Exorcism

Mu Dong'er was sleeping soundly in his father's arms, his face was pink and tender, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness, and he was having sweet dreams. But this was just an illusion. His body was hot and cold. When it was cold, it was like a thousand years of ice. Time was like burning coals. Without an extraordinarily strong body, Mu Xingqiu would not have been able to hold him.

"Why did you leave me behind?" Mu Xingqiu asked. He had been confronting and fighting Yang Yannian before, but he didn't have time to question him, and now he had time.

Nanhai Forest is located two thousand miles to the south and is not close to the sea. It is too risky to use the Patriarch Tower to reach the forest. Mu Donger may not be able to bear it. Qin Lingshuang used teleportation to bring the father and son to the north of the forest two hundred miles away. On a barren mountain to the left, she was standing on the top of the mountain looking south, detecting whether there were any spell restrictions around her.

It was just after midnight, the stars and moon were bright in the sky, and the mountain breeze was gentle, bringing with it the fragrance of flowers and plants.

"If you can find us, it proves that you have the ability to protect Mu Dong'er. If you can't, it means you don't have the ability."

"You...you just want a proof?" Mu Xingqiu thought this reason was a bit ridiculous.

"Exactly." Qin Lingshuang answered seriously.

Mu Xingqiu stared at her face for a while, "Is this the dragon demon's idea?"

Qin Lingshuang didn't answer. She and the dragon demon share the same body, so they naturally advance and retreat together.

Mu Xingqiu shook his head, filled with doubts, especially what was his previous relationship with these two women? The words came to his lips and he swallowed them back. He shouldn't know too much about the past, and he was even a little timid about it. Finally, he said: "Do you really have a way to cure him?"

Mr. Yishi predicted that Mu Dong'er would not survive midnight. He managed to survive, but he still didn't wake up, which was not a good sign.

Qin Lingshuang withdrew the spell. Nanhailin's defense was not tight. They were still more than a hundred miles away from the first level of restriction.

"Did you hear what Yang Yannian said about divine souls and demonic souls?"

"Um."

"In the final analysis, the demon soul is also a will. It comes from a certain practitioner in ancient times. After being possessed by the demon kings of all generations, it has memories, but these memories belong to the demon king, not the demon soul.

Mu Xingqiu nodded. There is one advantage of losing the memory of the past: he can accept various explanations without raising too many questions.

"The last reincarnation of the Demon King was my father." Qing Lingshuang paused, her memories were all there, and the past suddenly came to mind, "More than two years ago, he was cornered by Kun Chaos in the imperial capital."

"It is said that he re-entered reincarnation and temporarily escaped Kun Chaos pursuit. He will awaken in twelve years, which is less than ten years from now."

Qin Lingshuang shook her head, "I have been unable to defeat Taoism in countless reincarnations, so what will happen again? Not to mention that this time the enemy is more powerful. No, reincarnation is no longer the devil's plan. I guess he made another choice."

Mu Xingqiu understood, "The Demon King abandoned his memory, leaving only the Demon Soul, hiding in... Dong'er's body?"

"It's very possible that this is more reasonable than reincarnation. Mu Dong'er was also in the imperial capital at that time and had been invaded by demon species for many years. He was very suitable to receive the demon soul. The most important thing is that he had a mother who loved him and a mother who loved him. A father who would protect him at all costs.”

"I heard Mr. Yishi say that I am not a good father... If there is no memory, will the demon soul still be a demon soul?"

Qin Lingshuang showed a smile, "This is what made the Demon King unexpected. He refused to die in the hands of the Taoist priests, but chose to commit suicide, leaving only his immortal soul."

"Suicide? Can't he reincarnate without the immortal soul?"

"Perhaps, but that is not the choice of the devil." Qing Lingshuang looked at Mu Xingqiu, feeling for the first time that there was a thin barrier between the two. Some things seemed to her so clear and straightforward that no explanation was needed. , but he looked confused.

He has lost his memory and is like a newborn walking in the world. It is naturally difficult to understand the Demon King who has been reincarnated for hundreds of thousands of years. Qin Lingshuangneng said, "The Demon King has experienced almost every kind of life, and he is already tired of it."

Mu Xingqiu reluctantly hummed, thought for a while, then looked down at Mu Dong'er, "Without the memory of the Demon King, what is the remaining immortal soul? What is the difference between it and the divine soul? Why can Kun Chaos still detect it? to its existence?”

"There is more to guess here. Qin Lingshuang summoned the Patriarch's Tower and began to cast spells on it. She had just learned a few tricks and needed to try them. "I know more about the soul, and it is not that great: The first is immortality, which can be stored in the bodies of all things in the world, more like humans or monsters; the second is understanding, with the help of which one can easily understand the most profound and profound methods. "

"Based on these two points alone, the soul is already very impressive."

Qin Lingshuang smiled, "As for the Demon Soul - let's call it the Demon Soul. Although it no longer has the memory of the Demon King - it is also immortal, but its will is not understanding, but conquest."

"Of course, many founding kings and many founders of sects all have the will to conquer. As long as there is a slight possibility of success, they will take risks just to one day dominate all living beings. The devil soul is to conquer, and those who possess it would rather die. He is independent in the world and does not succumb to others. When the memory of the devil is reincarnated with the devil soul, he never dares to live too long, because when the devil soul is completely awakened, the devil will not be able to settle for the status quo, even if he does not challenge the orthodoxy. , also want to become the king of men.”

