When Zheng Wan regained consciousness, she found herself lying on a bright red bed.
The red dragon and phoenix quilt, the red dragon and phoenix mantle, and even the buckwheat pillow are all red, inevitably embroidered with a pair of playful mandarin ducks.
She lifted the quilt and sat up. Looking to the right, she saw a pair of dragon and phoenix candles with thick arms. The body of the candle was half burnt, and the words "Happy marriage, early birth to a son" were engraved on it. There are also a pair of agate copper cups, two pairs of chopsticks, and several plates of melon and fruit cakes in front of the candles.
"you're awake?"
A voice came from the slanting thorns, without pretense, the voice was like a gurgling brook, clear and melodious. Zheng Wan subconsciously looked to the left, and Cui Wang was standing beside an eight-eared and four-legged incense burner in the corner, picking up a little incense ash for a closer look.
Looking at that face from the side, it really looks like steep mountains and strange peaks. From the ear bone to the eyebrow peak, and then from the eyebrow peak to the bridge of the nose, there is a sense of coldness and sharpness.
Under the scarlet robe, there are incense ashes in both hands, and the finger bones are like jade carvings, there is no beauty in it, and this kind of beauty is not feminine at all.
... really gave birth to a good appearance.
Zheng Wan thought sourly, and in time recalled the drama she was performing before, opened her mouth, her voice was low and dazed:
"National, National Teacher, where is this place? Why are you and I... Mo, could it be me, I and you... married?"
She asked Ai Ai longingly, and she stammered, looking at Cui Wang with timidity, longing, and a hint of disbelief. Zheng Wan stretched out her hand and pulled up the quilt a little, only revealing a pair of eyes.
Cui Wang looked up at her, without any emotion in his eyes:
"In a moment's time, there is no marriage."
Zheng Wan: "... oh."
Of course she knows that this place is a place for an instant, and there are small worlds hidden outside the big world.
There are good and bad, good and bad.
For the young sword master to practice, it is naturally excellent, good.
This is also the reason why Zheng Wan procrastinated on the stone boat for so long, and even at the last moment she had no shame in throwing herself at her - she wanted to come to this short-lived place to share a piece of the pie, even if she didn't get the chance, she could be alone with Cui Wanglai, It is also good to deepen the relationship.
But Zheng Wan clearly remembers that Cui Wang's landing point in the book is a vast forest, why does it look like a new house here...
Could it be that the two people entered this realm at the same time, which resulted in different ending points
"Master National Teacher—"
Zheng Wan seemed to have brewed courage, and lifted the quilt to reveal a pair of snowy feet, all ten nails were painted with bright red Dan Kou, and disappeared into the red silk embroidered shoes on the pedals for a moment, "How do I wait to get from here to here?" Go out in a short while?"
"Aren't we on the stone boat?"
"I, will I die?"
"I don't want to die."
"National, National Teacher, can I still see Aye, Aniang and the others?"
As he spoke, there was water in his eyes.
"Why, why did you and I both change to red? Was the wedding dress on me also changed by the State Teacher?"
Cui Wangyuan didn't want to talk to her, he straightened up after hearing this, looked at her with frown for a while, and said:
"Don't be noisy."
Unexpectedly, this sound made Zheng Wan hiccup, covering her mouth and not daring to make a sound, only the teardrops in her eyes that she was holding back were rolling down:
"I, I can't help it."
Cui Wang emphasized with a blank face:
"When my mother was alive, she never shed tears."
"You, your mother is your mother, I, I am me..."
Zheng Wan's tears flowed from a small stream into a big river.
She still remembers that the member of the peony class said that it is best not to interrupt in the middle of singing, even if the officials booed, you have to bite the bullet and continue, otherwise, others will make mistakes.
Cui Wang finally sighed:
"How can I stop crying?"
Zheng Wan carefully looked at his sleeves, as if addicted to his sleeves, stretched out a small white hand to pinch it tentatively, seeing that he hadn't broken free, she immediately tightened it, smiling through tears:
"That's good."
