Exorcism

Some secrets last forever, but some news spread like a spell. As soon as Mu Xingqiu walked out of Zuo Liuying's room, before he took a few steps, he saw Yang Qingyin running towards him, followed by a large group of Pangshan Taoist priests. .

"Have you quit Pangshan?"

"Yes." Mu Xingqiu nodded, the hairpin no longer in his bun.

"Why?" Yang Qingyin was so shocked that she didn't immediately get angry as usual. Other Taoist priests also caught up with her, all of them looking as confused as she did. The bald man flew around Mu Xingqiu and sniffed at him. After a few moments, it seemed that Brother Xiaoqiu had also been changed.

"I'm sorry that I didn't tell you in advance. I made the decision a few days ago. It was not a whim, but I had to seek advice from a high-ranking Taoist priest first." Mu Xingqiu said loudly.

"What's their opinion?"

"They allowed me to withdraw from Pangshan. They have to consider my other requests for a while and give me answers in a few days."

The Taoist priests were even more confused. Yang Qingyin shook her head and stared at Mu Xingqiu extremely seriously, as if she could force him to tell the truth, "Wait a minute, you quit Pangshan and are no longer a Taoist priest. Make a request to Tao Tong?" She paused and looked up and down at the Taoist priest five steps away, "Didn't Zuo Liuying take out your heart and wash it?"

Shen Hao spoke for Mu Xingqiu, "Don't worry, let Xiaoqiu explain, he must have his own reasons for doing this." Then he added uncertainly, "Is it for Xin Youtao?"

"What I do is beneficial to many people, but it is not specifically for one person." Mu Xingqiu simply spoke to Pangshan Taoist Priest in the courtyard, not caring whether Pangshan's two senior Taoist priests would hear him, " The Demon Slayer Association was formed by low-level Taoist priests. From the beginning, it was said that it wanted to get rid of the shackles of high-level Taoist priests, and it did not even want their guidance. However, everyone knew that the influence of high-level Taoist priests was everywhere, as long as they were still within the Taoist tradition. . No one can be completely independent."

"Taoism has never been a place where you can do whatever you want. It has been for more than 130,000 years. It has been bound by a series of agreements, rules and habits. High-level Taoist priests can't be free, let alone us? I want to ask everyone, is the Demon-Slaying Association an impulse? A game, or a well-thought-out plan?”

"Some people join the Demon Slaying Society to survive the Heart Fire Tribulation. When he was in Duanliu City, Pang Shan received huge help from the Taoist priests, but the current situation is different from that of Duanliu City. We are not guarding an isolated city. Rather, we are defending the entire human world. We must attack and keep attacking. It is impossible to fight and retreat whenever we want. This will be a protracted war. Everyone's participation can add to the final victory. "Everyone's withdrawal may also affect the balance of strength between the enemy and ourselves."

"What I want to build is an army;

An army of Taoist priests may not necessarily involve a large number of people. But everyone must be prepared for a long war. So, not just me, but all Taoist priests who want to join the Demon Slayer Association. Everyone has to withdraw from the orthodoxy. Only in this way can this be a real army, not a game where you just go back to your comfort zone when you get tired of playing. "

This is what Mu Xingqiu wants to say to everyone. He once refused to join the Demon Slayer Society because he knew too little about the organization at that time. He only had a vague feeling that its structure was very loose and might eventually turn into an empty talk game.

Dozens of Pangshan Taoist priests looked at each other, unable to accept such a fierce statement for a while. Everyone was silent, but the Taoist instinct that had been deep-rooted deep in their hearts was touched. Makes the mood turbulent.

"I'll quit Pangshan too!" The bald man spoke first, carefully taking off the hairpin with a strand of hair. He held it in front of his eyes, and his heroic words suddenly disappeared, "I...Brother Xiaoqiu..."

Mu Xingqiu smiled and took the long hairpin and inserted it into the bald man's bun again, "My decision took a few days of consideration, so I hope everyone will not make a decision in a hurry and think about it for a few more days, unless you really I really want to participate in this war, otherwise, don’t follow my footsteps. Think clearly, leaving the Taoist tradition to participate in a war that will end in an unknown year will have a great impact on your spiritual practice. "

Seeing that Mu Xingqiu was serious, the seriousness and dissatisfaction on Yang Qingyin's face disappeared, "It's all bad to say so much. Do you want to scare everyone? Reveal some good points, and you will tell the high-level Taoist priest What request did you make?”

“The advantage is that you can follow the path that you think is right, slay demons and demons in the way that you think is right, and no longer be a fledgling under the wings, but fly high with your own strength.

There was no cheering. Yang Qingyin looked at Mu Xingqiu with wide eyes, "This doesn't seem like a benefit at all, and the tone you speak now is just like Shen Geng, like a liar."

Mu Xingqiu laughed again, "Shen Geng is a liar. In order to gain everyone's trust, he often tells the truth. I said, don't make a decision in a hurry..."

Another group of Taoist priests rushed into the courtyard, including members from various Taoist schools, and soon the backyard of Pangshan Taoist Hall was crowded. Zuo Liuying and Shen Jixian lived here. Mu Xingqiu took the lead and motioned for everyone to go to the front yard.

