"Dream of the Red Chamber," Chapter Twelve: The Treasury of Pleasures and Jia Rui's Death.

One day, a person with disabilities in their legs...

Taoist.

But, he came to receive food assistance. He said that he specializes in treating illnesses caused by karmic retribution.

Just then, Jia Rui heard something from within the room and shouted loudly, "Quickly, get that...".

Bodhisattva.

"Please call a doctor and help me save my life!" she said, bowing her head on the pillow.

Everyone reluctantly brought the Taoist priest inside. Jia Rui clung to him and repeatedly cried out, "Bodhisattva, please help me!"

The Taoist sighed and said, "That illness cannot be cured with medicine. I will give you one treasure."

"If you look at it every day, your life will be saved."

Saying that, she took out a mirror from the bag. It was a mirror that reflected human figures on both its front and back sides.

Behind the mirror, there is a "[".

Wind, moon, treasure mirror.

Fugetsuhokan.

"The four characters "]" were engraved on it."

The Taoist handed a mirror to Jia Rui and said, "This is..."

It was a product that existed at that time,

"It was made by [the person's name]."

"This is a mirror to cure the illness of being trapped by crooked thoughts and acting recklessly. It has the power to save people and protect lives."

"That's why I brought it into this world. It is only to be shown to wise and talented young nobles who understand the arts."

"Absolutely do not look at the front side. Only look at the back side. This is very important. This is very important!"

"I will come to pick it up in three days. That illness will definitely get better."

Saying that, the Taoist priest leisurely left. Everyone tried their best to stop him, but they couldn't.

Jia Rui received the mirror and thought, "This Taoist is quite interesting."

"Let's try it out by looking at it." Thinking that, I took the Fugetsu Hoken and looked at its back.

Inside, there is a single...

Skeleton.

stood there. Jia Rui was surprised and hastily covered the mirror.

The Taoist priest ridiculed him, saying, "Why are you threatening me! This time, I'm going to show you what appears on the screen."

I thought so and looked at the table. Inside, Phoenix Lady was standing there, waving her hand to call for Jia Rui.

Jia Rui became happy, and he felt like he was floating into the mirror.

I had sexual relations with Phoenix Sister. Afterwards, I was sent by Phoenix Sister to return to my bed and made a sound like "Ah."

When I opened my eyes, the mirror was turned upside down again. On the back side, there stood a skeleton, just like before.

Jia Rui noticed that he was sweating. Below, semen had already accumulated. Yet, he still felt unsatisfied.

Then, when he returned to the table, Phoenix Lady was still beckoning him. Jia Rui entered again. This repeated three or four times.

Next time, when I tried to come out of the mirror, two people appeared. They put iron chains on Jia Rui and pulled him away.

Jia Rui shouted, "Let me go after I take the mirror!" After saying that sentence, he could no longer speak.

To the people who were tending to him nearby, at first, all they saw was Jia Rui looking into the mirror, and when it fell, he would open his eyes and pick it up again. Finally, when the mirror fell, Jia Rui stopped moving.

Everyone came over and looked at the situation.

He had already stopped breathing.

The area beneath my body was as cold as ice.

Semen had accumulated and was wet.

Everyone was finally able to, and they hastily dressed the deceased in a kimono and moved the body to the bed. The elderly couple were crying so intensely that they seemed about to lose consciousness.

The Taoist was severely ridiculed. "What an eerie mirror. If it is not destroyed, it will leave a great harm in the world." And he ordered them to start a fire and burn it.

Then, a voice called out from above. "Who said to look at the surface! You are the ones who have arbitrarily believed in falsehoods. Why did you burn my mirror?"

Suddenly, a mirror flew out from above and into the air. As Daifu went outside the gate, he saw the lame Taoist priest there. He was shouting, "Who broke the Fengyue Hoken!"

Saying that, she snatched the mirror and, in front of everyone, gracefully walked away.