If the distance between strangers is half a zhang, she has already made a big breakthrough at this time. Just wait for him to get used to her contact before trying other things.
Zheng Wan thought very well, but who knew that Cui Wang was different from those stunned youths who obeyed her in the past, so she flicked out a piece of white silk from her sleeve, connecting his wrist with hers:
"Stay one foot away from me."
Cui Wang's complexion let Zheng Wan know that it can't be done again. Otherwise, she will be like the daughter of the master of the Taiji Sect in Xuancang Realm, and she will never be able to get close to her again.
She obediently moved away:
"Have you found a way out, Mr. National Teacher?"
Zheng Wan pushed the door and the window again, but remained motionless.
"If you take a sword, can it break through?"
Cui Wang pursed his lips, the corners of his lips stretched into a straight line:
"Suppressing Yuanli here, I am no different from you."
... In other words, he is now a mortal like her
Zheng Wan seriously considered the possibility of stabbing Cui Wang to death and inheriting his relics to build the Dao at this time, but found helplessly that this road was blocked from the very beginning.
She has no weapons, and she has no skills. She has practiced three-legged cat kung fu in the school, so she may not even be able to get close to her. Once her murderous intention is exposed, she will be immediately cut by the sword by Cui Wang, who has excellent five senses——
Not to mention his body, which has long been hard to hurt due to his cultivation.
Cui Wang didn't notice anything unusual in the incense ashes, got up and went to the Bogu shelf on the other side.
Zheng Wan also closed her mouth, and looked at the objects in the room along the wall.
Since there is no energy, we can only think of other methods, unless it is extremely dangerous, there is always a way to crack it, and after cracking it, we can often get some rare treasures——
This is one of the conclusions she came to from reading the book.
Along the window, there are screens, brush washers, shelves, and inkstones on the tables. The owner seems to have written half of the words, and then went out, followed by the fireplace, a floor-standing incense burner, dressing table, dowry, comb, and powder. On the wall of the gate hangs a picture of a golden and jade marriage, in which a couple in wedding clothes is paying their respects.
On the other side, there is a huanghuali babu bed, a Bogu shelf, and a sapphire thin-necked pot-bellied vase on the Bogu shelf. The peach blossoms in the bottle have withered. On the south wall is a pair of Daxi characters, and against the wall is a floor-to-ceiling Eight Immortals table, with dragons and phoenixes facing candles on the table...
Zheng Wan frowned:
"I always feel that something is wrong..."
Looking into Cui Wang's dark eyes, she felt that there was a trace of expectation hidden in it:
"What's wrong?"
"Oh, there it is!"
Zheng Wan tapped her brows with her knuckles and pointed to the dressing table, "There is no mirror!"
This is obviously a new house, prepared for the hostess and hostess, with a book desk with red sleeves to add fragrance, and a dressing table with makeup and powder, but there is no mirror!
Looking at the decoration, it is impossible to afford it if it is improper, it can only be said that it is intentional!
Which woman would lack such an important thing as a mirror when dressing up in front of the mirror!
Cui Wang frowned tightly: "Why do you need a mirror?"
"How do you dress up without a mirror?" Zheng Wan opened all the dowry drawers, not even a small copper rake mirror, "Gold hairpins and jade ornaments, gouache rouge, black brushes and tinsel, everything is available, why is there only one missing?" Mirror?—That's not right!"
Cui Wang didn't make a sound.
He followed to the dressing table, tapped the dowry with his fingers, listened to the movement for a while, and finally didn't know what to do. With a "click", a compartment popped out from the last wooden drawer, and he reached in. As soon as he touched it, he took out a raking mirror, the size of a palm, with a circle of pampas grass reeds engraved on the handle.
"Hey, so beautiful!"
Zheng Wan leaned over, and a lock of hair on her forehead floated up with her movements, and fell onto Cui Wang's wrist holding the rake mirror with the fragrance of magnolia.
He pursed his lips and glanced at her, and said nothing as if he was patient. He just turned the mirror to her and asked:
"See what?"
