Exorcism

A hundred-foot-high wave surged in angrily from a distance, carrying the force of thunder. When it was only two or three feet away from the island, it forcibly stopped its charge. There was only a roar as it ran over the island, like a horse rushing into someone. At the last moment, the crazy horse stands upright, and the iron hoofs may still step down at any time.

Fortunately, the waves were more tame than Crazy Horse, and the anger gradually disappeared, the waves weakened, and the sea became calm again, until another huge wave appeared from the distance.

The island is just a small rock out of the water. It is no more than a hundred steps long and only a dozen steps wide. It looks like a sinking ship after overturning.

People standing on it will indeed have a sense of uncertainty and panic.

Bald Man stopped on the highest rock on the island, admiring the wonderful scenery over and over again. Even though he knew that the waves would disappear, he still screamed when it approached. Afterwards, he happily said, "What a pity, Xiaohao can't see it!"

Not far from the bald man, casual cultivator Ouyang Hao and talisman master Liu Ding also turned their heads to look at the waves from time to time, their faces changing color every time.

A little further away stood the demon statue, with a small circle of humans and monsters at its feet that ignored each other. Black Phoenix, Hong Futian, Yin Buchen, An Xiangxing and Yang Chuang were facing in various directions, thinking about themselves. Concerned, occasionally cast a disdainful look at a certain target.

At the end of the island, closest to the waves, Mu Xingqiu and Yang Qingyin stood side by side, waiting for Mr. Yishi to give an explanation.

Mr. Yishi had a frown on his face, pacing back and forth in front of the two of them, only stopping to take a look every time the waves came.

"The waves were not so big in the past, and the restraint on magic was not so strong. I could pass through it from the bottom of the sea, and if my hands were quick and my eyes were quick, I could avoid the waves one after another in the air." Mr. Yishi frowned, "Now It’s a good thing, it can’t fly, and it probably won’t be able to walk on the bottom of the sea.”

"The road you recognize is dead?" Yang Qingyin asked.

"It's not that the road is impassable, it's that we have brought too many burdens." Mr. Yishi pointed to the other side of the island, "One demon statue is troublesome enough, and there are also casual cultivators and talisman masters. Bringing them here is really unnecessary. It can’t be of any help, and it affects our ability to cross the sea.”

"They are my friends who came here voluntarily." Yang Qingyin said stiffly. Hong Futian, Ouyang Hao, Liu Ding and other three people offered to come together to stop the state. Yang Qingyin and Mu Xingqiu did not refuse, "Don't you also With three monsters? They are even more of a burden.

Mr. Yishi shook his head repeatedly, "I didn't bring the Black Phoenix. As for Yin Buchen, I can strangle him to death at any time. Only An Xiangxing came with me. The time is almost up. I will swallow him before crossing the sea." Soul, just give me a little more strength."

"Let's camp here and rest for a day. Maybe the waves won't be so violent all the time." Mu Xingqiu said.

"Then just wait." Mr. Yishi said nonchalantly, "But I don't think there will be any change. The waves are coming unusually. Either something happened in Zhibu State, or the Taoist tradition has strengthened its defenses and doesn't want to let humans in again." He and the demon tribe secretly entered Zhibu State from the sea. "

"What does it have to do with orthodoxy?" Yang Qingyin asked in confusion. She didn't know anything yet.

Lord Yishi just smiled, walked towards the demon statue, and ordered Yin Buchen to set up a tent.

Yang Qingyin looked at Mu Xingqiu who was silent, "What are you thinking? If it doesn't work, let's go in and let others wait on the island. It's not a big stop. If the people from Yelin Town are really there, it should be easy. turn up."

Mu Xingqiu smiled and said, "I was thinking that we haven't been alone together for a long time."

For more than a month, they had been flying, occasionally resting, which was not long. Indeed, they had never been alone together.

But Yang Qingyin felt that Mu Xingqiu's smile was a bit weird, and said coldly: "That's nothing, I'm not in a hurry."

"I'm anxious." Mu Xingqiu liked Yang Qingyin's serious look, "It's tonight, when the moon is at its highest. The scenery here is good, and even the illusion doesn't need to be too complicated."

Yang Qingyin's face turned red. She neither agreed nor refused. She turned to leave, but suddenly realized, "You plan to leave me on the island too, right? So you came to please me and tell you..."

Mu Xingqiu hissed at her, strode away, and set up the tent with the others, setting up a circle of restrictions so that if the waves really hit, they wouldn't be caught off guard.

Yang Qingyin secretly made up her mind that she would never let Mu Xingqiu abandon her on this small desert island. She hated waiting. The more dangerous Zhi Bu Bang became, the less she could stay out of it.

Mu Xingqiu had other ideas. First, he had to persuade Hong Futian and others to stay. This step was easier. The casual cultivators and talisman masters had no intention of becoming a burden and were willing to stay on the island and wait.

The next step is to persuade the bald man, which is not easy. The bald man opened his eyes wide and kept gesturing with three strands of hair, "I'm just that big, you can just put me in wherever you want, it won't be a problem at all, really." , Brother Xiaoqiu, take me with you, I can help."

Mu Xingqiu held the bald man aside and whispered to him, "I asked you to stay for a reason. You have to help me protect someone."

"Who are you protecting?" The bald man looked surprised, glanced around, and said in a lower voice: "Is it my mother?"

"Does she need my protection?" Bald Man was very confused.

"Yes, she has sword-washing water on her body, so she must be coveted by others. No one dared to take action when I was here, but it's hard to say when I'm not here. She is alone and can't support herself, and the people around her are not as reliable as you."

The bald man nodded immediately, "I understand...why don't you take me to Zipubang with you?"

