Exorcism

Zuo Liuying's latest retreat actually failed. He broke through the realm of inhalation and advanced to the first level of Dinxia. For ordinary Taoist priests, this is an unimaginable and rapid progress, but Zuo Liuying is not satisfied at all. He thinks that this The speed is unacceptable.

So he ended the retreat early because he knew that if he continued to practice like this, he would become a mediocre Taoist priest and would not even be able to restore the state of concentration. In the past few days, Zuo Liuying could not forget this matter. He kept thinking about it, trying to figure out why the progress of his practice was not as good as he wanted.

After getting the memory of Niwan Palace from Mu Xingqiu, he increased his understanding of the demon clan and gained some insights into his own practice.

"Four hundred years of memories weigh me down," he said.

"Mr. Yishi said that memory is power, and the memories of Taoist priests are far beyond ordinary people. How could it become a drag?" Mu Xingqiu did not remove Zuo Liuying's memory immediately. Such a request was too unexpected. He had to find out first. what's going on.

"Just because memory is power, I am overwhelmed. In the past, I could easily control memory, but now it is controlling me." Zuo Liuying seemed to be talking to himself again, "The magic of demons is also power, and It is a powerful force, but it cannot be exerted in the hands of Taoist priests. Even the Taoist priests who are possessed by demons are clumsy when casting demon spells, but they think their strength has improved. "

Mu Xingqiu admitted that Zuo Liuying was right. Two Wangshan Taoist priests were defeated by him one after another. Zhou Qi even became a Taoist priest. Both of them had used demon magic. In Mu Xingqiu's opinion, they were not as good as Taoist priests. Spells are more powerful.

"If you want to understand the true demonic magic, you must first become a demon completely. That means giving up the inner elixir and all Taoist magic. But even the most stubborn Taoist priests who are obsessed with demons cannot do this. They always want to use demonic magic. Improving or strengthening one’s inner elixir only weakens one’s strength.”

Zuo Liuying paused for a while, stretched out his hand and tapped an orb twice before continuing: "Memory is part of power. Only when combined with the corresponding inner elixirs and spells can it have the desired effect. I will keep it." Practicing again with these memories is like walking on the road with a mountain on your back. Every step requires too much effort.

"How long has it been and you have already reached the Dinxia realm? Do you still think it's too slow?" Yang Qingyin couldn't believe it. It took her five or six years to reach the Dinxia realm, which is considered very fast among Taoist disciples. .

"The problem is not the present, but the future. I know how far I can go." Zuo Liuying actually showed a wry smile, "This is the power of memory. It tells me that if this continues, I will be on the third or fourth level of Starfall." Time stands still.”

"So you want to remove the memory and let it tell you nothing?" Yang Qingyin was even more difficult to understand. It was as if she had cut off the messenger who delivered the bad news, thinking that in this way the approaching danger would disappear.

Zuo Liuying's expression was much richer than before, and now he showed a smile of "Of course not", "If you knew that you would die tomorrow, would you still lead the demon clan to fight Bingkui?"

"I have to wait until tomorrow to talk, so as not to wait for death from today." Yang Qingyin still didn't understand what Zuo Liuying meant.

"No, what I mean is that you are sure that you will die, without any doubt. You believe this more than you believe that you are Yang Qingyin." Zuo Liuying's eyes became more intense than ever before, which made him more like a young Taoist priest. Rather than the head of the Forbidden Secret Division.

Yang Qingyin was stunned, "I...I don't know..."

"In the battle that just ended, those demon tribes were convinced that they would be killed by Bing Kui, so they gave up resistance and sat there waiting to die." Zuo Liuying's speaking speed gradually increased.

Yang Qingyin caught a loophole and said hurriedly: "Mu Xingqiu defeated Bingkui in the end, but even if you believe in the future, it may change."

"That's right." Zuo Liuying didn't look refuted at all, "Memory is a kind of power and a drag on me, because it makes me believe that I will stop at the realm of starfall. Unfortunately, with my In my current state, there is no way I can defeat this power. In order for my future to have other possibilities than the Xingluo state, I must throw away the drag and remove most of my memories."

"Most of it?" Mu Xingqiu also found it puzzling.

"Especially the memories about practice must be removed, and then you have to teach me how to practice, starting from scratch, starting with practicing Bone Forging Fist."

Zuo Liuying's expression could be said to be fanatical, his cheeks were slightly red, and his eyes were bright, as if he was not giving up all his memories, but was getting a rare treasure in the world.

"You may not like practicing at all by then." Mu Xingqiu and Yang Qingyin looked at each other, both wondering if Zuo Liuying was a little obsessed.

