The dim light of the oil lamp shone on Liang Mi's face, but his face turned pale.

No, it's his face that's what it is.

Mother Li's words still echoed in Li Daoxuan's ears, and he also thought of it.

One night about ten years ago.

Liang Dayou's house suddenly caught fire, which was originally a thatched roof, and when the neighbors found out, the fire was already too big to be saved.

Probably because it was late at night, a family of three did not escape from the fire.

It's a bizarre thing, according to common sense, it's just a room, even if it burns to the head of the bed, it can jump out of the window.

But none of their families ran out.

Li Daoxuan remembered that Liang Dayou's son was indeed called ...... Liang Mi!

"But why do I remember it now? I couldn't remember it before, and Zhou Yaya and they all knew Liang Mi! ”

There are too many thoughts in his heart, but Li Daoxuan can't care about them so much.

He jerked out the pig-killing knife at his waist...... He stabbed out, but the knives were in front of him, and he suddenly found that the scene in front of him seemed to be in a trance.

Liang Mi stepped back in a panic and tripped over the chair, "Brother Daoxuan, what are you doing?!" Are you crazy? ”

The pig-killing knife stabbed the air.

Li Daoxuan shook his head and woke up in shock.

He jerked towards the door of Li's mother's room, the door was closed, and there was no figure in sight.

Li Daoxuan glanced at Liang Mi, who was lying on the ground again, with panic in his eyes, and knocked open the door of Li's mother without saying a word.

Inside, there was a quiet place.

Mother Li, who was asleep, got up in a daze, "What's the matter with you...... You don't have to sleep at night! ”

"Something is wrong, something is wrong."

Li Daoxuan was holding a pig-killing knife, and his head seemed to be filled with something, and he was extremely swollen and painful.

His eyes were red, and he glanced at Mother Li with his head in his hands, and in the hall behind him, Liang Mi was still crawling out in a panic.

Li Daoxuan roared angrily, ran back to the room directly, slammed the door shut, leaned against the door, slowly slipped down, and sat on the ground.

It wasn't until this moment that he felt the sudden swelling pain in his mind, and he didn't stop a little.

The lost reason finally slowly returned to his body.

He looked at the pig-killing knife in his hand and smiled bitterly.

"Ghost, who's the ghost!"

"Brother Daoxuan?"

Liang Mi's voice sounded outside the door again, but as soon as he thought of Liang Mi, Li Daoxuan's miserable white dead face would appear in his mind.

The feeling of losing my mind came again, and my temples ached.

Li Daoxuan clenched the pig-killing knife in his hand tightly, and resisted the urge to open the door and stab him.

Liang Mi continued: "Brother Daoxuan, although I don't know what's wrong with you, I ...... But I'll go first, I'll wait for you at the mountain temple. ”

After speaking, the footsteps disappeared, and the impulse in Li Daoxuan's heart gradually calmed down.

He leaned against the door and sat all night until dawn.

Mother Li knocked on the door, he woke up from his daze, looked at the pig-killing knife in his hand, turned back casually, and rubbed his face again, so that he could look more energetic.

The young man of eighteen or nineteen, who didn't sleep all night, didn't have any effect, and was still in good spirits.

"What happened to you last night?" There was a hint of worry in Li's mother's eyes.

"It's okay...... Mother, do you know Liang Mi? ”

Li Daoxuan calmed down last night and thought about it carefully for a while, and finally found that Liang Mi, to be precise, was a family of three of the Liang family, all died in the sudden fire.

"Liang Mi?"

Mother Li repeated, "You mean the baby who has a family?" Didn't he die early? What does this do, you ask? ”

When Li Daoxuan heard this, he finally smiled bitterly, "It's okay, is breakfast ready, I'll go out for dinner." ”

Li Daoxuan felt as if he knew something.

"Okay, I'm here to call you for dinner."

After having breakfast in a hurry, Li Daoxuan didn't say anything and left directly.

He didn't rush to the mountain temple, but came to Zhou's house first, knocked on the door, and called Zhou Yaya.

The latter didn't seem to be waking up a little, wearing an ill-fitting coarse linen robe, rubbing his eyes, "Brother Li, what's wrong?" ”

Li Daoxuan didn't say any more nonsense, and said straightforwardly: "Liang Mi is back." ”

"Liang Mi?"

Zhou Yaya, who was still awake, kept repeating the name "Liang Mi".

