Exorcism

Gan Zhiquan took a step forward. He knew that he could not defeat Mu Xingqiu, not even if the two brothers joined forces. Even if the demonic Taoist priests in the entire camp gathered together to attack him, they might not be able to trap this Taoist priest with two inner elixirs. .

But what does this matter? Like a mysterious hand that can move time at will, the demon invasion suddenly pulls death from hundreds of years later to right before our eyes. Suddenly, it no longer matters when we die, but how we die is what Gan Zhiquan cares most about. question.

He stared at Mu Xingqiu, the inner alchemy was spinning rapidly, and mana was flowing into Jiang Palace. Every detail of the spell was meditated in Niwan Palace. Everything was ready, and he just had to pinch out the magic formula. Gan Zhiquan could almost see it. The scene of the spell forming in the air was a supreme miracle. It could create something out of nothing, and it could use the weak to defeat the strong. He was once fascinated by it, and it didn't end until the moment he was invaded by the demon species.

There were only three steps between the two, which was too close even for warriors fighting only with swords.

Mu Xingqiu had never felt such strong murderous intent in a person, and this person had no grudges against him, and his life was only able to survive until now with his help.

But he didn't make any gesture of resistance. The speed of the upper and lower inner elixirs was as usual, and the magic power in his meridians was vague. He just stared at the other person's eyes calmly, looking for the madness of the possessed and the persistence of the Taoist priest. difference between.

The difference is that the Taoist priest's eyes still change. The possessed person is immersed in his own world, like the soul of the deceased, unwilling to accept any changes in the outside world, and turns a blind eye to obvious evidence that is not good for him. No matter how deep the Taoist priest's obsession is, he still remains. Being able to respond to changes in goals will always give you a chance to pull back from the brink.

After five breaths, Gan Zhiquan took a step back, lowered his gaze, and reason finally prevailed, "I have an idea."

"Um?"

"You and us, all demon-invading Taoist priests, have a battle, and then we all die here. People who believe in you will think that you have eliminated all the demons for Taoism, and people who believe in us will think that we kill the demons before they do. They each got their favorite bodies, and the truth was buried in the ice and snow forever.

"This is an idea, but I can't agree." Mu Xingqiu said.

"Of course, you haven't had the desire to die yet. You want to save people, you want to reverse the magic of demon transformation, there are so many things you want to do, and you have always been lucky. Even if you are attacked by demons, you can still Everything turns into good luck, so you don’t want to die and you believe that miracles will happen to you.”

Gan Zhiquan's voice was much calmer, but he did not hide his envy and jealousy.

Have many miracles happened to you? Mu Xingqiu thought of people like Erliang, Fangfang, and Meng Yuanhou. Miracles always come at the cost of death. He would rather never have these miracles.

"Are you a Taoist disciple?" Mu Xingqiu asked.

Gan Zhiquan was slightly startled, "No. I am from Yicheng, Yingguo." After a moment, he added: "My father is a small official and has returned to his hometown long ago. He never supported our two brothers becoming Taoist priests. I lamented that Daogen had caused him to lose the opportunity to have a grandson, because Zhiwei and I refused to get married too early, let alone have offspring. "

"My father is a horse breeder, and I have kept horses for a few years myself." Mu Xingqiu said, without blinking his eyes. "We were all mortals once, and maybe we are still mortals now."

Gan Zhiquan was startled again, "A mortal, a mortal who goes with the flow, caressing about everything, and always only thinks about the present?"

"Mortals cannot accurately predict their own death. It may be decades later or it may be tomorrow, so they live in the present, generation after generation, and have accomplished many things. If you fly high enough, you will see, Mortals leave much more marks on this world than Taoist priests. We just destroy everything faster than mortals."

Gan Zhiquan was silent for a long time, and when he spoke again, he suddenly mentioned his plan to capture Lan Bingju alive, "I plan to lead a group of Taoist priests to launch an attack, lure Lan Bingju out of Wolf Plains or Ice City, and let her enter the trap set by my brother. . The only person Lan Bingqu is afraid of is you, so you should leave and let the news spread. Only then will Lan Bingqu be fooled."

"Lan Bingju is a Xingluo Taoist priest, and he may be even stronger after transforming into a demon.

"No matter how strong you are, you will never reach the state of concentration. We have two smoke-eating Taoist priests, more than thirty Xinxia Taoist priests, and more than fifty inhalation Taoist priests, which are enough to form a seven-yuan hidden star array. Although Lan Binghu was once a Pang She is a Taoist priest, but she comes from the Yin Yang Department and does not have a deep understanding of the formations of the Five Elements Department. I know that she created her own fish-dragon formation, but it cannot compare with the Taoist formation. I have arranged for the magic invasion Taoist priests to try it. Now, the formation has begun to take shape and should be feasible."

Gan Zhiquan was very thoughtful, but there was one part of the plan that he didn't elaborate on, which was how he was going to lure out Lan Curling. Mu Xingqiu could guess that it would be another suicide trip, but this time it was Gan Zhiquan's turn. I come on stage.

"It's a good plan, but I want to make some changes." Mu Xingqiu had to admit that he couldn't make such a plan, especially if he didn't understand formations. Those were all the specialty of the Five Elements Department, and Gan Zhiquan was one of them. Outstanding.

