Exorcism

For a long time in the future, Xiaoqiu will regret his initial hesitation. When he saw the green light rising quietly, he did not immediately issue a warning. He felt that if he had called out earlier, the outcome might have been very different.

The Five Elements Master Li Yuechi has experienced hundreds of battles. He has killed more than 140 demons and captured nearly 300 demons in his life. He is among the best among his disciples. However, just a small mistake can lead to a big mistake.

The demon body is dead, the demon elixir has been harvested, and the demon seed has been eliminated. In all Li Yuechi's experience, this snake demon has been completely destroyed and turned into a pile of useless flesh and blood, which will soon be destroyed by animals of all sizes in the forest. Gnaw it cleanly.

The snake corpse lay upright on the ground, with two long giant teeth sinking into the soft soil. One of them suddenly emitted a ray of green light, like a timid larva popping up to check the situation.

Xiaoqiu blinked, wondering if she had seen it wrong.

The first person to react was not Li Yuechi himself, but the magic sword on his back, which flew into the air from its sheath and made a sharp chirping sound. The sound was much louder than the ringing just now. The teenagers exclaimed. All were submerged in it.

Li Yuechi was only a little late. He still had a smile on his face and planned to explain a few more words to the young people in the town. At the same moment as the sword swayed behind his back, he opened his arms and prepared to turn around and attack.

The green light in the snake's fangs suddenly grew stronger, and instantly expanded to be as thick as the snake's body, like a rampaging mad bull, passing by Li Yuechi.

Almost at the same moment, the magic sword turned over in the air and stabbed down, hitting the green light.

The thick green light swayed violently. It had no fixed shape and no organs, but the teenagers seemed to be able to hear it screaming. It was not an ordinary scream, full of dying fear and unconvincing struggle.

After a long time, the green light gradually weakened, but the magic sword couldn't hold on any longer. It made a final metallic sound and shattered into hundreds of pieces. There was still a faint green light left, and it quickly fled deep into the dense forest. After a while, Just disappear.

Li Yuechi sat down slowly, with a serious look on his face, as if he was thinking about some important issues. He did not chase the green light, but waved to the teenagers.

Xiaoqiu took the lead, and the teenagers moved closer, but their eyes were more focused on the snake corpse behind Li Yuechi, for fear that something strange would emerge from it again.

"It was my carelessness." Li Yuechi said, and his voice seemed to be fine. "If you become a Five Elements Mage one day, don't make the same mistake we did. You must thoroughly inspect the demon corpse from beginning to end."

"Can we also slay demons?" Xiaoqiu asked with her eyes wide open, an idea and expectation that she had never had before arose in her heart, and her voice was trembling with excitement.

The other teenagers, like him, looked at the Five Elements Mage expectantly.

Li Yuechi smiled slightly and did not answer the question directly, "I am not responsible for recruiting disciples, so I can't say whether you are suitable or not. But I hope you will do me a favor. Someone will check whether you have Tao roots in the future."

"Tao root is an essential quality for a monk. It is unique." The officer said, hoping to show his erudition and impress Li Yuechi deeply.

Li Yuechi smiled.

Yelin Town has little contact with the outside world and is almost closed. There are only some absurd rumors about Taoist priests. The teenagers have never heard of "Tao Root" and do not understand its meaning, but the awe in their eyes still increases a lot because of this. .

The officer glanced at the teenagers and thought that these boys were really stupid. Li Yuechi's meaning was very clear.

No one among them has Daogen. "If you want to ask someone for help, I can..."

"You just saved us, we should help you, right?" Xiaoqiu rushed to say, and the friends around him nodded quickly.

Er Shuan squeezed in front of Xiao Qiu, "Tell me, my father is a guard and can help with anything."

Hearing the word "guard", the officer showed great disdain. He finally remembered that Er Shuan's fist was very hard, and he forcibly suppressed the groan.

Li Yuechi nodded happily, "I hope you will hand something over to Grandmaster Pang Shan."

"What?" Er Shuan asked.

Li Yuechi took a deep breath slowly, closed his eyes slightly, then opened his mouth and spit out a ball.

The round ball was like a pigeon egg, slightly yellow, faintly shiny, greasy, and seemed to be stained with saliva. The teenagers felt a little disgusted when they saw it. Er Shuan involuntarily took half a step back and gave up his position. To Xiaoqiu.

"Give it to Grandmaster Pang Shan." Li Yuechi said, his voice suddenly weakened, as if all his energy was vomited out along with the ball, "This is my inner elixir, don't give it to anyone. Don’t mention it to anyone.”

The inner elixir fell into the palm of my hand. The strange thing was that it was not wet at all, almost weightless, and slightly warm. Other than that, there was nothing unusual about it.

Li Yuechi lowered his head, as if about to fall asleep, and then took off the small cloth bag around his waist, "This is for you."

Xiaoqiu took it blankly, feeling a little strange, "You..."

"Swallow it." Li Yuechi said, feeling that time was getting less and less.

"What?"

"Swallow the inner elixir. It cannot be exposed outside for too long." The officer explained for Li Yuechi. He had a slight understanding of the importance of the inner elixir. Because of this, he did not rush to accept it.

Er Shuan was originally a little jealous of Xiao Qiu's bravery, but now he was very glad that he took half a step back.

Xiaoqiu looked at the inner elixir in his hand and felt very embarrassed about what he was about to do. It wasn't until he noticed that Li Yuechi's face was getting darker and darker that he made up his mind, raised his head, held his breath, and swallowed the inner elixir in one gulp.

