Exorcism

The Nanhai Forest returned to calm. Dai Zhen led a dozen Taoist priests to place heavy restrictions in the forest. The tree hall was completely occupied by the sword-washing pool. The dense branches and leaves above spread out, revealing the blue sky. Occasionally, white clouds passed by. The forest There are many birds chirping.

In the sword-washing pool, thirty-three Nascent Souls were still floating on their backs, breathing evenly, with their limbs curled up, sleeping soundly. Mu Dong'er also joined them, sleeping particularly deeply and snoring slightly.

Qing Lingshuang stood on the edge of the instant stage, watching the children floating around the stage. The corner of her mouth suddenly moved, and she changed into the voice of the dragon demon, "You just refused to let me say a few words to him."

"You like to give people random ideas, so it's better to talk less."

There is an obvious difference in the voices of the two. Long Mo has several ups and downs even in one sentence, and his emotions are as rich as ripe fruits. Qing Lingshuang is always calm, just like the sword washing pool, where stones are thrown in and sink directly. Bottom, not even a ripple will be produced on the water surface.

"Ha, is it wrong to like to come up with ideas? So far, each of my ideas is better than the last, and Mu Xingqiu has benefited a lot from me."

"You have your own purpose. The magic hole has been broken and your wish has been fulfilled. There is no need to come up with any more ideas."

"My next wish is to help Mu Xingqiu. You know better than me that there are not many people as good as him." Long Mo's voice became extremely gentle as she recalled the good times, "I'm here I have lived in his Niwan Palace and understood his every thought. He really liked you so much that it made me jealous. But you are dead and he is an ordinary person and cannot live in his memory for the rest of his life. They are also good people, they live a very hard life, and the son they gave birth to is a troublemaker..."

"Why did you give Mu Dong'er to the demon species in the first place?" Qin Lingshuang interrupted the dragon demon.

"You have been unwilling to share memories with me. Once you see my memories, you will understand everything. Haha, okay, let me try to explain that when Yang Qingyin was pregnant with Mu Dong'er, she was carrying the gift I gave her Divine soul, it is reasonable to say that the child born should be extraordinary, but although Mu Dong'er was born with Tao roots, it was condensed into a loose cultivation inner elixir. To be honest, I am a little disappointed, how can such a child grow up. How to survive in troubled times?”

"So you sent him to the Demon Seed for training? Aren't you worried that the Demon Seed would kill him directly?"

"No, I also had a demon seed in my body at that time, so I knew that the demon seed would be very interested in Mu Dong'er and would never kill him. Facts have proved that I was right. Not only the demon seed was interested, but also the demon soul. Intrigued, the Demon King even voluntarily ended his memory and sent the Demon Soul into his body.

Mu Dong'er just happened to drift by in front of her eyes. Qin Lingshuang waved her hand and took the soul back to herself, but she couldn't summon the demon soul. It was completely integrated with Mu Dong'er's soul and could not be separated at all. In comparison, the soul and Mu Dong'er's soul were completely integrated. Qin Lingshuang's fusion was much weaker. It was quietly stolen by Feng Ruhui many years ago, and even Grandmaster Pang Shan was unaware of it.

"Isn't he the true root of the womb?"

"He is born in the womb, but there is a slight deviation in his Dao root. He is not suitable for cultivating Taoism, but is more suitable for refining demons. It is not obvious yet. In a few years, Mu Dong'er may become a pure demon without any influence. A pure demon controlled by power will still be like this even without the help of a demon soul, but it will be delayed a bit. "

"Your plan is to make Mu Dong'er become a demon?"

"Haha, this is not called planning, this is called following the trend. More than 130,000 years ago, the devil gave birth to the Tao, and now it is the turn of the Tao to give birth to the devil. The Tao and the devil dislike each other, and they have to fight to the death. From the perspective of an outsider like me, Come on, they are a pair of brothers, fighting for inheritance... You won't be angry if I say that, right? "

"From the moment I broke the pill, I was no longer a Taoist priest. Like you, I am also an outsider."

Mu Dong'er floated away, frowning slightly, and seemed unhappy about the soul's departure.

"That's good, so I gave Mu Dong'er to the demon species, so that one day he can become a powerful helper to Mu Xingqiu. It seems that I thought too well, and now Mu Xingqiu is running for him."

"Another Demon King."

"What? Where did the other devil come from?"

"I'm talking about Yelin Town. A demon species came to Yelin Town back then. It was very powerful. It was said that it was on par with the Demon King. We were invaded by it, and Xiaoqiu gave birth to a Taoist root because of it. At that time, the spirit was still in my body. It was only later that Feng was attacked. Ruhui stole it..." Qin Lingshuang fell into memories.

"Are you saying that the reason why Mu Dong'er's viviparous Taoist root is different is because the Taoist root made by the soul is not pure enough? Well, it makes sense. Mu Xingqiu has never been like a Taoist priest, and then his son went further. In this way, Shen Xiuming's son Shen Cunyi should be a bit special. It's a pity that the others are dead... Ha, I know what you are thinking. Mu Dong'er should be the son of you and Mu Xingqiu, you two. They have all been invaded by the Demon King’s seed, and the offspring they produce will definitely be more outstanding!”

