Exorcism

After wandering around the Immortal Collection, Mr. Pan roughly figured out the prince's likes and dislikes, and successfully won the favor of His Highness. However, this sense of accomplishment disappeared the moment he entered the house, and the practiced smile on the veteran's face turned. For coldness.

"It's that woman!" Mr. Pan stared at the broken statue on the table.

"Sorry, I couldn't stop her." Xiaoqiu felt really guilty. Sun Yu showed her hand too quickly, and he didn't have time to speak.

"No, it doesn't matter." Mr. Pan seemed clumsy in front of the young man for the first time, "I can have another one. Someone will give it to me at the party, and it's free of charge."

Xiaoqiu motioned to Xin Youtao to say goodbye with him.

Xin Youtao didn't notice the veteran's emotional change at all. As soon as he left the inn, he asked, "How is it? Is she willing to help?"

"Well, in the next few days, she will find a way to notify me."

"Ha, I didn't expect that she is quite easy to talk to." Xin Youtao looked at Mu Xingqiu who was not very excited, "What conditions did she put forward?"

"I have to remember this favor from her."

"Is it that simple?" Xin Youtao was surprised, "Did she say how to repay the favor?"

"Teach her all the mind-reading techniques I have learned in the past ten years."

This was the result of bargaining. Xin Youtao thought for a moment and said, "It's reasonable, but a metropolitan priest actually asked a disciple to teach her magic... strange, really strange."

In the darkness, more than 20 young and middle-aged men lined up in a row, holding torches and steel forks, and hurriedly walked outside the market. Pedestrians on the road gave way.

"The wolves are here again, there are just a few people... Why haven't the Xuanfu Army arrived yet?" A worried voice came from the crowd.

A shopkeeper ran out of the store. Standing on the roadside, he asked everyone in the team: "Is there a statue of God?" Most people nodded. A few people shook their heads, and these people were immediately given a small statue of the god. The recipient carefully put the statue in his arms, and then the steps he took seemed to be bigger.

"Wolves?" Xiaoqiu was very surprised.

When the wolf hunting team passed by, Xin Youtao took Xiaoqiu and continued to move forward, saying nonchalantly: "There are many wolves in the mountainous area, so it's not a big deal.

Yelin Town is located on the border, and Xiaoqiu has heard many stories about wolves. “I thought wolves only harassed densely populated areas in late winter when food was scarce.

"

"It's hard to say. There are always stupid beasts who can't tell the difference between seasons and dangers. Why are you interested in wolves? It's just a trivial matter."

"I just... forget it, let's not talk about it." Xiao Qiu felt that she would be laughed at by the prince if she thought too much.

"No, tell me and listen." Xin Youtao became interested.

The two of them had already walked out of the gathering of immortals. Under the prince's repeated urging, Xiao Qiu said, "Didn't that Demon King Qi Wushang degenerate into a wolf?"

"That's it?" Xin Youtao disagreed. Holding back his disdainful tone, he said seriously: "The demon wolf is completely different from the ordinary wolf. For example, Qi Wushang, the entire family has been transformed into human form for many generations. Even if he does not have the demon pill, he will not become a wolf." . Pang Shan must have cast other spells while seizing the pill to reveal the appearance of his ancient ancestors. As for ordinary wolf trouble, it happens almost every year."

"But this is Pangshan."

"Hey, there are beggars outside the palace walls. Will the princes and princesses go to chase them away in person? Of course, it is the soldiers and petty officials responsible for patrolling the streets who do this kind of thing. Wolves and tigers are a problem. Even wild boars can be a problem. Taoist priests and If the Xuanfu Army is busy doing these things every day, no one will care about the real demons. The people will only complain and think that the people above are lazy if they don't see it, and they don't know who protects them. "

On this issue, the Yelin Town boy and the prince had completely different views. Xiaoqiu had no intention of arguing, but he somewhat understood why veteran Pan Sanye and the residents of Xianrenji believed in the ancient gods. The small clay statue was probably Their only hope.

Halfway through the walk, an idea suddenly popped into Xin Youtao's mind, "This is a great opportunity!"

"what chance?"

"Try to find out who will be the betrayer and informer."

Xin Youtao likes Mu Xingqiu's magnanimity. It would be better if this magnanimity was specifically directed at the prince himself. Since Mu Xingqiu trusts all his partners without distinction, Xin Youtao really thinks that he is a bit pedantic and stupid, so he takes it upon himself to say, "This matter Just leave it to me, as long as you don't let me know."

On the way, Xin Youtao talked a lot about the difference between trust and credulity, and finally said: "Don't you think Mu Xingqiu of Yelin Town and the disciples of Pangshan Taoism are equal? ​​Then let me tell you, the various rules of Pangshan Taoism , half is for practice, and the other half is to test the loyalty of the disciples.

"Why are there not as many people practicing the Heaven-defying technique as the Heaven-defying technique? Because all major traditions do not support it. Think about it, if we all practice like we do now, will we still be grateful to Pangshan in the future? Ancestor Feng summoned you to the Nianxin Department for this reason. Alas, Shen Shang didn't lie. The Five Elements Department will definitely call Guan Shenyue back, and he will soon feel the meticulous care of the leader. "

Xin Youtao's tone was sharp, but his guess was accurate.

Guan Shenyue stayed in Muma Valley to add night ingredients to Xiaoqiu, but did not leave after that. He practiced Nuzu Bone Forging Fist in the open space in front of the house. Although he had only learned it for a few days, he was already playing in a orderly manner. When he saw Xiaoqiu leave Entering the valley, he did not stop until the set was completed before stopping and standing.

"I want to tell you something."

"You said it." Xiaoqiu nodded.