Zheng Wan suddenly opened his eyes wide.
Even though the book described everything, she was still shocked when she saw such a fairy thing for the first time in reality. On the small mirror, which was no bigger than a palm, there was a silent...
story
As if she was peeping at other people's privacy through this mirror, she said in a daze:
"Worship, get married."
The man and woman in the mirror had reached the third ceremony, and the husband and wife bowed to each other. After getting up, Zheng Wan realized that the man and woman in the mirror were actually her and Cui Wang!
With the red wedding dress and the red python robe, the little lady and the gentleman look exactly like her and Cui Wang.
"Here... it's marriage, I'm married to you."
Zheng Wan suddenly raised her head, raised her hand and grabbed his bright red python robe sleeve: "How can this be good?"
Looking up, she found that Cui Wang was fascinated by the picture of Jin Yu Liang Yuan on the wall. When Zheng Wan saw it, she was also shocked: the bride and groom, whose faces were difficult to distinguish just now, had straightened up, and used the picture with her and Cui Wang. Wang smiled at the two of them with the same face!
Zheng Wan shuddered, and subconsciously hid behind Cui Wang.
"C-Could it be the insanity technique, you and I, in fact, died a long time ago?"
Even though she had thought all the best before, seeing such a strange situation, Zheng Wan still couldn't help feeling scalp numb and creepy.
"Not dead."
Cui Wang observed carefully, and finally found the small characters on the mirror handle, which are easily overlooked, "puppet mirror".
Zheng Wan looked at him and frowned tightly again:
"It's just more troublesome."
"what for?"
"Puppet Mirror means 'Mirror of Puppets'." Cui Wang is rarely willing to talk to her, "Have you ever seen a shadow puppet show?"
Zheng Wan nodded: "I have seen it."
Love to watch when I was young.
"You and I are now this puppeteer playing a role." Cui Wang put the puppet on the table with a pair of dragon and phoenix candles, "show this puppet a play."
Sure enough, the raking mirror began to put up again. Just a while ago, Zheng Wan watched herself and Cui Wang worship again.
"Bai, worship?"
Zheng Wan seemed to understand what he meant, "Do the same thing?"
"Extremely." Cui Wang seemed to be satisfied with her intelligence at this time, and nodded, "If the joss sticks are burnt out, and the obeisance is not over, you and I will stay here and really be a pair of leather men."
Only then did Zheng Wan realize with horror that when she woke up, there was still half of the candle between the dragon and the phoenix, but now it was half short again.
"Don't worry, what happened here is just an expedient measure. After I go out, I will keep my mouth shut and never tell anyone." Cui Wang seemed troubled.
Unexpectedly, Zheng Wan didn't hesitate at all, and quickly stood at the other end of Fengzhu, urging him repeatedly: "Hurry up, don't let the incense burn out."
Cui Wang was stunned, and stood over to Longzhu, both of them wore wedding dresses, even the red silk was spared, the white silk was reflected by the candlelight, it looked like it was stained with blood.
When the rake mirror started to play again, the two of them were like shadow puppeteers, their bodies overlapped, and they started synchronously.
I pray to heaven and earth.
Second worship.
Husband and wife worship each other.
When they straightened up together, Zheng Wan realized that because the dragon and the phoenix were not far from each other, she and Cui Wang were almost face to face, they were next to each other, smelling each other, and the fragrance of orchid grass lingered by her side, she shook her head. .
The candlelight reflected his face, his eyes seemed to be stained with fire, and the frost and snow formed by the clear condensation were also melted away.
Zheng Wan subconsciously stood on tiptoe and stuck a sticker on his mouth.
Aye said, you have to be bold, careful, and dark-faced.
"What are you doing?"
Cui Wang remained motionless, as if thousands of years of ice and snow had accumulated under his eyelids, as if the softness just now was an illusion, he did not avoid or push him, as if the meeting of these two lips was insignificant.
Zheng Wan blushed in panic:
"I, I don't know either."
After saying that, he seemed to muster up his courage, "You worshiped me, and you must be responsible for this!"