Fortunately, there is no special feeling and no weird smell.

Li Yuechi was a little relieved. He had done everything he could do. There were always countless accidents in this world. Even a very capable person could not predict or control them. He could feel at ease.

"Take that lamp and follow it. It will protect you. I have been attacked by a demon species and cannot accompany you." He said, lowering his head.

The teenagers waited for the Five Elements Master to continue speaking, but he remained silent. For a long time, Xiaoqiu slowly stretched out his hand, breathed, and suddenly retracted his arm, "He is dead."

The teenagers took several steps back at the same time, all with stunned expressions on their faces, and then looked at the officer in unison. Only he could explain this strange phenomenon: the Five Elements Mage was just hit by the green light, and there were no wounds on his body. How could he die now? Woolen cloth?

The officer's pale face showed that he was as surprised as everyone else. He coughed twice and said, "I have said that the devil is a bad thing. He may have been poisoned, so he warned us to stay away from the devil."

The officer was not sure at all, but the young man believed them all. Only Er Shuan still had doubts: "It is obviously green light, why is it called a 'devil seed'? It doesn't look like a seed at all."

"This is... this is the name of the Taoist sect." The officer's explanation began to become mysterious, and he rattled off many nouns, but the teenagers could not understand a word of it.

"It's a pity that the devil escaped a little bit." Xiaoqiu said.

"What should he do?" Daliang pointed at Li Yuechi. The Taoist priest was still sitting cross-legged on the ground, as if he was taking a nap.

"He is so powerful, he may not be dead." Xiao Qiu still has a glimmer of hope.

"Ha." The officer accidentally revealed a contemptuous tone again, "He even handed over the inner elixir to you, that is because he knew that he would definitely die."

Xiaoqiu walked up and tested his breathing again. Li Yuechi's skin was already a little cold, "Let's bury him."

"I think we should leave the forest immediately." The officer looked around worriedly, "Maybe the demon species will come back."

Xiaoqiu ignored him and went to take off the small oil lamp hanging on the branch. What was strange was that the light that originally shone evenly in all directions suddenly changed to only shine in one direction.

After seeing snake demons and demon species, such strange things still made the teenagers of Yelin Town admire them, and finally understood what Li Yuechi meant by "follow it".

The teenagers were looking for branches everywhere to use as digging tools, and even Er Shuan pulled out his long sword. Only the officer stepped aside, with his hands behind his back, showing no intention of helping.

"You come too." Xiaoqiu said.

The officer shook his head firmly, "No, this is not the job I should do."

"You are a prisoner and you have to do whatever you want."

The officer still shook his head, "I haven't learned anything and I don't know how to dig. I won't do it."

Xiaoqiu wanted to speak, but Er Shuan walked over and showed his fist, "Do you want to dig or not?"

The officer timidly backed down, hesitated for a moment, and finally gave in, "You are the son of the guard. You should learn more to convince others with virtue and use less fists..." He bypassed the second bolt, found a small branch, and dug with everyone. pit.

The ground is full of rotten leaves, making it easy to dig, but not beyond a foot deep. The roots are so intricate that even with specialized tools, it is difficult to make progress.

Several teenagers took action, lifted Li Yuechi and carefully put him into the pit.

Daliang touched the body a few times.

"What are you doing?" Xiaoqiu asked.

"He has so many treasures, why are they gone?"

The officer didn't help much, but he was so tired that he was sweating profusely. He still couldn't help but sarcastically said, "It's so rare. Except for the magic sword, the Five Elements Master's treasures are all stored in a treasure bag. How can he hide them on his body?"

Everyone's eyes fell on the bag on Xiaoqiu's waist.

Xiaoqiu patted it twice and said, "He said this was given to us. When we get out of the forest, we will share it equally."

When no one was paying attention, the officer curled his lips and concluded that these teenagers were uncivilized little savages.

When the hungry teenagers walked out of the forest, it was already broad daylight. They returned to the same place and stood at the corner of the official road. The traces of the fight between the snake demon and the Xuanfu army had disappeared.

The oil lamp in Fangfang's hand seemed to know that her task had been completed and went out automatically.

"What's next?" Daliang asked.

Xiaoqiu scratched his head. He had been thinking about this issue all the way, and said to the officer: "Do you know the way to Pangshan?"

The officer was stunned and immediately said: "Well, of course, Pangshan is one of the Nine Great Traditions and is famous all over the world... If you want to go to Pangshan, you have to go to Xiaoerbao first. There is a post station there at ww.ns.co, and it is smooth to go to Pangshan. ”

"He's lying again." Er Shuan pushed the officer away, "Let me tell you, let's go back to town first. My dad must know where Pang Shan is."

"Fangfang and I..."

Er Shuan waved his hand, indicating that he had considered everything, "You and Fangfang are still hiding in the old crazy woman's house."

"It's Granny Feng." Fangfang corrected in a low voice.

"Yes, Granny Feng's house. Let's go back to town and find out more about it before we set off together."

The other teenagers all agreed with Er Shuan's plan. In fact, their playfulness had already been exhausted and they just wanted to go home immediately. As for whether they should go to Pangshan with Xiao Qiu, that was something to consider later.

"Okay." Xiaoqiu nodded reluctantly.

The officer forced himself to smile, "I don't need to go to Yelin Town, right?"

Er Shuan pushed the officer again and said, "The prisoner is still talking so much, you have to come with us."

As the teenagers embarked on the road back to their hometown, they all felt refreshed at the thought of arriving home this evening. No one could predict that something big was about to happen in Yelin Town, and it would no longer be the home they remembered.
