Exorcism

Prince Tuotao led three thousand cavalry into the land of monsters. They either died or fled, leaving less than two thousand. At this time, they were all standing outside the invisible restrictions set by the Taoist priests, and they were all stunned.

They had just moved the camp and before the tents were erected, they were fascinated by the strange sight in the Taoist camp.

Under their gaze, a lonely cedar shook off its snow, sprouted branches, grew leaves, and blossomed, turning into an unknown and beautiful plant. This is not the end, the greenery is expanding outwards from the center of this tree, not in a hurry. Wherever it goes, the ice and snow turn into soil, and all kinds of flowers, plants and trees sprout out and grow up rapidly.

The green space is getting bigger and bigger, except for the bonfire created by magic. Zuo Liuying was sitting on a stone. At this time, the stone turned into a pile of grass, but he remained unmoved and remained tightly wrapped in it. Several layers of leather jackets.

Among the people, only Xiaohao can see through the illusion with hard work, but she prefers false scenes, jumping on the grass, running around among the flowers, chasing insects flying around.

"Haha, this must be a spell from Nian Xinke. Mu Xingqiu turns out to be capable of this. I thought he could only throw lightning and steal memories."

"Brother Xiaoqiu is very capable." The bald man followed Xiaohao and boasted proudly.

Gao Fuwei was also dumbfounded. He knew it was an illusion, but when the flowers and plants grew up from under his feet, he couldn't help but get out of the way and murmured: "What is Tao Zun doing? I only conjured a few in my memory." Butterfly...awesome, awesome.”

After Yin Buchen delivered the clothes, he still stayed outside the restriction. At this time, he was lying on the ground again, making a whimpering sound similar to crying. It was just a simple illusion, but it also had a very obvious impact on him.

All the demons in the Kingdom of Sacrifice were attracted by the illusion. When the green land broke through the restriction and extended to their feet, all the demon soldiers retreated in panic, but they did not want to get too far away.

The demon general Luo Yunqiao was also retreating, with a gloomy expression on his face. He had only heard about the scene where Mu Xingqiu defeated all enemies with a single thought, and was somewhat skeptical. But now that the illusion was clearly displayed in front of his eyes, he had to believe it. He could see that these illusions were harmless, but the people and spells that could create them must be extremely powerful.

The illusion did not expand too quickly, but disappeared extremely quickly. The greenery was still reflected in many eyes, and Bai Xue had already occupied its own territory again.

Only a handful of eyes could see the final appearance of the city walls.

Mu Xingqiu and Yang Qingyin appeared at the feet of the lonely Xuesong, standing side by side. The demons from the Kingdom of Sacrifice suddenly knelt down one after another outside the ban, as if they had seen the appearance of gods. Luo Yunqiao was unable to stop them and did not dare to stop them. He himself had to kneel down. The heavy armor on his body did not affect his legs and feet at all.

Xiao Hao walked up to Gao Fuwei and nodded solemnly, "You have some skills. If I become friends, I will ask you for help."

"Hmm..." Gao Fuwei didn't listen to what Xiaohao said. He stared at Mu and Yang closely, feeling that something was wrong.

"Get some rest and set off as soon as dawn." Mu Xingqiu ordered.

It wasn't long before dawn, so the demons didn't set up tents and found a place to sleep. All they saw in their dreams were green spaces and flowers.

Yang Qingyin silently strengthened the restrictions around the camp to prevent curious eyes from outside, and at the same time, it could also block the trespassing of ordinary monsters.

Yin Buchen jumped into the confinement at the last moment and stood close to him, his eyes darting around in fear. As long as there was a hint, even if the little demon fluttered his eyes, he would immediately run out of the confinement. No one chased him away, and no one paid attention to him. Yin Buchen breathed a sigh of relief, and with a happy face, he slowly approached the bonfire.

Mu Xingqiu happened to walk near the bonfire and was about to sit down. Yin Buchen rolled up a pile of useless clothes and put them on the rocks that had been placed there.

Mu Xingqiu stared at the burning fire of the five elements, his expression as serious as a piece of ice, but the shadows on the snow were swaying wildly.

Everyone had a premonition that something was wrong. Even Xiaohao didn't come up to ask how the relationship was going. Finally, Zuo Liuying turned around and said, "You haven't reinforced it yet?"

"What?"

"You have induced the emotional calamity, which is a good start, but the emotional calamity will gradually fade and hide again in your heart, so you have to keep this feeling and don't let it escape until you feel tired, exhausted, or even disgusted. , and then you can get rid of it from the bottom of your heart.”

Mu Xingqiu certainly understood the process of severing fate to overcome the tribulation. This was the basic common sense taught by Taoism. He just didn't expect that it would be so difficult when it came to it.

The close contact he had with Yang Qingyin just now could not be considered a success, but his original goal was achieved. He aroused the deepest love in his heart, which was the memory of Fangfang. Since Fangfang passed away, only her soul remained. In the Frost Soul Sword, this longing became the source of pain that could never be satisfied.

The first step in overcoming the tribulation is to lead the tribulation out. Gao Fuwei said that this is "leading the snake out of the hole", which is indeed somewhat accurate. The second step is to consolidate the tribulation and retain the various emotions it brings for a long time until it can be completely Cut off.

