Exorcism

Mu Feihuang's confession touched Xiaoqiu far beyond his imagination. The next day, Xiaoqiu first found Shen Hao and Daliang Shen Xiuming, and persuaded them to concentrate on practice and not to participate in his summit plan. , “You have just achieved some success in your practice, so you should stick to it and don’t delay for any reason.

Such words made the two good friends deeply surprised, but they couldn't say they disagreed. Daliang opened his mouth and said uncertainly: "It won't take long, your strength has recovered, can't you climb up today?"

Shen Hao thought more, "Did you hear any rumors?"

Xiao Qiu shook his head. After talking to Mu Feihuang last night, he realized for the first time that he was too selfish. He just wanted to pull his friends forward together, but ignored everyone's true wishes. Not everyone All can accept the art of defying heaven. In fact, the vast majority of people prefer the art of obeying heaven. On the latter path, there will be more companions and more guidance and protection.

Meng Yuanhou was lonely among the sects, and Xiaoqiu thought that she should be the same.

"I fell off the mountain yesterday not just because of fatigue. I don't know why. Yangshen Peak is not blocked by magic, but it is more difficult to climb than Laozu Peak. I have to find the reason first and find a solution. It may take a long time. You guys No need to accompany me."

"A long time?" Daliang disagreed, "It's not necessary. Don't you just want to know the results of your practice? You can... ask Lin Dujiao, he will definitely be willing to check it for you."

"Checking the practice may involve using mind control techniques. I don't want anything more to enter my heart."

Both Shen Hao and Daliang remembered Xiaoqiu saying this, and Daliang came up with another idea: "Brother Xiaoqiu, you can wait until the end of the month. You have learned how to think about it. The Liuguang Baojian will definitely be able to remember the ancestors on the next day." Make an appraisal for you.”

Xiaoqiu lowered his head and thought for a while, and when he looked up again, his eyes had become firm, "In my mind, those are two things. Now that you have the goal of reaching the top, you shouldn't give up casually. Meng Du teaches a century-old thought However, I hope that when he comes out, he can still see a disciple learning his 'Heaven-defying Technique'.

"You don't owe him anything." Shen Hao was puzzled.

"Yes. Besides, Meng Dujiao is not here, and you don't even know what the art of defying the heavens is - does climbing a mountain mean defying the heavens?" Daliang was even more puzzled.

Xiaoqiu found it difficult to explain. Indeed, without Meng Yuanhou, he only had a vague concept of the heaven-defying technique and could not find a specific practice method, but he knew one thing, if he practiced according to the heaven-defying method, he would soon forget Meng Yuan Hou's teachings; he even couldn't explain to his two friends that in Siguo Cave, he had received guidance and help from Mengdujiao from beginning to end. Even if it was really just a dream, the two of them already had masters and disciples. camaraderie.

"Let me try it alone," he said, a little pleadingly. "I won't even be able to sleep if I don't finish it."

Shen Hao and Daliang looked at each other and saw worry and doubt in each other's eyes. Such persistence was not a good sign.

In order to reassure her friend, Xiaoqiu made a promise, "Even if I can't get out of Yangshen Peak after climbing to the top, I won't bother anymore and will focus on my practice."

It would be easy to convince these two people that Xiaoqiu would face the other friends in Yelin Town. They were already eager to return to their usual practice path. Mu Feihuang, the fool, stood at the back, always very nervous, seeing Xiao Qiu In the end, Qiu didn't talk about the leak, and he breathed a sigh of relief and looked grateful.

Only Fangfang had a different attitude. After listening to Xiaoqiu's suggestion, she did not agree and just said lightly: "I have my own practice method.

I will choose whether to go against or to follow, so you don’t have to worry about it. "

Then she suddenly became serious, "Yesterday you pretended to recite a spell to deceive Zhou Ping, which exposed his flaw. If he is not fooled, what are you going to do? Give up or get beaten?"

Xiaoqiu scratched his head, not expecting that Fangfang would blame him for this incident, "For things like fighting...it's hard to think too carefully in advance.

In the evening of that day, no young people from Yelin Town came to see Xiaoqiu climb the mountain, and the number of other disciples also decreased significantly. Everyone had the same idea: everyone in the same town was concentrating on practicing, so why should I waste time?

The more than ten spectators were all retained disciples. Xiaoqiu thought they were here to watch a joke at first, but they actually climbed the mountain with him. After climbing twenty or thirty feet, a disciple closest to Xiaoqiu said: "Mengdu The teacher once taught me, and I was really impressed. If he were still here, he would definitely support you in climbing Yangshen Peak. He likes to let his disciples challenge all impossible things."

"Thank you." Xiaoqiu said, glad that there were disciples who remembered Meng Yuanhou like him.

The disciple nodded politely, "But I'm going down. Heaven-defying techniques are not suitable for me, but I hope you can succeed. Really, Yangshen Peak is like a pool of stagnant water. Meng Dujiao once tried his best to disturb it. If he is not here, then It's up to you." After saying that, he dragged the vine down the mountain and quickly disappeared into the night at the foot of the mountain.

