Exorcism

The Taoist priest's spell came too quickly, and the white bird and red dragon arrived together. Even if Mu Xingqiu had a hundred fingers, he had no time to write the talisman on it. The two magic beasts hit the target at the same time and collided with each other, causing an earthquake. A big explosion filled the sky with smoke and dust, rocks rolled down, and ponds overturned. I don’t know how many small fish and shrimps suffered.

The casual cultivators had to retreat again, getting further and further away from the battlefield.

Di Yuanfu and Shi Gen didn't look at each other, and snorted softly at the same time. They said they were joining forces, but they were still wary of each other. The reaction in their spells was that they showed off their power regardless of priority.

The two of them were only a hundred steps away from the foot of the mountain. The smoke quickly spread over and surrounded them, but they could not get past the restriction by half an inch. They were unable to get within ten steps, so they had to leave in frustration and continue to surge forward.

The two Taoist priests were more than twenty steps apart. A puff of smoke rushed through the middle. To the Third Eye, this was an obstacle as thin as a veil. They could see each other clearly: the demon bones on Shi Gen's chest were regular. There was a thud on the ground, and Di Yuanfu's hand on Yuanying's neck tightened tighter. Yuanying's face turned red, his hands and feet danced, and a fire was held in his chest, but he was restrained by magic and could not be released.

This will be a life-or-death blow. It is impossible to hide in a fight at this distance. The two of them are not only competing for the stronger offensive power, but also the tenacity of the defense. Whether to attack or to defend is all a matter of a thought. If you make a mistake, both sides will be hurt or even killed.

No one was going to admit defeat and retreat. They had abandoned their Taoist heart and Taoist responsibilities, and only their pride remained with them, more deeply ingrained than before.

"Wait a minute." Shi Gen was indeed slightly stronger than Di Yuanfu, and he was the first to notice the anomaly, "Is Laoyue Mountain made of dirt? There is too much smoke and dust."

Di Yuanfu turned his eyes and took a look. The smoke was indeed a bit strange. Although it was inspired by the Taoist priest's magic, it was surging layer by layer. It was endless. The momentum did not weaken, but became stronger and stronger. He looked a little further away. Go, even the third eye feels hazy.

Di Yuanfu was shocked, and just as he was about to speak, Shi Gen, who was more than twenty steps away, cast a spell first.

A ball of red and black light came towards his face. Di Yuanfu was disheartened for a moment. He was just a little late and already completely defeated. However, he still moved the jade sword on his left hand. The trapped beast was still fighting. Even if he couldn't hit the opponent, he couldn't just let it go. Waiting to die like this.

What happened next was beyond their expectations. Logically speaking, the red and black light group should have arrived immediately, but when it passed through the smoke and dust in the middle, it actually slowed down, but it took only a blink of an eye to catch Di Yuan. It was a life-saving moment. He was finally able to cast a spell, set a restriction on himself, and at the same time forced the Nascent Soul to spit out flames.

The flames slowed down for a moment as they passed through the smoke, and then they passed by Shi Gen's spells. The two spells each hit the enemy's restrictions, crackling loudly, and there were more sparks in the smoke and dust.

The restriction was quickly broken, and the offensive spells were weakened as a result. Next, the two Taoist priests had to use their bodies to resist each other's offensive. Victory or defeat, life or death, all depended on this.

Unexpectedly, these two spells were extremely weak. They moved forward feebly without any murderous intent. At first, the two Taoist priests thought it was the other's trick and did not dare to be careless. Until the smoke outside rushed into the restricted area ahead of the spell. , pounced on them, they realized that there was indeed a "trick", and the culprit was another person.

"Horse demon!"

"He's not dead yet!"

"It's all because you didn't use your full strength!"

"You interfered with my spell!"

The two of them were arguing while casting spells to disperse the smoke. While they were on guard against each other, they were also looking for traces of the horse demon. They were a little timid and failed to do anything. It took a while for the smoke to dissipate and they saw Qingming again.

