Exorcism

Fu Luke once flourished in Taoism, but nearly 100,000 years ago, it separated from Taoism and became the independent Longbin Hui. There is a popular saying that the talismans are not very powerful, so they are not taken seriously by the Taoist tradition. No one has ever seriously tested whether this statement is accurate, until Taoist Pangshan saw Lan Bingqu's magic.

Zuo Liuying claimed to know everything, which was of course an exaggeration. He could not have read all the books. Fu Lu was an area in which he knew very little, so he decided to seek help from authorities - more books. Only part of Pangshan's rich collection of books had been restored, and Zuo Liuying could only seek help from other orthodox traditions, especially those that did not have a talisman department.

He had been staying in the carriage. The camp was full of vigilant talisman masters and Taoist priests, and no one noticed that the head of the Forbidden Secret Department was in contact with Taoist priests thousands of miles away.

Zuo Liuying got everything he wanted, reading and studying day and night. The early records of Taoism were habitually unclear, and many things could only be guessed. He made many attempts and wrote at least a thousand paper talismans, and finally got it. Some facts became clear.

The early talismans were very powerful, but to exert their full power, you need to sacrifice the Fire God Seal, especially those high-level offensive talismans, which cannot be cast without it.

The Fire Sacrifice Seal itself is also a talisman. Its paper material is quite special. It is neither paper nor iron, but the human body itself. Not many people can write this talisman, and those who are qualified to enjoy this talisman are even rarer. Basically, The top noble among humans and a talisman master with seven crowns or above.

As an external source of power, sacrificial fire can greatly enhance the strength of Taoist priests, but it has a serious conflict with the inner elixir. The early Taoism tried to overcome this difficulty. After repeated failures, they decided to hand over the talismans to ordinary mortals. The Talisman Division is still retained, but only some auxiliary Talismans are produced, which can be used without sacrificing the Fire God Seal.

The talisman was originally a combination of people, pen, ink, and paper that injected mana into the talisman. After it is in the hands of mortals, the most important source of mana-the inner elixir is gone. Only the last three materials are left to provide mana, and the power is greatly reduced. Fortunately, the large number of mortals is enough to make up for part of the loss, but the strength of Long Binhui always lags behind Taoism.

The process of writing talismans by Taoist priests is more complicated than that of ordinary people, requiring clever use of magic power. Most of the relevant techniques have been lost and only exist in piles of old papers. The talismans used by casual cultivators such as Lan Bingju are among the oldest spells and are written by Taoist priests themselves.

After listening to Zuo Liuying's introduction, Pangshan Taoist priest had some doubts in his heart. Yang Qingyin spoke first, "How much conflict does the Fire Sacrifice Seal have with the inner alchemy? Do you have to give it to mortals? I see the good people in the Long Bin Club Not many. Ordinary Talisman masters are fine, but those with eight or nine crowns are the worst."

"The inner elixir can bring longevity, and sacrificing the fire god's seal can also extend a part of the lifespan, but it is both. On the contrary, it will shorten the lifespan and gradually make the inner elixir mixed." Zuo Liuying said.

Immortality and pure inner elixir,

These are the two things that Taoist priests care about most. Of course I am willing to bear the pain and give up my love for them.

"So Lan Bingke must also have a seal for worshiping the God of Fire?" The bald man listened with interest, and even felt that the story told by the leader had a different flavor, but was too simple. "Then when will she die of a sudden illness?"

"She is in the Xingluo realm. She is already old. The conflict between the inner elixir and the Fire Sacrifice Seal is even more serious. If my calculations are correct, she only has less than ten years left in her life."

Lan Bingju arranged for himself to die when he was eight hundred years old, with more than a hundred years left before the deadline. Now less than one-tenth is left, and the loss can be described as huge.

"Just for a few talismans. Is she willing to make such a big sacrifice?" Shen Hao found it difficult to understand.

"She may not know about it. The person who offered her the Fire God Seal and Talisman. Either deliberately concealed it, or he himself had only a little knowledge and did not tell her about the dangers involved."

No one else said anything, only the bald man grinned, "It turns out she was deceived. The next time I see her... No, no, I can't say it. No one should say it. We will tell her when she is about to die." The truth. Haha, fun.”

"But is it dangerous for Xin Youtao to become a talisman master?" Xiao Qingtao had already thought of the prince, so she asked now.

"He is a Taoist priest of Xixia. The inner elixir is not strong enough, so the conflict will be slightly smaller, and his lifespan will be shortened by about fifty years. But if he frequently uses the Fire God Seal to sacrifice the talisman, the inner elixir will gradually become mixed and become more and more like If you practice casually, your life span will be further affected.

Xiao Qingtao sighed. She originally disagreed with Xin Youtao's choice, but now she felt even more unworthy of him, "Is it worth making such a big sacrifice for the sake of power in the world?"

No one could give her an answer, not even Zuo Liuying. Xin Youtao was not the first person to abandon Taoism and learn talismans. Although their lifespans were shortened, they were still much longer than mortals and talisman masters, and they did not have to force themselves to be ruthless and annihilate their desires. You can enjoy it to your heart's content, which is indeed attractive to some Taoist priests.

