Chapter 114: The World in a Mirror

Between the moments of unconsciousness, it seemed as if someone was whispering in Jiang Luo's ear, "Do you know the line between good and evil?"

What, what ......

As if aware of his disbelief, the voice paused and became softer, "Do you want to kill Sin?"

Kill, sin?

Jiang Luo's mind seemed to have slowed down a million times, a hand brushed his forehead, gentle but as cold as ice.

"Even if an evil spirit retains his humanity, his innate filthy evil will only produce a multitude of sins and more blood."

"Only when he's dead, will it all die down."

The voice was distant and indistinct, "Just kill the evil spirits, and you'll get out."

You can get out by killing evil spirits?

Did they really enter the world of mirrors?

Jiang Luo snorts heavily.

Who's the speaker?

Who are you?

Is the evil ghost ...... referring to Chi You?

"Wake up," the hand swept past Jiang Luo's eyes, "and see what sin looked like when it was born."

*

Jiang Luo was woken up by the noise.

He opened his eyes with great difficulty, his eyelids heavy as if they were leaded. Jiang Luo took a minute or two just to open his eyes.

During this period, the lively sound in the ear is getting louder and louder. The sound of beating gongs and drums is so festive that it sounds like the joyful music of a rural wedding ...... suona ...... and the conversations of old people and children.

"Jiang Pingcheng! How could you do this to a child!" The woman's cries rose, her scolding voice became much smaller in the middle of her sentence, and finally she trembled and pleaded weakly, "How could you marry Luolu to the Chi family?"

There was a lot of information in that statement, but Jiang Luo didn't have time to think about the content of the words, and was completely distracted by the woman's voice.

He'd heard that voice for over a decade, and it was the most familiar woman in his life, his real-life mother, Xiao Yan.

Jiang Luo's eyes snapped open.

In the dark and narrow space, the sedan chair with red light, Jiang Luo lowered his head, wearing the most normal red groom's suit.

Men's wedding clothes.

Outside the sedan chair, the man said with forced impatience, "He's a man, what do you mean by marrying? He is going to the Chi family to accompany the young master of the Chi family for a few years, and then come back to be his rich young master after a few years. Okay, the big day you don't make a fuss, a moment I give you a bag of ocean, you go to the street to buy a few clothes okay?"

The woman cried vaguely, overwhelmed, "No, you can't do this to a child ......"

The man shouted, "Then you marry in his place?!"

The woman sobbed repeatedly and stopped talking.

Jiang Luo bowed his head, his face unruffled.

Familiar parents' voices, familiar parents' personalities. He was beyond certain that the world he was in now was a false world in the mirror, but this false world, why was there a shadow of his real parents?

Jiang Luo clenched his fists.

Who exactly was the person who spoke to him while he was unconscious.

But no matter who ...... he is, he is not happy now. What's wrong with having to dig up these two people that he buried deep in his memory?

Jiang Luo sullen face, the sedan chair suddenly swayed and was lifted up.

He gathered those suppressed emotions and tried to open the curtain to look out the window. But to his surprise, the red curtain was nailed to the border.

Who gets married with nails in the window of the palanquin?

Jiang Luo felt that the matter was not simple, he simply stopped looking out and checked all over his body.

This body should still be his body, the familiar features hadn't changed. Jiang Luo rolled up the sleeve of his right hand, the Yin Yang Ring was no longer there. He sighed, but could accept that he should have entered the mirror world with his consciousness or spirit body.

About to lower his sleeve, Jiang Luo suddenly saw his left hand. He froze, the red mole on his left hand was gone.

Yes, if it's a soul, then his soul is what he was ......

He looks almost exactly the same as "Jiang Luo" in the book, except for the red mole on the back of his hand and his long hair, there are no similarities or differences.

Jiang Luo looked sideways, but behind himself he also saw a long black hair.

It was almost the same length as the black hair on his flesh.

Jiang Luo hooked his long hair in thought.

Is he the soul gradually moving closer to the body? Or is it that the soul and the body are gradually merging into one, and the body grows while the soul grows, and thus the soul's hair has changed from short to long.

There were shouts from the window.

"Hot noodle dumplings! Tofu soup! Sticky pancakes!"

"Newspapers! Three cents a copy!"

Jiang Luo listens quietly to the sound of hawking for a while, the mirror seems to be in the modern era.

He remembered what the woman had just said.

"Married to the Chi family"?

......

His eyelids fluttered, it couldn't be the Chi family from Chi You, could it?

The sedan chair curtains were suddenly pulled open, and an old woman brought in a cup of tea with a stern face, "Young Master Jiang, we'll be arriving at Chi family soon. Please take a sip of water to rinse your mouth, please."

Jiang Luo took the water and took a sip before spitting it out under the supervision of the old woman, who showed a hint of a smile as she took the water and lowered the curtain.

Jiang Luo, however, was a bit dizzy, rubbing his brow, as if his mind had been dulled.

After arriving at the Chi family, Jiang Luo was invited out to cross the fire pan, but was actually held up. He was not very lucid, and was led all the way through the process. These people were not at all surprised by the state he was in, and when the dust had settled, Jiang Luo was taken to the bridal chamber.

