Exorcism

Xin Youtao couldn't sleep, so he quietly walked out of the tent. The night in the land of monsters seemed darker. He looked at the gradually extinguishing campfire and the circle of tents around him, and suddenly felt a chill.

Most of the people in this camp are demon-invading Taoist priests who may become possessed by demons at any time. Types like Jiang Yinxia are the best to deal with. They are completely different before and after becoming demons, and are as conspicuous as the bonfires in the camp. But Xin Youtao knew that there was another kind of possessed person. They were extremely hidden and remained unchanged on the surface. Their obsessions slowly grew secretly. Once they took action, they were always unexpected and therefore very harmful.

Shen Zhun, Pangshan's former great law enforcer, was of this type.

"More than ninety, more than ninety." Xin Youtao murmured. Counting Yin Buchen and Bald Zi, there were less than ten normal people in this camp. Zuo Liuying and Zhou Qianhui just left at the drop of a hat. , the quantitative comparison is even more uneven.

"Zhou Qianhui is the leader of Yashan, and he is here to monitor Baldy. How could he go with Zuo Liuying?" Xin Youtao said to himself, feeling that this incident was quite unusual, but could not think of a reasonable explanation.

He stepped on the snow, walked around the remaining campfire, and walked to the other end of the camp. He came to a snowdrift half a man high. He hesitated for a while and said carefully: "Go and rest. I will keep vigil for you."

A light flashed twice above the snowdrift, and Xiao Qingtao, who was sitting cross-legged in mid-air, appeared, "Thank you, I can do it by myself, and you don't have a magic weapon..."

"I have talismans. I have brought enough this time." Xin Youtao said with a smile.

Xiao Qingtao shook her head, "Everyone has their own responsibilities. Someone will call you when it's your turn."

"You make sense. Then you can continue to keep vigil. I'll stand here for a while and look at the scenery."

The snow outside the forbidden area was a little lighter, and it was pitch black ahead. Even with the third eye, I couldn't see very far. Xiao Qingtao didn't make a sound, and continued to keep vigil. The magic weapons were also invisible. This is a place where monsters are after all. , the level of vigilance should be stricter.

Xin Youtao was quiet for a while and said softly: "I have thought about many things these days and have many things to say to you, but I have never found the opportunity. I feel that mortal and Taoist fate are really ridiculous, and the demons are want……"

"Shut up." Xiao Qingtao's voice sounded above the snowdrift.

"Okay, I'll shut up. You refused very neatly. You really look like a Taoist priest..."

"Shhh."

There was a hint of vigilance in Xiao Qingtao's voice, and Xin Youtao finally realized that she had really discovered something unusual. She hurriedly took out two paper charms, looked outside the restriction, and listened attentively.

He didn't notice anything unusual, only the black night seemed malicious, but it didn't have the guts to harass a group of Taoist priests.

After a long time, Xin Youtao felt a chill again. This chill did not come from the bottom of his heart, but actually brushed against his skin. He turned around suddenly.

There was obviously only a breeze blowing within the confinement, but the bonfire in the middle of the camp was strangely tilted to the northwest.

"What's going on?" Xin Youtao lacked a magic weapon and his ability to feel was far inferior to that of Xiao Qingtao.

As soon as he finished speaking, the cold wind turned into a strong wind and suddenly crossed the entire camp. Xin Youtao almost lost his balance. Under the light of the campfire, he saw a huge shadow on the snow flashing past in the wind.

"That's..." Xin Youtao was shocked. As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Xiao Qingtao had already caught up with the shadow and ran towards the northwest together.

Xin Youtao also wanted to follow, but the flying speed provided by the talisman was fine for normal marching, but it seemed too slow at this time. He hurriedly turned around and wanted to call Mu Xingqiu. He stamped his feet and secretly cursed himself for being stupid for rushing around when something happened. I was busy, so I immediately took out a paper talisman and called someone.

Xiao Qingtao has already used magic weapons to notify the Taoist priests in the camp. Almost everyone ran out of the tent, some chased to the northwest, and some stayed on guard. They hoped that there would be a monster attack, so it was so painful. Have a fight.

With so many Taoist priests coming out to help, Xiao Qingtao should be fine. Xin Youtao began to worry about Mu Xingqiu. An accident happened outside, and Mu Xingqiu, the leader, did not show up.

Other Taoist priests also discovered this, and while alert, they all looked at Mu Xingqiu's tent.

Xin Youtao tried not to look too hasty and walked through the camp and entered the tent he had built for Mu Xingqiu. The scene inside made him sigh in relief. Mu Xingqiu was sitting on the small bed and thinking.

Xin Youtao gently lowered the curtain, looked at the bald man facing Mu Xingqiu, and asked silently: "How long?"

The bald man did two somersaults, then raised a strand of hair and shook it, indicating about two hours plus a quarter of an hour.

It had been long enough, and the Taoist priests could always wake up at any time when they were thinking outside the Taoist system. The strange wind and shadows disturbed the entire camp, except for Mu Xingqiu, who was sitting firmly in the tent, still a little strange.

After calling for the fifth time, Mu Xingqiu took a deep breath, opened his eyes, looked at Xin Youtao, said nothing, and flew out of the tent.

Xin Youtao and Bald Zi were both startled and hurriedly followed him out.

There was some chaos in the camp. Mu Xingqiu stopped above the campfire, and Gan Shiquan flew over. "A total of fifteen Taoist priests chased them out. For some reason, the contact was interrupted..."

"What? Cut off contact? Where is Xiao Qingtao?" Xin Youtao was surprised again.

