Chapter 41: The Truth

The mysterious shadow of my father's death, the leader of the forces in the shadows, the creator of all the cycles of cause and effect, finally unveiled her mask in front of me at this moment, and at the moment I saw her true face, my mind went blank for an instant, and I felt as if a voice was crying out in my heart, this person ...... I know! Her face looked unfamiliar, but it was so familiar, the last time I saw her when I was eight years old, she was...... My mother!

How is this possible? For more than 20 years, I have brought her favorite flowers and pastries to her grave every year, and all the memories she left me have been fixed on that thunderstorm afternoon when I was eight years old, haven't she been dead for more than 20 years? The man in front of him...... Who is it?

"Brother Yang...... Brother Yang! What happened to you? Wake up! ”

My mind was pulled back to reality by a rush of calls! Xinyi didn't know when she had already sat down next to me.

"Brother Yang, are you okay, are you ...... Know my master? ”

I nodded subconsciously, looked at the middle-aged woman again, and said in a trembling voice, "She is...... My mother! ”

"Nope! I'm not your mother! The woman in front of me immediately interrupted me: "In Lao Zhao's words, I am just a shadow of your mother!" It's time for it all to come to an end! 30 years ago, your father only cared about his own money, often left your mother alone, and your mother's magnanimous and submissive character finally determined her miserable life! For every time your father runs away from home, she never dares to say a word, she is willing to be an ordinary woman at home who works hard and has no hope for life! Even when she was already pregnant with you, your father still resolutely chose to leave for the sake of the ghost mirror! At that time, as her shadow, I saw all this in my eyes, although your mother dared to be angry and dare not speak, but I couldn't do it, I ...... for your mother Hold on to the grievances! ”

"So, you started trying to figure out how to get my father ...... Returning to the family, pestering him all the way, and threatening other people's lives? ”

