Chapter 113: Rage

The moment the lights went out, Qin Yun shrieked out in shock and abruptly hugged Du Ge's arm, "What's going on!"

Du Ge looked out the window at the gray sky, frowned, and said quietly, "I think the storm ripped out the power lines."

Lian Xue soothed, "Everyone calm down, there's a fireplace in the house."

A faint circle of light from the fireplace illuminated the living room couch.

Butler Yan got up and said, "There are quite a few candles stored at home, please wait a moment, I'll go bring the candles."

The sudden situation did not affect the two men who were carrying out the order.

Jiang Luo stopped before his lips touched Chi You, and the ghostly perfume of the evil spirit reached the tip of his nose. Surprisingly, he even sprayed perfume ...... Jiang Luo s expression became odd.

He took a few quiet breaths and couldn't help but say, "You did that on purpose?"

The evil spirit said good-naturedly, "What?"

Perfume, bathrobe.

Heavy snow and chalet villas.

Too many coincidences added up, like a trap laid for him by an evil spirit.

But how did Chi You know that Jiang Luo was going up the mountain today?

Jiang Luo let out a "tsk", and he straightened up crisply, but the evil spirit grabbed his wrist and smiled deeply, "Speak clearly."

"I'm sorry, I'm just deliberately trying to whet your appetite," Jiang Luo shot back relentlessly, the two of them passing noiselessly in the darkness, "and you know it."

In the darkness, Lian Bing, who was sitting near his master's house, suddenly felt a few strong gusts of wind, and turning his head doubtfully to look, he said tentatively, "Brother, help?"

Jiang Luo instantly separated himself from Chi You, spitting, "What is the name of the person who saved your life?"

Lian Bing smiled apologetically and Du Ge said, "It's too dark at the dining table, let's go sit by the fire."

The crowd moved to sit by the fireplace and the butler quickly brought candles, the mirrors reflected the fire and candlelight and the house was finally a little brighter. A few young men were no longer in the mood to play games, they looked worriedly at the snowstorm outside the house, which was still not decreasing.

The wind and snow slant and the sound is ghostly.

Chi You picked up a cup of coffee and suddenly said, "Have you heard the story of the Snow Maiden?"

"Snow Maiden?"

The man smiled and began to tell the story, which seemed to be clouded with a mysterious and gaudy horror as the flames leapt.

"Legend has it that there is such a demon, and she is called the Snow Maiden. Every time she appears, she brings continuous blizzards, oh, just like now." Chi You lowered her voice.

The wind and snow howled outside the window as if to match his words.

"The Snow Maiden would travel in the snow to lure lost men and bring them back to her home, and when she kissed them, the men would be frozen in the ice and their souls became food for the Snow Maiden to sustain their lives."

He joked, "This snow came so suddenly, could there be a snow woman in this mountain?"

The crowd laughed out loud, "You're a joker."

Chi You's smile remained unchanged as she looked down and took a sip of her coffee.

Duanzi hesitantly asked, "Could there really be a snow woman in the world?"

"The Snow Maiden is a demon that exists in foreign legends, we don't really have a demon similar to the Snow Maiden on our homeland, but there is a fairy whose abilities are very similar to the Snow Maiden," Lian Xue was well versed in books, she thought for a moment and said, "The fairy is called the Snow Mountain Maiden, and is the God of the Mountain of the Guangde Shrine, Zhang The daughter of the Great Emperor. Every time she appears, she is accompanied by a great snowfall."

"Legends are legends, these are all false," Qin Yun frowned, "It's not uncommon for it to snow in December, not to mention December, there are still snow flurries in March and April, what weather hasn't there been in the last few years?"

Shadows of fire jumped across the faces of men and women, imprinting shadows of light, and a cold wind seemed to seep through the doorframe, cooling the air a bit.

Lian Xue coughed a few times, her face reddening slightly like a prelude to a cold, "Excuse me, I'd like to go back and rest first."

