Exorcism

It took Mu Xingqiu nearly half an hour to reach the palace at the highest point of the Ice City, and the speed of falling was much faster. Even so, it was slower than Mu Xingqiu expected. He guessed that the hole might go straight to the ground. .

His two inner elixirs were constantly rotating. Even if he couldn't cast spells, they could slow down his fall slightly and allow his third eye to see more clearly in the darkness.

There was something shining below, like a reflection on the water. After witnessing the scene of the melting corpses in Saint Child Lake, Mu Xingqiu didn't want to touch the water in the Ice City easily, so he once again used the bone-forging fist technique to move forward in the air. At a distance, the long whip in his hand separated from Pei Zihan and was thrown towards the nearby cave wall.

Although he couldn't see clearly, he was sure that the cave wall was not smooth and there might be something that could cling to it.

The first whip hit the stone, making a crisp sound that rippled back and forth in the cave without stopping.

The second whip was wrapped around something, but the force of the fall was too great, and the thing was pulled away.

Mu Xingqiu slowed down a little and threw out the whip for the third time. This time he finally wrapped around something solid, and his fall suddenly stopped. All the bones in his body were almost broken. If he hadn't been practicing Bone Strengthening Fist, he would have been injured very soon. May not be able to bear this stop.

He swayed in the air, stretched out his other arm, and caught Pei Zihan. Feiba said that he would come back from the dead, but Mu Xingqiu felt that he was already dead and his body became cold.

There was a pool of clear water three or four feet below his feet. As he got closer, Mu Xingqiu could see it more clearly. The water in the pool was indeed as viscous and calm as the lake water. Occasionally there were microwave fluctuations, reflecting a little light.

Fortunately, the pool was not big and there was still flat ground around it. Mu Xingqiu shook it hard a few times, separated the long whip from the protruding object, and jumped to the ground.

The ground was also paved with white stones and was very smooth. It didn't look like there was a mechanism. Mu Xingqiu stood still for a while, first observing the surroundings with his third eye, and then thinking about the current situation.

The area at the bottom of the cave is several times larger than the entrance, like a large circular square. There are not just one, but seven water pools, scattered in different locations. There seem to be many small doors on the cave wall, but Mu Xingqiu has none. Take a closer look.

Mu Xingqiu is not too worried that he will be killed. Lan Bingju's threat is just an empty intimidation. Feiba's plan is the truth: turn as many Taoist priests as possible into monsters and form a powerful army. Mu Xingqiu Even if it is not necessary, it is important for them to transform into demons.

There is also the light ball in the flea corner. It lit up just now, which seems to indicate that it is about to jump out. What will it bring? A powerful spell, or even a group of Taoist priests?

Mu Xingqiu raised his head and looked up. He couldn't see anything ten feet away. His third eye was greatly restricted here, but he could see clearly what the whip had just wrapped around him. It was a statue extending diagonally from the cave wall. Come out of the statue.

In fact, the cave walls are covered with statues, statues of the Virgin that look exactly the same, but with slightly different postures. The thing he pulled off with the second whip was the palm of a statue. The palm fell on the edge of the pool and shattered into powder.

Mu Xingqiu put down Pei Zihan in his arm, feeling a little impatient. What happened to the flea on it? He had no idea. The Frost Soul Sword he swore to protect was still in the hands of the Holy Mother of All Sons. It was a No one can tell what crazy actions this weird banshee will do.

He took three steps back and forth to calm down. Just as he stood still, a voice suddenly came from behind him, "Who are you?"

The sound came from a small door on the cave wall in the distance. Mu Xingqiu walked slowly over, carefully avoiding the seven pools. The door was very short and reached between Mu Xingqiu's chest and abdomen. There was a small window above. He had to Only when he bent down could he see a pair of strange eyes inside, "You are not a descendant of the Virgin Mary."

Those eyes were relatively normal, not that close together.

"Well, we are the demon soldiers of Ice City." The demon paused, "Because we wanted to escape, we were locked up here."

"you?"

A series of voices sounded from inside the door, and finally the demon clan next to the window said: "There are more than 1,300 demon soldiers in Ice City, and almost all of them are here, because we all want to escape."

Mu Xingqiu understood. No wonder he had only seen the descendants of the Holy Mother and the foreign monsters since he entered the city. He had not seen any of the other monsters originally in Bingcheng. They were all imprisoned underground. "You know Cicada?" Is it wide?”

Cicada Guang was a cicada-winged demon who claimed to have escaped from Ice City. Yin Buchen once asked for information from him and later told Mu Xingqiu.

"Chan Guang? Where did you see him?" the demon inside the door asked excitedly.

"A place three days away from Ice City."

"Did you hear that? Changuang really escaped. It's true!" A loud voice sounded from inside the door, and it took a while for it to quiet down. "Who are you? How did you fall into this white sand cave?"

Just as Mu Xingqiu was about to speak, a surprised voice came from another door not far away, "Mu Xingqiu, are you Mu Xingqiu?"

Mu Xingqiu felt that the voice was very similar to Yin Buchen's, but it seemed a little unreal because of his excessive excitement. He walked over, bent down and looked, and saw Yin Buchen's wet eyes in the window, "Why are you here? "

Yin Buchen couldn't see in the darkness, but he finally confirmed through the sound that it was Mu Xingqiu, and opened the window. After a while, the eyes of Yu Wang Fadong were revealed inside. He was also unable to see, and was not as excited as Yin Buchen. Instead, he said calmly: "Without your help, we would have invaded the Ice City."