"Nope! At that time, I was just a shadow of your mother, and even though I had this heart, the body and the shadow must always maintain the same principle, so I can only be your mother's possession! That black shadow, as Lao Zhao said earlier, is your mother's (2nd) form: the projection in the ghost mirror! Counting your mother is the first person among all to be cursed by the ghost mirror, she in the mirror, and now I have the same personality characteristics, she was out of good intentions at first, and wanted to persuade your father to return to the family, but then I thought about the wolf master's personality, and your mother's obedient character, even if she can persuade this time, there will be a next time, so she changed her mind and wanted to take the ghost mirror for herself! She lurked by your father's side from the beginning, she was the first to know about the wolf master getting the ghost mirror, she used the threat of killing other people in the team to force your father to hand over the ghost mirror, but even if the people in the team died one after another, the wolf master was unmoved, and in the end she could only use your mother as a threat, and the wolf was also forced to helplessly, and secretly put the ghost mirror in the Kunlun Mountain Crystal Palace! On the way back, in the stone room, she crawled out of the sarcophagus, and happened to meet the wolf, beard, and glasses. The wolf master and the bearded man immediately escaped from the tomb, leaving only the timid glasses spread on the ground and did not dare to move, she failed to find the ghost mirror because of the wolf master's fraud, and since then she has been angry and the killing machine has risen, and the knife has fallen, and the glasses have died in the tomb! Then chased the wolf master into the tomb, on the way the bearded man hid in the fork in the road and picked up a life, she chased the wolf all the way out of the ground, and pushed the wolf down the mountain at the moment when the wolf saw her face clearly! Therefore, 30 years ago, it was actually your mother who put your father to death in the ghost mirror, and I was her shadow, and I have long been unable to stand your mother's attitude towards behavior, she is indecisive, submissive, and hard-working! Such an ordinary woman can no longer be ordinary, why should I be my subject, since then, I began to plot secretly, I don't want to be a shadow who is instructed by others, I want to be the body that can dominate the shadow! Eight years later, your mother became seriously ill, and her vitality gradually reached its weakest level, and I seized the opportunity, and at the moment when she was about to take her last breath, I exchanged identities with her, and since then I have become the essence, and your mother has become my shadow! From then on I drove your mother's body out of your sight, and all of you from that afternoon, only if your mother was dead! I have already seen through your mother's tragic life, and I am upset with the shadows of those cowardly and submissive ontologies, why should the shadows of these people be dominated by such a ontology? As long as these shadows are given a chance to be ontologies, the trajectory of their previous idle lives will definitely be rewritten! So I started a great plan, I want to make the ghost mirror reappear in the world, I want to awaken the thinking consciousness of more people's shadows, when the shadow realizes that what its ontology is no longer worthy of dominating it, the shadow will wait for the opportunity to replace the ontology, so that the original idle life trajectory will shine again, and live a new attitude! The first step in the implementation of this plan is to find the ghost mirror first, but no one except the wolf master back then knows where the ghost mirror is hidden, not to mention that the wolf master died 30 years ago. Later, I finally figured out a little, since I can exchange identities with your mother and regain my life, then the wolf master must be able to too, as long as I can find the 'wolf master' who appears in a new identity, then, finding the ghost mirror is just around the corner! But in the vast sea of people, it is not easy to lock this person, in the end, I fixed my goal on you, because you are the person who is most concerned about the wolf master, if he can get life again, he will definitely come back to you. Sure enough, when you grow up, in your life circle, a person who matches the age of the wolf master will begin to appear, and this person is ...... Lao Zhao. After a long period of observation, I was almost certain that this old Zhao was the new identity of the wolf master, and he was also the same as me, from a shadow who replaced the main body! But there is one thing I didn't expect, although the predecessor of this old Zhao is the shadow of the wolf master, but he doesn't remember where the wolf master hid the ghost mirror before his death, he only remembers that it should be a few places in the dragon vein of Jiaolong going out to sea, the wolf master looked for the mirror for the Changbai Glacier - Inner Mongolia Ghost Tower - Western Regions Loulan - South China Sea Cloud Island - Kunlun Labyrinth - Tomb Wang Ding, so Lao Zhao went the opposite way, directly from the Tomb Wang Ding to start looking, his purpose in looking for the ghost mirror is to lift the curse for you, But he can't tell you the reason for this, so he wants to woo you to go with him to the Tomb of the Gods, at first he was afraid that he would not be able to convince you, so he first persuaded your other good brother...... Monkey, I didn't expect this monkey to be a suspicious person, he hated you because of the disaster of imprisonment three years ago, after entering the Tomb Wang Ding, he began to kill you, but unexpectedly when he attacked Xinyi, he was killed by Xinyi, from that moment on, the shadow of the monkey successfully replaced the body, and returned to you with a kind personality of the monkey! In the years before Lao Zhao came to you, he was also looking for two other companions from 30 years ago: Bearded and Glasses, and he guessed that Bearded and Glasses might have had the same experience as him, and they might have been replaced by his shadow and reborn. He pursued it for several years and finally zeroed in on one of its targets...... Sunspot! He secretly found that this sunspot would often appear in these six places in the dragon vein, so he concluded that the sunspot was one of the bearded and glasses, so he guided the sunspot as 'L' to go to the Divine Tomb King Ding in advance to wait for your arrival! After a long period of observation, I repinned my hope of finding the ghost mirror on Lao Zhao's body, so from the moment you entered the Divine Tomb Wang Ding, I arranged for my most trusted apprentice to follow you all the way, she is Dong Xinyi! Don't look at her as just a weak woman, but she has helped you a lot in the Tomb King's Ding! She has helped you intercept human corpses, and that panoramic photo of the Tomb King Ding is her masterpiece on the cliff platform! Coming out of the Tomb of the Gods, you were seriously injured and admitted to a hospital in Beijing, in order to be able to fully understand your dynamics, I placed Xinyi in the hospital as a trainee nurse for you to know, and then the rest of the ...... You already know it! Now I'm tired, I don't want to continue the plan of the shadow to replace the ontology, my original intention was to let the shadows with ideals and ambitions replace the ontologies that do nothing, so that the shadows can have a chance to dominate their own lives! But human nature has both good and evil sides, after replacing the ontology, the evil personality of the shadow will be integrated into the new identity accordingly, just like me, I was originally the shadow of your mother, I looked down on her kind of submissive life, I was obviously tired but pretended to be peaceful, after exchanging identities with your mother, my life is only for myself, and I also have ideals, I have a shadow' But later, I gradually began to realize that while I gave this new life ideals and autonomy, I also injected it with greed, hatred, and cynical evil personality! Whether this is good or bad, the weighing between the pros and cons made me start to waver about this plan, and I began to have such a feeling that what kind of identity and which attitude of life should be used by human beings to complete their lives should depend on human beings themselves, and we have no right to reverse and change, we should let everything ...... Let it be! ”
