Exorcism

The area left by the Imperial Capital to the Nine Avenues has existed for tens of thousands of years. It is located due east and is like a small country within a country. The replacement of dynasties and changes in power have never affected it. The surrounding towers are With the support of the talisman, it grew taller and taller, looking down at this area like a giant, without ever seeing through any of the secrets of the nine ancient courtyards.

The residents of Huangjing are very secretive about this area. If they are questioned by curious outsiders, they will say in a mysterious tone: "Where the immortals live, only talisman masters can enter. You'd better stay away."

In fact, ordinary people cannot set foot in this place. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, they will always be politely blocked by the Talisman Master.

The Taoist priests in the nine courtyards will soon lose interest in the imperial capital, and they would rather associate with people of the same Taoism.

The news of combining weapons to discuss Taoism had already spread, and the young low-level Taoist priests were itching. The fight scheduled between the two Pangshan Taoist priests just ignited this enthusiasm. The Taoist priests did not even give the two people time to rest, and that night they There is a fight to be had.

The location is ready-made. Among the nine courtyards, only Wangshan Taoist Hall is empty. Ding Wei, the only Wangshan Taoist who has not hidden himself, is willing to provide Pangshan as a place for fighting. The future gatherings of the Combination Weapon Discussion and Demon Slaying Association will be held there. Held here.

Before they could see what their room looked like, Mu Xingqiu and Shen Hao were taken to Wangshan Gym by several members of the Pangshan Demon Slayer Club. Here, Mu Xingqiu met Ding Wei for the first time. It was him. He single-handedly revived the Taoist talismans. Although it was only the beginning, it has already attracted the attention of many Taoist priests.

Ding Wei looks to be in his thirties, but is actually over a hundred years old. To reach the realm of smoking at this age is not too early in the Taoist tradition, but as a disciple of the Forbidden Secrets, it is even more late.

Dingwei is short. He has a mediocre appearance, and would have been easily ignored if he hadn't been wearing a Taoist robe and a bun on his head. But as long as they look at each other for a moment, everyone will be attracted by his gaze. It was a passionate yet restrained look, deep, wise, and powerfully persuasive, as if it could move people's hearts before even giving a reason.

"Finally I see you, friend of Taoism." Ding Wei personally greeted him and recognized Mu Xingqiu among the Taoist priests in Pangshan at a glance. "I heard that you are coming to the imperial capital. I can't even practice meditation these days. . There is always one thing on my mind - hope, the hope you have brought to me and to the Nine Paths."

It is not common for a Taoist priest who swallows smoke to value an inhaling Taoist priest so much. The Taoist priests in Pangshan are very happy. Only Shen Hao is not convinced, and Mu Xingqiu feels a little blushing, "Fellow Taoist Ding thinks too highly of me. I am just a Taoist priest from Pangshan who is still practicing. With people like the masters, chief ministers and fellow Taoist Ding around, I cannot afford the word 'hope'."

Ding Wei laughed several times. I first greeted the other Taoist priests and invited a dozen Pangshan Taoist priests to enter the main hall of the Taoist temple.

After everyone is seated. He said: "Tonight's fight is Pangshan's event. I just provide the venue, so I will leave later. Without delaying fellow Taoists from talking about business, I just want to say a few more words: Taoism has only existed for too long. "For a long time, we have believed that the high-level Taoist priests are in control of everything. They have sharp eyes and have plans for all accidents. They can easily defeat Taoism's enemies."

"But the facts of the past few years have proven that the high-level Taoist priests also made mistakes. They failed to anticipate the rise of the demon clan, failed to protect the Ancestor Peak of Pangshan Mountain, and failed to stop the civil strife in Luanjing Mountain."

"Everything is accidental. When these things happen, we cannot put all the blame on high-level Taoist priests. On the contrary, we should reflect on our mistakes. Are we too obedient and too gullible? As a result, we have lost a little bit of the spirit that young people should have. And vitality?"

"All practitioners want to have the heart of a Taoist priest, like a calm lake that reflects all the changes in the world but remains unmoved. But when the world is in danger of collapse, should this lake remain calm? I am still young, I can’t watch the world being destroyed. I believe that besides practicing, there are more important things in this world that are worth doing. In short, I want to do something.”

This was not just a few words, but a passionate speech. Ding Wei's eyes moved slowly, and everyone was staring at it, sending his words into each other's minds. The expression on his face was not rich, but his voice was. It is extremely contagious, as if begging for understanding, and also as if giving an unquestionable order.

Shen Hao and others had come into contact with Ding Wei and admired him very much. They were soon aroused with enthusiasm. Whether it was the Taoist priest Dingxia or the Taoist priest Sui, they all nodded like mortal youths, and their lips closed tighter and tighter. It seemed like we were about to embark on the battlefield.

Ding Wei stared at Mu Xingqiu for a particularly long time, and the last few words were completely addressed to him, "What you did in Duanliu City and Luanjing Mountain brought hope to the lower Taoist priests. At that time, you didn't Waiting for the masters and leaders to solve all the problems, you did something that the low-level Taoist priests couldn't even think of, and then you succeeded. Maybe you can't see it yourself, but it's because you are standing in the middle of the flames. , you still don’t know how far and how many people you have illuminated.”

