Exorcism

Yashan Taoist Priest came to the door just now. Mu Xingqiu felt that their response was too slow. Yashan should have discovered the truth about Amber Taoist Priest being hollowed out a long time ago. He didn't come to ask for it for a long time. He probably wanted to give Zhou Qian a reply. Opportunity, let him steal the bald man.

What puzzled him the most was Zuo Liuying. This Taoist priest from the Forbidden Secrets seemed to be a rebel of the Taoist tradition at one moment, and then seemed to be the most staunch defender of the Taoist tradition at the same time. Mu Xingqiu did not dare to make any judgment on him, and suddenly I remember Lan Bingju’s reminder before his death:

"He almost became a demon when he was eighteen years old. His parents lost their lives because of this. This is his inner calamity. He can be defeated with telepathy."

Mu Xingqiu had doubts about this "secret". Lan Bingke had been expelled from Pangshan when Zuo Liuying was eighteen. She didn't say how she found out about it. Maybe she just tricked him into taking the risk. trick.

Xin Youtao took a step forward, "We didn't say anything. I used the excuse that the Taoist priests were unstable and didn't let them enter the camp. They really didn't come in, but this matter is still quite troublesome."

There are too many secrets hidden in the camp, including the soul of Marquis Meng Yuan, the straw hat that was captured by Zhou Qianhui and possessed by the Demon Lord Zhengfa, Gan Zhiquan who was resurrected from the dead, Gan Zhiwei who was possessed by the devil, and dozens of Taoist priests who underwent the method of breaking the buds. , everything seems extremely abnormal to ordinary Taoist priests.

"You did the right thing, you can't let them into the camp. I'm going to see them right away - just a moment."

Mu Xingqiu turned back to his tent, summoned the Frost Soul Sword and a nine-inch long jade ax, cast a spell, and said to the bald man: "Watch the jade axe, don't let anyone get close."

"Don't worry." The bald man immediately flew to the side of the jade axe, the magic eyes on his head flashed red, showing an expression as if he was facing a formidable enemy.

Mu Xingqiu had been waiting for the Yashan Taoist priest to come to his door, and he had already prepared for it. He transferred the soul of Meng Yuanhou into the jade ax - except Sun Yulu, the Taoist priest of Luanjing Mountain, no one would think of his name. Ke's disciples actually learned the real Dengzhuke magic.

Mu Xingqiu smiled at the bald man and walked out of the tent. Xin Youtao was still waiting outside. The other Taoist priests also walked out of the tent and looked at Mu Xingqiu from a distance. There were expectations and doubts in their eyes. Few people noticed. This group's fear of foreign Taoist priests even exceeds its vigilance against monsters.

Mu Xingqiu summoned the ball of light bound by the copper seal and lightning net, handed it to Xin Youtao, "After a quarter of an hour, put away the copper seal and release the ball of light."

Xin Youtao carefully held the two copper seals. Although he didn't know what they were, he didn't ask any more questions, "I remembered it in a quarter of an hour. Is there anything else you need to explain?"

There is another thing that would be more suitable to be carried out by Gan Zhiquan, but he is in a special state now. Mu Xingqiu is unwilling to give him any orders, so he said to Xin Youtao: "After releasing the ball of light, release Zhou Qianhui as well."

"What? Let him go free? I told them that Zhou Qianhui is practicing in seclusion. Once we let him go, we can..."

"This secret cannot be kept. Let's take a risk. Also, find more people to escort Zhou Qian back to the camp."

Xin Youtao was stunned for a while, then slowly smiled, "It's really risky. Well, there is no other way."

After Mu Xingqiu finished explaining, he walked towards the outside of the camp. He had already seen a small tent three miles away, which should be the residence of Zuo Liuying and Yashan Taoist Priest.

Xiao Qingtao ran over from the crowd, "There are five Taoist priests from Yashan... something is not right. They have been locked up. Gan Zhiquan is trying to persuade them."

Mu Xingqiu glanced around, and almost all the Taoist priests showed a hint of panic, as if a child who had done something wrong suddenly found his parents standing outside and would push the door open at any time to catch him.

The demon seed has been removed, but the cracks in the Taoist priests' hearts have become more and more obvious. As a result, the demon-invading Taoist priests have become more and more like ordinary mortals. Their determination to die bravely is gone, replaced by various suspicions.

"What happened to them?"

"They insisted on going to Yashan Taoist priests to apologize, and said they would rather accept any punishment, even if they were killed for it." Xiao Qingtao turned pale because of the bud-breaking technique, and now he is even more frail.

"Where are they being held?"

Xiao Qingtao pointed to the tent, and then asked anxiously: "Can we escape this time?"

"Escape?" Mu Xingqiu smiled and shook his head. He raised his voice and said to all the invading Taoist priests in the camp: "Don't care who the people outside are. I want everyone to remember one thing. If you have made great contributions to Taoism, then Even entering the land of monsters and hiding in this snowy mountain is for the sake of Taoism. This is a fact that no one can deny. Now, I am going to meet the guests and see what rewards they bring for everyone. "

Many people laughed. Although no one took Mu Xingqiu's words seriously, his calmness still infected everyone. A few people began to whisper about whether Mu Xingqiu had been prepared.

Xiao Qingtao's expression softened a lot, she nodded solemnly, and ran back to the tent where the Yashan demon-invading Taoist priests were imprisoned.

Mu Xingqiu continued walking and saw Xiao Hao in the crowd and waved to her. Xiao Hao happily ran over and said, "Flea ran out to see Zuo Liuying yesterday. I couldn't even hold him back."

