Chapter 56 Half a month has passed, fourteen hundred years of Taoism
Another thing Zhou Xuan didn't say was that he had actually seen the City Lord's Mansion with his soul sensing. Without Wu Bing, the evil spirit in the City Lord's Mansion was gradually dissipating as if it had lost its source.
From this, it can be judged that there are no demons in the city lord's mansion.
After going to the City Lord's Mansion, the three of them continued to survey the sky.
During this period, Zhou Xuan took the time to recall what happened to Wu Bing and analyze his situation.
"When I first met Wu Bing, although he was full of evil spirits, there was nothing demonic about him."
"When the Liudao Baojian was sorting out the cause and effect, it was said that Wu Bing had reached a blood contract with a ray of soul from Ming Luo. With the help of something called the 'Blood Refining Pearl', the soul of Ming Luo could be temporarily possessed and transformed into an evil spirit.
…”
"The Blood Refining Pearl...? It should be the Night Pearl, right?"
"When Bu Zhou destroyed the Blood Refining Pearl, he should have also dispersed a ray of Ming Luo Yuan Shen hidden in it... Even if not, I should be able to cause harm to it by using the calamity-relieving technique to obliterate the evil aura.
…”
"As for possession..."
"Although the figure at that time was Wu Bing, there seemed to be an illusory shadow floating behind him..."
Zhou Xuan recalled the scene when Wu Bing rushed in front of him. The shadow had disheveled hair, was pale and skinny, and at a glance it was hard to tell whether it was a human or a ghost.
"I think that is a ray of Ming Luo's soul."
Zhou Xuan suddenly thought of the situation where Gengsi Youshen possessed Luosen County Master. Now it seems that the situation of Ming Luo possessing Wu Bing should be similar, but the Master did not know that he was possessed when he was possessed.
, and Wu Bing's words are more like a puppet container that temporarily accommodates the soul...
"'Mingluo puppet', so that's what it means."
"Wu Bing was able to reach this point because there seemed to be an intermediary - the ghost-faced green-maned fox demon... Is this ghost-faced green-maned fox demon the fake state Mu An Zongtang?"
He rubbed his brows and felt that things were a bit complicated. He had clearly clarified the mystery of the flood in the City Lord's Mansion, but why did he feel that he had stepped into a bigger and deeper mystery?
"Ming Luo is related to the Three Tribulations Soul Banner, and also seems to be related to the fox demon and Wu Bing..."
"But Wu Bing has nothing to do with the Three Tribulations Soul Flag..."
"So...could it have something to do with the Nirvana Fire Lotus Church?"
The clues seemed a bit messy. Rather than describing it as a mess, Zhou Xuan felt that it was more appropriate to describe it as a incomplete puzzle piece.
He found some of the pieces, but as he pieced together the first corner, he realized that the whole puzzle seemed terrifyingly big, and all he knew were just some of the pieces.
It's a bit complicated...
"Alas..." Zhou Xuan sighed deeply.
"Brother Zhou, why are you sighing like this?" Li Qingsong noticed Zhou Xuan's confusion and couldn't help asking.
Zhou Xuan was stunned for a moment, then said: "I just thought that the world today is indeed very chaotic! Compared with the chaotic world of monsters and monsters, the evil in people's hearts is the truly terrifying thing..."
Li Qingsong was silent.
At this moment, Ah-Dai nodded seriously, and then said: "I heard Master say that the greed and obsession in people's hearts are like building fortresses on the ground. After they are piled up, if there is not enough concentration, once the desire
It is overwhelming. Not only is that person doomed, but innocent people are also likely to be affected..."
"The human heart and obsessions..." Zhou Xuan sighed and thought to himself, people often say that people become better with age. If I only follow the path and do not pay attention to cultivating my mind, will I one day fail because of my greed and obsession?
Into the abyss?
The Six Paths Treasure Mirror trembled slightly, as if giving some comfort to Zhou Xuan.
During an inspection three days later, Zhou Xuan cleared up the cause and effect of a seven-year-old black-bone chicken essence and obtained a copy of the "Mokelenga Sutra"...
This is an ancient sutra that is compatible with Buddhism and Taoism. After Zhou Xuan memorized it, he often recited it silently in his heart. It also had the effect of cultivating one's moral character.
In the blink of an eye, seven days have passed. There is only half a month left before the end of the census, and Zhou Xuan and the others have completed 70% of many inspection tasks.
In the past half month, the three of them followed the route planned by Zhou Xuan at the beginning, adhering to the principle of predicting first and then acting, and completed the sky survey plan extremely efficiently. At the most terrifying time, they completed nearly a hundred surveys in one day.
Inspection point.
Of course, the main reason is because there are more white patrol points.
Neither Li Qingsong nor Ah-Dai knew that the reason why Zhou Xuan was able to effectively allocate his mobility was actually because he had already used his soul sensing to detect it.
Sometimes when he encounters several patrol points that are relatively dense, Zhou Xuan can cover them all with just one thought, and then pretends to "assess" the danger. Naturally, everything is foolproof.
So, after half a month, they strictly followed the "Operation Snake Guidelines" and inspected a total of two red inspection points, 35 yellow inspection points, 133 green inspection points and nearly 200 white inspection points.
Inspection point.
As for the two red patrol points, although they were high-risk and hardest-hit areas, Zhou Xuan and the others were obviously "luckier". As soon as they arrived, the Celestial Master there happened to kill the demon.
Compared with the clear hardest-hit areas by demons, there are more potential dangers in some yellow patrol points, but in front of Zhou Xuan, who has nearly ten thousand years of Taoism, all lurking demons are insignificant.
In some of the yellow inspection points, Zhou Xuan discovered traces of the Nirvana Fire Lotus Sect and confirmed that they had indeed laid a plan in the 123 counties of Nanyun Continent. Some of the important discoveries were also reported through the Sky Survey.
Go up.
In the end, Zhou Xuan got a huge amount of rewards for clearing the cause and effect. Putting aside the talismans and elixir materials, Daoxing alone accumulated more than 1,400 years.
There are only less than a hundred years left before the small goal of 10,800 years.
The time has come to the sixteenth day.
"The next inspection point is Baihe County." Zhou Xuan said.
Li Qingsong and Ah-Dai's eyes lit up.
Dumb said: "Is it the hardest-hit area in the extra points?"
Zhou Xuan nodded.
"That's right, it's the Baihe County that I specifically mentioned when planning the route."
During the previous planning, Zhou Xuan found out that Baihe County could not be conquered for a long time through the information of the Sky Patrol Survey, so he suspected that a heavenly master was holding the demon in Baihe County without killing it in order to help a certain team of patrol angels in this survey.
Brush points.
"Calculating the time, it has been half a month since we started the survey. In other words, the Heavenly Masters of the Demon Slayer Division should have been in Baihe County for a month."
"To be honest, it is unlikely that you will score points, so be prepared to fail."
Li Qingsong laughed: "It doesn't matter if we fail. With the current scores of the three of us, the top ten should be more than enough."
"Ruona Baihe County is extremely dangerous. We can leave just by taking a look. If someone wants to increase points, Li will do whatever he wants!"
While they were talking and laughing, Baihe County was already in front of them.
Just when he arrived twenty or thirty miles away from Baihe County, Zhou Xuan suddenly felt that the temperature in the air was a little low, and he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He couldn't help but look through the wall, and his pupils suddenly shrank at the next moment.
Chapter completed!