"This is exactly what I want. If I don't have the possibility of death, I won't survive. If I don't have the possibility of becoming mediocre, I won't work hard. Maybe I will hate practicing in the future, maybe my qualifications will become average, and I can't even condense elixirs." I can't do it, but it's because of this that I have the possibility to break through Xingluo and the realm of concentration."

"Wait a minute." Mu Xingqiu roughly understood Zuo Liuying's intention and didn't want to object anymore, but there was one thing that was puzzling. "You have already refining an inner elixir, a first-level dinner glow, what else are you talking about?" You can't even condense the elixir, 'start from scratch'? Do you want to spit out the elixir again?"

Zuo Liuying's expression became serious, "No, I won't spit out the elixir this time. I want to make it more valuable - use my living elixir to treat Yang Qingyin's burns."

Several people were stunned.

"I don't want your living pill." Yang Qingyin's tone was stiff and ungrateful, "You don't owe me anything, so why should I want your thing? I can heal my injuries myself."

Zuo Liuying's expression returned to calm, and she was not interested in arguing. She said to Mu Xingqiu: "You have questions, tell me while my memory is still there."

Mu Xingqiu knew that no matter how crazy Zuo Liuying's decision seemed, it was impossible to change, so he did not object, but asked: "Removing your memory and destroying your inner elixir will not make you die or... Become an idiot?"

"I said I don't want your living pill." Yang Qingyin said angrily because no one listened to her words.

But Zuo Liuying and Mu Xingqiu still ignored her, and even Bald Man and Xiaohao didn't respond at all, listening intently to Zuo Liuying's words. Only Flea turned to look at her.

"Is War Demon Mountain worth defending? Do you want to stop Bing Kui from continuing to set up the Douzuanxing Shifting Formation? Mr. Yishi suggested that I retreat to Zhibu State, saying that that is the last place of hope. He thinks that destroying the first pivot of the Dou Zhuanxing Shifting Formation is enough ” Mu Xingqiu asked.

"There are benefits to guarding, and there are benefits to retreating. Each choice will bring several possibilities. If I were still a Taoist priest, I would be careful to say as little as possible and let you choose by yourself. Everything that arises from this will All these consequences are within my expectations, and I won’t tell you what to do next until the prospects are clear.”

Xiao Hao suddenly realized, "So that's it. I understand, I understand. Now I know how to be a high-level Taoist priest..."

"Unless you have as many memories as I do, it's impossible to predict every consequence. You can't fake this kind of thing." Zuo Liuying turned his eyes back to Mu Xingqiu, "You want to know every possibility , Every consequence? I can tell you all, and you can deduce it from my memory."

Mu Xingqiu shook his head. Memory is both strength and drag. If you know too much, you will be indecisive. He understands why the high-level Taoist priests are always vague. It is not a pretense, but an observation made when everything is not yet clear.

He had to make his own decision and then bear all possible consequences. He had known this for a long time, and Zuo Liuying's words strengthened this belief.

Suddenly, there is no need to ask many originally important questions. The questions still exist, but it is useless to ask them. The whole world is at the crossroads of great changes, and everything in the future is in the fog, even the Taoist ancestors. It may not be able to give clear guidance.

The power of memory can only be fully demonstrated on a gentle road. Once you enter the wilderness where no one has set foot, you will see sights you have never seen before. Everything has no counterpart in memory. This kind of power There is no use for it.

At this time, what is needed is action as soon as possible, perseverance, and a strong will to overcome obstacles.

Mu Xingqiu only had one question left, a simple question. He took off the invisible scabbard on his left wrist, "Is there any spell that can seal the Frost Soul Sword in my body? As long as I live, it will not be taken away." ”

Yang Qingyin always wanted to say a few more words to express her decision more forcefully, but at this moment she closed her mouth and stared blankly at Mu Xingqiu's palm. She couldn't see the scabbard, but it seemed like it was reflected in her eyes. .

"There is a 'bone-hiding art' that can attach the Frost Soul Sword and the scabbard to one of your bones. It can only be separated from you forty-nine days after your death. The bone-hiding art is a profound magic , it requires a powerful magic weapon to be used. If you have the water from the sword washing pool, it should be fine."

Mu Xingqiu thanked him and felt a little more at ease.

Zuo Liuying finally turned his attention to Yang Qingyin and answered her original question, "I don't owe you anything, so you don't want to accept my living pill. But Mu Xingqiu owes you, so accept his help as a reward." ”

"He... doesn't owe me anything. Even if he did, he has paid off everything."

"The Tao Fire will never go out." Zuo Liuying pointed to the sky with the Tao Fire Jue, indicating that what he said next was not false at all, "The Tao Fire will be rekindled in my body. This may be the last time I say such a sure thing. : The future has been shrouded in fog, but some things are still as clear as before, such as the fact that neither of you has survived the love crisis, which is a problem you must solve."
