Chapter 121: Traveling to the Mirror World

Upon hearing this, Jiang Luo was a bit surprised, he looked Chi You up and down, and then suddenly his eyes lifted up and he seemed to be smiling.

"You wouldn't be ......."

The words were half-said, but deliberately swallowed in the mouth of the dark-haired youth, no further words, Chi You do not move to ask: "What?"

Jiang Luo smiled imploringly, he swept over Chi You with some teasing and playfulness, turned around and said, "I don't need to, after all I don't need to meet the elders."

Chi You's face was unchanged, "Good."

But Yu Guang was slightly disappointed when he glanced around Jiang Luo's neck.

It wasn't that he realized anything, nor did he understand anything. It was only instinct that drove him, making Chi You want to return the tingling and strange sensation, and imprinting a little redness on Jiang Luo's neck as well.

After all, it's not polite to come and go?

Jiang Luo was originally very slow in this kind of thing, or rather, he didn't care to respond to those who thought differently of him, so he never took other people's thoughts into consideration. However, after the experience of Chi You's desire for him outside the mirror, he has become very sensitive to Chi You's emotional changes.

What in heaven's name ......

Chi You, when she was a teenager, didn't think of him that way, did she?

The first time Jiang Luo was disbelievingly angry and disgusted, but now his mood has become oddly familiar.

On the contrary, the playfulness prevails, the vague satisfaction and the pleasure of stepping on the desires of the evil spirits take the lead. Unexpectedly, no matter what period of time Chi You, no matter the Chi You who was like a different person before life and after death, they all fall together in Jiang Luo's body.

The Chi family's mastermind is a powerful and inscrutable evil spirit, hypocritical and aloof, with a desire for domination and suspicion that often plays tricks on others. He has countless followers, but he has fallen twice to Jiang Luo.

It simply makes Jiang Luo's heart soar, and he even feels like he's manipulating an evil spirit.

When I first came to this world, Chi You wanted to kill him, but now?

Heh.

Jiang Luo smiled continuously, he Yu Guang glanced over Chi You behind him, narrowed his eyes and tsked.

He was now eager to find a chance to test his suspicions right away. If everything was true, Jiang Luo would have the capital to make fun of Chi You when he left the mirror world.

Think about it, and Jiang Luo is happy. He stayed in a rather happy mood all the way back to the Chi family.

Under an old tree inside the Chi family gate, two people are anxiously waiting for Jiang Luo to return.

Qin Yun walked around, her hands clenched tightly together, her bright red nail polish was snapped off in a large irregular shape. Qin Yun voice trembling, can not hide the fear in which to reveal, "Jiang Luo how not come back ah? What to do, it's about to get dark ......"

Waiting with her was Lian Xue, whose whitened lips were pursed, and whose occasional worried glances toward the door of the mansion were accompanied by a look of forced urgency.

Slightly more composed than Qin Yun, she put up a reassuring fight, "It's okay, they'll be back, probably soon."

Qin Yun's footsteps abruptly stopped, she looked at the willow tree on the side, the top of her head had sweat coming out, and her eyes could see the color of a spiritless trance when she looked closely, ''Lian Xue, Duan Zi even died! How could he die? Also died so miserable! Finished ...... The evil ghost must be staring at us, he knows that we are here to kill him, so he intends to strike first. After Duan Zi died it's our turn, Du Ge, Li Xiao, and I ...... You know Jiang Luo well, and we're different, Jiang Luo is so powerful, we're just ordinary people, if Jiang Luo doesn't care about us, one of us will definitely die again tonight! -- Lian Xue, I really don't want to die, I'm still so young ......"

She was incoherent and panicked.

Lian Xue smiled bitterly, "And who wants to die."

Qin Yun suddenly fell silent, she walked to Lian Xue's side and clutched his hand, her eyes filled with expectations, "Lian Xue, you are familiar with Jiang Luo, please ask him to protect us, okay? Tell him to kill the evil spirits and take us home, okay?"

Lian Xue frowned as she patted Lian Xue's hand, "Qin Yun, we can't put all our hopes on Senior Jiang Luo."

She tried her best to use a euphemistic tone, ''We are the victims, and Senior Brother is also a victim. There are a total of eight of us who have come into the Mirror World, so it can't be that the few of us are hiding every day and letting Elder Brother do the whole thing by himself. Even if he can do more, he can't be made to bear the burden of all of our lives."

When she finished speaking, she sighed slightly and couldn't help but say, "It would have been nice if Zhongqiu was there as well."

