There are fish in the lake, and if you cast a net, you will definitely catch something.
But for some reason, the fishermen lowered their nets and fished them out when the fog thinned, but found nothing.
There is only one thing in the fishing net, a bronze mirror as smooth and bright as water, reflecting the rising sunlight after the fog has disappeared.
The mirror was not very big, so when the fishermen closed the net and went to retrieve it, they were hit by a fish leaping out of the water and fell into the water along the mesh and disappeared.
When fishing is important, fishermen don't take mirrors to heart.
They moved the boat and continued to lower the net, but when the net was pulled up, there was still only a mirror.
The fishermen were surprised, but before they could put it away, they were knocked down by the leaping fish.
The villagers immediately thought that the mirror was not a mortal object, so they stayed where they were and continued to lower the net. When the net was closed, there was still only the mirror.
This time, the villagers were smart and quickly closed the net without giving the mirror any chance of falling along the net.
After the mirror was fished out, villagers from ten boats gathered around to take a look. They saw that the mirror was made of polished copper, had a handle, and had a dragon pattern engraved on the back of the mirror.
A fellow villager looked in the mirror out of curiosity, only to see that the person in the mirror did not look like him, but a monster with only bones, internal organs, and white bones.
You can even see a bloody heart beating in the mirror.
How could the people of the other world have seen this? They felt a little sick at the time, and then they fainted with dizziness.
Fortunately, the people next to him held him up so he didn't fall into the water.
Others were surprised. A few brave people picked up the mirror out of curiosity and took a look at it. Then they either fainted or vomited into a mess.
When the others saw this, they hurriedly threw the mirror into the lake, no longer daring to fish, and used all their strength to row the boat to the shore quickly.
After landing for a long time, those who looked in the mirror woke up, and they all agreed that the mirror was a monster.
Because they farmed and fished for a long time and were invaded by strange animals, the villagers all had some hidden diseases, wounds or permanent wounds on their bodies.
But when they woke up the next day, the villagers who had looked in the mirror found that they had been cured of these diseases.
There were even villagers from Pojiao and those whose faces were disfigured by wolves, and their legs, feet, flesh and blood grew overnight, and their original appearance was restored without looking any strange.
The villagers were in an uproar. They rowed again and went to the place where the mirror was thrown to cast a net. When they collected the net, they caught a lot of fish, but there was no mirror.
For more than ten years, the villagers never forgot about the mirror, but never fished it out again.
Those who have looked in the mirror and have never experienced accidents have lived to be over a hundred years old.
The magical legend about this mirror slowly spread in the wilderness, but few people know the origin of this mirror.
It is said that when the magic of the mirror was spread to Kunlun Qiu, Bai Ze, the spirit of the East China Sea who knows all things and knows the appearance of all things in the world, came to visit.
At the peach forest banquet next to the Tianzhu, the city lord Queen Mother Xi took the opportunity to ask about the origin of the mirror.
The mythical beast Bai Ze's answer was ambiguous: "This mirror is a divine object that can illuminate the hearts and minds of all living beings and cure all diseases of all living beings."
The Queen Mother of the West smiled and asked: "How does it compare to the art of raising dead human flesh and bones from Kunlun Mountain?"
Bai Ze said: "Resurrection of dead human flesh and white bones depends entirely on the fact that the soul remains and only a few bones and flesh remain, and it can only heal ordinary flesh and blood."
"But if this mirror is used properly, even if the body has been turned into dust and only a wisp of soul is left, the flesh and bones can grow and the soul can be replenished by shining a light on it."
"In the hands of its owner, people who have entered reincarnation can be recalled without even needing their souls," Bai Ze said.
Queen Mother Xi was surprised, "Who owns this mirror?"
Bai Ze said: "This mirror only exists in the Jianghu. It is held by immortals and cannot be seen by ordinary people. Bai Ze lives in the East China Sea, so I can't tell you the name of its owner."
The Queen Mother of the West said with a smile: "There are not many people on the East China Sea who can make you jealous. If you don't tell me, I know it, but I won't tell you either."
As the Queen Mother of the West and Bai Ze looked at each other and smiled, the storytelling came to an end accompanied by Zhuyin.
Yu Sheng leaned in front of the counter and asked Aunt Qing curiously, "Although the Queen Mother of the West has a human face, Bai Ze is really a beast. How do you think they look at each other and smile?"
Aunt Qing drank linmu wine and mixed tofu with spring onions, and said happily: "How do I know? Maybe you can try it with Gouzi and see if you can look at each other and smile."
"Are you saying that the dog is regarded as the mythical beast Bai Ze?" Yu Sheng said.
Aunt Qing put down her wine glass, "Comparing the dog to Baize? You dare to say that you are not afraid that Baize will come to trouble you."
Yu Sheng was surprised, "Does it have ears for the wind?"
Aunt Qing shook her head, "That's not true, but Bai Ze has the magical power to understand the world. If it wants to know whether you have arranged it, it can find out with a little attention."
"Don't be ridiculous, I'm just a little innkeeper. What does he pay attention to when I'm full?" Yu Sheng said with a smile.
"Maybe it's because I'm hungry." Aunt Qing took another sip of wine and suddenly asked, "By the way, where are all the... relics my sister left behind?"
"I was sent into the water by the old man, saying that I can be useful in the water." I listened to the blind man's story for the rest of my life and answered casually.
"Shopkeeper, I'll give you a big beauty." Ye Zigao walked in holding a big snail.
Yu Sheng glanced at it and said, "Why did you give it to me? After I told you the story of the snail girl yesterday, weren't you very interested?"
"I've been watching overtly and covertly for a long time, just waiting for her to come out." Ye Zigao put the snail on the table, "If you dare to wait for a long time, it will be an empty shell."
Yu Sheng was stunned. When he picked it up yesterday, he really didn't notice it because the shell was big and heavy.
But as a shopkeeper, how could Yu Sheng admit his mistakes. He pretended to be surprised, "No, it was obviously not empty when I brought it back yesterday."
"It was very heavy when I carried it back. It wouldn't have been so heavy if it had been empty," Yu Sheng said.
"It's very heavy now, like an iron lump." Ye Zigao said.
"It's really not empty." Yu Sheng continued at his feet and pointed at the little white fox, "If you don't believe me, ask Little Li."
The little white fox of Traitor No. 2 nodded under the threatening eyes of Yu Sheng, hoping to make up for it, and at the same time looked at Traitor No. 1 with pity.
Yu Sheng said again: "If you still don't believe me, then ask me how difficult it is to become rich."
Fu Nan was listening to a book when he was called by Yu Sheng to turn around. He carefully glanced at Aunt Qing behind the counter, and his intuition told him that this person was very familiar, but he did not dare to recognize her.
Aunt Qing glanced at Fu Nan, then lowered her head and drank comfortably.
She looked like this when she came and went from the inn twenty years ago. No one recognized her then, and no one would recognize her now.
But she didn't expect that she would meet a Jin Yiwei who handled the case based on his feelings.
Fu Heng heard Yu Sheng ask: "The snails I soaked in the water yesterday were not empty, were they?"
For the rest of his life, he was served with small snails. At that time, Fu Nan even asked how to eat them, but of course they were not empty.
Seeing Fu Nan nodded, Yu Sheng said to Ye Zi: "Look, it's definitely not empty. Did you not pay attention and let the snail girl run away quietly?"
Ye Zigao just came to investigate and blackmail the shopkeeper, but now he said suspiciously: "No way, is there really a snail girl?"
