A nine-foot-tall bronze mirror is the legendary Mirror Stand.

Such a large bronze mirror must be worth a lot of money, but Xu Zhiqiong stood in front of the mirror and looked at it for a while, but didn't see anything special.

In this era, bronze mirrors were considered a luxury. Xu Zhiqiong did not have a mirror at home, but there was a mirror in the academy. However, Xu Zhiqiong did not have the opportunity to look in the mirror except for fights and exams in the academy.

It has been a month since he came to this world, and Xu Zhiqiong has not yet taken a good look at his face.

Xu Zhiqiong's appearance is quite good, he is about 1.8 meters tall, with long hair that is slightly messy but more unruly, and paired with this copper mask that looks slightly vicissitudes of life.

If two strands of frosty white hair could be added to the sideburns, wouldn't it become an ordinary life?

Xu Zhiqiong was admiring his beauty when he suddenly heard the female promoter shout: "Have you seen enough? Aren't you afraid of losing your soul? I asked you to take photos of him, so why do you do so to yourself?"

he?

It turned out to be a black dog.

The Mirror of Evil reflects the sins of evil spirits.

Xu Zhiqiong brought the black dog over. In front of the evil mirror, the "black dog" was so frightened that he could not stand up, but Xu Zhiqiong only saw a trembling soul and nothing else.

The female promoter became a little impatient: "Is this your first time to punish evil officials?"

Xu Zhiqiong said frankly: "This is really the first time."

"Take a photo of your sins and take a photo together. If you just take a photo of the soul, what can you find?"

Xu Zhiqiong secretly took a breath and took back the horn from the push officer.

You are a high-ranking official, but you come to bully me, a newcomer.

Can’t you say everything at once?

Xu Zhiqiong guessed correctly. The female promoter did not tell the whole story on purpose. She wanted to find out the details of Xu Zhiqiong.

Judging from various performances, Xu Zhiqiong not only knows nothing about the Punishment Division, but also knows nothing about the Magistrate Sect.

Of course, the possibility that Xu Zhiqiong deliberately concealed his clumsiness cannot be ruled out.

Xu Zhiqiong held the horn and the black dog and stood in front of the mirror. The originally clear mirror surface suddenly became blurred, as if it was covered with a layer of water mist.

When the mist dissipated, a picture appeared before Xu Zhiqiong's eyes.

In the first picture, the black dog is biting a boy who is feeding the dog. The black dog in the picture is not very big. It must have been a crime committed in the early years. The boy was only slightly injured.

In the second picture, the black dog killed a chicken and ate it.

Is this considered a sin?

In the third picture, this black dog killed a puppy and ate it, all the bones were clean...

The next scenes flashed one by one, all trivial things, until the black dog reached its prime, and finally a scene caught Xu Zhiqiong's attention.

He bit someone to death, and judging from his clothes, he must have been a maid.

During the bite, the maid kept struggling and shouting, but no one came to save her.

After the maid was bitten to death, the black dog began to eat the maid's body.

Xu Zhiqiong knew the main source of sin, this black dog had eaten people!

The picture ends here, and another picture appears, in which a black dog is devouring the body of an old man. Judging from the clothes, he is a beggar. Judging from the scars on the beggar's body, he was also bitten to death by a black dog.

It cost more than one life.

The next scene was similar. The black dog ate four people one after another.

The last three scenes are very special. In the first scene, a black dog is biting a pair of beggars and is kicked several times by a man. This man is Xu Zhiqiong.

In the second scene, a black dog stepped forward to bite a man, but was knocked to the ground by the man's punch. This man, known to Xu Zhiqiong, was "Mrs. Zhang's" domestic servant Lu San. Lu San had a ninth-grade cultivation level.

, dealing with a dog is no problem.

In the third scene, the dog bites the pair of beggars again and is beaten to death by Xu Zhiqiong.

After the last scene was presented, the bronze mirror returned to normal.

"Black Dog" knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the female promoter with all his strength: "Sir, please allow me a word!"

The female promotion officer was stunned: "How do you know I am a promotion officer?"

"Black Dog" said: "The Underworld knows that I am not a great evil person. Before reincarnation, I was allowed to leave the memories of my previous life. I have been to the Evil Punishment Division and the official has seen it. Sir, I am really unjust. In this life

He is a beast, and the various crimes he has committed are firstly driven by his nature, and secondly, he was ordered by his master!"

Xu Zhiqiong sneered: "What's the use of talking about this?"

