Chapter 43 Into the Mirror
The stories of all living beings do not have the gorgeous words in books.
But every ordinary person, from birth to death, who does not experience good and evil?
The story of the female water ghost is very vulgar.
More than a hundred years ago, when the land of the Tang Dynasty was in turmoil, a female water ghost who was still a student made a private life-long arrangement with her handsome male classmate. She gave everything to him beside the lotus pond.
The male classmate went to join the army, and the female water ghost was waiting for him.
After waiting, she was surprised to find that she was pregnant.
As a student, a pregnant student, and in that feudal and superstitious era, you can imagine how scary it would be to gossip, and you might even be immersed in a pig cage.
So she didn't dare to tell anyone and could only hide her big belly.
She was pregnant for ten months and hiding her baby was very hard.
No one knows how she managed to survive and give birth to the child of her love with him.
He was a boy who was undernourished and weighed only three and a half pounds when he was born.
In order to deceive others, she hid the child in the cellar.
The land of the Tang Kingdom was in turmoil. I heard that the war in the north was in chaos and the people were in dire straits. There were severe droughts one after another, and the roads were full of people dying of hunger. Soon, hunger spread to where she was.
She saved every bite she could eat for the child, but the child was still hungry and skinny.
Children always cry out that they are hungry.
It lasted like this for three years.
Finally, she heard from him.
He made military exploits and became an official.
He married a girl from a warlord's family.
He has already forgotten himself.
She came to his door and was humiliated, scolded, and beaten severely. She begged hard, hoping that for the sake of the child, he would take her in and give her and her mother something to eat.
The child is hungry.
A nineteen-year-old girl with a three-year-old child. Life is too hard in these troubled times.
Too bitter.
The girl was kicked out of the door ruthlessly.
Desperate, desperate.
She hates it!
Holding the child in her arms, she came to the lotus pond where she had met him. Wearing her only red skirt, she tied the skinny child to her body and jumped into the lotus pond.
An endless darkness enveloped it.
I don't know how long it took, but in its hazy consciousness, it heard a crisp ringing sound.
Then there's the moonlight.
The moonlight shines on my body and feels very comfortable.
It opened its eyes and saw a yellow-robed Taoist standing on the ground, ringing the soul-catching bell. There was a wet corpse on the ground, with no skin and flesh, leaving only white bones.
It understands that these are its bones.
Among the bones in the abdominal cavity, there is also a group of small bones of a child.
That belongs to his son.
Taoist Huangpao seemed very satisfied: "This is just a good material for making a Zi Mu Sha."
After saying that, he turned his head and stared at its position with a pair of dark eyes: "I see you are full of resentment and hatred. Very good, very good!
Do you want revenge?"
"I can let you take revenge with your own hands, but you, mother and son, will be bound to the mirror for the rest of your lives and will never be reincarnated to be used by me."
Taoist Huangpao said again.
It lowered its head and saw a small group of black ghosts. That was its own son. It was hungry and bit its own fingers until only the finger bones were left.
It hates!
Sure enough, it still hates it!
"Very good, then come in."
The yellow-robed Taoist nodded, took out a bronze mirror, and trapped the female water ghost's soul in the mirror.
The war in the Tang Dynasty has come to an end, but the war is even more chaotic and the warlords are separatist.
Today, the Li family is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations. As the largest warlord near Spring City, Li Shirong is in high spirits. He is over fifty years old and has taken good care of himself. Today is the day when his son will marry the daughter of the Wu family.
The Wu family is a high-ranking official in Chongcheng. Although he is a warlord, he still needs to be recognized by the government. The government of the Republic of China was corrupt, retreated steadily, and lived in a corner of Chongcheng.
However, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and he climbed into the Wu family. From then on, he was appointed by the Republic of China government. In the name of the Supreme Emperor of Chuncheng, he was really secure in his position.
To this end, he specially imported several Mercedes-Benz cars from Germany and built a six-horse-wide road to welcome the bride.
Cars are rare items and have never been seen by locals.
The procession to welcome the bride sat in a car with red wedding bouquets, scattering flowers along the way, and was followed by little kids wearing tattered trousers along the way.
