Exorcism

Mu Xingqiu didn't stop practicing until he was sweating all over, turned around and said to the long-awaited guests: "It's summer again? It's so fast.,b,"

This is a cave deep underground. It is not large in area but very high. It is like an upright bottle. Mu Xingqiu lives at the bottom of the bottle. Except for the futon and the incense burner, there are no extra items, not even lights. .

In such a claustrophobic place, ordinary people will develop deep fear and even lose their minds after living there for a few days. Even to a Taoist priest, this place seems like a prison from which there is no hope of escape - it is indeed a prison. , specially used to imprison Luanjingshan disciples who violated major precepts. It is also a meditation room. Some tough-minded Taoist priests, usually high-level Taoist priests, voluntarily accept "imprisonment" and concentrate on practice.

Zhang Suqin, a Taoist priest from the Mingjing Department, took a few steps forward. She could see without the need for a light, and she could also see the state of a Taoist priest. She felt strange that Mu Xingqiu had been imprisoned in the cave for a whole year, but his face could still be normal. With a smile, it seemed as if he had guests visiting here every day, but the strangest thing was his inner alchemy.

Zhang Suqin didn't like this Pangshan Taoist priest very much. If Luanjingshan hadn't owed him a huge favor, she would have openly opposed taking him in. Sometimes she would also wonder, is Feng Ruhui really Luanjingshan's enemy? If she and Shenhun were still there, Luan Jingshan might be the leader of the Nine Dao Traditions today, but that could not be said now.

She took out a bronze mirror, looked at Mu Xingqiu for a while, and said coldly: "It only took you half a year to reach the seventh level of inhalation. Now five years have passed, and you still haven't made any progress."

Mu Xingqiu sighed, but there was not much disappointment in his voice, "There is no way, it is always difficult to take this step."

Zhang Suqin knew that this was none of her business. Her task was to check Mu Xingqiu's practice progress every day in early June and let him go out for three or four days. She had never been talkative in the past few years. But this year, she felt that it was better to say some things.

"I saw you were still practicing boxing."

"Well, I have to spend three to five hours every day practicing boxing, and the rest of the time is for me to think about." Mu Xingqiu guessed what the other party was going to say, but he just felt a little strange. Why would Zhang Suqin be interested in his own practice? .

"You are wasting your time. What is most needed to practice inner elixir is concentration, but you are unwilling to stop practicing mind-reading magic."

"I understand, but if I don't practice for a day, my body will feel extremely itchy." Mu Xingqiu twisted his shoulders. It was as if there were bugs crawling on his back, which made him even less like a Taoist priest who had been in seclusion for a year.

Zhang Suqin no longer acts as a reminder. After all, this is not Luan Jingshan Taoist Priest. She hopes to send him away as soon as possible. "Pang Shan has sent a letter. The grand master will be officially elected on the fifth day of the next month. Zuo Zuo hopes that you will go back.

"

Mu Xingqiu gave a perfunctory hum. He still had many unresolved problems in his practice and did not want to leave Luanjing Mountain.

"I will come back in three days." Zhang Suqin was only responsible for delivering the news. If Mu Xingqiu can leave without being responsible for persuading her, of course she will be happy and won't leave. She wouldn't object either.

Zhang Suqin flew into the air. As the leader of the Mirror Division, she was qualified to cast spells on Luanjing Mountain.

Mu Xingqiu stood in the darkness for a while, this place felt like his home. He was not used to leaving, but there were still people waiting for him outside, so Baldy insisted on staying in Luanjing Mountain. Just to see him once a year.

He stepped on the steps carved into the cave wall and walked towards the exit above his head.

In the green wood forest, two pairs of eyes were looking at Mu Xingqiu. One pair was wide-eyed, looking back and forth, left, right, and all over his body, as if checking whether there was any damage. The other pair was also round, revealing undisguised curiosity. .

"Brother Xiaoqiu, are you paying attention? I can help you promote it." Bald Man said eagerly.

Mu Xingqiu looked back at the little girl with a smile. After several years in Luanjing Mountain, this was the first time he saw the young disciple. He shook his head, "No, just like last year, I still inhale seven times."

The bald man plopped down on the grass, his whole face became depressed, but the little girl laughed out loud, "Ha, I knew the bald man was bragging. It turns out that you only inhale at the seventh level, and I inhale at the second level, which is only three times better than you." Not even close.

The bald man said listlessly: "You are not even qualified to refine magic weapons, you are far worse than the seventh level."

"My name is Duan Caihao, a disciple of Luanjing Mountain." The little girl introduced herself openly, showing no shyness or reserve at all when we first met.

"My name is Mu Xingqiu, a disciple of Pangshan."

"I know your name. Did you really do those things? Defend Duanliu City, attack Luanjing Mountain and so on."

"I did it together with many people." Mu Xingqiu glanced at the bald man and knew that he must be bragging on his behalf again.

The bald man flew up, the frustration on his face wiped away, "There are many people, and I even participated, but Brother Xiaoqiu is the bravest, the most important, the most..."

Xiao Hao clasped her hands behind her back, as if the master was observing the new disciple, "What level of illusion have you reached in your mind-reading illusion technique?"

Xiaohao nodded seriously, "I understand a little bit. You haven't answered my question yet?"

