Exorcism

"So, there are really many bad people among casual cultivators?" Yang Qingyin swallowed a large piece of sweet cake, drank it down with a cup of strong tea, and looked up at the princess.

The princess didn't wear a veil, and she had a smile on her face, like a big sister looking at her naughty sister. In fact, she was one year younger than Yang Qingyin, "Well, there are a lot of bad people."

There were only four people in the tent, Princess, Xin Youtao, Yang Qingyin and Mu Xingqiu. Everyone sat casually, regardless of host or guest. The princess sat cross-legged on the bed, wrapped in a soft blanket. Although the tent was warm as spring, she was still a little afraid of the cold. Yang Qingyin concentrated on destroying the delicious food on the table, occasionally raising her head to speak. Xin Youtao and Mu Xingqiu sat a little further away chatting in low voices.

Mu Xingqiu did not go with Qu Xungui and others to release dozens of casual cultivators. After leaving the Zhongjun tent, he asked Yang Qingyin to leave with him and came to Dongjie's camp, which was now owned by Princess Xijie.

"Rogue cultivators are a complex group." The princess explained. The more indulgent Yang Qingyin ate, the happier she seemed. "In fact, the royal families of various countries have more or less casual cultivators. They serve the royal family, so they gain Officials and nobles. However, there are also some casual cultivators who think that they can stand out by confronting the government. They do not abide by the king's laws and even kill officials, claiming that they are doing harm to the people..."

Yang Qingyin raised her free left hand and interrupted the princess, "Anyway, in your mind, those who work for the royal family are good people, and those who do the opposite are bad people."

"Yes." The princess thought for a while, "That's pretty much what it means. The royal family is the head of a country, and of course it is also the standard for good people and bad people. Isn't that the same for orthodoxy?"

Yang Qingyin shook her head vigorously, "We are not so arrogant. As long as we don't offend the orthodoxy, we don't care whether others are good or bad. Of course, if they are monsters, they must be bad."

The princess laughed, "What a group of Taoist priests who are not arrogant."

Yang Qingyin had had enough. He took a long breath and said, "You are mocking me, but I don't care, because I know that according to your mortal rules, you are a princess and have a high status. It is said that mortals also have a rule that they cannot bully women. You are a woman , I can’t bully you.”

The princess smiled even wider.

Xin Youtao turned around and said, "Let's talk about something more important. Did this old fox Qu Xungui deceive us again?"

"He's actually hiding from me. Sooner or later, I'm going to give him something to look good at." Yang Qingyin patted the food table angrily. The princess smiled and said, "It's a trivial matter. Qu Xungui just wants the Xijie army to fight in the front line again. He doesn't really want to kill the casual cultivators at all. He just wants the catechumens to help him boost his morale. Soldiers of the Xijie Kingdom Morale is most easily aroused after a victory has just been won.”

"I think I made a mistake.

"Mu Xingqiu said that his previous actions were too hasty. He was eager to save people, and also wanted to try the newly upgraded telepathy magic. He didn't think too much. He waited until he was sitting in the princess's tent. He slowly came to his senses. , "I have aroused the generals' desire for war too much. This is what Qu Xungui needs. "

A day ago, Qu Xungui knew very little about the illusion of mind. He was defeated miserably by Mu Xingqiu's magic, but not long after that, he was able to lay down a powerful restriction. Protect your brain without any loopholes. Talisman masters do not have as long a lifespan as Taoist priests, so they must have other ways to retain memories that last more than 100,000 years. The actions just now show that Qu Xungui already understands the ins and outs of Nian Xin Ke, and can even use it skillfully to achieve his own goals.

Yang Qingyin frowned, "Are all mortals so thoughtful? After all, it's about killing demons, so everyone should move forward bravely. How can we fight this battle now when we're just thinking about who's in front and who's behind?"

The princess wrapped the blanket tighter and said with a smile: "That's what war is like. When there are few people, there is no one to rely on, and everyone strives to be first. But when there are more people, there will be problems. They all want to let others work hard and take advantage of the ready-made benefits. So just score before and after.

"Do you know much about war? Judging from your delicate appearance, you have only been on the battlefield once, right?"

"Well, I have only participated in the war with the monsters once. I have participated in the war with the nobles since I was five years old, and I have not finished it yet. The methods are different, but the principle is still the same."

Yang Qingyin knew that she couldn't defeat the princess, so she stood up and clapped her hands, "If you fight in the front line, fight in the front line. This time it's different. The two leaders personally took action, as well as the Broken Pills of Zushi Pagoda and Lan Qizhang... Anyway, it's definitely I can win." She accidentally let it slip and her face turned red. "Are you two leaving? I'm going back to the city."

Xin Youtao wanted to stay with his sister, so Mu Xingqiu and Yang Qingyin returned to the city. On the way, Yang Qingyin changed direction and landed behind a hill. She said seriously: "If you continue to hang out with people like the princess, you will become even less like a Taoist priest. . Haven’t you discovered that your thoughts are becoming more and more complex and you are thinking more and more, which is not the right path to practice.”

"But this is the 'proper path' of Nian Xin Ke. My level of illusion is still very low. I can only use it among mortals and improve it. When I become more powerful, I won't have to hang out with people like princesses anymore." Mu Xingqiu smiled and said that this was his sincerity. People's hearts are complex, but they are his battlefield. Taoist priests are simple, but his current level has no use.

