Exorcism

Time is like a skilled painter. He will not paint one part completely before painting the next. Instead, he will paint here and there. At first, you can’t even see what he is painting. Suddenly the outline appears, and slowly the details become richer. Get up until the end, both physically and spiritually.

Time will not depict aging on the human body all at once. Instead, today it will add a fine line at the corner of the eye, tomorrow it will make the corner of the mouth droop a little, and the day after tomorrow it will mark an inconspicuous spot on the skin... Aging also appears slowly, until The body can no longer resist.

In this way, Zuo Liuying's time is like a poor painter, violating the principle of dispersion and stealth, completely occupying the forehead, mouth, chin and two hands, but leaving out the eyes and part of the cheek.

He is really old, a few inches shorter, and his back is a bit hunched. His robe is a whole circle bigger, like a cloak wrapped casually around his body, and his wrinkles are like warts on his face, which will fall off at any time, revealing what's underneath. Smooth true face.

Because his eyes have not changed at all, they are still as clear and profound as before. To outsiders, they look cold, arrogant and mysterious. Affected by these eyes, a small piece of skin around them also resisted the attack of aging and maintained a ten-year life span. The smoothness of an eight-year-old—Zuo Liuying is unlikely to have the pimples common among young men.

As a result, Zuo Liuying's face showed a weird contrast, like an old guy wearing a youth eyepatch, or a young boy wearing an old-age helmet with only his eyes exposed.

Xiao Hao deliberately jumped back and forth between these two completely different impressions. The more she watched, the more interesting it became, and she couldn't help laughing.

The bald man floated next to Xiao Hao, staring blankly at Zuo Liuying at the feet of the demon. He had no idea what Xiao Hao was laughing at, "Is this really Zuo Liuying? It's even more fake than the fake one."

Indeed, this Zuo Liuying is even more unconvincing than Ishi-kun's fake one.

Sixty-one humans - Yang Qingyin and Xiao Qingtao also came from the spirit demon camp - formed a fan shape about a dozen steps in front of Zuo Liuying, feeling more or less suspicious in their hearts.

Mu Xingqiu was no exception. The Zuo Liuying he saw in the illusion was normal, but not like this. Moreover, he came out too early. Before Zuo Liuying vomited pills, he created a small inside the demon statue. Space, hide in it and practice again. Mu Xingqiu will send a little fresh air into it every day.

The method of re-annihilation will leave some scattered mana in the recipient's body, which is far from enough to cast a powerful spell. If Zuo Liuying wants to leave the golem without an exit, he can only resort to the spells of other high-level Taoist priests, or re-condensate it himself. Neidan.

"I refined another inner elixir."

Zuo Liuying spoke. He was no longer a Taoist priest. Naturally, he could no longer use others to speak. Most of the Taoist priests had never heard his real voice. However, none of them showed any surprise at this time. They remained silent. They felt Surprised at what he said.

It's only been a month since Tudan. Even if you practice day and night, the speed is too fast.

"There is no need to re-open the seven orifices, but you have to open the three fields again, especially to survive the heavenly tribulation." Zuo Liuying pointed to his head, the heavenly tribulation was the Tongniwan Palace.

This is indeed Zuo Liuying, who never explains much and goes straight to the point.

The Taoist priests' doubts gradually disappeared.

Zuo Liuying waved his hand. This was not a magic spell, but it still had the majesty of a spiritual Taoist priest. Everyone sat down cross-legged, less than a foot from the ground. The Taoist robes hung down, just covering that space, making them look like they were sitting On a thick futon.

Xiaohao also put away her smile.

The flea squeezed out of a snow cave. It had just had a good sleep, shook its body, walked slowly to Zuo Liuying, lowered its head and sniffed twice, and stood aside honestly to provide Zuo Liuying's identity. The most powerful proof.

Zuo Liuying slowly straightened his body. Although his face was strange, his expression was as firm as an iceberg that lasted ten thousand years, like a persistent preacher who was preparing to tell the truth to the first batch of believers.

This is what Mu Xingqiu thought, and the image of the first three ancestors of Taoism suddenly appeared in his mind.

He had never seen the appearance of the Third Patriarch, there were no portraits in the books, and he could never see clearly the image at the highest point of the Patriarch Tower, but a picture still appeared in his mind: three Taoist priests who were somewhat similar to Zuo Liuying, walking out He lived in seclusion, spreading the knowledge of Taoism to the enslaved humans at that time, and looking for disciples with Taoism roots everywhere...

"It is possible to rebuild the inner elixir, but it is slower than I expected because I took a short detour and tried to condense the elixir in the lower dantian. It turned out that it was wrong. After the elixir was spitted out, it was sealed, so I changed Condensing elixirs in Niwan Palace may be possible, but I haven't tried it..."

Zuo Liuying described in detail the process of his renewed practice, warning everyone which roads were blocked, which roads he had already traveled, and which roads might be feasible.

The more the Taoist priests listened, the more surprised they became, and gradually turned into admiration. Finally, all emotions disappeared. Everyone listened carefully to Zuo Liuying's words and began to think about how to practice again after spitting out elixirs.

The narration lasted for an hour, and no one felt that time had passed. They had set up restrictions in advance, and the monsters outside could not see what was going on here, and would not come in to disturb them.

Zuo Liuying finished speaking, which was more than all the words he had directly said to the lower Taoist priests in the past four hundred years combined, and then he asked everyone to ask questions.

