Exorcism

Picking the fruits of victory requires not only superb skills, but also strong strength. It is on the latter point that the princess of Xijie Kingdom is completely at a disadvantage. She has tried her best to win benefits for Xijie Kingdom, and even obtained benefits from Dongjie Kingdom. He carved out a large piece of territory as his own, but when the hungry lions came running, the vultures and wild dogs could only stay away. . S.

Qu Xungui is the representative of the lions. Behind him is the entire Holy Talisman Dynasty, with millions of soldiers and tens of thousands of Talisman masters. Although he is more like an opportunistic fox on the battlefield, on another battlefield after the war, He showed his true colors as a lion.

At that time, Mu Xingqiu was practicing in seclusion at Luanjing Mountain. Pangshan welcomed back more than a hundred disciples of the Five Elements. He finally established a firm foothold and chose a hill to the north of Duanliu City to build a Taiyuan. He was unwilling to interfere in the affairs of mortals anymore. , allowing Qu Xungui to fight for power on both sides of the Jiehe River.

Under the control of Qu Xungui, the entire battle situation changed: Huang Fu's army became the only main force in the battle of Duanliu City. They were fighting against the demon army from beginning to end, and all the princes' troops, including Xi Jie* The * troops are all inconspicuous servants. They are only responsible for cleaning up the battlefield after the war, spreading the reputation of the Yellow Fu Army and showing gratitude.

Princess Xijie endured the humiliation without showing any dissatisfaction, and ordered her soldiers to accept this outcome. She was not stingy in rewarding her merits, but she did not allow anyone to show off their merits publicly.

Qu Xungui was once forced to release a group of casual cultivators. Once he had his hands free, he decided to save his dignity and sent a large number of talisman masters and soldiers to hunt down the casual cultivators everywhere, claiming that they were all spies of the demon clan, because some casual cultivators did defect to him. The demon clan may have a close relationship with the demon clan, so it is difficult for the casual cultivators to get rid of the crime of espionage.

The Princess of Xijie Kingdom once hinted that she could shelter casual cultivators, but everyone knew that Xijie Kingdom was weak and it was impossible for the princess to openly disobey Zuo Fu's orders. Her place was not a safe place to stay for a long time.

The hunt for rogue cultivators would have been another of Qu Xungui's exploits. But a group of talisman masters betrayed him. Liu Ding is the leader of more than 30 Talisman Masters. They all participated in the Battle of Duanliu City and witnessed the casual cultivators fighting on the side of humans. They would rather take off the Talisman Crowns on their heads than massacre them with their own hands. Former comrade-in-arms.

Liu Ding and others leaked the news in advance and embarked on the road to escape with the casual cultivators.

Several talisman masters were not angry and secretly went to the imperial capital to complain to the chief talisman master. As a result, after Qu Xungui led his army back to the capital, not only were they not questioned, but they fabricated accusations and killed all the complainants. Then, in the name of the emperor and Long Binhui, he promulgated the "Demon Cultivation Order" to the world, treating all casual cultivators as criminals.

Loose cultivators from various countries were not favored by the government in the first place, and now they were being hunted by the Holy Talisman Dynasty. They had no choice but to flee further, even deep into the land of monsters, while some hid in the hope that one day they could clear their names.

Yang Qingyin has been in constant contact with this group of fleeing cultivators and talisman masters.

In fact, even their hiding place was provided by her. And cast a lot of spells to prevent being discovered by Huang Fujun.

Taoist priests cannot interfere in the affairs of Long Binhui, especially after the war, the two sides returned to the state of being in conflict with each other. Yang Qingyin had to be wary of Long Binhui's talisman master, and she also had to hide the Taoist priests on the mountain. Even Shen Hao and Xiao Qingtao were kept in the dark.

"When General Mu comes back, things will be easier to handle." The casual cultivators and talisman masters hiding in the cave became more and more excited. "Who else knows the truth about Duanliu City better than General Mu?"

Mu Xingqiu smiled at the crowd and asked the casual cultivators of Lian Haishan, "Why are you here?"

The Dharma Protector, Sima Chen Guanhuo, held a handful of beards on his chest. He shook his head helplessly, "That night, the catechumens made the fish-dragon array fly away. After we left Luanjing Mountain, we felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so we didn't go to find the Dharma King..."

The accident in Lian Haishan was much simpler. The casual cultivators suffered heavy casualties in those days and were full of fear and hatred for the life and death mage Wang Lanbing. Once they were out of her surveillance range, they immediately became dissatisfied and fled in all directions. They did not dare to stay in the south. , had no choice but to flee to the north, but caught up with the order to hunt down rogue cultivators that spread all over the world.

There were already connections among the loose cultivators, so some Lian Haishan loose cultivators met up with Ouyang Hao and others and hid together.

"The Dharma King is also chasing the monk Lian Haishan." Chen Guanhuo is a tall man with a beard that hangs straight down his waist. However, when he mentions the word "Dharma King", his eyes are still as panicked as a child's, "Many people have died at her hands. She said that even the life of the monk Haishan belongs to her. "

There were too many people in the cave, and they all wanted to talk to General Mu. Liu Ding stopped everyone and invited Mu Xingqiu and Yang Qingyin to talk in a hidden dark room, accompanied by casual cultivators Ouyang Hao and Chen Guanhuo.

"Where is your master?" Mu Xingqiu asked Ouyang Shu.

The young casual cultivator is not as energetic as he was a few years ago, and is slightly frustrated, "My master went to find Mr. Yishi. He wanted to find out what happened to the Ancient God Religion and why Mr. Yishi didn't personally come forward to resolve the conflict between the demon clan and the demon clan. Human hatred."

Mu Xingqiu had nothing to say, feeling that Hong Futian's death would be a disaster.

