Xiuxian Work Log
Chapter 56: Green Mirror
Lan Tang rescued Cui, and in order to make her life better in Cui's family, she put the green mirror into Cui's body.
Mortals cannot use spiritual power to drive treasures, but they can still be affected by treasures if they come into contact with them for a long time.
Some treasures can bring people luck, money, and beauty; some treasures can also bring people bad luck and physical weakness.
Because the green mirror has a small world within it, it nourishes Cui's body and spirit all the time.
Lan Tang felt that this could ensure Cui would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life.
However, things did not develop as she imagined.
Mortals are not without brains, and Cui's abnormality was soon discovered by the people in Cui's mansion. After some trials and tribulations, Cui became the eldest daughter of Cui's mansion.
Lan Tang hid in the dark and witnessed how the second son of the Cui family wanted to make Cui into a medicine man all the time, but was finally stopped by others and failed.
Lan Tang watched Cui grow from the age of five to eighteen, marrying into the royal family and becoming the Crown Princess. A year later, when the late emperor passed away, she became the Empress.
Becoming a queen should be a very good result for them as mortals.
Lan Tang was not very sure, but after hearing those mortals say that Cui was living well, he quickly forgot about the matter.
She was too busy; this place was much bigger than she'd imagined. She was too weak; she could only manage a few countries with her cultivation each day. She was too annoyed; forced by the threats of others, she could only wander around.
He only came to see Cui every two or three years. After confirming that she was still alive, he continued to travel.
In reality, she shouldn't be here. The Rain Tomb Forest was the place that woman had chosen for her. The spiritual energy and water transport there were enough for her to cultivate for thousands of years. But when she thought about how that woman had given her children first, and how her children were pretending to be merciful and giving them to her, she felt sick.
Here, there is no constant control by that woman, no spiritual power and abundant resources for cultivating immortals.
There is only a desert that stretches as far as the eye can see and a cage from which Cui can never escape.
It was a very ordinary day, Cui swallowed the poison.
Lan Tang did not stop her. She just felt sorry that even though Cui had Qingjing, she still ended up in tragedy.
Her unnecessary actions seemed to have changed nothing.
Cui is like a pig or sheep that keeps struggling and can never escape being slaughtered.
This time, Cui seemed to realize it and she ended her own life.
Lan Tang looked at Cui wearing the queen's dress. The people around her had already been dispersed by her. At this time, the hall was quiet, and Cui lay silently on the ground waiting for death to come.
Lan Tang could already foresee Cui's ending. She was about to leave, but Cui spoke.
At that time, Cui Jiaojiao was no longer as skinny as the peasant girl she was. Her skin was smooth, delicate and elastic, but her eyes were dull, like a walking corpse.
Cui said: "If I hadn't knocked on my face that time, would I have been freed long ago?
It doesn't matter who kills me, it's better than being robbed by someone's schemes.
As a woman, do I owe everything to men? Is the purpose of having good luck to help them change their fate?
Oh my God."
"This isn't the Qing Jing's fault." Lan Tang appeared in front of Cui, looking at her shocked expression. "The Qing Jing can bring good luck to people, but it mainly brings good luck to the owner.
It’s not what you think, it can only bring good luck to others.”
Lan Tang paused, "I gave you the Green Mirror because I saw that you died so miserably in your previous life, so I wanted you to find perfection in this life."
"Perfect?" Cui couldn't help laughing, black blood overflowed from the corner of her mouth, like a rotten flower, dangerous and on the verge of death.
Cui: "What is perfection? As long as you live in this world, it will not be perfect!
As long as I am a woman, they will bite my bones into pieces and swallow me!
This is a cannibalistic place. The powerful eat the powerless! The rich eat the poor! The talented eat the mediocre! The old eat the young! Men eat women!
Women are the last link in their diet, and they are the slaves that ensure they can enjoy themselves without restraint! "
"Cough cough cough!" Cui was very excited and vomited out large pieces of blood. The whole floor was stained red with blood.
"You hate me." Lan Tang said calmly to the embarrassed Cui.
"I do not hate you."
Unexpectedly, Cui gave this answer.
"On the contrary, I am very grateful to you. Qing Jing saved my life many times, allowing me to avenge my sisters. Without Qing Jing, I..."
There was no breath left. Lan Tang felt Cui's breathing stop, and she didn't even say the last word.
She hates it when someone doesn't finish talking, just like Cui Na!
Scales appeared on her body, and Lan Tang pulled out a royal blue scale from her heart.
As soon as the scale was pulled out, Lan Tang spat out a mouthful of blood. He wiped it off with his sleeve and placed the scale on Cui's body.
The scales on the body emitted a soft blue color. Cui's body was kept in place by Lan Tang's magic, and she looked at her blankly.
Cui: "What are you doing?"
Lan Tang: "Do you want to see what this world really looks like?"
Cui: "Are there really immortals in this world?"
Lan Tang: "Immortals are rare, but those who practice immortality are as numerous as the hairs on a cow."
-----------------
Under the starry night sky, the sounds of animals are particularly clear in the dark.
After another failure, He San simply put the Yupanqin away. After all, the river god was very stubborn, and he couldn't afford to anger Yupan.
Amu on the side kept digging the soil repeatedly. When he found a gap, he continued digging. After the gap was repaired, he continued digging.
At one point, he was so obsessed with it that he refused to listen even when He San asked him to make the bed and serve him. He San was so angry that he called him "a piece of dead wood, a blockhead". Amu replied, "Dig the soil, dig the soil, bury it."
When He San really lay down in the pit it had dug, it would bury him in the soil without hesitation. When it dug up He San again, it would dig him out again.
He San sighed and lay on the spiritual wood bed looking at the stars.
The old ancestor didn't send any news, nor did he send anyone. After learning that he was trapped by a little river god, he even called him a waste.
But where had he seen a river god that could transform into a dragon? The lesser river gods in their area were either of low cultivation, relying on their families' wealth to become river gods. They wouldn't just turn into a cup of dust after two hundred years.
The five-colored mirror in the storage bag became slightly hot. He San's eyes lit up and he immediately took out the five-colored mirror.
It’s Fu Weisheng.
He San heard Fu Weisheng's suppressed moan, and the five-colored mirror carried Fu Weisheng's usual emotionless voice, but it was a little weaker than usual.
Fu Weisheng: "I was beaten by Lan Tang, but I didn't die."
He San: "And then?"
Fu Weisheng: "I plan to return to the Fu family and become a rice bug."
He San said with envy: "It's good to have a good brother. I want to be a rice bug too."
Fu Weisheng: "Then you work hard."
He San: "Then I'd better ask Amu to bury me."
Fu Weisheng: "You are so smart."
He San: "Thank you for the compliment."
The two ended the conversation.