The Lian family was a family of witch doctors, and the art of witch medicine was the top priority, and when it was their generation's turn, the elders were afraid that they would be distracted, and even more so, they didn't teach them anything other than witch medicine. According to the words of the elders, as long as a doctor's medical skills are high enough, everyone will come to protect their lives. Lian Xue seldom went down the mountain, and when these things didn't happen originally, she felt that the elders had a point and didn't see any drawbacks. After all, the Lian family, from the eldest to the youngest, are all of a desireless nature, to put it nicely, they just take things as they come and don't care about gains and losses. But this time something happened, Lian Xue secretly feel wrong.

If they were in danger, they only had medical skills, which could heal and save lives, but could they really save their lives?

Lian Xue remembered Taoist Master Wei He. Isn't Taoist Master Wei He also a master of the Xuanxue method?

This contradicted the words of the elders. When she went out, she must ask Daoist Wei He this question.

They didn't have to wait long before there was a clamor at the front door. It was Jiang Luo and Chi You returning.

Lian Xue and Qin Yun were delighted, but as they were not in a position to go forward, they stayed put and waited for Jiang Luo to look over to give them a hint.

Qin Yun had just pulled a smile on her face when she saw the young master of the Chi family walking in with Jiang Luo. The smile on her face abruptly froze in place, and Qin Yun grabbed Lian Xue's hand, saying incredulously, "Lian Xue, is that the owner's family of the Chalet Villa?!"

Lian Xue looked to Chi You, she shook her head calmly, "No, that's Chi You, the young master of the Chi family."

Qin Yun looked at Chi You incredulously for a long time, "He, how come he looks so much like the owner of the cabin's family?"

Lian Xue was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to explain.

Qin Yun turned back perceptively, "You knew?"

Lian Xue is silent.

Qin Yun let go of Lian Xue's hand in a flash and looked back at Jiang Luo, the color of joy in her gaze had faded and was replaced by a vague suspicion, "You guys know that young master Chi family and master's family look alike, and you guys haven't told us yet. Could it be that ...... the people who let us into this weird place are actually you guys?!"

Lian Xue lisped, "How can that be!"

"Then why don't you guys talk about this matter!" Qin Yun backed up again and again, she broke down and questioned, "It is not likely that you guys also know that master family ...... I said how can it be so coincidental, we went up the mountain and met a storm and happened to be rescued, and you guys also met a storm and happened to be rescued. The host family is so handsome, more outstanding than the stars, how can it be so coincidental to meet such a person? He is the master of the house outside the mirror, in the mirror is also a young master, but also so much younger, it is clear that there is a secret hidden! What's more, Jiang Luo also has that hand of ghost and god tactics that ordinary people can never make out of ...... How can it be so coincidental that all of them are bumped into by us? It must be you, it's you and the owner of the wooden house have long been in collusion with each other, together to prepare this show, right!"

When people were in a situation of extreme fear, their paranoia would be far higher than the usual level. Lian Xue understands Qin Yun's fear, after all, they are isolated and helpless, just ordinary people who don't know anything. However, if Qin Yun was allowed to speculate like this, the consequences would only get worse.

She said, "Qin Yun, did you forget that it was Duan who suggested the twelve midnight mirror look."

Qin Yun abruptly froze as she thought about it, and indeed it was Duanzi who proposed the order. Those who accepted the order were Jiang Luo and the master's family.

It's the paragraph ......

She snapped back from the excitement she had just felt and choked, covering her face, "I'm sorry, Lian Xue ...... I was so scared, I'm sorry ......"

Lian Xue breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward to pat her on the back, "It's okay, we'll get together tonight and talk it out, Duan is dead, but we're not. We need to calm down to get out of here."

Qin Yun nodded silently.

When Lian Xue looked back at the gate, Jiang Luo and Chi You had already left.

It looks like we need to find another way to contact Jiang Luo.

*

Jiang Luo and Chi You went back to their room and ordered the maid to bring a dish of glutinous rice.

Sticky rice can drive away evil spirits and also cure corpse poison. The white glutinous rice grains were placed on a plate, Chi You took off his upper body clothing, "Please, Young Master Jiang."

Jiang Luo spread the glutinous rice flat on his hands and worried, "Young Master Chi, I don't know what to do."

Chi You told him in detail, and Jiang Luo nodded with a frown on his face. When Chi You sat down, although he looked hesitant, he put his palm over the wound on Chi You's neck as quickly as he could. The moment the glutinous rice touched the wound, there was a sound of burning flesh, white smoke rose from both sides of the palm, and Chi You's eyes were closed, as quiet as a statue.

If it weren't for the veins protruding from his neck, Jiang Luo would have thought he hadn't felt a thing.