Qin Lingshuang turned around and flicked her finger at the ever-extinguishing furnace on the corner of the instant stage. A ball of fire the size of a fist flew out and fell into the pool, melting away like ink.

"My body has been destroyed long ago, what's the point of saying this?"

The Dragon Demon was silent for a while, "I've told you everything I know, so it's time for you to be more honest with me, right?"

"What do you want to know?"

"It's very simple. What on earth are you going to do to Mu Xingqiu?"

"Do you doubt that I will harm him?"

"Need." Qing Lingshuang said simply.

"I think……"

"What do you think?"

"I think you are testing Mu Xingqiu, and you like to be protected by him."

This time it was Qing Lingshuang's turn to be silent. After a while, she said: "I just hope he becomes stronger. It is his own business who he wants to protect."

"Hehe, the Taoist priests are trying their best to speculate on the future, but you just want to go back to the past. Alas, weren't you already heartless and abandoned your desires in the Frost Soul Sword?"

"I must be like that in the Frost Soul Sword, otherwise I will go crazy, and Mu Xingqiu will also go crazy with me because he frequently enters the sword. Now I live in your body and am affected by your emotions."

"You have paid too much for him." Dragon Demon said softly.

Qing Lingshuang suddenly saw Xiaoqiu riding a horse in front of her. He still had the face of a young man, slightly darker due to the wind and sun. His lips were tightly closed stubbornly, with a hint of panic in his eyes. He stretched out an arm and invited the girl The bride fled with him.

No matter what spell Feng Ruhui used at that time, the choice was made by the young man himself. So many people had had the same dream, but he was the only one who cared about it and took action.

"Not much at all." Qing Lingshuang said firmly, and there was a trace of unchanging stubbornness in her soul.

The dragon demon remained silent for a longer time, "This is not all your thoughts."

"What did you guess again?"

"It's not fair. I have something to say, but you always ask me to guess - okay, I'll guess again. You used the fire of the lunar calendar and the water of the sword-washing pond to repair Mu Xingqiu's inner elixir, and combined the three It turned into one, but it was stronger than before. You made the Patriarch's Tower more suitable for use as a talisman. You also taught him some new techniques so that he could write talismans on more things. Well, you really want it. He became stronger, became extremely strong, strong enough to fight against Kun Chaos side by side with you... Not only that, but also strong enough to surpass all living beings, just like Kun Chaos, strong enough to change his original intention. "

"The orthodoxy didn't even ask him to change. Do I have the ability?"

"It's not about whether you have the ability, but whether you think so."

Qin Lingshuang's face showed a little anger for the first time, "Do I have to be selfless? Yes, I hope Mu Xingqiu can return to my path. We must challenge Kun Chaos together, not to protect all living beings, but because Only Kun Chao is worthy of our challenge. Is it bad for all sentient beings? Do I have to pretend that I can't live without them? Is it bad for Xiao Qiu? He needs my help. As for the final result - he has No one can force him to change, but if he changes...if he changes, I won't stop him. You say Yang Qingyin is a good person, but I don't owe her anything. Even if she is a saint, it has nothing to do with me. "

"I'm sorry, I was too harsh. I just didn't want him to get hurt and I didn't want to see you disappointed."

"Disappointment...there must be hope first, then there will be disappointment."

Qing Lingshuang shut her mouth, and the dragon demon stopped talking. Although this was her body, she couldn't help but make the decision now.

Grandmaster Dai Zhen came from the woods, stood on the shore and saluted, saying "the fire of Tao will never be extinguished", Qin Lingshuang returned the salute.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, do you really want to challenge the Patriarch?"

"If I don't look for him, he will look for me."

"Do you need me to give you a reminder?"

"The Patriarch is practicing in isolation. He seems to feel that there are still powerful opponents in this world, but he is not sure of victory and must increase his strength again."

"This time, not even the Nine Great Treasures can help him."

"I took a look at your new method. It's very clever and powerful, but it's not enough to give up the treasure, far from it."

"Are you reminding me that I am still no match for Kun Chaos?"

"That's right."

"But you are still willing to stand on my side."

"The Patriarch destroyed everyone's Taoist heart. I didn't expect the result to be so disastrous. Look, even the Grandmaster became greedy for life and feared death, and the last trace of the Taoism was gone. I want to rebuild the Taoist heart, but the Patriarch will not agree. , so I can only stand on your side. After giving you a reminder, I also want to give you a piece of advice."

"Please say."

"Both the divine soul and the demonic soul are in your hands. It is possible for the thirty-three Nascent Souls to refine another immortal soul. This is the greatest wealth and your greatest hope of defeating the Patriarch."

Qing Lingshuang didn't speak.

"The number of Nascent Souls may not be enough. We have been refining for a long time but have not succeeded. If you are willing to listen to my suggestion, go to Fuhuang City to snatch the Nascent Souls there. After refining the souls, go to Duanliu City to fight Zuo Liuying. "

"Zuo Liuying?"

"Exactly, if you want to defeat the Patriarch or even meet the Patriarch, you must first pass Zuo Liuying. If you can defeat him easily, then you can challenge the Patriarch."

Dai Zhen took out a letter from his arms and said, "In fact, Zuo Liuying has already issued a challenge to you."
