When Yu Sifeng and the other two moved on the other side, they were more cautious, they didn’t have the ability of heavenly eyes, they had to be careful that the guards could see them at any time.
Yu Sifeng walked for a while, suddenly looked around, turned and waved to Xuanji, “Come here, here.”
Xuanji and Ruo’Yu were puzzled, they both walked over, Ruo’Yu wondered, “That side is not the direction Brother Liu pointed, right?
Yu sifeng smiled gently, “Let’s turn aside for a while, its alright, we’ll turn back soon.”
Ruo’Yu did not understand what he was going to do, so he had to go with him. The three of them went around the house, but Yu Sifeng seemed to be very familiar with the terrain, so they didn’t get lost.
“Sifeng, you have been here before?” Xuanji couldn’t help but ask. She couldn’t imagine that Yu Sifeng would be a thief who sneaks into a rich man’s house at night, he was always a model of a good boy.
Yu Sifeng whispered, “I lived with Brother Liu in Qingyang for a while. He likes to come to the Zhou House garden to enjoy the night when he has nothing …… to do, and I often accompany him.”
It turned out that the person was dragged by that Liu Yihuan, this person really will cause trouble.
“Here/” Yu Sifeng stopped in front of the study and looked around to make sure there was no one. Then he gently drew out the sword and silently twisted the lock of the door. The two doors were pushed open with a creak, and the musty smell inside poured out.
“Wow … aren’t there people who come here?” Xuanji covered her nose and looked into the room with the moonlight, and saw that it was covered with dust and cobwebs, she doesn’t know how many years it has been since someone cleaned it. When the door was opened, there was a rustling inside, probably because the rats in the nest were scared and ran out one after another.
“Don’t look at it like this. This is the place where the treasures of the Zhou residence are kept.”
Yu Sifeng took Xuanji’s hand and pulled away the spider web with his sword. The three of them cautiously sneaked in and saw that all the furniture inside was covered with a layer of white cloth. Probably because its been here so long, it had already turned yellowish gray. There is a small door behind the window of the main room, the door is hung with dusty bead curtains, and the bead curtains are densely pasted with talisman paper, they do not know what is inside.
In the dead of night when suddenly they saw the talisman paper in the old abandoned study of an official’s house, which immediately gave me a mysterious and unpredictable feeling.
Obviously even Yu Sifeng was extremely cautious against the talisman, not daring to approach it, so he only brought the two of them closer and whispered, “Behind the curtain is the treasure.”
Xuanji saw that it was dark inside and could not see anything, so she had to say: “I …… can’t see anything inside. What is it?”
Yu Sifeng lit a match and the room was illuminated, and she saw that the space behind the curtain was very small, with a shelf one person high, covered with white cloth, on which countless talismans were also densely pasted.
What is that? Suddenly Xuanji felt her heart jump, as if a distant and familiar feeling hit her heart – what was that?
“I also heard from Brother Liu that this is a treasure left behind by the ancient gods in the human world, called the Eight Desolate Mirrors of Myriad Tribulations. It knows the history of everything in the world and the past lives of the living. It is a pity that these talismans are a bit strange and cannot be touched by ordinary people, otherwise, it would be nice to steal them.”
Yu Sifeng put out the fire and saw Xuanji staring at the mirror and smiled lightly, “You can only look at it like this. You can’t touch it with your hands, or you will be in big trouble.”
Xuanji only felt that although his voice was in her ears, it seemed to be far away and she couldn’t hear him clearly. All her attention was attracted by the thing that was covered under the white cloth.
Very familiar …… very familiar feeling …… seems to smell the smoke again, the sound of gold and iron and horses, something buried very deep, began to stir.
What is it? What is it?
Someone is gently calling her: come …… you come …… over ……
Bewildered by the magical voice, she slowly raised he hand and lifted the bead curtain.
“Xuanji you must not touch!” Yu Sifeng yelled in a hurry and then his voice suddenly broke off – as soon as the talisman paper was touched by her, it was as if it had been burned, gently breaking apart and turning into ashes.
She opened the bead curtain, walked in like a charm, raised her hand and slowly took off the white cloth. The bronze mirror in the center was only as big as two plates put together, and the reflection inside was so faint that even a shadow could not be seen when a person was standing opposite it.
The voice softly, as if singing, close to her ear, murmuring to her: come and see …… come and see me ……
She raised her eyes and looked at the center of the bronze mirror. The waves of light and mist inside gradually dispersed revealing an extremely clear face of a woman, with red eyebrows and red lips, and her complexion was like an icy glaze. She lowered her head and said something, then suddenly raised her eyes to look straight over. Those eyes are like crushed ice, without a trace of warmth or affection.
Xuanji seemed to have been hit hard by something in her heart and countless voices and pictures flowed with a surge. She stood there, feeling helpless, looking at the familiar and unfamiliar memories, she couldn’t tell whether it was a dream or still reality.
“Remember that you have repeatedly made meritorious deeds, and now as long as you bow your head and confess your sins, you will not have to suffer through the reincarnation tribulations. Why are you so persistent?”
Someone asked her coldly.
“Perhaps she has been killing all the time and has lost her nature. …… But after all, she is a great meritorious servant who has just attained the upper realm. At this time, still don’t want to be executed.”
“You say it yourself! This kind of thing, do you still want to pretend to use other people’s mouth to say good things for you!”
She was awe-inspired in her heart, her eyes stared blankly at the woman in white, she was bound all over, but she didn’t move a bit, she didn’t even look like she was in trouble. She swept around her with her icy eyes, coldly, she opened her red lips and said in a low voice.
Xuanjo only felt the pain as a thousand arrows pierced her heart, as if there were countless small swords stabbing in her head, she could not help but let out a low moan from her throat and grabbed her head.
She said, “Everything I did was at your behest, and not even allowed to question it. Now, why do you ask me if I am right or wrong?”
The other voices in the mirror roared with rage, it was too presumptuous, such a treacherous subject like her should be sentenced to the death penalty and suffer another ten thousand reincarnations as a warning to others.
Do not understand, really do not understand. What she did, was it really wrong? What is right and what is wrong? The sky is vast, there are countless voices in the dark telling her that this is right and that is wrong. You can’t have your own voice, you can’t disobey, you can’t treat …… lightly, you can’t do this, you can’t do that, then, what is possible?
So there was only a cold laugh, “Death is death!”
When Yu Sifeng and Ruo’Yu saw her standing in front of the bronze mirror, dazed, they didn’t know what she saw, suddenly clutching her head and crying out in pain, and were about to rush in to help, when unexpectedly she leaned back – fainted!
Yu Sifeng didn’t care about the talisman paper anymore and stepped forward to hold her. He saw her eyes closed and her eyebrows locked in pain.
“Xuanji?!” He yelled and patted her face twice but she didn’t react at all, leaning heavily in his arms as if asleep. Ruo’Yu also rushed to see her situation, checked her pulse and fumbled for a long time and then said, “She passed out. It seemed she was stimulated by something.”
He looked up at the antique brass mirror and wondered, “What did she see in there?”
After that the two of them stood up and were about to look inside when they felt the small dragon horn hanging on their chests rustling and vibrating, emitting a low sound like a dragon’s cry. Both of them were shocked and looked at each other, understanding that something had happened to Liu Yihuan.
