Standing in front of the ancient conversion field.
Lin Dong noticed that this place looked like a graveyard no matter how he looked at it.
A spirit of a cross saw Lin Dong and enthusiastically welcomed him: "Welcome, dead man. Do you want to become a living person? I have a spot here. As long as you give up your rotting body and free yourself, you can become a living person that exists forever! "
"Exists forever? Does that mean I have to adhere to the laws of this world to exist?" Lin Dong asked.
"You are a dead man that will rot in a few decades. It is normal for you to doubt eternity, because you do not understand its true meaning" Although Lin Dong was doubtful, the spirit of the cross was still sincere: "Dead people are afraid of losing themselves, because you are born with this fear. When you are truly free and become a living person, you will fully understand"
"Perhaps you're right, but I still want to maintain my current state of life for now." Lin Dong tactfully declined the other's good intentions.
"I've seen more than one stubborn dead man. Don't worry, I can wait. When the day comes that you've rotted away, or when you've changed your mind, please come and find me!" The cross was very patient. It could wait for Lin Dong to change his mind.
"I want to leave this world now, do you have a way?" Lin Dong asked.
"You should not have stayed in this world in the first place, dead people should stay in your world" the cross thought for a bit, then suggested: "Perhaps you can find a ferryman"
"A ferryman?" Lin Dong was surprised.
"Yes, there is a person who is very willing to deal with the dead, called a ferryman" the cross pointed Lin Dong in a direction.
Lin Dong retreated in the opposite direction to his destination.
He found that the ferryman was a broken sampan.
There was even a hole in the bottom of the sampan.
Quite a lot of water had entered.
Fortunately.
It barely floated on the surface of the water, not sinking.
"Dead man, do you want to become a living person, or return to the world of the dead?" The ferryman was also a spirit, its attitude was quite arrogant: "If you want my help, you must pay!"
"What is money?" Lin Dong pretended not to know what money was.
"How unlucky! How did you get to where you are now? You don't even know what money is. Are you really a dead man? "The ferryman was very angry.
"Ever since I was young, I've been served by a large group of servants. I've never lacked food or clothing. Every day, I can eat whatever I want and have whatever I want. My life is extremely comfortable, so I've never seen money!" Lin Dong shook his head, indicating that he had no idea what money was.
The ferryman became even angrier. "This is too much. Now that the dead are living so comfortably, who would want to be free and go back to being a living person? I think the laws of the world need to make some changes. Otherwise, there will be more and more dead people and fewer and fewer living people. The dead are born to suffer, to be tortured by diseases, to be attacked by all kinds of malice from the laws of the world, to be deprived of food and clothing, to be separated from their flesh and blood, to be in extreme pain every day, to wash their faces with tears. Only such a dead will want to free themselves and return to the world of the living! "
"In the past, it was just like what you said. There were endless natural and man-made disasters, all kinds of diseases and plagues. However, with the development of civilization, life has become very comfortable in some areas with stable security and a higher degree of civilization." Lin Dong nodded with certainty.
"If this continues, there will be more and more dead people and fewer and fewer living people. The whole world will become very distorted!" The ferryman had a compassionate look on his face.
"That won't happen. Because life is too comfortable, very few people are willing to have children." Lin Dong indicated that no one in the modern world was willing to have children.
"Really?" The ferryman was very shocked.
"Yes, raising children is very hard. People are usually willing to live with two people." Lin Dong nodded.
"Humans are too selfish. How can they be like this!" The ferryman shook his head and sighed. "Relying on selfishness to achieve balance between the two worlds. It seems that the world on your side is almost hopeless!"
"There shouldn't be any problems in the short term. After all, there are too many people." Lin Dong did not think too much about the long term for now.
"You dead people can only stay fresh for a few decades. When the time is up, you will rot. I don't think it will be difficult for you to collapse!" The ferryman thought about it. "It seems that it is not possible to collect money from you. If you want me to send you away, I can, but you have to pass a test!"
"What test?" Lin Dong asked curiously.
"Stand on my boat. The sinful people will sink into the river. Only the kind dead can reach the other side. You don't have the money to take the boat. I can't make an exception for you." The ferryman gestured for Lin Dong to stand in the most dilapidated cabin of the sampan. Then, he glanced at him and was a little surprised. "That doesn't make sense. You enjoy yourself every day without putting in any effort. You should be sinful … You can stand on this dilapidated boat. The water of disaster did not even reach your feet. This is unbelievable. Is eating, drinking, and enjoying yourself your whole life a good thing?"
