Exorcism

Yang Baozhen has become older, her hair is gray, and wrinkles have appeared on her once exquisite face. More than five years have seemed like twenty years to her. Her waist is still straight, but it has lost its former majesty. . .

Many Taoist priests don't care about their appearance and allow themselves to grow old slowly. However, no matter whether they are as white as snow or wrinkled, their temperament will not change and their movements will still show abundant vitality. Yang Baozhen is different. She is like a mortal who refuses to accept old age. Although she has not been completely defeated by the years, there is no possibility of turning defeat into victory.

Mu Xingqiu was so surprised that he couldn't speak. Yang Baozhen's tone was still as cold as before, but his eyes were distracted. It was obvious that he no longer recognized this young Taoist priest who had a deep hatred against the Shen family.

She walked up to Mu Xingqiu and looked him up and down, "You can't teach a good disciple by sitting on a chair."

Mu Xingqiu seemed to have returned to Yangshen Peak. Facing the most severe Tujiao, he stood up involuntarily.

Yang Baozhen walked to Xiao Hao again and said, "Get up."

Xiao Hao was very obedient and patted the dust on his Taoist robe, "You know how to recite the Xin Ke Bone Forging Fist? You don't look like a Taoist priest."

"The Bone Forging Fist is just one set. Where did the Nian Xin Ke Bone Forging Fist come from? And the Nian Xin Ke has long since disappeared. Taoist priests shouldn't even think about it."

Xiao Hao scratched her head in confusion, "Let me see your bone-forging fist."

Yang Baozhen put on a posture, and after a few moves, he was out of breath and had to stop, "It's strange, the Bone Forging Fist is obviously very easy, how could I..."

Yang Baozhen looked confused and seemed to have forgotten that there were other people around her. She whispered to herself and walked away along the corridor.

"This person is quite interesting." Xiaohao looked at Yang Baozhen's back, "There is no such Taoist priest in Luanjing Mountain. What happened to her? Was her inner elixir taken away?"

Mu Xingqiu nodded and looked at the direction Yang Baozhen was leaving. Taking the pill was the only explanation.

"You have met Yang Baozhen."

Yang Qingyin, Shen Hao and Xiao Qingtao came from the other direction at the same time, with little expression on their faces. They were already Dinxia Taoist priests, and they would not be particularly excited about meeting again after a long separation.

"Is that Yang Baozhen?" Bald Man has been playing with his hair behind Mu Xingqiu. He was startled when he heard Yang Baozhen's name, and smiled at his friends first, "Mom, you are more majestic, Xiao Qingtao, you are more beautiful, Shen Hao, you are more... I will be back soon."

Baldy flew to catch up with Yang Baozhen.

Mu Xingqiu saluted the three of them. He was excited, but the other party had the demeanor of a Taoist priest from Xiaxia. He also couldn't act too childish.

Shen Hao returned the gift formally, "We heard that you were coming back last night. There are many things going on at Yangshen Peak, so we just made free time today."

"You have all taught me, congratulations."

"Except for the Five Elements subject, there is a shortage of people in all subjects, and we are reluctant to do so. In the past, Pangshan rarely let the young Taoist priest Shanxia be a master, you know. Being a master affects the practice." Shen Hao stared at Mu Xingqiu. After a while, "I heard that you still inhale seven times, what's the matter? What happened?"

"The news spread so fast?" Mu Xingqiu smiled, "My problem is that nothing happened. I was trapped in the realm of inhalation."

Shen Hao wanted to speak, but Xiao Qingtao got in front of him and said, "You can't force yourself to practice. It's useless to talk. Brother Xiaoqiu finally returned to Pangshan. Let's find a place to sit for a while."

Baldy flew back, but he didn't find Yang Baozhen. "She has changed so much. It must be because her children are careless. My mother always said that raising me for one year will make her ten years older."

Xiao Hao came over and said in a rather formal tone: "My name is Duan Caihao. I am a disciple of Luanjing Mountain and a disciple of Pangshan Nianxin Ke."

The three of them recognized her identity from the shape of her bun. They were all a little surprised when they heard that she was still a disciple of Mind Mind.

For the Taoist priest, this was a perfectly normal meeting.

The Taoist priest's house was too narrow, so Xiao Qingtao led the way, and several people went to the nearby dining room. No one invited Xiao Hao, so she followed at the back consciously, not feeling redundant at all.

Mu Xingqiu glanced at Yang Qingyin and felt a little strange. Apart from announcing her name to Xiao Hao, she had not spoken and seemed very cold. She was already very similar to her aunt Yang Baozhen, but now she looked even more like her.

There was no one in the dining room. Five people were sitting at the corner of the long table. The bald man fell on the table. No one spoke for a long time. Although more than five years was not a long time at all for a Taoist priest, their friendship seemed to have experienced some kind of rupture. .

"Of course not." Xiao Qingtao smiled. Her appearance had not changed much, but her voice was not as sweet and soft as before. Otherwise, it would be really difficult to hold the post of Tutor, "Yang Baozhen voluntarily donated the inner elixir."

The topic still starts with Yang Baozhen.

Yang Baozhen let Shen Geng go at Luanjing Mountain. She was already awake at that time. After hearing about what her son had done at Yangshen Peak, she knew very well that this was an unforgivable crime. It was two different things from accidentally killing a disciple during a martial arts competition. If she was caught If you live there, you will definitely be imprisoned in the Demonic Cave. Between the Taoist priest's duty and his son's life, Xingluo Taoist Yang Baozhen finally chose the latter, urging him to flee, but forcibly left Yangshen Peak behind.

Yang Baozhen voluntarily accepted the punishment. Although she was a Xingluo Taoist priest in short supply in Pangshan, the rules could not be broken by her. The love between mother and child she showed had already destroyed the integrity of the Taoist priest's heart, so she was deprived of the elixir.

