Mortal Mirror

Li Ergou glanced at Murong Shijiu, nodded at him, and was very happy.

Then his gaze turned to Yulu and Sining, and finally landed on Zhuzhu. At this moment, Li Ergou seemed to have returned from a fiery rebirth, his heart surprisingly calm.

He gently opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, he didn't say anything. Perhaps, at this moment, silence speaks louder than words.

The night was beautiful, the moon was big and round, and the gentle breeze made people feel comfortable all over.

In the center of Baojing City, there is a small lake, the lake is as calm as a mirror, so it is called Mirror Lake. Many large willow trees are planted on the shore of Mirror Lake, and the willow branches hang down, revealing their silky smoothness.

Ripples划过across the lake, and a small boat floated on the surface.

The boat was not big, only one and a half zhang long and seven chi wide. It was covered with thick gold silk soft carpets, and several very precious fruits were placed on the bow, which was extremely luxurious.

On the boat, on the soft carpet, lay two people, their heads facing each other, their bodies each occupying one end. Looking down from the sky, the small boat, a couple, the lake, the breeze, what a peaceful and warm scene.

Li Ergou put his hands behind his head, looked at the stars in the night sky, and after a while, he said: "At that time, I was really a little desperate."

Zhuzhu was wearing a red dress, also resting on her hands. Her eyes showed starlight, but she said with a distressed expression: "I can understand what you were thinking at that time.

You know, my heart ached when I saw you like that, but you were wrong, you were wrong to run away."

Li Ergou smiled bitterly and said: "At that time, I was so scared, so scared to see you."

Zhuzhu curled her lips and said: "You shouldn't be afraid. You know me. Do you think I would dislike you? If that were the case, we wouldn't have met and known each other.

You know, I often think of you in the Cloud Heaven Palace, but I know that the chances of us meeting are very slim. Sometimes, I try to erase you from my memory, but later, I realized that I can't do it.

Perhaps, you are an indelible memory in my youth."

Li Ergou didn't expect that he had such a place in Zhuzhu's heart. His heart warmed and said: "You know, I once just wanted to be an ordinary person, but there is a girl in my heart that I can't let go of, so I want to give it a try.

I told myself in my heart that although I climb very slowly, I never retreat."

"Girl, you wouldn't tell me that person is me," Zhuzhu's face flushed slightly.

Li Ergou smiled, "Yes, that girl's name is Zhuzhu."

The two turned their heads at the same time, looking into each other's eyes, as if at this moment, there was only each other in each other's eyes.

After a long time, Zhuzhu snorted and said, "You wouldn't lie to me, would you?"

"Do you believe in fate? Perhaps, fate destined you and me."

Li Ergou stretched out a hand and gently grabbed Zhuzhu's palm. The two palms intertwined, as if they were one.

This was the first time Li Ergou expressed his feelings, the first time he truly held the hand of the girl he loved, even the unrestrained and carefree him.

His heart, at this moment, was also beating nervously.

The two of you looked at me, and I looked at you, your eyes full of you and me.

But after a while, tears streaked across Zhuzhu's eyes and said: "Ergou, forget me, maybe you and I like each other, but you have to know one thing, we are not children anymore.

Many times, we have to face reality.

I once told you that although I was born with fine clothes and jade food, enjoying endless beauty, it also destined me to not be able to control my own life.

My fate is firmly in the hands of my family. I am me, but I don't belong to me. This is perhaps the greatest sadness of people like us."

Seeing Zhuzhu sad, Li Ergou felt a pain in his heart and gently wiped away her tears and said: "We cultivators are going against the heavens, isn't it to resist fate?"

"Resist? How to resist? Could it be that I don't recognize my parents? It's easy to say, but it's so hard to do."

"I will work hard. What if I climb high enough, high enough that no one can manipulate your destiny?"

Zhuzhu looked into Li Ergou's eyes again, and after a moment, she said: "I really didn't expect you to have such ambition, but, can I really wait until that day?"

Li Ergou fell silent. He didn't dare to give her any guarantee. Zhuzhu didn't speak either. In fact, she didn't want to discourage him.

How high can be high? Higher than the princes of Daxia? That's only the emperor.

Perhaps become a figure like Sword Master? But with Ergou's bones, alas, how easy is it? Even the Sword Master's peerless posture, achieving the title of Sword Master, is not a matter of overnight.

What's more, things in the world are never swayed by human will. Man will conquer nature is just an idea, how many people can really do it?

The two people are destined to be people from two worlds. Perhaps, cherishing the moment of tenderness in front of you is the best choice.

However, she couldn't bear to discourage him, so her hand slightly exerted force, tightly holding Li Ergou's hand.

Li Ergou seemed to understand Zhuzhu's mind, but said: "I won't promise anything, but I can guarantee that I will definitely work hard."

Zhuzhu stretched out a jade-like finger and put it on Li Ergou's lips and said: "Shh, I don't want your guarantee, I just want our beautiful time at this moment, quietly enjoying this peace.

Let's leave the future to the future."

But at this moment, Li Ergou had made up his mind that he must become extremely powerful, powerful enough to protect himself and protect all the people he wanted to protect.

In an alley in Baojing Prefecture, in a dark corner, a bruised and swollen little beggar was playing with the bronze mirror in his hand. He loved this thing very much.

He had摸来的it from the guy who was about to die that day. At first, he felt that this thing was very fun and even very valuable.

So he took this thing to the newly rising beggar leader nearby, wanting to get some benefits from it.

What he didn't expect was that the damn Huang Batian didn't even look at it and had people beat him up, which was really infuriating.

Looking at the bronze mirror for a moment, he thought to himself, it's okay, then I'll just take it and play with it myself. This thing is so good, not only can it shine my appearance, but at critical moments, selling it can also exchange for a lot of copper coins.

Hey, there is even a small deer-shaped pattern on the back of this mirror. Looking at it against the faint light, this deer is lifelike and very beautiful.

Just as he was becoming more and more fond of it, suddenly a ray of light flashed, and the bronze mirror flew into the air.
