Exorcism

One person and one dragon looked at each other for a long time dozens of miles apart on the sea of ​​clouds. The iron-spine dragon spoke and said a strange sentence, "I am not an enemy of you, I am just carrying out the curse of the demon baby. The demon fire on the first day, the demon fire on the second day. There will be dragon rain on the second day, and there will be five more days, ybd,”

The dragon's voice was as low as thunder. After saying that, he turned around and flew towards the unclean air in the northwest. Not far away, there was sudden news.

Mu Xingqiu did not pursue him because the iron-spine dragon's location was beyond the thirty-mile radius of the Patriarch's Tower. After the dragon left and the fog cleared, shortly after Mu Xingqiu returned to the ground, the sun finally returned to Duanliu City, driving away some of the cold air before it got dark.

"The demon clan is using the so-called curse to create a mystery." After Shen Hao heard about the dragon, he felt more confident, "If the demon blood baby was really so important, Qi Wushang wouldn't just send him to command an army of more than a thousand people. The human army doesn’t even have a decent demon around. I would say that Qi Wushang deliberately sent the blood babies to die, and then used this opportunity to coerce and lure the demon tribes into participating in the war.”

Shen Hao's guess made some sense, especially the words of the Iron-Spine Dragon. It obviously meant that he was not a member of the demon soldiers, but to implement the ancient curse rules, he had to come and bring cold rain.

"The demon clan believes in demon curses more than we do." Xiao Qingtao also agreed with Shen Hao's statement, "Qi Wushang's move is really insidious. He wants to draw the oldest tribes into his camp."

Mu Xingqiu couldn't think of a more reasonable explanation, so he nodded, "Jiaolong gave us a reminder. The seven-day curse is not something Yinyu Fedong said casually. There must be evidence. If we find out, we can take precautions in advance. ”

This was a simple question in Laozu Peak, but in Duanliu City the Taoist priests had no way of asking it.

"What kind of trick is Zuo Liuying playing? He must have known about these things for a long time, but he didn't even want to explain?" Shen Hao was deeply annoyed. The other Taoist priests nodded along, feeling that the head of the Forbidden Secret Division had gone too far. some.

"Don't think about Zuo Liuying. No one can force him to speak. Xiao Qingtao, you go to the inn to guard. Fangfang may be able to know something. The others will go out of the city to inspect the movements of the demon soldiers as usual. I will go and ask among the monks. Just ask.

"It's just a group of casual cultivators, what can they know?" Shen Hao's impression of these supporting soldiers became worse and worse.

"The monks have a wide range of hobbies. Maybe someone has done research on the demon curse."

"Yeah, I've never seen a real unicorn. He can study it for decades. Casual cultivators are indeed very knowledgeable." Shen Hao said sarcastically. "Just drive them all away."

"The monk's spells are still of some use." Mu Xingqiu didn't want to give up any help.

In any case, the strength of a hundred monks is far greater than that of 700 Xuanfu troops.

Several Taoist priests flew away from the military camp, and Mu Xingqiu went to see the casual cultivators.

The ground in the military camp has not yet dried, and the soldiers are sorting out their equipment and doing some simple training. It has only been a few days since Mr. Pan left, but there are already signs of slackness in the army. The team in charge of more than 700 people obviously exceeds the number in Huangdu. Lieutenant's ability. He had a lively fight with the soldiers, but his orders were often inconsistent and no one took them seriously.

Dozens of monks built a bonfire at the edge of the camp and formed a circle to ward off the cold. Their spells are relatively low-level and still require firewood, but the flames are more powerful and there is no choking smoke.

Linzi Taoist with white beard and hair was also among them. He lost two unicorns one after another. Although they were just paper talismans, they had put a lot of effort into them. Therefore, he seemed very disappointed. When he saw Mu Xingqiu, he came up to him, without the usual smile on his face.

"Catechumen, can you say a word?"

"certainly."

The two of them were not too far away from the bonfire. Taoist Linzi had no intention of looking for a hiding place. He just lowered his voice slightly and said, "Hong Futian is gone?"

"Well, go see the demon king Qi Wushang and persuade him to retreat."

"Hey, this kid is really smart, he found such an honest reason to run away.

"You don't believe him?"

"Of course I believe it, otherwise why would he come to Duanliu City? But he ran too fast, and his apprentice didn't want him anymore, and he didn't tell us. What's going on? To be honest, we are all here for him. He came to Duanliu City to save face, but when he left, everyone was completely confused. "

Mu Xingqiu's heart was clear. The monks were scared. After staying in Duanliu City for less than two days, they were about to retreat. Now they just wanted to find an "honest reason" like Hong Futian.

"I believe that Hong Fu really went to see the Demon King Qi Wushang."

Linzi Taoist laughed twice, "Then he is a complete lunatic and will be killed on the way. Alas, we were deceived by a lunatic."

His voice was a little louder when he said these words. Hong Futian's disciple Ouyang Hao walked out from the bonfire, his face flushed, neither from the fire nor from the cold, "My master is not a madman, he cares about the people of the world." Fortunately, going to see Qi Wushang is a brave move!"

