Chapter 301 High Mountains and Flowing Waters

After Luo Wenwen and Chan'er left, Yu Sheng finally got distracted and looked for a mirror.

Of course, from Aunt Qing's point of view, she spent the rest of her life looking for a mirror just to play with the newly acquired cicada leaves, as you can see from Wu Zhu's recent fright.

In the rest of my life, I often used cicada leaves to hide behind Wu Zhu, or listen to their conversations, or kick people inadvertently.

This made Wu Zhu, who was looking for a mirror behind the shrine, panicked.

If it's haunted, that's fine. They are experts in catching ghosts, but ghosts can't see the things that play tricks on people, which makes people scared.

Gradually there were rumors that Wuxi killed slaves and created water ghosts, and was punished by God.

But for the rest of my life, I never heard the great witch say anything bad about him, because Wu Shan was only looking for a mirror now.

He urgently needs this mirror to survive.

Although Shopkeeper Liu of Xunweizhai did not confess, everyone knew that the Witch Academy was involved in this matter.

When the corpse was carried out of Xunweizhai and sent to Jinyiwei, people on the street were crowded with people, and then there was a lot of rumors about the creation of water ghosts in the witch monastery.

Some Taoist priests even adapted it into a rat play, which became very popular in inns and wine shops.

Having learned from the experience of the Gusu City witch Zhu who killed the little old man's grandson, Wu Xi understood that when forced, the witch court would make him the scapegoat to quell the public's anger.

The mirror is now his only talisman.

What Yu Sheng didn't know was that there were many rumors about Xunweizhai now, and they were related to him.

Not to mention the magnificence of Xunweizhai and Shopkeeper Liu's wealth, I heard that it was the city lord's mansion that spread the news, these things will be with me for the rest of my life.

Unknowingly, Yu Sheng walked towards the inn after teasing Wu Zhu again, and met the cheerful Baozi on the way.

"Brother, brother, look, I found a mirror again." Baozi held up a broken, rusty mirror for Yu Sheng to look at.

This mirror is a mirror rather than a piece of rotten copper. The surface of the mirror has been corroded so much that nothing can be seen. I can only barely tell that it is a mirror from its style.

"This is too broken." Yu Sheng took it and put it in his arms, "Okay, you can go ahead and dig it. Don't go near the lake."

Baozi was unhappy, "Don't hide my mirror."

"Go on, can I still ask for your mirror?" Yu Sheng pushed him away and walked towards the inn.

Baozi was not willing to let go. This broken mirror could still be sold for two or three cents at the witch courtyard.

"You bully the young with your elders, you don't respect the old and love the young." Baozi kept pestering him all the way.

Aunt Qing, who was mending clothes in the attic, heard it.

"How can I still treat you badly?" Yu Sheng pushed him away, "You don't even believe in your brother?"

Yu Sheng didn't believe that this mirror was some kind of magical mirror. I just went out looking for a mirror for a long time and it was difficult to communicate without bringing something with me, so I snatched it.

"Believe it or not, you are a ghost," Baozi stopped Yu Sheng, "If you don't give it to me, I will hide your private money from you..."

"Shh", Yu Sheng covered Baozi's mouth, looked up at the attic above, and saw Feng'er sticking her head out of the window. She was very interested in this topic.

"You really have to trust me." Yu Sheng looked at Feng'er and said to Baozi, "You know my secret, are you still worried that I will default on my debt?"

Baozi agreed when he heard it. If he turned the whistle, he would lose more than two or three cents for the rest of his life.

Finally getting rid of Baozi, Yu Sheng covered himself with leaves as he went upstairs and tiptoed towards the attic.

Aunt Qing was doing needlework, and she had an unformed brocade dress in her hand. The one she made last time didn't fit, so she decided to make another one.

Yu Sheng walked over quietly and was about to pat Aunt Qing on the shoulder when Aunt Qing kicked the stool at her feet and the stool moved sideways and hit Yu Sheng on the knee.

