Chapter 102: Ancient Mirror for Revealing Demons

"Something happened in the prison the day before yesterday..."

Zhou Yi slowly wrote.

Prince Chu did not issue a hush-hush order on this matter. As Sanwu, he would receive the news within a few days.

There are many Buddhist and Taoist monks in the Demon Slaying Department who are temporarily employed, and the changes in the prison cannot be concealed at all.

Spiritual evil? Rumor has it that it will appear every three hundred years or so. It has been five hundred years since Zhongzong established the Demon Slayer Division, which is indeed a bit early.

Sanwu paused for a moment and continued to reply.

It is a pity that the Demon Slayer Prison has issued an order since the beginning of its establishment, prohibiting the royal family from entering, otherwise collecting spiritual evil spirit and refining it into magic weapons can greatly increase its power.

Sanwu was born into a royal family but joined the Taoist sect. For some reason, he had conflicts. The first thing he thought of was to pluck the royal family's wool.

Zhou Yi wrote: "I have always had a doubt. When the demon-slaying division throws the demon body into the demon refining cave and the demon refining cave, it must have accumulated endless resentment. There has been no problem for hundreds of years?"

Some people speculated that Zhongzong was refining the immortal weapon to subdue the country, while others speculated that it was to breed a peerless spiritual object. There are different opinions, and the real situation is not known yet.

"The evil spirit has been accumulated for hundreds of years, but it is still safe and sound. No one has tried to explore it?"

Of course there is. Pindao knew that there were a few old guys who had exhausted their lifespan, so he placed his hope of extending his life in the Demon Refining Cave. Unfortunately, he never came out after going in.

The higher your cultivation level, the longer you live, and the more you long for longevity.

What scares people is not death, but the impending death. When it is clear that there are still a few years left in life, even the monk with a strong Taoist heart is driven crazy.

Zhou Yi thought he could see life and death, but in fact the real test came when his life span was about to expire.

After confirming that Sanwu didn't know much about the Great Prison, Zhou Yi changed the subject: "Friend Taoist, the ancient mirror hanging in the Demon Slaying Hall is quite magical. Do you know what treasure it is?"

Controlling three clones to sneak into the torture chamber, the identity was revealed through the plaque in the Demon Slayer Palace. "Shiliu" used his magic to see through the plaque, which turned out to be an ancient bronze mirror.

The monk likes to open a trumpet to cause trouble, so the ancient mirror turned into a plaque to hide his identity for self-protection, which is reasonable.

That mirror is a bitch!

Sanwu's tone suddenly became fierce, and he began to talk about his grievances and grudges with Gu Jing.

As a branch of the Li family, Sanwu has a similar status to Li Xun. In order to accumulate training resources, he became the Demon-Slaying School Captain.

One of them risked his life and used his seventh-grade martial arts cultivation to kill a fifth-grade demon in exchange for a pill to break through the realm.

As soon as I walked out of the gate of the Demon Slaying Department, I heard the plaque saying: "Little guy, I see that you have extraordinary talents and amazing bones. You are a martial arts wizard who is rare to see in a century..."

When Zhou Yi heard this, he had already thought of what happened next.

Who doesn’t have the dream of finding an opportunity in a difficult situation, getting a secret recipe by jumping off a cliff, and reaching the top of life?

really.

That damn mirror defrauded me of all my cultivation resources!

Sanwu was still young at that time and had no idea about the dangers of the world. When he heard the plaque's praise, he really thought that he had become the future of the Li family!

In order to restore the vitality of the plaque and recall the forgotten Taizu's peerless inheritance, not only did he give the spiritual elixir that he had just risked his life to exchange for, but he also spent all his merits to exchange for the spiritual stone.

After that, he performed tasks again and again, and was deceived by the plaque again and again.

Until one day three years later.

Sanwu excitedly took the spirit stones he had just redeemed to dedicate to Taizu as a treasure, and happened to see a new demon-slaying captain.

The plaque is saying: "Little guy, I see you are extremely talented..."

At that time, I was so angry that I threw blood on the ancient mirror and was expelled from the royal family for disrespecting Taizu's relics!

Sanwu conveyed the message in words, but Zhou Yi heard the sound of gnashing teeth, which shows his hatred.