After losing her inner elixir, she became no different from a mortal and could not bear the memory of hundreds of years. She chose to forget her ten children, most of her spells and all the Taoist priests she had ever known, and became an ordinary old woman wandering around Pangshan Terrace.

"I think this has something to do with her not breaking off the mortal bond." Shen Hao said that Yang Baozhen and her husband Shen Zhun never broke off the mortal bond after they formed a mortal bond. After that, they still reached the Xingluo realm. This was once a famous thing that Taoist Pangshan was familiar with. The story turns out that one person is obsessed with evil and the other is evil because of love. It once again proves the difficulty of spiritual practice. The so-called finding another way is ultimately a dead end.

Shen Hao made up his mind to ask clearly, "Xiaoqiu, you haven't experienced the love crisis, have you?"

Mu Xingqiu is still in shock. He has never had a good impression of Yang Baozhen, especially since she let go of the murderous Shen Geng. But her experience is still embarrassing. The contradiction between love and Tao is still there. It becomes irreconcilable here.

"Xiao Qiu?" Shen Hao raised his voice.

"No, I didn't survive the love tribulation." Mu Xingqiu came back to his senses, "But I haven't risen to the Dinxia realm either, so this doesn't have much impact on me. My mental illusion..."

"You can't always stop at the seventh level of inhalation." Shen Hao's slender eyes no longer had the slightest bit of ferocity. All he exudes is stability and majesty. In Yangshen Peak, he is the most respected cultivator. "Unlike others, if you have this strength, you should at least reach the starfall, instead of stopping when you inhale."

Cultivation is a voluntary act. Taoist priests encourage and compete with each other, but rarely persuade. Shen Hao is so concerned about Mu Xingqiu's state. Therefore, it seems extremely unusual and difficult to explain even in terms of friendship.

"I will work hard." Mu Xingqiu said, his eyes scanning the faces of the three old friends, waiting for them to reveal their true intentions.

Xiaohao decided to express her opinion, "The realm of inhalation is very good. It has inner elixir, can cast spells, lives longer than ordinary people, and does not have to work as hard as a high-level Taoist priest. My goal is to refine the state of inhalation to the third level. Just fly your own magic weapon, don’t fly too fast, and you can still watch the scenery along the way.”

Shen Hao snorted softly. He really didn't want to argue with a disciple like Xiao Hao.

"You go out and practice the Bone Forging Fist ten more times." Mu Xingqiu said.

"But I'm tired. I want to rest. It's interesting to chat with you." Xiao Hao was neither coquettish nor lying. He simply stated a fact and smiled at everyone after saying it.

"No, boxing is the foundation of mental illusion. If you can't stand this kind of suffering, go back to Chaos Jingshan." Mu Xingqiu himself had never complained about suffering, and he was not soft-hearted towards his new disciples.

Xiao Hao and Mu Xingqiu looked at each other for a while, seeming to test his bottom line, "Okay, now you have the final say."

Xiaohao stood up and left the hall. Mu Xingqiu said to Baldy: "You must look at her ten times."

"Yes!" Baldy liked this task and flew out immediately.

Xiao Qingtao smiled and said, "This little disciple of yours is quite special. It's quite strange that Shen Jixian allowed you to take her in."

"Pangshan needs new disciples and wants to please any Taoist family." Shen Hao took over, then changed the topic and asked: "Are you still Mu Xingqiu guarding Duanliu City?"

"You have to explain things clearly before I can answer you." Mu Xingqiu quickly glanced at Yang Qingyin, wondering why she was so silent today.

"Pangshan can't wait any longer, and the entire Taoist order can't wait any longer." Shen Hao slapped the table and stood up. He survived the love disaster and had the heart of a Taoist priest, but this does not mean that he does not care about anything and is ruthless. Wuyu is a state that only high-level Taoist priests above the Xingluo realm can have. "It has been almost six years since the demon clan occupied Pangshan's ancestral land. The masters and leaders are still discussing endlessly. They only think about how to deal with the demon species and are unwilling to If we waste our strength on the demon clan, then let us low-level Taoist priests kill the demons. They will slay the demons, and we will slay the demons.”

Shen Hao was filled with indignation, with a fierce glint in his eyes, and his stability and majesty immediately disappeared.

Mu Xingqiu waited for a while and asked, "Whose idea was this?"

"A few of us." Xiao Qingtao tried to calm down the atmosphere, "There are others. Several other Taoist orders also have our supporters. .a.c. are all Taoist priests below the realm of swallowing smoke. The total number is about a hundred."

"If we can publicly raise our arms, I believe that more Taoist priests will join, and it will be several times as many as now." Shen Hao suddenly sighed and sat back on the stool, "Originally, you were supposed to be our leader, but you You haven’t reached the realm of Dinxia… But it doesn’t matter, everyone still remembers what you did in Duanliu City…”

"Really?" When Mu Xingqiu first returned to Pangshan, no one even knew him. He did not feel at all that he was the leader that the lower Taoist priests expected.

"The new Taoist priests have never even heard of Laozu Peak, and of course they don't know your deeds. However, the few people who participated in the Battle of Duanliu City still remember you, and they have not forgotten it even after they returned to their own Taoism. It is because of you. Name, we can gather more than a hundred low-level Taoist priests. How about joining? As long as we can gather 500 Taoist priests, preferably 800, we can destroy the demon army in one fell swoop. , retake the ancestral land of Pangshan, and even invade the land of Sheshen and the demons, and eliminate the threat of the demons once and for all before the demons arrive. "

Shen Hao was full of expectations, Xiao Qingtao's eyes were shining, but Mu Xingqiu looked at Yang Qingyin, "Why haven't you spoken?"
