Exorcism

The teenagers had not yet started practicing, so they called the duel between the two "competition". The news had spread long ago, but the competition did not start immediately.

Xin Youtao was busy consolidating the existing victory. In the next few days, more and more new children arrived, and the number of gifts piled in the middle of the courtyard decreased accordingly. The children surrounding His Royal Highness were enough to form a small army.

During this period, Xiaoqiu thought about it and began to feel that the competition was meaningless and unnecessary. In the final analysis, he and Xin Youtao did not have any deep hatred. Even if he won the competition, he would not get any obvious benefits, let alone save him. Return lost companions.

For Xin Youtao, this competition is very necessary.

Simple facts often have more powerful power. Xin Youtao successfully erased his cowardly experience in the forest, but Xiao Qiu's "fainting" when they first met still became his lingering nightmare, although no one He dared to say it in public, but in private, this nickname was widely circulated. After every new child received a gift from the courtyard, the second thing he did was to ask around about the origin of "Haun San'er".

Since more than half of the teenagers in Yelin Town had surrendered to the prince, most people did not believe the rumors of "three faints", but Xin Youtao couldn't let go of this matter, so he still wanted to cut off the last bit of rumors through a competition to prove that he was by no means a The kind of coward who faints casually.

Wanting to understand this truth, Xiaoqiu went to the dining room as late as possible to reduce the chance of meeting Xin Youtao. Erliang Shen Xiuwei no longer "fainted Saner" under his advice. Fangfang rarely went to the study and occasionally took out a few This book teaches the two remaining students how to read in Xiaoqiu's room.

Shen Hao moved to another room to live in. He was sluggish every day, walking alone and not interacting with anyone. His bone-forging boxing, which he had practiced smoothly, also stagnated. He was often ridiculed by Zhang Lingsheng in public, "It doesn't come naturally." There is something wrong with Daogen." This is a sentence he talks about every day.

Xin Youtao's two loyal followers often provoked Xiaoqiu and Erliang, but when they received no response, they died down.

For a few days, Xin Youtao seemed to have forgotten the three dissidents in the building. He never asked for trouble or mentioned the martial arts competition. However, the prince's thoughts were always different from ordinary people.

One day in early September, Daliang Shen Xiuming called his younger brother aside and whispered a few words to him. Erliang Shen Xiuwei left his brother with a cold face and found Xiaoqiu, "Tomorrow after breakfast, Xin Youtao will compete with you in the front yard. Brother Xiaoqiu, we can't give in anymore, we have to teach him a lesson.

In fact, Xiao Qiu has never slacked off. These days, he has been practicing boxing harder than usual. Although the bone-forging boxing can only strengthen the body and cannot be used for confrontation, but after becoming light and healthy, he is more confident in defeating Xin Youtao: He remembered very clearly that there was nothing special about the physique of the Prince of Western Japan, not even comparable to that of an ordinary small town boy.

Fangfang was originally firmly opposed to the martial arts competition, but Xin Youtao took the initiative to challenge it. She naturally sided with Xiaoqiu and found many books to prove her original point of view, "Look, here is a passage where the Nine Dao Traditions had a long-standing relationship with the Holy Spirit. The Fu Dynasty has reached an agreement that except for selecting disciples and slaying demons, Taoist priests are not allowed to interfere in any disputes in the world. The Shengfu Dynasty cannot interfere in all affairs within the scope of Taoism. Of course, the twelve princely states must abide by this when they submit to Emperor Fu. An agreement. Therefore, Pangshan Taoism is independent, and the identity of the prince is not of much use here. "

"The useful ones are those parcels." Erliang Shen Xiuwei could not hide his contempt for the prince, "The princes and kings have a lot of money, and they can even bribe Pangshan Taoism."

"Don't regard Taoist Zhang as Pangshan Taoism." The more books Fangfang reads, the more respect she has for Taoism.

"Strictly speaking, he is just a handyman. He doesn't even have an inner elixir. He cannot represent Pangshan Taoism."

"In this case, there is no need to be afraid. Brother Xiaoqiu, I must give Xin Youtao a good beating tomorrow morning so that he will never dare to lie in public again." Shen Xiuwei was full of fighting spirit and went out to send a message to his brother. : Xiaoqiu agrees to compete.

There were only two people left in the room. Fangfang whispered: "It's best if we don't cause trouble. We are here to practice Taoism. We don't need to offend our fellow disciples."

"I know I won't embarrass him too much if I give him a gentle beating tomorrow."

Fangfang laughed and said, "Don't be too careless. As a rule, the royal families of the vassal states rarely choose to practice Taoism. Since Xin Youtao has worshiped Pangshan, he may be outstanding. And he can use paper talismans. I We haven’t found out whether Pangshan allows the use of talismans, but you have to be careful.”

"Don't worry, he's not right, I will take action first and prevent him from taking out the paper charm.

The matter is settled like this. There are already fifty or sixty children in the library. They have Taoist roots. Some of them will become great Taoist priests in the future. But now they have not got rid of the preferences of ordinary children and are interested in the excitement. Full of expectations, an agreed-upon competition is enough to arouse everyone's emotions.

Early the next morning, Zhang Lingsheng supervised the children to finish practicing their boxing skills, and immediately left the building, pretending not to know that something would happen today. However, the village women who delivered the meals did not delay until they had no more work to do, and then walked out angrily. door.

Several children ran to close the courtyard door, and the others formed a circle, leaving an open space in the middle. Xiaoqiu, Fangfang, Erliang, and Shen Xiuwei were already ready, but Xin Youtao did not show up.

