I picked up the folding mirror beside the bed and my whole face was reflected in the mirror.
Looking at this freckled face, I broke into a cold sweat.
"Don't look at your face, pay attention to your eyes." Jiang Lanyue reminded me.
I leaned forward, my eyes taking up almost half of the mirror, and stared at it for almost a minute. The black pupils in the mirror suddenly shrank into a vertical needle, and I blinked quickly.
My eyelids clearly didn't move, but my pupils closed quickly, like...like a lizard blinking vertically!
Seeing this scene, I almost lifted the mirror.
What's going on? Why are my pupils blinking on their own and standing upright like a lizard?
No matter how stupid I am, I can still tell that these are not human eyes.
Jiang Lanyue said in a deep tone: "I have been by your side since you were born. Your eyes cannot be replaced unless..."
He hesitated to speak, and the lengthy final words were swallowed alive.
I recalled carefully that the first time I saw this face was when I was caught in a mirror by the river before my sixteenth birthday.
This proves that my eyes were changed before I was sixteen.
If Jiang Lanyue hadn't lied to me and had been protecting me since I was born, I couldn't have had my eyes replaced without anyone noticing, unless...
Unless grandma did it!
Otherwise, I can't think of any other possibilities.
Jiang Lanyue remained silent, probably thinking of this possibility.
Plus...the rules grandma wants me to follow.
Don’t look in the mirror, don’t take photos, and try to avoid all reflective objects.
I didn't understand it before, but now I seem to be close to the truth.
I can't look in the mirror, are you afraid that I will discover the secret of my pupils?
I'm not allowed to take pictures, probably to prevent me from discovering that I have two faces.
But why is it okay after the age of sixteen?
I am really curious about what I would be like now if I had not broken the law.
"Jiang Lanyue, you guessed it was my grandma, right?" I asked calmly.
He hummed: "Except for her, no one can change your eyes under my nose."
"But why did she do this?" I was puzzled.
Jiang Lanyue sneered coldly. He seemed to have guessed something, but he didn't want to speak. When I asked him anxiously, he only said: "I will find out about this matter myself. Instead of caring about the reason, it is better to worry more about yourself. This pair of If the demonic eye is not controlled properly, it will easily swallow your soul... By then, even the Great Luo Immortals will not be able to save you!"
What he said doesn't sound like alarmism, I believe what he said is true!
If this evil eye becomes a climate, it will definitely find a way to take over my body.
By then, my consciousness will become blurred, my soul will be swallowed up, and finally I will be taken away by monsters.
I can't figure out why grandma would put a time bomb on me.
At this time, Jiang Lanyue said: "You should be lucky that that car accident indirectly saved you."
"Car accident? Saved me?" My jaw almost dropped.
Jiang Lanyue nodded and told me that the Yin man used paper figures to block the road, causing the bus to crash into the cliff. Because I injured innocent people and disturbed the Yin Division, I was punished to have my Yang Shou wiped away.
For this reason, I have been working very hard in the past two years to look after others and accumulate virtue.
"Fortunately, you have been seeing things, your Taoism has also improved, and you have temporarily suppressed these evil eyes, otherwise... you would have ceased to exist long ago!"
There was a faint hint of fear in Jiang Lanyue's calm tone.
Even I still have lingering fears. Between death and ashes, I would rather die. At least there is the possibility of reincarnation. If the soul no longer exists, I will really disappear between heaven and earth.
Therefore, everything in this world is so subtle.
It was a blessing in disguise. The car accident caused me to be injured and hospitalized. My life span was completely wiped out. It was truly a disaster.
Unexpectedly, two years later, things turned around, and the car accident indirectly saved my life!
I wonder if the Yin people in the underworld will be so angry that they will vomit blood when they find out.
Jiang Lanyue stared into my eyes and said, "This pair of demon eyes has been lurking in you for many years, and even I didn't notice it. You should be a powerful character, but...it seems that it hasn't fully awakened yet. There is not much time left for you before you wake up..."
I'm a simple and rude person, so I decided to dig out this evil eye without stopping.
Jiang Lanyue glanced at me: "You are looking for death!"
This pair of demon eyes has been with me for more than ten years and has long been connected with my blood and soul. Trying to dig it out by external force will only stimulate it to wake up in advance and die with me.
This won't work, and that won't work either. I'm very upset now: "Then tell me, what should I do?"
Jiang Lanyue always looked calm and told me in a leisurely manner that there were three solutions.
"Find your grandma and ask her to exchange it for you."
I thought about the swallowtail butterfly painted on the back of the photo. Is it true that grandma is not dead and is still alive in this world?
My heart surged, and in a moment I returned to deathly silence.
Grandma was infected by ice silkworm Gu. She is already dead. I personally sent her to the burial.
Although I also want to lie to myself that grandma is still alive in the world, my reason tells me that this is impossible!
As for the swallowtail butterfly... I really can't explain it. It's probably someone pretending to copy it.
"What about the second one?" I asked dully.
Jiang Lanyue said: "Find the monster's body and force it to change back."
He opened his palms and looked at my eyes for a moment, and determined that it was a snake demon that had at least a thousand years of Taoism and was about to turn into a dragon.
When I heard that it was the eyes of a thousand-year-old demon or a snake, I got goosebumps all over my body.
"The world is so big, where should I look for it?" I asked.
Jiang Lanyue stared into my pupils: "Eyes will guide you."
He told me that whenever I get close to the thing's body, my eyes will jump, and there may be burning, stinging, or even phantoms.
The closer you are, the greater the reaction will be.
That being said, I still need to walk around more. I can’t always stay in one place and have to feel things everywhere.
But this kind of thing is like luck. Who knows where the snake demon is hidden in the mountains? I may never encounter it in my life.
"As for the third one..." Jiang Lanyue said firmly: "It's up to you!"
As long as I accumulate more merit, practice my skills well, and have a strong soul, I can suppress these evil eyes and make them never wake up...
After listening to it again and again, this method is finally reliable.
No one wants to leave their destiny to the uncertainty of the outside world. Everyone wants to control their own life, and I am no exception.
Instead of blindly trying to catch a mouse and trying your luck everywhere, it is better to practice hard and make yourself stronger...
I made my decision with almost no hesitation.
"I will definitely take things seriously and strive to accumulate more merit."
Hearing this, Jiang Lanyue shook her head solemnly: "Not enough."
Except for Wu Yingxue and Yao Chunli, in the past two years, I have basically watched trivial things. I have become very proficient in rice reading, but my skills have not improved at all.
These things are relatively small, and the merits accumulate very slowly. There is no problem in maintaining life, but they cannot suppress these evil eyes.
"It seems... I have to find something powerful and complicated to challenge myself." I was extremely melancholy, worried that I would accidentally lose my ability and kill myself!
I've heard before that some mages couldn't bear it and died directly on the altar.
Jiang Lanyue lowered her head and thought, then walked to the window with her hands behind her back: "There is a way to solve this urgent need..."