Xiaoqiu continued to climb up. After about a hundred feet, he began to feel difficulty breathing and soreness in his hands and feet. This was also a strange thing. Laozu Peak was higher, and Xiaoqiu had never been so tired even climbing eight thousand steps.

The voice of another retained disciple came from a distance: "The air is getting thinner and thinner. Yangshen Peak is not for ordinary disciples to climb up. Let's go down."

Xiaoqiu insisted on climbing a few more feet, but that was all. He could fight against the fatigue of his body, but he could not cope with the less and less air, so he had to go down the mountain.

Xiaoqiu did not give up. From then on, he practiced normally during the day and would always try it out after dinner. At first, some of his remaining disciples climbed with him, and occasionally curious people came to watch. After five days, only Xiaoqiu was left. .

A person climbs a mountain, comes down alone, and then looks up alone, always at a height of more than a hundred feet. No matter how difficult it is to move forward, Xiaoqiu knows that there must be some way to overcome the thin air. During a morning concentration class , Xiaoqiu asked Dujiao for help.

"Lin Dujiao, can you help me check my practice?" Xiaoqiu would rather accept the influence of mind control. He wants to know whether he has the strength.

Lin Sa smiled and shook his head, "Unless you get the permission of the master or the leader, you can't inspect the disciples' practice casually. Just wait, you will know the next Ancestor Remembrance Day, and Liuguang Baojian will not be silent again. ”

Although he didn't get specific help, Xiaoqiu remembered a sentence. He started to "storage air" as much as possible. Sure enough, he climbed higher, but he could only advance to more than 200 feet. He had to leave some air to go down the mountain, otherwise If you do, you will faint and fall directly to the ground.

More than twenty days later, Xiaoqiu still failed to make any further progress. He was no longer the focus of the disciples' attention. Everyone had become accustomed to his weird behavior. Those who were disdainful claimed that Mu Xingqiu showed signs of being possessed. More Others ignore his mountain climbing with a nonchalant attitude.

In the last few days of this year, there was another incident that stirred up the entire Yangshen Peak. It had a greater impact than anything Xiaoqiu had done so far - the other new disciples of the Eight Great Traditions were coming to commemorate their ancestors and confirm their inheritance.

The retained disciple has experience, and he rarely talks about it, "Every January, the new disciples of the Eight Great Traditions take turns coming to Pangshan to worship their ancestors. They only stay for three days. They are not restricted by Yangshen Peak and can leave at any time, so You should seize the opportunity, make more friends, and remember to keep your eyes open, otherwise you will regret it.”

Some people understood and laughed, while the younger disciples were puzzled, "We are also Taoist disciples, what is there to see?"

The older retained disciple showed a smile that he had never seen before and refused to answer in public. Soon, the answer spread through various rumors: Luanjing Mountain in the Nine Dao Tradition has always only accepted female disciples. And the requirements for appearance are extremely high.

"It will definitely dazzle you." This is the same conclusion of all rumors.

Not all disciples are interested in this. When Xiaoqiu heard about Luanjing Mountain, he first thought of Granny Feng. He found Fangfang and said, "Grandma Feng is a disciple of Luanjing Mountain. I heard it from the master on the Ancestor Peak."

"Grandma Feng, it's a pity that she won't come." Fangfang misses that short, fat old woman very much. She still collects her autographed letters. They were originally written to acquaintances in Xijie City, but Fangfang and Xiaoqiu Didn't go as planned.

"If I really want to see Granny Feng, I would like to ask her. She is obviously a Taoist priest and has lived in Yelin Town for many years. Why doesn't she warn everyone before the demon species arrives?" Xiao Qiu groaned angrily. To be honest, he was actually very grateful to Granny Feng, but the recent slow progress in climbing the mountain made him feel bad.

The rumors about Luanjing Mountain became more and more popular, and there were even several disputes between male and female disciples. Finally, in a certain class, Lin Dujiao had to take some time to concentrate on thinking and issued a reminder to his disciples: " The rumors this year are too much, especially for the retained disciples. You are not in your first year at Yangshen Peak, so you should know the rules. Instead, you are fueling the rumors, which really disappoints me."

Lin Sa was the most amiable of all the disciples. He occasionally became harsh, and the effect was very obvious. Many male disciples turned red in the face and did not dare to look directly at him.

"I'm not qualified to make irresponsible remarks about other Taoist traditions." Lin Sa's tone already had a hint of judgment, "But I want to remind you that Luanjing Mountain's practice methods are completely different from other Taoist traditions. Since you are disciples of Pangshan , don’t be half-hearted, it’s best to keep your distance from the guests.”

Probably feeling that these words were not clear enough, Lin Sa added another sentence, "The further away, the better. You are still children, and you are far from the time to come into contact with mortal and Taoist fate."

Without the last sentence, Lin Dujiao's reminder would have been more effective. As a result, during lunch that day, the new disciples were all asking about what "mundane fate" and "Tao fate" were.

Xiaoqiu was another exception. He was thinking about another thing while eating: Is there any connection between Luanjing Mountain, which only accepts female disciples, and the discontinued lineage, which only has twenty-nine female Taoist priests?
