Mortal Mirror

Li Muzhen carried Li the Cripple into the house. He took out a large meat-filled bun and offered it to Li the Cripple, saying, "Dad, eat this. Have something to eat first."

Li the Cripple took the large bun, sniffed it under his nose, and sighed, "It really smells good. Only my son would think of this, but Dad is done for. Leave it for you to eat. It's a waste on me."

Li Muzhen couldn't help but burst into tears, "It's okay, Dad, you won't die. Hold on. I'll take you to see a doctor right away. Zhen'er has money now, Zhen'er has money!"

Li the Cripple shook his head slightly, "It's too late, Zhen'er. Dad won't make it. If you're really filial, tell me what's been on your mind before Dad breathes his last. That way, I can leave in peace."

"Dad, eat! Eat! Zhen'er has money now. Don't die, Dad. Zhen'er will buy you big meat buns to eat every day."

Li Muzhen didn't want to hear anything at the moment. He just wanted his dad to live, to live on.

Li the Cripple couldn't win against Zhen'er. He knew Zhen'er's stubbornness best. Helpless, he gently bit into the big meat bun. Instantly, his cloudy eyes lit up. "Huh, this is really delicious. This might be the best thing I've ever eaten in my life.

Zhen'er, thank you, Dad."

After eating one bun, Li the Cripple seemed to have gained some strength, but he refused to eat a second one. This Li the Cripple was a stubborn mule.

Li Muzhen wanted to persuade him, but Li the Cripple said, "Zhen'er, Dad doesn't have much time left. Let Dad finish speaking before I eat again."

Li Muzhen had no choice but to listen to his dad. He really didn't know what secret had been weighing on him for sixteen years.

Li the Cripple pointed to the ground, "Look at the table. Walk three steps to the left along the left table leg, and then start digging."

Li Muzhen was puzzled, but he listened obediently. He immediately took action. The ground inside the house had been trampled for many years and was extremely hard. Li Muzhen had to find a wooden shovel and dig hard.

Fortunately, he was strong, and he dug a hole in a few strokes.

Bang, bang. Before long, the wooden shovel hit something hard. He dug it out and saw that it was a very exquisite bronze box about a foot long.

The box was covered with mysterious patterns and a beautiful picture. It was a huge fish-dragon, opening its mouth to swallow the sun in the sky.

What a fish-dragon swallowing the sun picture, lifelike and extremely beautiful.

Li Muzhen was slightly dazed as he looked at the picture. For some reason, there was an inexplicable restlessness in his heart.

He shook his head slightly, shook off these thoughts, and took out the box, looking at Li the Cripple with a puzzled expression, "Dad, what is this? How could we have this thing in our house?"

Li the Cripple then slowly explained, "Zhen'er, this is all yours. When I found you, you were holding this box. But you were young at that time, so I naturally had to hide the box.

I was going to give it to you when you grew up, but later, your brother married a wife, and that Zhang woman was fierce, so I dared not take this thing out, for fear that she would snatch it away.

I wanted to wait until you grew up before giving you this thing, but unfortunately, your dad is dying. If I don't give you this thing now, I'm afraid there will be no chance.

Zhen'er, I have never opened this thing, but I guess the things inside must be extraordinary. When you came, you were wearing very expensive clothes, which I have kept all along.

I think you are also a child from a wealthy family, but I didn't expect you to follow me and suffer so much."

Li Muzhen heard Li the Cripple say these things for the first time. He couldn't help but look at the box. After hesitating for a moment, he still used force to open the box.

Inside the box were two things: a dragon-shaped jade pendant. The jade pendant was milky white in color, like mutton fat. What was amazing was that there were golden threads running through the jade pendant, adding a lot of nobility to it.

A divine dragon was carved on the front of the jade pendant. Upon closer inspection, the divine dragon was lifelike, as if it could fly out of the jade pendant at any time, which was amazing.

On the back of the jade pendant were four small characters, which read "Heaven and Earth True Dragon."

This thing was exquisite and makes people fondle admiringly. To be honest, Li Muzhen liked this little thing very much. He couldn't help but put the jade pendant around his neck. When the jade pendant was close to his body, he immediately felt warm all over, very comfortable.

Looking at the jade pendant below, there was a book, an extremely simple and ancient book. Perhaps because the age was too long, the pages of the book had turned yellow and looked very old.

Because he had secretly studied in the school, he knew a lot of characters.

He saw a few very beautiful characters written on the cover of the book, "Hongmeng Heaven and Earth Art."

Seeing these words, he frowned slightly. The name sounded like a martial arts secret book in the storyteller's mouth. He was immediately excited.

He opened the book and looked at it. He saw human meridian diagrams and many obscure words. Fortunately, he was born very smart and could understand them.

After reading this book, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and realized one thing, that the things recorded in this book were actually supreme immortal techniques. At this moment, his body couldn't help but tremble slightly, and he was so excited that he couldn't control himself.

He had the ability to never forget, and he quickly memorized all the things recorded in the entire book. This book was too old, and he was really afraid that it would be torn after a few flips.

After remembering the contents, he put the book back in the box, thought for a while, and buried it back again.

At this time, if he hadn't felt the warm temperature of the jade pendant, he would have thought that all of this was a dream, but who would have thought that all of this was actually true.

At this time, Li the Cripple said weakly, "Zhen'er, I have told you this secret, and I am relieved. I am dying. After I die, you should leave here.

Your brother and your sister-in-law are too vicious. I'm really afraid that you will be plotted against and lose your life in the future."

Li Muzhen heard Li the Cripple's heartfelt words, but his voice was excited, "Yes, Dad, I won't wait for the future. I will take you away now and leave those two inhuman things.

When I cultivate immortal techniques in the future, I will let you live the happiest life. Dad, believe me, I will definitely let you eat big meat buns every day in the future."

Li the Cripple was very pleased to hear these words, and finally showed a hint of happiness. He was about to speak when he heard a sharp shout outside the door.

Immediately, he saw his elder brother's wife, the strong woman, rush into the house. Behind her was his elder brother, who was being obsequious.

The woman looked at the big meat bun next to Li the Cripple, and there was infinite anger in her eyes, "Damn you, you actually stole buns behind our backs. I said I smelled the smell of meat as soon as I entered the yard.

You heartless people, did you steal my money?"

Li Muzhen was annoyed and shouted loudly, "That's what I bought with my own money. It has nothing to do with you."

The woman glared her big eyes, and the flesh on her face trembled twice with anger. She put her hands on her hips and shouted in a sharp voice, "There is no law anymore. You dare to talk back to me. Elder brother, did you see that? This is the wolf cub that your family raised."

Li the Cripple said weakly, "Don't quarrel, don't quarrel. I will leave here with Zhen'er."

"Leave? You old immortal thing, why don't you die?" The woman shouted and grabbed Li the Cripple's head and slammed it to the ground. Li Muzhen wanted to stop her but it was too late.

With a loud bang, Li the Cripple's head hit the ground. The woman was extremely strong. Li the Cripple was already very weak. This collision directly caused Li the Cripple's brains to burst and he died beyond saving.

When Li Muzhen saw this scene, his eyes suddenly turned blood red, and an infinite rage rushed from the bottom of his heart to his mind.