"Forget it, don't play," Du Ge voiced, "Everyone go back to your rooms and get some sleep."

Duanzi hesitantly said, "Then the twelve o'clock at night mirror ...... is also canceled."

"It should have been canceled a long time ago," Qin Yun stole a glance over at Chi You and lifted a hand to straighten her hair, "How can you play this kind of game in someone else's house?"

Chi You, "No need to cancel."

He looked to Jiang Luo with a darkly teasing smile, "If you're scared, you can run away from the battle too."

Jiang Luo locked eyes with him for a few seconds and shrugged, "Happy to oblige."

Lian Xue hesitantly looked at them, ordinary people don't believe in it, but they who study metaphysics are extremely jealous of these things, "Let's do it this way, at twelve o'clock at night, we will also come down to join them, there are more people to feel more at ease, what do you think?"

Duanzi nodded repeatedly, "Good."

Du Ge said, "So be it."

There was a good stock of candles in the villa, so each person took three and said goodbye to each other and went back to their rooms. There were only a limited number of rooms, so they were grouped in pairs. Lian Xue is a girl, Jiang Luo three people who are not convenient to sleep with her in a room, they three big boys simply crowded in a room.

Back in his room, Jiang Luo closed the door and asked Lian Qiang, "Does the master look familiar to you?"

Lian Qiang The two shook their heads in bewilderment, "We haven't seen him."

Jiang Luo mused, "Do the Lian family rarely go out?"

"Rarely," they both dutifully said, "will either of us go out of this mountain unless it is necessary."

No wonder.

Jiang Luo thought to himself, "No wonder Chi You dared to appear in his original form openly, not at all afraid that the three Lian Xue would see who he was.

There were two beds in the room, and the trio removed the center nightstand and combined the two beds into one queen-sized bed.

Lian Qiang and Lian Bing were used to doing things by themselves since they were young, and they made their beds without asking Jiang Luo to help them. After making the bed, they turned around and saw Jiang Luo standing in front of the mirror facing the bed, pondering.

Lian Qiang and Lian Bing came over and wondered, "Why are you still putting a mirror over the bed?"

Putting mirrors against the bed is a major feng shui taboo, in addition to this one, putting mirrors against the bedroom door, putting mirrors against the toilet door, or putting mirrors against the toilet are all taboos for placing mirrors.

Jiang Luo said, "Take a piece of cloth and cover the mirror."

Mirrors are Yin, will pool Yin, too many mirrors at home will lead to mental exhaustion, and even affect physical and mental health. Therefore, the placement of mirrors should be extremely cautious.

Jiang Luo said the villa's feng shui pattern is not a problem, referring specifically to the layout of the nine houses, but in the placement of mirrors, the entire villa, there is no mirror placed in the right position.

But he didn't.

Although he was cold in nature, he knew how to return the favor and had already written down the problematic areas when he stepped on the villa earlier. He had originally thought to wait for the owner to wake up and talk to the owner personally, but after seeing Chi You, oh wow, there was no need to say anything.

Jiang Luo turned around in the bedroom, almost making the two Lian Qiang take down all the mirrors, and then took out a picture of the Nine Heavens Ying Yuan Thunder Sound Puhua Tian Zun from his bag and stuck it on the door.

This is the boss of the Thunder Ministry in the sky, the leader of the gods and generals. He commands the thunder and draws the most evil spirits to avoid disasters.

The two Lian family siblings had many questions, "Senior brother, why are these two mirrors covered as well?"

"Two mirrors should not be placed opposite each other," Jiang Luo reminded, "When you go out and stay in a hotel, there are some hotels where you will place the TV set at the end of the bed, right in the middle of the bed. At special times, the TV is also a 'mirror', and it's best to cover it up when you sleep."

The two came to a realization, "Senior brother, we've remembered."

Time passed quickly, and late at night, the group walked out of the room with a candle.

