Exorcism

People who accepted the method of re-annihilation for the second time would not wake up until a few days later. Mu Xingqiu found the traitor and dealt with it, but the situation did not improve much.

Noon has passed, and before dark, the poisonous fog will fill the entire Ice City and Wolf Plains, and then the huge hidden dragon will wake up. No matter how powerful this ancient beast is, it is not a group of Taoist priests and monsters who are difficult to cast spells. The clan can handle it.

Zuo Liuying's whereabouts are still unknown, and it is impossible for Meng Xu to know too much inside information. She should not be the only one in the entire team who is under the control of Lord Yishi.

"I need a safe place to cast spells." Mu Xingqiu said.

"Follow me." Pei Zihan walked in front, Mu Xingqiu and Bald Man followed behind, leaving Meng Xu to stay where he was.

There are ruins everywhere in Ice City, and the bricks and tiles made of ashes are still white even if they have been burned by demonic fire.

Pei Zihan was familiar with the path, but it was a bit difficult to walk. From time to time, he had to hold his knees to catch his breath. "Everyone doesn't have much confidence in facing Bingkui, so they don't pay much attention to rebuilding the ice city."

The Bingkui will be killed within a few months, and the Ice City may be eradicated by then. No one is willing to rebuild a meaningless city under such circumstances.

"Then don't worry, wait until you defeat Bing Kui."

"Hey, you're the only one who dares to say such things." There was a hint of sarcasm in Pei Zihan's voice, "Do you have any idea?"

"not yet."

Pei Zihan didn't ask any further. He came to a collapsed house, pushed aside the wood and rubble, opened a door on the ground, and took the lead into the hole.

The hole was not deep, and it soon ended in a small room with some food piled in the corner. It was filled with the smell of wet soil and slight decay, and it looked like a storage room.

"There are many places like this in Ice City, and there are even more hidden ones, but I only know this one."

"It's nice here."

"I'll wait for you outside." Pei Zihan bent down and walked up the steps, walking heavily as if he was dragging a bag weighing hundreds of kilograms.

The bald man immediately flew to the entrance and nodded to Mu Xingqiu, indicating that he would never let anyone in.

Mu Diqiu sat on the ground, took out the crystal eye, and stared at it for a while. Meng Xu's crystal eyes obviously came from Yin Buchen. Mu Xingqiu was not surprised by this. Yin Buchen was the demon servant of Lord Yishi and did not dare to resist his will. However, his power was too weak to do things for his master. I can only pass on the demon elixir.

At the city gate before, Yin Buchen's fear was genuine.

But why was Meng Xu chosen? Mr. Yishi met her once and ate the snow-covered flowers that she had worked so hard to dig out. After that, Meng Xu was fine. After returning to the camp, he told the whole story. It was because of her reminder that the Taoist priests were able to prepare for Mr. Yishi's sneak attack in advance. .

But Yishi Jun still believed that Meng Xu would betray him, and Mu Xingqiu didn't know whether to admire Yishi Jun's vision or sorcery.

The crystal eyes were the medium through which Lord Yishi communicated with Yin Buchen and Meng Xu. Mu Xingqiu was convinced of this. He also had several crystal eyes in his treasure bag, and he took them out and placed them in a row on the ground.

Ishi-kun is a soul demon, so you can only use illusions to deal with him.

There was not much poisonous mist in the underground storage room. Mu Xingqiu held the skull lantern in his hand and could cast spells normally. He cast the seventh-level Wuxu Illusion Technique on Meng Xu's crystal eye.

The crystal eyes shone like stars. Mu Xingqiu felt that the illusion had caught something, but he didn't pull out anything. Instead, he fell into a dark hole. Not long after, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he entered In a room paved with demon bones, the demon eyes in the bones are emitting intense light.

This is the inside of the Crystal Eye. It is exactly the same as the room in Ishi-kun's deepest memory, except that the people standing in it are different.

There is actually a Taoist priest in the crystal eyes!

The Taoist priest is in his thirties, with a resolute square face like a brick. Three long strands of beard hang down on his chest, like a small three-stranded fork. The hairpin on his bun is quite special. The head of the hairpin is in the shape of a flame. .

This is a Taoist priest from Mount Wandi.

Mu Xingqiu thought he could track the crows in his Niwan Palace through his crystal eyes, but he couldn't help but be startled when he saw the Taoist priest.

The crystal eyes did not grow on Meng Xu, so he could not feel what she saw and heard. Mu Xingqiu felt more confident and took three steps forward. He now looked like Meng Xu and had her voice.

"Mu Xingqiu is trapped in the Ice City. There is no one else around me." Mu Xingqiu briefly told the story. Pei Zihan was not in the story, and Meng Xu won in the end.

"You did a good job, but you don't need to come in and tell me specifically. When it gets dark, the poisonous mist turns into hidden dragon fire, and Mu Xingqiu's three fields are shattered, I will be able to escape from the prison. I will make my promise to you then. reward.”

Mu Xingqiu imitated Meng Xu's timid voice, "I know you will keep your word. I just want to confirm that the demon pill can give me the lifespan of a Taoist priest who swallows smoke, right?"

"I have lived for more than three thousand years, which is longer than the life span of a Taoist priest. Why don't you believe it?"

Mu Xingqiu let a smile appear on his face. He noticed that the Taoist priest frowned slightly. He knew that this was not the expression Meng Xu should have. He quickly put away his smile and said, "I want to know more about my hiding place."

This question is a bit risky. If the Taoist priest has told Meng Xu everything, Mu Xingqiu's question is an obvious loophole.

He guessed correctly. The Taoist priest did not tell Meng Xu the truth, "Don't worry, I can make the Taoist ignore me and cannot find me. Naturally, I can also keep you away from the pursuit of the Taoist and the demons. You will be very safe."

