Exorcism

Three cicada-shaped clairvoyants flew back. They were the ones who disturbed the seven candles. They were dancing up and down in the air like bees. They belonged to Shen Jiyi. They had just been released not long ago and should not have returned so soon.

Shen Jiyi stretched out his right arm and let the three clairvoyants fall. He quickly understood the information they brought back and smiled, "It couldn't be more coincidental. Several Taoist friends from Yashan and Wandishan are nearby."

A voice came, sometimes far and sometimes near, but the person did not show up, "Is it the Taoist friend from Luanjingshan in front? Please put away the magic tools. We are fellow Taoists from Yashan and Wandishan."

Bai Xiang glanced at Mu Xingqiu, and after getting his approval, he put away the six candles, but still kept an inconspicuous candle floating above the heads of several people.

Four Taoists walked out of the woods, without a speck of dust on their bodies. The messy grass and spider silk did not leave any traces on them. Shen Jiyi walked up to them quickly and saluted several Taoists. He obviously recognized these four people. He turned around and introduced them to Mu Xingqiu and others, saying, "This is Feng Dongchen, the chief furnace master of Wandi Shanhong Furnace Department, and this is Yang Chun, the supervisor of Wandi Shanhong Furnace Department." Feng Dongchen was dark-faced and strong. He looked like a blacksmith wearing a Taoist robe. His eyes were so sharp that people dared not look at him. He nodded modestly and did not speak. Another Taoist named Yang Chun was younger and short, but his arms were very long, almost hanging down to his knees. He was very familiar with Shen Jiyi, returned the salute enthusiastically, and smiled at Mu Xingqiu and others. Shen Jiyi introduced the outsiders first, and then the two Taoists from Yashan, "This is Zhao Zhijin, the chief of the Forbidden Secret Department, and this is Liao Huayuan, the mixed master of the Five Elements Department." Shen Jiyi then introduced Mu Xingqiu and others, even the bald Mu Songxuan in the backpack was no exception. Baldy had just traveled through various Taoist sects and recognized two low-level Taoist priests, Yang Chun and Liao Huayuan, who had been his listeners. He smiled and said, "Oh, I thought I could meet you in the Imperial Capital. What a pity." Not going to the Imperial Capital meant that he was not interested in the Demon Slayer Club, and "failed" Baldy's lobbying at the time. The two smiled and said nothing, neither of them wanted to argue with a head. The Forbidden Secret Department was relatively weak in Yashan. The head monk Zhao Zhijin was just a Xingluo Taoist priest. He looked the oldest among the crowd, with a gaunt face, like a scholar who read the classics. He didn't care about others and only looked at Mu Xingqiu, "See you again. I heard that Zhenhuan has left you. It's a pity." Mu Xingqiu also remembered this person. When he was refining magic tools and traveling around various Taoist sects, in order to wash away the magic mark for Baldy, he had to accept the conditions of Yashan and practiced boxing in front of the Forbidden Secret Department Taoist priests and summoned the young demon. As a result, a group of Taoist priests ignored the young demon and were fooled by Zuo Liuying's illusion. The Taoist priest from Yashan who presided over the formation at that time was Zhao Zhijin, the head of the Forbidden Secret Department.

"Head, how are you? I am just an ordinary Taoist priest. It is normal that I cannot keep the real illusion." Zhao Zhijin hummed.

He did not say anything more. He and Feng Dongchen from Wandi Mountain were both Xingluo Taoist priests. They were reluctant to speak in front of low-level Taoist priests. Yang Xian and Liao Huayuan were much more enthusiastic. "Recently, there are more people going to Pangshan Laozu Peak, and there are also many demons who sneak out to get information, so each Taoist sect takes turns to send people to patrol. We have been here for more than ten days."

Bai Qing asked in confusion: "Huh. I detected that there were demons passing by nearby a few days ago. Why didn't you stop them?"

