Chapter 1 The Six Paths Treasure Mirror(1/2)

Lanshan Town is surrounded by mountains on three sides and has beautiful scenery. The towers in the town are built according to the mountains, and are surrounded by green mountains and green bamboos, which creates a unique scenery.

However, at this moment, the town was in a state of chaos, with many houses collapsed and buildings collapsed. Under the pale moonlight, there was countless dust floating in the air.

Among the ruins and rubble, dozens of figures wearing the same clothes, holding bronze mirrors and wooden sticks, were busily shuttled among them, carefully surveying everything around them.

A gust of dark wind hit him, Zhou Xuan shivered, opened his eyes, and found himself lying on his side on the ground.

He glanced left and right, then subconsciously got up from the ground, patting the dust on his body as a habit. Then, a chill rushed to his head, waking him up instantly.

Wasn't it that I was swept away by the flood during the rescue operation...

Why didn't you die?

No, this place... doesn't seem to be a disaster area?

Only then did he realize that the place he was in was in a mess, with broken rubble and broken railings everywhere. The air was filled with turbid dust. Some collapsed ancient-style buildings could be vaguely seen in the shadows not far away.

Outline.

As for his own clothes, he didn't know when he turned into a cold and soft black robe. A bronze mirror and a wooden stick fell at his feet, and he also carried a bamboo basket with an earthen pot on his back.

At this time, pieces of incomplete memories flashed through his mind as if they were suddenly recalled to him...

A village living by the river...a huge snake demon...an immortal descending from the sky...

A month ago, the snake demon attacked the village, and the whole village almost died. Fortunately, the immortals from Tianshi Mansion arrived in time and saved the predecessor and some villagers.

Later, when asked about his plans, his predecessor, who had nothing to lose, heard that the Demon Appraisal Department under the Tianshi Mansion was recruiting young men with strong masculinity, and that they would be provided with food, accommodation and monthly payments, so he went to the Demon Appraisal Division to report the matter.

After signing the paperwork and receiving the tools, his predecessor became a demon inspector.

"Xiao Zhou, are you okay?"

The sound coming from not far away brought him back from his thoughts. As soon as Zhou Xuan came back to his senses, he saw a demon appraiser in similar attire as him running towards him panting.

"Great, I say you are really lucky! You don't know that not long after you left, the remnant soul of the wolf demon ran out from your direction. Fortunately, Commander Liu found it and killed it! Otherwise, we

Maybe someone will have to lie down and walk!"

Zhou Xuan suddenly understood that this was how his predecessor died.

"General Liu said that although the remnant soul of the wolf demon has been eliminated, there are still some remaining demonic auras. Let us search again and confirm that nothing is wrong before we can close the team." In the impression of the predecessor, this person is called Ah.

Fu, who worked a month earlier than him, is enthusiastic and positive, and has a very good relationship with everyone.

After finishing speaking, Ah Fu patted Zhou Xuan on the shoulder, "I'll go check over there. Just look over here. Remember to look carefully. If you find any evil spirit, use a jar to collect it. Don't worry about that thing.

.”

After saying that, before Zhou Xuan could respond, he had already run away quickly.

Zhou Xuan pinched his arm gently and felt a little pain, and then he believed that he was indeed alive.

Although I can't explain what exactly happened, the feeling of living down-to-earth... is really good.

...Even in this world where demons are rampant.

He calmed down and accepted his predecessor's identity.

After briefly understanding what the demon appraiser was going to do, he picked up the bronze mirror and the wooden stick engraved with seal scripts from the ground and prepared to work.

After some demons die, they will use secret techniques to hide a remnant of their soul, waiting for an opportunity to escape, and then come back after practicing.

Broken rubble, inconspicuous wood chips, pebbles, clothes in the ruins, and even a small amount of loess under the cracks in the ground may become the objects for the residual soul to reside temporarily.

The job of the Demon Appraisal Service is to use Tianshitang’s special bronze mirror to search the battlefield to identify whether there are any remnant souls.

This job seems simple, but the fatality rate is not low.

There is also a seal on the chest of the front body that was issued by the Tianshi Mansion to ward off evil spirits. Wasn't it still sent away by the remnant soul of the wolf demon?

Zhou Xuan took a slight breath.

It seems like my predecessor was sent away after only working for a month...

In his mind, he remembered the document signed by his predecessor...the statute of limitations seemed to be five years?

Five years... gritting his teeth, I have to let him get through it!

He held the bronze mirror and wooden stick tightly, and mustered up the courage to face this second phase of his life.

At this moment, he noticed that there seemed to be some firefly-like light spots flying in the ruins around him.

Zhou Xuanhan's hair stood up and he grasped the only wooden stick at hand that could give him a sense of security.

Give me a chance, brother, I just came back to life!

After trembling with nervousness for a moment, Zhou Xuan found that the light spots gradually merged and finally formed a light group in mid-air.

There was nothing unusual during the whole process.

Zhou Xuan looked at the bronze mirror carefully, and there seemed to be no reaction, so he felt relieved.