"It's my first time doing this kind of thing, do you think it hurts?" Jiang Luo asked.

Chi You hooked a smile, "It's okay."

After a few moments, the white smoke gradually dispersed, and the fierce sound of burning flesh also slowly stopped. Jiang Luo let go of his hand, the glutinous rice grains that touched the wound in his palm had already turned black, and Chi You's wound was also successfully removed from the corpse poison.

Chi You slowly put on her clothes and said, "Although it's Young Master Jiang's first time doing this kind of thing, his technique is clean and sharp, so it's obvious that he has talent."

Jiang Luo said in polite terms, "I'm flattered."

Chi You smiled, "Then Young Master Jiang, I will go and meet the elders first."

After Chi You left, Jiang Luo took care of the glutinous rice grains, then asked the maid to take away the plates. When the maid took away the plates, she suddenly remembered something and said to Jiang Luo, "Young Master Jiang, the young master's clothes last night, do you know where he put them? I wanted to take it to the wash today, but I couldn't find it."

Clothes?

Jiang Luo thought for a moment, "Not in the house?"

The maid said, "Without the young masters' permission, we cannot enter the house. In the past, the clothes that the young master took off were placed in the bathing room, but today I didn't see any clothes left behind by the young master in the bathing room."

Jiang Luo said, "I'll look for it."

He searched around the house and finally found a barrel under the bed. When he opened it, the clothes Chi You wore yesterday were in it. Jiang Luo took the clothes out and looked at them, and found a lot of mud spots and a few drops of blood under the hem.

It rained all night last night, and Chi You was out and about, so it's normal to get muddy spots. But what about this blood?

Jiang Luo thoughtfully touched over the blood, and after a long time, he put the clothes back and told the maid, "I didn't find it either."

When the maid left, Jiang Luo slowly frowned.

What the hell was Chi You up to last night?

"Sifu ......"

"Brother Jiang Luo ......"

Jiang Luo was awakened from his thoughts by a weak voice, he looked up and saw a ball of paper rolled to his toes, Jiang Luo saw that no one was around, he bent down and picked up the note, there were only three words inside: "The old place."

A quarter of an hour later, the backyard wigwam cave.

When Jiang Luo came in, everyone had already arrived. Compared to yesterday, today's atmosphere was heavy. Duanzi's death is like a layer of shadow hanging over everyone, Li Xiao is buried, his fists clenched beside his legs, unable to see his expression. Lian Bing's eyes were red and swollen, apologizing to Li Xiao, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault, if I could have gone out with him last night, he wouldn't have died. ......"

Except for Lian Bing, no one else was in the mood to talk. After seeing Jiang Luo, Lian Qiang's eyes lit up and he hurriedly said, "Senior brother, you went out today without knowing, Duanzi he-"

"I already know," Jiang Luo said, "I suspect that Duanzi isn't really dead yet."

Everyone froze, staring at him in a daze. Li Xiao abruptly rushed to Jiang Luo's front, his red eyes filled with hope and fear, "Really?"

Lian Bing also raised his head from his self-reproach and guilt, he looked at Jiang Luo with the same burning hope and disbelief, and whispered, "But senior brother, I saw them carry Duanzi's body to the car and send it away."

Jiang Luo nodded with an unmistakable certainty, "The death of the mirror world does not mean the death of the physical body."

In fact, Jiang Luo is just guessing, not sure that Duanzi is really not dead.

But in this situation, if we don't say something, we're only going to make the situation worse.

Jiang Luo did not waver even though he knew he might have deceived the crowd. Because doing so was the best outcome for the moment.

The stagnant air loosened, Li Xiao whimpered and cried, Lian Xue handed Li Xiao a handkerchief and laughed, "That's great, Li Xiao, Duan Zi didn't die."

Lian Bing also took a big breath, the guilt was withdrawn and he felt able to think again, "So in that case, we're not afraid of death either?"

Jiang Luo shook his head, ''Even if the physical body will not die, the mental state is also impacted, we still have to do our best to ensure that we are not harmed ...... Regarding the evil spirits, I already have some eyebrows. When I was in Yi Zhuang, I saw not only Duanzi, but also another beggar who was killed. From the beggar's body, I saw the picture about the evil ghost."

A few people's spirits perked up, and Lian Xue asked, "Really, Elder Brother?"

Du Ge asked in a hushed voice, "What does an evil spirit look like?"

Jiang Luo described the appearance of the evil spirit in general.

"The black robe hides his face," Lian Qiang sighed, "so we can't tell who the evil spirit is."

