Exorcism

Gan Zhiwei stood up straight, with his chin raised slightly. The free rope tied to his body was not like a restraint, but like a decoration. He looked down at the small group of people in front of him with arrogant eyes, looking more like a real Taoist priest than ever before. ,"I am right.

His tone was more confident than ever, "Tao Tong will prove it."

This is a snow cave, created by Zuo Liuying's magic. His suggestion was approved by everyone: leave Zhou Qianhui on the ground to see if he can really attract the Taoist attack within seven days, and the others will follow Zuo Liuying went underground.

The snow cave is winding and full of dusk-like light. There are many recessed independent rooms on both sides. Gan Zhiwei's "cell" is located in the deepest part. The small group of Taoist priests standing in front of him - including his brother Gan Zhiquan——He came to watch Mu Xingqiu perform the Demon Lord’s rectification.

After being possessed by the demon, Gan Zhiwei became even more fearless. He stared at Mu Xingqiu, who was closest to him, "You are already a demon. It was destined to be like this when you decided to take the demon pill voluntarily. You found a hiding place in the ice city. So, that’s not enough, you have to turn all the demonic Taoist priests into monsters.”

Mu Xingqiu had seen the stubbornness and delusions of possessed Taoists, so he did not argue, summoned a black-striped straw hat, walked to Gan Zhiwei, and put the straw hat on his head.

He had already told the demon-invading Taoist priests, especially Gan Zhiquan, that the Demon Lord's rectification on the straw hat was incomplete and might leave hidden dangers. However, Zhiquan still insisted on casting the spell on his brother as soon as possible because he did not want an accident to happen. The younger brother is also controlled by demonic thoughts.

"Taoist Priest Gan Zhiquan!" Gan Zhiwei called out his brother's name, "Wake up quickly and see what you are doing! I am a disciple of the Forbidden Secrets Department of Hongshan and your younger brother, but you personally gave me to the demon clan. Taoist Priest Everyone, Gan Zhiquan has lost his Taoist heart and was manipulated by Mu Xingqiu. You are still awake. Remember this moment, remember the torture I have endured, and don’t follow in my footsteps. Be wary of the demons! …”

Mu Xingqiu has already had experience in casting spells on Gan Zhiquan, so this time there is no need to mess around, and he directly injects an appropriate amount of magic power. The straw hat automatically moves without wind, and the black magic text passes over Gan Zhiquan's body and returns to the straw hat in an instant.

Gan Zhiwei slowly fell down, and Gan Zhiquan stepped forward, supported his brother, and asked him to sit against the wall.

"When he wakes up, the evil thoughts will disappear." Mu Xingqiu said to the seven or eight Taoist priests at the door. They were not only here to watch, but also to make an evaluation.

"The Tao Heart will also disappear, and the inner elixir will be transformed into another thing. I don't know what to call this thing, but it is definitely not a demon elixir, because it still produces Taoist mana and can also be used to cast Taoist spells. "

A Taoist priest walked up to Gan Zhiwei, stretched out his hand to feel his breath, pressed his thumb on his forehead to check for a while, turned to his companions and said, "He is really dead."

The Taoist priests looked at each other and left silently. No one knew what impact this observation had on them.

"I'll stay here with him." Gan Zhiquan said, looking at his younger brother with obvious affection in his eyes. This was an emotion that he would never show or even cut off as a Taoist priest.

Mu Xingqiu nodded and left alone. Bald Man was waiting not far away, following him silently, and suddenly whispered, "I don't like these Taoist priests."

"Why?" Mu Xingqiu did not stop and continued to move forward in the twists and turns of the snow cave.

"They... they... have changed." The bald man muttered, rushing to the front of Mu Xingqiu and flying backwards facing him. "They have become careless and suspicious. They don't trust anyone, but they don't My own ideas seem to be owed to them by everyone. If you ask me, Brother Xiaoqiu should just leave them alone, and then..."

There were Taoist priests living in the sunken rooms on both sides. The bald man was talking enthusiastically, regardless of whether others could hear him or not. He accidentally bumped into the ice and snow at the corner, let out an ouch, and forgot what he was going to say.

Mu Xingqiu reached out and turned the bald man around so that he could see the road, "Do you remember the people from Yelin Town?"

"Of course, that is our hometown, and more than half of them have the surname Mu and Shen. I always think that if Yelin Town was still there, our Mu family would finally be able to surpass the Shen family. Why? Because there is Brother Xiaoqiu... "

The bald man had a simple mind. Whenever he mentioned Yelin Town, he kept talking enthusiastically, recalling a lot of past events and forgetting all his dissatisfaction with the demonic Taoist priests.

Mu Xingqiu kept listening and remembered many things. Even the scene where he was beaten by his father seemed so warm.

The bald man had finished talking and asked in surprise: "Brother Xiaoqiu, why did you mention Yelin Town?"

Mu Xingqiu smiled and said, "You think everything is fine in Yelin Town, but have you ever thought that the calculations and suspicions of these Taoist priests are very similar to those of the people in Yelin Town. In the past, they were actually unique. It's just that we are in Pangzhou." After staying in the mountains for so long, I kind of forgot what ordinary mortals are like.”

"Is that so? Why don't I think..." The bald man thought for a while and became speechless. He flew forward silently and almost hit the snow wall again. Mu Xingqiu reached out to push him away.

