Exorcism

Shen Xiuming and other disciples of Zhiyongsuo all stayed in Dongjie Kingdom. They have decided to follow the princess from now on and no longer be members of Pangshan Taoism. This is a correct choice. They will be more useful in the army of ordinary people. , a promising future.

Mu Xingqiu brought the three-headed unicorn back to Duanliu City. They belonged to Pangshan Taoism and could not be left outside. Qilin did not allow Shen Hao to ride on it, so he could only fly back to the city with his own weapon.

The fleas were full of energy, jumping around along the way, still practicing their charging skills on the battlefield. The patrolling soldiers on the road got out of the way at a distance. The soldiers' mounts were even more nervous than their owners. They tried to back away as much as possible. When Qilin passed by, they all He lowered his head slightly, not even daring to wag his tail.

Most of the soldiers were from Dongjie country, and they already recognized Mu Xingqiu. They held their spears upside down and called him "General Mu" with surprise and awe in their voices. They continued to pay attention to him until he was far away.

Mu Xingqiu could feel the sincerity of the soldiers of Dongjie Kingdom. They didn't seem to care at all about switching their allegiance to the princess of Xijie Kingdom. A large part of the reason was "General Mu".

Mu Xingqiu has gained great prestige on the battlefield, and now it is slowly being transferred to the princess. This is something that the two of them know well, and no one needs to say it. Mu Xingqiu does not care about reputation in the world, and the princess has never He said that he would be given specific rewards, but he could safely leave Shen Xiuming and others with the princess, and they would receive more than ordinary preferential treatment.

Mu Xingqiu then nodded to the Dongjie soldiers he met on the road.

It was still dark when he returned to Duanliu City. Mu Xingqiu decided to go to the city guard's mansion first. He had promised to take care of Zhang Lingsheng's daughter, so he had to take a look.

He met Chen Zhiwei at the gate of the city guard's mansion.

After many days of imprisonment, the city guard had lost a lot of weight. The strange thing was that his belly had not lost weight at all. When he saw Mu Xingqiu, he immediately showed a blunt and flattering smile, nodded and bent, and rubbed his hands. It seems that he wants to come forward to pay respects, but he doesn't dare to get too close.

Several soldiers followed behind, like escorts or guards.

The one walking at the back was Captain Huang, with a look of reluctance. He showed joy after seeing Mu Xingqiu. He stayed at the door and watched Chen Zhiwei and others mount their horses. He whispered: "Princess wants to see Mr. Chen, I'm afraid... To restore his official position, General Mu..."

Captain Huang kept winking. He had completely offended Chen Zhiwei and the last thing he wanted to see was him becoming his boss again.

Mu Xingqiu understood what he meant and said with a smile: "The princess has her own opinion, you don't have to worry."

Captain Huang sighed, still feeling uneasy.

"I feel reassured by General Mu's words, but... alas."

Mu Xingqiu guessed that the princess's re-appointment of Chen Zhiwei was most likely related to the Shengfu Dynasty, and the city guard of Duanliu City had been accepting bribes from the Imperial Dragon Binhui. This is a ready-made bridge.

Mu Xingqiu suddenly understood something about the princess's way of employing people, so he said to Captain Huang who turned around and was about to leave, "Congratulations, you are about to be promoted."

Captain Huang was stunned. He did not participate in yesterday's battle. He led a group of old and weak soldiers to defend the city, but he didn't make any contribution to the princess. How could he be "promoted"? But he still held up his hands and said: "General Tuomu's good words."

The princess is a person who knows how to compromise and win over, in order to regain the homeland of Xijie Kingdom. She can put aside all grudges and even forgive her enemies temporarily, but she will not indulge her enemies. She spared Taifu Xin's death, but cut off the close relationship between his family and the Zifu Army. When she re-appointed Chen Zhiwei, she must also find ways to restrain him.

Since Captain Huang was ordered to escort the city guard, he was the one chosen by the princess to restrain her.

Mu Xingqiu began to feel that the princess was a bit scary. She was like Zuo Liuying who was silent to the low-level Taoist priests. Both of them had another set of codes of conduct. They were like fish in water in their own circle, but people outside the circle couldn't understand it. .

Mu Xingqiu was once again glad that he could stay away from the royal family's struggle for power. At the same time, he also understood the reason why the Nine Dao Masters never interfered in mortal affairs even though they were powerful - it was not that they were unable, but that they were unwilling to be involved in the complicated world. Things destroy the mood.

The princess did not live in the city guard's mansion. The place suddenly became much calmer. There were only a few soldiers guarding it. Some of the servants ran away, but there were still more than 20 people left. Mu Xingqiu asked where Zhang Lingsheng's daughter lived and went straight to the backyard.

Besides the nanny, there was someone else in the room.

Mu Xingqiu and Xiao Qingtao asked in surprise at the same time: "Why are you here?"

Fangfang and Bald Zi are also here. Fangfang seems not surprised at all by Mu Xingqiu's arrival. Bald Zi is hanging in mid-air looking at the baby on the bed, with a small part of the demon's heart hidden in the hair on his forehead exposed. , like a cloudy and evil eye. Beside him, the old nanny held her breath and stared at the head without blinking. The more frightened she felt, the more unable to look away. She was relieved when she saw General Mu come in.

"This little thing is really interesting." The bald man said cheerfully, sticking out his tongue and making faces at the baby, making the baby giggle.

"Did Zuo Liuying let you out?" Mu Xingqiu asked again.

"Well, he wanted to talk to Lan Qizhang, so he kicked us out. Xiao Qingtao said that Zhang Lingsheng's daughter is very cute, so we came to take a look. She is indeed very cute and not afraid of life at all." Fangfang smiled, very Happy to leave the small place of the inn, "What are you doing here?"

