Exorcism

Mu Xingqiu's reaction to turning into a demon was even more obvious. Since he had overcome most of his rejection in advance, there was not much pain. He just became particularly sleepy. As soon as midnight passed, he would yawn continuously and couldn't help it no matter how hard he endured it.

But he couldn't stop and rest. Xin Youtao and others were left among the demon clan as hostages. If something happened, Mu Xingqiu would regret it. He rode a flea, and Xiaohao flew with the help of Xiaoqingtao's magic. Zuo Liuying accepted this arrangement without saying anything, and continued to fly near Mu Xingqiu, observing every change in him.

After a full day of flying, Mu Xingqiu fell asleep on Qilin's back. From then on, the flea took off steadily, and Mu Xingqiu hardly felt any bumps. When he woke up, it was already bright. Mu Xingqiu had never slept so deeply. He had no dreams or thoughts. When he opened his eyes, he even had the illusion that he was still at home in Yelin Town. He woke up late. If you don’t hurry up and let the horses go, your father will scold you...

Mu Xingqiu was shocked when he found that he was riding a strange animal flying in the air. He almost jumped off the unicorn's back and broke into a cold sweat. The autumn wind blew by, and he suddenly woke up, and his years of spiritual practice came back to his memory.

"Brother Xiaoqiu, are you feeling better?" Xiao Qingtao asked worriedly. She had been watching over Mu Xingqiu to make sure he wouldn't fall off Qilin's back, and was uneasy about him sleeping so deeply.

After practicing Taoism for several years, Taoist priests can usually replace sleep with thoughts. Even the little Hao who inhales twice will not sleep without knowing anything.

The cold sweat disappeared with the wind. Mu Xingqiu shivered, then stretched his arms and said with a smile: "I feel... great."

Zuo Liuying, who was flying on the other side of him, had already taken out the concentration orb and bronze mirror, "Describe it carefully."

"I took a nap, probably..."

"Exactly three hours." Xiao Qingtao continued for him.

"Well, for three hours, I didn't have any dreams during this period. This period of time seemed to have completely disappeared. When I woke up, I forgot that I was a Taoist priest. Then I quickly remembered it, and now I feel refreshed. I feel refreshed, have abundant mana, and both inner elixirs are normal. And I feel very good, as if all my problems will be solved."

Mu Xingqiu couldn't help but grin, and Xiao Qingtao also laughed, "Didn't you say that transforming into a demon is painful? Why did you..." She shut her mouth because Zuo Liuying opposite seemed to have a different view on this matter.

After being together for a long time, Xiao Qingtao could already read some subtle changes in Zuo Liuying's wooden expression. For example, when his eyes moved up and down twice, it meant that something dissatisfied him.

"Brother Xiaoqiu had a good night's sleep. It shouldn't be a bad thing, right? What do you think, Zuo Zuo?" Xiao Qingtao was still used to the previous address. She knew that if she didn't ask questions, Zuo Liuying would never speak.

Zuo Liuying didn't seem to hear these words. After flying some distance, he suddenly said: "You have all stayed at Yangshen Peak for three years."

"Yeah." Mu Xingqiu and Xiao Qingtao replied at the same time.

"Those three years were mainly about body training so that your body can withstand the inner elixir and magic power."

The two of them hummed again. All Taoist priests must go through this process. Each Taoist tradition may have different body-refining methods, but the original intention is the same.

"Mu Xingqiu is probably changing his physique during this sleep, making him more suitable for carrying demon pills."

A good thing suddenly turned into a bad thing, but Mu Xingqiu couldn't be distressed because he really liked the pleasant feeling after a good sleep, as if he could fly with open arms without casting a spell.

Xiao Qingtao asked anxiously: "The leader on the left can reverse Brother Xiao Qiu, right?"

"No." Zuo Liuying answered neatly, and after a while he added: "No now, his demon transformation has just begun. We have to wait until there are more signs, especially when the inner alchemy begins to change, before we can prescribe the right medicine." ”

Xiao Qingtao finally had a little hope in her heart. It didn't take long for her to worry about other things, "Why did Xin Youtao run away? Didn't he believe that Brother Xiaoqiu would rescue him? Or... or did the demon take action in advance despite the agreement? ?”

"We'll find out soon. Mu Xingqiu doesn't want to make guesses.

There is another demon city ahead. The demon soldiers evacuated very cleanly. Even some materials on the demon tower were removed. More than two hundred human slaves were killed. Many of their limbs were missing, leaving neat knife wounds. Zuo Liuying didn't come over to check at all. Xiao Qingtao's face turned pale, "When will this mutual slaughter end?"

Mu Xingqiu used lightning to light some firewood, and Xiao Qingtao helped cast a spell to burn the entire demon city. This was the only thing they could do.

"Xiao Hao is really a strange person." After finishing her business, Xiao Qingtao whispered to Mu Xingqiu.

Xiao Hao was also helping to set the fire, but she showed no fear or disgust at the corpses and blood on the ground. She did not turn a blind eye. When she saw the corpses of women and children, she would stop and recite a few verses, and even put the corpses in the fire. It's okay, it's just that she was too calm, as if she was used to doing these things.

"She is a born Taoist priest." Mu Xingqiu finally understood what was unique about Xiao Hao, and why the dragon demon valued this little girl. She was a little Taoist priest with the second level of breathing, but she had qualities that only a few high-level Taoist priests had. Peace, nothing could stay with her for long. She remembered everything but never took it to heart - as if she already had the heart of a Taoist priest.

