Exorcism

Xiaohao's enthusiasm for Nianxin Illusion returned, and she became more serious when practicing boxing. However, she stopped after only three times, turned around and asked, "When can I practice to be as good as you?"

Taoist priests like to be quiet, so Pangshan Taoist Hall is divided into many independent courtyards. The three houses are surrounded by walls, and tall ancient trees are planted in the corners. They look very ordinary, but they are squeezed out of a small area using magic. of. vertex = point = .

Mu Xingqiu was sitting on a futon by the tree practicing the second inner elixir in the Niwan Palace. He had just finished a round of thinking and opened his eyes when he heard Xiao Hao's question, "Everyone's cultivation speed is different. "It depends on your talent and how hard you work."

"Talent is something you are born with. There is no point in worrying now. Work hard...if I work half as hard as you, will I be half as good as you?"

"No, if you don't advance in your cultivation, you will retreat. If you only work half as hard as I do, you might not even be able to maintain your current strength."

Xiao Hao raised her head and pondered, as if she was silently calculating how hard she should work.

Mu Xingqiu really felt that the young disciple recommended by Youmo was a bit difficult to deal with. Just as he was about to close his eyes and re-enter the state of contemplation, the bald man crossed the courtyard wall and landed between the two of them. His face was filled with excitement, "A lot of Taoist priests are here again." , all want to participate in the demon-slaying meeting, and ask around about Brother Xiaoqiu and Nian Xinke, Brother Xiaoqiu, you can manage hundreds of people. "

Baldy has a new hobby in the past two days, running around in several gyms. Whenever he hears someone mention Mu Xingqiu's name, he always goes over to listen. If someone says something nice, he will provide information endlessly. If anyone questions him, he will frown.

"The Demon Slayer Guild hasn't chosen me as its leader yet." Mu Xingqiu couldn't think anymore and had to stand up.

"Who else can you choose if you don't choose? Shen Hao has quit. No other Taoist priest can beat you..." Baldy has felt that the most powerful people since he was a child are Mu Xingqiu and Shen Hao. After staying in Taoism for several years, this The impression hasn't changed either.

Before he finished speaking, Shen Hao really opened the door and entered the hospital, and the bald man immediately shut up. Smiling silently.

Shen Hao brought more than ten guests, who were from different Taoist traditions and were all elites among the lower Taoist priests. Shen Hao introduced their names one by one and said to the two extra people: "Xiao Hao, take the bald man out to play.

The bald man was unhappy and put away his smile, "Obviously I was the one taking her..." After that, he flew ahead and left the yard first.

Xiaohao understood the occasion well and nodded to the female Taoist Priest Luanjingshan among the guests. Walk away.

Qishan Taoist Yang Qingyuan was one of the guests.

Acting as the spokesperson for several Taoist traditions, "The joint debate will be held in three days. The candidates for each Taoist tradition have been determined and are basically here. In order to avoid meaningless disputes then, I think we should communicate in advance. What do you think, everyone wants to talk about their plans for the future of the Demon Slayer Club, so as to minimize differences and make the final election simpler?"

"This is a good idea." Mu Xingqiu nodded in agreement. The three houses were not big, so he did not invite anyone in. He just stood casually in the courtyard and asked, "Fellow Daoist Yang is a candidate for Qishan?"

"Yeah. We are both." Yang Qingyuan pointed to another Taoist priest. Except for Lookout Mountain, there were eleven candidates from the eight Taoist schools, and three of them recommended two.

Shen Hao is the only non-candidate here. Consciously assuming the identity of the host, "All Taoist friends are all old people in the Demon Slaying Association. Mu Xingqiu joined later. If you have any opinions, feel free to speak freely. There is no need to be polite or modest. There are no high-level Taoist priests in the Demon Slaying Association to monitor you. It’s all up to us.”

Everyone looked at each other, and the first one to speak was Luanjingshan Taoist Priest.