"Are we the ones who have changed?" Bald Man said doubtfully, "I... can never return to Pangshan again, nor can I call myself a disciple of Pangshan, right?"

"You are still a disciple of Pangshan, but you can't go back to Pangshan."

The bald man smiled and said, "Pangshan is where Brother Xiaoqiu, Xiaoqingtao, Zuo Liuying and Flea are. Alas, it would be great if I and Shen Hao were here too. Let's establish a new Pangshan ourselves!"

Mu Xingqiu pushed the bald man forward, secretly thinking about how far the relationship between these people in the snow cave and Taoism would go. They had never thought of betraying Taoism, or even wanted to sacrifice themselves for Taoism, just because they might be possessed by demons. If you use it, will you be killed?

"Mu Xingqiu." Xin Youtao waved to Mu Xingqiu from the snow room next to him.

"What's going on?" Mu Xingqiu walked in.

The bald man flew around Xin Youtao and said, "Well, you can be the head of Fulu Branch." He was still dreaming about the new Pang Mountain.

Xin Youtao didn't understand what the bald man was talking about, so he gave a perfunctory laugh and said seriously to Mu Xingqiu, "What should I do with Xiao Qingtao?"

"Um?"

"What I mean is, if Dao Tong is really like what Zuo Liuying said, Xiao Qingtao will...be implicated."

Mu Xingqiu understood that Xiao Qingtao was still a disciple of Pangshan and had never been attacked by demons. There was still a possibility of returning to Pangshan. "After seven days, I will persuade her to leave."

Xin Youtao's face suddenly turned red, "Don't get me wrong, this is not what Xiao Qingtao meant. I told you on my own initiative. I will stay."

Mu Xingqiu patted Xin Youtao on the shoulder. The prince had never been a brave person. It was very rare for him to follow Xiao Qingtao so far. "Without you by your side, Xiao Qingtao will be even more lonely and in danger. Don't worry about Taoist precepts, let alone royal rules, none of these things can make you Xin Youtao."

Xin Youtao was stunned for a while, then shook his head, "I won't leave, at least until everything is ready for you to enter the Ice City, I won't leave. This is my decision, Xin Youtao's decision!"

Mu Xingqiu nodded and left. After walking a certain distance, Baldzi asked doubtfully: "What exactly does Xin Youtao mean? Should he leave or stay? Isn't he willing to be the head of the Talisman Division?"

"Give him some time and he will figure it out."

The bald man frowned, not knowing what to think about. For him, things were simple and clear. He had to stay with Brother Xiaoqiu, and no one could take him away.

Zuo Liuying's room is located at the other end of the snow cave. In order to accommodate the fleas, it is taller than the other rooms. Xiaohao is holding Youliao to make the flea happy. She has made up her mind to do everything possible to get Qilin closer to her. When he saw Mu Xingqiu and Bald Zi coming in, he just nodded casually, his attention still on the flea.

Zuo Liuying leaned against the wall and sat suspended in mid-air. There were seven magical artifacts in front of him: a mirror, a bell, a lamp, a candle, a seal, a bead, and a ruler. For him, creating a snow cave that could hold nearly a hundred people was It's easy. The most difficult thing is to avoid being tracked by the Taoist tradition. You have to use the help of magic weapons.

Zuo Liuying closed his eyes and thought, while Mu Xingqiu stood in front of him and waited. After a while, the bald man felt bored and wanted to play with Artemisia and Flea, but he held back, thinking that he would never be like that. Xin Youtao also left Brother Xiaoqiu halfway.

After half an hour, Zuo Liuying opened his eyes. Xiao Hao came over reluctantly and spoke for him: "Zuo Liuying asked you to take out your straw hat."

Mu Xingqiu took out a black-striped straw hat. Zuo Liuying liked to be mysterious, but there was also an advantage. You didn't have to go round and round when talking to him. He would either say something or not, he wouldn't beat around the bush, and he was very good at guessing what the other person was thinking.

The bronze mirror in front of Zuo Liuying flew to a place one foot above the straw hat. Only then did Mu Xingqiu notice that the bronze mirror could illuminate people on both sides, with no back and no inscription.

The bronze mirror emitted two rays of light, one covering the straw hat, but the other did not point at Mu Xingqiu, but illuminated the bald man.

"Wow, what a good mirror." The bald man said dreamily, stretching out three strands of hair, "What should I do to get such a mirror?"

Zuo Liuying obviously wanted to put Baldy's mark on the straw hat. Just as Mu Xingqiu was about to stop him, Xiao Hao spoke, "Zuo Liuying said that the Demon Lord's dharma rectification is ominous. You can't put a mark on it, but Mu Songxuan can, because ...Because he is heartless and affectionate, and is not affected by the magic of the demons."

Mu Xingqiu hummed.

"'Unintentional but affectionate', haha, it's quite interesting. What about me?" Xiao Hao turned around and asked Zuo Liuying. After waiting for a while, she showed an unconvinced look.

"You said I am heartless but heartless? Who said I am heartless? I have many feelings... You will know when I grow up and become friends with you."

The spell to imprint the Straw Hat was still in progress. Mu Xingqiu asked: "Why does Dao Tong want to kill us people just because we might be used by the demon species?"

Xiao Hao waited for a while, "No, Zuo Liuying said there is a more important reason, but this memory has been removed, but he will remember that you are the key to him regaining his memory."