Later, I met the master outside, worshiped in the Yunxiao Taoist Palace, and the first thing after condensing the Yang God...

He threw the ancient mirror into the water and put it under ninety-nine layers of restrictions. He soaked it for several days before being rescued.

After the Third Enlightenment, the plaque that originally hung at the gate of the Demon Slayer Division was moved to the Demon Slayer Hall.

Zhou Yi asked: "So, that ancient mirror is really a relic of Taizu?"

Many treasures of the royal family are claimed to be left by Taizu, and most of them are gilded.

This ancient mirror is called Zhaoyao, but it is a real relic of Taizu. Legend has it that it was obtained from a certain demon country. It can reflect all spirits and identify demons and ghosts in the world.

Zhongzong established the Demon Slaying Department. In order to prevent demons from mixing in, ancient mirrors were hung at the gate.

Sanwu did not get along with the royal family, but he had enough respect for Taizu and Zhongzong. They were not only ancestors, but also powerful men.

The two chatted for a while, including about Yizhou Buddhism, the White Lotus Rebels in Northern Xinjiang, etc.

As an iconic figure in the Taoist sect, Sanwu is more open-minded about Buddhism than the middle and lower classes. Except for a few curses about thunder striking a certain divine monk, his other evaluations are quite fair.

Talking about the monster search record that Zhou Yi was revising, Sanwu gave many suggestions. For example, crocodile monster meat can replenish blood, replenish qi and strengthen bones...

The Demon Search Record has been deleted and revised several times, and the latest one is even close to being re-edited, and is finally almost completed.

Mao Jiu waited until Zhou Yi put away the summons paper, then suddenly jumped on the table and opened one page of the demon search record.

"Chief Immortal, can you add one sentence here: Mao Jiu's spiritual pupils are invalid!"

…

The next day.

Zhou Yi came to the Ministry of Things, and others also came on duty early.

Something happened in the execution room, and the officials of the Ministry of Finance must stick to it at all times, otherwise the court would turn a blind eye to the missing pills.

Colleagues were very interested in what happened yesterday. Not long after Zhou Yi sat down, Chief Chen came in.

Master Chen lowered his voice: "Old Zhou, let me tell you about our old friendship over many years. Is it dangerous recently?"

The person who least wanted the prison to have problems was Zhou Yi, and the second one was Chen Zhubu.

A serious Jinshi who had been working as a Zhubu for more than ten years must have either a hole in his brain or too much money.

Zhou Yi was short of money before, and he sold monster meat essence pills for a while. The foreign merchant bought them at 30% to 50% of the market price.

He did not hide the news from the merchant.

There were dozens of martial arts sects queuing up to buy these monster meat essence pills, involving several states, and on the surface, they were covered up by a large chamber of commerce.

After being on duty for a long time, the Ministry of Things thought that this was just an ordinary salary. The scraps left by the monsters were actually rare resources of the lower third grade, and the market was in short supply.

Zhou Yi replied, "Old Zhang said it's just a little troublesome, no problem."

"That's good, does Old Zhou need a house?"

Chen Zhubu chuckled, "I'm just an ordinary man, I can't afford any treasures, there are a few empty houses in Kyoto..."

Zhou Yi shook his head and said, "Your Excellency, don't be polite, I still want to stay in the Ministry of Things for a hundred or eighty years."

Chen Zhubu enviously said, "Tsk tsk tsk, you and Old Zhang are the pillars of our Ministry of Things!"

"What pillars? Old Zhang is clearly a seven-foot man!"

Zhang Cheng looked relaxed and said, "I went to see an old friend yesterday and confirmed that everything is fine. Everything is as usual."

"As usual, as usual!"

Chen Zhubu was overjoyed, Zhang Cheng's words were like a reassurance.

"There is a new place in Xiushanfang. I heard that there are many foreign women, which is very different from the customs of Dagan..."

Zhang Cheng nodded repeatedly. He went to inquire about the news last night and was ready to resign and run away.

The life span in the Spirit Refining Realm is long. It is correct to stay out for ten or eight years, and then come back to continue your post after the turmoil in the Demon Slaying Prison is settled.
