Exorcism

At first, the ice and snow on the mountain peaks swept down the mountain with a loud rumbling sound, like an angry sea wave from the Sword Washing Pond. Just as the demon-invading Taoist priests flew away from the mountain col where they were camping, the real mountain hidden under the ice and snow suddenly collapsed, large and small. Stones were flying everywhere like raindrops.

Everyone's expression changed, and they finally understood why Zuo Liuying ordered them to evacuate immediately. They all speeded up and did not stop until they were dozens of miles away.

The roaring sound under the snow is still heard continuously, but Moshan Mountain has disappeared. Like its name, it has been completely destroyed, and its place cannot even be found in future legends.

The old camp of the Taoist priests was completely submerged in gravel, ice and snow.

Xin Youtao couldn't bear it anymore, so he flew to the front and stopped Zuo Liuying and Mu Xingqiu, "What on earth is going on? Who knocked down the snow mountain? Is it to kill us people?"

This was everyone's doubt, even Mu Xingqiu was confused.

Zuo Liuying stopped in the air and did not answer Xin Youtao's question. He turned around and looked at Moshan Mountain. He seemed to see something bad. He lowered his height and continued flying to the north at a faster speed.

Xin Youtao looked at Mu Xingqiu blankly.

"Follow him first." Mu Xingqiu said. After all, Zuo Liuying had just saved everyone once, so there was no need to doubt him in this situation.

Zuo Liuying led everyone to fly for several hours, and did not stop until midnight. During this period, he kept changing directions, as if he was avoiding a vicious pursuer. His speed was too fast, and the Taoist priests with weak magic power could only barely keep up. .

There is also a demonic Taoist named Gan Zhiwei and several restless Yashan Taoist priests in the team, who become a drag on everyone.

Zuo Liuying stopped at the right time, because the Taoist priests were becoming more and more doubtful, and their gratitude to Zuo Liuying was turning into resentment.

I don't know when it started snowing again, and it was falling silently. The Taoist priests were in the mountains, surrounded by darkness. Their presence could not be felt until the cold snowflakes fell on their faces and penetrated into their necks.

Only Zuo Liuying had a small ball of light in his hand, and relying on it, some Taoist priests did not lose their direction even though they fell behind.

No one gave the order, but everyone held their breath and moved as close as possible, waiting for the Taoist priest behind to catch up and for Zuo Liuying to give everyone an explanation.

A loud voice sounded in the dark night, "What's the point of running away? We should have died in our hometown of Laozu Peak. It would be a mistake to linger on. Look at what we are like now. We have become the target of the Taoist order!"

No one catered to these words, but no one refuted them. Everyone felt similar to a bereaved dog, secretly asking themselves: Why didn't you commit suicide on the battlefield to eliminate the demon? At least he would die a grand death, and his deeds would be spread for many years, and he would not be wandering in a land of monsters without even a specific goal.

Mu Xingqiu once helped the invading Taoist priests set their goals, but was forgotten in his cold heart.

The light in Zuo Liuying's hand became brighter and brighter, and finally covered a large area, revealing his figure and illuminating the dense flying snow.

The Taoist priests suddenly realized that their feet were only a few feet above the ground, so they all landed and walked towards the center of the light.

They stood on a hillside, Zuo Liuying stood at the highest point, and Flea stood beside him. When he saw everyone gathered, he waved to Xiao Hao.

Xiao Hao happily walked over, not forgetting to wink at the bald man next to her. In the past, the bald man was responsible for delivering messages to Zuo Liuying, but now it was her turn.

Xiao Hao stood a few steps in front of Zuo Liuying, transmitting words very quickly without even thinking, as if Zuo Liuying was speaking directly with her mouth.

"Mu Xingqiu, you shouldn't have released that ball of light. This was a mistake." Xiao Hao's first words were directed at his "master."

Mu Xingqiu stood in the front row and hummed casually. He was not going to argue until Zuo Liuying understood what he said. Xin Youtao was not happy. He was the one who released the ball of light and Zhou Qianhui. If there was any mistake, he would have to take responsibility. "Hey, hey, hey, don't rush to say right or wrong. First, explain what happened when the snow mountain collapsed." , and the group of Yashan Taoist priests who bluffed and left, what kind of trick are we playing? Why are we running so far as if we were running for our lives?”

Xiaohao rolled her eyes in confusion, "Are you asking me?"

"Of course not, I'm asking...the one behind you...the first seat on the left." Xin Youtao involuntarily softened his tone and looked very respectful when he said the word "first seat".

"Then you should look at him. I'm just speaking for him. If you stare at me like this, I'll get nervous." Xiao Hao raised her hand around her neck and pointed at Zuo Liuying behind her.

Xin Youtao reluctantly raised his gaze and stared at Zuo Liuying for a while before having to move away. The face of an eighteen-year-old young man who looked too handsome was reflected in the dim yellow light and the snowy sky. , seemed weird and mysterious, Xin Youtao felt his heart beat faster, felt an inexplicable pressure, and his full energy instantly disappeared.

Not just him, most of the Taoist priests had the same feeling. It was one thing to complain silently in their hearts, but once they saw that face that was younger than them, no one dared to ask questions.

The crowd moved aside. Gan Zhiquan walked to the front and looked directly into Zuo Liuying's eyes without any hesitation. "Thank you for saving our lives, but since we are following you, we want to know the whole truth."