The bed was cold, Jiang Luo sat on the edge of the bed, his hand moved slowly and pinched his thigh hard.

"Aigoo Young Master Jiang, don't be like this!"

A granny exclaimed, Jiang Luo had fresh water poured into her mouth, "After drinking a cup of water you will be fine."

After drinking a glass of water, Jiang Luo was able to slowly come back to his senses from the dizziness. He rubbed his brow and raised his eyes to see that he was staying in a room with carved beams and plastered with red double happiness.

The mattress was red, the bed net was red, and the eye was full of big, piercing red.

There was also a granny and two maids standing in the room, the two maids had their heads lowered, the granny had a smile on her face and a jade Buddha around her neck, "Young Master Jiang, we're withdrawing, the young master will be here later, if you need anything, just call out to us."

The granny greeted the two maids and walked out, the last maid stepped on Jiang Luo's foot, Jiang Luo looked towards her, the maid was actually Lian Xue's appearance.

Lian Xue threw down a note and walked out quickly.

Jiang Luo immovably stepped on the note and waited for no one in the house before bending down and picking it up, the handwriting within the note was hurried, "We should have entered the world of mirrors, Lian Qiang two people are the boys here, others are not seen for the time being, you protect yourself well, and we will talk about it when we have the chance to meet."

Sure enough, Lian Xue and the others came in.

Presumably everyone caught in the mirror was pulled into the mirror world.

I just don't know if Chi You is in or not.

Jiang Luo frowned, his brain vaguely swollen and painful, the aftereffects of being drugged have not yet dissipated.

This Chi family is some kind of dragon's den, even at the doorstep, you still have to pour medicine in order to be able to worship and send to the bridal chamber with peace of mind?

Jiang Luo got up and looked around the room. The room was dimly lit, with only a few red candles flickering, and apart from some tables, chairs, benches and vases of antiques, there was really nothing to see.

He burned the note Lian Xue had given him and went back to sit by the bed. About half an hour later, there was a sudden greeting from outside the house.

"Young Master."

Jiang Luo stared intently outside. A figure walked past the paper window to the door, "You guys go down."

It's a man.

No, perhaps it wasn't quite accurate to say it was a man, it was the voice of a teenager turning into adulthood, and beyond the slight raspiness, there was a bit of familiarity that made Jiang Luo's goosebumps rise.

The granny said, "Yes."

The other figures retreated in a line, leaving only the long figure behind. The door creaked open, revealing the man's true appearance.

Sure enough, it's a teenager.

His face was not yet fully grown, but he was exquisitely handsome, with a high nose and full roots. His face was pale, and his lips were so white that they were bloodless, but he was smiling, and his eyes were dark, and he was already in the beginning of his elusive masquerade.

He looked only about sixteen years old, Jiang Luo looked at him as if he was looking at Chi You when he was a teenager, and for a moment, he froze slightly.

It's really Chi You. He got married to Chi You in the mirror world?

Grass.

Jiang Luo choked for a second, then recovered as he continued to survey Chi You brightly, trying to discern the soul within from his demeanor.

Jiang Luo and Lian Xue look the same, will Chi You become a teenager?

Or is this just a fake Chi You?

Chi You turned around and closed the door. Turning back to meet the gaze of the "bride", he smiled without a change of color and went forward to sit beside Jiang Luo, with a look of a good friend having a long talk, "Young Master Jiang, you must not know me yet. My name is Chi You, your husband in the days to come."

"Husband?" Jiang Luo couldn't hold back a snort of laughter, looking at Chi You's appearance, he thought of his annoying character when he grew up, and always wanted to squeeze him, "You're still a little kid, and you want to be a husband?"

Chi You smiled gently and tolerantly, "I am already your husband."

Jiang Luo raised his eyebrows, thinking, "I've already slept with an adult, but I still can't rule over a brat like you?" he grunted. He hummed and laughed, and suddenly put on Chi You's shoulder, "Then do you know how to be a husband?"

Chi You sidled her head, narrowed her eyes at his hand on her shoulder, and said in a slow voice, "I'd like to hear it."

Jiang Luo was about to say, suddenly remembered something and said tentatively, "Have you turned eighteen?"

Chi You laughed, "I've had a serious illness in the past few years, and I haven't been well off and on. I look young, but I actually turned eighteen at the beginning of the year."

Sick?

Jiang Luo's parents in this world are exactly the same as his parents in the real world, if that's the case, is Chi You's experience as a teenager exactly the same as the real Chi You?

Jiang Luo was interested in Chi You's secrets, he was curious about what kind of environment could raise such a vicious ghost like Chi You. He said that he must dig out Chi You's biggest secrets, such as the truth of his death at the age of thirty, such as the truth of Chi You's weakness, and then throw these secrets arrogantly in Chi You's face.

"What kind of illness did you have?" The look on Jiang Luo's face changed to one of concern, "Haven't you gotten better in a few years?"

Chi You sighed, "My body is not up to the task, which is why I'm bothering you to come and wash me down."