Just as Mu Xingqiu was about to argue that things were not that simple, Yang Qingyin next to him spoke first, "If you stand in the middle of the flames, why don't you burn it to ashes? It's so stupid to illuminate others in this way."

Ding Wei smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Yang is a real person, what I said went too far."

"Not only is it too much, it's also very biased. Defending Duanliu City is not the work of Mu Xingqiu alone. We are all here, and a few of them gave their lives for this. The first Zuo Liuying was not idle either, and he was able to defeat the monster in the end. Bing, he has the greatest credit. If you let Mu Xingqiu illuminate the Nine Paths alone, are we just bugs beside the fire?"

Yang Qingyin's words were harsh, and Shen Hao was about to open his mouth to smooth things over, but Ding Wei signaled that he did not need help, and he gave Yang Qingyin a deep Taoist gift, "Fellow Taoist Yang taught you the right lesson, I was too biased, Taoism's hope lies in everyone." . I don’t need to disturb you with my nonsense. Please feel free to use Wangshan Gym. I will leave first.”

Yang Qingyin stared at Ding Wei as he walked out of the main hall, looking back at Shen Hao and others with dissatisfaction, "What are you doing? I hate this kind of demagogue. He wants you to rip out your heart and lungs before you even know him." "After that, she stared at Mu Xingqiu, and she also disliked his emotional illusion techniques.

Taoist priest Pangshan knew Yang Qingyin's temper and no one would argue with her.

While Yang Qingyin was speechless for a moment, Xiao Qingtao said: "Aren't we going to decide on the candidate for the leader of the Demon Slayer Association? Since everyone is here, let's express our opinions now. If there is no controversy, there will be no need to fight tonight."

Xiao Qingtao hoped to put an end to the matter, but Shen Hao was the first to be unwilling, "There still needs to be a fight of skills. When discussing Taoism together, the Pangshan candidate will have to fight with other Taoist candidates no matter what. Although the strength of the spells does not mean that Everything, but the strong always get more support, right?”

The seven Pangshan Taoist priests who had been staying in the imperial capital had made a lot of preparations for this fight. Of course, they did not want it to end in vain. They all nodded in agreement with Shen Hao, "Besides, the disciples of all the Taoist traditions know about this, and we will do it later." Come and watch, you won’t be disappointed.”

Yang Qingyin's anger had subsided and she was looking forward to the fight. She said loudly: "It's just a matter of deciding on the candidates. It doesn't have to be too complicated. Let's just leave it like this. No matter who we support in our hearts, it all depends on the outcome of the fight. Who wins? Who wins?" It’s the Pangshan candidate.”

Mu Xingqiu was famous and Shen Hao had high prestige. It was really difficult for the Taoist priests to choose between the two, so Yang Qingyin's proposal was immediately agreed.

"Three miles long, one mile wide, and can be made even bigger." A Pangshan Taoist priest said, "You can cast spells at will here, and it can even withstand Taoist Xingluo's spells. There are auditoriums on both sides, protected by barriers. , will not be affected by the spell. The discussion on combining weapons will be held here in the next few days.”

Everyone dispersed to watch the details of the fighting hall.

Mu Xingqiu quickened his pace, approached Yang Qingyin, and whispered "Thank you" in a low voice.

"Thank me for what?" Yang Qingyin was stroking the wall, trying to see if it was really strong.

"Thank you for saying those words for me." Mu Xingqiu smiled slightly. In fact, he agreed with Ding Wei's point of view, but he also felt that the speech was too sudden, and Ding Wei's expression was modest, but his words contained strong words. It seems that Taoist priests who oppose or disagree with him are stubborn.

"Hey, be careful, you have met your opponent." Yang Qingyin's expression was still cold, but when she walked away, her steps seemed much more relaxed.

The bald man stayed on Mu Xingqiu's shoulder and said in confusion: "Brother Xiaoqiu, if you have anything else to say, let me say it for you. I'm good at this kind of thing."

Mu Xingqiu turned around and joined the other Taoist priests. Shen Hao raised his arms and said, "This fighting hall was built by fellow Taoist Ding. It's really good."

"Very good, .ansｓ.c Did he use a talisman?" Mu Xingqiu felt that a Taoist priest who swallowed smoke might not have such ability without help.

"Well, the talismans are all written on the stone wall and will not be exposed. I will also use some talismans tonight, so be careful."

"Don't be careless, don't think that I just inhale the seventh level of strength."

The two stared at each other without giving in, and suddenly laughed at the same time.

The hair on the third floor that the bald man used to support his body trembled slightly, "I'm so excited. I really hope all my friends in Yelin Town are here."

Wangshan Taoist Ding Wei appeared again, his expression calm and composed, and did not change his attitude at all because of Yang Qingyin's rudeness. He walked up to Mu and Shen and said, "Xin Youtao, the ink envoy under the chief talisman master of Longbinhui, I am here to visit and hope to meet you two immediately. I heard that he was also a Taoist priest from Pangshan in the past, so he should be acquainted with the two Taoists, right?"

"We are very familiar." Mu Xingqiu paused, "Maybe we are still friends."
