Exorcism

Mu Xingqiu came to Zhuozhou City alone. The city had turned into a rubble field, and the northeast corner had been destroyed. Only a lone city tower was left, still squatting peacefully on a small section of the city wall. The roof of the building was gone, exposing In the entire local tripod, dozens of fulu masters were standing or sitting around the cauldron, all of them looking bored. Zhao Chuye stood on the edge of the tower, half of his feet on the outside, his Taoist robes fluttering. It was precisely because of his presence that the fulu masters Only then can we be so relaxed among the ruins.

Mu Xingqiu slowed down and landed slowly on the tower. The talisman masters looked at the visitor indifferently, and no one spoke. The nearest ones walked away and made room.

"You shouldn't have helped." Zhao Chuye said without looking back. Zhuozhou City was more than a hundred miles away from the valley, and he had seen everything that happened last night.

"Their spells are quite strange, and they are very inspiring to me." Mu Xingqiu found a reason for his meddling.

"The way of the weak." Zhao Chuye knew everything about the valley. He turned around and said to a talisman master: "What's your name?"

"Zheng Tianyuan." He was once controlled by Shou Que and sucked out a little blood from Zhao Chuye's body to help Huangfu Yanghao write the indomitable talisman in advance. At that time, he was knocked unconscious by the master's move.

"Tell me what you think about the way of the weak."

"Huh?" Zheng Tianyuan knew nothing about this kind of thing.

Zhao Chuye raised his hand and waved it in front of his head, sending a memory directly to Zheng Tianyuan's mind. For him, this was a very simple five-element water illusion. High-level Taoist priests often do this to low-level Taoist priests, which can save a lot of money. Time to explain without making mistakes by paraphrasing.

But Zheng Tianyuan was not a Taoist priest, he had no inner elixir in his body, and his state of mind was not that strong. The external memory was like a heavy hammer hitting his head, making him unsteady. He put his hand on his forehead and shook it a few times before he came back to his senses. He was both shocked and admired. His expression was flustered at first, but soon turned into a frown in deep contemplation, "Let me think about it."

Zhao Chuye shook his head helplessly. He chose this group of talisman masters and could only endure all kinds of inconveniences, "Tell me the purpose of your coming.

"I hope that mortals can come to Zhuozhou City to take refuge." Mu Xingqiu said.

Zhao Chuye looked at the ruins around him and said, "They can choose whatever they want. There is no owner here, and everyone can live here."

"I also hope that you can cast a spell to protect them, or you can pass me a spell and I will protect them."

"Wait." Zhao Chuye pointed at Zheng Tianyuan who was standing aside, indicating that the other party could speak.

"Is this the way of the weak? It looks like a kind of quackery: General Mu first pays a small price to win over mortals, and when his followers reach a certain number, I guess he will use evil magic to take the power of everyone into his own. , he finally recovered in a pool of blood, which was a hint." Zheng Tianyuan guessed that General Mu covered in blood did not move him, but made him believe that Grandmaster Xingshan was the only trustworthy backer.

Zhao Chuye waved his hands one after another, transmitting the relevant memories to all the Talisman Masters, and then said to Mu Xingqiu: "The higher the realm of Taoist priests, the more consistent their ideas. Even if they are hostile to each other, they can understand each other. Mortals have mixed hearts, and they often judge others by themselves. , this Zheng Tianyuan is jealous, and everything he sees and hears is naturally a selfish conspiracy. "

Zheng Tianyuan's face turned red and he did not dare to refute.

Huangfu Yanghao, the person who wrote the talisman, received the memory faster than others, and said: "I think this General Mu really wants to save the people. There are indeed such people in the world who think they have some kind of responsibility." It is an important mission. To achieve the mission, we will do whatever it takes, even if it means sacrificing our own life." He sighed softly, "It's a pity that he is a demon clan and a horse demon who can reveal his true form. Otherwise, I would not care. I really want to meet him.”

"This Huangfu Yanghao wrote the Talisman of Indomitable Heaven and Earth. He has made great achievements and will be useful in the future, so he feels very safe. The distinction between humans and monsters is more important than ordinary mortals."

"Of course it's important!" Huangfu Yanghao relied on his talent and arrogance. He couldn't change his temper even in front of the master. "Humans are humans and demons are demons. If we join forces today, the demons will eat humans tomorrow. The demon clan cannot be trusted. This General Mu may He is an exception, but according to his intentions, a large number of monsters will soon be introduced, which is bound to cause disaster. The more selfless General Mu is, the more humans will be killed in the future. "

The other Talisman Masters successively completed the reception of their memories. They spoke one after another with different opinions, but one thing was the same. No one believed that the so-called way of the weak could block the final Dao Fire attack. Even the mortals inside and outside the imperial capital Even if they get together, they can't accumulate spells that can compete with the ancestor Kun Chaos.

"To put it bluntly, the way of the weak still depends on the strong. Without General Mu sitting in the center, even if millions of people stand together, it will be useless. The night when the imperial capital was destroyed was proof." said a Talisman Master.

Huangfu Yanghao raised his arms and asked others to shut up. He was a little interested in this matter. "Wait a minute, if all mortals gather near Zhuozhou City, use this weak way to block the next water attack and wood attack." With the Ding Tian Li Di Talisman, can he escape the attack of Dao Fire just like us?"

