Exorcism

"Did you hear that?" Xin Youtao looked at Xiao Qingtao next to him in astonishment. He opened his arms and held at least seven paper charms in his hands.

Xiao Qingtao nodded, she heard it, and she also knew why Xin Youtao asked this question, because the sound was so strange that she couldn't find the right words to describe her feelings.

The sixty-odd Taoist priests in the air all stopped flying, as if they were frozen. The snow pillars and shadows below disappeared, but they were not sure that the danger had passed, and they were also confused by the sound just now.

"It seems... it seems like something has pierced into my brain, buzz... it's not right, ding... it's not right either." Xin Youtao couldn't find an accurate adjective.

"The sound seemed to have taken something away from my body, but I didn't feel any pain at all." Meng Xu used his free left hand to touch his face and body a few times, trying to make sure he was still intact.

"My inner alchemy seemed to have stopped for a moment."

"I seemed to lose my will for a moment."

…

Almost every Taoist priest has a strange feeling, but they can only describe it as "like". The sound went away so fast. If there were no other witnesses, the listener would think that he had experienced a brief hallucination.

Finally, Xiaohao’s description was recognized by everyone, “Once when I was a child, I just woke up from a deep sleep. Before my eyes were fully opened, something suddenly jumped out from under my feet. I was so scared that I woke up immediately and my heart stopped beating. My nostrils stopped breathing, and blood surged all over my body. It turned out that it was my stupid dog. Then I suddenly became lightheaded, and the feeling was a bit similar to now. The only difference is that I was not so scared. "

Everyone nodded, it was a feeling similar to this, thrilling, but it disappeared too quickly, so it is difficult to describe, but some people's pores are still open.

The Taoist priests looked down. Mu Xingqiu was still standing there motionless. The snow on the ground looked like plowed farmland. Other than that, there was nothing unusual. Such a powerful force did not leave much on the snow. Mark of.

"Should we go down and help?" Xin Youtao is Mu Xingqiu's good friend, but he is a little unsure now.

Gan Zhiwei waved his hand, saying there was no need to worry.

At this moment, his brother Gan Zhiquan woke up, broke away from his brother's arms, and almost fell. He immediately summoned the phantom of the magic sword to support his feet.

Gan Zhiquan fainted in the snow cave and knew nothing about what happened in the past period of time, but he did not show any particular surprise. He turned around in the air and looked to the northwest.

"The demons are over there." Gan Zhiquan pointed to the northwest with a calm voice, as if he was already used to the demons.

"Demons?" Gan Zhiwei began to worry about his brother, "No, brother, we just defeated Tao Tong's spell. It was Mu Xingqiu, and he saved us again."

Gan Zhiquan lowered his head to look at Mu Xingqiu, and suddenly flew downwards rapidly. The other Taoist priests waited for a while, and then began to descend under the leadership of Gan Zhiwei.

Mu Xingqiu also heard some strange sounds, but he was busy recovering Meng Yuanhou's soul. The moment the twelve snow pillars were destroyed, the jade ax turned into powder and disappeared into the air. The three lamps and candles that protected the soul were also extinguished, losing all their spells, turning into ordinary objects and falling to the ground.

Mu Xingqiu immediately summoned a new jade ax and two lamps and two candles to retrieve the soul that was close at hand. Then he put away several magic weapons and reached out to pick off the straw hat on the bald man's head.

The bald man was still half-conscious, his eyes were glazed over and he was slowly turning in circles. As soon as Mu Xingqiu took off his straw hat, he regained consciousness and looked at Mu Xingqiu blankly, "There is a sound."

"Well, I heard it too, a very strange sound, like a sharp whistle."

"No, no, it's not a whistle, he's talking to me."

"Who? Zuo Liuying?"

The bald man shook his head, looking very confused, "I forgot, it seemed to be a man's voice. Please listen to it for me. I can't remember what he said to me."

Mu Xingqiu harvested the straw hat and used the illusion technique on the bald man. A person's memories will not disappear completely. They are just hidden, hiding in the most hidden corner of the heart, or mixed with other memories. Even oneself cannot distinguish them clearly, but the magic can pick out one memory from the chaos. Memories piece by piece, wipe them clean.

Baldy's memory had just emerged, and the reason why he couldn't recall the specific content was because he was not fully awake at the time.

It's very easy to enter Baldy's mind using illusions. He is not a very wary person to begin with, and he is never on guard against Brother Xiaoqiu. Mu Xingqiu took out all the vague memories of Baldy in the past quarter of an hour, and then identified them.

This is what Mu Xingqiu was doing when the Taoist priests high in the sky saw him motionless.

The voice that sounded in Baldy's mind was definitely not Zuo Liuying. It was as cold as ice and snow and as tough as metal. He spoke in several languages, the last of which was human language:

"Your master has woken up. Slaves, come and pay your respects."

The other Taoist priests came down and stood in several circles around Mu Xingqiu. They all looked at him with strange eyes, awe, doubt, dependence, and even some jealousy. In their eyes, Mu Xingqiu had changed. , no longer an "outsider", no longer an overseer with the power to kill them, but a leader, guide and protector.

He is the only hope for the evil Taoist priests.

Mu Xingqiu sent clear memories back to Baldy's mind, and said to everyone: "We must continue to move northwest, and the speed must be fast. Dao Tong may continue to launch attacks."

"There are demons in the northwest." Gan Zhiquan said, his tone a little firmer than before.

