The moonlight is like water, quietly sprinkled on every piece of green tiles in the ancient village. In the small courtyard at the end of the village, 18-year-old Linglong is standing outside a simple shower room, holding a yellowed towel in her hand, hesitating to enter this slightly gloomy hut. Tonight's wind seemed to be exceptionally cold, with a hint of indescribable weirdness, which made Linglong's doubts a little heavier.
At the moment when she was about to step into the shower room, Linglong suddenly felt a strange gaze, as if someone was hiding in the dark, secretly watching her. She jerked her back, only to see that it was pitch black, and there was no movement except for the leaves gently swaying in the night wind. However, the feeling of being watched lingers with me.
Linglong's heart tightened, and she quickened the pace of her feet, and decided to make a quick decision and return to the house after taking a cold shower as soon as possible. In the shower room, the sound of water droplets falling to the ground can be heard clearly, which is particularly abrupt in this silent night. Linglong tried not to think about those terrifying stories, but the ghosts that the villagers had passed on involuntarily came to mind.
At this moment, a low and strange voice suddenly sounded in the night sky, like the hiss of some kind of animal, but with a bit of human cry. Linglong's body stiffened instantly, and she subconsciously wanted to find the voice of the **, but she saw the wooden door of the shower room slowly closing, as if there was an invisible hand manipulating everything.
Fear came over her like a tidal wave, and Linglong wanted to cry out, but found that her throat seemed to be blocked by something, and she couldn't make a sound. She looked around, trying to find a glimmer of hope of escape, but everything around her seemed to be controlled by the mysterious force, and even the air became heavy.
Linglong's heart was beating faster and faster, and she knew she had to find a way to escape. However, at this moment, the strange voice sounded again, and it became clearer, as if whispering in her ear: "Want to escape? It's not that easy to ......”
Linglong jerked her head back, but saw nothing. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She knew that the most important thing now was to keep a clear head and find a way out of this strange shower. She scrutinized her surroundings, trying to find a clue.
Suddenly, her eyes fell on a dilapidated wooden box in the corner of the shower room. The wooden box was covered in dust, and it looked like no one had touched it in a long time. Linglong's heart moved, she remembered that when she was a child, she heard her grandmother say that this wooden box contained a treasure that could ward off evil spirits and ghosts. Although she didn't know if this statement was true, now she had no choice but to pin her hopes on this mysterious wooden box.
Linglong carefully opened the wooden box, only to see a bronze mirror lying inside. Although the mirror is old, it is still light. Linglong picked up the mirror and looked around, but found nothing unusual. Her heart sank, could there be nothing special about this mirror?
However, just as she was about to give up, a blurred figure suddenly appeared in the mirror. Linglong took a closer look and found that it was the shadow of a mule! She was shocked, could this be the mule spirit in the mouths of the villagers?
Linglong clutched the mirror tightly, knowing that this might be her only hope. She took a deep breath and said loudly to the shadow of the mule in the mirror, "I don't care what kind of ghost you are, if you dare to hurt me, I will definitely not let you go!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the shadow of the mule in the mirror suddenly disappeared. At the same time, the door of the shower room also "creaked" and slowly opened. Linglong didn't dare to delay, and immediately rushed out of the shower room and returned to her own room.
Although she escaped from the strange shower room, the fear in Linglong's heart did not dissipate because of this. She knew that what she had just experienced was not an illusion, but a reality. Who is that mule spirit? Why is it here? All these mysteries are waiting for Linglong to solve them one by one. However, what she needs most now is a good rest and a good recovery from this horrific encounter.
Linglong lay on the bed, tossing and turning, and couldn't sleep. The strange voice and the shadow of the mule spirit kept echoing in her head. She knew that she had been involved in a strange incident beyond ordinary people's comprehension. However, she also knew that she couldn't just sit still.
The first rays of dawn on the horizon have not yet appeared, but Linglong has already woken up early. She sat on the edge of the bed, thinking about what had happened last night, and the fear in her heart still lingered. She knew she had to act quickly, or the mule spirit might reappear.
Linglong decided to start with the bronze mirror first. She went to the shower room, carefully opened the wooden box, and took out the mirror. She looked closely in the mirror, trying to find some clues. However, the mirror doesn't seem to have anything special other than being able to reflect her figure.
Linglong was not willing to give up like this, and she decided to go to the village to find some older villagers and ask for information about the mirror. She believed that since the mirror could appear in this wooden box, it must have some connection to the village.