"Ha, then I have to please her in advance. Maybe she is the future leader." Xiao Qingtao smiled and greeted Xiao Hao, and from then on she was particularly affectionate.

Half of the Xijie Kingdom seemed to be empty. The demon soldiers abandoned all the cities and strongholds. As Zuo Liuying expected, they fled to Baizhang City. There were corpses of human slaves everywhere. The demon soldiers were determined not to stay. If there were any survivors, Mu Xingqiu and others could only set fire to the corpses along the way, which wasted some time.

It took four full days before they arrived at the place where Xin Youtao and others were originally trapped.

This is an isolated hill, more than 200 miles away from Baizhang City. When the weather is good, you can see the thick unclean air shrouding the demon city and the dense dense demon towers. Xin Youtao, Shen Ji and Ouyang Shu are about the same size. Since they were imprisoned here, the sorcerers and demon soldiers had been besieging them but not attacking. It was agreed that they would be allowed to leave the demon clan's territory safely after Mu Xingqiu returned to Baizhang City.

Now the sorcerer and the demon soldiers are gone and have been completely evacuated. On the top of the mountain is a tall cloth flag with white characters on a black background and a talisman drawn on it.

"Did Xin Youtao leave it behind?" Xiao Qingtao asked, looking at the talisman flag from a distance.

Mu Xingqiu shook his head. Xin Youtao's ability to write talismans was average, and this was definitely not his handwriting. After flying closer for a while, Mu Xingqiu carefully identified it for a while and said with certainty: "It's a blue curling kettle."

The huge talisman flag moved automatically in the wind, and the white writing on it swam as if alive, and soon turned into the image of an old woman, "Haha, isn't this my good nephew Zuo Liuying? I heard that you entered the demon world I still don’t believe it, but I didn’t expect it to be true. I also heard that you quit the orthodoxy.”

"Yes, auntie, I am no longer a Taoist priest from Pangshan." Zuo Liuying stopped in the air and nodded slightly to Lan Bingju's illusion.

"Hey, you are indeed a prodigy Zuo Liuying. Even though he has encountered the Tribulation of Sighs and his practice has stopped progressing, he can still shock the Nine Dao Masters. If my sister is still alive, how proud she must be."

Lan Bingju would not miss any opportunity to ridicule his nephew, and Zuo Liuying didn't care either, and said flatly: "I was shocked by the Taoist tradition for a long time. Did my aunt feel the vibration caused by the Yashan Sword Washing Pond in Baizhang City? That might last a long time.”

Yashan launched an attack on the demon clan with the raging tide of the Sword Washing Pool, and was getting closer and closer to the demon capital Baizhang City. In the past few days, Mu Xingqiu and others could feel the waves coming from different directions every few hours. shock.

"Don't rush to declare victory, my good nephew, the whole world is changing, and the demon clan is bearing the brunt. To be honest, it is not certain who will win and who will lose in this war. Have you seen my talisman? After adding some magic Becoming stronger."

"I saw the talisman, but I didn't see my aunt in person."

"Haha, I'm not that arrogant. I dare to face the attack of Yashan Treasure alone. Just wait and see. My good nephew, the time for you to withdraw from the orthodoxy is really perfect. When my talisman is more perfect, I will find you. Let’s talk about it, we are no longer Taoist priests, and we don’t need to be as timid as before.”

"Always waiting."

The orchid curling phantom on the flag changed into several forms, and finally settled, "Mu Xingqiu, I left the talisman behind to wait for you."

"I'm back as promised, where are my friends?" Mu Xingqiu asked while sitting on Flea's back.

"Have you taken the demon pill?"

"Well, it's been a few days."

"You surprised me, Mu Xingqiu. Taking the initiative to take the Demon Transformation Pill requires great courage. It is more courageous than Zuo Liuying's courage to withdraw from the Taoist tradition. Otherwise, your love affair is too deep. The Giant Demon King welcomes you back, But things have changed now.”

"What change? Didn't the Giant Demon King expect that the orthodoxy would launch a counterattack?"

"The giant demon king expected everything, but he didn't expect that you would bring back a Taoist priest who pays attention to the spirit. Yes, Zuo Liuying quit the Taoism, but what if this is a conspiracy of the Taoism? Let a Taoist priest who pays attention to the spirit enter the demon city , and then the inside should be combined with the outside.”

"Dao Tong will not use tricks against Qi Wushang, you should know this very well."

"What can I do if I know it well? I am not the Giant Demon King. I am just a guest here. I am just exchanging Taoist talismans for some help."

Lan Bingke rambled here and there, and Xiao Qingtao became impatient and said loudly: "Where have Xin Youtao and the others gone?"

"It's strange to say that we were very polite to the hostages. We neither launched an attack nor asked them to hand over the captured Yuwang and the four Yishi Lords, but they just weren't satisfied -" Lan Bingju paused for a moment, " They escaped during the night."

Xiao Qingtao breathed a sigh of relief, but she was also a little confused, "Didn't the magician stop them?"

"How to stop them? They took the prisoners and ran into the demon city. At this time, they were trapped in a sorcery trap and couldn't extricate themselves. The sorcerer couldn't get close."

Xiao Qingtao was shocked and didn't understand why Xin Youtao did such a dazed thing.

"Mu Xingqiu." Lan Bingju's illusion began to fade, "You can only return to the Demon City alone. You are not allowed to bring any Taoist priests with you... Maybe you can bring Qilin with you. The number of spirit demons is too small."
