Chapter 153 Weird Bronze Mirror
"Anyway, we are in the mortal world and have discovered the evil cultivators' conspiracy. It's a good opportunity to collect evidence. Maybe we can make some new discoveries."

Yu Qingcheng is very confident now. There is a Jindan Zhenren in their team, and Senior Brother Liu can break through at any time. She and Xia You are in the middle stage of foundation building, and maybe they can be promoted to the late stage after this experience. Naturally, she will not miss this opportunity.

Liu Haotian also agreed. He felt that the opportunity for him to advance to the Golden Core stage was in the mortal world, so he echoed:

"Junior Sister Yu is right. It would be fine if we hadn't noticed it, but since we've already discovered it, it's best to investigate thoroughly."

The four of them had a plan and were not in a hurry to return to the world of cultivation. Yun Xi took out the carriage that the Luoziling bandits had prepared earlier. They sat in the carriage and swayed towards their destination.

At this time, the evil cultivators lurking in the mortal world all kept their tails between their legs. They sensed the powerful spiritual consciousness from before, and they were all terrified. They were worried that it was a great god-transforming master in the cultivation world who suddenly decided to come to the mortal world for inspection, so they hid as deep as they could, for fear of being discovered.

So although Yun Xi and his companions were moving forward with a relaxed exterior but a tight interior, they did not encounter any place like the corpse-raising ground, and they did not even see the shadow of any evil cultivator.

Seven days later, they arrived at a place called Chuntao City, which looked quite prosperous. The four of them used a trick to conceal their appearance and entered the city.

Mortal cities are always full of the atmosphere of fireworks. Hearing people around them talking about the lantern festival in the next three days, the four of them decided to join in the fun.

"I wonder what this mortal's lamp will look like."

Xia You was quite curious.

"Just look at it and you'll find out."

The four of them casually walked into a small shop with a sign that said "Longmen Inn" and were warmly welcomed by the proprietress.

"Are you four staying at the hotel or just stopping by for a quick meal?"

"I'm staying at the hotel. I want to stay and watch the lantern festival."

When the proprietress heard this, she immediately smiled and said:

"The four of you should stay. Our Chuntao City Lantern Festival is the most lively. How many rooms do you want?"

"Two rooms."

"Okay, two upper rooms."

The proprietress took the money and asked the waiter to take the four people upstairs.

When Yun Xi and the other three saw the waiter leading the way, they exchanged glances with each other.

After the waiter led them into the room, Yu Qingcheng threw a few copper coins to the waiter and said:
"Hey man, we're new here and we want to ask you something."

The waiter took the copper coins with a smile and asked respectfully:

"What do you distinguished guests want to know?"

"Tell me about your lantern festival."

When the waiter heard that you were asking about the Lantern Festival, he immediately began to vividly describe the origins of the Lantern Festival in their Chuntao City.

When he had almost finished speaking, Yun Xi said:

"So is there anything interesting happening around here?"

"Something interesting?"

The waiter was a little confused and didn't react for a while.

"It's just something rather weird and bizarre."

As soon as Yun Xi finished speaking, the waiter's expression changed. He shook his head and said, "I have a family to support. I rarely leave Chuntao City, and I rarely leave the inn. I know very little about what's going on outside, so I'm afraid I can't help you, my dear guests."

Liu Haotian said slowly:

"You are a lone man, how can you support your family? You have no relatives at all."

When the waiter heard this, his face turned pale and he turned around to leave the room, but Xia You waved his sleeves and closed the door first.

The waiter's legs softened and he knelt down to beg for mercy:
"Please spare my life, Immortal! I don't have any wishes, and I will never return to Taoyuan Village in this lifetime. Please let me go!"

The four of them looked at each other and felt that the man's words contained a lot of information.

This time it was Liu Haotian's turn to lift the man up with his sleeves, and then he said in a calm tone:
"We are not the immortals you are talking about, nor are we qualified to be immortals. We are just people who practice Taoism. We see that your forehead is black and your face shows a dead look, so I asked a few more questions.

You'd better tell us everything you know, maybe you can still survive, otherwise no matter where you hide, you will only die."

When the waiter heard this, he collapsed on the ground and started talking about Taoyuan Village with tears and snot.

The waiter's name was Yin Yong. He was born in Taoyuan Village and was an ordinary farmer. His only advantage was that he could read and write. This was thanks to the blessing of his ancestors, because Taoyuan Village had its own private school built by the ancestors of the Yin family. Therefore, all the descendants of the Yin family could go to school without paying tuition for one year.

A year was enough for a teacher to see whether a child had a talent for studying, and Yin Yong was obviously not cut out for it, so after learning some common characters and simple arithmetic, he returned home to farm. The Yin family did not force him, since he was not the only son in the family anyway.

In the second year after returning home to farm, Yin Yong was fishing in the river when he found a bronze mirror hanging on the net. Although there were cracks on the mirror surface, the delicate pattern on the back could not be concealed, so he happily took the bronze mirror home.

Yin Yong's sister fell in love with the bronze mirror at first sight and asked for it from Yin Yong.

In the days that followed, Yin Yong discovered that his sister Yin Huaer looked in the mirror more and more often, even becoming a little obsessed. This struck him as very strange. One day, he heard his sister say while looking in the mirror:
"My Lord, I have fallen in love with Mr. Xin, a scholar in this town, and I want to marry him."

A moment later, my sister's surprised laughter was heard:
"Really? Really? Then I do."

After that, my sister carefully covered the mirror with a red cloth and went to sleep.

Yin Yong scratched his head, thinking that his sister was pouring out her little girl's thoughts to the bronze mirror, so he didn't pay any attention to it.

But three days later, Xin Xiucai from the town actually sent a matchmaker to propose marriage, wanting to marry Yin Huaer. Yin Yong was really shocked.

The Yin family was very happy. It was a blessing for their daughter to marry into a wealthy family. The whole family happily married Yin Huaer off. When she returned home three days later, Yin Huaer said that she was living a good life and took away the cracked bronze mirror in her room.

Half a month later, Yin's parents died in their sleep, which made the entire Yin family very sad.

Yin's parents were in good health and had rarely been ill. How could they have passed away so quietly? However, the family did not find any injuries on their bodies and could only hold a funeral for them.

On the day of the funeral, Yin Huaer also returned to Taoyuan Village and brought the bronze mirror home. She privately found Yin Yong and cried to him:
"Third brother, I killed my parents!"

"What? What do you mean?"

Yin Yong felt that the uneasiness in his heart was growing.

Yin Huaer said with tears on her face:

"I made a wish to this bronze mirror, to marry Mr. Xin, but the price was the lives of my parents!"

Yin Yong asked in disbelief:
"How could you trade your parents' lives for your chance to marry into a wealthy family? And how did this mirror do that?"

Yin Huaer cried and said:

"There's a fairy living in that mirror. He said he could fulfill any of my wishes, but I had to pay a price. I thought I only needed to worship the fairy in the mirror, but... he took my parents' lives."

Yin Yong was shocked and immediately snatched the bronze mirror and threw it back into the river overnight. He thought that this would put an end to the matter, but the conversation between the brother and sister was heard by Yin Yong's second brother. After Yin Yong threw the mirror away, he jumped into the river and fished it out.
