Exorcism

Just because Xiao Qingtao was willing to talk to Xin Youtao didn't mean that she had completely forgiven him. Occasionally she would hum and look very cold, as if the person walking beside her was a clingy and annoying child.

People were coming and going on the streets, and the impact of the coup a month ago could hardly be seen, except that there were fewer signs of talismans. It is said that because a large amount of materials from the Long Bin Society were destroyed, the talisman masters were so panicked that their output was greatly reduced. This can be said. The people of the imperial capital who were accustomed to talismans were very uncomfortable with this: piles of goods could only be transported bit by bit by manpower, the speed of livestock was so slow that people were worried, and the originally enviable high-rise buildings had now become dangerous buildings that everyone avoided... …

"To mortals, talismans are equivalent to Taoist priests' inner elixirs. They are not obvious at ordinary times, but once they are gone, they realize how important they are. Long Binhui relies on talismans to amass the world's wealth. Just taking out a few is enough for the Demon Slayer Club. "It's all spent." Xin Youtao kept talking, fearing that he would be left in the cold, "Oh, it's a pity that I was in a comatose state at the time. Otherwise, I would definitely advise my sister not to destroy the Talisman Tower. It would be too wasteful. The materials inside have already been written. Almost all the talismans and various treasures stored there are gone. Even if there are three or four left, the Long Bin Society will not be so short..."

Xiao Qingtao suddenly stopped and turned to face Xin Youtao, with an unprecedented serious expression on her face, "Tell me, what is going on with Brother Xiaoqiu and your sister?"

"Is there nothing wrong?" The nonsense of a dying man is taken seriously. I really wonder why the disciples of Luan Jingshan followed Mu Xingqiu to learn the magic of mind? What do you think? "

Xin Youtao's rhetorical attack failed to take effect. Xiao Qingtao still stared at him seriously, "Just tell me. Did Brother Xiaoqiu meet your sister alone?"

Xin Youtao laughed loudly, hoping to use this method to show how ridiculous Xiao Qingtao's question was, but in the end it only attracted the attention of passers-by. There was still no smile on Xiao Qingtao's face, "That means we've met before. Well, that's good."

Xiao Qingtao turned around and strode forward. Xin Youtao was slightly startled and hurriedly chased after her, "What do you mean by 'very good'?"

"It's not interesting." Xiao Qingtao said lightly.

Xin Youtao thought for a while, "Are you talking about my mother? She wouldn't care, right? Look at her appearance yesterday, she didn't care at all. Mu Xingqiu didn't answer, and she didn't ask any further questions. After all, she was a Taoist priest, so how could she care about a mortal? This little thing..."

Xiao Qingtao just sneered and did not answer. Xin Youtao felt guilty. There were two people in Pangshan that he was most afraid of. One was Shen Hao, who later became a good friend, and the knot was relieved, and the other was his mother Yang Qingyin. After knowing each other for so many years, the relationship between the two is still quite cold. Thinking of what she had done, Xin Youtao's heart began to tremble. No matter how many years of practice, I can't control it.

"I...won't react violently, right?"

"Who knows." Xiao Qingtao walked faster without squinting.

"Then Mu Xingqiu is in trouble. I will definitely not cause trouble for my sister. I will only deal with Mu... Oh, that's not right. The two of them are not related. Besides, Mu Xingqiu still pretends to be Qing Lingshuang in his heart. He never owes anything. Mom what?"

Xiao Qingtao stopped again. "You are so stupid. Brother Xiaoqiu pretends to be Fangfang. He didn't even save his love. Why... why are you still with your sister... Even I'm a little angry."

"What's the matter with my sister? It's just a private meeting. Mu Xingqiu wants to form an army, and my sister wants to take back the territory of Xijie Kingdom. Both parties have needs for each other, so of course we need to talk in person."

"Do you think you can deceive everyone by pretending to be confused? Let's just stand here and listen carefully. How many people are talking about the princess of Xijie Kingdom and the emperor's grandson? Are they really married?"

Xin Youtao fell silent, and the two of them continued to move forward, turning into a secluded alley. The houses on both sides closed their doors, as if they were still preparing for war.

There is a secret prison of Longbinhui hidden here, and even Xin Youtao, the ink envoy, only just found out about it.

Before knocking on the door, Xin Youtao spoke again, this time without a playful smile, looking very serious, "My sister is definitely not that kind of person. As for Mu Xingqiu, we all know what he is like, so..."

"So what?"

"So whether you believe it or not, they are as innocent as you and me."

Xiao Qingtao's face turned red, and just when she was about to speak, Xin Youtao turned around and knocked on the door.

For a moment, Gao Fuwei, who had been waiting inside for a long time, opened a crack in the door and revealed the location of the prison. Gao Fuwei glanced at Xiao Qingtao, who was dressed in Taoist attire, and stepped aside to let the two of them in.

"Where's what I want?"

Xin Youtao took out a piece of paper, shook it, and immediately put it away without giving it to Gao Fuwei, "See you first."

This is an amnesty issued by the new Chief Talisman Master, which proves that although Gao Fuwei is from the demon clan, he is loyal to Emperor Fu and Long Binhui and can be treated as a human Talisman Master.

Gao Fuwei nodded, glanced at Xiao Qingtao again, and suddenly said: "There are not many female Taoists, right?"

Xiao Qingtao was stunned, "It's a lot, it's just... there's quite a lot of it anyway."

