Exorcism

Black Phoenix felt as if she had fallen into deep water, with blurry sunlight above her head. She tried her best to float upwards, but could not move forward. Her breathing became more and more difficult, until she found that one of her feet seemed to be covered by water plants. Something got stuck.

Black Phoenix just wanted to survive. She raised her other foot and kicked it with all her strength, once, twice, three times... Finally she got rid of the restraints, rushed out of the water, breathed the fresh air, and saw the light. .

Then she remembered what had just happened.

Black Phoenix stood on the ground, and the first thing she saw was the tall demon statue, not far from her. It had lost its vitality and stood as dull as a sculpture.

She has owned the golem for less than half an hour, but Black Phoenix is ​​so frustrated that she wants to cry. No matter how beautiful her body is, she can't make up for the loss of leaving the golem. She misses the powerful power as if she has owned it for decades. memory.

She couldn't bear to look any further, so she turned around and was stunned.

There was actually a black phoenix in front of her, exactly like her, even the dazed expression was exactly the same. She immediately realized that this was a clone she had inadvertently created by casting a spell.

Black Phoenix breathed a sigh of relief and turned around, eagerly looking for Mu Xingqiu's whereabouts. No, it was Dao Zun. She secretly vowed never to make a mistake in naming her again.

The ground beneath his feet shook twice, and a moment later, Mu Xingqiu appeared on the edge of the cliff, with a crow on his shoulders and a group of humans behind him, all of whom seemed to be casual cultivators and talisman masters.

"Dao Zun." Black Phoenix used all his abilities on this sound, pitiful, extremely happy, regretful... In short, all the emotions that can make a man feel affection are included in it.

This move was so powerful that at least the casual cultivators and talisman masters were stunned. They fell to the ground with their mouths open in confusion. Several people staggered unsteadily and didn't even notice what was half a step behind them. Cliff, everyone has the same question in their mind: How could there be such a beautiful woman in the world? How could there be such a moving voice? And there are still two of them!

But Black Phoenix knew best that this trick was ineffective against Mu Xingqiu. As soon as she returned to her original body, she habitually used the charm technique, not really wanting to seduce the Taoist, "I understand! I've woken up. !”

Mu Xingqiu strode forward. After a few steps, he realized that none of the people behind him were following him. The bald man flew between the two black phoenixes in advance, "What do you understand?"

"The strong only join forces with the strong and ignore the weak. Wangshan Demonic Priest doesn't take me seriously at all. He just uses me and throws it away. But Dao Zun is different. Dao Zun is unique. Among the strong people in the world Only you don’t exclude weaklings like me, and even give me opportunities, but I don’t know how to cherish them..."

Black Phoenix's face was filled with pear blossoms, and his voice was full of trembling regret. Dozens of people on the edge of the cliff all nodded their heads. If it weren't for the fear in their hearts, they would have really wanted to forgive the penitent beauty on Mu Xingqiu's behalf.

Mu Xingqiu was indifferent. In his eyes, the black phoenix was just an ordinary banshee. However, he noticed something very strange. He stopped and scanned the faces of the two black phoenixes, "This what's going on?"

"I accidentally cast the clone technique...I'll take her back right now."

"Wait a minute." Mu Xingqiu was well-informed, but he still found this matter a bit unbelievable, "There is something wrong with your clone."

Black Phoenix stared at his clone for a while, "It's a little strange. The clone should be consistent with me. How come she..."

The clone that had been standing still suddenly bent over and coughed violently. Black Phoenix suddenly realized, and then a cold feeling rushed from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and he blurted out: "It's you!"

The clone swayed from side to side like a drunkard. After finally standing firm, he roared, "This is not me!"

As soon as this voice came out, the charm that enveloped the people on the cliff immediately disappeared. It turned out to be a man's voice, and it looked quite old.

After all, An Xiangxing's soul couldn't compete with the real owner, so he was forced to withdraw from the Black Phoenix demon body and entered the clone body inexplicably. He was not Lord Yishi, and he had no ability to let the soul change bodies at will, so he could only be trapped here.

"This is mine!" Black Phoenix became angry. She didn't care about her demon body in the demon body, but now she didn't want to give even a hair to anyone else.

Black Phoenix casts a spell to take back the clone. This should be an easy task. It is much easier to take back the clone than to take back the clone. But she failed. The clone just staggered a few steps closer to her, but did not disappear.

"What on earth is going on?" Bald Man asked with a smile, thinking that the two black phoenixes with different voices were more interesting.

Mu Xingqiu could guess the general idea, but couldn't tell the specific reason. Heihuang and An Xiangxing had nothing to think about except fear, and stared at each other with hatred.

It was the crow who opened his mouth to explain.

The crow looked very young, with shiny black feathers, and a pair of eyes sparkling with intelligence. The voice coming out of its mouth was as hoarse as a pile of stones rubbing against each other in a bag, "Souls are not easily transferred. The Taoist priest's soul was already damaged when he entered the demon statue. He destroyed his original body with his own hands, turning his soul into sourceless water. A weak soul cannot survive independently. It happens that the clone does not have a soul, so it becomes. The place where the Taoist soul rests.”