There are luxuriant weeds all around, and solitary peaks stand tall. The casual cultivators have fled more than ten miles away, and the horse demon has disappeared without a trace.

The two looked at each other for a while and sneered mockingly at the same time.

"Master Di has a good spell, he can turn the Nascent Soul into a stubborn stone."

Di Yuanfu glanced at him and his face turned red. The Nascent Soul that he was holding tightly in his left hand turned into a long stone. He was also a Taoist priest with great power. He didn't feel at all when the thing in his hand was changed. .

The best way to get rid of the embarrassment is to make the other party a joke. Di Yuan suppressed the shame and anger in his heart, threw away the feldspar, and said coldly: "The stone head is not bad at all. Demon bones can be turned into wood, which is admirable."

Shi Gen also took a glance and found that the demon bone protecting his heart had been replaced by a piece of dead tree bark. He was furious in his heart, but burst out laughing, "Fellow Daoist Di, we were mistaken and were killed by a horse demon." Just kidding, how can you and I have the dignity to walk around the world from now on? Let’s find a secluded place and commit suicide.

"You can kill yourself if you want, but I won't accompany you. The horse demon used a blinding method. If you hadn't restrained me, I would have killed him long ago. He can't run far, and I will find him even if I search all over the world. ”

"Okay! Know your shame and then be brave. We suffered a hidden loss due to our carelessness. No matter where the horse demon comes from or what his backing is, we have to get our face back."

"We?" Di Yuanfu looked at Shi Gen with disdain.

Shi Gen had a smile on his face, "Fellow Daoist Di, you don't really think that the horse demon alone can take away the Nascent Soul and Demonic Bones from under our noses, do you?"

"Hey, Ma Yao's words are not entirely trustworthy, but there must be a backer behind him, maybe nearby." Shi Gen glanced around and said seriously: "Fellow Daoist Di, you can either stay away from right and wrong and ignore worldly affairs, or you can be brave and diligent. Never give up. If you want to fight for Yuan Ying and fight alone, you will never succeed. "

"Then I don't need to join forces with you." Di Yuanfu did not hide his disgust.

"Fellow Daoist Di, do you think it is easier to find a backer by one person or by two people? The chaos in the world will not last long. Zuo Liuying convened the Nascent Soul Conference to explain that the founder is about to come out again to create a new Taoism. People like us It’s probably difficult for people to enter the Patriarch’s Dharma Eyes, so they have no choice but to cling to other strong people, and they have to be quick, otherwise they won’t even be qualified.”

Di Yuanfu was even more contemptuous of Shi Gen, but he had to admit that what he said made sense. He pondered for a moment, "Do you have a connection?"

"Two spiritual Taoist priests together have connections everywhere."

"We must deal with that horse demon first. I don't care who the backer is behind him. I will not be a man unless I take revenge."

"Okay!" Shi Gen praised, "With Nascent Soul as a greeting gift, more doors will be opened to us."

The two of them gave each other the Taoist courtesy and called each other "Fellow Taoist". This was considered as putting aside all previous suspicions. However, their impressions of each other did not change. One felt that the other was vulgar and shameless, while the other secretly laughed at the other as being stupid and deceitful.

Di Yuanfu summoned nearby casual cultivators and ordered them to find the whereabouts of the horse demon within one day.

Mu Xingqiu did not escape too far. Long Binhui's talisman lacked the ability to teleport, and his flying skills were not fast and concealed. He used the talisman to perform Earth Escape three times. At this moment, he was sitting by the river forty miles away, with the body around him. The Nascent Souls in black looked at each other.

The restraint of the talisman was relatively weak and could easily attract the enemy's attention. Mu Xingqiu simply did not use it and only used vegetation to cover his figure. If the two spiritual Taoist priests climbed up to the sky and watched carefully, they would be able to see him and Nascent Soul.

"What's your name?" Mu Xingqiu asked.

Nascent Soul remained silent. His appearance was no different from that of a two-year-old child, but he was slightly thinner. The most obvious feature was not the red mark on his forehead, but his eyes, which were too precocious and revealed the scrutiny and vigilance that only adults can have. .

