Chapter 91 Ghost Mirror
"Ghost Mirror?" Tofu muttered, lowered his voice and said, "This name is a bit lingering, what does it mean?"
In the darkness, Feng Guishou explained the origin to us. At the beginning, he did not see the reason for the structure of this tomb. It was not until he discovered the bronze mirror in the coffin that he remembered the legend of the "Ghost Mirror".
There is a folk saying that you cannot look in the mirror after night. It is said that it is because the mirror reflects the world in the underworld. When looking in the mirror at night, you can easily see fierce ghosts in it. The "ghost mirror" is a man-made mechanism that has always existed only in legends. It is said that three men were selected, hanging upside down on the top and putting the mirror on the head. The man's ghost was shocked by the ancient mirror and forced to suck it into the mirror. Over time, it turned into a ghost mirror.
Everything that is reflected in the ghost mirror will be brought into the world behind the mirror.
So, how do you determine whether you have encountered a ghost mirror? It’s very simple. When you find that the world around you is reversed, it means that you have entered the world of ghost mirror.

As Feng Guishou finished speaking, everyone's breathing became obviously thicker. I just felt that my heart was hanging in the air. Feng Guishou's words flashed in my mind: When you find that the world around you is turned upside down, it means that you have entered the world of the ghost mirror.
Could it be that we have... been pulled into the world of ghost mirrors?
Just thinking about this idea makes the back feel cold. For a moment, the throat seemed to be blocked with cotton, and I couldn't speak at all.
Feng Guishou probably also expected our reaction, swallowed his saliva, and said, "So, I asked you to extinguish the light. Without a light source, the mirror will not be able to shine something."
"What then?" I asked, "What should I do next?" To be honest, there is really nothing like this in my grandfather's notes.
Feng Guishou said: "I'm just speculating. I think that only by destroying the light source can we get out of this place."
Gu Wenmin was very smart and forced to calm down at this moment, saying, "No wonder we saw the same situation when we walked back and turned the corner. It seemed that before we entered this tomb chamber and were still in the tomb passage, we were already... trapped by the ghost mirror."
Feng Guishou said hoarsely: "Yes, I think so too. When I was exploring the mechanism, I felt a double dragon buckle."
Tofu said: "What is a double dragon buckle?"
I have seen this in my grandfather’s notes. The so-called double dragon buckle is a kind of mechanism. It is a life-and-death one. It is not a master. It is difficult to tell which one is dangerous and which one is safe. After explaining to Tofu, I said, "Old Feng, don’t tell me, you made a mistake on the double dragon buckle?"
In the darkness, Feng Guishou smiled bitterly and said, "Now it seems that he has chosen the wrong way. The two dragon buttons have done something wrong, misleading me, and blaming me for being blind." After hearing this, Tofu cursed and said, "Damn it, I was wondering before, why did the mechanism you opened did not automatically close, it turned out to be waiting for the people behind to get in."
Gu Wenmin sighed and said, "It's useless to say these things now. Now the lights are out and the light source is gone. Even if we want to go out, we have to choose a location. How should we go?" Feng Guishou pondered, as if he was not sure, and said, "I guess the entrance should have been closed long ago, but unfortunately..."
"What a pity?" I was anxious now. He spoke, which made me feel a little urge to beat someone. I wonder if it was because of the curse. After thinking about it carefully, my temper is indeed quite irritable and I have to suppress this irritability with indifference. If Tofu hadn't reminded me at the beginning and my own deliberate control, I would have kicked him over and greeted his ancestors with him.
Feng Guishou said: "It's a pity that there is no explosive. If there is, we might be able to blow it up."
Gu Wenmin said: "But, aren't we still in the ghost mirror?"
Feng Guishou said: "This is just a legend. Actually, I still don't believe it. Perhaps the reason why this statement is that the ancients deliberately changed the environment to us. However, it is always good to be careful." He said nothing after he said that, it seems that he couldn't think of any tricks. I am not a passive person, and I will never sit and wait for death when I encounter problems. Listening to the movements above my head, I made a fuss and said, "Open the lights."
Feng Guishou was shocked and said, "What are you going to do?"