"Fellow Taoist Pei was the first to notice the anomaly, and he was also the first to chase him out..." Gan Shiquan stopped talking. Naturally, Xiao Qingtao was among the Taoist priests who cut off contact.

"What on earth is going on? That wind, that shadow." Xin Youtao flew into the air and wanted to chase him out, but he hesitated and stopped.

"Someone used the soul-detaining technique on the camp." Mu Xingqiu said.

"Dengzhuke's soul-binding technique?" Gan Shiquan was also shocked. His eyes swept and fell on the five Luanjing Mountain disciples, three of whom were from Dengzhuke.

The three female Taoist priests shook their heads together and said in unison: "It's not us."

"The caster is outside the camp." Mu Xingqiu said firmly, "Jiang Yinxia's soul was taken away."

There was a commotion in the camp.

"Why did Deng Zhuke want to snatch his soul?" Gan Zhiquan asked.

The three female Taoist priests of Dengzhuke shook their heads at the same time again, and then one of them said: "Impossible, Taoist friend Jiang died less than a day ago, Dengzhuke will never restrain the seven-day soul."

"Besides Dengzhuke, is there anyone else who knows how to restrain souls?" Gan Shiquan glanced around and saw that there were almost all eighteen Taoist priests in the camp. Everyone shook their heads. Within the Taoism, only Dengzhuke specializes in studying souls, and Bieke There are no similar spells.

Mu Xingqiu is an exception. He is a disciple of mind science, but he has learned the art of summoning and expelling souls through some special means, so he believes in any possibility.

"I need one Taoist each from the Dengzhu Department, the Mingjing Department, the Five Elements Department, the Discipline Department, and the Chanting Department. The others should stay and do not leave the camp."

"And me!" Xin Youtao and Baldzi said in unison.

Mu Xingqiu nodded.

Artemisia came with the flea, rubbed its eyes and asked, "Where are you going?"

"You have to stay." Mu Xingqiu waved to Flea, he needed a mount.

Deng Zhuke and other five Taoist priests were quickly selected. Gan Shiquan sat in the camp while Mu Xingqiu led others out of the camp.

Xin Youtao had time to get close to Mu Xingqiu and asked in a low voice, "What happened to you just now?"

"I have to thank you. Just now I was concentrating on controlling the two inner elixirs and almost couldn't wake up."

"Because of becoming a demon?"

Xin Youtao didn't ask any more questions. Mu Xingqiu was fine. He was now more concerned about Xiao Qingtao's whereabouts.

Mu Xingqiu flew in front on a flea, and the group left the camp and confinement and entered the outside world. The sky was slightly bright, the wind and snow had almost stopped, leaving only scattered snowflakes.

The Taoist priests who chased the shadows before left some spell marks, but after more than ten miles there were no more. Looking around, there is a vast expanse of white snow all around, with occasional small patches of woods, and only in the far distance can there be hazy mountains.

The Dengzhuke Taoist priest observed it for a while with three lamps and three candles, then pointed to the northeast, "Over there."

This time the distance was longer. The group of people flew more than fifty miles and stopped over a forest. The Taoist Priest of the Dengzhu Branch rearranged his magic weapon and said doubtfully: "It's really strange. The reaction of the flames is getting weaker and weaker. ”

"What does this mean?" Xin Youtao asked urgently, regretting that he did not follow Xiao Qingtao in the first place.

"There are only two possibilities, either they are getting further and further away from us, or they were killed."

The Taoist priest spoke more directly, and Xin Youtao became even more anxious when he heard it, "Hurry up and chase him, don't worry about me."

"Wait a minute." Mu Xingqiu summoned the Frost Soul Sword and used the soul-summoning technique.

Xin Youtao looked at him expectantly. The shadow Xiao Qingtao and others were chasing was Jiang Yinxia's soul. If they found the soul, they would naturally find the caster.

Mu Xingqiu stopped casting spells, "The soul was taken underground."

"No wonder." The Taoist Priest Dengzhuke suddenly realized, "The snow layer interfered with my magic weapon."

"Where exactly?" Xin Youtao asked.

"It should be around here. Everyone spread out and look for it. Don't go too far away, within a mile." Mu Xingqiu said.

After everyone separated, Xin Youtao made a handful of earth sacrificial talismans, and the green smoke in his hand never broke. In the end, it was the Taoist priest of Dengzhuke who found the location first.

"Here!" the female Taoist priest shouted.

She was too careless. As soon as the others turned around, a thick pillar of snow suddenly shot up from the ground, swallowed the female Taoist priest in one gulp, and then fell back to the ground casually.

"ah!"

The Taoist Priest Dengzhuke disappeared, and when others arrived, there was only a patch of snow left on the ground. The Taoist priest of the Five Elements Department immediately summoned a ball of fire. If he hadn't been afraid of hurting his companions, he would have thrown it down long ago.

"Oh my god, Xiao Qingtao and the others are all down there, what should we do? Should we rush in too? Is anyone good at earth escape or snow escape?"

"No need." Mu Xingqiu summoned the Frost Soul Sword again. No matter who the enemy was, he had had enough and could not let others take risks.

The Soul Summoning Technique once again detected the Souls of the Seven Suns, not one, but three. They were still moving quickly under the snow. Mu Xingqiu was shocked. He was worried that a Taoist priest had been killed, so he immediately increased his mana greatly. Suck the three souls over.

The dark wind swirled, and after a while, the snow within a ten-mile radius began to undulate, as if a huge monster was rising below.