At this moment, his eyes were in a trance again. When he came to his senses, he didn't know when a simple and worn-out document appeared in front of him. He had never seen the four symbols on the writing, but at first glance, it looked like

, I actually understood what that meant.

"Six Paths Treasure Mirror...?"

When Zhou Xuan was surprised, he saw a hazy figure emerging from the Six Paths Treasure Mirror. The figure was solemn in appearance, holding a magic weapon and wearing a silk ribbon. It looked like a statue of the King of Heaven in a Taoist temple.

As soon as it appeared, the ball of light floated over on its own and merged into the figure.

After that, a majestic voice sounded in Zhou Xuan's heart: "The white-haired demon wolf heard a wisp of Buddha's voice outside Jingkong Temple in Kongruo Mountain. From then on, he enlightened his Taoist heart and practiced quietly for one hundred and twenty-three years before losing his demonic body. However, his demonic nature has not yet been restored.

Transformed, once he had a taste of blood, he would step into the path of evil spirits again. In half a month, he would kill more than a hundred civilians and devour twelve babies... Today, he will surrender to the law and return to the path of animals."

"The cause and effect of the white-haired wolf demon is settled, and the reward is: one year of Taoism, and a wisp of the Buddha's voice."

After the sound, the Six Paths Treasure Mirror turned into a stream of light and penetrated into Zhou Xuan's Dantian. At the same moment, he felt a warm current flowing through his body, as comfortable as if he had taken a hot spring bath.

Immediately afterwards, he found that his whole body was filled with warmth, and it was as if there was an inexhaustible strength in his body.

"Is this one year of Taoism?" He was surprised and happy. Such physical changes were better than the six years of fitness in his previous life.

At the same time, he also discovered that there was a ray of golden light in his Dantian. When he focused on it, a thunderous and shocking chant faintly sounded in his ears, making him feel like he was about to die immediately.

An intense feeling of bliss.

He suddenly shuddered, suddenly pulled back his thoughts, and his attention left his Dantian as if it had fled.

He noticed that the golden light seemed to be dimmed.

"It turns out it's a consumable. If you focus on it, you can hear the Buddha's voice..." He was a little scared. If he hadn't just practiced Taoism for a year and had the ability to resist a little, he might have become a Buddha immediately.

"However, it seems that other people cannot see these six treasure mirrors and light balls, which means... they belong to me alone?" The movement just now made everyone aware that something was wrong, but nothing happened, which was enough to confirm his

guess.

"That's great! If the Six Paths Treasure Mirror can keep rewarding me with Taoism, it shouldn't be difficult to survive these five years!"

After calming down his excitement a little, he carefully checked his surroundings and made sure there was nothing abnormal before going to join Ah Fu.

Soon, the team gathered.

"This time, everyone forced the remnant soul of the wolf demon out before it hurt civilians. The speed was faster than before, which is very good."

Commander Liu was a middle-aged man with a stern face, wearing a black and white gold-rimmed robe. His right hand rested naturally on the scabbard of the dragon-patterned sword at his waist. His sharp eyes swept over the scene and stayed on Zhou Xuan for a moment.

"you!"

When Zhou Xuan was named, his scalp suddenly exploded, and he became even more panicked. He was worried that Commander Liu was a reclusive sweeping monk. It was obvious at a glance that he was not his predecessor?

But Commander Liu nodded slightly to him and said: "Before setting off next time, remember to pick up the 'evil evil talisman'."

Zhou Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, but just now, he felt his back was already cold.

"Retract the team and return to the headquarters to rest!"

It wasn't until a group of people boarded the Demon Appraisal Division's flying boat and took off into the sky that civilians in the distance poked their heads out in horror, looking at the houses destroyed in the battle with lingering fear, with a look on their faces.

Even though he looked happy to have survived the disaster, there was also an indelible sadness in his eyes.

The government of Lanshan Town quickly organized manpower and repaired the houses with ease.

In the Great Xia Immortal Dynasty, demon subjugation and eradication were under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, demon inspections and inspections were under the jurisdiction of the Demon Appraisal Department, and reconstruction work was under the jurisdiction of the local government.

The division of responsibilities is very clear.



In the clouds, flying boats kept flying back and forth.

Zhou Xuan was restless.

Ever since the flying boat took off and kept flying, the Six Paths Treasure Mirror in his Dantian was ready to move.

He didn't really understand it at first, until a picture was transmitted to his mind through the Six Paths Treasure Mirror.

He saw a white-haired heavenly master killing a white tiger demon in a lush mountain forest, and countless light spots flew from the broken battlefield...

He saw a female heavenly master slaying a black dragon in a river, and countless light spots slowly emerged in the turbulent waves...

Wherever the flying boat passed, incidents of heavenly masters slaying demons taking place on the earth were all sensed by the Six Paths Treasure Mirror. Zhou Xuan seemed to be able to sense the hunger and restlessness of the Six Paths Treasure Mirror, and he wished he could control him to jump down.
To be continued...