Mu Xingqiu had been listening quietly. He and Xin Youtao were friends, but he would not interfere with the prince's choice. Then he asked: "The talisman is more powerful in the hands of Taoist priests. Why does Lan Binghu's critical talisman fail?"

This question troubled everyone for ten days. Even Xiao Qingtao looked at Zuo Liuying curiously and refused to let himself think about Xin Youtao anymore.

"This is another reason why I called you here. Since the enemy wants to use talismans to deal with Pang Shan, we must have a way to deal with it. We can't just hope that they will die early."

Baldy had never had such a good impression of the leader, and felt that every word he said made sense, "That's right. Lan Bingke can live for another ten years. We can't afford to wait, if this hatred is forgotten. So you have to take revenge as soon as possible..."

Zuo Liuying ignored the head, grabbed a piece of paper charm from beside him, shook it gently, the paper burned into ashes, and a small flame appeared at the door of the carriage. It was weaker than a candle in the wind and looked almost harmless. force.

In fact, it can only be regarded as a talisman. Zuo Liuying spent ten days learning to write talismans. He did not have any special pens, black paper, or paper at hand. All he poured into it was his own magic power, but he did not sacrifice the Fire God Seal. He did twice the result with half the effort. The talismans produced are not as good as those of a new talisman master.

His intention was not to show off the power of the talisman.

"It turns out that the power of the talisman is still contained in the material, even if it turns into ashes, so as long as the ashes are broken in time, the talisman can be disabled." Shen Hao understood and looked at Mu Xingqiu, "That night you broke the blue curling kettle His sharp talisman saved everyone."

"It was the instructions given to me by the Chief." Only now did Mu Xingqiu realize that Zuo Liuying's instructions turned out to be a risk. The Chief had not fully confirmed the weakness of Fu Lu at that time.

"Fortunately, I guessed it right." Zuo Liuying said calmly, "To be precise, talismans and spells are two kinds of power. They are connected by something that I don't understand well. If one is moved, the other will Reaction occurs. When you meet someone like Lan Bingju again, you must seize the opportunity to cast a spell. There is a very short interval between the talisman turning into ashes and the spell taking effect. Only when the ashes are broken will the effect be greatest. good."

Lan Bingju is not yet proficient in the technique of offering sacrifices to talismans. For Taoist priests, as long as they are serious when facing a battle, this time is enough.

Everyone looked excited, especially Shen Hao, whose confidence doubled.

"There is only one question left. Who is the person who wrote the talisman? If you find him, you may be able to find Pangshan's enemies."

"Didn't Lan Bingke write it himself?" Xiao Qingtao asked softly.

"Since it is utilization, all the power will not be put into the hands of one person. Lan Bingqu has learned the technique of sacrificial talisman, and the person who is used to write the talisman must be another person. It is easy to learn the sacrificial talisman, but difficult to write the talisman. It must be taught in person. If you find the person who wrote the talisman, you will probably be able to find the mastermind behind it."

Xiao Qingtao's face changed slightly, "Could it be Xin Youtao?"

There are many people who possess inner elixirs, but using Taoist priests to write talismans is a dangerous thing. Once exposed, it will cause discord among Taoists. Xin Youtao abandoned Taoism and learned talismans, and already had a certain status in Longbinhui. He was the perfect target to be exploited. Everyone had long suspected it, but rarely mentioned it.

"This is your mission. There are not many people in the Longbin Society who have inner elixirs. After arriving at the Imperial Capital, you have to investigate everyone."

The Taoist priests responded and began to feel the importance of the trip to the imperial capital.

Zuo Liuying signaled everyone to step back, leaving only Mu Xingqiu, "Your mission is to track Lan Bingju. Although the hope is slim, the enemies behind the scenes may still show their feet to her."

"yes."

Zuo Liuying took out a piece of candle, "During the last battle, I left a mark on her body, and I can use this candle to track her. She is a proud person, and her last failure must have made her extremely angry. These days She has been running around here and there, probably looking for the person who gave her the talisman."

"I'll leave right away. I'll be alone in the first seat...is that okay?"

Zuo Liuying's spells were still unpredictable, but he was injured after all. If he really encountered a powerful enemy, he would still need Mu Xingqiu's spiritual energy.

"Lan Bingju did me a favor. Because of her provocation, no one probably thinks I'm weak and can be bullied anymore. Just go ahead and don't take risks or expose your strength. If the enemy is very strong, use this."

Zuo Liuying took out another black orb. He left both the candle and the orb in mid-air. Mu Xingqiu held it in his hand. After waiting for a while, seeing that the first person said nothing else, he turned around and walked out of the carriage.

It was getting dark, and Xiaohao was practicing boxing alone outside. She was not a disciple of Pangshan, so she did not enter Zuo Liuying's carriage. Looking at her, she didn't seem to care.

The flame of the candle indicated a general direction. Based on the length of the flame, Mu Xingqiu judged that Lan Bingping should be five hundred miles away, which was not too far away.

Without saying goodbye to anyone, he quietly walked out of the camp and rose into the air. He didn't fly far when he found someone following him.

Yang Qingyin came up, her eyes only staring forward, with no intention of asking for his consent. The bald man stopped on her shoulder and grinned at Mu Xingqiu, "Don't even think about leaving us behind."

Mu Xingqiu sped up.
