Exorcism
Chapter 236 The Prince’s Cowardice
The arrival of more than forty Taoist priests made Xin Youtao's morale rise a lot. After all, for tens of thousands of years, it was the Taoist priests who really defeated the demon army, and the armies of the vassal states only provided peripheral cooperation.
But this feeling gradually dropped again, getting lower and lower, even lower than before when there was a glimmer of hope.
Including Taoist Priest Pangshan, there are only about fifty Taoist priests in the entire Duanliu City, all of whom are in the realm of inhalation. There is not even a Taoist priest of Dinxia, let alone Taoist Xingluo, who has always been the main force in eliminating demons.
Xin Youtao tried not to think about the most tragic ending, but he always felt chest tightness and shortness of breath. When Xiao Qingtao came over and made fun of his ugly face, he could only smile back. As night fell, he couldn't bear it any longer and flew to the west of the city again. This time he rose even higher and looked at the demon army camp two hundred miles away with his third eye.
The Mountain of Demonic Fire is like a crouching evil beast, even if it is motionless, it still looks a bit ferocious.
The trap prepared by Mu Xingqiu could not stop it. The more Xin Youtao looked at it, the more unsure he became. Even if the mountain of demonic fire fell into a pit, it would advance all the way and crush Duanliu City to the ground. This is an extremely powerful magic. Only Only the magic of high Taoist priests can block it, and any other force, whether it is land, mountains or rivers, can only cause a small obstacle to it.
Xin Youtao looked back at Duanliu City behind him, and suddenly felt that it was extremely small. The dilapidated city walls, narrow streets, and everything seemed so vulnerable. He really wanted to shout loudly and tell the people who were kept in the dark. And the soldiers: Tomorrow is the day of death, enjoy the remaining joy.
He turned his attention to the small inn again. Zuo Liuying would probably escape with the Patriarch Tower at the last moment. He thought that this old monster wouldn't care about the life and death of dozens of inhaling Taoist priests. If he couldn't take action, he would definitely not take action.
Xin Youtao felt a burst of sadness and lamented his ill-fated fate. He lost his mother when he was young and lost the most important protection. As the eldest son of the royal family, he was unable to inherit the throne. He entered the Pangshan Taoist tradition and almost failed to condense his energy into elixirs. He also encountered a catastrophic Taoist disaster that only occurs once in a hundred thousand years...
He couldn't think anymore, hesitated for a while, and flew to the military camp not far away. At this time, he didn't want to see Mu Xingqiu, but just wanted to talk to his sister.
The princess didn't wear a veil and was alone in the tent with her eyes closed and meditating. She needs a little downtime.
"elder sister."
The princess opened her eyes and said, "You should stay with the Taoist priests."
"I want you to tell me the truth."
"I've never hidden anything from you."
"Are you really planning to fight against the demon soldiers with just this small army? You are so smart,
There must be a way to get those onlookers to join the battle, right? "
The princess looked at her brother, "What did King Tosuke do to my brother to turn him into a coward?"
"I'm not a coward." Xin Youtao has been taken care of by his sister since he was a child, and he has never hidden anything in front of her. "King Dongjie said... everything is doomed. The Nine Dao Daotong will soon be unable to suppress the demon clan. The rise of the demon clan is just a prelude." . Resistance is useless, human life is short, it is better to retreat to a safer place to spend the rest of your life..."
Xin Youtao couldn't say any more. He was a Taoist priest. He shouldn't be influenced by a mortal, but everything King Dongjie said spoke to his heart, so he couldn't help but not believe it.
The princess' expression softened, "What do you want?"
"Let's... leave. Go to the Imperial Capital. With the status and intelligence of our two siblings, we can gain a foothold in the royal family and the Longbin Society with a little strategy. As for the demon army, it should be solved by the Shengfu Dynasty. ”
The princess stood up, walked to her brother, and said with a smile, "You know, everyone's fate is arranged, but not destined."
Xin Youtao was stunned for a moment, not understanding what her sister meant by saying this.
"Everyone accepts their destiny from birth. Some are farmers, some are traders, some are soldiers, and some are royals. As they grow older, everyone must learn specialized skills, and these skills will eventually be used Yes, a man who has been holding a hoe for half his life gets dizzy when he sees a weapon, and a general who has been fighting everywhere becomes restrained when he enters the palace. You have seen this kind of thing. The royal family also has its own skills. We have been learning it since we were young, every move, including every thought. , all in preparation for becoming the leader of a country in the future. You were laughed at in Pangshan Taoism because the skills you learned are useless there. Do you want to endure it again in the imperial capital? "
"But our status has not changed..."
"My brother, without the Xijie Kingdom and without this army, you and I are nothing. Conspiracies and tricks can accomplish many things, but there will always be times when they are beyond their capabilities. Without the land and the people, the so-called vertical and horizontal manipulation is nothing more than A funny monkey trick. Brother, do you remember what your father told you about the majesty and honor of a king?"
"You said it was just for outsiders to see."
"That's because I didn't know this day would come." The princess's voice became heavier and heavier. She hoped to pull her brother out of the abyss of timidity. "Majesty and honor are also skills, and they are unique to the royal family. , most of the time they seem stale, because the timing is wrong. Now, tomorrow, I don't need conspiracy, I don't need intelligence, I can only use majesty and honor. The ancestors of the Xin family relied on them to become kings, and we must use them too. They save the West, or they die for them."
