Exorcism

Xin Youtao left Pangshan quite suddenly. It was not until afterwards that his friends discovered through repeated discussions that everything had traces. (っ◔◡◔)っ. .

He was always careless in his practice. Others were working hard to practice in order to reach the Dingxia realm as soon as possible, but he was not in a hurry. As a result, among the several inhalation Taoist priests defending Duanliu City, he was the last one to break through to the seventh level of inhalation. , less than ten days later, I said goodbye to my friends.

Only then did everyone realize that Xin Youtao was trying to stay in Pangshan for a while in a "lazy" way.

Xin Youtao left Pangshan as a Taoist priest of Fengxia and handed over all the magic weapons, including Wangsun Ruyi, which he personally participated in refining. Then he knelt in front of the acting master Shen Jixian and vowed to never call himself a Taoist priest of Pangshan from now on. Everything he did and gained had nothing to do with Pang Shan. He also swore never to be an enemy of Taoism and never kill any Taoist priest. Otherwise, he would be willing to accept the punishment of Taoism.

Although he left the mountain voluntarily, Xin Youtao's treatment was the same as that of Lan Bingke who was expelled from the mountain.

He bid farewell to Shen Hao and Yang Qingyin and invited them to visit the imperial capital if they had the opportunity. "If Mu Xingqiu comes back and is already in the state of concentration, or at least the state of starfall, take him with you. I want to see what happens next." A friend who became a high-level Taoist priest, haha.”

He looked very cheerful at the time, as if he liked this arrangement very much, but he did not say goodbye to Xiao Qingtao, or even entrust Shen and Yang with a message. He just left quietly, going to Duanliu City first. After meeting my sister, I set off for the imperial capital the next day.

The princess had already arranged everything for her younger brother. After Xin Youtao arrived in the imperial capital, he directly joined the Longbin Society and was awarded the fifth crown. This was a high position that most talisman masters could not reach in a lifetime of hard work.

Xin Youtao had a smooth sailing in the imperial capital in the first few months. He wrote a letter every three days and passed it to his sister by flying talisman, introducing his situation in detail and seeking her sister's opinion.

Taoist priest Dianxia changed his career and became a talisman master. This kind of thing has not never happened, but it is very rare. At the same time, Xin Youtao was still the prince of the Western Jie Kingdom. He was of noble birth and flawless. This made him deeply appreciated in Longbinhui, and he won the seventh crown three months later. , became the ink envoy of the Chief Great Talisman Master. This is a position with low status but great power. It indicates that he already has an unlimited future.

All of this is inseparable from the help of the princess. As early as more than ten years ago, she had already started to manage relationships in the Imperial Palace Dragon Bin Club. Even when the Xijie Kingdom was facing the crisis of destruction, she did not give up her efforts. Xin Youtao was able to rise to the top. Most of it is actually her fault.

But from then on, Xin Youtao's letters became less frequent, from one every three days to one every five, seven, or ten days, and the contents were all very brief. The general idea is that he has to learn how to write talismans and serve the chief talisman master. He is so busy every day that he has no time to write letters.

In short, everything is fine, sister, don't worry, that's all.

The princess didn't think so. She found out about her brother's situation through other channels. It was discovered that Xin Youtao had indeed achieved great success in Longbinhui and became a close confidant of the chief Talisman Master in a short period of time, but this also aroused a lot of jealousy.

The Huangjing Longbinhui is composed of thirteen great talisman masters. The chief has the highest status, followed by Zuo Fu, followed by You Bi, San Fu, Si Bi until the Eleven Fu and Twelve Bi. Liang Shiji, who is stationed in Duanliu City, is the Twelve Bi Great Talisman Master.

Although there are no strict rules, according to tradition, after the death of the chief, he is usually succeeded by Zuo Fu or You Bi. Qu Xungui is the most powerful candidate for the next chief. Although he is older, his ambition has not weakened at all. The emperor There are rumors in Beijing that even if the Zuofu only lives one day longer than the chief, he will still find ways to succeed him. Anyone who dares to stand in the way will be his enemy.

Qu Xungui regarded Xin Youtao as his enemy.

The princess indeed hopes that her younger brother will become the chief of Longbinhui one day, which is a great thing for the entire Xijie Kingdom. However, she knows that this road is not easy, and she reminded her younger brother from the beginning not to be too competitive. He is a Taoist priest named Shanxia who can live for at least three hundred years. As long as he waits patiently, he will get his wish sooner or later. There is no need to make enemies now.

For some unknown reason, Xin Youtao only stayed in the imperial capital for a few months before he deviated from his sister's arrangements. While his status rose sharply, he made many enemies.

The princess wrote to inquire, and Xin Youtao wrote back to explain at first, but finally became anxious when asked and simply refused to write. The princess did not receive a letter from her brother for almost a month.

The princess is a very vigilant person, and believes that her brother will never betray her for no reason. Regarding his abnormal behavior in recent times, she can only draw one conclusion: Xin Youtao is in great danger, and he does not want to implicate his sister. That's why he pretended to be ruthless.

The princess is about to marry to the imperial capital. It is not just a marriage, but also the beginning of a series of palace struggles. She has her own war and can't be distracted from taking care of her younger brother, so she asks Mu Xingqiu for help.

Mr. Pan conveyed the princess's words, "The catechumen is not only the prince's best friend, but also the person who has the greatest influence on him. He will listen to what you say. Qu Xungui became extremely powerful because of the battle in Duanliu City, and Xi Jie The country is in a state of turmoil, unable to fight against it, and only the catechumens with their backs on Pang Mountain can compete with it."