The mirrors along the way reflected the candlelight in his hands, and Jiang Luo calmly walked past several mirrors with dancing flames to the first floor. After a few moments, all the people have come. Jiang Luo looked at Lian Xue's face, which seemed somewhat sickly, "How are you feeling?"

Lian Xue smiled and shook her head, "The housekeeper brought me a bowl of ginger soup before I went to bed, and I took another pill that I refined in my own house, so I'll be fine when I get up tomorrow."

"Sister," Lian Bing worried, "take care of your health."

Soon it was about to be twelve o'clock, Jiang Luo and Chi You, the two main characters, went into the restroom ahead of time, and the seven people led by Duanzi were about to follow them in, when Chi You looked down at his watch, there were still three minutes to go. He smiled and said to the people outside the door, "Excuse me, I have to use the restroom first."

Without waiting for the crowd to respond, he closed the door.

Lian Qiang froze, "Hey, my senior is still in there."

The candles were placed on either side of the mirror, and Jiang Luo glanced at Chi You and leaned against the wall.

The walls were slightly cool, the cramped restroom, and the two tall men were enough to make the space even smaller. But with such a solitary atmosphere, it was inevitable that anyone would be reminded of the memories and feelings of that one time on the boat.

The pain of being possessed and the strange sensation that Jiang Luo was almost ashamed to talk about afterward crawled along the bones and muscles of his limbs, and the ants gnawed at him with pain and itchiness in a subtle manner.

Yet none of them mentioned that room.

Jiang Luo face unchanged, he lowered his head and lit a cigarette, after experiencing the bed, his hands and feet have a mature and seductive flavor. Jiang Luo felt an inch of eyes roaming over his body, like a king coveting his unconquered territory.

The overly aggressive, intertwined hints of aggression and licking were enough to get Jiang Luo's spirit going, "Aren't you going to get it on?"

He bit the cigarette to remind him, but the evil spirit approached towards him, forcing him between a wall and an icy body, "Even a chance encounter in a blizzard, student Jiang, you and I have a wonderful destiny."

Jiang Luo exhaled a mouthful of smoke towards him, his eyes picking up at the ends, seemingly smiling, "Mr. Ji, with such a coincidental fate, it's hard not to let me suspect that there's no handwriting in this that you've moved."

He held his cigarette, the tip sweeping around Chi You's throat, and if he wasn't careful, he'd make an ugly burn mark on the pale neck, "Tell me, what do you want this time."

Chi You raised an eyebrow and was about to say something when the candle flame in front of the mirror behind him suddenly twitched.

It's twelve o'clock.

There was a knock on the door from outside, "Good or not? It's time."

Jiang Luo snorted and pushed Chi You out of the way, allowing the others to walk in.

The bathroom was already small, and it was even more crowded when there were so many people standing around. People were squeezing each other, their arms couldn't even move a bit. Jiang Luo and the evil spirits crowded together, his back pressed against someone else's chest, the distance is too close to be ambiguous.

Jiang Luo tried his best to remain calm as he looked into the mirror, but the muscles throughout his body tensed uncontrollably. He heard a soft laugh from behind him, and a few strands of hair were tickled by someone.

Jiang Luo's veins popped out on his forehead and he was about to teach him a lesson, but the candlelight in the bathroom suddenly flickered violently.

It was the hour of the morning, the time of the heaviest Yin Qi. Jiang Luo looked into the mirror, which reflected the faces of all of them, and under the dim light, their faces were as white as the dead. In the dark background, the gray mirror is like a layer of treacherous fog. There was obviously no wind in the bathroom, but the candle flame struggled as if it was being blown by the wind, as if it was going to be annihilated in the next second.

"What's, what's wrong with this?" Li Xiao warily held Duanzi's arm.

"Get outta here," Jiang Luo, well versed in the credo of running if something isn't right, yelled at the person closest to the door, "Lian Qiang open the door!"