"Didn't we agree to compete after breakfast? Where are the people?" Shen Xiuwei asked loudly to the other side.

A young man replied: "Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Xin has to practice the exercises for a while after breakfast. This is his habit."

"Pretending." Shen Xiuwei whispered, "Brother Xiaoqiu, don't be soft later. I've been holding back a lot these days, so I'm just waiting for today."

Xiaoqiu smiled, took off his straw hat and handed it to Shen Xiuwei. He had been away from herding life for a long time, and even his skin had turned white, so he still couldn't throw it away.

Xin Youtao finally walked out of the room where he lived alone, and the crowd automatically gave way to the passage. He was wearing a well-fitting brocade robe today, with a jade belt around his waist, and a bright pearl forehead bandage on his head. The ruby ​​in the middle was so dazzling that it made people dizzy. , the soles of his feet were a pair of brand new leather boots. From the look of him, he looked more like he was going to visit other noble men than to compete with a rustic young man.

Xiaoqiu's clothes are similar to those of the farmers in Jinghu Village, including a coarse cloth short coat, long trousers, and a pair of cloth shoes. This is the standard clothing given by Pangshan to new disciples. However, most of the other children wear the clothes given by the prince, and only a few of them still wear the clothes. As is.

Xiaoqiu almost admired the prince in front of her. He was born weak and fair, like a girl. When he told lies, his face did not turn red, and his heart did not beat. The more people around him, the calmer his expression became.

Xiaoqiu had nothing to defend. He had never created or spread rumors, and he had a clear conscience. "Come on," he said, deciding to make a quick decision.

Xin Youtao had the same idea as Xiao Qiu. He was a prince and he couldn't be inseparable from a teenager from a border town.

Xiaoqiu made the first move. He had never learned martial arts that could be used in actual combat, so he just used a simple tiger attack. After nearly two months of boxing practice, his physique has changed a lot. His movements are faster and stronger. Even an ordinary adult would have a hard time avoiding this attack.

Xin Youtao didn't hide. He didn't even bother to use ordinary people's martial arts. Since he stepped into the Taoist gate, of course he had to use magic.

He stretched out his right hand, still with a smile on his face. He didn't look at Xiaoqiu, but winked at the audience on the side, and then a fireball that everyone could see flew out of his hand.

The fireball hung in the air. As soon as Xin Youtao's palm moved slightly, it changed position and covered a large airspace in front of the opponent.

The children onlookers exclaimed in unison, and many even looked frightened. After arriving at the Jinghu Village Hall, they had some understanding of Taoism. They knew one thing very well. Without the inner elixir, there was no way to cast spells, and the condensed Inner elixir is a very difficult thing, and it would be impossible to achieve it without the teaching and guidance of the master.

Prince Xin Youtao did it, which meant that he was far ahead of everyone.

Fangfang and Erliang were even more shocked. Xin Youtao once used the paper talisman in front of them. His posture was clumsy and his accuracy was extremely poor. He tried twelve times and never hit the snake demon once, but this time he did not take out the paper talisman. , and did not make any special movements. He just stretched out his palm to send out a fireball, and he could also control the direction of the fireball. It was different from the original one, and more like a mature Taoist priest casting a spell.

"Fangfang, didn't you say that you are not allowed to use spells casually in Pangshan?" Erliang Shen Xiuwei asked in surprise.

Fangfang was speechless. She had indeed seen such a rule before, so she was more surprised than anyone else by the scene in front of her.

Xiaoqiu, who was on the field, had no time to think too much, and hurriedly stopped her body to avoid the fireball that was pursuing her. She suddenly changed from an attacker to a embarrassed runaway.

Xin Youtao strolled in the courtyard, followed Xiaoqiu, controlled the fireballs to block them, and said loudly: "Are you still claiming that I can't defeat an ordinary snake demon? Are you still spreading rumors that I fainted? Mu Xingqiu , Kneel down and confess!”

Xiaoqiu was hiding and retreating, but couldn't get rid of the fireball. He stepped on a stone under his feet, and anh.c suddenly fell on his back, and the fireball came towards his face.

Xin Youtao was so excited that he couldn't control his emotions.

Amidst the screams, Fangfang and Erliang Shen Xiuwei rushed to rescue Xiaoqiu, but they could not stop the fireball either.

Xiaoqiu subconsciously stretched out her right arm to block the approaching threat. Without even thinking about it, she muttered the words "Don't be wrong or weak".

The fireball stopped, only four or five inches away from Xiaoqiu's palm. It stopped, as if it had fallen into a tight net, unable to move no matter how hard it struggled.

The incident happened so suddenly that the bystanders did not react, nor did the owner of the fireball, Xin Youtao, who continued to rush forward. It was not until he was very close to the fireball that he realized something was wrong. He stopped in a hurry, his feet were unsteady for a moment, and he almost fell to the ground.

Xiao Qiu didn't expect that the spell would really work. Only he could actually feel the slight change in the air in front of him.

Fangfang and Erliang Shen Xiuwei helped up the stunned Xiaoqiu. The moment he stood up, the fireball exploded and sparks flew everywhere. People around him got some. In the eyes of the onlookers, it looked like Prince Xin Youtao. A trick issued.

The scene suddenly became chaotic, with timid and cautious children retreating step by step, while others wanted to join the battle group.

Shen Hao had been standing on the outermost edge, but now he became the front row. Seeing seven or eight teenagers rushing towards Xiaoqiu, Fangfang and Erliang Shen Xiuwei, he could no longer bear it. The humiliation broke out instantly.

"Damn it, I don't want my uncle anymore, I'm dizzy, here I come!"