The female Taoist priest named Bai Qing had met Mu Xingqiu several times. She nodded to him and said, "The purpose of establishing the Demon Slayer Association is very simple, which is to respond to the challenges of the demon clan. If I become the leader, I can persuade Luan Jingshan to With at least a hundred Taoist priests below Fengxia joining, they will be able to launch an attack on the demon tribe of Xijie Kingdom within three months. I believe that as long as five hundred low-level Taoist priests are gathered together, we can fight against the demon soldiers, and eight hundred people can be sure of victory."

The next person to speak was the Yashan Taoist priest. He seemed a little shy and spoke very fast, as if reciting, "The high-level Taoist priests must have known about the existence of the Demon Slayer Association. They did not stop it, but they acquiesced. So if I become the leader, first The thing is to try to win the public support of the masters and the help of high-level Taoist priests..."

The opinions of the Yashan candidates were immediately opposed by everyone. The Demon Slaying Association was gaining momentum and no one wanted to be influenced by the high-ranking Taoist priests. The shy Taoist priests had no power to resist and were quickly defeated. They could only say one sentence. : “I respect everyone’s opinions.

The Taoist priests continued talking one after another. Most of them, like Bai Qing, promised the number of participants in their Taoist order and the time for the war. They all had a contemptuous attitude towards the demon clan, thinking that without the demon fire mountain, the enemy would not be afraid. Several people mentioned the talisman. Although they mentioned it in one word, they all praised it.

Several Taoist traditions held a battle to determine the candidates. At least five Taoist priests, including Shen Hao, had used the talisman, and the effect was extremely obvious. They won four out of five battles, which left a deep impression on the Taoist priests watching.

The second to last speaker was Yang Qingyuan, "My idea is very simple. First, we can no longer rely on high-level Taoist priests. If the masters and leaders are willing to take action, we will not need to set up a demon-slaying association. Let them concentrate on Let’s deal with the demons, we will deal with them.”

His words were approved by the Taoist priests. Even the Yashan Taoist priests who hoped to get the support of the master nodded frequently. Yang Qingyuan was deeply encouraged and continued: "Second, don't underestimate the demon tribe. Some of us have directly fought against the demon tribe's army. , the demon soldiers are not all hiding behind the Demon Fire Mountain. They have learned many new demon arts over the years, their strength has been greatly enhanced, and their numbers are large. It is said that the Demon King Qi Wushang has been standing still and is recruiting troops from the Kingdom of Sacrifice and the lands of the demons. . Third, the demon clan is unprecedentedly powerful, and Taoism cannot admit defeat, but it should not take unnecessary risks and sacrifices. Therefore, if I become the leader, I must immediately prepare enough Taoism talismans. The Nine Great Dao Tong were taken aback, and we have to catch them off guard."

Yang Qingyuan looked at Mu Xingqiu. His words were mainly addressed to Taoist Pangshan.

"If I become the leader -" Mu Xingqiu paused for a moment. To be honest, he hadn't fully thought about it yet, and many of his plans were only in embryonic form. There are no mature details yet, "The Holy Talisman Dynasty and the twelve vassal states will be launched to fight alongside the Taoist priests. Several fellow Taoists have mentioned the Talisman. I have some doubts about this, and I hope someone can answer it."

"Please tell me, I will try my best to answer." Yang Qingyuan said politely, but he was ready for tit-for-tat. The other Taoist priests were waiting for this moment, and they all consciously shut up and listened.

"The Long Bin Society is not a problem. There are only a few people who are opposed to cooperating with the Demon Slayer Society. Fellow Taoist Ding Weiding from Wangshan has made many talisman masters. As long as he opens his mouth, no matter how much material he has, it won't be a problem."

Mu Xingqiu nodded. "There is also the most important material that Long Binhui cannot provide, which is the old inner elixir left by the deceased Taoist priests. They are all in the hands of the masters and heads of each Taoist lineage. Who can convince them to hand over the inner elixir to the lower level? Waiting for the Taoist priest?”

