Chapter 205 Original Soul
Black fog?

Song Wuji thought of the strange energy from the source.

It seems the waters are still quite deep.

The banquet was merely to entertain Meng Po, without granting her any authority over food and sustenance. It seems that this part of the banquet did not involve entertaining ghosts and gods.

However, having obtained two seven-colored flowers, twelve five-colored flowers, three-colored flowers, and a Great Dream Reincarnation Talisman, it was enough to make a profit.

Song Wuji continued walking forward and indeed arrived at Niejing Pass.

The full name of the Mirror of Retribution is the Mirror of Retribution Platform. It was originally the first stage before the judge would judge the souls that were detained in the Judge's Hall. The Mirror of Retribution was used as the basis to see how the souls should be judged.

Just as Marshal Golden Tooth had predicted, the Mirror of Retribution shattered, leaving only a defeated Mirror Spirit guarding the pass.

When Song Wuji went there, the mirror spirit seemed to be blind and just sat on the platform. There used to be a precious mirror on the platform, but now the mirror was cracked and many fragments were missing.

Even looking in the mirror, one can still see the cause and effect of a lifetime of sins.

It appears somewhat distorted simply because the mirror is broken.

Song Wuji took out the Magpie Double Mirror, hoping the mirror spirit would let him pass.

The spirit touched the mirror, put both mirrors into its mouth and ate them, after which its eyes regained some of their divine light.

She said, “I already know your purpose through the reflection of the Yellow Springs River, but my mirror is broken and cannot reflect sins or release karmic fire. If you want to complete the feast for ghosts and gods, you need to help me repair the mirror.”

Although Song Wuji knew in advance, he still found it troublesome.

The Mirror Spirit said, "I need to eat mirrors to replenish my essence, or perhaps you can help me find the lost mirror fragments."

Song Wuji said to the three skeletons, "Seniors, please help us search first."

The Golden Skull said, "This is too troublesome. I don't even have eyes, how am I supposed to find a mirror?"

Silver Skull said, "Yes, eyes are mirrors. I'm afraid she's taken a liking to your eyes. If you ask me, you should ignore this for now, bypass her, move on to the next level, and deal with her at the end."

The jade skull nodded and said, "As the saying goes, a broken mirror is hard to mend; how can it be repaired?"

Song Wuji said, "Actually, there are some."

The three skeletons asked, "How do we repair it?"

"Look at this mirror of evil, it looks like it's made of glass. Maybe it can be melted back into the crystal."

Song Wuji said, "It's just that the newly fused mirror is a bit smaller."

“I have Bing Fire, Ding Fire, and Samadhi Fire; I’ll try my best to burn him.”

The spirit of the mirror said, "The Mirror of Karma is no ordinary magic treasure. That kind of glass comes from the Thirty-Three Heavens of Separation and Hatred. There is a sea in the Sea of ​​Karma, and this crystal grows in the Sea of ​​Karma, which is called the Crystal of Karma."

"never mind."

Song Wuji said, "This is the only plan. I don't want to go to the mirror world. You can make do with it for now. If you don't want to make do, then keep breaking it."

Song Wuji also took out a seven-colored flower: "This is a spiritual flower planted by Meng Po. It has the power to grant wishes. When the time comes, you can fuse it with the flower and make a wish. It's the same thing. After you recover, you can go to the Mirror Realm to find the materials yourself. Is that okay?"

The Mirror Spirit remained silent for a while. Seeing that these three skeletons did not seem to be benevolent, she realized that if they hadn't reminded her, she would have indeed wanted Song Wuji's eyes.

But there's some truth to what Song Wuji said.

"Okay," she replied slowly.

Song Wuji then began searching the area around the Mirror of Karma, hoping to find some fragments of the Mirror of Karma.

He thought to himself: The Mirror of Karma can connect with karmic fire and is very effective against the demons of the eighteen levels of hell. Now that the Mirror of Karma is shattered, no wonder there are so many ghosts and demons in the human world. It is difficult for City God Tian to govern the first level of the Netherworld.