Children picked up wedding candies thrown out of the car.
Wedding candies are also a foreign product and are very rare.
The car stopped at Li's house, but when the beaming Li Shirong ordered his servants to open the car door, everyone was frightened.
The blood was soaring into the sky, and blood flowed out from inside the car door.
Six cars, all the people in each car died.
The bride died horribly, with a pierced intestine and a ruptured abdomen. There was a bronze mirror in the hollowed-out abdomen, which reflected Li Shirong's horrified and twisted face.
The evil ghost seeks the soul.
That night, no one in the Li family survived.
"My revenge was avenged, even though it was decades late. It allowed the betrayed man to live a good life for several decades longer."
The female water ghost suddenly raised her head: "My hands are already covered with blood. When I was a fierce ghost, I was still ignorant. But now I wake up and I know what I have done. Not only is it revenge, I also did it for the yellow-robed Taoist.
There have been more outrageous things."
Its soul was smiling, and it bowed respectfully: "Thank you, Master, for helping me realize my last wish."
"Please, sir, send me on my last journey.
Let me stop doing evil."
"Okay, then I'll send the girl off on her way!"
With a thrust of the sword, the female water ghost completely disappeared into light particles, part of which dissipated and part of which merged into Liu Hou's body.
But after listening to the story of the female water ghost, Liu Hou felt a wave of confusion in his heart that lingered for a long time.
No wonder he had long thought that this female water ghost was a bit uncharacteristic. It turned out that she was not a natural ghost, but was captured by a Taoist in yellow robes, made into a child-mother demon, and sealed in a mirror.
What does this have to do with Zhuang Xiaoxia's physical body entering the mirror?
Who is that yellow-robed Taoist?
Where is the mirror that holds the female water ghost? Are there other ghosts in the mirror?
From the description of the female water ghost, it is obvious that the yellow-robed Taoist is not simple.
That bronze mirror should be a magic weapon. Why did the magic weapon eventually end up in Xicheng Middle School?
What secrets are hidden in Xicheng Middle School?
Liu Hou frowned, and the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. Suddenly, he saw a faint flash of lightning through the window of Zhuang Xiaoxia's dormitory, as if there was a fierce fight.
"No, there's something going on with Master."
Liu Hou grabbed the eight-sided wooden sword and rushed towards the girls' dormitory.
In Dormitory Building No. 306, everything has calmed down.
Liu Hou opened the door and rushed into the room. He saw the master stepping on a filthy thing with blood-eyed eyes, with a calm expression on his face.
"Hundred-eyed demon!"
Liu Hou was stunned.
Why does the Hundred-Eyed Demon appear here? This thing shouldn't always appear on the pedestrian streets of bustling cities. Once it finds the right eye, it will follow it secretly. Seize the opportunity and dig out the eyes you like from the human body.
Come down and put it on yourself?
But the Bai-Eyed Demon's habits don't like places like schools and hospitals. Schools are full of brats, which doesn't fit with its aesthetics. Hospitals are full of patients, and the patients' eyes are unhealthy.
This hundred-eyed monster is already dead.
"It was detained here." Ni Yuefei had obviously interrogated the monster: "It was talking about a yellow-robed Taoist who detained it in the mirror."
"It's Taoist Huangpao again."
Liu Hou frowned slightly and told the story of the female water ghost exactly.
According to the female water ghost, more than fifty years ago, an old yellow-robed Taoist captured its soul and entered it into the mirror. More than fifty years later, another yellow-robed Taoist appeared and captured the hundred-eyed demon into the mirror.
There, it was also placed in Xicheng Middle School.
If these are the same person, it would be a bit unscientific.
Could it be that the yellow-robed Taoist is over a hundred years old?
Ni Yuefei's eyes sparkled in the darkness, and she dropped a big bag on Liu Hou: "You have defeated the female water ghost. It has already told me how to save Zhuang Xiaoxia. Let's go."
"Where to go?"
Liu Hou asked.
"Go to the bathroom on the second floor of the high school teaching building. I want to go into the mirror and rescue Zhuang Xiaoxia."
The master said calmly.
Liu Hou's head suddenly got bigger: "Master, you want to go into the mirror? Think twice!"
