Exorcism

"I'm back." Zhou Qianhui said with a smile. This is a great shame for him. The dignified leader of the Yashan Divine Engineering Department was actually defeated by a group of low-level Taoist priests and became a prisoner with a free rope. But look at him His expression seemed to be sipping tea with an expert from outside the world, without any hint of frustration or anger.

The two looked at each other for a while, and Mu Xingqiu said, "Are you here to steal Baldy?"

Zhou Qianhui lowered his gaze, "To be precise, I'm here to protect his safety, because I heard that you left the Taoist Demon Invader. This is not a safe approach."

Mu Xingqiu snorted. He didn't doubt Zhou Qianhui's purpose, but he could imagine his methods. In order to protect Baldy's "safety", the best way was to take Baldy away. Zhou Qianhui must have sneaked into the camp. , Unexpectedly, the invading Taoist priests had already laid a trap.

"Where's Zuo Liuying?"

Zuo Liuying claimed that he was going to Yashan to bring Feiba back, but Feiba had already escaped. He had strong magic power and a month was enough to travel back and forth to Yashan. He had not returned yet, as if he was avoiding the limelight. Mu Xingqiu had never understood Zuo Liuying's thoughts, and now he was even more confused, unable to confirm whether he was an enemy or a friend.

"I made an excuse to leave on the way. Zuo Liuying should have gone to Asan alone. He hasn't come back yet, maybe he was left behind." Zhou Qianhui told the story of how the two parted ways, then paused for a moment and continued. Said: "I think we should have a good talk. The invading Taoist priests are getting more and more out of control. They actually imprisoned me. Even the Yashan disciples refused to speak for me. Do you know what this means?"

Mu Xingqiu stared into Zhou Qianhui's eyes, "It means you are our prisoner."

Zhou Qianhui kept smiling, "Yes, I am a prisoner. The leader of the Yashan Divine Engineering Department is now a prisoner in the hands of a group of Taoist priests. Before the demon-slaying war in Baizhang City, could you imagine such a thing? Even just a month ago, I just When leaving, the Taoist priests did not dare to touch me. They would hand Mu Songxuan to me obediently and send me out of the camp. Now everything has changed. The awe of Taoism among the Taoist priests is disappearing. This means that their Taoist hearts, whether formed or not, are cracking and collapsing, which is a precursor to becoming possessed.”

"Didn't you expect that there would be other reasons for the changes in the Taoist priest?"

"Well, I heard that Xuanwu Youliao attacked the camp after Zuo Liuying and I left, and everyone thought it was ordered by Taoism.

"Is not it?"

"It is impossible for me to know, but a true Taoist priest, no matter how undisciplined he is, will voluntarily sacrifice his life when the Taoism needs it, without any complaints."

Mu Xingqiu laughed. Indeed, he had seen many Taoist priests devote themselves to Taoism without any regrets. They died in a peaceful mood, which moved the viewers and made them admired. It was because of this that Mu Xingqiu was influenced by what he wanted to do wholeheartedly. Joined Pangshan, but now...

"You made a mistake." Mu Xingqiu said.

"Oh?" Zhou Qianhui's expression showed that he was disapproving of this.

"The Taoist Priests of the Demonic Invasion set up the Seven-Yuan Hidden Star Formation to guard against both Lan Curling and monsters like You Liao. It was at the time when they were full of suspicion and wary, that you secretly broke into the camp and catered to their every wish. Suspicious. If you walk into the camp openly from the beginning, no one will stop you from taking anything, even if you want to kill someone, you will not be opposed.”

Zhou Qian thought about it for a while, "Even so, they are getting closer and closer to being possessed. Soon, you will not face one possessed person, but a group. Believe me, if You Liao is really sent by Taoism, , it will only do you good and no harm.”

Looking at Zhou Qianhui who defended Taoism wholeheartedly, Mu Xingqiu suddenly had a terrible thought in his heart: The demons directly used magic to control the monsters and made them loyal to them wholeheartedly. What did Taoism use to make the Taoist priests die without regrets? It's definitely not a spell, maybe it's some more clever and hidden method.

Zhou Qianhui's calm smile became a bit hateful in Mu Xingqiu's eyes. He had seen the same smile on the faces of many Taoist priests, which once made him very envious and even tried to imitate it.

Mu Xingqiu summoned the ball of light from the treasure bag.

The two small copper seals together maintain a lightning net, so that Mu Xingqiu does not have to cast spells all the time. He only needs to inject a little spell every once in a while. The light ball is bound in the net, but it still has not yielded. They were rushing left and right inside, and there was never a moment of silence.

Mu Xingqiu placed the trapped light ball between the two of them, "Do you recognize it?"

Zhou Qianhui didn't even look at it, "Where did you get it?"

“From a demon clan that was unwilling to kill me.

Zhou Qianhui was silent for a while, "There are some things that you have to stand high enough to see clearly the reasons and truth."

"Many people have said similar things to me." Mu Xingqiu put away the ball of light. He had already got the answer. The ball of light was indeed a Taoist spell. Zhou Qianhui recognized it but was unwilling to introduce it in detail, "I really think you should change it." Excuse."

"Be careful, evil thoughts all start from doubt, you should know this very well."

Mu Xingqiu turned around and walked out of the tent. He had not released the ball of light because he felt that the time had not come yet. If the ball of light really flew back to Yashan, he would not be able to deal with it now, so he might as well pretend to be confused for the time being.

