Exorcism

Mu Xingqiu laughed so hard that his chest hurt but he still refused to shut up, "Return to the way you were before? Haha, why? Just to make Yang Qingyin happy, to make you please her? What does this have to do with me? Jin Cu, you Nothing like your father, the old bay horse's life is much simpler than yours.

Jin Cu stopped talking. He lifted Mu Xingqiu up with his left shoulder, grabbed one of Flea's horns with his right hand, and flew into the air towards Langyuan in the southeast. Both of them were restrained by Xiaoyao Suo, unable to resist.

The fire of the Hidden Dragon has not been extinguished. From a distance, it looks like a forest of red leaves in late autumn, which is in sharp contrast with the endless white snowfield around it.

Mu Xingqiu stopped laughing, "Jin Cu, do you know how childish your current behavior is?"

"I am a child."

"Ah, I forgot, you were born less than ten years ago, and your transformation into a demon gave you your current appearance. Since you are still a child, how could you fall in love with Yang Qingyin? That's an adult..."

Jin Cui stopped flying and asked angrily: "What are you talking about?"

"Am I talking nonsense? I just want to give you some advice. Yang Qingyin is the daughter of a Taoist sect. She has been favored since she was a child. No matter how much trouble she causes, she can always be forgiven. In the Taoism, which is ruthless and abandons desire, she can get such treatment. , but it’s very rare. Even now, it’s just a matter of words for her to return to Pangshan.”

"So what? What does this have to do with me?"

"It's so relevant. Since you want to please Yang Qingyin, you have to be familiar with her character. For example, she likes outstanding people who can be leaders. You can't always be as docile as a pony. You have to work hard. It is best to become the overlord of a party and rule hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers. Only then can you be worthy of her favor. Don't treat yourself as a child. Children need to be taken care of, so that is a privilege. If anyone must be a child, then. It’s also Yang Qingyin, not you.”

Mu Xingqiu vomited quickly, and the injuries on his body seemed to be getting better, but his hands and feet were tied up with Xiaoyao ropes, and he couldn't use all his strength.

The brocade clusters flew quickly, and Mu Xingqiu could feel the muscles on the spirit demon's shoulders becoming stiff.

"Yang Qingyin asked you to come to me just because she wanted to find someone to help her clean up the mess, so that when she decides to return to the Taoist tradition, she can be prosperous. So what's the use of taking me back? Little Ma'er, little Ma'er , this is your opportunity, you should take advantage of the situation, become the leader yourself, and become 'what I used to be', in this way..."

"That's enough!" Jin Cu shouted sternly, thrusting his left shoulder hard, throwing Mu Xingqiu away, and then reached out to grab his collar, "That's not the case at all..."

Before he finished speaking, the flea in Jin Cu's right hand suddenly picked it up hard and threw Jin Cu high into the sky. It turned out that it had been silently accumulating strength just for this sudden blow.

The brocade let go, and Mu Xingqiu and Flea plummeted to the ground. They were both tied up by the rope and unable to fly. Fortunately, it was not very far from the ground, only a few dozen feet, and the snow on the ground was deep enough to bear their weight.

Mu Xingqiu lay quietly in the snow. After a while, there was another muffled sound and the brocade fell down.

This time the fall was not particularly serious. Mu Xingqiu slowly crawled out of the snow pit. His feet were tied and he could only jump forward. After a few steps, he stopped and looked down at the brocade clusters in the snow. Feng Shui Turning around, the two people's positions were suddenly reversed.

Jin Cuo was injured. The flea's corner scratched his right rib, and the blood stained the white snow around him red.

"You can't please Yang Qingyin like this." Mu Xingqiu took a few steps forward and saw Qilin lying motionless under the snow, with only one big horn exposed.

"Insidious, stubborn beast, no wonder Zuo Liuying likes you the most." Mu Xingqiu tried to use the unicorn horn to cut off the happy rope on his wrist, but it was in vain. He bit his teeth again, trying to untie the simple knot. , still can’t do it.

"This is definitely not a rope made by Xiao Ma himself." Mu Xingqiu murmured. Xiaoyao ropes are made of Jintail horse hair as the main material, but their effectiveness is not constant. Ropes made by high-level Taoist priests will naturally be more durable. Be firmer.

Mu Xingqiu suspected Zuo Liuying again, or maybe Yang Qingyin. She couldn't make up such a good free rope herself, but if she could get it, she always had a lot of treasures, and ordinary Taoist priests might not be able to have one in their lifetime. Magical weapon, she can use it as a toy.

Looking around, there are snow-covered mountains and forests everywhere. The land of monsters is so vast that even if you walk for several days, you may not be able to see an animal, let alone monsters or humans, and Mu Xingqiu cannot walk at all. , when I think that I can only jump around from now on, the feeling of freedom is immediately reduced.

There are only two ways to untie the rope, either to be stronger than the rope weaver, or to have the rope tieer open it himself.

Mu Xingqiu looked back at the snow pit where the brocade had fallen into, and had no choice but to jump over again.

