Chapter 12: The Mirror of the Corpse

Zhu Jiu was not surprised by the outcome of this battle, and he did not have blind confidence in the sunset.

Rather, it stems from the fact that Sunset has hunted high-level corpses three times in the past two days, and ended the battle with one blow like this.

Sunset's strange green skeleton has unimaginable toughness, as if it is indestructible, so far, only when Zhu Jiu first saw the sunset, it was injured by the magic flame when it was one order lower, but it was also a radiant flow, and it quickly recovered as before.

Whether such a strong skeleton is due to absorbing the residual essence of the four fierce beasts of heaven and earth or the sunset itself is unusual, or the combination of the two, Zhu Jiu can't be sure, and it will take a long time to verify.

Sunset's two claws resulted in two high-level corpse pawns, bowed their heads, swallowed the soul fire of the two corpse pawns, and reserved energy for their next evolution.

The two teenagers standing on the side screamed and fell because the soul fire of their respective demon corpses was extinguished, and the sea knowledge talisman was broken, and their souls were seriously damaged.

Zhu Jiu turned his head to look at the old monster in the center of the main hall, the old guy nodded slightly, Zhu Jiu had a trace of murderous thoughts in his heart, and gave the order to kill the sunset in his consciousness.

The setting sun immediately leaped out, and the two claws killed two teenagers.

Seeing the extension of the sunset soul fire, he began to refine the bodies of the two teenagers, Zhu Jiu's face was cold, and a trace of ferocity appeared on the young man's face, and he swept his eyes to the many teenagers in the main hall, and found that no one dared to meet his eyes this time.

Zhu Jiu had no sense of self-satisfaction in his heart, these people didn't dare to look at him, just because they were afraid of the strength of the sunset, once their strength exceeded the sunset, they immediately had a different face, and there was a sneer in their hearts.

The old monster's gloomy laughter sounded again in the hall, and the old fellow laughed for a while before he said with joy:

"It seems that the old man is lucky, and the two groups of supervision have good materials for repairing the law. In the next 100 years, this kind of of absorbing new people will no longer be regulated. Hey, come on, send Zhu Jiu to rest, he doesn't have to participate in the fourth round of assessment, and he will study directly in the Dharma Cultivation Hall tomorrow. ”

The old monster's words fell, and the old servant behind him walked out slowly, Zhu Jiu nodded and greeted the many examiners in the hall, and quickly followed the old servant and left quickly, and the sunset also followed Zhu Jiu and walked out of the hall together.

Zhu Jiu followed the old servant with a somewhat rickety figure, and passed through several majestic and wide halls and courtyards one after another, and found that the buildings here were mostly dark and dark colors, gloomy and silent, and there was an inexplicable depression while walking.

There are few people in the courtyard, and the occasional pedestrians are all hurried by, and they never see people talking to each other, which highlights the weirdness and solemnity of this place.

The old servant and Zhu Jiu walked straight for about half an hour without saying a word, and only then did they come to a palace building that was extremely wide and covered an area of several miles.

The whole body of this building is dark blue, there is a faint light flashing on the surface from time to time, like the sky and stars suddenly falling into the world, full of oppressive force, the architectural style is square and round, up to hundreds of meters more than that, standing in front of the temple, there is a majestic majesty that is difficult to see its top.

The main entrance of the main hall is open, and there is a huge ink-colored plaque on the door, on which are written three golden characters of the Dharma Cultivation Hall, which looks magnificent and noble, I don't know if it is an illusion, Zhu Jiu followed the old servant and passed under the plaque when he vaguely heard a wail coming from the plaque·····

After entering the main hall, Zhu Jiu followed the old servant and the two staff members in the hall to walk through the first floor of the main hall, received clothes and identity tokens and other disciple sundries, and was assigned to an independent room on the fifth floor, about 200 square meters in size, the interior decoration is elegant and comfortable, tables and chairs and other utensils are precious things, for the classical style, used as a daily living place.

After everything settled, the old servant, who rarely spoke, finally turned around and said to Zhu Jiu:

"You will have six years of study in this Dharma Cultivation Hall, and when you are sixteen years old, there will be an assessment to check your cultivation progress here, if you can be satisfied, you will become a personal disciple of one of the seventeen ancestors in the sect, otherwise, you will be assigned to the major outer halls and become a member of their command. Do you probably understand the difference?"

Zhu Jiu thought for a moment, nodded and replied quickly:

"The disciple understands, if you behave well here, you will belong to the direct strength of the sect, and the resources and opportunities are different from others, otherwise, you will be picked up by the major outer halls like those teenagers who are still participating in the assessment, which is more than a step worse than now. ”

The old servant seemed to be a little surprised, his cloudy old eyes looked at Zhu Jiu carefully, and his voice was still hoarse and low, and he said:

"Although your physical fitness is a little poor, but your mind is extraordinary, and your comprehension and soul power are also beyond the ordinary, but smart people often lack perseverance and determination to move forward, and they always want to take advantage of things. ”

Zhu Jiu was awe-inspiring, respectfully watched the old servant's rickety figure slowly walk out of the main entrance of the Dharma Cultivation Hall, said hello to the two staff members who followed him, and reflexively returned to the room assigned to him on the fifth floor.

In front of the door of the thousand-year-old wooden room stood three extremely respectful servants, two men and one woman, who were assigned as beginner disciples of Zhu Jiu's rank.

The two men were both in their twenties, and they were born strong, and the two of them were said to know the rules of the Corpse God Dao well, and they were assigned to Zhu Jiu to run errands and do miscellaneous use.

The remaining girl is just fourteen years old, her face is white, her face is a little baby fat, and her appearance is quite delicate, she is responsible for taking care of Zhu Jiu's daily life and rest.

All three of them were dressed in white, and they looked unusually clean and neat. Such a meticulous arrangement of the sect is so that all disciples can save all their time and concentrate on cultivating the Fa without worrying about trivial matters.

Zhu Jiu and the three of them had a brief communication, and Zhilu Dao was going to get the cultivation method tomorrow at the earliest, and the food was brought by someone, and the three of them were driven out of Lu by Zhu Jiu with a wave of his hand.

After the three of them left, only the sunset standing quietly remained in the room, and Zhu Jiu finally had time to be comfortable and alone for the first time after being reincarnated and awakened, and couldn't wait to take off a bronze piece from his neck that was tied to a metal chain.

The copper sheet looks like it is made of brass, the style is strange, simple and unpretentious, it is round, slightly larger than a coin, there are mottled traces of time and years on both sides, it looks extremely old, and it is hanging on the neck like a long-lived lock of a rich and noble family.

This copper piece is crossed with Zhu Jiu, and he has been kept around his neck by his grandfather since he was born in his last life, saying that it is called a corpse mirror, which is a kind of evil thing that people in Xiangxi have to ward off evil spirits.

Zhu Jiu looked at the corpse mirror again at this time, and there was a blood-related cordiality surging from the bottom of his heart.

Looking at the bronze mirror, Zhu Jiu muttered to himself:

"Are you protecting me from being reincarnated? You miss your hometown a little like me, well! Actually, this place is not bad, at least you can practice, opening a gap in the door of immortality that countless people have pursued for thousands of years. Now that we are here, we must live well in this world and try our best to go to the farthest end to see. If you have spirit, help me. ”

The bronze mirror of the corpse held tightly in his hand suddenly emitted a trace of heat, which made Zhu Jiu dangerous and unable to hold it, and the copper mirror that was getting hotter and hotter made him feel like holding a burning flame in his hand!
