Chapter Fourteen: The Well Water Reflects the Mirror

  From that day on, for two weeks, I kept thinking about the feeling transmitted from my lips that night. After careful consideration, I could come up with three possible answers.

  A: After she covered my eyes, I don't know what unknown object she picked up from the ground and wiped on my mouth.

  She covered my eyes and then spat on her finger and wiped it on my mouth.

  She covered my eyes and kissed me after that.

  After my precise calculation, the probability of the first option is about 5% because there's nothing to pick up on the ground. The probability of the second one is 13%, but it doesn't make any sense at all, what was she thinking in that atmosphere?

  And the probability of the last option reached more than 85%, and she actually kissed me. Heaven is witness, except for my mother kissing me, she was the first person to kiss me. Don't laugh at me, I believe that 98% of people in this world gave their first kiss to their mothers.

  But after that night, Du Feiyu returned to her previous state and still ignored me. I didn't dare ask her what happened that night, but I could feel that the number of times she smiled at me every day was gradually increasing. Just because of this, I made up my mind to go to Harbin.

  I'm afraid it's too late for me to start studying diligently now, after all, with my current memory, trying to catch up on a year's worth of coursework is simply daydreaming. But as the saying goes, "cats have their own way, mice have their own way." I've decided to take a shortcut. After all, I'm the only known successor of the "Three Pure Ones" book, and I'm a Taoist scholar. With my current level of Taoist cultivation, I should be able to seek help from Ninth Uncle, right? Coincidentally, tomorrow is the 15th. I need to prepare well. I went to the supermarket and bought a pretty cool small mirror for makeup. The back was frosted and the front had a skull pattern - I liked it. Then I returned home, since my house is a bungalow, the old well in the courtyard can still be used, so I filled up a soda bottle with well water. Everything is ready, just waiting for the full moon tomorrow.

  Fifteen days old, round moon. I gazed up at the round moon in the sky and muttered a phrase from Tequlong to myself. It was almost 1 am, and the hour of the Ox was approaching; everyone in my household had fallen asleep. I quietly opened the door with the thermos bottle and small mirror, slipped out, and found a secluded spot in the alleyway.

  Here is the translation:

  It's all up to you now, Ninth Uncle. You must appear, you are my only hope now. After I folded the small mirror and wrote your name and birthdate on the back of the mirror, I concentrated all my spirit, and now I can feel the energy flowing around my body as long as I concentrate my spirit. This sounds mysterious, but it's true. In fact, there are many things about the human body that we don't know. I can teach you a trick here, you can try it out. First, spread your right palm open, then stare at your right palm with your eyes and imagine that all your spirit is concentrated on your right palm. Before long, you will find that your right hand starts to feel warm slowly. Some people say this is just psychological suggestion, but it's really amazing, friends who are interested can try it out.

  I think the spiritual energy is almost gathered, so I start to concentrate the "qi" around me on this mirror, and then pour water onto the mirror surface, and use my fingers to wipe the mirror surface, softly calling: "Wei Fengjiao, Wei Fengjiao, Wei Fengjiao."

  This must be a success, my happy life is counting on it. I muttered to myself, and indeed! As my fingers rubbed against the mirror, the scene reflected in the mirror slowly became blurry (nonsense). But there was no sign of Uncle Jiu's shadow. Dammit, this thing won't work? Or is my skill not up to par? Maybe I need some method or something.

  Just as I was slowly losing my patience, the mirror surface quietly changed, and some visible 'qi' rose from the mirror surface. My heart was overjoyed, it's probably done. So I softly said: "Master, Master, are you there?"

  The mirror surface was still blurry, but Ninth Uncle's voice came out.

  "Xiao Fei, have you been practicing diligently these days?"

  It's really you!! I heard the long-unheard voice of Ninth Uncle and was overjoyed, hastily saying: "Of course, Master, I miss you so much. How are you doing on your side? Why can't I see you?"

  And to make matters worse, there was even static on the line. This conversation quality reminded me of a certain domestic telecommunications company. Ninth Uncle's voice hummed and came through: "I'm doing fine here, and I've also found a ghost job, you don't have to worry, it must be that you haven't been practicing well lately, so you can't see me now. You didn't just look for me this time because you miss me, did something happen?"

  I really admire this old man, nothing can escape his attention. So I told him that I have an important exam coming up that will affect my life's fortune and asked if he had any magic spells to help me. The Ninth Uncle on the other side of the mirror immediately got angry and scolded me: "No guts! You don't even put in effort for your own affairs, yet you want to rely on magic spells? Let me tell you, magic spells are used to help others, not to cheat your way through! Absolutely not! Absolutely not!!"

  The old man got angry, but fortunately, the mountain people have a clever plan to deal with this situation, and I was also prepared. I immediately spoke tearfully to him: "Master, the disciple is unfilial, just pretend I didn't say anything. But if I don't pass this exam, I'll probably only be able to beg for food in the future. Since my rebirth, my primordial spirit has been damaged and I can no longer remember any characters. I also know that this request is extremely unreasonable, but my family has an 80-year-old elderly woman who will rely on me for support!"

  Haha, Ninth Uncle probably doesn't know that in this era, there's a TV show called "Lectures on the Hundred Schools of Thought". With this move of 'retreating to advance', the focus has shifted to memory loss after resurrection. I don't believe you, an old man from last century, won't fall for it.

  Not to mention that I used such a despicable trick on my own master, Jiǔ Shū and I are people from two different eras. This is just another way of enlightening him, just like many elderly people can't understand the thoughts of our generation. If they were still alive today, they would be almost 100 years old, so some things are impossible to explain to them. Rather than making it worse, it's better to communicate with him in a way he can understand.

  It's true, my ninth uncle fell silent. There is a way out, as long as he remains silent, it will be easy to handle. You see, this is a conversational technique. To explain the principle of "indirect explanation" I mentioned earlier, I've decided to use a different approach to explain why the other party's silence makes things easier. Let me put it this way: in today's online gaming 1v1 PK, both sides' health bars are depleted, but my side's silence skill cooldown is faster, so I can silence you first and leave you with no choice but to wait for death. So, as long as he remains silent, there will be opportunities. Of course, this explanation of mine belongs to the category of nonsense. After everyone finishes reading it, they'll just laugh it off.

  It's been about five minutes, and Ninth Uncle let out a sigh. He said to me, "Xiao Fei, I appreciate your filial piety, and this matter can't be blamed on you either. Your master knows that you also had no choice but to do it. Alright, your master will give you a talisman of external assistance, but just this once, don't make it a habit."

  It's done. Haha, I quickly thanked Ninth Uncle a thousand times over. Ninth Uncle taught me an external spell, what is known as an external spell is one that doesn't belong to the Xuanmen orthodox school of magic, this spell itself has no great power but its effect on certain things is quite large. For example, the 'Sixteen Mouths Awakening Spirit Transformation Spell' that Ninth Uncle taught me. As the name suggests, this spell doesn't require drawing a symbol head or tail, as long as someone with magical abilities recites the incantation and writes sixteen 'mouth' characters in a row on yellow paper it's done. Then holding this spell while reading books will transmit all written messages to this spell, when you need to use these pieces of information just hold this spell in your left hand.