Suddenly, she looked up, as if she had finally remembered.

"Liang Mita...... Wasn't he already dead?! ”

"Then who was the one who was playing with us at that time......" Zhou Yaya took a step back, as if she thought of something again, "I remember a few days before my father died, he always seemed to be babbling, saying that it was impossible and impossible, and my mother said the same!" ”

Zhou Yaya raised her head and said eagerly, "Brother Li, do you know something?!" ”

"No, I don't know."

Li Daoxuan couldn't believe it anymore, shook his head, and said, "I'll leave first, you go back first." ”

After saying that, he turned his head and left, without the slightest pause.

Behind her back, Zhou Yaya twisted the corners of her clothes, trying to keep up...... But I didn't dare.

didn't go far, and another person stopped Li Daoxuan.

It's Aunt Wu!

Since Wu Fa's death, Li Daoxuan hasn't seen her for a long time, and it's only been a few days, and then their mother and daughter are living in seclusion, and they lock the door on weekdays.

"Aunt Wu, what's wrong?"

Li Daoxuan stopped, and his hand naturally rested on the pig-killing knife behind his waist.

Aunt Wu didn't come closer, stopped from a distance, and said quite crampedly: "Dao...... Dao Xuan, I have been sorting out your master's relics for the past two days, and I found that he seems to have left something for you. ”

"Something? What is it? ”

"This."

Aunt Wu took out something wrapped in red cloth from her sleeve, and the red cloth had faded a little, making it look dark red.

Li Daoxuan wanted to go over and pick it up, but Aunt Wu threw it directly, and then turned around and ran, this place is not far from the Zhou family, she doesn't dare to stay here for a long time.

The thing was thrown on the ground, and Li Daoxuan stepped forward to pick it up.

The red cloth was wrapped very tightly, and Li Daoxuan opened it for a long time before opening it, and it was about the size of a palm...... Bronze mirror?!

The wear is very serious, and the back can only be vaguely seen, engraved with a picture of a mandarin duck playing in the water.

Li Daoxuan flipped over, and with just one glance, he was a little frightened, and his figure subconsciously took a step back.

What he couldn't see was that when he took a step back, his figure disappeared directly in place, but then he seemed to be attracted by some suction force and dragged him back abruptly.

He didn't know any of this, he only knew that in the mirror...... Not himself.

The bronze mirror was empty.

Li Daoxuan didn't know why, he just hurriedly put away the bronze mirror and put it on his waist, but as soon as he put it in, he couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart, took out the bronze mirror, and looked at himself.

It was found that ...... The bronze mirror turned into a stone, a broken stone, and there was blood oozing from it, and he was startled and let go of his hand.

The bronze mirror fell to the ground and fell apart.

It was no longer a bronze mirror, but a stone-shaped mirror, shattered.

Why...... Will it be?

Li Daoxuan didn't know, and he couldn't figure it out, he just found one thing, that is, the newly returned Liang Mi was definitely wrong!

I don't know who to call, there was originally a pig killer master who could call to help.

But he died in a daze, and Li Daoxuan could only go by himself, but fortunately, there was still a pig-killing knife.

Xu is often killing pigs, and the pig-killing knife is very handy.

After two teas, Li Daoxuan came from the village to the vicinity of the mountain temple at the end of the village.

Before he stepped forward, he found that there were already a lot of debris piled up at the entrance of this mountain temple.

After a few glances, Li Daoxuan could see that these were all things in the mountain temple.

So...... Liang Mi is tidying up this mountain temple?

Before he could leave, a young man in a green shirt walked out with great difficulty holding a collapsed brick, tired and sweating profusely.

As soon as he walked to the door, he put down the brick, raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead, and also saw Li Daoxuan.

He beckoned vigorously, "Brother Daoxuan! ”

Looking at his joyful appearance, Li Daoxuan, who had just raised his legs, stopped again.

His mood was complicated, he didn't know how to face Liang Mi, in case he was really a ghost...... In case he's not a ghost.

But Liang Mi had already run over, with the unique vitality of a young man on his face.

"Brother Daoxuan, why did you come here so early, I was cleaning up this mountain temple, and I will live here in the future." Liang Mi said with a grin.

"What, you're not going out?"

Li Daoxuan was also distracted by his natural words.

"If you don't go out, you will be in our village in the future."

"Where's your gentleman?"

"Dead." Liang Mi said very indifferently and unimpressedly.