"Maybe he went to Qi Wushang to claim credit." Another monk interjected, imitating Hong Futian's voice, "Your Majesty the Demon King, I have brought you more than a hundred human monks, go and kill them all. "

Ouyang Hao's face turned redder. He turned his hands, each holding a five or six foot long fire dragon, and was about to take action. The monk did not show any weakness and showed his magic sword. With the other hand, he held the Tao Fire Jue in a decent manner. .

Other monks followed suit, and soldiers from a distance were also attracted.

"That's enough!" Mu Xingqiu shouted sharply.

He was just a young Taoist priest, but he showed great strength last night, which made the monks fearful. The sword-wielding monk took back his magic weapon first, and Ouyang Hao also put away the fire dragon, his eyes still full of anger.

Mu Xingqiu originally wanted to have a private conversation with the monks, but now that he had attracted the attention of the soldiers, he simply walked towards the bonfire, faced everyone, and said loudly: "There is about to be a life and death battle in Duanliu City. The monks who have the heart to die, Please stay and fight alongside us. Those who think this battle is not worth fighting for, please leave. I understand that new recruits are afraid of going to the real battlefield."

No one left. Taoist Pangshan's words were not very polite, but the monks felt that he was qualified to say such things. Some other monks also walked out of various barracks.

"Is there a bounty for killing demons?" A monk asked. Looking around, he found that many people around him had the same feeling. He continued: "Hong Futian said that the battle in Duanliu City was presided over by Pangshan Taoism, and the demon-killing The bounty will only be higher than Qishan.”

"My master never said..." Ouyang Hao retorted in surprise, and his voice was quickly drowned out by a chorus of approval.

"The bounty is the gratitude of Pangshan Taoism and the soldiers and civilians of Duanliu City."

As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted a lot of disappointed boos. Mu Xingqiu was unmoved. He paused for a while and then said: "There is also the royal family of King Xijie. They are willing to pay any price to defend Duanliu City."

"Xijie Kingdom has even lost its capital. The whereabouts of the royal family have long been unknown. Only a prince of unknown origin is left. He also fled to Dongjie Kingdom. I don't know if he can come back. What is the difference between us and rescuing a dead person?"

"Without extraordinary dangers, how can extraordinary achievements be achieved? Saving Xijie Kingdom is your chance to establish extraordinary achievements. I guarantee that the prince will definitely come back." Mu Xingqiu is a Taoist priest from Pangshan, but the status of the master is unknown, so he cannot represent Pangshan Make specific commitments.

The monks were a little moved and talked in low voices. Mu Xingqiu could feel two completely opposite emotions. His expectations were not high. As long as half of them were willing to stay, it would be a big help.

Ouyang Hao disrupted Mu Xingqiu's plans and predictions. Like his master Hong Futian, he was naive to the point of being stubborn. He was extremely dissatisfied with the snobbery of the monks. His anger finally broke out and he shouted: "Have you forgotten that you are monks? Have you forgotten your oath to be a hero? You always speak loudly, but in times of crisis, why do you become so careless and snobby? Do you abandon the people of this city in danger without a reward? "

"People can cross the river and take refuge in Dongjie Country." A loud voice said, "Besides, we, with just a few people, can't defeat the demon army at all."

"When the people cross the river, the demon soldiers also cross the river. It's either Duanliu City or other cities. There will always be a time when there is no way to retreat." Ouyang Shan said more and more passionately, "Handing over Duanliu City will only make the demon soldiers The momentum is getting stronger, and when the next battle comes, we have no chance of winning.”

Ouyang Hao looked around, his face as red as a ripe apple, but the enthusiasm in his eyes was somewhat similar to Hong Futian's, "Stay! Not for reward, not for gratitude, just to fight against the demon soldiers, just to realize our goal The oath we all made at the beginning - not to seek immortality, but to serve all living beings."

The monks present had obviously taken this kind of oath, and all of them looked ashamed. A stout monk suddenly said, "Damn it, they all say that I will die without regrets. I will die in Duanliu City."

"Not seeking immortality, just for all living beings." The monks shouted one after another, and none of them left.

Mu Xingqiu was surprised. Ouyang Hao's words were actually more powerful than his illusion. www.c Then his heart became warm. On the one hand, it was because he had left a group of reinforcements, and on the other hand, he finally understood To: The illusion of mind and heart is a real power that exists in everyone. As one of the eighteen branches of Taoism, mind and heart are by no means heretical. What it develops is the human heart.

After the enthusiasm wears off, some people will still become timid and even run away secretly, but Mu Xingqiu believes that the majority of the monks will remain.

"The war has begun." Mu Xingqiu struck while the iron was hot, "The demon soldiers will use different magic spells for seven consecutive days to realize the so-called blood baby curse. Yesterday it was demon fire, today it is dragon rain, does anyone know what tomorrow will be? "

A very unconfident voice in the crowd said: "After Long Yu, there must be Xie Feng."

"What is evil wind? A gust of wind?"

"Fairy fire brings panic, dragon rain brings weakness, and evil winds seem to blow in doubt."

Mu Xingqiu understood that the enemy he was about to face was not a certain demon, but the people of the city.
