Strange Tales of the Ghosts

Ziyun wanted to make a mirror before the rubble was sucked back by the Sansheng Stone, so she had to get the black iron first. This was not difficult for her. It only required a trip. The important thing was that she couldn't carry the Sansheng Stone with her. She took the fallen gravel with her to avoid being discovered, so she gave the Sansheng Stone to Xia Ziqian for safekeeping. Xia Ziqian waited there while Ziyun came to Xiqi alone. All the strong men in the army recognized him and would not stop him, so she met Jiang Ziya smoothly.

"Uncle Jiang."

"Are you here?" Jiang Ziya put down the book, looked up at Ziyun, and stood up with a smile.

Ziyun saw that Jiang Ziya was still a mortal, and was a little surprised: "Uncle Jiang, isn't he a god? Why are you..."

"It's okay not to mention it." Jiang Ziya smiled, pointed to the chair and said, "Sit down and talk."

"Uncle Jiang, what happened?" Ziyun remembered that among the many gods on the list of gods, one of them should belong to Jiang Ziya.

Jiang Ziya smiled and said nothing, and sighed: "It's funny to say that my old woman actually came to me on the day of becoming a god and asked me for the god's throne. I had no choice but to send her away."

"Then what should you do? Master Jiang." Ziyun knew that Jiang Ziya had a wife before he left the army, but she died not long after.

Jiang Ziya laughed, stroking his white beard and replied: "Although I have not been made a god, I have been given the right to manage the gods and monitor the world."

"So that's it, I thought..."

"By the way, you lured Young Master Xia away that day, how are you doing now?" Jiang Ziya suddenly asked.

Ziyun didn't know how to answer, so she remained silent. When Jiang Ziya saw it, he asked again, "But what trouble did you encounter?"

"To be honest with Master Jiang, Ziyun came here this time because she wanted to ask for something from Master Jiang." Ziyun replied.

"What?"

"Xuantie."

"Hahahahaha" Jiang Ziya laughed after hearing this. "I think you want some treasure. I have nothing else but a piece of black iron. Take it." Jiang Ziya said, taking out a box from the side. This box is made of wood and looks ordinary. , not eye-catching, Ziyun opened it and saw that it was indeed a good piece of black iron.

"Thank you, Master Jiang."

"No need to say thank you, but why do you want this black iron?" Jiang Ziya stared at Ziyun.

Ziyun smiled and replied: "Ziyun will definitely give Uncle Jiang an explanation in the future."

"In that case, you go ahead." Jiang Ziya's loving smile made Ziyun unable to bear the deception, but she couldn't say it. If she did, she knew Jiang Ziya would definitely stop her.

Taking Xuantie with her, Ziyun left the military camp and came to where Xia Ziqian was waiting. Xia Ziqian was already waiting impatiently. He was not only afraid that Ziyun would lie to him, but also that something would happen to Ziyun. Seeing Ziyun come back, Xia Ziqian Of course Qian is happy.

"Did you get the stuff?"

"Yeah." Ziyun nodded and looked at the surrounding environment. "We have to find a secluded place, otherwise we will be easily discovered."

"But is there any secret place around here?" Xia Ziqian has been here for two days, and the terrain is still somewhat familiar. There are mountains and trees nearby, and the most hidden place is under the big tree.

Ziyun thought for a while and said loudly: "Yes, I know a place."

"where?"

"You can come with me." Ziyun was thinking about the cave where she healed her wounds and detoxified her. In her opinion, there was no safer place than there. Taking Xia Ziqian with him, they came to the vicinity of the thatched hut. Looking at the place where they lived in the past, Xia Ziqian couldn't help but recall that at that time, he didn't know Ziyun was a god. He thought they were just an ordinary couple, but then He was very happy. Now that I think about it, I can't help but feel a little sad. The hut has not fallen down and everything is completely different. Xia Ziqian sighed.

Ziyun glanced at Xia Ziqian, then at the hut, and asked, "Ziqian, what's wrong with you?"

"..." Xia Ziqian shook his head and refused to express his feelings.

The first thing they did after they went to the cave that Ziyun discovered was to carefully hide the entrance of the cave. Ziyun took matters into her own hands and lit the fire. For seven or forty-nine days, Ziyun and Xia Zi Qian never left.

On the forty-ninth day, the black iron in the fire melted, and Ziyun fused the molten iron with the gravel. What was strange was that the mirror could not be formed no matter what, Xia Ziqian saw it and was anxious in his heart.

"What exactly is going on?"

"I don't know either." With sweat dripping from Ziyun's head, she put back the molten iron mixed with gravel. She repeated this process many times, but still failed. Seeing that her hard work was about to be wasted, Ziyun felt anxious. , the more anxious she became, the less clear she could figure out what was going on.

Seeing this situation, Xia Ziqian suddenly remembered the sword-making story he had heard before, and wondered if this could be the same truth, so he asked softly: "Ziyun, does it have to be a soul sacrifice?"

"I understand!" Ziyun suddenly realized. After Xia Ziqian's reminder, she knew the reason. It turned out that these three life stones and extraordinary stones, if mixed with black iron, may not fuse, unless they are mixed with things with fairy spirits. Just think of it. To do it, Ziyun bit her finger and dropped the blood into the black iron water. I saw the molten iron boiling instantly, and after glowing with red light, a bronze mirror emerged from the world, shining with golden light.