Gan Zhiquan's words were too abrupt, and Gan Zhiwei hurriedly explained: "My brother heard some noises when he was unconscious."

"Just now, that sound woke me up." Gan Zhiquan glanced around and couldn't figure out how everyone could move from the snow cave to such a place, but he did not ask, but continued to talk about the sound he heard. , "He calls himself the general of the demon clan, calls me a slave, and orders me to join him before noon tomorrow, otherwise I will be punished."

The Taoist priests were all surprised that such a detailed request came from a "Demon General". It would be fine if these words came from someone else, but Gan Zhiquan never talked nonsense, let alone made up lies.

"Can you understand the magic text?" Mu Xingqiu was not particularly surprised. The words Gan Zhiquan heard were obviously similar to those of Bald Man, but with more content. It was obvious that he could understand those strange languages.

Gan Zhiquan shook his head, "That voice did say a few words that I couldn't understand. It might be magic script. He also used three demon languages ​​and human languages. I learned them when I was on a mission in the land of demons. Some."

Gan Zhiquan is a disciple of Five Elements. He often goes deep into the places where monsters gather and understands their language, so he understands more than Mu Xingqiu and Bald Zi.

"Bald Man also heard it." Mu Xingqiu looked to the northwest, but his third eye could only see the scenery fifty or sixty miles away, and anything further away was gray.

The Taoist priests all groaned. They thought Gan Zhiquan was hallucinating, but they didn't expect it to be true.

"The demons have returned?" Meng Xu's voice trembled, "How come it's so fast?"

Mu Xingqiu was more concerned about another question, "It's really strange, why are you two the only ones hearing the conversation?"

Neither Gan Zhiquan nor Bald Zi could answer. The only difference between them was that they were both unconscious at the time.

"Everyone has heard it." Xiao Hao suddenly said, turning his eyes to the northwest a few miles away. Zuo Liuying was floating in the air, his back to everyone, looking into the distance. No one knew when he came or from which direction. of.

"Zuo Liuying said that everyone heard the sound. Most people's thoughts turned too fast, so they couldn't hear the content clearly. Taoist Gan and Bald Man were in a coma, but they were able to slow down their voices and hear what he was saying clearly. What."

A doubt in everyone's mind was solved, especially Gan Zhiwei. He was really worried that his brother could hear the voice of the demons because of "special reasons", which was not a good thing.

Next, more doubts arose.

Mu Xingqiu took the lead and flew in front of Zuo Liuying, looked into his eyes and said, "Is it the spirit demon?"

The northwest is the direction where Yang Qingyin and the spirit demon are.

Zuo Liuying remained calm, Xiao Hao still answered on his behalf, but Mu Xingqiu's eyes never left Zuo Liuying.

"Are they really demons?" Meng Xu asked again, feeling that this was the most important question.

"Zuo Liuying said he was going to find out."

"Wait a minute." Mu Xingqiu couldn't let Zuo Liuying leave just like that, "You haven't told us where you have been, and what charges did the orthodoxy accuse us of?"

Zuo Liuying withdrew his gaze and looked at Mu Xingqiu. After a while, he used the teleportation technique and disappeared out of thin air.

Mu Xingqiu had no choice but to turn to Xiao Hao. Xiao Hao hummed a few times, raised his head and said to everyone with a smile: "The Taoists said that we have turned into demons. It was Mu Xingqiu who turned into demons. The evidence has just been obtained. It's someone else. The evidence has long been in Daotong's hands."

"We didn't transform into demons at all!" Several Taoist priests said angrily, especially those who had not been hit by Lan Bingqu's magic. They were even more shocked. "What evidence does Taoism have in hand?"

"I don't know, Zuo Liuying doesn't seem to know either. He reminded everyone not to go to the Taoist priests. Now all the Taoist priests believe that we have turned into demons and will be ruthless when we meet." Xiao Hao made a slashing motion. She didn't care at all about it.

The Taoist priests were stunned. Even if the high-level Taoist priests wanted to secretly eliminate the hidden danger of being possessed by demons, all the Taoist priests actually believed that they had transformed into demons, and there was evidence. This was a bit unbelievable.

"Xiao Qingtao and I..." As soon as Xin Youtao finished speaking, Xiao Hao nodded and replied: "The three of us have also turned into demons. We can't go back to Daotong even if we want to."

Xin Youtao let out a soft sigh and his face turned paler. Xiao Qingtao exhaled instead, finally letting go of a worry and no longer worrying about gains and losses.

"What evidence is it?" Xin Youtao asked, knowing that he would not get the answer.

Xiao Hao continued: "Zuo Liuying said that the Tongtong will still attack us, but the demons in the northwest can attract them for a while, so we'd better go to Ice City and hide immediately. That's all, he didn't say anything else."

Zuo Liuying still didn't mention a word about where he just went.

Mu Xingqiu rose a few feet and said to everyone: "I want to find the spirit demon and see if there are really demons over there. You can go with me. You will probably encounter more dangers. You can also go to Bingcheng now. I will give you a token and Bingcheng will accept you. It is safe there for the time being, at least it is safer than following me."

"I'll go with you." Seven or eight people said almost at the same time, including the pale Xin Youtao and Meng Xu, who was terrified of the demons.

"Follow you." More Taoist priests said.

Mu Xingqiu glanced around, and all he saw was determination and a common hatred. He recognized this expression. It was the trust of the soldiers in the general on the battlefield.