"I don't know either." Lin Dong expressed that he did not know what was going on.
"Wait." The ferryman suddenly stopped paddling.
It was thinking with some distress.
After a long time.
Then, it exclaimed, "I think I understand what is going on! Damn it, you are a poor man who has suffered all the hardships of the world! You lied to me. You have no money on you, and there is nothing that I can use! A dead person who enjoys life every day without working can not have a soul like you! "
It angrily waved its paddle, creating a huge whirlpool on the river. "Get out of here. A poor man like you should stay in the world and suffer!"
A huge gravitational force.
It sucked Lin Dong into the whirlpool.
The ferryman was still angry. "What a waste of my time!"
Lin Dong realized.
He still had not returned to the entrance of the secret realm.
What appeared in front of him was another strange world. The Mirror World.
Here.
There were countless mirrors.
Countless people stood in front of the mirrors and looked at themselves.
They did not know that their real bodies had died long ago. They still maintained various habits from when they were alive.
In Lin Dong's eyes, the mirrors reflected their skeletons or rotting corpses. But these people who had been dead for who knows how long were applying makeup to their faces, trying to make themselves look good. Some corpses who loved to look good not only injected various drugs into their faces that had lost elasticity, but also performed various operations on their bodies, thinking that they could maintain their most beautiful appearance.
A mirror descended from the sky, landing in front of Lin Dong. It emitted an extremely seductive thought wave: "There are no naturally ugly people in this world, only lazy people. Put on some makeup, you will soon find that you can be a hundred times more beautiful than you are now!"
Lin Dong peeked into the mirror.
He found that the person inside was both familiar and unfamiliar, as if it wasn't him.
He took a closer look.
A skull was grinning at him.
Lin Dong wasn't scared at all. Instead, he made all kinds of faces in the mirror. The skull inside mechanically copied the same movements.
After playing for a long time.
Lin Dong reluctantly withdrew his mind from the mirror and looked at the various small objects floating in front of the mirror.
Various cosmetics were floating in front of the mirror.
As long as Lin Dong stretched out his hand.
He could use it.
Lin Dong shrugged his shoulders: "I think that if everyone in the world is so beautiful, there would be no ugly people! Red flowers still need green leaves to set off. I have decided to sacrifice myself and use the green leaves to set off everyone's beauty! "
"The ugliest person in the world will die!" The mirror emitted a terrifying thought wave.
"I think I'm quite safe." Lin Dong touched his face.
"…" The mirror was completely speechless.
The skull in the mirror.
Suddenly reached out.
Grabbed towards Lin Dong.
Lin Dong didn't wait for it to grab him. Instead, he reached out and pulled it out of the mirror: "How about we swap places? I saw that you were having fun inside!"
"Who are you?" The skull suddenly spoke.
"I think I'm an intruder like you. The only difference is that you're dead and I'm still alive!" Lin Dong replied with a smile.
"Don't be happy too early. You're alive now, but I believe you won't live for long! I've been here for a thousand years, but I still ended up like this. How long do you think you can last? " The skull sneered: "If you're willing to cooperate with me, I might spare your life!"
"No, I don't want to cooperate with you!" Lin Dong shook his head and waved his hand.
"Why?" The skull felt strange.
"Because you're stupid!" Lin Dong patiently explained: "An idiot like you who died in a mirror world that can be easily cleared, if I cooperate with you, wouldn't my IQ be dragged down by you?"
"I've seen too many arrogant newcomers. Look, what have they become now?" The skull pointed at the dead people who were busy putting on makeup.
"They're just illusions. The whole world is a mirror. You were the first to come in. Because you foolishly killed yourself, you became a psychopath and created a large group of people to accompany you here." Lin Dong smiled at the skull: "Senior, actually, if you weren't so anxious to reveal a fatal flaw, then I might not have been able to find the truth of this world so quickly."
"Me?" The skull didn't believe it at all. It used its finger bones to point at its skull: "I revealed a flaw?"
"Yes." Lin Dong nodded.
"When did I reveal a flaw?" The skeleton shrugged its shoulders. "I don't think I've revealed any flaws until now. Do you think you can scare me like this?"