After Mu Xingqiu returned to Pangshan, he asked someone to invite Yang Qingyin, Shen Hao and Xiao Qingtao from Yangshen Peak. Together, the four friends sorted out Xin Youtao's experiences in the past half year or so. .

Yang Qingyin didn't care. She knew that if Mu Xingqiu wanted to clear his name for the casual cultivators, he would inevitably conflict with Qu Xungui, so she could take the opportunity to help Xin Youtao.

The friendship between Shen Hao and Xin Youtao has become deeper and deeper over the years, so naturally they cannot sit idly by and say, "Let's go to the Imperial Capital and resolve this matter by the way. I don't believe that Long Binhui would really dare to attack Taoist Pangshan."

"He is no longer Taoist Pangshan. No matter what Long Bin does to him, Pangshan can't interfere." Xiao Qingtao acted very coldly. She was very angry at Xin Youtao's leaving without saying goodbye, and she didn't even plan to go to the imperial capital.

"Don't be angry. The deeper the relationship, the harder it is to say goodbye. Xin Youtao definitely doesn't despise you." Shen Hao advised.

"Hey, it turns out that the relationship between the two of us is as deep as that of ordinary people." Xiao Qingtao was as cold as ice. This was an extremely rare expression for her, and Shen Hao immediately said no more.

Mu Xingqiu didn't want to get involved in the emotional entanglement between the two, so he said: "It's really interesting to say that I am a Pangshan Taoist priest and I have no intention of quitting the Taoist tradition, but Long Binhui secretly attacked me."

"That Liang Shiji was very smart. He deliberately tempted me to cast the spell first, so that even if things got serious, Long Binhui wouldn't have to take responsibility." Mu Xingqiu was glad that he had retained his strength at that time, otherwise, he might be the one who got into trouble. .

"Is there such a rule?" Yang Qingyin frowned. Although she was a daughter of the Taoist sect, she was not interested in the agreements written tens of thousands of years ago.

Mu Xingqiu nodded, "I have studied a book called "Qian Kun Ding", and it is very clear in it that Taoism and Longbinhui will not interfere with each other. If anyone actively crosses the boundary, he will be punished according to Taoism's precepts."

"Why weren't there so many rules when fighting the demon soldiers in Duanliu City?" Yang Qingyin was still indignant.

Shen Hao is a Taoist priest in the Discipline Department. Although he mainly studies the disciplines, he also has an understanding of other disciplines. "When slaying demons, Dao Tong and Long Binhui are in alliance, so they don't have to follow certain rules."

"Then our trip to the imperial capital is in vain?" Yang Qingyin spread her hands, "Xin Youtao has already withdrawn from Pangshan, and we don't even have a reason to help him."

The four of them were silent for a while. Xiao Qingtao couldn't help but say, "Let's just treat him the same way he does. Long Bin will seduce Brother Xiao Qiu to cast the spell first. Let's design it so that Long Bin will reveal his flaws first."

"Good idea." The other three said in unison.

Xiao Qingtao knew that she had been fooled, her face turned red, and she snorted, "I still won't go to the Imperial Capital."

Mu Xingqiu had to get busy. In the next few days, he had to find a way to send Liu Ding, Ouyang Hao and Chen Guanhuo to the princess's mansion without leaving any trace. These three people were still wanted by the government and could not be seen in public.

Veteran Pan Sanye cleverly solved this problem. He was the captain of the princess's palace guard and had been sick all year round. In order to escort the princess to the imperial capital, he needed to recruit ten followers. Liu Ding and three others stayed with Pan Sanye.

Because Xiao Hao was probably recommended to Mu Xingqiu by Young Mo, Zuo Liuying decided to take her to the imperial capital. Naturally, Bald Zi refused to stay alone in Pangshan. Flea also understood something and was eager to try. Every time he saw her Mu Xingqiu jumped up and down to show off his strength.

Mu Xingqiu had no choice but to prepare a backpack and put Baldy in it, and also found a horse from Duanliu City to carry Xiao Hao, who could not fly yet.

Zuo Liuying's requirements were higher. He wanted a carriage that must be completely airtight, with no gaps exposed, and cut off all light and sound. However, he refused to cast the spell himself and left it all to a few low-level Taoist priests.

Everything is ready, it is late June, and the princess is ready to go on the road at any time.

Whether it was intentional or just a coincidence, Zuo Liuying left the mountain before Pangshan elected the official grandmaster, thus avoiding a lot of embarrassment.

The so-called election actually has only one candidate, and it is neither Zuo Liuying, who has already become a Taoist priest, kanh. ｃｍ It is not Shen Jixian who has been acting as the grand master, but the head of the Danyao Department who escaped from Wangshan with Shen Jixian. He is a member of the Yang family. In the past few years, he has ignored chores and concentrated on practice, and finally rose to the level of note. With the first level of god, he is qualified to be a master.

This was something that the high-level Taoist priests had already discussed, and there was no dispute. Zuo Liuying's early departure seemed a bit strange, but he didn't explain it, and no one dared to ask.

Just the day before departure, after supervising Mu Xingqiu's mental illusion as usual, Zuo Liuying said: "I think I have found a way to borrow potential. Don't leave me too far from now on. What we need now is a An enemy, I have to try my move."

Zuo Liuying actually showed a smile when he spoke, as if his conspiracy had succeeded.

Mu Xingqiu was not worried that he would not have any enemies in the imperial capital. He was just wondering about the strange changes in the head of the Forbidden Secret Division. Zuo Liuying's bone-deep indifference seemed to be melting away. Although it was very slow, he was facing For Mu Xingqiu, it was obvious enough.

Zuo Liuying's injury won't destroy the Taoist priest's heart, right?