After walking around the village, Linglong finally found a grandmother who was nearly 100 years old. The old grandmother's hearing was a little deteriorating, but when she talked about the mirror, her eyes suddenly brightened. She told Linglong that the mirror was the guardian deity of the village, able to ward off evil spirits and protect the safety of the villagers. However, she also warns that the mirror is also dangerous, and if used incorrectly, it is likely to cause more trouble.
After listening to the old grandmother's story, Linglong was both excited and apprehensive. She knew she had found the key to uncovering the truth, but at the same time, she realized that she had to tread carefully and not act recklessly.
That night, Linglong came to the shower room again and brought the mirror with her. She nervously waited for the strange voice to reappear, but the night was uneventful. Linglong was overjoyed, could it be that the mule spirit had already left?
However, the moment she let her guard down, that low and strange voice rang out again. Linglong immediately clenched the mirror and looked in the direction of the sound. I saw a vague figure suddenly appear in the mirror, it was the mule spirit!
Linglong's heart tightened, she knew that this time she had to face it bravely. She took a deep breath and shouted, "Mule Spirit, who are you?" Why bother here? ”
The mule spirit did not answer, but let out a terrible hiss. Linglong held the mirror tightly, silently reciting the incantation that the old grandmother had told her. Suddenly, a dazzling light shot out of the mirror, shooting straight at the mule spirit.
The mule spirit let out a scream, and the figure disappeared from the mirror in an instant. Linglong was overjoyed, did she really succeed? However, at this moment, the door of the shower room suddenly shook violently, as if something was trying to break in.
Linglong's heart tightened, she knew that this mule spirit was not so easy to drive away. She held the mirror tightly and was ready for battle. Suddenly, the door was slammed open, and a huge mule figure rushed in. Its eyes are ** and cunning, as if it wants to devour Linglong alive.
Linglong's heart sank, but she didn't back down. She held up the mirror and looked at the mule. This time, however, the mule spirit seemed to have taken precautions, and it let out a roar of rage and lunged towards Linglong.
Linglong dodged and narrowly avoided the attack of the mule spirit. She knew that she couldn't just be beaten passively, and that she had to find a way to find the weakness of the mule spirit. She watched the mule elf's movements closely, and found that its gaze could not be taken away from the mirror. Could it be that this mirror is its weakness?
Linglong's heart moved, and she decided to test it. She deliberately threw the mirror on the ground, and sure enough, the mule spirit immediately rushed to the mirror and looked down to sniff. The moment it lowered its head, Linglong took the opportunity to rush forward and smash the mirror at the mule spirit with all her strength.
There was a loud bang, the mirror shattered, and the mule spirit let out a scream and fell to the ground without moving. Linglong gasped, she knew that she had finally succeeded.
With the disappearance of the mule spirit, the whole village seems to have returned to its former tranquility. However, for Linglong, her life has changed dramatically. She is no longer the simple and ignorant girl, but a warrior who bravely faces strange events.
The villagers came to Linglong's house and thanked her for driving out the troublesome mule spirit. Marveling at the courage and wisdom of Linglong, they also regarded the broken mirror as a sacred object and re-enshrined it in the village temple.
However, Linglong knows that all this is only a temporary calm. She knows that there are still many unknown things waiting for her to explore in this world. She decided to continue her studies and enhance her knowledge and abilities in order to better protect herself and those around her.
Time passes like flowing water, and Linglong gradually grows up**. She became an accomplished explorer, traveling to every corner of the world in search of mysteries. Her name spread all over the world and became a hero in the hearts of countless people.
However, no matter where she goes, she always has the former small village and the mysterious mirror in her heart. She knew that it was the starting point of her growth and her eternal home.
One day, many years later, Linglong returned to that village again. She stood in front of the temple, staring at the side.
The re-inlaid bronze mirror is full of emotion in my heart. The years have not left too many traces on the mirror, and it still retains its former glory.
Linglong took a deep breath and smiled slightly at the mirror. She knows that no matter what difficulties and challenges she will encounter in the future, she will face them bravely, because she will always have that courage and determination in her heart.
She turned away, her steps light but firm, everything seemed to tell a story: the brave maiden, the duel with the mule spirit, and the secret behind the mirror.
This is a legend, a legend of courage, wisdom and steadfastness, but also of love and responsibility. Linglong knows that no matter what happens in the future, she will always remember this experience, because it has become the most beautiful page in her life.
She stared at the bronze mirror, her heart full of emotion and hope. She knows that no matter what the future holds, she will always maintain that courage and determination, continue to move forward, and explore unknown miracles.
The end of the story may not be the end, but a new beginning. Linglong embarks on a new journey, and her adventure has just begun......
