"Yes, it's the fairy treasure mentioned in the letter to you." The old man nodded.
"That ancient mirror has magical predictive power. Whenever I encounter a situation where I can't make a decision, I will ask it and it will give me advice."
"It was it that guided me to leave the wilderness, and guided me to grow my business step by step from scratch until I am now the richest man in Xihong City."
Having said this, the old man seemed to be in a good mood and had already put behind him all the unpleasantness in his previous memories.
And I was also very interested in him and couldn't help but ask: "How did you discover the power of this ancient mirror? You wouldn't ask directly, right?"
The reason why I ask such a question is that I really can't understand how an ordinary person, whose body can't even contain the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, uses this treasure.
"How else can I use it? Just ask directly!" the old man said with a smile.
"Think about it, I was just an ordinary person at that time. I was trapped in the wilderness for so long. It's a miracle that I didn't die."
"But I don't want to be trapped in this deserted and dangerous place for the rest of my life. I also want to get out."
"Moreover, staying alone for a long time will make you crazy. Even I didn't realize it. I don't know how many times I held the ancient mirror and muttered to myself, as if I regarded it as an old friend."
"Life in the wilderness was so difficult. Once I didn't eat for several days. So I asked Gu Jing, 'Mirror, mirror, tell me which way should I go to find food.'"
"Unexpectedly, a line of words appeared on the mirror, which scared me."
"After thinking about it, this is a treasure left by the immortal after all. Some differences are normal, so I am not so scared."
"So I followed Gu Jing's instructions. Not only did I turn danger into good luck, I cleverly avoided many dangerous places, and finally found something to eat."
"In the end, it guided me step by step to come to Xihong City and build a world here."
"The ancient mirror is so magical, didn't it give you a reminder about what happened last time?" I asked.
I always feel that there is something weird here. If the ancient mirror is as magical as he said, it is impossible not to know that he will encounter such a simple danger.
After all, although his adopted son's approach was ruthless, it was far from business war. Since Gu Jing could guide him step by step to become the richest man, it was naturally impossible for him to not see through his adopted son's conspiracy.
"No, I haven't asked it." The old man shook his head and said, "It won't give its opinion on many things if I don't take the initiative to talk to it."
"It's my fault too! I've had a smooth life over the past few years, but I've also become a little drifting. People tend to swell easily."
"Especially in recent years, as my business empire has become more stable, I am not willing to expand anymore. After all, I have achieved success and I plan to enjoy it for a few years after working hard all my life. Naturally, I rarely ask questions about ancient mirrors.
"
"Gradually, I began to confuse the past with the present. I felt that my ability to achieve such an achievement was entirely due to my own wisdom and wisdom. It was all my own achievement and had nothing to do with others."
"In my excitement, I completely forgot about the existence of the mirror."
"I began to become self-willed and felt that I was in control of everything. When it came to raising a son, I naturally didn't feel that there was anything wrong. Nothing could escape the palm of my hand."
"I don't need to tell you what happens next..." The old man said with a bit of regret on his face: "The ancient mirror is hanging on the wall of my bedroom. It is usually used as a full-length mirror to cover up."
"I wonder, little brother, can you find a way to get it? I haven't seen real immortal methods for too many years."
The old man said, a light flashing in his eyes inadvertently, as if he intended to use this to explore my true strength.
"What's so difficult about this!" I laughed loudly, and immediately started using the Qi Tracing method and quickly found the old man's bedroom.
Indeed, as he said, there was a very ordinary-looking mirror hanging on the wall of the bedroom. No matter how I observed it, I couldn't find anything unusual about it.
If it is really as powerful as the old man said, it can be regarded as a natural disaster, which is quite mysterious.
Then the method of controlling air was quietly activated, and the spiritual energy billowing from heaven and earth gathered under the ancient mirror, carrying it all the way.
When the ancient mirror finally turned into a stream of light and fell between me and the old man, he couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart and stood up all of a sudden.
"You are really an immortal!" he said, then picked up the ancient mirror and caressed it: "Old brother, I have finally found a good home for you."
"It's a shame that a few years ago I thought about taking you to the grave after death. I was wrong. That shouldn't be your destination!" The old man said to himself, just like a child who had done something wrong, he had already burst into tears.
During this process, I was also carefully exploring this ancient mirror. It was really ordinary.
At such a close distance, no matter how I look at it, or scan it with my spiritual mind, or explore it deeply with the method of tracing the breath, I can't find anything different on it.
"I'm sorry!" After a long time, the old man's mood finally returned to normal.
"How do you say this?" I asked in surprise.
"I also lied to you just now." He closed his eyes and said in one breath.
"Actually, the reason Gu Jing didn't warn me about the last disaster was because of my stubbornness in recent years."
"But the most critical and important thing is not this."
"I have let down the ancient mirror. I actually thought about taking it as a burial object after my death and burying it with me in the dark underground."
"Since then, it has ignored me and stopped giving me any instructions."
"My business started to go downhill from that time. Without the help of Gu Jing, I suddenly realized that I am really an ordinary person with no business talent at all."
"Fortunately, I was quite decisive and handled all the property in time, so I can be a rich man honestly."
"This is the truth of the whole incident!"
"I've actually been a loser my whole life. I have such a good destiny, but I don't have the right qualifications."
"Even these enviable wealth are not achieved by relying on one's own true abilities."
"I'm such a failure..."
The old man said sadly that at this moment all the successful halo of being the richest man faded away from him, and at this moment he became the most ordinary old man.
"So, after I came back this time, I also figured it out. At least I can no longer live up to this ancient mirror that has been with me all my life. I must find a good home for it."
At this time, the old man raised his head, looked at me blankly, and said: "From the first time I saw you, I checked my eyes and knew that I had met the right person..." (To be continued)