The fragments of the Mirror of Retribution ranged in size from about the size of a fingertip to as small as dust. The Mirror Spirit had already collected the largest pieces, so Song Wuji only needed to find the smaller ones. However, this required exceptional eyesight, and the Netherworld was so dim and gloomy that Song Wuji practically had his eyes glued to the ground, yet he only found three or four tiny fragments.

"It seems that the other fragments either crashed into the Yellow Springs River or scattered elsewhere. These few fragments are still a dish."

Unable to find any other mirror, Song Wuji could only find a stone by the Yellow Springs River. This stone by the Yellow Springs River was no ordinary object. Song Wuji used his "sharpening knife" supernatural power to grind the stone into a mirror, and he could see the reflection clearly.

Looking at himself through the Yellow Springs Stone, he saw that his youth had faded, and he was now an old, frail man on the verge of death.

Song Wuji cursed his bad luck, lamenting that the mirror made of Yellow Spring Stone actually possessed a bit of time-related power, able to reflect the appearance of an old person.

Beyond the stone mirror, Song Wuji also polished the Yellow Springs Pearl into small mirrors. These pearls were considered universal currency in the netherworld.

These all require a lot of effort.

After feeding the mirror spirits these mirrors, she sighed slightly and said, "You can do it now."

Song Wuji knew she was not very satisfied, but even if his family controlled the God of Fortune, they couldn't feed the Goddess of the Mirror.

The true fire surged, melting the fragments of the Mirror of Calamity. Those calamity crystals were extremely difficult to melt. It was only thanks to the addition of a banana leaf fan that could amplify Song Wuji's Samadhi True Fire and Bingding True Fire ten times that the Mirror of Calamity was barely melted and then laid flat in the frame of the Mirror of Calamity stand.

only……

When the mirror cooled down, Song Wuji couldn't help but chuckle when he saw it.

It turns out that the evil mirror had turned into a funhouse mirror, capable of distorting people's appearances, which was due to Song Wuji's poor craftsmanship.

Without waiting for a reminder, the mirror spirit rushed into it.

However, the part about feasting ghosts and gods was completed.

The mirror spirit didn't care whether it was a flat mirror, a concave mirror, a convex mirror, or a funhouse mirror. As long as it was made of karmic crystal, it was a karmic mirror, and it could be imbued with his karmic fire supernatural power.

The three skeletons said, "From now on, this mirror of karma will only reflect a confused self. When you see this appearance while your body is burning with karmic fire, you will be left with neither laughter nor tears."

Song Wuji said, "Anyway, it's broken. If I can fix it a little, that's already a good deed. Don't blame me."

Continuing forward, one will reach the test of family and friends, a test that is difficult for ordinary people to pass. However, Song Wuji had already passed it when he took the test of the Dream Soul Demon Golden Core.

What we see now is nothing more than a mound of yellow earth and a forest of steles.

Song Wuji had a clear conscience.

After taking out the sacrificial offerings prepared in advance for relatives and friends, and burning a lot of paper money, Song Wuji sighed, "Don't worry about it."

After the sacrifice, the authority to receive food and sustenance was restored to a certain extent, but the gatekeeper was never seen from beginning to end.

Next comes the test of one's true nature, where all that can be seen is a single soul.

The original soul of Song Wuji.

After the original Song Wuji starved to death, the current Song Wuji took over the body and transmigrated here.

Because the body was possessed, the soul became a wandering, ownerless spirit, lingering in this realm, unable to return to the mortal world or go through reincarnation.

Upon seeing Song Wuji, he sighed three times, "I am not as good as you."

Song Wuji never expected that this challenge would actually be the original soul of the body.

"Tell me the story of what happened after I died."

Song Wuji then told him about the changgui (a type of demon), tiger demon, pig demon, city god...

The hardships and dangers along the way now seem like nothing more than a few trials and tribulations.