"We are just monitoring the movements of the demon clan. As long as they don't do anything wrong, we will let them go. So as not to alert the enemy." Liao Huayuan explained.

The two groups of Taoist priests gathered together and introduced the situation to each other. The casual cultivator Ouyang Lu did not dare to say a word. He stood on a rock dozens of steps away and pretended to look westward.

Liao Huayuan pointed at the back of the casual cultivator and asked in a low voice: "Why did you bring a casual cultivator with you? In recent years, many casual cultivators have joined the demon clan. People like them are extremely untrustworthy."

The casual cultivators who joined the demon clan were mostly forced to do so. Before Mu Xingqiu spoke, Shen Jiyi had already explained for him, "That's why bringing a casual cultivator can be used to conceal your identity."

Liao Huayuan tactfully did not ask any more questions. The two sides chatted for a while. Liao Huayuan and Yang Chun were both Taoist priests of Canxia. Although they did not go to the Imperial Capital, they were very interested in the Demon Slaying Meeting. They asked Mu Xingqiu questions about this and that. No one else could get in the conversation and could only listen from the side. The two Xingluo Taoist priests stood farther away than Ouyang Luo and talked in a low voice.

After a while, Feng Dongchen of Wandi Mountain waved to the low-level Taoist priests, signaling everyone to come over, even Ouyang Luo.

"Daoyou Zhao and I have decided to go to Laozu Peak with you. Get ready and we'll set off later."

Suddenly, there were four more companions, two of whom were Xingluo Taoist priests. This was a good thing, but Mu Xingqiu felt that it was not right. He was about to find an excuse to refuse, but Xin Youtao spoke for him. He wore a seven-layer crown and did not perform the Taoist etiquette. Instead, he bowed with both hands and said with a smile: "It would be great to have four Taoist priests join us, but don't you have a mission?"

"There is nothing to do here. Yang Chun will stay and hand over to the next group of Taoist priests who come to inspect. Everyone else will go to Laozu Peak."

Feng Dongchen's black face made his severity even more terrifying. Xin Youtao shook uneasily, but did not retreat. He continued to smile and said: "We have made a plan to disguise ourselves as monsters to sneak in..."

Feng Dongchen's eyebrows stood up, and Xin Youtao's persistence came to an end. He stammered like a junior who said something wrong, and his voice quickly lowered until it disappeared.

"The Taoism has not yet fallen to the point where it has to pretend to be a demon to hide its tracks. With the two of us here, you can save yourself from all your little tricks."

Mu Xingqiu stepped forward and said, "I released some clairvoyants. It won't be too late to wait until they come back before making a decision."

Feng Dongchen was very impatient with the low-level Taoist priests' push and pull. "We have been monitoring here for more than ten days, and we know everything about the movement within a radius of five hundred miles. If you want to know anything, I will tell you."

The scene was a bit awkward. Mu Xingqiu and others had experienced the indifference and inscrutability of high-ranking Taoist priests, but this was the first time they had seen one of them being arrogant and domineering. Mu Xingqiu weighed for a moment and saluted the two Xingluo Taoist priests, "In that case, Everything is up to the arrangements of these two fellow Taoists.”

There were not many things, so Xin Youtao deliberately dilly-dallyed and winked at Mu Xingqiu. After a while, he said loudly: "We are about to enter Xijie Kingdom. I have to write a letter to the imperial capital, Mu Xingqiu. Don't you also Do you want to inform Shen Hao and others about the situation? "

"Well, I'll write it right now."

Xin Youtao secretly observed the reactions of the two Xingluo Taoist priests and found that they did not object. He was slightly relieved, but the doubts in his heart were not completely eliminated. He quickly finished the letter and handed it to Mu Xingqiu, "Please help me take a look. Nothing is left out.”

Xin Youtao's letter is very simple: These four people are waiting for us. It must be the news revealed by Shen Jiyi in advance. Do you think they are credible?

