Chapter 4, The Qiankun Dragon Seeking Mirror

In just a moment, I felt a wave of emptiness wash over me. My spiritual energy was almost instantaneously drained completely.

Tonight, I still have to go to the county magistrate's house. Naturally, it is impossible to input any more spiritual energy. I put away the Qiankun Seeking Dragon Mirror and began to meditate in a cross-legged position

Before the rooster could even let out a cry of lament, it directly began to kick its legs

I held a weasel in one hand and a large rat in the other, bringing my second uncle and the county magistrate's wife back to the second floor. I placed Baofu on the ground and then set the large rat on Baofu's chest

I lifted two chickens and threw them over. Holding the other end of the rope, I sat on the sofa as if I were fishing

Moments later, the knocking at the door ceased, but on the second floor, Bao Fu let out a heart-wrenching scream. This was immediately followed by the sound of objects being knocked over onto the floor

"Director Li, please open the door"

Right now. I suddenly pulled the red string, and the live knot on the rooster instantly tightened around the neck of the weasel. With another tug, I lifted the weasel into my hand

The county magistrate stood at the door, his expression changed, trembling uncontrollably while holding a lighter

Indeed, it is a weasel. The corners of my mouth slightly curled upwards, yet I remained silent, holding one end of the red string.

"Elder sister, this is the wandering spirit of Baofu. You should call it quickly, and be sure not to scare it away." I said slowly while staring at the mouse. When I first came here, I noticed a sinister aura at the entrance. Then I discovered the scratch marks at the bottom of the door. I initially thought they were made by a spirit, but it seems now that it was this mouse.

At my furious shout, Li Baofu suddenly let out a piercing scream. The sound was akin to the mournful cry of a night owl. With hands clawed, he charged towards my fingers.

County Chief Li shook hands vigorously and then said: "Brother, I won't say anything more. This matter is settled, and I will definitely express my gratitude generously."

You need not worry about this; just go back and prepare a bit. The cold woman slightly curled the corners of her mouth into a faint arc

I swiftly took out the red string and wrapped it around my index and middle fingers. Taking a step forward, I pointed at Li Baofu and shouted angrily, "You demon, how dare you come to disturb us, why don't you leave!"

Attempt to infuse spiritual power into the bronze mirror. The surface of the mirror trembled for a moment, and shortly after, a small red dragon, about the length of a chopstick, slowly floated up from the mirror.

A brown figure was running back and forth between the county magistrate's wife and the county magistrate

The large rat stared at the county magistrate's wife, appearing somewhat fearful. After a while, it cautiously approached her.

Returning to Director Li's room, two roosters were flapping about on the floor of the living room. The fire pit was also ready, only lacking a spark to ignite it.

At the entrance, there squatted a mouse that was about the size of a kitten. Its pair of eyes looked pitifully into the room

The weasel savagely drank a mouthful of chicken blood, and with lingering desire, it looked towards another rooster. No longer hesitating, it bit down once more. Half of its body was intertwined with that of the rooster.

Hmph! Hmph! The weasel reacted too late. With its paws clasped in front of its chest, it mimicked a human's gesture of holding fists, while its eyes looked at me pitifully, pleading for mercy

I smiled faintly and quietly led my second uncle downstairs. The scene of this mother and son reunion was still not lively.

Li Baofu's face began to flush momentarily. After about two to three minutes, Li Baofu slowly opened his eyes and looked at the county magistrate's wife, who was shedding tears profusely.

I sat on the sofa and gestured for County Chief Li to light the brazier

I quickly reached out and touched the mouse. Instantly, the mouse became rigid, still resembling its lifeless form from many days ago. A uniform black aura slowly coalesced in the air, taking on the shape of a treasure.

I hold the method in my hands and recite the incantation with my mind

I exerted myself even more, forcefully pressing my finger against Li Baofu's forehead.

Director Li and his family of three came down after about ten minutes. Wiping away tears, he said, "Master, you are the savior of our family!" As he spoke, he was about to express his gratitude.

The phone call from my second uncle came in: "Ni Ge, I am at the door"

Chirp chirp chirp chirp! The weasel, having listened to my words, cooperatively called out and pointed towards the door with its paw

In the living room, the county magistrate and his wife, along with the second uncle, were wide-eyed and trembling all over, yet they dared not move a muscle

"Beast, considering that it is not easy for you to cultivate spiritual intelligence, I will temporarily refrain from punishing you. Tell me, where is the host's wandering soul?"

Xu Zhouzi is indeed a legendary master of the Daoist sect. I never expected to inadvertently acquire him today. I have truly stumbled upon a treasure

As I watched my departing figure, the perpetually cold woman slowly spoke: "Master Qian, if that copper mirror were present, how confident would you be?"

The little red dragon slowly opened its eyes and lazily glanced at me, then stretched out its small claws and yawned. It curled up and surprisingly began to doze off on its own.

I hung up the phone and went outside, only to see a middle-aged man in his thirties standing next to my second uncle.

"Wait a moment, regardless of what happens, you must not move." After giving the instructions, he directly went upstairs.

