Chapter 239 Mirror Demon
Jiang Li thought of the mirror and said, "Brother Shen, Brother Mo Qi, and Lord Cui, your family is well-educated and knowledgeable. Have you ever heard of the 'Mirror Monster'?"
Xie Changan and Yin Jiu immediately looked at her. Yin Jiu's expression was horrified. Could it be that Xiao Shiliu thought that the King of Wei was transformed by the mirror monster?
"Mirror Monster?" Shen Muchun laughed, "Ghost Doctor Valley is not your Taoist sect, how would they know about mirror monsters?"
Mo Qilang scratched his head: "Isn't that a story about adults scaring children?"
"There is such a story?" Jiang Li was very interested. "Quick, tell me about it."
Cui Jue said, "I have read a book about strange folk stories, and it contains the story of the mirror monster."
He spoke eloquently.
"Legend has it that a scholar, while browsing in an antique shop, found an ancient bronze mirror on the bottom shelf."
"He took it out curiously and looked at it. Unexpectedly, a stunningly beautiful woman appeared in the bronze mirror, smiling at him. The scholar was immediately fascinated and wanted to buy the bronze mirror."
"But when the shopkeeper saw the bronze mirror in his hand, he was horrified and refused to sell it to him. In desperation, the scholar took out all the silver he had, threw it on the counter, and ran away holding the mirror."
"The shopkeeper sighed, there is no way to avoid the disaster!"
"The scholar was overjoyed when he got the mirror. He kept talking to the beauty in the mirror day and night. He lost his appetite and became thinner day by day. Not long after, he died. When he died, his body dried up and looked like a skeleton."
Mo Qilang also said: "That's right, I heard this story when I was a child. It is said that there is a demon hidden in the mirror, which can absorb people's essence, and the beautiful women are conjured by him to seduce people. Whoever is deceived by the mirror will become the demon's food and die after being drained of essence."
He asked in confusion: "Little Sixteen, the King of Wei is so handsome, do you think he is a mirror demon?"
Jiang Li said angrily: "According to what you said, Brother Changan and I were also transformed by the mirror monster?"
Mo Qilang chuckled and said, "Brother Jiu said that you are a transformed rat spirit."
Yin Jiu's head shrank suddenly.
Jiang Li was so angry that he forgot that this was the imperial study, and stood up just like he did in the East Factory that day: "Are you two itching for trouble?"
Xie Changan grabbed her and scolded her in a low voice: "Don't be rude in front of the emperor!"
Jiang Li finally came to his senses and apologized: "I forgot myself for a moment, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
Nangong Qinghe was feeling sad because of her words "Brother Chang'an", and then he saw that she was getting along with Mo Qilang and Yin Jiu like brothers, and even Liao Wuyong was looking at them with a smile on his face.
When she was in the East Factory, she must have been so free and unrestrained.
No wonder she refused to enter the palace again.
How can a bird that has seen the vastness of heaven and earth be willing to return to a golden cage?
He felt sad in his heart and smiled slightly: "It's okay, Jing'an Hou and his colleagues are as close as brothers, I am very pleased."
"Why does Marquis Jing'an think that the King of Wei is related to the mirror monster?"
He bent the crooked building back into place.
Jiang Li said: "I heard from the deceased palace maids and eunuchs that the King of Wei loved looking in the mirror, but he would break the mirror every time. The stewards in the palace had to purchase a large number of mirrors every month."
"So there is something fishy in the mirror!"
Liao Wuyong also said.
Everyone became curious. What did Nangong Yonghe see in the mirror?
Do mirror monsters really exist in this world?
Nangong Qinghe said: "Most of the palace maids and eunuchs in the Prince of Wei's palace are the Queen Mother's people. According to their reports, when the Prince of Wei is in the bedroom, he usually stays alone and does not allow anyone to come close to serve him."
That is to say, no one knows what he sees in the mirror.
"It's a pity that the King of Wei doesn't like women, otherwise he could have put a few of them in his palace."
Only those who serve him closely have the opportunity to find out his secrets.
At this time, Nangong Qinghe had the same idea as Empress Dowager Zhang.
His good royal brother was too weird. No matter whether he murdered the royal bloodline to prolong his life or was a mirror monster, this man must not be kept!
"No need to investigate further."
Nangong Qinghe said calmly, "Compared to the King of Wei, the Southern Yi Kingdom is more important. Marquis Jing'an, Mr. Xie, Mr. Shen, Mr. Mo, you should just do what you have planned."
"Yes, I obey your order."
Jiang Li, Xie Changan and the other three bowed and left the imperial study.
Nangong Qinghe left Liao Wuyong and Cui Jue behind.
Jiang Li understood that Nangong Qinghe had made up his mind to wipe out the King of Wei completely while he was in his fiefdom.
She was a little worried. If she let him leave Beijing, who knew if she would be letting a tiger return to the mountains?
Now that Nangong Qinghe doesn't let them interfere, they can only let the matter go for now.
It was already late at night when I returned to the mansion.
Jiang Li was too embarrassed to bother Uncle Zhou, so she quickly returned to the Marquis' Mansion and asked Aunt Lian to prepare some delicious food.
When Aunt Lian heard that they didn't eat enough at the palace banquet, she couldn't help but feel distressed: "Didn't they say that the imperial banquet had all kinds of delicacies from land and sea? How could they not eat enough?"
Jiang Li said: "It's so cold, it's already cold when it's delivered. No matter how delicious it is, I can't eat it!"
She didn't dare to say it, because the two of them were busy climbing over the wall of Prince Wei's palace and didn't eat much.
Aunt Lian thought so too, this palace banquet is really not for human consumption!
She hurriedly asked the kitchen to prepare a table full of hot soup and hot dishes. Jiang Li accidentally ate too much again.
Xie Changan then picked up a lantern and walked with her in the garden to help digest the food.
He couldn't help but mention the King of Wei again: "Do you think the King of Wei was transformed by the mirror monster?"
Jiang Li said: "If it is really a mirror demon, then it must be the so-called otherworldly soul that possessed King Wei."
She frowned slightly, "The mirror monster from the cultivation world is not so easy to deal with."
There are more and more people from other worlds. Besides her, there is Xiao Jin who possesses the Gu King, and the mirror monster who possesses Nangong Yonghe...
Jiang Li couldn't help but feel a headache. Could it be that they were all struck by the lightning?
How many people were implicated by that man who was undergoing the tribulation?
Xie Changan also frowned secretly. These monsters from other worlds, one by one, were all eyeing his little cat slave!
He must become strong as soon as possible. At the very least, he must not become a burden to the little cat slave!
"When are we going to take the medicinal bath?"
When they came back from southern Xinjiang, they had planned to take a medicinal bath as soon as possible and practice the second level of the Divine Movement Body Refining Technique.
I didn't expect that there were so many things to do. I had to deal with the backlog of official business, get married, recruit soldiers and train them. Now the King of Wei is adding to the chaos, and I really can't spare the time.
"Then let's do it tomorrow. Let's put everything else aside and improve our strength first."
Jiang Li didn't take a walk anymore, and the two of them went directly to Tingyu Tower.
This is the highest place and is on an island in the middle of the lake, so there is no need to worry about being disturbed, making it perfect for practicing martial arts.
The two of them sat cross-legged on the balcony facing each other, clasped their hands, and began to practice the divine body-building technique.
As usual, Jiang Li used his spiritual sense to guide the two people's internal energy to circulate the Great Circulation. The true energy flowed through their bodies, constantly circulating and tempering their bodies.
Gradually, Xie Changan discovered that a spot of light seemed to appear in his mind!