"Ha, you can really brag." Yin Buchen pushed Yu Wang away, "That's right, when it got dark, Lan Bingqu came over by boat and said that we would have a fight and the winner could cross the lake. We all had a fight, and more than a hundred demons died. Ke Lanbing said that this was not going to work, and we had to fight again until there were only fifty demons left. Of course we wouldn't fight. There were more than seven hundred demons, she said. Only fifty of them would kill us all, so we besieged Lan Bingju together. Who would have thought that she could perform magic while standing in the poisonous gas, and put us all into a pocket, and it was so dark. Know when you're in a cell."

There were voices from behind the dozens of small doors on the cave wall. Some asked, "Is it really Mu Xingqiu?", while some demons were puzzled, "Who is Mu Xingqiu? Which clan of demons is he?"

"Mu Xingqiu is a Taoist priest. He is a unique Taoist priest. I... I came to Bingcheng with him." Yin Buchen said loudly. The surrounding voices first became noisy and then became quiet again. Yin Buchen was anxious. He said: "Mu Xingqiu, please rescue me... let's get out."

Mu Xingqiu had already observed that the door on the cave wall had no latch at all. It was just a large piece of pig iron set in white stone. The window could barely pass through a normal person's arm, even the smallest Cicada Wing. Even the demon can't get through.

If he could still cast spells, it would be easy for Mu Xingqiu to break the iron door, but now he only had the Bone Forging Fist left to use. He grabbed the edge of the window with both hands and tried his best to not move it, "No, I can't open it. "

"What? You can't even cast spells?" Yin Buchen was surprised.

The Ice City demon soldier in the other door spoke, "Only demons smeared with the blood of the Virgin can perform magic, not ordinary descendants of the Virgin."

Mu Xingqiu solved a doubt, but it was no longer useful. Even if the Holy Mother of All Sons was still in front of him, he was no match now.

"This is terrible. Are we going to be locked up here for the rest of our lives?" Yin Buchen was extremely disappointed.

"No." The same ice city demon soldier replied.

"That's great." Yin Buchen breathed a sigh of relief.

"When it gets light outside, the water in the lake here will rise, drown us all, and turn us into white sand."

"Lake water? Where did the lake water come from?" Yin Bushen's heart was up and down. He couldn't see anything. Because of fear, he never communicated with the demon clan in other prisons.

"There are seven pools behind me, which should be connected to Shengzi Lake." Mu Xingqiu understood the purpose of the window. The lake water flooded in here and flowed out from other places.

"Ahh..." Yin Buchen let out a series of frightened cries and looked behind Mu Xingqiu.

Mu Xingqiu turned around suddenly and saw a pair of blood-red eyes slowly rising.

Pei Zihan really came to life and was struggling to stand up. His body began to change: the wound on his cheek became bigger and bigger, almost half of the bones in his face were exposed, and a pair of membranous wings grew on his back. , like an insect that has just emerged from its cocoon, slowly growing larger and unfolding.

"Has it been fifteen days?" Pei Zihan asked tremblingly.

"No, it's less than one night." Mu Xingqiu said.

The blood-red eyes blinked, "Is this a step to transform into a demon? My bones...ah, I have wings, but why did I wake up so quickly? Why do I feel weak and weak? Mr. Yishi! Mr. Yishi is here where?"

"Up there, do you think you can fly?" Mu Xingqiu walked towards Pei Zihan.

"I... try." Pei Zihan's membranous wings were fully unfolded. He tried to flap them and let out a muffled groan, "No, I don't have any strength at all... My inner elixir is gone too. It becomes wings."

After the two Taoist priests Lan Bingju and Pei Zihan turned into demons, their inner alchemy grew into wings. Mu Xingqiu found it a little strange. What was even more strange was that Lan Bingju could also perform Taoist magic.

"Where is this? Why am I here?" Pei Zihan had no idea about the battle that had just happened in the palace.

"This is the underground prison of Ice City. When the lake water rises, we will all die here." Mu Xingqiu did not intend to tell Pei Zihan that he had dragged him down.

"Why, why? The Yishi demon has helped me transform into a demon, but he wants to kill me?"

Mu Xingqiu didn't understand the reason either. If Feiba and Lan Bingju cared about Taoist priests transforming into demons, they should at least rescue Pei Zihan, but they haven't taken any action until now.

"Perhaps Feiba thinks you are a failure." Mu Xingqiu joked, not feeling guilty about this in his heart. Pei Zihan had gone to the point of even bending his knees in order to transform into a demon, and he was not worthy of respect.

"I, I failed?" Pei Zihan's voice trembled even more, and he flapped his wings again. The pain made all the bones in his body feel like they were scratched by sharp knives. He raised his head and shouted: "Mr. Yishi! Feiba! Come out quickly. ,Give me an explanation!"

Something must have happened above, so that Lan Bingju, Feiba and Wan Zi Shen couldn't come down to rescue Pei Zihan. Mu Xingqiu thought, the light ball in Flea Corner was probably showing off its power at this time, but why was it so powerful? Jumping out at this time?

If the light ball was not bound by the ice city's magic, Mu Xingqiu should have shown his power when he first landed, entered the city, or was in danger, instead of waiting until now. If it was bound, he should continue to wait.

Things were a bit strange, and the reminder from the evil Taoist priest Gan Zhiquan before his farewell suddenly rang in Mu Xingqiu's mind: "I still think you should die...be careful, don't die too early."