Mu Xingqiu looked at his son in surprise.

Qin Lingshuang smiled again, "Don't be afraid. Conquering is not a bad thing. It is the same as understanding. It is a will that everyone has. Some people are more obvious and some are more secretive. Long before being possessed by the demon soul, Mu Dong He is not a child who is willing to obey others. After having the demon soul, it only makes his will stronger. He is still young. When the demon soul is fully awakened, he will grow up, and he will do everything possible by then. He wants to improve his practice because he can't stand anyone who is stronger than him."

"Is this the Demon King's revenge plan?" Mu Xingqiu finally understood.

"I guess that's the case. The Demon King killed all his memories, but he will never forgive his enemies." Qin Lingshuang didn't say something clearly. The reason why the Demon King stored his immortal soul in Mu Dong'er's body was It is very likely that he is interested in not only the child, but also the child's father. Mu Xingqiu is mature in mind and strong-willed, and the demon soul cannot live in it, but he will spare no effort to protect his son, and at the same time he is protecting the demon soul.

Mr. Qin had observed Mu Xingqiu and of course he knew what kind of person he was.

Mu Xingqiu looked down at Mu Dong'er again. The demon soul was just a will and did not change the fact. Mu Dong'er was still Mu Xingqiu's son. He remembered clearly that this might also be one of the demon king's spells. Let him never forget his son, but the spell did not lie.

"Kun Chao wants to kill all living beings. He is the enemy of all living beings, and naturally he is also my enemy." Mu Xingqiu hugged his son tighter.

Qin Lingshuang was not surprised at all, "So you see, conquest is not all bad. If there is a person like Kun Chao, there must be someone who can defeat him."

"What kind of person will Dong'er become in the end?" Mu Xingqiu had only a little doubt in his heart.

"The end? There is no end. If Mu Dong'er becomes the second Kun Chaos, then sooner or later someone will defeat him. The stronger the person, the more he hopes the world will remain unchanged. From this point of view, the strongest people are enemies of the world. , no need to think that far.”

Qin Lingshuang handed the Patriarch Tower to Mu Xingqiu.

Mu Xingqiu didn't answer, "You need to use it."

"Give me the magic clock and you use it."

Mu Xingqiu took over the tower, summoned the Demon Suppressing Bell and handed it to Qin Lingshuang. There was still a thin layer of light on the bell, and several brighter talismans. Together, they trapped the treasure to prevent the Demon Suppressing Bell from returning to its old owner.

"You know so much, your guesses are all facts in my opinion." Mu Xingqiu said sincerely.

"I spent a long time thinking about these things, and I have a soul." Qing Lingshuang said lightly. In her most lonely moments, the soul was not around, but her understanding was still stronger than most people, "I used some pills. I used some medicine and some spells to temporarily save Mu Dong'er's life. He will have to rely on himself in the next few days. The practitioner's injuries can only heal on their own. I lent my soul to him, just to provide a little help. "

Mu Xingqiu wanted to say "thank you", but felt that these two words were too simple to express his gratitude, so he nodded and gave a slightly stiff hum.

Qing Lingshuang looked up at the stars and moon above her head and felt that it was almost time, "Yang Yannian left a mark on the Demon Suppressing Bell. Neither my spell nor your talisman can hide it for long. He will find us soon." , we have to take action in advance.”

"Okay, I'll fight in the front line, please take care of Dong'er."

Qin Lingshuang summoned the small incense burner that contained Taoist secrets, "No, you stay here this time. There are three records in the burner related to the talismans. They may be helpful to you. Learn them as soon as possible and go to Nanhai Forest to find me before dawn."

"There are three masters in Nanhai Forest, and you are alone..."

"We are two people. I will find a way to remove the mark on the Demon Suppression Bell, and you can use it as a talisman from the Patriarch Tower."

Qin Lingshuang's tone was not harsh at all, but it had an irresistible power. Mu Xingqiu did not argue anymore, "I will find you as soon as possible."

"With the new talisman, I need you to be stronger than you are now."

Qin Lingshuang added a few more spells to the Demon Suppressing Bell, jumped up, and flew towards the Nanhai Forest two hundred miles away.

Mu Xingqiu stopped thinking unnecessarily, sat on the grass, let Mu Dong'er lean in his arms, and began to look at the Taoist secrets in the incense burner. Qin Lingshuang had already selected three for him and translated the magic text into ordinary characters. Mu Xingqiu read it carefully, and one of them recorded the method of how to turn the magic weapon into a talisman pen. The other two were not directly related to the talisman, but how to use the Taoist treasure.

There are only a few records about talismans in Taoist secret books.

Time passed little by little, and Mu Xingqiu found Zhao Chuye's memory in his mind. There were many early Taoist talismans there, which were much more powerful than the Longbinhui talismans that Mu Xingqiu learned from Fulin. From them, he He selected a few talismans that were supposed to be very powerful according to records, practiced them several times silently in his mind, and stood up to help Qin Lingshuang.

Mu Xingqiu tried his best to save time, but more than an hour had passed, and it was not long before dawn. He picked up Mu Dong'er and flew to Nanhailin as fast as possible, still thinking about the newly learned talisman on the way.

The two-hundred-mile journey was quickly completed, and the Nanhai Forest was just ahead. The forest that was once an ocean was now only a thousand acres left, and you could see it in mid-air.

Mu Xingqiu found it strange that there was no restriction outside the Nanhai Forest, and there was no sign of fighting within the forest. Everything seemed to be over.
