Exorcism

Thirty-three Nascent Souls plus one Mu Dong'er were floating slowly in the sword-washing pool. All of them had their limbs curled up, their faces were reddish, and their mouths were smiling. They were either lying on their sides or on their backs, sleeping soundly.

From time to time, a puff of green smoke would appear from the Instant Stage, and the smoke would condense into a talisman-like pattern in mid-air, which would not dissipate for a long time. In the eternal furnace located in one corner, the lunar fire burned evenly, like a whole piece of light red crystal. The large bright mirror in the middle overflows with light, spreading around like ripples.

Qin Lingshuang stood in front of the mirror, staring motionlessly. What she saw was not her own reflection, but the faces of others, including the Nascent Soul in the pool, and people she had known before, including her parents, relatives and friends in Yelin Town, Pang Shan Her fellow disciples, some demon clans she has met... She really doesn't know many humans and demon clans.

Mu Xingqiu's image did not appear in the mirror for a long time.

The Dragon Demon sighed, "Why bother? You finally survived, why do you have to torture yourself? I can give my body to you. Really, I may have chosen your image just for this day. I am a true illusion. I can live well in any Dharmakaya - I can turn into a male body, like Mu Xingqiu, and all problems will be solved in one go..."

Qin Lingshuang raised her arm and pressed lightly on the mirror. The ripple-like light was disturbed and slightly scattered, but even more grand. The light of the setting sun filled the entire tree hall, and people, stones, water, and trees seemed to have come to life. A layer of gold foil.

"Okay, if you don't want to mention him, I won't talk about it." The dragon demon reluctantly surrendered. This is her true phantom body, but she is not the owner now. "We seem to have caused big trouble. Kun Chao must pay attention." When it comes to you, I may personally come to kill you, and I will be buried with him. Alas - I am not sighing for myself...a little bit, but mainly for you. You should live a hundred years, and Taoist priests should live a thousand years. ”

"Kun Chaos will not come." Qin Lingshuang said with certainty, and pressed lightly on the mirror. From then on, the mirror only reflected the images of Yuanying and Mu Dong'er in the pool in turn. The great treasures are spread in the world just to cultivate strong people. I am not strong enough now, so he will not take action himself. "

"I've always thought I was pretty smart, but when I'm with you, why do I always feel like I'm not using my brain enough?"

"You are very smart, but there are some things that you have to experience in person.

"Hmm...you mean that my level of cultivation is not high enough, so I can't see through the world of the strong? Tell me what you have to say, I can bear it. Anyway, being the strongest has never been my pursuit. Please try to explain to me For a moment, maybe I can understand.”

Qing Lingshuang was silent for a while, during which she pressed her hand on the mirror more and more frequently, so the light in the tree hall became thicker and thicker, as if a sunset was gradually getting closer.

“Do you know how to get rid of weeds in your fields?”

"Do you want to use an analogy? Haha, I like it, but I don't know how to weed. I have lived in Mu Xingqiu's Niwan Palace since I was a child, and I know a lot about the 'weeds' in his mind. Things in the fields, I Don’t know anything.”

"When they first sprout from the ground, there is not much difference between weeds and crops, and even the sharpest-eyed farmer may not be able to tell them apart."

"Well, I understand, just like Taoist priests, they are no different from ordinary people when they are young. They become more and more outstanding after learning to practice... Aha! I understand what you mean. Kun Chaos uses the method of pulling out seedlings to encourage growth, but in his opinion, he What grows are bad seedlings and weeds, and they will eventually be wiped out.”

"Heroes come out of troubled times, so Kun Chao creates a troubled world. Heroes don't take the ordinary path, so Kun Chao helps them pave the way. He actually doesn't care whose side these 'heroes' are on, whether they seek refuge with him or fight against him. It's all the same, he just wants them to show up."

"No wonder Kun Chao reused Zuo Liuying." Dragon Demon closed his mouth and said after a while: "Then you helped Mu Xingqiu become stronger, didn't you fall into Kun Chaos' trap?"

"Fell into a trap? You still don't understand Kun Chaos plan: He walks at the front and guards the only pass. Everyone, no matter where they come from, which path they choose, and what thoughts they have, must eventually get here. If you become stronger at the pass, you will fight Kunchao. If you don't become stronger, you will be swallowed up by the troubled times. What Kunchao wants in the end is not some kind of crops, but an open space. What could be simpler, more perfect, and closer than an open space. Taoist heart?"

"Oh, I really can't understand it. According to this, why doesn't Kun Chao just kill all living beings and divide them between crops and weeds?"

"I believe this was Kun Chaos original plan, but when he discovered that there was hidden power in this world, he changed his mind. Since demon souls and Taoist priests can be reincarnated, it means that there are rare seeds deep underground, and they only They will sprout when the time is right, and the chaotic world created by Kun Chaos is an opportunity to kill all living beings. These seeds may find another outlet, but it will be harder to capture."

"Is Kun Chao a madman?"

"At the end of the road, they are all crazy."

Long Mo didn't speak again for a long time. She was thinking about how far Qing Lingshuang would go on her own road.

The image in the bright mirror was fixed as Mu Dong'er. His eyelids were blinking, as if he was about to wake up from a deep sleep.

"Poor little guy, you are also a 'hero' in troubled times, and I have been busy 'lifting' you up a bit." The dragon demon's mind turned to Mu Dong'er again, "Oh my God, even if I can defeat you in the end Kun Chao, how many more people are going to die?”