"Senior, when did you reveal a flaw? I won't tell you. Sometimes, when the truth is told, life will become very boring, so I decided to leave this suspense for you to slowly savor in the endless years to come!" Lin Dong waved at the skull and said goodbye with a bright smile: "I'm very happy to meet you today. If it weren't for your stupidity, I really wouldn't have broken through this mirror world so quickly!"
The skull reached out to stop him.
But Lin Dong completely ignored its actions.
He took a step and walked into the mirror like he was walking into a door.
Then.
He turned his head and waved at the skull: "Senior, let me give you a piece of advice! In the future, if you see a mirror or something similar to a mirror, don't easily break it. Otherwise, you'll break your only way out … Uh, I forgot, senior, you can't leave anymore. Then please pass on my words to the next descendant who mistakenly enters here! "
"Take me away, I can give you anything in the world!" The skull suddenly became anxious and screamed awkwardly.
"Senior, you must be joking. If you were that capable, would you still be trapped here? You don't even have the ability to glue together a mirror that you broke and reconstruct the exit … "Lin Dong seemed to realize that he had said something wrong, so he hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand.
"Gluing a mirror together can reconstruct the exit?" The skull was stunned.
"If it's completely glued together, it should be possible." Lin Dong suddenly took out a shining mirror fragment. "If one piece is missing …"
"Return it to me. I … I can give you a sect! I am the sect master of the Virtuous Flower Sect. I can pass on the position of sect master and all the secret cultivation techniques of the sect to you. As for the Dharma treasures, I have three heaven-grade Dharma treasures. You can choose any one of them! " The skull was so anxious that it jumped up and down. As long as Lin Dong was willing, it would immediately offer it to him.
"What nonsense are you talking about, Senior? If you were the sect master, how could you fall to your knees in a mirror world like this?" Lin Dong expressed his disbelief. He spread his hands and said, "Even if I naively believe you, the entire Virtuous Flower Sect will not agree to let you be the sect master! Of course, that's not important. What's important is that you relied on some kind of life-taking Dharma treasure to survive until now. How could you give it to me? Senior, you can lie, but you can't tell a joke that you can't even fool yourself! "
"As long as you take me away, I can give you the Corpse Drawing Brush. Really, I swear!" The skull swore a deadly oath that could destroy both its body and spirit.
"Why don't you find someone who believes you?" Lin Dong suddenly extended his hand, as if he was trying to turn something.
Then …
The skull realized that the mirror had turned around.
The back of the mirror was facing itself. It realized that no matter which direction it turned, the back of the mirror was always facing itself.
At that moment, Lin Dong stuck his head out from the other side of the mirror. "Senior, you have been unable to break through in the mirror world. Have you ever thought of a possibility? That you have long been controlled by your Dharma treasure, the Corpse Drawing Brush? That your current form is the form of existence that it has drawn? Also, in the Corpse Makeup world, not only do you want to take revenge on the world, but it also has a reason to strengthen itself. I'm sorry, I spoke out of turn. Perhaps you like this way of getting along. After all, under the control of the Corpse Drawing Brush, you can always exist in the form of a skull. I shouldn't have exposed it … I won't say anymore. Goodbye! "
Lin Dong waved his hand and retracted his head.
After that …
There was no more movement. It was as if it had never appeared in this world.
The skull pinched a hand seal with both hands and wanted to conjure the Corpse Drawing Brush. Unexpectedly, there was no response when it summoned it.
It suddenly turned its head in shock and saw a dark green brush flash in front of it. A dark green shadow floated up from it. "Since you know the truth, there's no need for you to exist anymore!"
The dark green brush drew heavily before the skull could react.
The skull shattered and fell to the ground.
Before it was annihilated, the skull's consciousness saw that its body from when it was alive appeared vividly, just like when it was at its peak. The dark green brush slowly injected its spirit sense into its body. It had planned everything and succeeded in taking over the body, replacing its original owner. If one only looked at the surface, then no one would know that this powerful cultivator was actually a poor worm that was taken over by his own treasure!
After leaving the mirror world, Lin Dong.
He realized.
He had entered a whole new world.
There was no sky or earth in this world. In the endless void, there was only one person standing opposite him.
After taking a closer look, Lin Dong was surprised to find that the person standing opposite him was himself.
Height, physique, appearance, and temperament were all the same.
The only difference was.
It was the "Lin Dong" opposite him. He was wearing a strange pointer-like treasure on his neck. Other than that, there was no other difference!
Lin Dong looked at it and asked with a bit of confusion: "Uh, excuse me, are you me?"
