Chapter Thirty-Seven: Stories in the play, life outside the play

After raising incense in the Dragon Star Map, it was silent in front of the spirit for a long time.

After so many years, she has long forgotten what kind of mood it is to pay tribute.

It turns out that there are stories in the play, and there are life outside the play.

A spoon of loess is filled with hatred before his lifetime, and a tombstone records the name after his lifetime.

Yes? No?

They all follow the river eastward, and the prosperity of the world remains the same.

"Star Map." Zhongli whispered beside him: "Have you forgotten what my father said? One day, the universe will be turned around and the sun and the moon will be reshaped."

The eyelids of the Dragon Star Map drooped, "I understand. It's just... I suddenly felt a little sad."

Zhongli stretched out his big palm towards her, and she slowly placed her hand on his warm and powerful palm. He slowly closed his five fingers, and a gentle smile appeared on his cold face, "Let's go, it's important to investigate the case."

The Dragon Star Map nodded happily.

Hongxiu sorted out the relics for the second wife in the west wing room. Because no servant dared to come in this room because of the death of someone. Hongxiu, as the second wife's personal maid, should have taken on this responsibility.

However, it's just right for them to talk.

Zhongli was guarding the door, looking at the movements of the people around him, and Long Xingtu analyzed the case with Zhong Chu in the inner room.

Long Xingtu asked: "Have you discovered anything?"

"Not yet. But there is one thing that I feel very strange. As soon as I returned to my house after dressing up as Hongxiu, the eldest lady was invited to the East Courtyard by the eldest lady. The eldest lady carefully interrogated everything I had experienced in the yamen, including what I answered every time I was tried." Zhong Chu suppressed his voice, and became more and more excited as he spoke. "Fortunately, I was smart and asked Zhang Shuban to memorize all the interrogation records, otherwise it would be troublesome."

Long Xingtu frowned, "Did you mention the bronze mirror?"

"No. But the eldest lady said something, I haven't figured it out yet. She said that there is no birth in her life, and she only blames the suffering of Buddhism." Zhong Chu flashed his eyes and looked eager, "What does this mean?"

Long Xingtu thought and said, "Buddhist saying that there are eight sufferings in life: birth, old age, illness, death, love and separation, long-lasting resentment, unrequited seeking, and the five yin are prosperous. I wonder if the eldest lady is just sighing and pitying for the second lady, or does it have another profound meaning?"

"I can't even guess it, so I can't figure it out." Zhong Chu shrugged and gave up directly.

Long Xingtu pondered for a while and said, "Achu, instead of waiting passively, we might as well take the initiative in another way."

After the two whispered, Zhong Chu took the lead in leaving the door.

The eldest lady was discussing the funeral with the housekeeper tomorrow, but saw Hongxiu running in panic, as if she was afraid of seeing it. She looked around and said anxiously: "Oh, Mrs. Long said that there is a ghost in the bronze mirror. Our house is not clean and easy to attract souls! Be careful tonight, I am afraid that the second lady will die with her eyes and will turn into a ghost and come back to take revenge!"

"What...what?" The eldest lady was obviously shocked, then quickly looked at the butler and blurted out: "It's just a special mirror, how can there be ghosts?"

The housekeeper's eyes changed drastically, but he quickly calmed down, "Madam, don't be anxious, the sayings of ghosts and gods are just superstitions, and there will be no problem." After speaking, he ordered Hongxiu, "You go down. Don't be surprised anymore. No matter what Master Long asked, do you understand?"

Hongxiu lowered her head and replied obediently: "Yes, I have recorded it."

Zhong Chu returned soon and explained the test process carefully.

Long Xingtu raised his eyebrows, and a cold light burst out from his eyes, "As expected, both the eldest lady and the butler knew the secret of the bronze mirror!"
