Exorcism

It didn't take long for Shen Zhai's backyard to become empty. Except for Mu Xingqiu, the members of the Demon Slayer Club still maintained their original identities, and Taoist orders still had immediate effect among them.

Xiaohao stood under the eaves, looked around a few times, walked across the entire courtyard with gentle steps, and came to Mu Xingqiu, "Now I am the only mind-reading disciple."

"Um?"

"You have withdrawn from the Taoist tradition. You are not a disciple of Pangshan, and naturally you are not considered a disciple of Nian Xin Ke. I am the only one left."

After a few months, Xiaohao finally reacted to Mu Xingqiu's actions in the imperial capital.

Mu Xingqiu remembered Long Mo's praise for Xiao Hao and smiled at her, "Why didn't you go with everyone? Luan Jingshan is also gathering disciples."

"I can't fly." Xiaohao is already a girl of sixteen or seventeen, and her tone is as innocent as a five or six-year-old child. "And I am now considered a disciple of Pangshan, but Pangshan always seems to forget this matter. I should remind Grandmaster Pang Shan when I get the chance."

"Did you practice your martial arts during my absence?" Mu Xingqiu asked seriously. He was not used to speaking in a lecturing tone, and in this regard he was not even as good as Xiao Qingtao, who had been his tutor.

Xiao Hao raised her head and thought for a while, as if this question was particularly difficult to answer, "Well - I was practicing in my dream, does that count?"

Mu Xingqiu shook his head seriously.

"Oh, you don't know how many things have happened during this time. I'm not the only one. Everyone doesn't practice much." Xiao Hao took a step back, looking a little nervous, "I'll practice now, okay?"

Mu Xingqiu nodded, and Xiao Hao took a few steps back, and started practicing Bone Strengthening Boxing in the yard. She didn't regress much, but there was no obvious progress. If she continued practicing like this, she might never be able to reach the same level. The extent of performing the nine luck techniques.

Two little heads poked around the door. Mu Xingqiu pretended not to notice. Zhang Xiang'er was more courageous and ran in. She was already behind Xiao Hao, and Shen Cunyi followed her in too hastily. He almost fell over and stood behind Zhang Xiang'er with a red face.

The two children also started practicing boxing, imitating Xiao Hao.

After all, Xiaohao is a Taoist priest with the second level of breathing. Although his boxing skills cannot satisfy Mu Xingqiu, he has achieved some success and is extremely fast. The two children can only see one or two percent of the movements clearly, but they learn very seriously and slowly. Slowly, I can actually keep up.

Mu Xingqiu did not stop or encourage, but just watched silently. Zhang Xiang'er was indeed smarter. After two attempts, her skills were already decent. She could find a way to fill in the moves she couldn't see clearly, and Shen Cunyi did it. He's a bit clumsy. He learned from Zhang Xiang'er, so his moves are not accurate to begin with, and it's even more messy when it comes to him.

At the beginning of the third punch, Xiao Hao suddenly stopped, and the two children also stopped.

"When will Baldy come back?" Xiao Hao asked, still having the temper to ask whatever comes to mind.

"Why is this boxing technique different from what I have learned?" Zhang Xiang'er thought this was the time to ask a question.

"Um... um... it's time to eat, right?" Shen Cunyi really couldn't think of any problem.

In Mu Xingqiu's eyes, these three people were just children. He walked over, rolled up his sleeves, and answered their questions while practicing boxing slowly.

"The bald man is missing. I don't know when he will come back." Mu Xingqiu's fists each produced a lightning bolt several feet long. He did not use a whip and cast spells directly with his fists. Not only did he consume more mana, but the power was also reduced. , but enough to attract the attention of three children.

"This is Nian Xinke's Bone Forging Fist. It is different from the ordinary Bone Forging Fist you have learned. It is older." The lightning quickly expanded and turned into two huge lightning balls. Mu Xingqiu seemed to be holding two handles. The sledgehammer's movements became slower and slower, but it became more powerful. Each punch seemed to be able to break rocks and break iron. The three of them were amazed and took a few steps back involuntarily.