Xin Youtao was the first to speak. His question was very simple, but it was something that everyone was very concerned about. "What is the state of your inner alchemy now?"

But the Taoist priests all exclaimed in amazement, a long "Hmm". It's only been a month, and Zuo Liuying's realm has surpassed some of them.

"I still want to practice with you." Xiao Hao said frustratedly. She is in the third level of breathing, the lowest realm among the crowd.

Meng Xu asked a question: "Do you think you can still reach the realm of infusing spirit? How long will it take?"

"I don't know." Zuo Liuying would not make assertions about things that have not happened yet, "but my goal is not just infusing spirit."

The same words from other people may be just youthful frivolity, but it is different for Zuo Liuying. The Taoist priests exclaimed again.

Zuo Liuying frowned slightly, obviously not liking this sound.

Xiao Qingtao cautiously asked the third question: "You are a Taoist born with Taoist roots and a Taoist genius. Can ordinary Taoist priests like us rebuild our inner elixir so quickly?"

Zuo Liuying stared at Xiao Qingtao, who retreated behind Yang Qingyin, but was pushed out by her.

"I don't even know if you can cultivate the inner elixir again." Zuo Liuying would never answer anyone in a tactful way. "I can teach you methods, show you the way, and remind you where the road is smooth and where it is dangerous, but unless you really want to take this road and can take a step voluntarily, otherwise what I say is nonsense." "I have confidence." Xiao Qingtao said hurriedly, thinking of her experience of condensing qi into elixir, she was still a little timid. Xin Youtao seized the opportunity to nod to Xiao Qingtao and then smiled encouragingly. The Gan brothers looked at each other, and the elder brother Gan Zhiquan asked: "What effect does the method of re-annihilation have on re-cultivation? Can our souls and bodies still be completely integrated?" This is a very important question. Zuo Liuying did not mention it before, and many people were afraid to ask about it, but when Gan Zhiquan brought it up, everyone still pricked up their ears. "The method of re-destruction will slow down the speed of cultivation." Zuo Liuying refused to comfort others with lies, "At least 20% to 30% of the 100% spiritual energy will be wasted. As for the fusion of body and soul, I have not yet achieved it, and I have not thought of a way. When you start to practice again, I will try some methods. It is estimated that the results will be known in a few years."

Everyone was silent for a while, and Xin Youtao smiled and said, "Fortunately, it's only 20% to 30%, the impact is not too big, right?"

Two or three percent is not a lot for Taoists. Converted into time, 20 to 30 years will be wasted in a hundred years. However, everyone has long expected that re-cultivation will definitely be difficult. Thinking about this, Xin Youtao's optimism is still reasonable.

Seeing that no one asked questions, Yang Qingyin spoke, "I am only concerned about one thing, whether the inner elixir re-cultivated can be completely cut off from the connection with the Taoist tradition, so that they will not say it is not possible and come to hunt us again."

The Taoists nodded one after another. This is indeed the most important thing. If the requirements of the Taoist tradition cannot be met, all sacrifices will be meaningless.

Zuo Liuying summoned his half ring, "I can't feel any power in it anymore."

Zuo Liuying let go, and the half ring fell into the snow, and it was no longer useful.

This was not a direct answer, and Zuo Liuying had to wait for the Taoist to give a conclusion, but everyone was relieved.

Mu Xingqiu also had a question, "Is the connection between the Taoist and the Taoist related to the human figure in the Niwan Palace?"

"It's hard to say, I will keep an eye on this matter."

Xiao Hao asked the last question: "Will you still be with me?"

She asked very seriously, and Zuo Liuying answered very seriously, "If necessary, I will."

The Taoists held back their laughter. Everyone knew that Zuo Liuying was a very rare Taoist who had never had a love disaster, and Xiao Hao's wish was probably in vain.

Xiao Hao nodded happily.

Zuo Liuying's eyes swept around and finally landed on Yang Qingyin, "There is one thing I want to remind you. Before you spit out the inner elixir and start practicing again, you must end all the existing Tao calamities except the sighing calamity, otherwise it will be very dangerous. The method of re-destruction can remove the evil thoughts, but it cannot overcome the Tao calamity." Yang Qingyin raised her eyebrows slightly, "Don't look at me, I don't have a Tao calamity, they are the two who have not overcome the emotional calamity." Xin Youtao and Xiao Qingtao both lowered their heads in embarrassment. Yang Qingyin glanced at Mu Xingqiu again and repeated, "I don't have a Tao calamity." Zuo Liuying did not argue, "Starting tomorrow, come and listen to my teachings every morning. Someone is waiting outside." Without waiting for the Taoists to express their gratitude, Zuo Liuying had already walked towards the snow cave where the fleas lived, and casually conjured a tent on the side. He was a seventh-level inhalation Taoist, and he was still as decisive as the infusion Taoist. The Taoists enthusiastically discussed the content of Zuo Liuying's teachings and put away the restrictions around them. Yu Wang Fadong came back from Baiyue Mountain and had been waiting outside for a while. He walked into the camp after the Taoist priests dispersed and came to Mu Xingqiu and said, "It's settled. The Wolf King is willing to meet the Taoist priest, but the location must be set at Baiyue Mountain. They dare not leave the cave." Xin Youtao had been following Mu Xingqiu. At this time, he gave him a meaningful look, and he smelled the smell of conspiracy again.