Li Daoxuan's originally polite smile also froze on his face, and then slowly disappeared.

"Who the hell are you?"

Li Daoxuan asked seriously.

"It's me, Liang Mi."

The young man in the green shirt smiled brightly, but Li Daoxuan didn't think so, "That ghost in the village is you, right?" ”

"Brother Daoxuan, do you really think ...... Are there ghosts in this village? Liang Mi's smile slowly disappeared from his face.

"Come with me and you'll understand."

After Liang Mi finished speaking, he put his hands in front of his lower abdomen, turned around and walked towards the mountain temple, his posture was extremely upright, not at all like the slug back then.

Li Daoxuan hesitated slightly, but still followed with a pig-killing knife.

Not far away, the mountain temple is close in front of you, and the overgrown weeds in it have been uprooted by Liang Mi.

Several of the original depressions and water accumulation areas were also filled in with newly dug soil.

Even the wooden table on which the idol was placed was wiped clean.

"The first one to die was your father, and it was Wu Fa who killed him, do you know these?"

Liang Mi, who is obviously still a child, talks about these things, but his tone is extremely ordinary, as if he ...... It was as if he had seen it in his eyes.

"Yes." After a little hesitation, Li Daoxuan still told the truth.

"Do you know why Wu Fa killed your father?" After Liang Mi finished speaking, he seemed to expect that Li Daoxuan would not know, so he simply replied: "They made an enmity when they were young, when Wu Fa was young, he relied on his strong body, and he was the child king of this Huangliang Village, and every boy of your father's generation was bullied by him." ”

"Later, your father couldn't get angry, so he united with several other children and used clever tricks, and finally succeeded in tying Wu Fa to the tree at the entrance of the village...... Oh yes, the old locust tree that burned him. ”

"Wu Fa was stripped naked and tied to that tree for a long time before he was found and rescued, and since then, he has secretly made up his mind that he must kill your father."

"Then why is he still bent on taking me as an apprentice?"

Li Daoxuan was puzzled.

Liang Mi didn't look back, but answered Li Daoxuan's question, "Do you really think it...... Are you like your dad? ”

"Huh?"

As soon as Liang Mi said this, a long-lost thought in Li Daoxuan's heart suddenly came to mind.

Without waiting for Li Daoxuan to think more, Liang Mi continued: "The second person who died was Zhou Yaya's father...... He was also killed by Wu Fa. ”

"He's too?"

Li Daoxuan had a hint of suspicion in his words, but he remembered what Zhou Yaya said, he saw with his own eyes that it was her mother who killed her father!

Liang Mi didn't look back, but he was smiling, "Brother Daoxuan, have you forgotten what you experienced last night?" ”

Last night...... Li Daoxuan's face instantly became a little hideous, last night, he saw his mother come out to speak, but in fact she didn't.

But in the next moment, Li Daoxuan calmed down again.

He figured out something, and then asked: "Then how did the die, it was also killed by Wu Fa, and these people who died in the village were actually killed by Wu Fa?" ”

"Yes."

Liang Mi nodded very seriously, "Brother Dao Xuan is my Brother Dao Xuan, obviously I haven't said anything yet, but I know everything." ”

"Wu Fa is sick, here is sick."

Liang Mi turned his back to Li Daoxuan, reached out and knocked on the door of his head.

"So...... You've never left the village, have you? Li Daoxuan was poor and asked the doubts in his heart.

Liang Mi, who had already stopped, said with a smile: "That's the case, Brother Daoxuan, what you have done over the years has actually been seen by me." ”

"Who the hell are you?"

Li Daoxuan had already reached out and grabbed the handle of the pig-killing knife.

"Do you know why I've been living inside the Mountain Temple?" Liang Mi said as he slowly turned his head, "Because my family ...... Right here. ”

Liang Mi turned back completely, and Li Daoxuan finally saw it clearly.

At this moment, the human face on Liang Mi's head ...... It turned into mud.

It was the head of the statue of the mountain god lying on the ground!

Liang Mi is actually the mountain god here.

"You...... You ......"

Li Daoxuan was so frightened that he was a little speechless.

"I am...... O mountain god. ”

Liang Mi smiled very happily, at first he only laughed slightly, but then, the laughter became louder and louder, and at the end, he was even more crazy.

"Poof—"

The next moment, his laughter stopped abruptly.