Yang Qingyuan had already expected that Mu Xingqiu would raise this issue, and was fully prepared. He looked at the Taoist priests around him and said seriously: "Taoism has preserved a large number of old inner elixirs for hundreds of thousands of years. There is no need to wait for more at this time. When? Although this item is rare, it is not all controlled by high-level Taoist priests. Fellow Taoist Shen Jiyi Shen has obtained a few of the talismans that you have seen these days. The inner elixir used is provided by Fellow Taoist Shen. . As long as the Demon Slayer Association chooses a leader, Fellow Daoist Shen is willing to tell you the method of obtaining the elixir and share it with everyone."

The problem of materials can be solved, and the Taoist priests have all seen the benefits of the talisman, and they all nodded in agreement. Mu Xingqiu did not ask any more questions. Instead, Bai Qing from Luanjing Mountain raised doubts: "The talisman is so easy to use, why did Taoism use it back then?" Give it to Long Binhui? My own Fu Ruike is in a state of decline."

"If you want to bring out the full power of the talisman, the talisman writer and the talisman sacrificer need to have the Fire Sacrifice Seal, which sometimes conflicts with the inner elixir of the Taoist priest, but this problem is easily solved: the Taoist tradition provides the most important inner elixir, Longbin Other materials will be provided, and their talisman masters will be responsible for writing and sacrificing talismans. We can just enjoy the benefits brought by the talismans. Some of the talismans can be used for offense and are extremely powerful. When the time comes, it will be up to the Taoist priests to sacrifice the talismans, or still hand them over. Give it to the Talisman Master and we can discuss it later.”

The Taoist priests had no doubts and all looked at Mu Xingqiu. They had heard that this Nianxinke disciple was an opponent of the Taoist Talisman.

Mu Xingqiu was not actually opposed to the Taoist talisman, but he was very disgusted with Shen Jiyi and others' behavior of handing the talisman to Lan Bingke and trying to kill someone with a borrowed knife, and he was always wary of it.

He thought for a while, "Fellow Taoist Shen Ji Yishen in Yashan has a way to get the old inner elixir. Fellow Taoist Ding Weiding in Wangshan is responsible for contacting the Longbin Society to obtain other materials and talisman masters. The Demon Slayer Society only needs to enjoy the talismans." benefit."

"In the future, it will not only be Fellow Daoist Shen who will provide the inner elixir, but others will also have to help. Is there a problem with this?" Yang Qingyuan showed a hint of aggression.

Mu Xingqiu smiled and shook his head, "No, I have no problem. Apart from wanting to join forces with the mortal army, my plan is no different from that of Fellow Daoist Yang."

Yang Qingyuan was slightly startled. Mu Xingqiu refused to give in in the ancient tomb, but he was easily persuaded at this moment, which made his entire argument plan useless, "Then... that's good. Although the mortal army is of no use, Big is better than nothing.”

Everyone discussed for a while and then left one after another. Shen Hao sent the guests away. When he came back, he immediately expressed his doubts, "Have you really changed your mind and supported the use of talismans?"

Mu Xingqiu shook his head. www.ao

"Then why don't you argue with reason?" Shen Hao was now completely on Mu Xingqiu's side, "I thought you would tell... about Lan Bingju and Zuo Liuying."

"Because I don't want the Demon Slayer Club to be divided before it's officially established, and I've said everything that needs to be said. Everyone will understand sooner or later."

"Understand what?" Shen Hao became more and more puzzled.

"If Yang Qingyuan's plan is carried out, the people who really hold the power of the Demon Slayer Society are Shen Jiyi, Ding Wei and Long Binhui. The so-called leaders are just tools to summon low-level Taoist priests and provide inner elixirs."

Shen Hao slowly realized, "That's why Shen Jiyi and Ding Wei don't participate in the leader election, because they don't need to be leaders at all."

"Maybe I'm paranoid, but I always feel that Long Binhui is the biggest beneficiary of the revival of Taoist talismans." Mu Xingqiu suddenly smiled, "Let's go see our old friend Xin Youtao, maybe he can provide some clues."
