The eighteenth mirror goddess died, she died before the demon mirror passed to Emily's mother, and I became the nineteenth mirror goddess. Each of the goddesses of the mirror is not allowed to marry, Emily and I are orphans, who are adopted by their respective mothers. Emily grew up with her grandmother and mother, knowing that before her grandmother died, Emily learned their mission.

Since childhood, her mother began to teach her martial arts, has told her that she is used for self-defense and told her not to let others know that she knows martial arts. Emily felt very unnecessary, after all, in this modern era, martial arts is not of much use. But in order not to let her mother be sad, Emily still obediently learns martial arts.

The right half of Emily's face is covered by the birthmark, and the left half of her face is very beautiful, if not for the birthmark on her face, she should be a girl with clear eyebrows, even if it can not be called a national beauty, but also definitely a small family. But because the birthmark on the right side of her face makes her look so ugly, so Emily often thinks it's because of the birthmark on her face that she was abandoned by her parents.

Emily grew up knowing that she was different from the norm because when she was little everyone used to call her a monster. She was afraid to go out, and even when she did, she walked with her head down. She is very eager to be with normal children, can have friends, can hold their heads up, and live. Can smile openly, can not be made fun of by anyone.

Since childhood, only her mother and grandmother were the best for her, but when she was 23 years old, her grandmother passed away. Before she died, she was kicked out, and she was worried about her grandmother. So she secretly hid at the door and eavesdropped, and when she heard that her grandmother wanted her mother to swear never to marry and to guard a mirror for the rest of her life, she was very sad. She had been envious of other girls since she was a child, and she was not allowed to get married and have children because of her birthmark, and she did not want her mother to live her life alone because of a mirror, just like her grandmother.

Emily sneaked into her mother's room while she was asleep from helping her grandmother with her affairs and stole the box her grandmother had taught her mother before she died. And left a message to her mother, who said she had to guard the demon mirror for her mother so that her mother can get married and have children, to live a normal life.

With tears in her eyes, Emily didn't know where to go, so she carried the box and headed for the mountains. Because of her low self-esteem, Emily was afraid to look in the mirror since she was a child. Now, knowing that the box contains the mirror that she hates, she still wants to carry her to the mountain. Emily tears while running, I do not know how long to run, and I do not know how far to run, Emily is tired on the ground. At this time, Emily had time to take a good look at the wooden box that put the mirror. The box is a very ancient and worn wooden box, the box and a long lock. A long lock is Emily has never seen and never seen such a strange box. The reason why the box is very peculiar is that the box looks very ordinary, but it emits a faint fragrance.

Emily wanted to know what mirror was in the box, grandmother will die before the instructions to her mother not to open the box. Emily thought she was going to die, and she wanted to know what mirror her grandmother had given up her life for over a dozen generations. Emily cried and found a big stone in the deep forest and smashed the box open, inside the box was a very old bronze mirror, the bronze mirror did not have any pattern is very simple.

Emily looked at the mirror for a long time, always feeling that this mirror is nothing special, but the mirror is covered with dust. Emily used her hand to wipe the dusty copper mirror, she saw the mirror shoot a light shot in their face, and Emily fainted in pain. Before she fainted, Emily saw the birthmark on her face in the mirror slowly shrinking.

I saw Emily's message, it was like a crazy search everywhere, and finally found the fainted Emily and the mirror with the help of the village people. I saw the birthmark that disappeared from Emily's face and the box that was smashed by Emily, as well as the bronze mirror in Emily's arms, and I had an ominous feeling in my heart.

When Emily woke up, she found herself sleeping in the deep forest, but in her bed, and her mother was beside herself with a worried face. Emily woke up and wanted to call her mother but found that she could not make a sound, Emily's mouth could only keep opening and closing, and my heart's ominous premonition finally came true.

I put the bronze mirror away, Emily took the mirror and realized that the birthmark on her face was gone, but she could no longer speak. Emily's thing the whole village has seen with their own eyes, a hundred, a hundred spread ten, spread the four directions eight neighbors know. The original cold Goddess family, suddenly like a marketplace, like a lively, everyday people come and go, incessant.

Some are to see the demon mirror, some are to see Emily, and some want to marry Emily. But most people want to have that magic demon mirror, Emily finally understands what trouble they have made, and understands more about the goddess family and why every generation has to learn martial arts from childhood.

I want to destroy the demon mirror, but there is no way to destroy the demon mirror, if there is a way, they will not have to pass it down from generation to generation, vowing to guard the demon mirror with their lives. Sadness made my hair slowly gray, I was in a few days, suddenly become old.

And Emily, in addition to the inability to speak, suddenly becomes very confident, very charming, walking can be described as the style of a lot of ah. And the original Emily did not have a trace of similarity, and strange is to come to my home of those male guests who originally came to the demon mirror. But after seeing Emily, one by one, the demon mirror to forget, like Emily.

Although I saw the change in Emily, she was troubled by the demon mirror, so there is no time for Emily. Besides, Emily has always been a good boy in my heart, so she did not care too much.

But the everyday people who come to my home will come home to a person who died, and the more strange things spread. Everyone is saying that Emily is a demon who specializes in sucking people's souls, as long as a man looks at her, he will be sucked by his soul, but what is even stranger is that no one in the village has ever had anything like this happen.

Some people are afraid, but more people feel the excitement, that is, men, that is, women see Emily as feeling worthy of love. Although Emily's looks can only be described as small, when she smiles, her face charming, walking up to a million kinds of charm. But many people say that Emily walks very lightly, I do not know why as long as the people who have seen her, are feeling that she is either walking or behaving, are not like modern people. Instead, it is more like an ancient lady in a deep harem.

I learned the news of the death of the fifth person, she took out the demon mirror, but what she saw in the mirror was her adopted daughter Emily. It turns out that the day Emily used her hands to wipe clean the demon mirror, the ghost in the demon mirror took the opportunity to run into Emily's body. The soul of Emily has driven away, but also because the ghost in the demon mirror was too weak, it did not take the opportunity to devour Emily's soul. And Emily because she previously unintentionally, tears fell on the mirror, so Emily's soul entered the mirror by mistake and learned the secret of the mirror demon.

The original demon mirror is an ancient lady since childhood, and an official young master set a marriage contract, but because of love with a poor scholar. So on the day of the wedding let their maid instead of their wedding, but the poor scholar and the maid on behalf of the wedding from childhood, love for many years. The maid committed suicide on the day of the wedding, and the poor scholar learned that his lover died, he took out a book of demonology that had been passed down to him.

The scholar is after the demon, generations will be some demon, just to the scholar's generation, he only likes the piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and does not like demon magic. But today he wants to inherit the family learning for his lover, the scholar does not want to let the young lady have that simple death, he wants to make the young lady worse than death. So he used demonology to lock the soul of the young lady in the bronze mirror and put a curse once she came out of the bronze mirror, then every day and her contact with the people will die a strange death.

Emily and I thought about it for a long time, and finally agreed to by Emily clutching the soul of the young lady, there I held her entity, and then set fire to everything to destroy.

That fire is really big ah, burned a whole seven days, the only thing that people do not understand is the goddess family on fire, no one can put out that fire, and burned for seven days in addition to burning the goddess family house next door to the house it has not been the slightest bit of damage.