The first two questions were just tests. Mu Xingqiu asked in a worried tone: "Zuo Liuying will not come back. With him here, the Taoist priests will condense into a whole, which will be dangerous for me."

"You must believe me." The Taoist priest's tone became stern.

"Yes." Mu Xingqiu acted frightened, took two steps back, and prepared to leave the crystal eye, and then used the seventh level of telepathy illusion.

The room in the crystal eye is also an illusion, and only illusions can be used freely.

The Taoist priest was caught off guard, and as soon as a trace of surprise appeared on his face, he was already firmly grasped by Mu Xingqiu's illusion. He was just a single soul and could not possess all the abilities of Lord Yishi.

Mu Xingqiu enters the Taoist priest's memory.

This is really a Taoist priest from Mount Wandi, who has reached the sixth level of smoke swallowing. His whole life is in his memory, but he has no name.

He died in a Tao-demon war 1,100 years ago. The war was quite large-scale. The demon king at that time was more powerful than Qi Wushang, but without the help of the demon species, his defeat was even more tragic.

The Taoist priest died on the battlefield, but his soul was secretly taken away by Lord Yishi. He persisted for nine hundred years, and was finally convinced to become part of the demon of souls, which meant losing himself and thinking of himself as Lord Yishi.

Then he received or chose a task to perfect a series of sorcery using the knowledge of Taoism. In order not to be disturbed and affected by other souls, he entered the illusion of crystal eyes and stayed there for more than two hundred years.

He also has a more important task, which is to do everything possible to save Lord Yishi, that is, himself when necessary - once the original soul dies, all souls will be scattered, and he must ensure the safety of the crow.

When Mu Xingqiu exited the crystal eye, the Taoist soul had not yet awakened, and he had already gotten most of the answers he wanted.

He looked at the row of crystal eyes in front of him and guessed some real situations: Niwan Palace and Yishi Jun in the Golem were still tightly trapped, Zuo Liuying's spell had not failed, and he was planning a conspiracy and convincing Meng Xu. It is the soul of the Taoist priest in the crystal eyes.

There are a total of thirteen crystal eyes, and each one contains at least one soul. This is Ishi-kun's secret room and his cunning rabbit's den.

You can find Mr. Ishi by gathering all thirteen crystal eyes, because these souls together are enough to cause the response of Mr. Ishi's soul.

Most of the crystal eyes are in Mu Xingqiu's treasure bag and can't see anything. There is no way to know about Yishi Jun's imprisonment, but Yin Buchen's two eyes can see everything. He is in the golem. While crying at his feet, the Taoist spirit had probably figured everything out and made a complete plan.

There are still two doubts that Mu Xingqiu has not clarified:

How was Meng Xu selected? Maybe it had something to do with the meeting when collecting herbs, but Mu Xingqiu didn't dare to confirm.

How did Wolf King Qi Yemang get in touch with Lord Yishi? He had already obtained the secret to awaken the Qianlong when he returned to Wolf Plains ten days ago, indicating that Lord Yishi's self-rescue plan had already begun.

In addition to Mu Xingqiu, there are two other people who have crystal eyes, one is Yin Buchen and the other is Dragon Demon. For the time being, Mu Xingqiu assumed that the dragon demon would not harm him, then the key to everything was Yin Buchen.

The situation still hasn't improved much, but it's no longer as confusing as it was at the beginning.

Mu Xingqiu stood up, put away all the crystal eyes, and said to the bald man: "Let's go to the Moon Worship Mountain."

Baldy jumped up excitedly and flew out first.

Pei Zihan couldn't go to Moon Worship Mountain with Mu Xingqiu. He only had one question: "What are you going to do with that female Taoist priest?"

"If you still have some strength, send her into this secret room and wait until I find out the whole truth."

"Do you know what your biggest problem is?" Pei Zihan's eyes were sunken, but his gaze was very sharp. That was the look he only dared to show after he defected to the demon clan. "As a leader, you are not ruthless enough. This will You will suffer a big loss."

Mu Xingqiu smiled, "Maybe it's because I don't want to be the leader at all, I just...have to do some things."

Pei Zihan sighed softly, which seemed like regret and appreciation, "I would not say such things to a leader. Since you are not, then I ask you one thing. Help me protect my little one no matter what." Qingtao, she is the only living person in Furong Mountain. I have made countless mistakes. If she dies, I will make the same mistakes. "

Mu Xingqiu nodded and flew into the sky with Bald Man. He noticed that Pei Zihan started to call him "human" instead of "demon" again.

The poisonous fog was spreading, and the dark clouds were hanging low. Shortly after noon, Bingcheng and Langyuan were already as dark as night.

Mu Xingqiu held the skull lantern and flew quickly towards the Moon Worship Mountain, hoping that everything would be done in time and that he could successfully find Yin Buchen and his crystal eye.

More than half an hour later, Mu Xingqiu flew to Baiyue Mountain and saw groups of demon soldiers digging around in the mountain from a distance. They had been fighting for a while, but they couldn't even find the entrance to the Wolf Cave.

On a mountain peak, several Taoist priests and demon tribesmen were directing the actions of everyone and the demon soldiers. Yang Qingyin was in the highest position, holding Lao Jun's magic palm high in his hand.

The five fingers of the devil's palm were spread out. The darker the sky, the brighter it became, like a torch that would never go out.

It was at this moment that Mu Xingqiu suddenly realized that the treasures that Mr. Yishi had "arbitrarily" thrown away were not just the thirteen crystal eyes, and it was probably not just Yin Buchen who was being controlled and single-mindedly trying to save Mr. Yishi.