Ziyun took the bronze mirror with her hand and could still feel the heat on the bronze mirror. If she were a mortal, she would definitely be burned. Because Ziyun is a fairy in the sky, there is no abnormality in her hand. Looking at the smooth bronze mirror, Ziyun smiled: "We succeeded!"

"Is this the mirror you are talking about?" Xia Ziqian showed a happy expression on his face.

Ziyun nodded and replied happily: "Yes."

"What's a good name?"

"Name..." Ziyun looked at the bronze mirror and thought about it, everything has a name, let alone such a fairy. "Let's call it the Xuanguang Mirror. It is made of black iron and glows red when it rises into the air."

"It's a good name, but it was made with the help of the Three Life Stones. Why not take the Three Life Stones into it as well?"

"No." Ziyun couldn't help but frown when she thought about this. "Stealing the Three Life Stones is not honorable after all. If heaven and earth know about this, it will be a shame for Heaven. The fault is mine alone. I should not tarnish the reputation of Heaven."

"Maybe you're right." Xia Ziqian looked at Ziyun thoughtfully. He suddenly felt that he seemed to have gone too far. The woman in front of him was not an ordinary person. She had saved him several times, but she also After giving himself a happy time, he was not satisfied but wanted to destroy Fairy Ziyun's identity. Thinking of this, Xia Ziqian couldn't be happy.

Seeing Xia Ziqian's disappointed look, Ziyun quickly asked, "Are you unhappy?"

"No." Xia Ziqian tried his best to smile. As a ghost, he couldn't say whether he was happy or unhappy. Only because of his obsession with Ziyun did he stay in the ghost place with such a strange identity. world.

Ziyun looked at the Xuanguang Mirror and took a deep breath. She wanted to know so much. She wanted to know the truth that had puzzled her for so long. Unable to wait, Ziyun used fairy magic to open the Xuanguang Mirror. She saw what was in the mirror. The brilliance appeared everywhere, just like a pebble dropped into water and rippled away, opening up the past and present lives of Ziyun and Xia Ziqian.

The picture that appeared in the mirror turned out to be in heaven, with fairy mist covering the ground, and a golden cauldron placed in a room. Ziyun had been there, and it was Taishang Laojun's alchemy room. She was feeling strange, and the picture appeared. Two little fairies appeared, one male and one female. The male fairy looked at the fire with a fan in his hand. He smiled at the female fairy and asked in a childish voice: "If we eat it secretly, what will happen to the master when he comes back?" manage?"

"How could it be? If you don't tell me, the master won't know." The female fairy child stood on her toes and reached for the pills placed in the pill furnace. Finally, she touched two pills. After taking them out, The female fairy child pulled the male fairy child aside.

"Come on, one for you and one for me."

"This..." The male fairy boy glanced at the elixir and hesitated. He knew that the elixirs refined by Taishang Laojun were limited in number, and they would definitely be discovered if they took them.

The female fairy child ate her own piece first, and then looked at the male fairy child. "I've eaten it now. If you don't eat it, you just want to betray me."

"Okay." The male fairy boy and the female fairy child grew up together and had a deep relationship with each other. Of course, he didn't want to make the female fairy child unhappy because of this. After taking the elixir, he chewed it and swallowed it.

When the female fairy child saw that the male fairy child had taken the elixir, she clapped her hands and laughed: "You are such a big fool." After saying that, she took out an elixir in her hand and said proudly: "How could you be so stupid? ? If you take the master's elixir, the master will punish you."

"You..." The male fairy boy did not expect that the female fairy boy would deliberately tease him. At this time, it was too late to regret it. After taking the elixir, there was no possibility of spitting it out.

As soon as Taishang Laojun came back, he discovered that the elixir was missing. Before Taishang Laojun could wait, the male fairy boy knelt in Taishang Laojun's hall. When Taishang Laojun saw the male fairy boy acting like this, he guessed a bit. He frowned and asked, "Tong'er, did you really take it?"

"Yes..." The male fairy child glanced at the female fairy child, lowered his head and replied, "My disciple took it."

"This elixir is dedicated to the Jade Emperor. Since you took it, why don't you hand it over quickly?" Taishang Laojun stretched out his hand.

When the male fairy boy heard that it was to be dedicated to the Jade Emperor, he was frightened to death and hurriedly kowtowed: "My disciple deserves to die. Please save my disciple, master."

"Who did you give that elixir to?" Taishang Laojun knew that the matter was serious and couldn't help but worry that the elixir was lost. Even he couldn't afford such a crime. It would be bad if the Jade Emperor blamed it. .

The female fairy child broke into a cold sweat and stared at the male fairy child. She also knew that she was afraid, so she quickly winked at the male fairy child. After the male fairy child looked at the female fairy child, he whispered: "My disciple has eaten."

"What!?" Taishang Laojun was so angry that he almost fainted. "You are such a brave boy, you secretly took the elixir dedicated to the Jade Emperor. Do you want to make me angry to death?"

"..." The male fairy boy and the female fairy boy looked at each other. Although they were young, they knew that gods could not die, but if the Jade Emperor was angry, it would be true that they would be destroyed physically and mentally.