Along the way, Mu Xingqiu was surrounded by hundreds of eyes. It was like he was walking in a jungle covered with thorns, and he had to exert great strength every step he took.

The front yard is larger enough to accommodate the low-level Taoist priests who are still arriving one after another. Almost all the members of the Demon Slaying Association in Huangjing have arrived. This is the first general gathering since the Combination of Weapons and Taoism.

Mu Xingqiu stood on several steps, facing everyone, and said his decision and reasons again, "Please don't make a decision now, or even make a decision in the imperial capital. Go back to Daotong and experience it again." "

"Joining the Demon Slayer Society means... that you have to leave the Taoist tradition forever?" a Taoist priest in the front row asked, with a horrified expression on his face. After hearing Mu Xingqiu's words, he still found it incredible.

"Not necessarily. This is one of the requests I made to the high-level Taoist priests. The low-level Taoist priests are allowed to return to the Taoist order after a few years. However, the time is not decided casually. The minimum is three years. You must make it clear when you withdraw. If you leave halfway, If you regret leaving the Demon Slayer Club, the orthodoxy cannot accept you."

There was also the possibility of returning to the Taoist tradition, which made everyone feel relieved, even those who had no intention of quitting the Taoist tradition.

"Does the senior Taoist priest agree?"

The crowd was silent for a while, and a voice asked: "How many years do you plan to quit?"

Mu Xingqiu couldn't find anyone to talk to. His eyes swept over the heads of the crowd, "Forever."

The crowd fell silent again, and Qishan Taoist Yang Qingyuan said loudly: "To kill demons, it is not just the Taoist priests themselves who rely on them, but also magic weapons, elixirs, and various materials. The Demon Slayer Association will be independent from the Taoist tradition. What will happen to these things?"

"This is also one of the requests I made to the high Taoist priests. I don't want to go into too much detail before I get a clear answer. And I will also try to persuade mortals to join this war. They can also provide some supplies."

The questions and answers lasted for nearly half an hour. Mu Xingqiu elaborated on his thoughts and reserved some things. After all, except for withdrawing from Pangshan Taoism, many of his plans had not been approved by senior Taoist priests and were just castles in the air.

The Taoist priests gradually dispersed. Some people felt that there was no need to say goodbye to Mu Xingqiu, but most of them nodded to him and said that they would seriously consider it.

There are fewer and fewer people left. A Taoist priest asked rudely: "If no one is willing to withdraw from the Taoist tradition, who will be left with the name Demon Slayer Association?"

"The name is not important. As long as anyone in the Taoist tradition speaks, I am willing to give up this name." Mu Xingqiu smiled, but the Taoist priest became embarrassed and said goodbye.

In the end, only Taoist Pangshan was left. Mu Xingqiu persuaded everyone to retreat and go back to his room to rest, but reminded the Taoist responsible for guarding the door to notify him immediately if anyone from the Long Binhui arrived.

The bald man stopped listlessly on the table and suddenly sighed. "Oh, I feel like I have grown a heart again. It's still in the same place, but it's as heavy as a piece of iron. It's sinking a little bit, but it's still nowhere to be found."

"Even if you are still Pang Shan's disciple, you can stay with me. This is your choice. Pang Shan will not interfere." Mu Xingqiu advised.

"Pangshan will not interfere, but they will use me to speak and monitor you. As long as you leave Pangshan, they can no longer use me as a magical weapon. I will stay with Brother Xiaoqiu, but I will never be a spy !" The bald man used three strands of hair to prop himself up, showing some fighting spirit. It only lasted for a short while and then fell back to the table. "Don't worry about me, just let me be sad for a while. It's weird. The position of my heart is sinking little by little, and I seem to have grown a lot taller..."

Yang Qingyin came in uninvited and stood at the door, staring at Mu Xingqiu for a long time. "You are no longer a Pangshan Taoist priest, can you still live here?"

"Well, Zuo Liuying allows me to stay here temporarily."

"I've thought about it."

"You don't have to worry..."

"Like you, I'm not just on a whim. Ten years ago, I felt inexplicably anxious, ash.co But... I didn't know what I wanted, I was just messing around in the orthodoxy. Now I understand, it turns out that I was just timid, When you are used to walking on a flat road, you forget that the wilderness next to you is also a road. You are brave enough to walk in front of me, but don’t be too proud. Only when there is a road can you line up and tell who goes first and who comes last. Entering the wilderness is another matter, and trying to get everyone to go in the same direction is even more difficult.”

"Thank you." Mu Xingqiu said.

Yang Qingyin turned and left.

"What on earth do I want to say?" Bald Man asked in confusion, "What kind of road is in the wilderness? She wants to enter the forest, but I can lead the way..."

Taoist priest Pang Shan who was guarding the door hurried over, holding an invitation letter in his hand, "A talisman master, leave this and leave."

This is what Mu Xingqiu was waiting for, Long Binhui could no longer ignore his existence.

After opening the invitation tray and looking through it, Mu Xingqiu was a little surprised. The person who invited him was not any of the great talisman masters of Longbinhui, but the emperor's grandson Fu Meng, the fiancé of the Princess of Xijie Kingdom.