"Zhang Lingsheng asked me to take care of his daughter."

Both Fangfang and Xiao Qingtao understood the meaning of this sentence. Only the bald man was still making faces at the baby. A strand of hair accidentally fell into the baby's hand and they were pulling each other endlessly.

"Poor child." Xiao Qingtao's eyes were filled with tears. "She doesn't know that she has no parents. But Zhang Lingsheng is really strange. The relationship with you has never been good. Why did he entrust his daughter to you?"

"Zhang Lingsheng feels that his daughter is a person with Taoist roots, and hopes that I can help her condense her energy into elixir and become a Pangshan Taoist priest."

"Really?" Xiao Qingtao observed the baby curiously, "The Daogen will not appear so early. I remember that I was only sure that I had the Daogen when I was seven years old."

Fangfang stretched out her right hand and pressed her thumb on the baby's forehead. The baby let go of Bald Man's hair, grabbed Fangfang's thumb with both hands, and tried hard to move it to his mouth.

"She probably really has Dao roots, but it's just not obvious yet." Fangfang smiled at the baby, who automatically let go of her hands and gave a big smile in return.

"The little thing prefers Fangfang." Bald Man said in confusion. At the same time, stretch out two strands of hair to tease the baby.

"Haha, that Zhang Lingsheng has found the right person. Brother Xiaoqiu is the best at helping others condense elixirs." Xiao Qingtao was a beneficiary herself and had full confidence in Mu Xingqiu.

The baby becomes sleepy, begins to yawn, and is no longer interested in the grimaces his head makes.

The three of them and the bald man left the room, not in a hurry to return to the inn, so they chatted in the cold courtyard. The late autumn chill was a kind of enjoyment for them.

The topic naturally turned to Lan Qizhang, "I really admire him." Xiao Qingtao said sincerely. "Did he know he wanted to break the pill early in the morning?"

Fangfang nodded, "I think he knew, otherwise he would have stayed at Laozu Peak."

Xiao Qingtao directly asked what Mu Xingqiu wanted to ask the most, "The Zuo Chief has brought you out. He won't...ask you for anything, right?"

"No, I am..." Fangfang glanced at Mu Xingqiu, "I left the Ancestor Peak with everyone, and the leader didn't make any demands to me."

Xiao Qingtao let out a sigh of relief, and Mu Xingqiu felt a stone fall in his heart. Although Zuo Liuying is not a disciple of Mind Mind Science, he is proficient in the Five Elements Water Illusion Technique and can easily convince someone to work for him.

"The art of breaking pills is not advisable. I really don't understand why Zuo Liuying made such a choice." Mu Xingqiu expressed his true opinion.

The bald man is chasing the unicorn. Flying around the yard. Xiao Qingtao and Fangfang both looked at Mu Xingqiu, slightly surprised.

Mu Xingqiu kept thinking about this matter, thinking of his past experiences, and even more disapproving of Zuo Liuying's plan. "It makes sense for the Nine Dao Daoist Order to bless every disciple of the Condensing Pill with the method of fundamental escape. Although the technique of breaking the pill is powerful, the hidden dangers are also very serious. If a Taoist priest who is possessed by the devil fails to think about it for a moment, the whole family will be destroyed. Daotong, for hundreds of thousands of years, Taoist priests would rather die in battle than use the pill-breaking technique, just because they don’t want to set a precedent. If Zuo Liuying uses this trick, it is inevitable that someone will imitate it in the future, and some Taoist priests will even ask their disciples to break the pill. Requirements, this is a big risk.”

The two female Taoists thought for a while, and Xiao Qingtao whispered: "In the past hundreds of thousands of years, the Taoism has never encountered such a big disaster. Zuo Zuozuo's move was out of necessity. Other Taoisms will not imitate it."

"It's hard to say. If the art of breaking pills can really save Pangshan Taoism and the Patriarch Tower, other Taoist families will definitely be impressed by this, and breaking pills will become an option from now on." Mu Xingqiu saw Fangfang and Xiao Qingtao frowning. After thinking deeply, he added with a smile: "Maybe I'm thinking too much. Zuo Liuying must know these things. I just hope that he doesn't refuse to ask for help from various Taoist traditions out of pride."

"Why are so few people coming to help?" Xiao Qingtao sighed, "There were only a few inspiratory Taoist priests who came, but they are all gone now. Aren't the Nine Daoist Orders the same spirit? They all came to Pangshan Cunxiang Patriarch Well, why would you die without saving anything? You are worse than ordinary people."

The more Xiao Qingtao talked, the angrier she became, kn. Mu Xingqiu and Fangfang were the people she trusted the most, so she dared to speak her mind. If there were other Taoist priests present, she would never dare to speak like this.

But neither of them could answer her questions. Taoism is like a high mountain. People at the bottom of the mountain can only vaguely see a small part of the top of the mountain. They have no way of knowing what kind of scenery they will see when standing on the top of the mountain and looking far into the distance.

With a whooshing sound, a meteor flashed from the northeastern sky, and it went straight to Duanliu City. When it was several miles away from the city, the light disappeared.

The soldiers guarding the city were surprised. They talked about it as a strange thing for a while and then forgot about it. However, the Taoist priests knew that this was someone flying with a weapon, and he was a high-level Taoist priest above the Xingluo realm.

Mu Xingqiu grabbed the bald man's bun and raised his weapons at the same time as Fangfang and Xiao Qingtao. They could see clearly that the guest's destination was the inn where Zuo Liuying was staying.

A piece of light that only Taoist priests could see suddenly rose above the inn. It was more than ten feet high, and it was the image of the Patriarch's Tower.

The person who came was Taoist Pangshan.
