(Vo2.7) Mirror City's encounter
[In front of the desert--Southern Mirror City]
The border city between the Southern Kingdom and the Jade Flower Kingdom was the Mirror City. As long as they passed through the desert and a snowy river, they would reach the Jade Flower Kingdom, which was an island.
"Shadow. Rest in the Mirror City for a day before crossing the desert." I said to Shadow at the fork in the road at the entrance of Mirror City. He nodded without saying a word.
We rode into the Mirror City. The soldiers guarding the gate might have succumbed to Shadow's cold and decisive "power" and let us in without stopping us. I dismounted and led the horse into Mirror City.
Mirror City is famous for the Heavenly Mirror that has been passed down from generation to generation. I heard that the Heavenly Mirror can see the past life and reincarnation of the fated person, but I feel that my fate can only be controlled by myself. Nothing else can control my fate.
"Palace Master. According to the information on the journey to Surin, there were seven shops under Suyu's name in Mirror City. Among them was a restaurant, the Moon Tower, which Suyu had already greeted. Palace Master, how about we rest there for a night?”
"Yes." Holding the horse, Suying reported to me while leading the way. Moon Tower? It was said that the Moon Tower was the best place to watch the moon in the Mirror City. Sitting on the half-moon shaped roof of the Moon Tower and drinking wine to watch the moon had always been the most popular thing for the literati in the Mirror City.
Today seemed to be the annual moon-admiring day. The Moon Appreciation Day in the Mirror City was different from the Mid-Autumn Festival in the country. Because the Mirror City was located at the edge of the desert, and there was a vast mountain range to the south of the Mirror City, its geographical location was very special. Therefore, the perspective of the moon here was different from other places. You could see the full moon here, but it was not necessarily the case elsewhere.
"Shadow. Go and investigate the information and itinerary of this city lord." Looking at the overly prosperous scene in the central market, even the houses in the few alleys that had just entered the city were in danger. This had something to do with the City Lord, right? So I frowned and said to the shadow. He bowed slightly and said,"Yes." This subordinate understands." So he mounted his horse and galloped away.
Although I don't care about other people's lives, but…the South has given me too much. My father has given me too much. Brother Yu is my first warmth. I can't watch a country have a little impurity. However, in the same city, there should be a gap between the rich and the poor, but how could it be so huge? There must be something wrong with this City Lord.
I lowered my eyes and led the horse slowly, afraid to see the sweet and sad color like a nightmare.
Plop!" I walked carefully, but a stiff object bumped into me. Uh…I looked up and saw a scholar holding a book like a treasure accidentally bumping into me.
However, what was with the inkstone and brush in his hands? And what about the specks of ink on my silver satin robes?
Oh, a fool, that's all. I frowned disapprovingly and continued to lead the horse slowly. Unexpectedly, the scholar suddenly woke up and reached out to pull me. But how was this possible? In a flash, I was already five miles away from him.
His red lips parted slightly in shock, his delicate eyebrows raised slightly, and his black eyes were filled with disbelief.
I shook my robe that was almost grabbed by him, a little angry. You dirtied my robe and still want to touch me? Look at this weak scholar, why is he so unrefined? Suddenly, I narrowed my eyes and turned to look at him coldly. Before my eyebrows relaxed, he suddenly saluted and said with a voice transmission,"Greetings, Palace Master." This subordinate is the Moon Tower Lord." Oh? Moon Tower Master? He didn't stay, at least he could recognize his Palace Master.
It was a little annoying. Couldn't he see that I didn't want to tangle with him over meaningless things? Looking at his respectful and stunned expression, I turned around and continued to lead the horse. But I could feel someone following me with invisibility.
I handed the horse to the waiter of the roadside inn, threw a silver note, and then flashed away.
Want to follow me? My qinggong was taught by the right protector of the Cold Moon Palace. The Protector of the Right did not know invisibility, but no one could see where he was going next, nor could they see his figure when he moved.