"I see." Bald Man nodded seriously, "Hey, you are not a demon of souls. Can you change your body at will? Can you help him?"

"Hey, that's a profound magic that took me nearly two thousand years to understand. I suffered a lot for it. First, this skill will never be spread to outsiders. Second, he doesn't have time to learn it. He is now working with the dead. There is not much difference in the soul. After seven days, you will gradually lose your memory, and after forty-nine days, your soul will be gone."

Although the crow's voice is hoarse and unpleasant, it always reveals a sense of smugness, as if it holds the most and most important secrets in the world.

"The Taoist priest is in disarray, where am I?" Black Phoenix asked eagerly, and immediately added, "Lord Yishijun."

"That's a good thing for you. You can take back the clone. In fact, it's easy to retrieve it faster, as long as you stay far enough away from the clone."

"That's right, the clone can't be too far away from me... She will disappear within three hundred miles at most." Black Phoenix gave the clone a vicious look. If the clone disappears, he can create another one. There is no need to regret at all.

An Xiangxing was dumbfounded. With such an expression on the face of the Black Phoenix clone, he could still charm a group of people, as long as he didn't speak.

"I'm already dead...I'm already dead?" An Xiangxing couldn't believe this fact. He was once a Xingluo Taoist priest and was highly respected. Even after he became a hermit, he still had followers. But not only did he die inexplicably, he was also ridiculous. It was the latter point that he found difficult to accept, "Where is my inner elixir?"

"Of course it's still in the body of the golem." Another crow answered, moving left and right on Mu Xingqiu's shoulder, "The reason why the magicians allowed you to fuse with the golem was because of the inner elixir. It's fine now. The inner elixir belongs to the demon and no one can take it out."

Stunned, An Xiangxing was struck by lightning again, "I'm so stupid...how could I...how could I believe Long Mo and Qian Xiaoyao?"

Mu Xingqiu knew why, but felt there was no need to say it. Crow didn't have any sympathy, "Because they know demon illusions, because your Taoist heart has been broken long ago, and most importantly, you are greedy and stupid."

An Xiangxing couldn't refute a word, "Let me die."

"You are already dead. It just happened that there was a body for you to live in for a few days." Crow didn't mean to tease or be cruel, but he was used to telling the truth. "You are very, very lucky. Most of the dead don't have your body." By chance, the soul can only wander back and forth where the body died, unable to see or hear anything.”

An Xiangxing was shocked, remembering that the soul of his companion Guo Dongyou was "floating in the Demon King's Palace" at the moment, and his vision went dark and he almost fainted.

Mu Xingqiu couldn't help An Xiangxing, and he didn't want to. He turned around and walked towards the casual cultivators and talisman masters. The crow flew up from his shoulders and landed on the bald man's head. He continued to talk about all kinds of knowledge about souls, completely ignoring how frightened the listeners were. Frustrated.

Mu Xingqiu walked up to a young man and said, "Are you the emperor's grandson Fuci?"

The young man has a delicate appearance but piercing eyes. Faced with Black Phoenix's charm, he is the only one who shows resistance.

Fu Ci adjusted his clothes and nodded solemnly, "Yes, I am Fu Ci. It turns out that you are Taoist Mu Xingqiu."

Fuzi did not say "I have admired you for a long time," nor did he thank you for saving your life. This made Mu Xingqiu look at him with new eyes and admire Princess Xijie's vision even more. "Leave the Kingdom of Sheshen immediately and don't negotiate anymore. King Sheshen has already taken the medicine." The demon species will never surrender to the Holy Talisman Dynasty again."

"Some nobles of the Sheshen Kingdom, including several princes, have seen the changes in the King of Sheshen, and they will soon launch a palace coup."

"If you believe me, don't participate in this palace change and leave the Kingdom of Sacrifice as quickly as possible." The information Mu Xingqiu got from the dragon demon was disturbing, but he couldn't go into more detail.

Emperor Fuci thought for a while, "There are still a large number of humans imprisoned in the four towns of Tuoshan and some cities..."

"I can't guarantee anything, but I will try my best to find a way."

Fu Ci took the lead and flew up the sacrificial talisman, saying in the air: "I owe the Taoist priest a life-saving grace, and I will always remember this."

Mu Xingqiu nodded and watched everyone leave. Several casual cultivators and talisman masters reluctantly turned back to look at Black Phoenix.

The crow flew onto Mu Xingqiu's shoulder, "An Xiangxing is a Taoist priest of Dongfu. He has read a lot of books. Some of his memories should be very interesting. I decided to take him with me and find a way to extend the time he can stay awake."

"Okay, let's set off to see Zuo Liuying immediately, and then go to Zhi Bubang." According to Mu Xingqiu's estimation, Tiger Talisman Master Gao Fuwei is about to recover all his memories, and he has to act as soon as possible.

The black phoenix patrolled back and forth behind Mu Xingqiu. She wanted to follow Mu Xingqiu, but also wanted to leave alone, but she was hesitant in her heart.

"Follow me, your clone technique may be useful in the future." Mu Xingqiu said. He hadn't fully thought about it yet, but An Xiangxing's soul in the Black Phoenix clone did give him some inspiration.
