Chapter XXVII



Things have developed so far, it has completely exceeded Xiuxiu's imagination, and she can't figure out what is going on in front of her anyway? Could it be a ghost?

Thinking of this ghost word, Xiuxiu couldn't help but shudder, she no longer looked at the group of crying Germans, but patted Xiaohua's cheek, and said eagerly: "Xiaohua...... What the hell is wrong with you, wake up. However, Xiaohua was still like a dead person, expressionless, the skin under Xiuxiu's palm was stiff and cold, she couldn't help but panic, what was going on?

Could it really be ...... Ghost?

Thinking of this, Xiuxiu felt that everything in front of her had become wrong, obviously there was no wind, but the snow was drifting diagonally to the east, obviously it was so cold, her legs were stuck in the snow, but her trouser legs were not soaked at all.

If it's really that kind of thing, what if that's it? Xiuxiu bit her lip, if she encounters zongzi, she knows how to deal with it, black donkey hooves, glutinous rice, thousand money ropes, how to use it, where to use it, she knows it, after all, what the Huo family does is zongzi, but if it is a ghost, she really doesn't know how to deal with it.

But at this moment, Xiuxiu thought that she could only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor. She remembered the legend of the ghost mirror that Mrs. Huo told before her death.

Mrs. Huo's education is very strict, in addition to the orthodox training of her children and grandchildren, her free time, words and deeds, all have deep meaning. Xiuxiu remembered that she was more stinky and beautiful when she was adolescence, when the girl's feelings were just mature, and she couldn't help but look in the mirror, look at the braids, and look at her facial features.

One day, Xiuxiu was looking in the mirror, and Mrs. Huo saw it, so she asked, "Ah Xiu, do you know the origin of the mirror?" "The people of Lao Jiumen are not ordinary thieves, and the study of historical relics and allusions can be said to be comparable to the specialty of historical archaeology, Xiuxiu nodded, from human evolution to historical evolution, and answered Mrs. Huo's question in a general way, she said: "The invention of the mirror comes from nature, and the source is natural human curiosity about themselves." The earliest mirror is a stone mirror, but the ancestors are also called the first mirror. The stone mirror is obsidian, this kind of stone natural light shines on people, and the first mirror is the first understanding of human beings about the mirror. The shadow in the water and the person in the pupil all belong to the first mirror. The evolution of mirrors ranges from stone mirrors to bronze mirrors to glass mirrors in the modern West. ”

Xiuxiu felt that her answer was very perfect, first from the perspective of human evolution, talking about the types and branches of the mirror, although concise, but very systematic, she spoke in order, it was clear, clear, Xiuxiu was a little proud in her heart, but she knew that Mrs. Huo had a temper, so she was very calm on the surface.

Mrs. Huo nodded with satisfaction, touched Xiuxiu's hair and sat down, and then told Xiuxiu other things about the mirror.

The mirror that Mrs. Huo talked about is not a boring history, but full of mystery, so it left a deep impression on Xiuxiu.

The true origin of the mirror is no longer verifiable, and its original name was not called mirror, but Jian. In ancient times, people wanted to take pictures of themselves, and most of them looked for a calm water surface to take pictures, which was called 'shadow of water'. Among the ancient legends, there are two theories about the origin of Jian, one of which is the legend of obsidian.

Legend has it that Nuwa refined the stone to make up for the sky, and collected a piece of black yaoshi, so it was polished and smooth, and it was made into Heiyaojian. This is the first mirror in the world, and later generations have done a lot of discussions about whether Hei Yaojian really exists, which also casts a veil of mystery on this legendary first mirror in the world, and it is also said that this Hei Yaojian can illuminate the origin of the world, and it can pass through the underworld, and it can prove yin and yang on the top, and was later thrown into the sky by Nuwa and became a bright moon.

Of course, this legend is too mythical to enter the annals of history, and it is only widely circulated among the people.

But the second legend about Jian is much more reliable.

This legend is related to the Yellow Emperor, Xiuxiu found that China's affairs, all traced up, can be traced back to the Three Emperors era, just like when she was in elementary school, she was friends with a person named Zhang, the specific name is too long, and she can't remember it clearly, and later she introduced it to her family, Mrs. Huo told her the origin of the surname Zhang, and it also involved the emperor.

It turned out that one of the sons of the Yellow Emperor invented the bow and arrow and contributed to the tribal hunting, so he invented the word Zhang and gave it as a surname, Xiuxiu suddenly realized that the original surname Zhang was a direct descendant of the Yellow Emperor. Not long after, Xiuxiu met a person surnamed Wang again, but she was pulled by Mrs. Huo, and she had something to do with the Yellow Emperor, and Xiuxiu was depressed half to death at that time.

This time, as soon as she heard Mrs. Huo mention the Yellow Emperor, Xiuxiu stuck out her tongue and almost rolled her eyes.

It is said that the Yellow Emperor married the famous ugly daughter-in-law, although the mother-in-law is ugly, but the victory is gentle and virtuous, and the Yellow Emperor shares joys and sorrows, once, the mother-in-law followed other women of the tribe to dig the stone, when digging halfway, suddenly found a glittering stone tablet, and the stone tablet actually reflected their ugly face, the mother-in-law was shocked, felt very strange, so she took it home to study, she found that the surface of the stone was uneven, so the face was distorted and ugly, so the mother-in-law took the stone tablet to the grinding plate to polish it flat, and then took a photo, It's still the same ugliness, so the mother-in-law sighed and said, "It seems that the ugly face can't be blamed on the stone chips." ”

Later, the mother-in-law told the Yellow Emperor about her discovery, so the Yellow Emperor vigorously mined this stone, polished into a jian, according to legend, in the process of the emperor's conquest with Chiyou, Chiyou had recruited countless ghosts, the Yellow Emperor's men and horses were fascinated by the dragon stream, the emperor's men and horses only felt that the wind was gusting everywhere, and there was an exit on the road ahead, but it instantly became a cliff.