Xin Youtao lowered his head and thought for a while. He was trying to accept everything his sister said, but he couldn't. He shook his head and said, "You said that fate is not destined."
"What kind of prince am I?" Xin Youtao couldn't explain his sister, and suddenly felt an uncontrollable anger. "I am a thorn in the queen's side. Even without all this, I can only be a talisman master. Why should I protect Xi with dignity and honor?" What good does this do to me? Where are the queen and her son? This is their responsibility!"
"Then let's change this and make Xijie Country your responsibility." The princess said softly.
Xin Youtao shook his head vigorously and retreated towards the door, "You are not my sister. My sister will protect me and support me, instead of letting me die!"
Xin Youtao rushed out of the tent, and the princess stared blankly in the direction where her brother disappeared. After a while, she turned around and returned to the original place, continuing to close her eyes and rest. "War changes everyone," she said to herself.
Xin Youtao, who was walking in the military camp, regretted deeply. He should not have spoken to his sister like this. In the dangerous palace, her sister was his only support, but he did not want to go back and apologize because he had not regained his courage. Even if he made a gesture, it was just Disappoint my sister.
The prince had been away from the capital for so long that most of the soldiers did not recognize him and regarded him as a Taoist priest who had come to support him, showing curiosity and awe. But there is no recognition and obedience.
Xin Youtao didn't care, he didn't want to fly, he just wanted to walk down-to-earth.
A familiar voice came from the front, it was veteran Pan Sanye. The princess gave him many choices, and was even willing to break the rules and directly appoint him as a general. This was much more difficult than appointing Mu Xingqiu. After all, Pan Sanye was just a retired veteran, but he refused them all and was willing to be the princess's subordinate. A guard.
now. Mr. Pan was showing off his brand new armor to a group of guards. He had an indifferent and relaxed attitude towards the war, as if he only needed to protect the princess and show off in front of everyone tomorrow to end everything.
"When I was in the army, I always thought about returning home from the army and living a stable life. Now that I have settled down, I realize where the stability comes from? It's all boring, so boring that even farting is tasteless. I want to think clearly this time Well, just die on the battlefield. At least you can smell a little bit of blood. But don’t get me wrong, I don’t want to die tomorrow. I want to protect the princess and win the battle. I’ll have a good drink before I die in battle... "
The guards were laughing and quickly accepted the veteran as a trusted comrade.
Xin Youtao envied Master Pan, and even envied these ignorant soldiers. He raised his sword and flew back to the city amidst the exclamations of the soldiers.
Only one person might be able to give him the strength he needs most.
Mu Xingqiu had just returned from the inn and was encouraging the Taoist priests in the main hall of the military camp. When he saw Xin Youtao coming in, he nodded to him without interrupting his speech, "...all the fellow Taoists came with passion. One day, all this passion You will be treated as a Taoist tribulation. By then, your cultivation level will have risen a lot. You will no longer come to participate in an almost unwinnable battle on a whim. You will become a high-level Taoist priest, overlooking the battle between mortals and monsters. Fighting, saying 'This has nothing to do with me, Taoism has stronger enemies to deal with' But, looking back, you won't regret participating in this battle, just like you won't regret grabbing the toy from your friend as a child, because. You were happy then."
The Taoist priests all laughed, and some even clapped, which was considered a sign of passion for them.
"The third Taoist ancestor of Taoism defeated the demons under the most unlikely circumstances. Even high-level Taoist priests will occasionally feel excited after reading the records in ancient books. We are all low-level Taoist priests in the realm of inhalation. We cannot experience the third ancestor. The hardships we have experienced and the great achievements we have made, but tomorrow we will face a powerful enemy. This is an opportunity."
"Xingluo Taoist priests will not have such a chance. They have accurate calculations and always defeat the demon army with stronger strength. www.ns.c Note that the Taoist priests will not have such a chance. As long as they are willing, they can fight if they want and run away if they want. Run. Neither can the Taoist priests Xinxia and Tunyan, because most of them have passed through the heart fire tribulation and have no blood in their bodies. They are more willing to obey the orders of the high-ranking Taoist priests than to make their own decisions. We are the only ones, a group of inhaling Taoist priests. , The brain is not smart enough, the blood has not retreated, the enemy is still very powerful, and you can experience the tragedy of dying 130,000 years ago!"
Mu Xingqiu pinched the Dao Fire Jue with his right hand and placed it across his chest. He did not use any spells to make everyone's fighting spirit even higher, because this was their already existing emotion, "The Dao Fire will never be extinguished."
"The fire of the Tao will never be extinguished." Everyone responded. They were Taoist priests and could not raise their arms and shout. Even the voices of more than fifty people together were a little dull, but the fighting spirit contained in this voice was even more powerful. powerful.
"The fire will never be extinguished." Xin Youtao said these four words together with everyone, and the timidity in his heart suddenly disappeared.
He understood that he had unknowingly become a complete Taoist priest. Only among similar people could he face death calmly.
He is no longer a prince.