"Can you speak?" Mu Xingqiu asked again.

Yuanying opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

"Do you recognize me? I've lost too much memory. I can't even remember things from the past." Mu Xingqiu always felt that there was something familiar in the other person's eyes.

I don't know if Yuanying understood it. His eyes seemed a little confused, but then he spit out a ball of fire at Mu Xingqiu.

Without the help of the Taoist priest's magic, Yuanying's flames were fierce, but not delicate enough. Mu Xingqiu grabbed his right hand and took the flames into his hand. After a while, he opened his palm and revealed a bright red bead. .

"Perhaps you have forgotten many things like me, even your previous body." Mu Xingqiu used the spell-absorbing technique to condense the spells in the flame into a bead, but it could not last long. The magic power inside the bead must be released as soon as possible. He pointed on the bead with his left hand and wrote eleven talismans in a row.

The beads burned, but the fire was not very strong. The grass and trees within several miles around grew wildly, and groups of bright butterflies flew out of the grass. These were all ordinary small spells. Mu Xingqiu used them to consume external mana.

Nascent Soul showed obvious surprise.

"If I use these mana to write rain begging talismans, I can write at least fifty talismans, enough for a family of five to use for three to five years. Unfortunately, I don't have ready-made talisman paper in my hand." Mu Xingqiu stood up, the spell might attract people. Mind you, he has to go.

He threw the burning fire beads in his hands onto the dead wood he had just sat on. The wood was not ignited, but began to squirm, shaking off debris, climbed onto the river surface, and turned into a small boat.

The power of talismans is not as powerful as Taoist spells. If Mu Xingqiu had not possessed the physique and blood of the Yuemang realm, no matter how fast or good the talismans he could write, he would not be the opponent of a Taoist priest. However, Long Binhui has developed an extremely large number of auxiliary talismans. It can be used in all aspects of daily life, and most of the more than two thousand kinds of talismans that Fulin taught him fall into this category.

Mu Xingqiu liked these little spells very much.

Yuanying was not very interested. What he cared about was that the other party could catch his own flames with his bare hands.

He breathed another ball of fire from his mouth.

Mu Xingqiu raised his hand to catch it, "Stop playing, you will get into trouble."

Nascent Soul spit out another ball of fire, and Mu Xingqiu caught it with his left hand, "It seems no one taught you how to be obedient."

Nascent Soul spit out four more balls of flame in succession. Mu Xingqiu had three more fire beads in each hand. He could hardly hold it anymore and said sternly: "Do you want me to write some talismans on you?"

Yuanying pointed to the fire bead in his hand and wanted to return it.

Mu Xingqiu thought for a while and threw one to him.

Yuanying took the fire beads and examined them carefully, then stretched out his hand to ask for the remaining fire beads.

Mu Xingqiu jumped onto the boat and waited for Yuanying to catch up before saying to him: "I can only give you one first. After this one disappears, I will give you the second one."

The fire beads can last for a quarter of an hour, and Mu Xingqiu hopes that Nascent Soul will get tired of playing with it by then.

Nascent Soul probably understood what he said, so he threw it back casually, and the fire ball turned into a long flame, pushing people and boats like arrows from a string and rushing out for more than a mile. Then he looked up at Mu Xingqiu again, with a smile on his face. This was probably the first time since he was born that he felt the joy of a game.

Mu Xingqiu kept his promise and gave him the second fire bead.

After the six fire beads were used up, the boat sailed seven or eight miles. Mu Xingqiu looked in the direction of Laoyue Mountain, believing that their whereabouts had been leaked, "Since you don't have a name, let me give you one... It's really troublesome. Take Jiang as your surname and Huo as your name. From now on, your name will be Jiang Huoer, do you understand?"

Yuanying was still unfinished, licking his lips as if he wanted to spit out fire, but Mu Xingqiu had already seen the figure of the casual cultivator on Laoyue Mountain in the morning light.