The female official said: "It still has some uses. Bloodthirst is the nature of ferocious beasts. Just like a tiger in the mountains, it is not a sin whether it eats other beasts or humans."

Xu Zhiqiong said in astonishment: "What's the truth? A man-eating tiger is not guilty?"

The female judge said: "Don't use the laws of the world to argue with me. They are the laws of the emperor's family. The judges' decisions follow the laws of nature."

The judgment of life and death depends entirely on the laws of good and evil.

This is what the Taoist priest said, and it is also the working principle of the judge.

The principles must be mastered proficiently. Xu Zhiqiong sincerely asked the recommendation officer: "If there are any provisions on heavenly principles, can you please take a look at them?"

"Articles?" The official was stunned and asked, "Who brought you in?"

Xu Zhiqiong did not dare to mention the Taoist priest. Seeing that Xu Zhiqiong was unwilling to answer, the judge did not ask further: "If you can't even discern the principles of heaven, why should you be a judge?"

Distinguish?

Could it be said that there are no provisions in the laws of heaven and it is entirely up to the judge to make his own decisions?

But according to Xu Zhiqiong's judgment, it is a crime for animals to kill people.

Xu Zhiqiong couldn't understand, and the female promoter added: "If you don't believe it, go squat in the mountains for ten or eight years and see if man-eating tigers will increase your sins!"

I almost forgot, the black dog has karma, it is more than three inches long, and it is held in my hand.

Sinful karma grows on the head according to certain objective laws. It is an objective existence and is also an important basis for the judge's decision.

The judge's decision is not subjective but objective, but Xu Zhiqiong has not yet figured out the rules.

Still the same question, where does sin come from?

Xu Zhiqiong thought for a long time, shook his head and said: "It is not a crime for animals to kill people, so why is it a crime for humans to kill people? People are worse than animals?"

The official said: "Humans have spiritual intelligence and are different from animals. Moreover, it depends on the reason for killing. Killing innocent people indiscriminately is a serious crime. To do justice for heaven and kill thieves and eliminate harm is not only not a crime, but also a merit. We must reward the good leaders.

reward!"

Where is the Good Rewards Department?

While Xu Zhiqiong was still confused, the "black dog" seized the opportunity to defend himself, pointed at Xu Zhiqiong and said: "This man doesn't understand anything. Don't listen to his one-sided words. I was naturally

Trapped and coerced by my master, the crimes I committed were not my intention!"

The female promoter looked at the black dog: "Your soul is a human being, and you still have memories. Even if you are reincarnated as a beast, you still have intelligence. You have eaten four people in total, and you were all coerced?"

"Black Dog" said: "I have lost my intelligence. After I changed into a dog, although I still have human memories, I can only live according to the dog's nature. Dogs love to eat meat, and I can't restrain it. Besides, if I don't

I am a cannibal, my master beat me to death, and the ants still live in vain, all I do is out of helplessness!"

What is the situation, this black dog wants to overturn the verdict? Want to overturn the verdict with just a few words?

There are only two grounds for his sophistry:

First, he turned into a dog, lost his human nature, and his behavior was uncontrollable.

Second, everything he did was under the coercion of his master.

In short, the crimes he committed were not intentional.

This seems to be easy to verify.

Xu Zhiqiong looked at the evil mirror stand: "Whether it is his original intention or not, you will know if you look at it in the mirror."

The female judge shook her head and said: "The evil mirror can only reflect the sins, but not the causes and consequences."

The "black dog" quickly cried out: "Sir, I am truly unjust. Although I was wrong, my sin is by no means unforgivable. I am willing to be an animal again in the next life to atone for my sins, but I can no longer go to the underworld to suffer! You have learned from me, sir!"

The duty of the judge is to convict the guilty souls.

If it is true that this black dog is innocent, Xu Zhiqiong's trip will be in vain and he will not get any merit.

The female official said: "Let me ask you, why did you eat that servant girl?"

"The beauty of that maid seduced my master, and my wife ordered me to kill her."

"What's the explanation for eating a beggar?"

"That beggar blocked the road to beg and soiled my wife's clothes. My wife ordered me to bite him to death!"

"Why did you attack the servant?" She was referring to the servant Lu San.

Black Dog explained: "That servant coveted my wife's beauty and often behaved frivolously. My wife held a grudge, so she ordered me to kill him. Unfortunately, he has cultivation skills and I am no match for him!"

The female promoter smiled and said: "What a loyal dog, are you a dog or an assassin? Your wife wants to kill someone, why do you always order you to do it?"

Black Dog said sincerely: "My wife really trusts me!"
