Ghost Marriage

Chapter 40 - Demonic Mirror (2)

During the time Qing Er was gone, I had been staring at the copper mirror in front of the bed boringly. I looked around, and after looking around, I realised that this copper mirror was not simple at all. Qing Er didn't really explain the wonders of her magic item to me, but I was rather interested in them, so I started to ponder them myself.

The image that was reflected inside the mirror was not very clear, and in the midst of it all, there were even some illusionary images. I don't know if it was because I had just woken up, but my eyes were blurry, and I actually saw two reflections in the middle of the mirror.

I thought that Qing Er suddenly came in, so I didn't mind, but after listening carefully, I didn't hear any obvious footsteps. I looked behind me again, but it was still empty.

"That's strange. Other than me, why would there be another person? But there are indeed two reflections. This is truly strange." I said to myself.

But when he looked back at the mirror, there were still two shadows. Could one of these two shadows be a ghost? To verify, I moved from left to right, but these two shadows moved with me! Does this mean that these two shadows are my reflections?

I remember now, when Qing Er left just now, she told me that this mirror was the so-called "Demonic Reflection Mirror" that we used to speak of. The so called Demonic Reflection Mirror is definitely a mirror that can make other things shine out, and ordinary people understand. But I think it's strange. Even if I'm abnormal, I should only have one shadow, right? How could there be two inside!

Just as I was thinking about this puzzling question, my hand touched a protruding area behind the mirror. I was curious, so I turned the mirror 180 degrees, and as a result, the exquisite decorations on the back of the mirror attracted my attention.

"What exactly is this thing?" I touched the protruding pearl in the center of the ornament, and it actually turned! Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be this pearl that was originally flexible. It was embedded in a hollow space! It's so magical. I was suddenly interested and touched the pearl a few times. Suddenly, two depressions appeared on both sides of the mirror.

What kind of switches they are, I don't know. I looked at the two indents on the left and right, there was no difference, but when I touched them with my hand, the image inside the mirror was gone. When I pressed the button on the left, there was only a shadow left inside the mirror – this shadow is my own shadow, it's no different from when I usually shine on the mirror.

I felt that it was meaningless, so I pressed the button on the right side of the concave area and only one shadow appeared. It was the shadow of me among the two shadows, which was different from the one I used to see when I looked at the mirror, because the shadow's shape was very distorted, it was a mass of black, and it seemed to have my outline, but there was a tail behind it.

I don't really understand why this mirror could produce two shadows, but I feel that there must be something fishy about it. There can only be one shadow of me!

Just when I was about to look behind me to see if there was any other mechanisms, Qing Er pushed open the door and entered, scaring me. I quickly pretended that nothing was wrong and put down the mirror in my hands.

"What are you doing? Why are you looking so panicked?" she asked, looking at me.

I didn't know how to reply. I only told her that there were two shadows inside this mirror. I felt that it was very strange, so I decided to research it. Regarding the mechanism of the pearl, I didn't explain it clearly, I'm afraid that if it came into contact with some kind of secret that couldn't be leaked, Qing Er would blame me.

"Oh, that, don't you know that this is the Demonic Mirror?" "No," she said.

I looked at Qing Er in shock. I felt that what she said was very weird, I was obviously a person, no matter what, I wouldn't be able to see two shadows.

"That's because the other one is causing trouble. Our soul s are polyhedron, and some of them were born with extremely dense yin energy, because they matched up with the shadows of our past lives. This shadow is the meaning of the Spirit Body, and the proverb is that you have two soul s inside your body that can be seen through the Demon Mirror. "Don't make a fuss." Qing Er said.

Thinking about it this way, the stories Pan Xi told him in her previous life were all true. She said that I was a fake Taoist, a real fox demon, only fox demon would have a tail, the nine tails that appeared inside the mirror just now!

"What's wrong? Your expression is so ugly, it's very normal. Look, I have two shadows as well. My identity in my previous life was that of a Heavenly Palace's guard, so I was a man in that shadow." Qing Er said with a smile.

However, I felt that something was wrong. Her previous life's identity was very upright, so I didn't care what kind of shadow she cast. But I am not a shadow of a person, but a shadow of a demon.

"Alright, stop looking. The Demonic Mirror can only tell people what kind of past life is like. Normal people can't find a second shadow. You better not scare yourself. " She looked at me with a dark expression.

I felt the atmosphere turn serious and asked her if it was because of the cockerel.

"That's right, I'm a rooster so I don't squawk, but I just checked the situation. I feel that you have an evil aura around you, so you brought in some bad things." Qing Er said.

I know that there is something bad about me, but I can't immediately tell her that I was reincarnated as a fox demon. I know that the people of the Ghost Gate are here to catch demons. Catching ghosts and catching demons are the same, I want to capture them in the end.

"Night is about to fall and I will be here to protect you. However, my power is not enough, I can only protect your safety. It's not a foolproof plan, so you need to be on your guard." Qing Er reminded me.
