Mortal Mirror

Zhao Xiong told everyone to look for a secret room, nothing more, and asked everyone not to speculate or ask too many questions.

These were all rules of the Divine Dragon Hall; things that shouldn't be said shouldn't be, and questions that shouldn't be asked shouldn't be. Otherwise, you wouldn't even know how your head was lost.

Li Ergou and the others accepted the task and began to disperse.

When Li Ergou heard this task, he was thoughtful and couldn't help but think of the scene triggered in the blood jade. He seemed to have seen a secret room as well.

If that's the case, the higher-ups must have gotten some inspiration from the blood jade, which is why they sent people to investigate.

It seems that even if I don't want to get involved, I can't. I can only bite the bullet and go.

Everyone dispersed and quickly disappeared into the night.

Li Ergou tried hard to recall the scene in his mind, trying to find some special traces.

He had no choice but to take out the blood jade again, but this time, nothing happened, and he could only feel the coldness of the blood jade.

He sighed and could only give up.

But recalling the scene from yesterday, he had a rough idea in his mind. Suddenly, a sound of ghostly weeping came from afar.

"Wuwuwu… Wuwuwu…" It sounded like a woman crying.

Li Ergou was slightly stunned, thinking, could there really be a ghost? After thousands of years, even if there were ghosts, they should have dissipated.

Following the sound, he quickly went over. Soon, he saw a woman sitting in front of a well, dressed in tattered clothes and with disheveled hair.

But the feeling this woman gave Li Ergou didn't seem like a ghost at all. Why? She didn't have any ghostly aura, not even a trace.

If she were a ghost, she should at least have some Yin energy. Li Ergou's cultivation level wouldn't be able to miss it, unless her cultivation was heaven-defying, or she had cultivated some special technique.

Furthermore, a ghost wouldn't bother pretending to be human and selling misery here, would it?

Filled with doubts, he moved his divine sense and flew to the woman's side.

When the woman saw Li Ergou, she was so startled that she jumped back. From the gaps in her black hair, a pair of slender eyes could be seen.

"Who are you?" The woman's voice was somewhat fearful.

Li Ergou curled his lips and said, "I should be asking who you are. What are you trying to do, acting like a ghost in the middle of the night?"

The woman looked at Li Ergou and couldn't help but tremble all over. Her voice was terrified as she said, "Don't kill me, don't kill me. I didn't see anything, I didn't see anything."

"Is she crazy?" This was Li Ergou's first judgment.

At this moment, the woman was squatting on the ground, curled up into a ball, squeezed against the well wall, looking at Li Ergou with terrified eyes.

Li Ergou shook his head slightly and turned to leave.

Unexpectedly, the woman suddenly lunged out and grabbed Li Ergou's leg, saying, "Food, give me food. I can give you something, I can give you…"

Who knows what crazy things this woman was saying, but she really looked pitiful. Who knows whose daughter was in such a miserable state.

Li Ergou's heart was still touched. He rummaged through the copper mirror. He never threw away the leftovers after each dinner, because there were many good things inside.

He found a fragrant roasted lamb leg and handed it to the girl.

The girl was immediately overjoyed and snatched it to start eating.

This woman's words were startling, but since she was crazy, she couldn't be treated like a normal person, right?

Li Ergou was curious about what had died, and whether it was related to the woman's madness.

The woman walked ahead, singing and dancing. Li Ergou's brows furrowed even tighter because he discovered that this woman really didn't seem simple.

Saying she was crazy, but she didn't seem crazy. Because he had met many crazy people in the yamen prison, this woman's actions were sometimes very normal. Forget it, he would see what tricks she was playing.

After going around in several circles, the woman finally brought Li Ergou to the deepest part of the Crown Prince's mansion.

Then, she pushed open a door. When Li Ergou saw the scene inside the room, his pupils shrank.

What did he see? The room was actually full of hanging corpses. He didn't know how long they had been hanging there. All the corpses had turned into mummies.

The woman looked at Li Ergou and laughed, "Hehehe, did you see? They're all dead."

"Why did you bring me here?" Li Ergou finally felt that something was wrong.

The woman pushed aside the long hair on her head, revealing a pale face. She suddenly grinned and said, "I'm so lonely. I want you to stay and keep me company. Will you stay and keep me company?"

Li Ergou snorted coldly and said, "Are you a human or a ghost?"

As Li Ergou spoke, he reached out his hand and grabbed at the woman.

The woman laughed, "Hehehe, so fun, come and catch me."

As she spoke, her body flashed and she disappeared directly in front of Li Ergou, entering the room.

At this time, all the mummies in the room began to sway. The woman's voice came again, "The sky is long, the earth is long, mother's child, mother loves to look."

In a blink of an eye, the woman appeared in the depths of the room. She didn't know when she had a child in her arms. The child had an ugly face, his mouth was full of sharp teeth, and he looked at Li Ergou with cold eyes.

Li Ergou narrowed his eyes. He suddenly felt a mysterious aura. That's right, it was the aura of the Imperial Dragon Qi. Something was wrong. Why was there Imperial Dragon Qi in this seemingly ordinary room?

He seemed to suddenly understand something. The reason why the woman didn't have any ghostly aura was probably because she had absorbed the Imperial Dragon Qi. The Dragon Qi was fierce and suppressed her ghostly aura. It must be like this.

At this moment, Li Ergou looked at the woman and the child in her arms and couldn't help but sigh, "You and I were originally like well water and river water, not interfering with each other. Why do you have to force me?"

The woman's face instantly became ferocious, "The child needs a father. Look how well-behaved he is. You are a good person, so I didn't kill you immediately.

As long as you stay and take good care of us mother and son, wouldn't the three of us be extremely happy? Come on, be happy."

As she spoke, she actually beckoned to Li Ergou.

Li Ergou shook his head helplessly, thinking that this ghost was really crazy, but at this moment, he glanced at a mummy, and when he saw the mummy's appearance, he couldn't help but be stunned.