In the Demon-Breaking Cave in Xingshan Mountain, the successor of Nianxin claimed that illusion is more powerful than the Five Elements spell, but Mu Xingqiu has not realized it so far.

"As long as you know what you are doing, I think you are my best friend and that's why I say these things. I don't understand the machinations of mortals, but I know one thing. Taoist priests have a basis for staying away from certain things. It's easier to come out when you go in. It’s difficult. Things that you think you can give up easily in the future may have become a part of you by then.” Yang Qingyin stood up again, “No matter how unique the mind science is, it is also one of the eighteen Taoist subjects. You can practice it freely, but there is no need to repeat it. Let’s follow the old path of those people, right?”

Mu Xingqiu wanted to say something more, but Yang Qingyin had already flown away, seemingly with a little resentment.

Mu Xingqiu felt that her words made sense. His life with mortals was getting closer and closer, and their grudges were entangled. It had only been more than a month and it was already difficult to let go. Will he be able to break it off in the future?

He raised his sword and looked at the military camps on the east bank of the Jie River and the Duanliu City on the west bank. He was even more shocked. Just a few days ago, he had made up his mind that as long as the people of Xi Jie didn't leave, he would defend the city. ? That is not what a Taoist priest should think.

Disciples of the Nianxin Department use illusions to stir up people's hearts, and they themselves are inevitably affected. This is the most fundamental difference between them and ordinary Taoist priests. When most Taoist priests work hard to eliminate passion and desire in order to further their practice, Mu Xingqiu wants to Swim in the ocean of human hearts and explore the depths.

Mu Xingqiu quickly flew to the inn in the city, thinking that there must be something wrong with his training method. After all, Nianxin Ke is one of the eighteen Taoist subjects, and it cannot be so different from other subjects.

Only Zuo Liuying can give an explanation for this. He is the leader of the forbidden secret department. He knows much more about the illusion of mind and heart than the average Taoist priest. He has been silently observing Mu Xingqiu, and he doesn’t know much about this disciple of mind and heart. Very deep.

A piece of paper talisman suddenly flew in front of him. Mu Xingqiu grabbed it in his hand and saw a line of words written on it: Life is like an illusion, it comes and goes in an instant, so you should cherish the scenery in front of you. It is snowing in the early winter, and the bright moon is reflected in the distance. If you are interested in Taoism, you can come and enjoy it at midnight tonight. The signature is the music master.

This flying talisman made Mu Xingqiu change his mind and decided not to seek help from Zuo Liuying for the time being. He wanted to hear how much Long Binhui knew about Nian Xin Ke.

There were a lot of things on this day. First, the casual cultivators came over to express their gratitude and expressed their willingness to fight side by side with the Taoist priests. Then Xin Youtao brought news that the Shengfu Dynasty and the various princes' troops had already lined up the formation for the decisive battle. As expected, the army was at the front, Huang Fu's army was in the middle, and the other armies of the princes were arranged on the two wings. After nightfall, the Dao Fire Baby Pills taken by the Taoist priests took effect one by one. Everyone's inner elixirs improved, at least to two levels. Shen Hao and Xin Youtao advanced from the third level to the sixth level, all surpassing Mu Xingqiu.

The demon army is getting closer and closer to Duanliu City, and the flying talismans sent out by the talisman masters can even see the huge mountain of demon fire.

Mu Xingqiu didn't show up. He stayed in the house and thought about practicing. When he woke up, he practiced boxing without asking anything. Everyone thought he was dissatisfied with the progress of his practice, so they didn't bother him.

That night, Mu Xingqiu flew to the Huangfu Army camp. This time he did not encounter any talisman traps, nor did he find any powerful restrictions. In the Chinese army tent, Qu Xungui was waiting for his guests alone.

"It's gratifying that the illusion of mind-reading can reappear in the human world." Qu Xungui said this as soon as he saw Mu Xingqiu, without any intention of being polite.

"It seems that Master Qufu knows the illusion of mind very well."

Qu Xungui took out a paper talisman, .kash.c flicked it, and the paper talisman turned into a book. He turned to the middle page, "I didn't understand it at first, but I have to understand it after suffering a loss. Listen. Listen to Long Binhui’s records of Nian Xin Ke.”

Qu Xungui coughed, "The Nianxin successor is arrogant and claims that the history of Taoism is all a scam. The other seventeen subjects, including the Fulu subject, are all wrong. Only the Nianxin subject is the right path." The power of one thought, "The enemy's heart is moved." They claim that their illusions are a hundred times more powerful than the five elements of magic, and everyone must surrender to them. For this reason, the Nine Dao Dao Tutors have to lock all the disciples of the Mind-Breaking Cave."

Qu Xungui raised his head and said, "This is a very ancient record, but there is no time stamp on it. The Long Bin Society usually does not interfere in the internal affairs of the Taoist tradition, but we are allowed to participate in the matter of dealing with the Nian Xin Department, and we are allowed to stay. There are many records, and what I just read is just a short paragraph.”

"This record is no more attractive to me than the first snow and the bright moon."

"Haha, the catechumens don't seem to understand yet. The Nine Dao Dao Tong and Long Binhui killed off the Nianxin Ke out of fear and jealousy. In other words, the Nianxin Illusion Technique can defeat the Five Elements Magic." Qu Xungui paused for a moment, " Long Binhui has left some records in this regard. Are you interested?"
