Chapter 4: Na Fu Wu Gui (Middle) Thanks for clicking, recommending and collecting, friends.
It's been 18 days since I started uploading. I don't expect to make it into the top 20 of the new book chart, but please help me out, friends, and let the supernatural genre break into the top 50. That would be a pretty good achievement. Thanks for your support over these past few days - from yesterday's first day on, we've made it into the top ten of both the weekly and daily click-through charts. It's really not easy to do! Please give me your full support! Today is the second update, so please vote, comment, collect, and sponsor me with various packages, and also leave some reviews and comments with insightful thoughts.
But this is not my ability! I'm just a small person who sells graves and deceives people. Inexplicably entangled in one strange event after another, the hot-blooded impulse and passion deep within me are ignited in these strange events. It's like a young and tender recruit wanting to rush onto the battlefield, but without any weapons to kill the enemy, with only a heart full of passion, hiding in a corner amidst flying bullets, waiting for a gun to drop from the sky, rushing onto the battlefield in waves, dying is just dying, that kind of cannon fodder mentality.
I know this mindset is unbearable, but I just can't hold back my thoughts. So every time, I try to follow Ye Yi and push him to the front, while I enjoy the thrill in the back and still grasp my own safety. Therefore, when I was "ghosted" for the first time in that small district, I was so terrified and angry at Ye Yi's behavior. But I didn't think about what qualifications I had to demand others? He, Ye Yi, is not a police officer or a soldier, he doesn't have to do anything!
Then, time and again, Ye Yichong was always at the forefront of the adventure, even when I was hindering him. Yet, he never blamed me. After all, it's because I didn't understand anything! I didn't know what was going on! That's why I had no fear, no guilt. I just thought about this carelessly. Since I knew it wouldn't put my life in danger, but only make me leave the maze set up by these five ghosts, I was completely careless. I simply wandered around, looking for a weakness to exploit. Unfortunately, because I didn't understand anything, I could only gaze at the surrounding scenery that seemed like an illusion.
Subconsciously, I held the mottled copper mirror in my palm. The five people who were originally painted on the back should be the so-called "ghosts" of the lower response. Then, I squatted on the ground and carefully observed the condition of the mirror.
I made a bold guess.
If the mirror in my hand is the key to unlocking the Five Ghosts Array, then if we liken it to a large gate, the other side of the gate must also require a key to open it! Either opening or closing. In short, the key is crucial. Crucial things are bound to be useful. Such nonsense has become a theorem. What if I guess it's true? Why did the five little men disappear afterwards, and the originally bright copper mirror became mottled? Is it related to the little men themselves? As long as the little men come back, the mirror will naturally return to its original appearance, so is the array really broken?
If we continue analyzing like this, it's easy to deduce that I won't be able to solve the puzzle. Specifically taking out this thing related to the five ghosts, is this saying that this is the key? The key to solving it?
I suddenly lifted my head and looked around. Although the colors around me were still bright and extraordinary, with no visible flaws, it didn't mean there weren't any defects! Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a thing as breaking through, but in order to break through, one must understand the underlying principles. Otherwise, having precious objects without knowing their value is not what I want either. Am I supposed to use this like a fool's camera?
Stupid camera??????
I suddenly woke up! That's right, the so-called interdependence and mutual restraint must be reasonable. Since it was left to me, it means it can be used, and even as a 'treasure' to subdue the five ghosts.
I stood up and carefully examined the surface and back of this copper mirror, thinking about how to open this seemingly dead-loop object. I first put the copper mirror in front of my eyes, thinking that if it was like a fool's camera, could I 'see through' the mirror to see the true face and location of Wugui? I believe that as long as I can find the location of Wugui, all problems may not be solved easily, but at least I can face them head-on.
In theory, I thought it was clear, but in reality, I still can't defy the laws of physics. At least, I couldn't see through copper objects to the other side. This approach doesn't work.
I looked again from the reflection angle of the mirror. But around, except for the gorgeous colors, I still couldn't see anything else. I couldn't help but feel that I seemed to be confused. Was it that I was thinking incorrectly somewhere?
I closed my eyes and stopped looking at the scenery around me, sinking my thoughts down carefully to think about what was missing in this place or something else.
In the end, I locked in what I was thinking about during a casual conversation with Yui.
That time, Ye Yī told me that if a person's luck is bad, they can also see ghosts. It just needs to go through some tools. If you don't use tools and can see ghosts, there are only two kinds of people: one is Tianmu opened, the other is about to die. The yin death energy covers both eyes, so you can see ghosts.
However, there are some normal people who can see it, as long as they use certain props or specific postures.
Yeyian was saying that at the time and even made a few demonstration actions for me. One of them was about the method of seeing ghosts with mirrors.
A person holds a mirror in their hand, bends forward, and looks back between their legs. Then, with the help of the mirror's reflection, they look straight ahead at their body. This way, if there are any ghosts lurking around you, you will definitely see them.
I don't know if Ye Yide's method is effective or not, and I haven't tried it before. But under the current circumstances, I have no choice but to believe in its feasibility. So, I lowered my body and followed that method.
I don't know where this method comes from or what the principle is. Anyway, when I bowed my head and looked up from below, it was completely different from what I saw before. The surroundings in the mirror were no longer a mass of colorful light. Instead, it was replaced by a gray misty piece. My line of sight surrounded the surroundings, and as expected, in a certain direction, a small ghost with an angry expression sat cross-legged in mid-air, just when I saw him for that instant, the angry little ghost suddenly opened his eyes and glared at me angrily.
At that moment, I felt the sky was dark and the whole person fell into a violent mood. I wanted to vent, kill people, destroy, do all sorts of things I had thought about from childhood but never dared to do! A kind of emotion called courage, fearlessness, and recklessness filled my brain!
But I deeply feel that my rationality does not allow me to do so! This is a trap, and I must break through it! Everything must be suppressed, and the answer must be solved by rational analysis and judgment. I used motivation to suppress the anger that was about to erupt from my body, and those evil thoughts were suppressed to the limit by me. How ferocious my face is at this moment, I can see it clearly in the mirror.
Just as I suppressed the furious emotions inside me, the black angry little demon transformed into a black light and entered the mirror. (The little demons are divided into black anger, red joy, blue sorrow, green melancholy, and purple pleasure.) Along with it, the anger I had been suppressing disappeared without a trace.