At that time, Li Baofu was anxious and agitated, and he loosened his belt to feel more at ease. Unexpectedly, after a stream of urine soaked the earthen mound, it collapsed halfway with a rumble

The weasel circled around the two roosters twice. It propped itself up, quite human-like, resting its paws in front of it while looking around. Finally, unable to resist any longer, it cautiously took a bite at one of the rooster's necks

Only now did I see clearly that this fellow had a coat of glossy tawny fur. Its body was similar to that of a large cat. The tail was thick. The mouth was pointed. Its broad, shiny black eyes were darting around like those of a fava bean.

I hurriedly stood up to stop him: "Just call me brother, I am the nephew of Er Jiu, so we don't need to be too distant. However, while Bao Fu's illness has improved, we still need to consider how this weasel got involved. Only after resolving this can we avoid any trouble"

The spirit's gaze instantly became dazed. Its form transformed once more into black mist, following the guidance of the seven candles and entering the Baihui point of Baofu.

Yet I heard a crackling sound, and the moment it touched my fingers, it felt as if I had been electrocuted, causing my whole body to tremble

Suddenly, a brown figure shot out from behind Li Baofu's neck, darting away in an instant down the stairs

After struggling for two or three minutes, the red candles were also brought over. The candles were lit according to the corresponding positions of the seven orifices.

At this moment, Li Baofu was already lying limply on the ground. It seemed that there should be no issues. Only then did I turn around and head downstairs

The county magistrate's wife stood in the center of the living room holding a lantern. The dim light made the living room appear somewhat dark.

The sky quickly darkened

The back of the bronze mirror prominently features four ancient and elegant characters: Qian Kun Xun Long. In the lower right corner, there are also three smaller characters. Upon closer inspection: Xu Zhou Zi

Baofu's health still remains somewhat weak. He slowly began to speak about this matter.

For some reason, that bare mountain peak had only one earthen mound that seemed relatively concealed. Upon approaching, I discovered that it was actually a temple dedicated to a deity.

There are seven lamps, and the seven orifices lead to the path of return. Wandering souls roam between heaven and earth, yet do not hasten to return. I raised my hand in a ritual gesture and pointed again at the wandering soul floating in the air

At that time, Li Baofu did not pay much attention to it. Unexpectedly, after returning home, he had a dream that night. A weasel stood in front of him, sternly questioning why he had destroyed its home. When he woke up, he found that he had transformed into a mouse

Mother and child are connected at heart! Upon hearing my words, the county magistrate's wife immediately cried out with a trembling voice: "Baofu, is that really you? Come in, both your father and I know now, we won't hit you anymore."

The chubby middle-aged man immediately said respectfully, "Miss, if there were that bronze mirror, I would have a six-layered confidence. However, this young man's cultivation is clearly above mine."

"Ni Ge, this is County Chief Li," Er Jiu hurriedly introduced.

I reached out and grabbed the large rat in my hand, only to smell a putrid odor, which made me frown. I quickly said, "County Chief Li, hurry and find seven red candles, I need to perform a soul transfer. It will be too late if we delay."

This is merely an interlude for me. Returning to the house, I carefully took out the copper mirror and gently wiped it with a cloth

Place the fire pit at the entrance. Let the county magistrate hold the lighter and simply wait here. As for the two roosters, I made a noose with red string along their chests and put it around their necks. The other end is fixed to the side of the sofa.

Half an hour later, this bronze mirror finally appeared renewed. My eyes also brightened once again

The county magistrate quickly agreed. He took out the phone and dialed.

As I pushed open the door, I saw Li Baofu let out a piercing scream, curled up in the corner of the wall, his hands stretched out like fighting cats. He bared his teeth and emitted a growling sound towards me

Releasing the Qiankun Dragon-Seeking Mirror, I fell directly into the chair. I was puzzled as to why I was only at the second rank of cultivation. Even with a mid-level magical artifact, I could still manage it. It seems that the Qiankun Dragon-Seeking Mirror is at least a high-level magical artifact.

County Chief Li, with his calves still trembling and his hands slightly shaking, opened the main door. However, he let out a sharp scream and fell to the ground with a thud.

I smiled as I shook the county chief's hand and said: "County Chief Li, you are being too polite. I am just a junior, so there is no need for any titles like master. I will just call you brother."

The heavens and the earth are vast and desolate, the soul is divided into three parts, the living soul endures, while the dead soul undergoes reincarnation. The wandering souls have yet to return! Urgently, as commanded!

At that moment, the brown figure suddenly came to a halt

"Isn't this the mouse that was driven away three days ago?" the county magistrate's wife shouted while holding up a lantern

Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang! The door was immediately filled with urgent knocking sounds

The two roosters, which were originally quite spirited, began to tremble all over as soon as they were thrown out, lying on the ground without daring to move at all

County Chief Li did not put on any airs; instead, he respectfully extended his hand and said, "Master, I am truly grateful that you are willing to help my unworthy son"

Upon examining the mirror again, the fine crack seems to have shortened slightly. It appears that this Qiankun Seeking Dragon Mirror is not beyond control, but rather requires spiritual power for restoration

Until it approached the feet of the county magistrate's wife, the large rat finally relaxed its vigilance and clutched the county magistrate's wife's ankle, refusing to let go.

On that day, Li Baofu and his friends went to Wulong Mountain for a visit. At that time, Baofu felt a bit urgent to relieve himself, and since there were several young ladies in the group, he had no choice but to find a secluded spot.

The chime of twelve o'clock arrives as scheduled