"There's still an hour before dinner. If you're hungry, you can go to the kitchen to find something to eat." Mu Xingqiu suddenly speeded up and used nine luck techniques at the same time, transforming nine arms and nine lightning balls. This is an illusion. The first level looks very dazzling, but its power is actually dispersed. The higher the level of illusion, the fewer arms are needed.

But for Xiao Hao, Zhang Xiang'er and Shen Cunyi, this was the most amazing spell they had ever seen. They all opened their mouths and stared blankly at Mu Xingqiu, having long forgotten their own problems.

After the boxing was over, Mu Xingqiu stopped and stood up. Nine lightning balls hovered around him, quickly formed a line, and then disappeared completely.

Xiao Hao was much older than the two children and had already obtained the status of a Taoist priest. She had seen Mu Xingqiu perform the mental illusion technique in the battle in the imperial capital, but it was her mouth that opened the widest, "Nianxin Bone Forging Fist... It's really good." Have you practiced to this extent?”

Mu Xingqiu has already guessed the reason why Xiao Hao is not interested in boxing practice. This boxing method is so different from the lightning he used during the fight in the imperial capital. In the eyes of ordinary Taoist priests, they are two completely unrelated methods. Xiao Hao Hao has his own little thoughts, and he must feel that practicing boxing is useless.

Mu Xingqiu lowered his level and used the first level of illusion to spark lightning, which attracted Xiao Hao's interest even more.

"Well, as long as you can keep practicing."

"Hold on." Zhang Xiang'er and Shen Cunyi said at the same time, and their interest was even higher.

The three of them immediately spread out and started practicing their boxing skills seriously.

Mu Xingqiu walked aside and summoned a small sound transmission incense burner from the treasure bag at his waist. He felt the warmth of the incense burner just now and knew that someone wanted to talk to him.

It was Shen Hao's voice, speaking very fast, "The guardian must be a Taoist priest in the same department. Zuo Liuying claims to be your guardian, which means that he has to quit the Forbidden Secret Department and join the Mind Mind Department! The Grand Master has publicly rejected it. Zuo Liuying’s decision... keep in touch and we’ll talk about it later.”

Before Mu Xingqiu could say anything, Shen Hao's voice had disappeared.

Mu Xingqiu didn't expect there to be such a rule, but in the past few years, he had never had a protector in the Nianxin Department. He taught Lin Sa to give him a lot of advice and help, and he never regarded himself as a protector.

Zuo Liuying often did amazing things, but this time it was too sudden. Zhenhuan had left her, and Mu Xingqiu didn't feel that she had anything left worth Zuo Liuying's attention.

There was another sound coming from the sound transmission incense burner. Xiaohao and the other three were in the middle of practicing boxing, but none of them were interested in the small magic of sound transmission.

Since the battle in Huangjing, Qishan Taoist Yang Qingyuan has become Mu Xingqiu's staunchest supporter, so he voluntarily provided information, "Master Qishan said Zuo Liuying's move was extremely unusual. He must have discovered something from you. I want to take advantage of it in advance, so I suddenly announced that I will be your protector. Someone will ask you soon..."

Yang Qingyuan's voice disappeared.

The Demon Transformation Pill was certainly not worthy of Zuo Liuying's attention. Mu Xingqiu was very confident in his "teaching", but it could not attract the attention of the Taoist priest. He could only think of the only possibility. Two inner elixirs were discovered by Zuo Liuying.

Mu Xingqiu didn't know where he had exposed his flaw, and he had never noticed that there was a spell that broke through his protective power and entered Niwan Palace, but he still couldn't hide it from Zuo Liuying.