"Please say."

"I happen to know a thing or two about the Fish-Dragon Formation. I can have a confrontation with the Seven-Yuan Hidden Star Formation, so that you will have a better idea."

"Okay, the Seven Yuan Hidden Star Formation will be ready for use in ten days at the earliest."

"Lan Bingju is very cunning. It's not easy to deceive her. No matter how good my reasons for leaving the team are, she will guess that you have set a trap. Although she betrayed Taoism, she has no contempt for Taoism. No. She was fooled like this, so it’s up to me to lure her out.”

"you?"

"I will go alone. If Lan Bingju's purpose is to turn all the invading Taoist priests into demons, then she will launch a sneak attack while I am away. She will think that your trap has not been set yet."

"I know, but Taoist priests always have a way. Moreover, I have taken the Demon Transformation Pill and the progress is pretty good. Lan Bingju and the so-called Yishi Lord are probably not willing to kill me so quickly. This is also an advantage for me."

This is not an advantage. Lan Bingju is not a demon and is not interested in bodies with special physiques. If given the chance, she will kill anyone without hesitation.

Gan Zhiquan thought for a while, "Where is the trap? Do you have any ideas?"

"Don't choose the location deliberately. You should follow the original route to find the spirit monsters. Release all the monsters caught along the way and let them know that I have found the key to reversing the transformation into monsters. Spiritual beasts are the easiest to turn into monsters, so naturally It’s the easiest to reverse. This is the principle of fighting fire with fire, which makes Lan Curling more nervous.”

"Okay." Gan Zhiquan put on a Taoist gesture, but did not bow immediately. "Like a mortal, only live in the present and don't care about the future."

Mu Xingqiu nodded.

Gan Zhiquan bowed and saluted, and then waved to his brother. Gan Zhiwei put away all the spells and instruments and walked to his brother. He heard nothing, but he was connected with his brother and guessed the result, so the two brothers cast it again. The ritual of orthodoxy.

Mu Xingqiu returned the favor.

The Gan brothers withdrew, and not long after, Xin Youtao rushed in alone, "Is it true that you want to challenge Lan Curling alone?"

"It's true." Mu Xingqiu told Gan Zhiquan's plan.

"I really don't understand. Did Gan Zhiquan convince you, or did you convince Gan Zhiquan? Why do I feel like you have been deceived: you will do the most dangerous task, but if Lan Bingqu takes the bait, you are likely to I wasn’t there at all, so I don’t get any credit.”

Mu Xingqiu smiled and said, "The illusion of mind and heart can directly point to the human heart, but when the magic is always beyond its power, you still have to use the simplest, clumsiest, but most effective way, which is to join in and form a whole with everyone. Gan Zhiquan and I convinced each other, so we also trusted each other. "

"You saved their lives, isn't that enough?"

"I saved their lives, but they don't value their lives. How can they thank me for this?"

"Is it really necessary to let them thank you? Their idea is actually not wrong. The Taoist priests who invaded by demons will eventually die of being possessed by demons. This is a group of Taoist priests with no future." Xin Youtao sighed, "Of course, the demons will escape Out of the Void, everyone's future is not bright, but the future of the demon-invading Taoist priests is particularly short, so why... why should we care too much about them? "

"Because I really want to capture Lan Bingju alive. She is a Taoist priest. She transformed into a demon so successfully and quickly, far surpassing those spiritual beasts in Pangshan. I hope to find out the reason. Don't underestimate these demon-invading Taoist priests. They have With the strength of Taoist priests, they also have the fighting spirit and urgency that Taoist priests lack."

"If there is enough time." Xin Youtao shook his head, "Well, anyway, you know what you are doing. Xiao Qingtao and I will go with you. To be honest, following you on adventures is better than staying with a group of demon invaders. Be safe among Taoists."

"It won't work this time. I can only take Flea with me. I believe in Gan Zhiquan's ability. As long as you are prepared in advance, he is the safest place."

"But……"

"No but, protect Xiao Qingtao, Lan Bingju's hatred for her is probably true, and Bald Man and Xiao Hao, take good care of them."

"Aren't you in a hurry to find Yang Qingyin?"

"I haven't found a way to reverse it yet, and it's useless to see her."

Dragon Demon once said that Mu Xingqiu's appearance would trigger memories that had been removed, which would be a disaster for Yang Qingyin.

"Before joining Pangshan, I heard that the Taoists always had an absolute advantage in the battle against demons. This advantage has been maintained for hundreds of thousands of years. Why haven't we encountered it once? The enemy is always so powerful. I think It seems like I’m back in Duanliu City.”

Mu Xingqiu smiled, "Because we are lucky enough to always be at the forefront of the Taoist tradition. While others are still shocked, we have already stood in front of the enemy, seen his appearance clearly, and accumulated experience for the entire Taoist tradition. , such as the art of transforming demons, it will be difficult for Lan Bingqu to succeed if he tries to do it again. "

Xin Youtao curled his lips helplessly, "You are talking more and more like my sister. You say bad things are good things. You and her... I only have one hope - the enemy's appearance will not be uglier than Lan Bingke."