The flea also climbed up from the snow. Its four hooves were tied by the free rope, and it could only barely stand. It started to want to rush towards Mu Xingqiu, but found that it couldn't be done. It wanted to fly into the sky again, but ended up falling into the snow. The buttocks were raised high in a rather funny posture.

Mu Xingqiu laughed a few times and ignored it. He lowered his head and said to Jin Cui who had just opened his eyes: "Look at the good things you did. Qilin and I lost our freedom, but you were seriously injured and no one benefited. Principle I don’t want to help anyone anymore, but mutual benefit is different. You untie my free rope and I will help you heal. I also have a lot of Taoist elixirs. You don’t want to lie here all the time, do you?”

"Follow me back to see the Spirit King." Jin Cuo said stiffly, but his voice still clearly showed that he was exhausted. The horn is the most important weapon of Qilin, and as long as he is stabbed, it will not be a minor injury.

Mu Xingqiu suddenly admired the brocade. The spirit demon's stubbornness was somewhat similar to his temper when he was a child, but it was less flexible. No matter how hard he tried, Mu Xingqiu would not punch his father. If forced to do so, he knows how to escape and how to compromise first and then take revenge.

Mu Xingqiu stared at the face that was annoyingly similar to his own, and smiled even more cheerfully, "If you want me to go back with you to see Yang Qingyin, you have to think about a question first. Why should I agree? Because you look so good." Like my twin brother? Because you are the son of a bay horse?"

"Because Spirit King, you have been misunderstanding her all this time..."

Mu Xingqiu shook his head, "Have you ever heard of the four words "Daofa is boundless?" The most powerful ability of Daofa is to make you respect Taoism, be loyal to Taoism, and be obsessed with inner alchemy. As for making you like another person, it is even more important. No problem. Do you want to say that Yang Qingyin has always liked me? Ha, she likes the me that Daotong created, not the real me now, but you let me go back and change me back to the way I used to be. What if I can't change back? Will I be her prisoner and prisoner from now on? In that case, she will hate you to death."

"You really don't want to see the Spirit King again?" A trace of confusion appeared on Jin Cu's face.

Mu Xingqiu straightened his expression, "You think I have forgotten what happened in the past, right? In fact, I remember everything clearly. I just--don't care anymore. Just like you spirit monsters, you also remember your beast form. But you don’t want to go back to being a beast, and I don’t want to go back to the past.”

The confusion on Jin Cu's face gradually disappeared, returning to his usual coldness, "You have let down all those who trusted you."

"But it makes me happy." Mu Xingqiu smiled again and stretched out his bound arms, "Untie me, little horse, not to help me, but to help yourself."

"Since you are no longer the Mu Xingqiu you were before, why should I believe your words?"

In the past, Mu Xingqiu would not even suspect his enemies if he made a promise, but now Mu Xingqiu only thinks about himself, so naturally he cannot gain the trust of others.

"First untie the rope on my wrist, I will give you the elixir, and then you can untie the rope on my feet. That's all right."

"Feet, let me untie the rope around your ankle first." Jin Cu said.

Mu Xingqiu curled his lips, thinking that it made no difference, so he sat on the snow and stretched his feet in front of the brocade.

Behind him, Flea was still struggling, making snow pits on the ground.

Jin Cu raised his left arm and struggled to untie the uncomplicated knot. The Xiaoyao rope fell on him and automatically got into his arms like a docile little snake.

Mu Xingqiu's feet finally regained freedom. He jumped up and walked back and forth a few steps. Looking at the stumbling Qilin, he felt even better. However, he could not cast spells at will yet, so he had to open the treasure bag at his waist with both hands. , put a few fingers in and slowly explore.

"Open your mouth." Mu Xingqiu took out a small porcelain bottle and poured out a pill.

Jin Cu opened her mouth and swallowed the pill, her face gradually turned red. After a while, she slowly sat up, tore open her single clothes, turned to look at the wound on her right rib, grabbed a handful of snow, and wiped it hard a few times. The blood was gone. , the thin scars are still there.

He stood up, climbed out of the snow pit, glanced at Qilin who had hurt him, snorted softly, and instead of taking revenge, turned around and untied the Xiaoyao rope from Mu Xingqiu's wrist.

With the power back in his body, Mu Xingqiu took a deep breath and felt extremely happy again, "Who gave you the happy rope? The power is not small."

Jin Cu hesitated for a while before answering, "My mother, when she first transformed into a demon, she made up a few free ropes, but later... she couldn't get through them."

The spiritual beasts suffered heavy casualties when they turned into demons, and only a handful of them could survive to the end.

Mu Xingqiu was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the rope spun by a spirit demon could trap him. However, he didn't say anything and turned around to leave. Suddenly he remembered something and took out an orb from his arms, " Give it back to Zuo Liuying, it's his."

This is the concentration orb that Zuo Liuying used to record Mu Xingqiu's transformation into a demon. It is no longer needed now.

Jin Cu didn't answer, "I'm not here to find you for Zuo Liuying."

Mu Xingqiu laughed it off and threw the orb into the snow. Feeling something was wrong, he reached out to fumble around in his arms and pulled out something unexpected - a glowing crystal eye.
