Two mirrors?
Mr. Wang, are you sure you are not joking?
Mr. Wang did not answer me directly, but asked me, have you ever been to a barber shop?
Is not this nonsensical? As long as you are an individual, you should go to a barber shop, right?
He said, what I am talking about is not a beauty salon like in a big city, but a small barber shop like in a town, with just a small room, two chairs, and a large mirror hanging on the left and right walls.
Let me tell you, this is the kind of hair salon I go to. I can’t afford to go to a hair salon because it’s too expensive.
He nodded and said, since you have been to a barber shop, it is easy to understand. Let me ask you, if you stood between two mirrors, what would you see?
I imagined that scene and said, I would see countless barber shops and countless versions of me.
He said, so if you are walking with your back to a mirror, will there be countless of you walking behind you?
I nodded to show that I understood.
He said, the same principle is true, because the two mirrors are facing each other, so if you turn your back to one mirror, you will face the other mirror. When you get close to the mirror, you will see a and a mirror on the opposite side. Are you exactly the same person?
I had thought of this, so I nodded again.
Mr. Wang said, this is why you hear countless footsteps behind you and see someone who looks exactly like you on the opposite side, but I don’t see a single person.
As Mr. Wang said, it is true that two mirrors can do this.
But if it was really a mirror, why did I walk for so long without hitting a mirror?
Mr. Wang said, if you can hit the mirror, then they are not them.
I asked, who are they?
Mr. Wang said that in ancient times they were called Kun (one word) craftsman, but now they are called barbers. They are a group of guys who hide in the dark and specialize in manipulating other people's luck. They are very insidious! Using mirrors to trap others is their method, called the 'mirror world'!
realm? Qi training realm? Transformation realm? Why does this have anything to do with cultivating immortals again?
Mr. Wang looked at me as if I were an idiot and said, "If you don't listen to me telling you to read less novels, how can anyone cultivate immortality in this world?" They are all lies, do you believe them? This mirror world is not an environmental realm, but a mirror world.
I still didn’t understand, so I asked Mr. Wang, if you want to use a mirror to block the entire road, how big of a mirror should you use?
Although the main road in our village is not wide, it is at least two meters wide. If you want to block the entire road, the mirror must be at least two meters wide. As for the height, since my figure can be seen from so far away, it must be at least seven or eight meters high, right?
There was no reason why Mr. Wang and I couldn't see such a large mirror standing on the road. But we have just been trapped for so long, except that I saw another me, I didn't see any shit! So, could it be that Mr. Wang made a mistake?
Mr. Wang said that there is no need for a big mirror, a palm-sized mirror is enough. This is their craftsmanship method.
I still didn’t quite believe it, so I asked him, can a palm-sized mirror trap us two to death? Isn't this a bit too far-fetched?
When Mr. Wang heard this, he said angrily: A drop of water as deep as the knee can drown a person, so why can't a slap in the face and a mirror as big as a drop trap a person?
I was speechless by Mr. Wang's words. Indeed, Chen Guzi was drowned by the water in the grave. Such weird things can happen. We were trapped by two palm-sized mirrors. What's so strange about living there?
Moreover, if it is really just a palm-sized mirror, let alone at night, even in broad daylight, if we search inch by inch along the road, we may not be able to find it, let alone Mr. Wang and I will bump into the mirror. .
But what I don’t understand is, how on earth did they trap us using two mirrors?
Mr. Wang said that it is very simple. Choose a section of road between the ancestral hall and your house and place a mirror facing each other. The two of us will be trapped inside. And because the mirror can only reflect pictures but not sound, we can't hear the sound outside, we can only hear the sound inside the mirror. No one outside could wake us up.
I imagined the scene Mr. Wang mentioned. Even if there were two large enough mirrors erected on the road, and even if Mr. Wang and I couldn't see it, the mirrors would only reflect our own faces to scare us. As long as we are not afraid and walk straight over, won't it be able to trap us?
Mr. Wang said that if it were simple, it wouldn't be the 'mirror world', the first of the ten most difficult techniques of the craftsman's sect.
Let me tell you, doesn’t my method work?
Mr. Wang did not speak, but took out his ax from behind, dug a hole in the ground, and then told me to remember this hole and move forward now.
I didn't know what Mr. Wang meant, but I still followed his request and started to move forward. After walking forward for a while, I staggered and almost fell to the ground. When I looked down, I found that there was a newly dug hole under my feet. It was the one dug out by Mr. Wang with an axe.
Mr. Wang said, now do you understand?
I nodded to show that I understood, and an uncontrollable chill rose in my heart.
Mr. Wang said that as long as two mirrors are placed opposite each other, the path between the mirrors will be copied infinitely by the two mirrors. Therefore, no matter we walk together, we will keep walking on this path until we are exhausted. Go to death!
Before Mr. Wang said it, I had already thought of the consequences, but I still took a chance and deceived myself into thinking that Mr. Wang had a way to solve such a thing. Until he said it himself, the chill in my heart instantly swept through my body, like falling into an ice cellar.
But even so, I was impressed by their craftsmanship. If I had personal experience, I would never have imagined that just two small mirrors could trap someone to death.
I remembered what Mr. Wang said before, if I can't survive tonight and my grandfather jumps out of the coffin, everyone in our village will die. But now that we are trapped here, doesn't that mean that our village will soon be massacred?
I asked Mr. Wang tremblingly, how long can those two willow trees be managed?
Mr. Wang knew what I meant. He frowned and said uncertainly. It depends on how much your grandfather cares about you.
Seeing that I didn't understand what he meant, he explained that the more your grandfather felt sorry for you, the more he didn't dare to touch the two willow trees. Naturally, he didn't dare to touch the coffin. But as you can see, your grandfather is also incapacitated. To be honest, I don't know how long he can last.
I glanced in the direction of the ancestral hall, and my heart sank to the bottom, so I hurriedly asked Mr. Wang, what should we do now, should we just sit here and wait to die?
Mr. Wang said that since I know that it is Kunjiang who is involved in the mirror world, I will naturally have a way to break it.
Let me tell you, hurry up and break it. What are you waiting for?
If we delay any longer, everyone in our village will die!
He rolled his eyes at me, and then said angrily, "Waiting for the moon."