Gao Fuwei led the way and walked along the corridor. The whole house was quiet and seemed to be uninhabited. As he walked, he said, "It's not easy for people like us to get recognition."

"Me and her." Gao Fuwei turned and pointed at Xiao Qingtao.

Xin Youtao then remembered that Xiao Qingtao was not a demon. He had forgotten this matter long ago. When Mu Xingqiu suggested that she come with him, he thought it was to ease the relationship between him and Xiao Qingtao. , it turns out there is another reason.

"She is a Taoist priest, you are a talisman master, you are not the same person." Xin Youtao emphasized solemnly, but in his heart he was wondering how Gao Fuwei could tell at a glance that Xiao Qingtao was not a demon.

Gao Fuwei said nothing, and Xiao Qingtao remained silent. She had almost forgotten her origins.

The three of them entered the backyard, but still no one was seen. In an empty side room, Gao Fuwei offered three paper charms one after another. His technique was very skillful. In almost the blink of an eye, the paper charms and ashes disappeared. .

Xiao Qingtao couldn't help but think. If such a professional talisman master offered Taoist talismans, the Taoist priests would have almost no chance to interrupt in advance except for a head-on confrontation.

An iron door slowly appeared on the wall next to another wing. Someone pulled away from inside, revealing a dark passage.

Xin Youtao was a little nervous. But he couldn't show any timidity in front of Xiao Qingtao, so he took the lead and walked in, looking at things from the sky. After a few steps, Gao Fuwei behind him used a talisman to create a ball of light and lead the way.

Xin Youtao was a little embarrassed. All his magic weapons, including Wang Sun Ruyi, who had been refined by himself. All of them have been handed over to the Pangshan Discipline Department, and his magic has been greatly reduced. After joining the Longbin Society, he quickly rose to prominence. His affairs were complicated and he did not spend much energy on writing talismans and sacrificial talismans. Although he wore a seven-fold crown on his head, His skills are not even comparable to those of some five-layered talisman masters.

The prison was not big, and we soon reached the end. There were six cells in total, but there was only one prisoner.

This prisoner was brought in several months ago. It couldn't be related to Yelin Town, so Mu Xingqiu and Shen Hao, who were busy with the affairs of the Demon Slayer Club, didn't come.

The prisoner had obviously been tortured and was lying motionless in the corner. Like a pile of bloody rags.

Xiao Qingtao frowned slightly. There were various punishments in the Taoist tradition, some of which were even cruel, but there was never such meaningless torture.

Xin Youtao was not in a hurry to interrogate the prisoners, "How many more prisons are there like this?"

"A lot." This is why Gao Fuwei is not in a hurry to ask for amnesty. He still has something to exchange. "There are thirty-one of us in total and we need thirty-one amnesties. I will give you the detailed list. ”

"Hey. Whoever removed your memory, why didn't they remove this paragraph?"

"I don't know." Gao Fuwei opened the cell door. Please invite Xin Youtao in.

Xin Youtao was still not in a hurry, "Who ordered the arrest of this person?"

"Zuosuke."

"No wonder." Xin Youtao understood. There is no need for the soul changer to hide relevant memories for Qu Xungui.

Xiao Qingtao walked in first, half-crouched in front of the prisoner, and said softly: "Are you a casual cultivator? What is your name? Why were you arrested?"

The prisoner didn't respond and seemed to have expired, but Xiao Qingtao could hear his weak but steady breathing and knew he was still alive.

After a while, the prisoner slowly raised his head. His messy hair and beard stained with blood covered most of his face. Only a pair of eyes shone brightly in the darkness, purer than a deep valley or deep pool.

"Pei Shurong?" The other party actually called Xiao Qingtao's real name.

Xiao Qingtao was startled, and Xin Youtao outside was even more astonished, and rushed in, "Do you recognize her?"

"Xin Youtao." The other party said another name.

Xiao Qingtao stood up suddenly, "You are... Hong Futian! Ouyang Hao's master once guarded Duanliu City with us."

"Hong Futian?" the prisoner repeated, "This should be my name."

Xiao Qingtao reached out to pull the chain connected to Hong Futian, but it didn't break. She was afraid of hurting others, so she didn't dare to use too much magic. She turned to Gao Fuwei and said, "Let him go."

Gao Fuwei nodded, but wwansho didn't move.

Xin Youtao took out the amnesty and put it in Gao Fuwei's hand. This move had an immediate effect. The tiger talisman quickly pulled out a piece of paper talisman, and the chain automatically retracted into the wall, and the prisoner regained his freedom.

Hong Futian was so seriously injured that he had to be supported by Xiao Qingtao before he could barely stand up, "Where's Qu Xungui?"

"He is dead. He committed suicide a month ago. The influence of the Qu family has been eliminated. Now the Princess of Xijie Kingdom is in charge... I heard that you went to the land of monsters. How could you be locked up here?" Xiao Qingtao was very dissatisfied. untie.

"Because I found out some secrets, but Qu Xungui didn't want me to leak them to Pang Shan, so I was besieged by the Talisman Master as soon as I entered Dongjie Kingdom, and was captured alive by this... Tiger Talisman Master. Qu Xungui probably didn't have time. Order me to be killed."

"What secret is related to Pangshan?"

After just saying a few words, Hong Futian felt helpless. One hand was supported by Xiao Qingtao, and the other hand supported the wall. He breathed deeply for a few times before continuing: "Well, there are still Taoist priests who are not dead in Pangshan Ancestral Land. , waiting for you to come to rescue."
