In a quiet ancient town, there is a mysterious ancient mirror. This mirror is said to reveal the deepest secrets of the human heart, but anyone who tries to discover its mysteries has mysteriously disappeared and has not been heard from again.
One day, Li Xuan, the son of a wealthy merchant in Guzhen, found a blood letter in his secret room, which read: "The secret of the ancient mirror is hidden in the secret room, and the mystery of the remains is waiting to be revealed." Li Xuan's heart moved, and he decided to unveil this mystery.
He followed the guidance of the blood book and came to the depths of the secret room. There is the legendary ancient mirror, and there is a strange atmosphere around the mirror. Li Xuan cautiously approached the ancient mirror, and suddenly, a terrifying picture was reflected in the mirror—a skeleton of white bones, holding a blood-dripping dagger, staring at him with a cold look in his eyes.
Li Xuan was terrified and wanted to escape from the secret room, but found that the door had been blocked by a mysterious force. He knew that he had fallen into a desperate situation, and he could only bravely face this strange scene.
At this moment, an eerie voice came from the ancient mirror: "If you want to know my secrets, you must swear by blood." Li Xuan bit his finger and dripped a drop of blood on the mirror. Suddenly, the scene in the mirror became clear, and he saw all the experiences of the corpse before it was born.
It turned out that the remains were those of Guzhen's former wealthy merchant, who, out of his greed, did not hesitate to kill his cronies and seize their wealth. Eventually, his crimes were revealed, he was murdered by a group of people, and his remains were hidden in a secret room. And his resentment turned into this ancient mirror, and he continued to look for the next greedy man.
After Li Xuan saw all this, his heart was sad. He understands the price of greed and why he was drawn into this strange event. However, just as he was about to accept the punishment of fate, a golden light suddenly flashed in the ancient mirror.
After the golden light dissipated, the scene in the ancient mirror disappeared, and the door of the secret room slowly opened. Li Xuan was surprised to find that he had walked out of the secret room unharmed. He looked back and saw that the ancient mirror had been shattered into slag, as if it had never existed.
It turned out that Gu Jing's resentment had dissipated with Li Xuan's enlightenment, and he escaped because of this. This reversed ending made Li Xuan feel deeply fortunate, and also made him understand the true meaning of life - greed will only bring destruction, and only by letting go of obsession can we move towards the light.