"The seventh level of the illusion."

Xiao Hao was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "You really like to joke. I have read a book. The seventh level of the illusion is equivalent to the state of concentration. You must be at least a smoke swallowing Taoist priest, and preferably a Xingluo Taoist priest to master it. You It’s only seven breaths in, it’s impossible.”

The bald man immediately retorted, "Brother Xiaoqiu never lies." Then he asked very expectantly: "It is equivalent to the state of concentration, right?"

"You can't say that. Concentration is concentration. The seventh level of the illusion is the seventh level. You can't compare them casually."

Mu Xingqiu has indeed reached the seventh level of illusion. The demonic lightning in his body has been transformed into the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. He has tried many times to break through the seventh level of inhalation and enter the realm of dining. With his potential, he can It should be a very simple thing, but he always gives up halfway.

A Taoist priest must maintain absolute calm when crossing realms. During the process of tempering elixir with Tao fire, life experiences will flash through his mind over and over again, and emotions such as joy, anger, sorrow, and joy will be amplified countless times, setting off a huge wave in the lake of mind. wave.

The requirements for going from inhaling to eating clouds are not too high, as long as the state of mind does not collapse. It is lower than the requirements when condensing Qi into elixir, but Mu Xingqiu just can't make it. Everyone said that love affairs are important, and he had personal experience. As soon as he started the process of tempering the elixir with fire, Fangfang's image would appear in front of his eyes. Every move, every frown, every smile was within his reach. It was the tallest person in the world. The most perfect illusion is more realistic. Mu Xingqiu would be immersed in it every time, and his mood would be shaken because of it. He would rather stay in the illusion than return to the real world.

With the only trace of reason left, he had to stop tempering the elixir. As a result, Mu Xingqiu fell into depression for several days. He had to rely on boxing practice and the mental illusion technique to get out of it.

In this way, his inner alchemy has not been improved, but his illusion has reached the seventh level.

This is a very strange thing. Mu Xingqiu remembers it very clearly. The successor of Nianxinke once said that illusions also need to be based on inner alchemy and cannot cross too many levels. He also saw similar things from the collection of books in Luanjing Mountain. According to records, he encountered almost no obstacles during his cultivation.

Now, he can easily perform seven kinds of spells at once, or all of them are used to cast illusions. The power is much more powerful than a few years ago, but he has never encountered an enemy, so he cannot accurately estimate his own strength.

"Why did you see the books on Nian Xin Ke?" Mu Xingqiu was also a little curious. When he was in Pangshan, even with Zuo Liuying's permission, he could only see some superficial records, like illusion-level statements. , and he still had to wait for the successor of Nianxinke in Bamo Cave to tell him that a young Taoist priest in Luanjing Mountain actually knew it clearly.

Xiao Hao was bending down to look into the cave and said without looking back: "Because I want to transfer to the Department of Mental Health, Sun Yulu, a Taoist from the Dengzhu Department, gave me some books. In fact, they don't have much practical content... You are here How do you live here for a year? How do you clean your hands? I don’t think I see anything like a chamber pot.”

Mu Xingqiu was stunned, "I eat once a month, and I clean my hands too. Someone will give it to me... Do you want to join the Nianxin Department?"

"Well, Dengzhuke is not suitable for me. It makes me feel sick just thinking about it. In addition, practicing inner elixir requires me to think about it every day. I am the worst at thinking." Xiaohao stood up and said "The mind-reading illusion technique is relatively simple. Since you can reach the seventh level of the illusion at the seventh level of inhalation, I should be able to do it too."

"Don't you suspect that I'm bragging?"

"Since the bald man said you never lie, of course I believe it. If the stories are true, then you must be willing to take risks, and I like it too." It is difficult for Xiao Hao to focus on one person or one thing. Her eyes followed a butterfly up and down, but her words did not stop, "The world is so big. Instead of living motionless for thousands of years, it is better to travel thousands of miles in decades. As long as you are in a happy mood, why bother?" Immortality?"

The butterfly disappeared, and Xiao Hao turned to look at Mu Xingqiu with clear eyes, a little dazed with innocence, "How about it? Are you willing to teach me the illusion of mind?"

Mu Xingqiu never expected to meet an inexplicable apprentice, wa.com "I am the only disciple of Pangshan Nianxin Ke, but I am just an ordinary Taoist priest and have no right to accept disciples."

"Then let's go to Pangshan together to ask the grandmaster's opinion. I heard that the real grandmaster will be selected next month. He will be a Taoist priest who pays attention to the spirit."

Just as Mu Xingqiu was trying to find an excuse to put it off, Bald Man rushed to say, "Daliang wrote a letter a few days ago, saying that he must go to Duanliu City this year."

Mu Xingqiu was able to shirk the demands of Pang Shanxuan and Zuo Liuying, but Daliang Shen Xiuming's letter moved his heart.

Shen Xiuming is a mortal and cannot wait patiently like a Taoist priest.

"What happened?"

The bald man shook his head, "He didn't say anything in the letter, he just said that he asked you to find a way to go there no matter what."

Mu Xingqiu was still pondering, but Xiao Hao had already made a decision, "Isn't Duanliu City right on the edge of Pangshan Mountain? Let's set off tomorrow to see Daliang and the new grandmaster... who is Daliang?"