Caught off guard, Yu Sheng fell forward, his hands leaving his eyes, and his body exposed.

Aunt Qing stopped him with her hands, preventing Yu Sheng from hitting the table.

"Don't blind yourself to Mount Tai. You can still hear the sound after being invisible." Aunt Qing said without raising her head, "Haven't you had enough fun?"

Yu Sheng stood firm and said, "Who said I was playing? Don't accuse good people wrongly. I'm going to find a mirror."

He took out the broken mirror from his arms and said, "Look at this. Is it the legendary mirror?"

Aunt Qing glanced at it and said, "It's really..."

"Really?" Yu Sheng was shocked and opened his mouth wide enough to stuff an egg.

He snatched this thing casually, and Baozi probably didn't care about it.

"Yeah." Aunt Qing said, "It's just a nerve."

Yu Sheng closed his mouth and said, "Little aunt, you hurt my heart too much."

Without waiting for Aunt Qing to speak, Yu Sheng waved her hand magnanimously, "Forget it, I forgive you, who allowed Yu Sheng to support the boat in my belly."

Aunt Qing rolled her eyes at him, "I don't even think about it, whose magical mirror is so shabby?"

Yu Sheng put down the broken mirror and said, "Then what kind of mirror do you think is the magic mirror?"

"A mirror that will respond when you call it. If you ask it who is the most beautiful person in the world, if it answers the King of the East Wilderness, then that's it." Aunt Qing said.

"Uh", the image of the princess asking the mirror "Magic mirror, magic mirror, who is the most beautiful woman in the world" emerged in Yu Sheng's thoughts.

"This King of the East Wasteland is quite narcissistic." Yu Sheng complained.

Aunt Qing put down the sewing work in her hand, "Not only that, the mirror also has another mystery."

According to Aunt Qing, if a beam of sunlight hits the mirror and is reflected and projected onto the wall, a line of words will miraculously appear in the light spot on the wall:

The sun rises in the eastern wasteland, and I am the most beautiful.

Hearing this, Yu Sheng held his chin between his fingers and said, "The King of the East Wasteland is so narcissistic. There is only one truth. She is very ugly."

After saying that, he would never forget to nod his head for the rest of his life to show that what he said was absolutely true.

"It's you who said this, but I didn't say anything." Aunt Qing hurriedly cleared the relationship so as not to become a troubled fish in the future.

"What I said is what I said." Yu Sheng leaned out from the attic. Seeing that Baozi hadn't gone far, he called him to come back and throw down the mirror.

Aunt Qing continued her sewing work, "By the way, what do you like?"

As an aunt, I have to give her a thoughtful gift on my birthday.

"Little aunt." Yu Sheng said casually when talking to Baozi.

"Be serious." Aunt Qing kicked Yu Sheng, "What kind of gift do you like?"

"I like everything my aunt gives me," Yu Sheng said.

"A slap?" Aunt Qing said, the words were ambiguous and the most difficult thing to say.

"That money?" Yu Sheng quickly changed his mind and looked at Aunt Qing carefully.

"Forget it, you like what I gave you anyway." Aunt Qing ignored Yu Sheng.

Yu Sheng looked as expected. He took out a page of the book and started practicing calligraphy in the attic.

Below the inn, Bai happily greeted the guests, while Ye Zigao was training his pig.

There was no loud singing during the singing, which made Li Zheng very anxious, so he went to look for Yu Sheng after lunch.

Because he didn't sing, the villagers were very uneasy when working, fearing that a monster would emerge from the forest and kill people.

There was nothing I could do for the rest of my life. When I was singing and drinking, I once said sadly: "We know each other all over the world, how many people can know each other?"

When Chan'er passed away, he lost his only confidant in this life, so he decided to shut up and stop singing for the rest of his life.

Yu Sheng originally thought this was a good thing, but now that Li Zheng was urging him, he could only find a way to get Xing Ge to speak again.

But no one in the inn, including the little white fox, wants to be Xing Ge's second confidant, so they have no choice but to go into battle personally for the rest of their lives.