"That's pretty much it. Let's wait until there is more news about entering Xijie Country." Mu Xingqiu also wrote his letter, briefly describing the story of his "accidental encounter" with the four Taoist priests from Yashan and Wandi Mountains, specifically It was emphasized that these four people claimed to have been patrolling in the mountainous area more than ten days ago. This time is very important, because it has only been eight days since Mu Xingqiu and others left the imperial capital. If Feng Dongchen and others had been here already, then this "encounter" might really be a coincidence. If not, Shen Hao and others People can find out.

Xin Youtao pretended to use the flying charm to deliver the letter. After flying ten miles, it would automatically burn into ashes and would never be delivered to the princess. Mu Xingqiu really wanted to deliver the message and took out a copper coin with a hole. Tie a colorful string on it, crush the written letter, cast a spell into the copper coins, and then let it fly.

This is the so-called Feihong copper coin. Its flying speed is faster than that of ordinary Taoist priests, and it will be transmitted directly to the designated person Shen Hao because it is very small. Hard to intercept.

Feng Dongchen and Zhao Zhijin were still discussing something in a low voice, and did not interfere with the low-level Taoist priests writing or delivering letters. Looking at the paper charms and copper coins flying away, Xin Youtao relaxed a little more and smiled at Mu Xingqiu, indicating that they might be too suspicious. , he really doesn’t want to have a dispute with a high-ranking Taoist priest.

"It's getting dark. It's the best time to sneak into the Demon Clan's territory. Let's go." Shen Jiyi said loudly. When everyone took off one by one, he signaled Mu Xingqiu to stay temporarily, "I know the Demon Slayer Club We don’t like the interference of high-level Taoist priests, but we can’t refuse their request. My idea is to wait until we reach the Ancestor Peak before we find an excuse to separate. After all, they want to inquire about the demon, and we want to find someone.”

"You're right. Let's wait until we get to Laozu Peak. Maybe with the help of Taoist Xingluo, things will be easier."

Shen Jiyi smiled and flew up together with Mu Xingqiu, chasing the people in front. Only Yang Chun from Wandi Mountain stayed behind to watch everyone off.

Taoist priest Xingluo's spells were much more powerful. Several people, including Ouyang Hao, could fly quickly with the help of Yashan Zhao Zhijin's power. Feng Dongchen of Wandishan created an invisible shield to hide everyone. traces and spells.

As expected, Zhao Zhijin was very familiar with the paths within a few hundred miles. He led everyone in a zigzag flight, not encountering a single monster on the way, and even very few animals.

Two hours later, darkness enveloped all directions, and Xin Youtao whispered: "This is Pang Mountain."

It is still far away from Laozu Peak, but the mountains below already belong to Pangshan and Xijie Kingdom, and now there are countless demons hidden there.

The Xingluo Taoist priests were flying very fast. They had already completed 30% of the distance in the early morning of the next day. In a hidden mountain col, Mu Xingqiu received the first batch of two clairvoyants to return. The two Xingluo Taoist priests decided to change direction and fly northwest. , a. co Although it is a detour, it is safer.

"My clairvoyance says that a group of monsters is moving to the northwest. Should we investigate clearly before moving forward?"

Feng Dongchen could not tolerate the opinions of low-level Taoist priests. "The route we took has been proven to be the safest one. The monsters are moving almost every day. If we investigate clearly every time, everyone can stay here and not move."

With Taoist Xingluo around, Mu Xingqiu lost command of the team and could only obey the arrangement and released a few more clairvoyants to the northwest.

Everyone was on the road again, Yashan Zhao Zhijin's speed was even faster, even surpassing the clairvoyance that had been released before.

Towards midnight that night, the Taoist priests encountered the first obstacle since entering the demon tribe's territory. They could no longer fly. There were unclean air and sorcery intercepting them everywhere, so they could only walk on the ground.

Not long after, on a bare mountain peak, the Taoist priests discovered the remains of a battlefield that had ended not long ago. Among the corpses of the monsters, several blue-robed Taoist priests were lying.