Lian Qiang was already opening the door, and he was sweating profusely as he shouted, "Senior brother, the door won't open!"

Lian Bing swooped in to help, but the door wouldn't budge.

Qin Yun shrieked and pointed at the mirror, "Aaaaahhh there's a ghost!"

Jiang Luo subconsciously looked towards the mirror, only to see a flash of red light on the mirror, the next moment a sharp pain hit him, his eyes closed, and before any resistance could be made, he fell into darkness.

The dark-haired youth stumbled backward, held up just in time by a pair of pale hands.

Inside the bathroom at this point, except for the evil spirits that were still standing, there were already people who had collapsed all over the place.

Chi You's face was uncertain as he picked Jiang Luo up, ignoring the others on the floor, and placed Jiang Luo on the living room couch.

"Out."

The lights suddenly brightened and Butler Yan appeared in the corner, respectfully saying, "Master."

Chi You looked down at Jiang Luo, the dark-haired young man senseless, as if he were a most exquisite doll.

His tone was cold, "What's going on."

Butler Yan ripped off the Buddha beads in his hand, his wrinkled face suddenly turned smooth and young, the pretty looking Buddha slightly bent over, "Amitabha Buddha. Master, these people have been hit by the formation and their souls have been pulled into the Mirror World."

"I know," Chi You, "I remember telling you to break the spell."

"But isn't master curious?" Ge Wuchen's eyes flickered slightly as he looked towards Jiang Luo and said with curiosity, "Someone has specially set up a house here and set up formations within it. And found all these people gathered together, what exactly is the person behind the scenes trying to do?"

"You and I took the place of the two roles in this drama, so that we could observe the direction of things without moving, and see what identity Jiang Luo Shi Zhu played in it ...... and whether that person behind the scenes was the one we had been looking for so hard for many years. "

Ge Wuchen said, "Master, that is why I think it would be a good idea to leave the mirror array as it is."

When he had finished, he bent deeply and straightened up. But the evil spirit still stood still, as if it were a ghastly stone statue.

Ge Wuchen's mind was in a state of sudden dismay.

As Chi You's subordinates, they were familiar with Chi You's personality. When Chi You was smiling, it did not mean that he was in a happy mood. On the contrary, the deeper his smile and the higher the corners of his lips were raised, the more displeased he was.

But when Chi You is completely expressionless, it's a lot more scary than when he's not smiling.

This means that his hostility has reached the point where he wants to kill someone.

Ge Wuchen abruptly clenched his Buddha beads and instantly recognized his mistake, "Master ......"

But before he could finish his sentence, the black mist behind Chi You suddenly reached out and wrapped itself around Ge Wuchen, who was pulled up into the air by the black mist by the neck, and his head hit the ceiling.

Another black mist congealed into the shape of a hand and passed through Ge Wuchen's chest through flesh and blood, the pain of the black mist invading flesh and blood was so intense that Ge Wuchen's eyes instantly widened and veins showed on his supple neck.

The black palm came to Ge Wuchen's heart and held it in a false grip.

The heart beat faster and faster because of the threat it felt. The veins erupted and contracted heavily over and over again.

"Ge Wuchen," his master said, "if it happens again, I will crush your heart."

Ge Wuchen's eyes were bloodshot and his teeth chattered as he said, "I, know ...... was wrong, Master ......"

The black mist disperses and Ge Wuchen falls to the ground.

Chi You looked sideways at him, his deep eyes hiding ten thousand feet of cold ice, "Don't test my attitude towards Jiang Luo anymore."

Ge Wuchen braced himself on his knees, "Yes, Master, I will not make that mistake again."

Chi You looked back at Jiang Luo.

A moment later, the aura around him vaguely began to become irritated, the black pressure thick, "Go figure out a way to get me into the mirror world as well."

"Master, it will not be easy, the Mirror World cannot withstand your power," Ge Wuchen coughed out a mouthful of blood and said humbly, "Please give me two days."