"This is a big trouble." Xin Youtao, who was waiting outside, nodded tacitly to Mu Xingqiu, "We originally suggested letting him go, but everyone was too nervous, and you were not here, and no one was willing to make the decision. As a result, ——We can’t let go even if we want to. We are hiding in this remote snow mountain to prevent the news from being leaked. "

"Zhou Qianhui has evil intentions." Xiao Qingtao glanced at the bald man, "Yashan has made a promise before, Zhou Qianhui broke it first, Taoism... Yashan can't protect him."

The bald man was holding a skull lantern to avoid Xiaohao's touch. When he heard these words, he suddenly jumped on Mu Xingqiu's shoulder, "You can take out anything in my brain, even if you split me open, I won't do it." "It hurts, but don't hand me over. Even if Pang Shan comes to ask for me, I won't leave."

The bald man squeezed his eyes, but he had no tears to shed. He could only show a sad face, "I don't need to eat or drink. I can fly myself, so I can make a living."

Mu Xingqiu smiled, "Whether it's begging, stealing, or robbing, I won't agree to anyone who wants to take you away."

Mu Xingqiu spoke much more cautiously than before, not because he deliberately left any room for error, but because the Frost Soul Sword's failure several times made him deeply understand how weak the vows of the weak are.

Baldy didn't think so much. He jumped up and down excitedly, shouting: "I don't agree either." Then he turned his eyes to Xiao Hao, Xin Youtao and Xiao Qingtao in turn.

Xin Youtao and Xiao Qingtao both said "disagree" with a smile. Only Xiao Hao looked at the skull lantern with greedy eyes and said, "If you let me touch it, I will always be on your side."

The bald man glanced at Mu Xingqiu, and after receiving the signal, he handed over the skull lantern, "Just a moment."

Gan Zhiquan walked through the thick snow from a distance, and Xin Youtao said to Xiao Qingtao: "Let's go help refine the elixir."

Xiao Qingtao knew Xin Youtao's intention and said to Xiao Hao and Bald Zi: "Have you two ever seen refining elixirs?"

The two of them were immediately intrigued by these words and followed Xiao Qingtao obediently. The bald man hesitated for a while, and only after Mu Xingqiu assured him that he would not leave secretly did he feel at ease to watch the excitement.

Gan Zhiquan stopped seven steps away from Mu Xingqiu, with no trace of sadness on his face, "You saved everyone again."

"I just found out what spell Lan Bingqu used. Someone else refined the elixir."

"At least you think we people are worth saving." Gan Zhiquan glanced at the tent where Zhou Qianhui was imprisoned, "I decided to keep him because I was worried that after he failed this time, he wouldn't be sneaky next time. Yes, it is even more dangerous for the Taoist priests."

Mu Xingqiu was a little surprised, because Gan Zhiquan's thoughts were similar to his. Zhou Qianhui's biggest mistake was not believing that the demon invaded the Taoist priests. His behavior of secretly breaking into the camp aroused public outrage. If he made any request openly, he might get a lot of money. Most Taoist priests agree.

"Zhou Qianhui should have followed us anyway. There is nothing wrong with keeping him."

Gan Zhiquan nodded and pointed to a small tent nearby, indicating that he wanted to talk privately.

This tent was originally Mu Xingqiu's residence. After he left, Bald Man lived here alone. There were not many things and they were almost untouched. However, there were several "正" characters carved on the top of the small wooden table, which probably meant that Bald Man counted Xiao Qiu. How long have you been away?

Mu Xingqiu felt guilty.

"Tell me more about the 'method of re-annihilation'." Gan Zhiquan didn't notice these details. He had more things to care about.

Mu Xingqiu summoned a black-striped straw hat, "This is a spell passed down by the demon clan: kill a person, and then seal the person's soul within the original body. On the surface, the person is still alive, the body will not age, and the soul will not age. Being able to feel the outside world normally is like having eternal life.”

"But this person will always be loyal to the caster?"

"Well, if the caster does not make any demands, this person is still free and can retain all his previous thoughts and judgments." Mu Xingqiu paused for a while. He did not have a thorough understanding of the Demon Lord's rectification. "This This is the conclusion I have drawn from my observations so far.”

"You have already performed the method of re-annihilation once."

"Pei Zihan. One thing I have to make clear first is that the body of the person being cast may undergo significant changes. Lan Bingju and Pei Zihan both grew wings after being cast by Feiba. Pei Zihan was cast by me for the second time. After casting the spell, the tail grows and stays there forever.”

Pei Zihan originally had a tail that appeared every once in a while, but now it never disappears.

Gan Zhiquan thought for a while, "In other words, if I allow you to cast a spell on my brother, whether he will retain his freedom in the future depends entirely on whether you make a request to him."

Mu Xingqiu nodded.

Gan Zhiquan fell into deep thought again, this time for a longer time, "Can the method of re-annihilation really cut off evil thoughts?"

"To be honest, I'm not sure. I know very little about Demon Lord Zhengfa. Many things are just guessed."

Gan Zhiquan took a deep breath, raised his head slightly, and said seriously: "Under normal circumstances, I would not agree to this kind of thing. I would rather let my brother's soul fly away than let him be controlled by outsiders. But the situation now is different. The most important thing is that you are different. I have seen what you have done with my own eyes, so I am willing to believe you."

Gan Zhiquan took a step forward and said, "Please cast a spell on me first. If everything is as you guessed, then cast a spell on my brother. If the spell fails, please execute your power and kill both of our brothers."