Lian Bing also sighed and turned around to bring out what he had prepared. A small bowl of rooster blood and a stack of yellow talismans, "Elder brother, I'm sorry, rooster blood isn't easy to get, I could only find these."

Jiang Luo looked at the portion of rooster blood, "Enough to draw a few charms."

When someone draws a talisman, there are always a lot of procedures to be done. Jiang Luo was not that troublesome, he lifted up his concentration, used his hand instead of a brush, and dipped the chicken blood on the talisman in a single stroke. Almost without a break, Jiang Luo used up the chicken blood.

Except that there was very little chicken blood in the end, barely enough to allow one per person, and no more.

A few people solemnly put the talisman close to their bodies, and the heart that had been lifted for a day was finally put back. Jiang Luo saw that it was getting late and said, "I will go back first. After you go back, don't go out of your room, and if anyone calls for help outside the door, just sleep with your head covered and don't care about anything. This place is very evil, it is almost a big piece of cloudy land, anything evil can happen, be careful."

The others obliged, and Qin Yun said, somewhat fearfully, to Lian Xue and Li Xiao, "Let's sleep together tonight."

Lian Xue and Li Xiao both nodded.

Du Ge walked to the entrance of the cave, sniffed and turned back towards Qin Yun, "Qin Yun, come over here for a moment, I have something to say to you."

*

After Jiang Luo went back to his room, Chi You hadn't come back yet.

He waited patiently for a while, as the sky gradually darkened and the candle flames flickered, and I don't know how long it took before Chi You slowly walked through the door of the room.

His face was a little paler in the candlelight, but the corners of his lips were raised in a good mood.

The only pair of eyes, however, were as dark as an abyss, with an oppressive storm looming in them.

Jiang Luo asked tentatively, "You don't look comfortable."

Chi You smiled, "That's not true."

"Was your wound seen?" Jiang Luo pointed to Chi You's neck, "What did they say?"

"They cautioned me to do less of these things or it would be bad for my health," Chi You smiled deeper, "and thanks to them, it made a lot of things clear to me as well."

When he finished, he grunted and grabbed his clothes, inviting, "Join us for a shower?"

Jiang Luo said, "Go."

The two walked side by side towards the bathing room, Jiang Luo said, "Just now a maid came to look for the clothes you changed out of yesterday, I found them under your bed, but they were stained with blood."

"Oh, that," Chi You snapped, "That, ah, is the blood I accidentally touched during practice yesterday."

Jiang Luo: "Huh?"

"Rooster's blood and black dog's blood," Chi You said with a smile, "These are used in vermilion and will ward off evil spirits."

"So that's it," Jiang Luo nodded understandingly, "Then why don't you give it to the maid to wash?"

Chi You suddenly gave a strange laugh and said, "You really do look a bit like my wife now."

Jiang Luo: "?"

Chi You said slowly, "Everything must be broken."

"......" Jiang Luo secretly rolled his eyes.

The conversation ended and they also walked to the bathing room. The two entered the bath room left and right, Jiang Luo took the talisman he had written just today and put it on the door, ready to undress.

Next door, a wall away from him, Chi You was doing the same thing, folding his clothes until they were neatly placed on the table and chairs. A curling mist obscured his form as Chi You hummed a tune, and on his pale spine, ghostly lines abruptly released from the three moles and slowly crept upward.

It climbed all the way up to Chi You's shoulder, making even the young man's handsome face look like a ghostly horror.

Amidst the vapor, a ghostly figure of a hill mountain peak suddenly appeared, cowering in the corner of the wall and shivering, Chi You slowly said, "I told you to go next door to scare him, why did you come back again?"

The ghostly shadow was about to crouch down on the ground as it stuttered, "My lord, there are powerful and incomparable talismans on that door, door."

"Oh?" Chi You was slightly interested as he looked to Ghost Shadow, "How powerful is it?"

Ghost Shadow gulped, his body trembled even more violently, "If I go in hard, I, I may have my soul scattered ......"

"Then go ahead and go hard," Chi You quirked her lips in a smile, exuberant, "and let me see if it'll break your soul or not."

The ghostly figure trembled, "No, no, my lord, please spare me, please-"

Chi You slowly smoothed the last wrinkle on his clothes, the black fog on his body suddenly rose, surging like the head of a fierce beast approaching the ghost shadow, the black fog opened its bloody mouth, as long as a single mouth can devour the ghost shadow, "Then you say, is it scary to break through that door and die in your soul, or is it scary to be devoured by me?"

Chi You sidestepped his face, gloom looming over his brow, the corners of his lips picking up with a touch of deep oppression.

The ghostly shadow was silent for a moment and said feebly, "As you command, my lord."