Zuo Liuying moved the hand holding the luminous orb in front of him, illuminating the Taoist priest who boldly asked him more clearly. Gan Zhiquan still did not avoid him, but everyone around him moved two or three steps away. Even Xin Youtao also moved toward him. Lean sideways.

Everyone has a common idea: Gan Zhiquan dared to question Zuo Liuying, not because he was brave, but because he could not be regarded as a "living person" at all.

Xiao Hao nodded and said, "Zuo Liuying said, the truth is very simple. Taoism wants you to die, but it turns out that it is only done in secret, because that ball of light is probably going to be hunted down in public."

The Taoist priests were silent. Although there had long been rumors that Youlia was sent by Taoism to eliminate them, but to pursue them openly meant that they would become Taoism's visible enemies, no different from the demon clan.

"No, it's impossible." Xin Youtao shook his head, still refusing to look at Zuo Liuying, "The Taoists must have a reason to publicly get rid of these evil Taoist priests. They... we have not done anything to harm the interests of the Taoists. On the contrary. , more than a month ago, we were at the forefront of slaying demons, almost hand-to-hand with Qi Wushang, it is impossible for the orthodoxy to just accuse us. "

Mu Xingqiu took a step forward. He could look directly into Zuo Liuying's eyes. As early as when he first joined Pangshan, he had looked at each other with the head of the Forbidden Secret Department on the Ancestor Peak. "What on earth is that ball of light?" thing?"

"The Flowing Fire Golden Bell." As soon as Xiao Hao finished speaking, a look of sudden realization appeared on his face, "It turns out that it is the Flowing Fire Golden Bell, which is tangible but insubstantial, startling but silent, swift and traceless, a rare ninth-grade magical weapon, oops , I didn’t see such a precious thing clearly.”

Mu Xingqiu could see it clearly, but he never imagined that the thing could be a magic weapon.

There are many Taoist magic weapons, ranging from the first level to the ninth level. Needless to say the nine treasures, they are the top treasures and are not included in the eighty-first level at all. As long as they join the Taoist priests in each mountain, even if they are not Disciples who condense Qi into Pills at least have the opportunity to see their own treasures. Low-grade magic weapons are everywhere, and they may even fall into the hands of mortals. On the contrary, those high-grade magic weapons, especially those above ninth grade, are extremely It is rare and most Taoist priests will never come into contact with it in their lifetime.

The Flowing Fire Golden Bell is such a high-grade magic weapon. The worst one is the ninth grade. Because it is qualityless, silent, and traceless, and the patterns and records in the books are not detailed enough, Mu Xingqiu made a misjudgment. Thinking it was a magic spell, Zhou Qianhui must have recognized it, but he didn't say anything.

Few people have seen the ninth-grade magic weapon, but most Taoist priests have heard of it and are more aware of their uniqueness. The Taoist priests fell silent again.

Xiao Qingtao said, "The ninth-grade magic weapon is a magic weapon. The seal must be released with the permission of at least three masters. It has not been used for many years. How could it be...how could it be..."

When the Ancestor Peak was destroyed and the Pangshan disciples were in dire straits in Duanliu City, even if they used the Ancestral Tower, there were no ninth-grade magic weapons available. This was because the enemy they faced was a demon, not a demon, and they couldn't find one. to three masters.

"Feiba." Mu Xingqiu remembered it and briefly recounted his experience in Ice City, "Feiba has Demon Lord Zhengfa on his body, so the Taoist order can use the Flowing Fire Golden Bell on him, but the Flowing Fire Golden Bell did not kill him. Instead of killing him, combine with him and give him great power so that he can kill me wholeheartedly.”

Although he had suspected it for a long time, once it was confirmed, Mu Xingqiu still felt angry and sad.

He originally thought that the light ball came from Yashan, but now he realized that it was a joint decision of at least three masters. Then he had a doubt, "The Flowing Fire Golden Bell is a ninth-grade magic weapon, how could it be trapped by my lightning?"

"Because the Flowing Fire Golden Bell is a demon-destroying thing, but the Mind Lightning is a Taoist magic. It refuses to compete with Taoism. This is why it must be combined with the demon clan before it can be used to kill you. You are lucky, the power of the Flowing Fire Golden Bell Just think about how big it is when you think about the fallen Demon Death Peak."

"Ah!" Xin Youtao cried out in surprise, and the other demonic Taoist priests looked at each other with obvious expressions of astonishment.

Xiao Hao continued to speak for Zuo Liuying, "This was supposed to be a secret. After killing you, Liuhuo Golden Bell returned to its original place and everything was over. But you didn't die. You caught it and insisted on keeping it in Yashan. It appears in front of the Grandmaster, as if you have figured out the whole story."

Everyone finally understood that whether it was You Liao or the Flowing Fire Golden Bell, it was originally a secret method. Even if the Taoist priests had suspicions, they could not provide clear evidence. However, Mu Xingqiu caught one of them and forced Taoism to The only option is to take public measures.

"Why did Grandmaster Yashan destroy the Flowing Fire Golden Bell? Why didn't he do it then?" Mu Xingqiu asked.

"Even a Taoist priest and master would be embarrassed if his secrets were exposed on the spot, so he destroyed the magic weapon. He didn't do anything for the time being, because this was not just a matter of Asan, but a crisis for the entire Taoism. He wanted to Obtain the consent of other masters, but he left a clue among you so that you can be found at any time."

The demon-invading Taoist priests quickly dispersed, making way for Zhou Qianhui, who was standing in the middle of the crowd.