In fact, Mu Xing Qiuyuan planned to tell everything in front of the Taoist priests. He knew that the strength he showed was far different from the inner elixir, and the truth would be leaked sooner or later. Moreover, he also wanted to use the second inner elixir to prove some of the most basic principles of Taoism. The practice method can be changed, but before he could reach this point, the summons was over and he was sent out of the flower hall.

The person whose summons was stopped midway was none other than Zuo Liuying.

The sound transmission incense burner was so hot that more and more Taoist priests wanted to talk to Mu Xingqiu. Some of them were doing so under the instructions of senior Taoist priests, and more of them were just out of pure curiosity.

Before Mu Xingqiu had time to reply, Shen Jixian, the head of Pangshan Five Elements Department, descended from the sky, walked up to Mu Xingqiu in two steps, grabbed the sound transmission incense burner, put it into his wide sleeve, and said, "Follow me."

"Where to go?"

Shen Jixian did not answer, but directly cast a spell to lift Mu Xingqiu into the air and fly north.

Mu Xingqiu did not resist.

The three people practicing boxing in the yard stopped and looked at the retreating figure. Xiaohao said: "Soon I will be able to fly in the sky."

"I can do it in a few years." Zhang Xiang'er didn't know this female Taoist priest yet, but she already had a competitive spirit. She turned to look at Shen Cunyi and said, "I will take you flying then."

Shen Cunyi nodded happily.

Mu Xingqiu was taken to the Shenyuan Garden Hall again. None of the Taoist priests were there, only the two of them.

"You still have secrets you haven't told."

"I still have a second inner elixir in the Niwan Palace, the fifth level of Xingluo, which was given to me by Zhenhuan."

Shen Jixian was stunned, and raised his hand to cast a spell to inspect Mu Xingqiu's Niwan Palace. As a result, he encountered strong resistance and the spell could not penetrate. Shen Jixian's face changed slightly. After a while, he put down his arm and said, "You are no longer Pang Shan." Disciple."

"I'm not." Mu Xingqiu could go with Shen Jixian without any resistance, and he could tell the secrets that he didn't intend to completely hide in the first place, but he didn't allow any more spells to enter his mind.

Shen Jixian didn't use force. He now believed that Taoist priest Xingluo of Yashan was indeed killed by Mu Xingqiu. "You should have told me earlier."

"I planned to say it in front of all the Taoist priests who were paying attention, but I was sent out."

Shen Jixian lowered his head slightly, as if he was deep in thought, but actually he was using magic to contact Pangshan Grandmaster Yang Yannian. He soon raised his head, "The second inner elixir in Niwan Palace is indeed rare, but... is the soul... Hidden in the inner Dan?"

"Absolutely not." Mu Xingqiu was very sure, because the inner elixir of a Taoist priest is a pure thing and cannot tolerate any impurities or hide the soul.

Shen Jixian just had a whim, and he knew it was impossible. He shook his head, "That's it? Are there any secrets?"

"I have nothing to hide."

Shen Jixian's face was full of confusion, "Why? Why exactly? Bu Zuo Liuying broke up with the grandmaster publicly because of you. What did he see in you? Demon seeds give birth to Tao roots? This happened a long time ago. Chapter Two inner elixirs? No Taoist priest is willing to practice one more inner elixir." Suddenly his expression became serious, "No matter what, you can't accept Zuo Liuying as your protector. Pangshan has just stabilized and can't stand another toss. "

"This is exactly what I said before." Mu Xingqiu really didn't think about agreeing. He was used to being alone and didn't need a protector at all.

The dim light flickered in the flower hall, and all the Taoist priests from various Taoist traditions had returned. Shen Jixian hurriedly retreated. This was not a place where he could stay.

Pangshan Grandmaster Yang Yannian looked gloomy, which was an extremely rare expression of emotion for a spiritually focused Taoist priest.

Zuo Liuying showed no change, and his young-looking face was as calm as ever. Mu Xingqiu had a hunch that it didn't matter whether he agreed or not. No one could stop what the head of the Forbidden Secret Division wanted to accomplish.