"Is everything going well?" Guan Shenyue just remembered Xiaoqiu's purpose of going out today and asked absentmindedly.

"It went well. Let's talk about you first." After the prince's indoctrination, Xiaoqiu had already guessed what she would hear.

"The Five Elements Department wants me to go back. Someone came to inform me just now that Chief Yang Xi wants to see me tomorrow. I..." Guan Shenyue lowered his head, his face slightly red.

Xiaoqiu's reaction was different from what the prince expected. He never made too high demands on his friends. So I didn't feel betrayed, but I was very happy. "You should go back."

Guan Shenyue raised his head in surprise, "Actually, I haven't decided yet."

"Decide." Xiaoqiu encouraged: "I will go to the cardiology department, and you will go to the Five Elements department. From now on, the rest of us will be admitted to various departments at Laozu Peak. This is our goal in the first place, isn't it?"

Guan Shenyue was even more surprised. He suddenly straightened his body and said in a formal and exaggerated tone: "I will go to see the chief tomorrow. But I will not return to the Five Elements Department immediately. I have to wait two months to complete the application process. Shang’s fighting style.”

The next morning, Guan Shenyue went to Laozu Peak alone. Zhou Ping and others talked about his good luck, but Xin Youtao cast a meaningful look at Xiaoqiu. During the lunch break, he found an opportunity to give Xiaoqiu a stack of Good paper. He whispered, "You don't need to sacrifice the Fire God Seal for this. Just go tonight and I'll look after the horses for you."

Xiaoqiu said goodbye early in the afternoon, and Yang Qingyin and others wished him a safe journey.

Xin Youtao deceived everyone and said that Sun Yulu would take Mu Xingqiu into Yangshen Peak at night, and the meeting place would be the Xianrenji Inn. He handed Xiaoqiu a welcome talisman, which would be used as long as someone was nearby to cast the spell. For example, if someone eavesdrops or peeks, this symbol will make a sound.

"There won't be Taoist priests in the Immortal Collection every day, right? Let alone every Taoist priest casting spells, right? So you go to Pan San'er's place and wait. As long as the paper talisman makes a strange sound, it means that someone is watching you, which can prove that we There is an informer among this group of people. As for who it is, we will find out later."

Xiaoqiu is on the road. Even without Xin Youtao's eloquence, he still had to be cautious. Sun Yulu was Pangshan's guest, and he never wanted his behavior that broke the rules to be discovered by the host. If there was an informer among his friends, Xiaoqiu hoped to find it out earlier.

Master Pan welcomed Xiaoqiu, and the princess's reply letters had just arrived, one to his brother, one to Mu Xingqiu, and a large box of items.

In the letter, the princess expressed her aristocratic calmness and elegance, thanking Mu Xingqiu for his help, and was very satisfied with Xin Youtao's current practice progress. She was very well-informed, and some of the things she mentioned even happened more than ten days ago. In the second half of the letter, the princess introduced the talisman and equipment she had sent.

Xiaoqiu opened the box, and there were eight sets of lightweight leather armors and helmets neatly stacked inside. They were all in the same style: they were pieced together from large pieces of khaki leather. They seemed to have very weak protection. They might not even be able to block ordinary arrows. , there are no complicated talisman patterns on it, only a fist-sized round mirror is set at the center of the front and back. The material of the mirror is a bit special, not like copper or iron, it is black and shiny.

The helmet is even simpler. It is just a belt with a high center and tapered ends. It can be tied on the top of the head like a forehead wiper. It is very suitable for the hairstyle of a Taoist priest in a high bun. It can only protect the forehead and temples. There is a small one in the middle of the front. ruby.

If she hadn't read the princess's letter first, Xiaoqiu would have been disappointed with these armors, but these seemingly useless things are said to have miraculous effects on defensive spells.

"Are they expensive?"

"Of course, it's not only horribly expensive, but the key is that this thing is very rare, but it's not very useful for the demon's brute force. The Xuanfu Army generally doesn't use it and can't afford it."

Xiaoqiu closed the box, "Then I have to be careful. I have to return it to the princess afterwards."

"Yes, you have to return it. There are probably only a few dozen sets in the entire Xijie Kingdom. It is impossible to give you eight sets." Mr. Pan shook his head and couldn't help but look at the young Taoist priest a few more times. He couldn't believe that the princess was like this. Value him.

Xiaoqiu smiled and pointed at the statue on the table to change the subject: "Are you going to get a new one?"

"Yeah." Mr. Pan was slightly annoyed, but he didn't say much. Instead, he persuaded Xiao Qiu, "You should also want one. There is no conflict between the ancient gods and the Taoism, and it will not affect your practice..."

Mr. Pan was about to talk about the various benefits of the Ancient God Religion when suddenly there was a noise outside. He went to open the door and a clear cry came in immediately.

"Come back, .sh.c came back, didn't drive away the wolves, and even died... five of them, alas."

"What? The wolves are not far from the gathering of immortals? This, this has never happened before."

"The one-eyed black wolf in the lead is as smart as a human, we can't defeat him."

"There is a Taoist priest in the inn..."

Mr. Pan was just about to close the door when the crowd was already coming. Xiaoqiu walked to the door and saw dozens of awed and sad faces. The crowd was silent at first, and then asked for help. Xiaoqiu was about to speak. , suddenly one of them looked familiar.

A short, fat old woman, holding an ancient god statue tightly in her hand, stood in front of the crowd, smiling at Xiaoqiu.

Xiaoqiu suddenly remembered that this was clearly Mei Chuanan's mother.

In the house, the welcoming charm near the statue suddenly turned on its own without any wind, making the sound of a moth flapping its wings, but it was covered by the noise outside.