The emperor pondered for a long time and said, "Take a lesson and follow the way." "At that time, when there was a war, both men and women had to go to the battlefield, and most of the women had different sizes on their bodies, and the emperor gathered these together to make a sun and moon book, and a person on the other, which could penetrate the muscles and bones and follow the heart veins, and the hair on the human body, the blood and bones in the body could be seen clearly; One side shines on the dead, which can be frightened and make the ghost qi and yin art disappear without a trace; Suddenly, the ghosts summoned by those Chiyou had nothing to hide, and they called out to drill into the ground, and there was a sound of ghosts crying and wolves, and the emperor finally led the men and horses to find a way out.

And the sun and moon that shines on the flesh and bones of the living and the ghost of the dead are said to have been buried in the mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor and lost in the land of China.

Whether these legends are true or not is impossible to verify, but since ancient times, mirrors have been used for the function of the living, they can illuminate the remains, and the dead can deter the yin spirit. Therefore, there is also a kind of mirror specially used for the dead in history, called the town tomb jian.

The town tomb is an ominous thing, and the extremely vicious and evil people buried in the tomb will be put into the tomb after death, pressed on the top of the coffin, and the corpse is on the coffin, which means that the ghost of the murderer can not be haunted.

At that time, Mrs. Huo finished speaking this paragraph, Xiuxiu was stunned when she heard it, and hurriedly asked, "What else?" What else? Mrs. Huo smiled and said meaningfully: "So Ah Xiu girl, it's not a good thing to see too much in the mirror, the anode must be yin, the yin pole must be yang, and the mirror will attract ghosts if you look at it for a long time." Since then, Xiuxiu's youth has been ruined, other girls are stinky and beautiful with mirrors, and when she changes her hairstyle three times a day, she hurriedly relaxes her ponytail in front of the mirror and goes to school.

Xiuxiu looked at the strange scene in front of her, and couldn't help but feel that she didn't want to be crooked, and right now, there happened to be a bronze mirror on her body, which had been hidden close to her. The ancient mirror takes ghosts, and this bronze mirror is very bright, dazzling in the sun, and it was used for Wu Xiezhao's notes at that time.

Xiuxiu took out the small bronze mirror from the clothes, the mirror is only the size of a palm, the back of the mirror is carved with a figure of a man and a horse, the carving is very ingenious, five horses chase around the mirror, five heads and five bodies, but combined to form ten horses, similar to the design of the ancient five sons and ten children.

In such an environment, Xiuxiu didn't dare to look at the front of the mirror, for fear of seeing a ghost's face at a glance, but at this time, she had to look at it if she didn't look at it, she took a deep breath, looked at the front, and was stunned for a while, there was nothing in the mirror.

But Xiuxiu felt a chill down her spine, and the white hair on her forehead was sweating. It's daylight now, although there is a snowfield around, but the terrain is undulating, extremely uneven, where Xiuxiu is standing, there is a low snow mound behind him, so in this bronze mirror, there should also be that snow mound, but now there is nothing.

The bronze mirror was empty, and there was nothing.

Xiuxiu's wrist shook and her heart beat faster, but she soon calmed down because she understood that she had found the problem.

When they are circumnavigating the Nima Snow Mountain, if there is such a big crack, they will definitely find it, and even if they don't find it, the samba along the way will remind them. Because Samba always thought that we were tourists, so we would introduce the surrounding environment along the way, and if there was such a big canyon in the snowy mountains, then Samba would definitely say it, but Samba didn't.

At first, he and Xiaohua went into the cave, down at least thirty meters, and then kept moving forward, the road sloped upward, and walked out of a hundred meters, the possibility of walking out of the cave is not impossible, but in any case, they should not enter this big rift valley.

Xiuxiu looked at the glasses again, I don't know if it was because of the psychological effect, she always felt that the surface of the yellow and clear copper mirror seemed to be covered with a layer of gray, gloomy, like a dense fog that could not be dispersed.

In a trance, she seemed to see a pair of red eyes flashing in the thick fog.

In a flash.

Xiuxiu shivered, and suddenly a more poignant voice sounded in her ears, she subconsciously turned her head to look, and found that the people who were crying were almost crazy beating themselves, they seemed to be condemned by conscience and ethics because of eating human flesh, weak and painful, the young man who was the first to go under the knife, slapped himself fiercely, and said German in his mouth, Xiuxiu didn't understand, only faintly felt that there was madness and despair in that voice.

Xiuxiu thought that if this group of people couldn't get out, they would go crazy sooner or later.

No...... They can't get out, they're already dead. Just as Xiuxiu's eyes turned to them, Xiuxiu noticed that something was wrong, and there was one less person in this team.

When they were first found, they were a team of 9 people, and minus the dismembered ones, there should be 8 left, and now, there are only 7 people.

Suddenly, Xiuxiu's heart was cold, she thought of Xiaohua, and remembered Xiaohua's actions in following this group of people...... If you add Xiaohua, it is exactly 8 people, one is not much, and one is not many.

So...... Where did the disappeared man go?