In the dark room, Liu Ding revealed more details, "A few years ago, just after the war, you all went to Luanjing Mountain. There was a strange rumor among the Fulu masters, saying that Qu Xungui had found the way to immortality. , he was so excited that he accidentally spilled the beans in front of several cronies. "

"Have you found the way to immortality?" Mu Xingqiu was puzzled. He remembered clearly that at that time, Qu Xungui had gone to any lengths to prolong his life, and was even willing to become a demon. However, he had not heard of any demons appearing in the past few years. , even if Qu Xungui had a chance encounter and gave birth to Taoist roots, he would not be able to practice inner elixir at his age, let alone live forever.

"Well, it is said that he secretly made a deal with Qi Wushang. The demon king provided the way to immortality, and Qu Xungui guaranteed that Huang Fu's army would not take the initiative to attack the demon army. Judging from the situation in the past few years, Qu Xungui did True to his promise, he hunted down rogue cultivators and diverted the attention of the Holy Talisman Dynasty. "

Ouyang Hao added: "Also, Qu Xungui is particularly interested in the inner elixir of casual cultivators. He captured many people alive and then harvested the inner elixir. I heard that this is an important material for him to refine the elixir of longevity."

Mu Xingqiu thought for a moment, but still found it difficult to explain. Some monsters have longer lifespans, but that is a natural ability that humans cannot learn. However, this is not the most pressing matter at the moment. He said: "You have all been with me. Fight, I will not ignore this matter, I will go to the imperial capital soon and must restore your innocence."

Liu Ding and others looked happy. They had been hiding in the dark underground cave for several years. They were waiting for this sentence. Mu Xingqiu was not only the most important participant in the battle of Duanliu City, but also a Taoist priest from Pangshan. He was the only one who was both He is willing to help and has the ability to confront Qu Xungui.

Liu Ding had been waiting for more than five years and knew how difficult it was to overthrow Qu Xungui. "It would be great if General Mu could go to the imperial capital, but you are a Taoist priest and it is inconvenient for you to do so, so why not take me with you. If necessary, I can accuse Qu Xungui of falsely claiming military merit in front of the emperor and the chief talisman master."

"I'll go too." Ouyang Hao showed excited eyes and regained some vitality. He was really tired of hiding in the cave. "When it comes to the safety of all casual cultivators, someone must speak up."

Liu Ding glanced at Mu Xingqiu and nodded, "Okay."

Chen Guanhuo let out a long sigh. The threats he faces are not only Long Binhui, but also the more terrifying French King Lan Curling. "If necessary, count me in."

"It's necessary." Mu Xingqiu said immediately, "The three of you go to the imperial capital with me, and the others don't need to."

Liu Ding and Ouyang Hao happily agreed, but Chen Guanhuo was shocked. He didn't expect that his politeness was taken seriously. "Of course I am willing to go, but His Holiness... don't delay important events because of me."

"It's okay. I'm going to the imperial capital this time with the princess, and I'm going with the head of the Pangshan Forbidden Secret Department. There's nothing to be afraid of."

"His Holiness's nephew is also going? That would be great." Chen Guanhuo breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't know that Zuo Liuying was still seriously injured at this time.

Everyone briefly discussed the plan and left the dark room. Liu Ding announced that General Mu would go to the imperial capital in person to rectify the grievances of the loose cultivators. There were cheers in the cave, and some even knelt down excitedly.

Mu Xingqiu and Yang Qingyin hurriedly said goodbye. They had to return to Pangshan early to avoid arousing suspicion.

The two walked some distance outside so that if anyone spotted them flying, they wouldn't immediately find the location of the cave.

"You won't blame me for being nosy, right? If they were all killed, you would be relaxed now." Yang Qingyin said as she walked.

Mu Xingqiu stopped Yang Qingyin and said solemnly: "I am very grateful to you. If you hadn't saved these people's lives, I would have felt guilty for the rest of my life. I'm afraid even my practice would have been affected."

"Speaking of practice, I finally understand why Taoist priests don't care about mortal affairs. Where there is a beginning, there must be an end. Even if everything goes well when you arrive in the imperial capital, you may not be able to avoid entanglements with mortals in the future."

"Anyway, I'm just a Taoist priest. I might stay here for the rest of my life. Why should I worry about any entanglements?" Mu Xingqiu said with a smile.

Yang Qingyin continued to walk forward and mocked in a low voice: "There are disciples who don't seek to improve, and there are defenders who don't seek to improve. Alas, it seems impossible for Nianxin Ke to rise again."

Mu Xingqiu smiled and said nothing. He had many things to do, but Fuxing Nianxin was not among them.

The two of them hurried back to Pangshan under the cover of night, wwanh.cm Before breaking up, Yang Qingyin said, "Shen Hao and I will also go to the Imperial Capital with you."

"What are you going to do? This is not a fight."

"Don't think too much. That group of people is left to you and has nothing to do with me. The high-level Taoist priests of the eight Taoist traditions are negotiating in the imperial capital, and we low-level Taoist priests just happened to get together to discuss other things. You are busy with your business. We’re busy with our business.”

"Where's Xiao Qingtao, isn't she going?"

"As long as Xin Youtao is in the imperial capital, she will not go." Yang Qingyin turned and left.

Mu Xingqiu returned to his house. It was already dark at this time, and the wormwood and the fleas had rested. But the bald man suddenly jumped out from the corner, his hair was covered with dust, and there was a letter wrapped around his three strands of hair. He was extremely excited and said, "Brother Xiaoqiu, someone is inviting us to have a drink and dinner."

Mu Xingqiu took the letter and read it over. It turned out that General Huang Fujun stationed in Duanliu City invited him to a banquet the day after tomorrow. He closed the letter and thought what a coincidence.