Because a sharp pig-killing knife pierced him in the chest, his expression seemed to be a little incredulous, "You...... Why did you kill me? ”

Li Daoxuan's expression was hideous, he couldn't see what he was thinking at all, he just twisted the handle of the pig-killing knife vigorously and slowly rotated it, as if he wanted to directly shatter Liang Mi's heart.

"Pretending to be a ghost, talking nonsense, killing you, my ears are pure!" Li Daoxuan was extremely crazy, and he didn't see any fear at all, but was very ...... Excited.

It's like, that's how he came from.

Liang Mi's figure slowly disappeared, and the pig-killing knife that stabbed him in the chest did not bleed.

After a brief moment of surprise, he had regained his composure.

"Brother Daoxuan, I have to say, you are very unexpected to me, I might as well tell you that the village is ...... There's a ghost, that ghost, trying to kill you. ”

"Oh?"

Li Daoxuan put away his knife, turned his head to look at the mutilated idol, and he strode over. With a direct kick, he knocked down the square table where the idol was enshrined.

The statue of the god, which was already shattered, was even more damaged at this moment.

Li Daoxuan walked closer, stepped on the chest of the idol with his foot, and said seriously: "I only found one problem. ”

Liang Mi's voice really came out of this clay god statue, "What's the problem?" ”

"You don't seem to be able to deal with me...... Although I don't know why. ”

"How do you know?"

At this point, Liang Mi is no longer hiding.

"Because if you want to be able to deal with me, there's no need to talk so much nonsense, just tell me this and that, wouldn't it be good to do it directly?"

After Li Daoxuan finished speaking, he violently exerted his strength, directly stomping on the chest of this god statue.

"Now I'm just going to ask you one thing, who the hell is that ghost?!"

"Hehe, Brother Daoxuan, do you think I'm going to tell you? Do you think you can really deal with me? ”

Liang Mi seemed to have made up his mind, and Li Daoxuan couldn't deal with him.

"Oh."

Li Daoxuan stepped down a few feet and trampled the statue to pieces, but Liang Mi's voice still echoed in this temple, and the hot people were upset.

So Li Daoxuan left, and when he came back again, he already had an extra fire fold in his hand, and an extra handful of dry straw from the grain field.

"What? You want to burn down my temple?! ”

Liang Mi's voice finally had a hint of panic, "Crazy, you're a madman!" ”

Li Daoxuan didn't reply, but answered him with practical actions, threw the straw in the four corners of the mountain temple, and lit it directly with fire.

He had just left the temple when a fire burned inside.

Then he didn't look at it, and turned around and walked straight to the south.

Because at the moment when the ignition was just ignited, he had something more definite to guess, but he was not sure yet, so he decided to give it a try.

The fire in the mountain temple behind him had reached the point where it could not be extinguished, and Li Daoxuan also sped up his pace, but at this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Brother Li, where are you going?"

Li Daoxuan turned around with a pig-killing knife and looked at the familiar figure, "So that ghost in the village is you, right?" ”

The expression on Zhou Yaya's face gradually changed, from the doubts at the beginning, to the seriousness now, "It's too late to kill Wu Fa......"

Li Daoxuan ignored it, the big day was empty, he was facing Zhou Yaya, but his steps were crazy backwards.

He's walking on his back, he's going to ...... Riverside!

He wanted to see if he existed!

When I looked at the bronze mirror given by Wu Fa before, the first time I didn't see my figure in the bronze mirror.

But the second time I looked at it, the bronze mirror turned directly into stone.

The people in the village who have this means are nothing more than Liang Mi, or the ...... in front of them Zhou Yaya.

From this point of view, no matter who one of them is, they don't want to let themselves look in the mirror, and it is only after thinking about this that Li Daoxuan found out.

In my mind, it seems that I don't have the memory of looking in the mirror.

In other words, he didn't even know what he looked like, but he knew from others that he was quite handsome.

Seeing Li Daoxuan retreating and walking faster and faster, Zhou Yaya finally raised her head.

"I don't know if I'm a guest in my dreams."

She shook her head slightly, "This is the end of it...... This dream is broken by you. ”

"But you must know that you can get out of this dream by your own means!"

After speaking, she raised her white little hand and snapped her fingers, and the space around her was shattered like a mirror, including herself and Li Daoxuan......

……

In the pitch-black room, Li Daoxuan sat up suddenly, sensing everything around him, and the realm instantly stretched out.

He let out a long sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"It's good that I finally came out of this damn dream!"