"It's also because of the water in the sword washing pool. I don't want to attract too much attention in Zhibu State."

The bald man still didn't quite understand. He thought for a long time before reluctantly agreeing, "Okay, I'll stay to protect my mother and the water in the sword washing pool. Also, I will never let those two guys Ouyang Hao and Liu Ding get too close to my mother."

Mu Xingqiu smiled and shook his head, "Don't leak the secret. I won't tell Yang Qingyin about it until tonight."

Baldy grinned, happy to be a part of the secret, even if it only lasted one night.

During the remaining time, Mu Xingqiu entered a meditative state in the tent, carefully reading the telepathy spells left to him by the dragon demon. There are more than a thousand spells, but not many are really suitable for him. Low-level spells account for more than half, and there are also some advanced methods that require illusions above the ninth level to cast. He can only look at them, but cannot learn them. There are dozens more Although Xiang Dharma is extremely helpful for eighth-level illusions, it requires the support of top-level magic weapons and even Taoist treasures. Mu Xingqiu can only sigh in despair.

There are probably more than a hundred spells suitable for eighth-level illusions, and there are also some low-level spells with a wide range of uses that are worth learning.

One method particularly attracted Mu Xingqiu's attention because it was related to the sword-washing pool in Yashan.

Mu Xingqiu once used the water of the Sword Washing Pond to perform the mental illusion at Zhan Mo Mountain, and wiped out tens of thousands of ice beasts in one fell swoop. At that time, he felt that the illusion and the water of the Sword Washing Pond were particularly matched. In this "Pearl Shadow Water Illusion" During the spell, Mu Xingqiu finally understood the truth.

After all, Nian Xin Ke is one of the eighteen Taoist subjects. Although it is inextricably linked to demon magic, its foundation is still the Five Elements. Most Taoist illusions belong to the water of the five elements. Among the nine great treasures, the sword-washing pool is the most suitable for illusions. This is true for both the five elements illusions and the mind-reading illusions.

The water in the sword-washing pool is not just as simple as amplifying and enhancing illusions. "Pearl Shadow Water Illusion" introduces more magical effects in detail. If Mu Xingqiu had known this trick in Zhan Mo Mountain, it would have been easier to eliminate Bing Kui. .

The power of one thought moved the hearts of all enemies. It was only then that Mu Xingqiu really touched the edge.

Mu Xingqiu concentrated on studying. Although there was no water in the sword-washing pond in his hand, he still practiced the method dozens of times, but he never let the illusion leave his body.

Unconsciously, the night was already dark, and Mu Xingqiu suddenly remembered that he had an important moonrise appointment. He hurriedly recovered his mind and walked out of the tent. He saw a cliff-like wave coming, and an iron-red full moon above his head. , like a blood pearl jumping out of the sea.

The roar was still there, but it was no longer deafening.

The others were resting, and only the golem stood there quietly. Mu Xingqiu never read the message hidden in it. He walked to the other end of the island and found that Yang Qingyin had not arrived yet, so he cast a spell to create an illusion.

The fantasy is very simple. He retained the towering waves and the blood moon high in the sky, but turned the hard rocks into soft sandy beaches with a few logs lying across them, where you can sit and lean on.

"Looks like Zhao Shan." Yang Qingyin came, deliberately appearing calm and easy-going, but already prepared to refuse to stay on the island.

"A little more light will make it look more like it." Mu Xingqiu created a soft shimmer, and this corner of the island looked more like Zhaoshan Island in the South China Sea.

"Actually, it doesn't have to be like this..."

"Now that we have formed a relationship, we should be more serious." Mu Xingqiu adjusted some details and was finally satisfied. Then he walked up to Yang Qingyin and stared into her eyes.

Yang Qingyin did not flinch. If Gao Fuwei were still here, he would be heartbroken by this confrontation.

"Huh?" Yang Qingyin did not relax her vigilance.

"We have a mortal bond, but our behavior is too much like Taoist priests."

"what do you want?"

"I want to be a mortal for once tonight."

"How?"

"First of all, we must forget the identity of the Taoist priest. Secondly, we must make the inner elixir rotate as slowly as possible. We must also leave all the magic weapons outside. Finally... we can talk about it when the time comes."

Yang Qingyin hummed in relief, wanting to see when Mu Xingqiu would turn to the topic.

Mu Xingqiu had a total of three treasure bags and two Qiankun bags, which contained various types of items. He took them off his waist, took them out from his arms, and placed them all on a stone at the edge of the illusion. Yang Qingyin also put a few of his bags on it, as well as a few scattered magic weapons, and finally Lao Jun's magic palm, which was stored separately.

Mu Xingqiu casually summoned the water from the sword-washing pond in his demonic palm, "I have learned a new trick called Pearl Shadow Water Illusion, let you see it."

Mu Xingqiu reshaped the illusion, and then returned the pool water to the devil's palm.

"Nothing seems to have changed." Yang Qingyin glanced at it, and everything was still the same as before.

"etc."

It was as if a mountain fell from the sky. Suddenly, the surrounding scenery changed significantly. It was no longer Zhaoshan Mountain, but Pangshan Muma Valley. Not far from the two of them was the small pond.

Yang Qingyin felt warm in her heart and a smile appeared on her face.

Mu Xingqiu's expression became serious, "Only the illusion created by the water of the Sword Washing Pond can block the prying eyes of the Sword Washing Pond."

"What did you say?" Yang Qingyin realized that she had made a mistake. Mu Xingqiu not only wanted her to stay, but also had more important things to say.

"Everything." Mu Xingqiu said, finally finding the opportunity to tell Yang Qingyin the truth he knew.
