I've heard about the long return, and Ah Yu didn't even tell me! ”
"Although I did not promise the subject not to say it," Xie Huayu leaned back in his chair tiredly, "Because of this, I don't know if it's true or not, whether it's waking up or dreaming." ”
"What do you mean by that?"
"These are all things that a guy told me when he was drunk, and we would have ...... Not very familiar. Luckily, it was just the two of us that day, and no one else heard about it. ”
"Is it the master?" Dai Luan asked.
"It's Yan Muxue."
“……”
"In the past ten years, the head of the sect has received many disciples, and Mu Wan is the last one. Her characters and personality are very similar to his daughter's - this is what he said himself. Even her age when she started was the same as when his daughter left. He does like her, but Yan Muxue ...... She was the first female disciple he had ever accepted. Her age and appearance are also very similar to his daughter. In other words, if the geese are still ...... Also, he is still by his side, and he is the same age as his daughter. ”
So he treated Yan Muxue as his own, and even told these secrets - maybe Yan Muxue was also under pressure and never mentioned it to anyone, but it was only known because of an accident...... Luckily, you're the listener. Shanhai sighed.
“…… Are you telling the truth? ”
This is the voice of the fifth man.
Xie Huayu suddenly turned his head, and everyone also looked in the direction of the source of the sound - Mu Wan woke up at some point, stood at the door of the room, and listened to everything they said quietly.
"Little, little junior sister" Xie Huayu stood up in a panic, "Listen to me, I didn't mean to hide it from you-"
"I know...... I know it all, I can understand it. ”
Mu Wan said as he walked towards this side. Maybe the wine hadn't woken up completely, her steps were a little staggering, Xie Hualing and Dai Luan both ran up to help her steady.
If you can't afford these stories, who would want to put them on the shoulders of those close to you.
Mu Wan smiled bitterly: "It's just that she doesn't like to drink, and I didn't practice drinking when I was a child." ”
Xie Huayu thought for a moment and took out the stack of papers from his arms.
"You...... Now that you're awake, take a look at this. Ah Ling and Ah Luan were greedy for fun, and ran to Senior Sister Yan's room during dinner tonight. These things were found from her. I know it's not good to just take it...... But I still want you to see, is this Mu Xue's handwriting? ”
Mu Wan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly grabbed the stack of papers and looked through it.
"This one isn't ...... It was sent by her family, and it should be her father's handwriting. This one belongs to her mother, who likes to nag about homely ...... This is her grandmother's, she is an old man of letters, and her writing is the most beautiful. She is now deceased, though. Alas, the senior sister kept all the letters so early...... Ah, this one. ”
"Which one?" A few people came up.
"This one, and this one...... These excerpts of the poems are all her words. Wait, this sentence is...... Where did it come from? Did she write it herself? ”
Shanhai took the piece of paper. Compared to other dense and neat papers, there are only two sentences on it.
Near and far back to the cold night, half a pond of snow inkstone pear blossoms.
"I don't read a lot of books, I'm not sure if there's any other source, at least I haven't seen it......," he said.
Xie Huayu suddenly snatched the remaining ones, those were all verses. She looked at it repeatedly, her expression becoming more and more nervous.
“…… What's wrong? Mu Wan asked cautiously.
"It's different...... It's really different. ”