I said, "Since it's a mirror that is causing trouble, break it; if there are ghosts inside, they will destroy these three ghosts." As I said, I turned on the light, took out the pistol from my equipment bag, and pointed it at the bronze mirror in the center of my head. As soon as I looked up, the pale face looked at me face to face, with my black mouth open, as if something would come out.
The clarity of the bronze mirror is not high, and the height is seven or eight meters, so I can only see the surface of the bronze mirror reflecting our vague shadows. Without saying a word, I fired a shot first.
The brass was relatively soft, and there was only a bang of gunshot that broke through the silence of the tomb. A large piece of the brass mirror was immediately concave into the center of the brass, and the bullets were embedded in it.
Gu Wenmin's voice was surprised, and he looked at me with a little joy, and said, "Good shooting skills."
Tofu was also very proud and said, "That's right, can my brother be bad? His best skills are to shoot pheasants. His shooting skills are all practiced in the mountains. Actually, I am not bad either. I also have a lot of skills, but I just can't use them for a while..." I ignored Tofu. He didn't brag for a day, and was uncomfortable all over. Then he walked under the second coffin and shot him at the mirror.
I have used a hunting rifle before, so I have a good head in my hand. After two shots, I don’t drag on it, so I destroyed both sides. Just as I was about to hit the third side, Feng Guishou suddenly said: “If the bronze mirror is destroyed in our real ghost mirror, will the place where we are in disappear?”
I was stunned and thought to myself: If this is the case, what will happen to the four of us? We will disappear together? This idea is a bit unreliable. Deep down, I still can't believe that we will be pulled into the ancient mirror by ghosts without realizing it. This is not a ghost movie, so there will be such an incredible thing.
After saying that, I didn't wait for Feng Guishou to talk nonsense, and immediately fired a shot, smashing the third bronze mirror with a bang.
Almost the moment the bronze mirror shattered, the three old corpses above our heads suddenly stopped, maintained their struggling posture, and became motionless. All the sounds returned to peace, and the surroundings were terrible.
This atmosphere is very uncomfortable, but I know that doing nothing means waiting for death. In such a place, there is no way for someone to save us. Instead of doing this, it is better to give it a try. Thinking of this, I said, "The ghost mirror has been destroyed. Next, these three hard rice dumplings will be exhausted from their corpse energy. This little bullet cannot be done. Lao Feng, what other way do you have?"
Feng Guishou looked a little stunned. He came back to his senses after hearing this. His expression changed. He smiled bitterly, then shook his head, and finally raised his thumb and said, "Brother Chen, you are so brave and courageous. I am convinced. It's so far, thinking too much is useless. If Lu Su was here, he could use a steel knife to directly take their corpse heads. We don't have cold weapons to jump so high, so it's better to attack with fire."
Feng Guishou and Gu Wenmin are both more careful, while Tofu is a tangled type. He should make a decision. He probably has to wait until the year of the Monkey and Horse. My destruction is like breaking the way out, and he can only work hard to the end. Everyone immediately decided to use fire attack. Fortunately, there was still some solid fuel in our backpack. After taking out the fuel, he poked the movable steel rod of the probe shovel. All the steel pipes stretched out, which were seven meters long. After igniting, it was like a torch.
I held the solid fuel on the steel pipe, and the fire was fired at a glance, and the body was covered with corpse oil. At one point, the three-tu ball was burned instantly.
The thick smoke mixed with stench spread in the tomb chamber in an instant, choking the four of us burst into tears, but they could not avoid it. Tofu covered his mouth and burst into tears, saying, "I understand, the real purpose of the people who built this place is to want us to be smoked to death. Oh my, it's too smelly. Beauty Gu, do you have perfume? Hurry up and spray it a little."
Gu Wenmin covered his mouth and nose, his dark eyes, and was also covered in smoke. He smiled bitterly when he heard this, and was about to speak, but suddenly, the body above his head was probably burned, and with flames, he suddenly smashed toward Gu Wenmin's head.
I was shocked and couldn't help but shout, "Be careful." I rushed over and almost avoided. Both of them fell to the ground, hugged them on the ground and beat them a few times.