The talisman masters nodded one after another, but Zhao Chuye remained silent and turned his gaze to Mu Xingqiu.

"General Mu was seriously injured and has recovered on the surface, but not on the inside. He cannot summon enough mortals. Unless a bigger miracle happens, he will not be able to withstand the next water attack and wood attack." Mu Xingqiu said, among the weak Tao is like the sapling on General Mu's chest. One day it will grow into a towering tree, but now it needs to be cared for, otherwise it will easily die.

The Talisman Masters were silent, and finally Zheng Tianyuan said: "Then we shouldn't save them. In troubled times, what is needed is the alliance of the strong, not the support of the weak. Also, this formation of the Way of the Weak will gradually strengthen, even if it can really persist. When that day comes, doesn't it mean that another strong person will be born? I mean, we have decided to follow Grandmaster Zhao, so there is no need to waste energy on cultivating another new strong person, right? No matter how you look at it, everyone will benefit in the end? It’s that sneaky General Mu.”

Zheng Tianyuan discovered that the grand master did not care about the personal character of Fu Lu Master. Whether it was selfish or selfless, it was the same thing in Zhao Chuye's eyes, so Zheng Tianyuan dared to express his opinions directly.

"Perhaps your family members are among the mortals saved by General Mu." Huangfu Yanghao said angrily, "Besides, there is nothing wrong with having one more strong man. The founder has disappeared, and the spells left behind are so difficult to deal with. He If I come back again, hum..."

No matter how violent Huangfu Yanghao's temper was, he would not dare to tell Zhao Chuye's lack of strength to his face.

Huangfu Yanghao fell silent. When he was writing the talisman, his family was destroyed, but he was not affected at all. He felt a little sad afterwards, but he suppressed it all, not wanting to appear weak in front of other talisman masters.

Zhao Chuye nodded, "They almost said everything I said."

Zheng Tianyuan smiled, thinking he had guessed the master's idea.

"It's different." Mu Xingqiu said. His observation of battle tactics was more direct and in-depth than what a memory could match. "The way of the weak does not involve attacking. No matter how many mortals General Mu gathered, all he had to do was to do it himself." Guarantee, I won’t participate in the battle of the strong.”

"Then there is no need to help them." Zheng Tianyuan said loudly, considering himself as the spokesperson of the Grandmaster, "Standing upright is just the beginning. From now on, we will follow the Grandmaster to challenge all the strong men in the world. What can a group of mortals who can only protect themselves do? What’s the use? Besides, it’s in General Mu’s hands, so it’s not all up to him to use it.”

Mu Xingqiu knew that was not the case. The Way of the Weak indeed had no offensive ability, but he could not explain it clearly and did not want to argue with Zheng Tianyuan. He turned to Zhao Chuye and asked, "What will it take for you to teach me spells?"

Zhao Chuye smiled slightly, "You still don't understand." He pointed at the dozens of Talisman Masters, "They are just mortals. Today's differences will be future divisions. That horse demon will never be able to gather the ideal number of people. Once in danger, After being lifted, even if it is only temporary, mortals will start to become suspicious. They will remember the identity of the horse demon just like the Huangfu Talisman Master. They will suspect the horse demon's ulterior motives like the Zheng Talisman Master. They will have their own purposes like all the Talisman Masters. My opinion. What you want to save is a pile of quicksand. Even if it is barely piled up, it will fall out sooner or later. "

Zhao Chuye walked towards Mu Xingqiu, his expression becoming cold and serious again, "All roads lead to self-improvement, and there is no way for the weak. This is an obvious truth. I know who this fake Mu Xingqiu is. His name is Jin Cu. Once upon a time It's Pangshan's Jintail Horse. After transforming into a demon, he claimed to be a king and gathered a group of demon soldiers. In the end, he was controlled by the demon species and became a prisoner of the Taoism, but the ancestor released them. "

"If you still don't understand, then I'm very disappointed. This horse demon is naturally ambitious and is willing to pay any price to gain the admiration of everyone. A character like his is most easily exploited by the strong."

"You mean the so-called way of the weak was passed down to him by the ancestor? Why? To create chaos?"

"I said, I won't speculate on the ancestor's intentions. Instead of asking me for spells, you might as well ask the horse demon how he attained enlightenment. That experience was quite interesting."

"But I still want to help him." Mu Xingqiu said, "Maybe we knew each other before, and when I regain my memory, I will regret not saving him."

Like all high-level Taoist priests, Zhao Chuye rarely gives unnecessary persuasion. Usually, he can see the results at the beginning, so there is no need to waste time. The demon soul depositor is an exception, but the persuasion should end here.

"You really want to learn my magic?"

"yes."

"Then let me cast a spell on you first. Since you are more willing to go down, then give me the demon soul."

"I never said the demon soul was in me."

"Let me cast a spell on you. Don't make any resistance. Regardless of whether the demon soul is there or not, I will pass on the spell to you. Think of this as a deal."

"Okay." Mu Xingqiu didn't care about the demon soul, but as soon as he agreed, he felt upset, as if he had made a huge mistake. This feeling was so strong that his face suddenly changed, and he wanted to Go back on your word.

Zhao Chuye smiled again.