It seemed that Su Lin and Su Yu's teachings were not bad. A merchant was a merchant and a branch of a city, and he also knew how to hide. Speaking of which, the invisibility technique that the Pure Jade Palace studied was different from the invisibility technique of the Jade Flower King. The King's invisibility was completely invisible, and even his breathing could not be detected. However, when he moved, there would be a slight sound fluctuation. However, the secret technique of the Pure Jade Palace, the Invisibility Technique, could only make one invisible. If one wanted to be invisible while moving, one had to have extremely high attainment in Qinggong.
I never cared about invisibility, but for a Secret Guardian, invisibility is extremely important.
Floating in the air, they passed by a pavilion on a suspended platform that stood in the mountains. The entire building was in the shape of a moon, and the windows were all covered with ice gauze. There was a water lamp inside, so it must be extremely beautiful, right?
This was the Moon Tower, right? I hesitated for a moment, then walked up the stone steps. This building really had a personality.
Yue Lou was a high-class restaurant. It was afternoon now, so there were not many people eating in the building. The interior design was extremely comfortable, with a soft yellow color as the main color. Every table and chair had a white fluffy cushion that looked very soft.
"Sir. Would you like to dine in the lobby or in the private room? Is it also the tip?" The pretty waiter was very idle. He immediately greeted the guests and asked.
I pursed my lips and didn't want to speak, so I flashed straight to the private room on the second floor and entered. "Huh?" I lowered my head and heard a question from the front. I looked up in surprise and saw a man wearing a blue robe with cloud patterns looking at me with raised eyebrows. There was a hint of interest and doubt in his eyes.
It turned out that he had come to the wrong door. Is this the consequence of not wanting to speak? I looked at his elegant face and walked out of the compartment with a frown.
Damn it, why is Suying so slow? You made me come to the wrong door, so embarrassing. Just as I was dissatisfied, a young man flashed in front of me and called out,"Palace Master. I frowned and said,"Just call me Xiao Xi outside."
He looked up at me in surprise and then calmly replied,"Yes." "Oh right, let's find a private room to rest." I calmly looked at his slightly red face and used the voice transmission spell to say. "Yes... Little... Xi..." He awkwardly replied to me, then led me to the deepest private room in the corridor with a red face.
Hehe, Suying is actually quite cute. It was just that the call reminded me of the person with a smile as bright as the sun who called me warmly and playfully with a clear voice,"Little Xi!”
Shaking his head, he shook off those thoughts. I sat on the chaise longue on the balcony of the private room and poured a cup of Biyue wine from my favorite white jade cup. I brought it to my lips and drank it. Hmm, this wine has a refreshing feeling. It should have been added with white jade orchid juice.
Oh, that suits me. I turned my head to Su Ying who was leaning against the door."How's the investigation?"”"Yes. The Mirror City Lord was called Lou Jingyue. Although Lou Jingyue was a woman, she loved Mu Rongli very much. As for the gap between the rich and the poor that Xiao Xi was confused about, it was caused by her greed. It was also said that she kept male pets in the residence. Xiao Xi, according to the report, tonight's Moon Appreciation Festival, according to the rules, the city lord will take out the Heaven Mirror to let the people see its beauty. Is Xiao Xi going?"
Listening to the clean voice telling the truth, my brows furrowed deeper and deeper. This City Lord was too arrogant. But what if she was crippled? Who would be the City Lord? It was said that the common people only respected those who could use the Heavenly Mirror other than those who inherited the position of the City Lord. How to…Find someone who could use the Heavenly Mirror?
"Yes. Shadow. Have you found the Heavenly Mirror? I asked as I filled another glass.
"Yes. I accidentally saw some information about the Heavenly Mirror. It was said that the first Lord of Mirror City obtained the Heavenly Mirror from an expert. And this Heavenly Mirror was filled with spiritual energy. It could not be used by anyone other than the person it recognized. Is Xiao Xi looking for someone to replace the City Lord?”
He looked at me in confusion. I awkwardly looked away and didn't answer.
uh... Use the Heavenly Mirror? Can you use a trick? I thought for a moment and coldly said,"Take me to the Heavenly Mirror."
"Yes, sir."