But Mu Xingqiu didn't want to regard this memory as a "snake", let alone a love disaster that was about to be severed. He felt heartbroken and weak, but he couldn't bear to throw it away. He carried the memory on his back like a defeated slave. Carrying a large bag of gold and silver, even if his waist is broken and he can only crawl on the ground, he still refuses to give up one or two pieces.

Mu Xingqiu understood all these principles, but it was too difficult to do them. There was also an important reason why he was reluctant to take the next step of severing the relationship: Yang Qingyin seemed to have not yet brought out the love tribulation.

Pain is the prerequisite for severing the relationship. Yang Qingyin was still controlled by the love tribulation, one step behind Mu Xingqiu.

"I'll wait a little longer." Mu Xingqiu said. He couldn't just focus on severing the relationship like Ning Qiwei, the former master of Pangshan.

Zuo Liuying didn't persuade him. He was wearing several layers of fur coats and sitting near a pile of five elements of fire. He still looked very cold, and he refused to take off his straw hat, like a person who had just been rescued from ice water.

After the ban was strengthened, Yang Qingyin also walked to the campfire, "We can't wait any longer, you have to continue."

"But you..."

"Mu Xingqiu, sometimes good intentions can lead to wrong things. You always want to go through the tribulation with me. How can this make me feel sad? How can you lead to the tribulation of love? The more you do this, the more I like you."

Yang Qingyin did not have the gentle temperament that Gao Fuwei admired. She said what she wanted to say directly, regardless of whether there were other people around. "Your tribulation of love has no target, so it is easy to lead out. My tribulation of love is on you. The better you are, the deeper I will fall. So, you should consolidate the tribulation of love as soon as possible. It will be good for both of us."

Mu Xingqiu had nothing to say. He had to go on step by step.

It is not easy to keep the painful moments of the tribulation of love in his heart. Mu Xingqiu had to recall the memories just now over and over again. He thought that he would never hate this memory, but he would eventually get tired and cut off the relationship.

Mu Xingqiu stretched out his hand, Yang Qingyin came over, held his hand, and quickly let go, as if they were reaching some kind of agreement, but in fact they were quietly handing over the water from the sword-washing pool.

During the stage of consolidating the love tribulation, Mu Xingqiu even found it difficult to contemplate the details of the spell, let alone cast it directly. Yang Qingyin suddenly became his and everyone's protector.

Yang Qingyin collected the water droplets calmly, and suddenly smiled at Mu Xingqiu, "Okay, this time the imitation is considered complete. It's really troublesome. I hope that after I cut off my mortal bond, I will never have to make a Taoist bond again."

Mu Xingqiu also smiled. After all, he was a Taoist priest. Although he recalled Fangfang again, he didn't show the pain on his face.

Xiaohao walked to Zuo Liuying, squatted down and asked, "Do you regard the tribulation as the most basic memory?"

Xiaohao was very satisfied with the performance of Mu and Yang, but was puzzled that Zuo Liuying was the first to see that Mu Xingqiu had brought out the love tribulation.

"Well, this is a very important memory. I have to remember the pain of mortals so that I can move forward bravely during the third practice." Xiaohao nodded, indicating that he understood. This is indeed a bit similar to the severing of fate and overcoming tribulations. They all lead to pain first, then remember the pain, experience the pain, until they are completely free from it. "But mortals also have mortal happiness. What if you indulge in it?" "Then I will be defeated. You seem to be very familiar with me. I only remember your name, not what you have done." "We used to be very familiar, so familiar... I am almost confused. The land of monsters is boring. I will take you to Jiangnan in the future. There you can experience what a real mortal is. You have to see their pain and happiness." Zuo Liuying nodded, turned his eyes to the campfire, and didn't want to talk anymore. Yang Qingyin made trouble and strengthened the ban again. He secretly tried the water in the sword washing pool and found it very helpful. Seeing Gao Fuwei standing there like a wooden man, she recalled the memory he provided, "What happened between you and Miss Song in the end?"

"Ah? Miss Song... Oh, you mean her." Gao Fuwei woke up as if from a dream, "She married an official, gave birth to two children, and then died of illness at the age of 31. We are mortals, fate is unpredictable, so we are born with unique abilities. Emotions come and go easily, and we don't need to make special efforts to... cut off the relationship."

Gao Fuwei laughed twice, and that memory seemed to have no effect on him.

Yang Qingyin just wanted to know an ending, but found that it was better to know nothing. She turned around and prepared to leave, but Gao Fuwei suddenly got angry.

This anger came quite abruptly, without any signs beforehand, even Gao Fuwei himself didn't know what was going on, but he was going to get angry, and he couldn't control it at all. If he didn't say what was in his heart, he felt that he would be suffocated to death.

"Why?" He shouted. All eyes turned, especially Yang Qingyin, who looked puzzled and a little angry.

"Aren't Taoists human? Must you cut off all your emotions to be considered powerful? Look at you, love has just begun, but you are in a hurry to cut it off. You, you are simply... stupid and unreasonable. What about consolidating pain and cutting off ties to overcome calamity, it's all lies!"

"Fuck, I'm almost pissed off. Mu Xingqiu, do you know that when a person loves deeply, he is willing to give everything? Ling Wang... Ling Wang didn't even think about overcoming calamity for you."