"A lot." Qing Lingshuang had no intention of comforting the dragon demon. She flicked her finger on Mu Dong'er's forehead in the mirror, flicked her finger again, took another step back, and stopped after five times.

Mu Dong'er in the pool was still floating and sleeping soundly, but he in the mirror had opened his eyes and looked out blankly.

Qin Lingshuang kneaded the Tao Fire Technique with both hands, protecting her heart with her right hand and her abdomen with her left hand. She said to the person in the mirror: "Since you have been reincarnated, don't be half-hearted. You are Mu Dong'er, and Mu Dong'er is you."

The person in the mirror stared at Qing Lingshuang coldly without saying a word.

"That's what I thought at first, but Mu Dong'er's power has not been activated for a long time, so I realized that the demon king has not completely given up. He gave up most of his memories, but there is still a little left, waiting for an opportunity to resurrect and refine the demon body. . If my guess is correct, Mu Dong'er must have practiced the Demon Lord's method."

"Where did he get the Demon Lord's Zhengfa? Mu Xingqiu has been...ah, it must have been taught to him by that bastard Yin Buchen."

Qin Lingshuang retreated to the eternal furnace, reached into the furnace, and grabbed a ball of lunar fire.

The fire burned quietly in her hands. She closed her lips tightly and made a slight painful hum in her nose. This was the voice of the dragon demon.

The last reincarnation of the Demon King was Qin Lingshuang's father. To him, this was a less important memory. He had completely forgotten it at this time. When Qin Lingshuang looked at the person in the mirror, there was no father-daughter feeling in her heart.

She put her arms forward, and a small ball of lunar fire flew out from her palm, hitting the surface of the large light mirror, like a stone falling in the mire. She paused for a while, then slowly sank in, facing the mirror. The forehead of the person in the mirror, three inches from here, is the location of Niwan Palace.

The person in the mirror showed a furious look and twisted his body desperately, but there was not much room to move under the restraints of the big bright mirror, and he could only watch the fire of the twelfth lunar month invade the Niwan Palace.

They are both lunar fires, but have different properties. The magical fires emitted by Yishijun and Yang Qingyin are like lone soldiers. They are strong and well-equipped with armor, but they may not be the opponents of street gangsters because they are used to fighting with their comrades. Fighting side by side, both sides and rear are protected, so you don’t have to worry about it. The non-extinguishing furnace is one of the nine great treasures of Taoism. It has been continuously infiltrated by mana for hundreds of thousands of years. The fire of Taiyin is a well-trained and almost incompetent force. A broken army.

The small ball of fire penetrated into the forehead of the person in the mirror, leaving only a small tail still exposed.

The devil's last vestiges of consciousness are extremely stubborn.

Qin Lingshuang waved her hand, and the talisman-shaped green smoke emitted by the instant platform turned into a wisp of smoke and rushed into the mirror. It followed the tail of the lunar fire and penetrated into the head of the person in the mirror.

After a while, the fire and smoke completely penetrated. The person in the mirror's eyes bulged, and his body slowly expanded, especially his face, which was distorted and looked even more furious.

The large bright mirror quickly retracted the light scattered in the tree hall. In the blink of an eye, the surrounding light was lost, it was dark and colorless, and the person in the mirror disappeared.

"How is it?" Dragon Demon asked with concern.

"I have temporarily sealed the demon king, and I can't completely eliminate it until I gather the nine treasures."

"What a sinister demon king. I actually sympathized with him a little bit."

"No matter who it is, there must be a glimmer of will to survive at the last moment." Qin Lingshuang walked to the edge of the instant platform and looked at Mu Dong'er, who was still floating.

The Dragon Demon endured and endured without asking what Qin Lingshuang was thinking at the moment when she used the Pill-Breaking Technique.

Mu Dong'er and the thirty-three Nascent Souls stopped. The other children were still sleeping soundly. Only Mu Dong'er opened his eyes, blinked twice, and tried hard to fly. After failing, he said to the woman on the stone platform: " Which aunt are you...?"

"Qin Lingshuang."

Mu Donger fell into a coma for a few days, full of doubts in her stomach. At this time, there was one thing she cared about the most, "It's so cold in the water. I want... I want... to pee."

"Be patient and take all the cold air into your body. It will be good for you."

"Come in and give it a try. The water is as cold as ice. Even the coldest time in the Land of Monsters is not so uncomfortable."

Qin Lingshuang was about to speak when a dark wind suddenly blew from outside the forest. Wherever the wind passed, the trees fell over and rotted like paper, turning into ashes and being swept into the wind.

The great bright mirror shined brightly again, the instantaneous stage erupted into green smoke again, the unquenchable furnace flames shot up several feet, and the three treasures simultaneously blocked the invading evil wind.

The wind stopped, but the ashes did not fall. They were still rolling in the air, vaguely revealing the head of a huge centipede. "What a treasure. Four treasures and dozens of Nascent Souls. What a rare feast."

"You have to have enough appetite to swallow it." The dragon demon spoke up.

The centipede laughed twice, like the bark of a tree cracking, "Look at my hors d'oeuvres."

A person flew out of the swirling ashes and hit the ground heavily at the edge of the tree hall.

Hongshan Grand Master Dai Zhen lay there motionless, his face haggard.

At this moment, Mu Donger shouted: "I can't stand it anymore!"