After the ghost disappeared, Chi You looked at the wall separating the two bathrooms, he slowly raised his hand and lightly tapped his finger on the wall. Cracks appeared on the wall, and a fingertip-sized hole appeared on it.

"He's so strange," Chi You said to himself, "talismans, where did they come from? He really isn't an ordinary person."

Chi You murmured, "He also brought out emotions in me that I had never felt before, and if I hadn't made sure that my consciousness wasn't being compelled or manipulated by the other side, I would have thought that he had used some secret method to affect me."

"The Jiang family is ordinary, his parents are also ordinary, and before this, it's unheard of that the young master of the Jiang family would have such tactics," Chi You, "Let me see, who you really are."

The wall was easily penetrated by his fingers.

Chi You looked calmly through the hole in the eye and saw Jiang Luo clutching the hem of his shirt and looking in the direction of the bathroom door. Chi You followed his line of sight.

There was a talisman affixed to the wooden door, it was a suppression talisman, but the moment the ghostly shadow hit the door, the talisman faintly flashed with golden light and remained firmly affixed to the door.

Chi You was thoughtful as he raised his hand and the black mist wrapped in a cloud of black ash reached him.

It was the last thing the ghostly shadow had left behind, and it was indeed, as it said, soul-destroyed.

But even though its soul was gone, the talisman had not burned up and could still be used again.

Such a talisman, even a clan elder of the Chi family, I'm afraid, couldn't write it.

Chi You smiled and gently waved his hand, a row of shivering ghosts abruptly knelt behind him, "My lord."

"You've been following me for a long time, and now it's time for you to serve me," Chi You said, "Go on, crash through that door, and let me see how powerful that talisman really is."

"...... is."

A full five ghosts' souls were scattered before they crashed through the door. Chi You looked at the talisman that had finally burned up and waved his hand thoughtfully, causing the other ghostly shadows with ashen faces to retreat.

He looked to Jiang Luo, meaningfully.

Who the hell are you.

Jiang Luo put down his clothes and walked over to close the door, his middle finger gently drawing a talisman on the door. However, after putting down his brush and turning back, Jiang Luo felt a familiar prying sight.

Sticky, deep and goosebump-inducing.

Jiang Luo silently curled his mouth, abruptly took off his shirt, and his white spine was reflected in Chi You's eyes.

Chi You withdrew his eyes and glanced in the bathtub, but didn't hold back and looked up across the room again. By this time, Jiang Luo's hands were already on the waist of his pants.

*

Outside the mirror.

"There is a difference in the flow of time between the world in the mirror and the world outside the mirror," Ge Wuchen said respectfully, "Master, the world in the mirror is unable to carry your power. If you force your way in, the destruction of the world in the mirror will in turn trap the souls of Jiang Shi Zhu and the others."

The window in the bedroom suddenly burst open, and a stormy wind swept in with a cold invasion of snow.

Chi You sat on the sofa next to the bed, he leaned against the back of the sofa chair and looked at Ge Wuchen absently, after a while, he smiled with interest instead, "Is this what you've researched for two days?"

Ge Wuchen gritted his teeth in the midst of the overwhelming pressure and quickly finished the rest of his sentences, "But there are two more ways. First, you manipulate a person in the mirror world into a puppet. Second, you temporarily detach a few strands of your consciousness and briefly possess the body of the person in the Mirror World, and on the premise of not alerting the person behind the curtain, test how much of your consciousness the Mirror World is able to carry, and then make other plans."

Chi You looked sideways at Jiang Luo, who was breathing steadily on the bed, and after a moment's stasis, he muttered to himself, "It sounds like neither one of them is very satisfying to me."

"Why do I have to go into the world of mirrors," he said, "it's uninteresting, laborious, and not the least bit interesting."

But the man who uttered those words had not left the cottage in the least for the past two days.

Ge Wuchen tentatively justified him by saying, "You're just doing it because you want to know what the people behind the scenes are trying to do and be prepared to deal with it."

Chi You dawned on me, "Right."

His eyes moved away from Jiang Luo, the irritation he had suppressed for two days pouring out no longer concealed as he gave the order, "Now, immediately. Using the second method, have me possess the person closest to Jiang Luo."

"Yes," Ge Wuchen said carefully, "but master, you are going in for the first time, the second method is just to test the tolerance of the Mirror World to you, the speed of entering the Mirror World and coming out again will be very fast. In order to prevent this from shattering the Mirror World just in case, you had better dive into the Mirror World with the least amount of consciousness."

"I know, move faster," Chi You fingers tapped as he smiled high and trailed off, "I'm already pressing on."
