Chapter Twenty-Three: The Story of the Xuanhuang Mirror

After dinner, Xian Gu and I followed Director Qin to the police station, I took out the treasure mirror from my pocket and looked at it carefully, Xian Gu was still sitting next to me. After looking at it for a while, I didn't see anything famous, but the lines on it seemed to depict a monster. There is an auspicious cloud pattern under the feet. I asked the fairy if she could know some of the origins of this treasure mirror. The Immortal Gu pondered for a moment and said, "This 'Gluttonous Xuanhuang Mirror' is an ancient artifact. It was cultivated by Taiyi Zhenren when he attained the Tao, and he only used it when he subdued the Soul Demon Demon. The five dragons in the nine sons of the dragon depicted above are gluttonous. This is portrayed with the soul mark of gluttony, which can represent its side existence, so it is lifelike. "Gluttony? It's the monster that eats everything." The fairy girl nodded and said, "This gluttony can devour all things, and the favorite is to devour the souls of the living. Later, he was punished by the Jade Emperor for his evil deeds. ”

I wondered, "If the soul of the living is devoured, will it be dead?" The fairy girl looked at me curiously and said, "Why doesn't Tianzun even know this?" I said that it was difficult to urge her to speak quickly, and the fairy girl said: "Everyone in the world has three souls and seven spirits. The three souls are responsible for ideology, while the seven spirits are responsible for bodily functions. The three souls have one main soul and two secondary souls. Ordinary people are frightened and say that they have lost their souls, and they are one of the two secondary souls that have been lost. Auxiliary souls cannot go to hell on their own, but can only wander unconsciously in the world. If the time is short, a simple conjuring ritual can be recruited, and if the event exceeds seventy-seven forty-nine days, you can go to the well to summon it back. Unless you are thrown into the river when you are drowning, you can only go to the river. Because the water of the well does not interfere with the water of the river. The soul of the river cannot be brought back from the well. ”

I nodded and motioned for him to continue, and the fairy girl continued: "If a secondary soul is lost, ordinary people just feel dizzy, tired, and unenergetic. It won't have a big impact. But if the two secondary souls are lost, they will become stupid and stupid. Even insane. If the main soul is scared away by excessive fright, it will become a vegetative state. There is no consciousness, only breathing. Because although the two secondary souls can hear the surrounding sounds, the main soul has no body and is out of control. If the main soul is lost, it is difficult to recover it without a high Dao Xing. Simple spiritualist rituals are simply useless. "Immortal Gu said that if Director Cao took the mirror in his hand just now, he would definitely be sucked out of the main soul and become a vegetative person. After listening to the words of the fairy girl, he suddenly became afraid of this inconspicuous mirror. Immortal Gu continued: "Among the ancient great virtues, they all have their own special magic weapons, and ordinary Taoists can't cultivate such treasures, and if they don't cultivate well, they may be swallowed by the treasure mirror. So this set of Xuanhuang mirrors should be only one side. "I wonder why you use gluttony for this evil monster? The fairy aunt explained, "Because the reason why this gluttony can devour all things. It's because it has a pair of celestial eyes, and these eyes are red. It can see through everything in the world, and use it to guard things like a jailer looking at a prison cell. Nothing will escape its eyes. ”

Speaking of which, I have a general understanding of this treasure mirror. At this time, it was not early, and the two directors planned to take us to squat at Guitou Ridge tonight to see if we could find anything. We each wore a police coat because it would be cold on the hill at night.