"The two of them knew each other earlier," Mu Xingqiu said.

You Liao's four legs struggled desperately, but they could not escape from the female Taoist priest's grasp.

The invading Taoist priests imposed many restrictions on the camp. Mu Xingqiu walked out and looked back, only to see a piece of pure white snow, no different from anywhere else. Only certain designated magic weapons or more powerful spells can discover the location of the camp. The latter will destroy the restrictions and arouse vigilance in the camp. Mu Xingqiu, Zhou Qianhui and Zuo Liuying all have copper coins used to track the invading Taoist priests. Yin, this is the reason why they can come back smoothly.

No spells are cast in the Yashan camp. There are seventeen tents in total, which means there are seventeen Taoist priests in total. Unless there are special circumstances, even Taoist priests who are connected will not live in the same room, which will affect personal practice.

Mu Xingqiu and Xiaohao walked slowly forward through the unknown thickness of snow.

The first Taoist priest walked out of the tent. He was tall and handsome, with an elegant smile on his face, like a mask carved directly on his face. Yashan Taoist priest Shen Jiyi nodded slightly to Mu Xingqiu, stretched out his arm, and motioned for the two of them to continue moving forward.

Mu Xingqiu nodded in return. Shen Jiyi, who was in the Yan Yan realm, was only responsible for guarding the door, which meant that a big shot came to Yashan.

The Yashan Taoist priests came out of the tent one after another, and lined up on both sides, intertwined. No matter how tall or short they were, they all looked very polite. However, no one spoke. They just used the same gesture of reaching out to signal Mu Xingqiu and Xiao Hao to go forward. OK.

Finally reaching the two innermost tents, Mu Xingqiu felt as if he had entered the mouth of a monster. The Taoist priests on both sides were sharp teeth that could bite him into pieces as long as they were closed together.

The two Taoist priests walked out of their tents almost at the same time.

One is Zuo Liuying, without any change or expression, as if he just inadvertently broke into someone else's dream, and everything has nothing to do with him. Flea then followed out, indifferent to Xiao Hao's winking greetings, and refused to leave Zuo Liuying for half a step.

The other one is a tall and thin Taoist priest. He appears to be about forty years old. He has an upright posture and a slightly dark complexion. He looks like a heavy iron statue. He should sink deep into the snow in no time, but he just doesn't. Not even a single footprint was left. This is a serious Taoist priest. Even the smile on his face looks cold, as if he is warning the other party: I can laugh, but you'd better not laugh.

Mu Xingqiu stopped after ten steps and gave formal Taoist greetings to the two of them, "Taoist Mu Xingqiu, pay homage to Master Yashan and pay homage to Taoist Master Zuo."

Xiao Hao followed him and saluted without saying a word.

The tall and thin Taoist priest was none other than Yashan Grandmaster Shen Zangqi, and he was also a spiritual Taoist priest. Mu Xingqiu had seen him several times from afar, but he had never spoken to him or even made eye contact.

Zuo Liuying remained calm, but Shen Zangqi took a step forward, the smile on his face became more obvious, "Hello, Mu Xingqiu, with so many demonic Taoist priests, it must be quite stressful."

"Grandmaster Lao is concerned about me, and the power of life and death given to me by the Taoist tradition makes things easier."

"I heard you've already done it once."

"Taoist Jiang Yinxia from Zhaoshan unfortunately became possessed by demons."

"Alas, these people should have been elites in the Taoist tradition, but they fell into this situation because of the errors of judgment by us Taoist priests who pay attention to the spirit. It is really regrettable. We owe you a formal apology."

"Everyone has no complaints. They still only want to slay demons and eliminate demons, and hope to do something more for the Taoist order."

Shen Zangqi slowly put away his smile and became more serious than the snow-capped mountains behind him. "A Taoist priest is a Taoist priest, and he is the only reliable guardian of this world. Mu Xingqiu, you know that we are on this trip..."

Zuo Liuying, who had been silent all this time, also took a step forward. Xiao Hao said for him: "Zuo Liuying said that you two should talk about it. There are some things that Mu Xingqiu can't understand."

"Of course." Shen Zangqi nodded politely, not surprised by Zuo Liuying's way of speaking. Although as a master of Yashan, his realm was somewhat worse than that of Zuo Liuying, "But let me clarify one thing first. Mu Xingqiu, you are no longer a disciple of Pang Shan, and neither is Zuo Liuying. Are you still willing to let him make all decisions for you? "

Mu Xingqiu was startled, but no one told him that such a thing would happen, and Zuo Liuying didn't even give a hint. After so many things, he had become more wary of Zuo Liuying than he trusted him.

Mu Xingqiu was silent for a while. He had a hundred reasons to say "no", but the last thing he said was: "Well, I am willing to let Taoist Zuo decide everything for me, only today, it only concerns me, What happened between the Taoist priest and Yashan."

Grandmaster Yashan would not reveal any thoughts in his heart, but Mu Xingqiu still vaguely felt that Shen Zangqi wanted to talk to him more, which made him make the final decision.

The difference in strength between Taoist priests is not only reflected in inner elixirs and spells, but also in their state of mind and the Taoist rules and secrets they master. Mu Xingqiu clearly realized that no matter how well prepared he was, negotiating with a Taoist priest who was in the spiritual realm would be difficult. Being in an extremely unequal position, the risk of trusting Zuo Liuying is actually smaller in comparison.

Shen Zangqi took a step back and said he had nothing more to say.

Zuo Liuying took another step forward, stretched out his right hand, and Xiao Hao said, "Zuo Liuying asked you to hand the Frost Soul Sword to him."
