Exorcism

The magic confinement in the palace is extremely powerful. Mu Xingqiu can barely cast the fourth level of illusion, but this is enough. He now has a wealth of illusion skills. He cannot capture the memory, but it is enough to detect the subtle emotions of the monarchs and ministers in the palace. .

The first target of the illusion was the aloof Fire Tree King. His emotions were very complicated. The most dominant ones were surprise and anger. He obviously didn't expect the visitor to be so rude, but the king's dignity allowed him to hide it very well. He knew the emotions in his heart and didn't know what to say to deal with the current situation, so he simply didn't speak and used silence to exert high pressure - this trick usually worked well for the subjects of the Stop State and the intruders who were unable to cast spells. In this case, everyone will kneel down and beg for mercy.

To Mu Xingqiu, silence was just silence, without any deep meaning. If it proved anything, it was that the Fire Tree King had not been soul-changed.

His eyes began to turn to the ministers and their assistants on both sides.

The Fire Tree King was horrified. He didn't realize that there was any illusion at all. He only saw a rude and arrogant Taoist priest openly flouting his authority, looking around in front of him, and kept saying that he wanted to get rid of some "treacherous official".

The Fire Tree King did not want to demean himself and argue with a strange outsider. All he did was make his breathing a little heavier, like a resting lion sending out the first warning to express that he did not want to be harmed. Do not interfere but do not allow other animals to show off their power here.

The ministers immediately understood, especially the Minister of Nanjing. He was in charge of the flawless ice mirror of the south wall and the affairs of the south. He was responsible for the behavior of the visitor. "Guards! Guards! Take this man away and send him to hell. Stop the country." Not accepted..."

Several guards rushed in from outside the hall and strode towards Mu Xingqiu, including the officer. There was a slight surprise on his face. He didn't understand how this Taoist priest who brought rich gifts could offend the Fire Tree King.

Mu Xingqiu bowed slightly, but did not stop casting spells, "I'm very sorry. I know that my behavior is very inappropriate, but I must seize the time. Some Talisman Masters have sneaked into Zhibu State..."

"Nonsense, the fulu masters have been postponed for two months. The previous fulu masters have come and gone, and they have been counted every time. Minister Nanjing waved his hand to the guards to take action immediately. He did not want to lose his temper because of this incident. The trust of the tree king.

The guards rushed to Mu Xingqiu's side, not forgetting to salute the Fire Tree King, and then reached out to catch the bold guest.

Mu Xingqiu stopped, opened his arms, let the guards hold his arms, and stood motionless. He used illusion magic to scan all the targets in the palace, and he was very sure that the person he was staring at was the soul changer.

Fu Lu Master's soul change is more complicated and far inferior to Yi Shijun's ability to come and go freely. It takes a long time to adapt to the new body, but it also has an advantage, that is, the fusion between body and soul will be perfect in the end. It's difficult to find any flaws in the investigation. Mu Xingqiu was looking at people whose emotions and identities were extremely inconsistent.

Mu Xingqiu was not surprised. The soul changer entered the body of a young official. This person was about twenty-three or four years old and was an assistant to a minister. This was a lowly position, but he could stay in the Fire Tree King. Being around means a bright future. The soul changers are not in a rush to seize power right away, they are willing to take their time in managing things.

One soul changer died in the Country of Sacrifice. According to his memory, there were six more soul changers hiding in the Stop Country. As for their conspiracy in this remote small country, there were no details in his memory.

The guards tried their best, but the guests were as motionless as the statues outside. Their faces were red, they did not dare to point out the abnormality, and they did not dare to ask the guards outside for help.

The Fire Tree King tilted his upper body and glanced doubtfully at the ministers' faces, issuing silent accusations to them.

Minister Nanjing was not young. He had been in the cold palace for a long time and had some rheumatism in one of his legs. At this moment, he rushed over and stabbed Mu Xingqiu hard in the chest with the brush in his hand, "Don't be arrogant, Taoist! "

Mu Xingqiu felt a pain in his chest. He looked down and saw that the material and ink of the brush were very special. Some magic power was attached to them, corroding the leather armor and causing some damage to him.

Mu Xingqiu's arms shook, and several guards retreated involuntarily. Minister Nanjing sat down on the ground, still holding the brush in his hand, with a blank look on his face.

Mu Xingqiu walked towards the young official. The others got out of the way, but did not dare to hide too far. They all stood in front of the Fire Tree King, holding pens, inks and other objects in their hands. The officer got the hint and hurriedly ran out of the palace. Go get more help.

"Qin Kun is dead." Mu Xingqiu said.

The clerk stood there without moving or speaking, as if he was petrified, but his eyes showed a maturity and coldness that did not match his age. It was this that made him leak the truth. As a man who has been in power in the Shengfu Dynasty, A long-time soul-changer, his sharp edge cannot be concealed by a small official in Zhibo.

Mu Xingqiu checked everyone, only to find this one soul changer, and there were five others whose whereabouts were unknown. However, as long as he left the palace and went to a place where the magic was weaker, he could seize the memory and find out all the truth.

"Gao Fuwei is also dead." Mu Xingqiu continued.

Dozens of guards swarmed in from the south side gate, showing off their weapons, all of which were swords and guns made of black wood, and quickly surrounded the guests, waiting for an order.

The clerk still didn't speak, he was stubbornly resisting.

Mu Xingqiu turned around, looked past the guards, and said to the Fire Tree King on the nine-foot high platform: "The Talisman Master comes and goes, but sometimes it's just the body that leaves. Your Majesty, please think carefully about the last two times you came to Zhibu Bang. Did any of the Talisman Masters become ill for some reason and couldn't even speak when they left?"

The Fire Tree King narrowed his eyes slightly. Without his orders or hints, the guards surrounded and refused to attack.

Minister Nanjing spoke tremblingly, "Of course there are talisman masters who get sick, often. They can't use talismans here, and it's easy to get acclimated."

Mu Xingqiu stared at the clerk again. The soul-changer could directly kill the soul and seize the body, but a safer way would be to swap bodies with him. The Talisman Master could gradually adapt to the new body, but the soul-changer would gradually shrink and die. Death, in this way, the entire soul-changing process will be even more traceless.

"If I'm not wrong, this person happened to be sick at the same time. It was not that serious. He just moved more slowly and had some changes in his personality, which may be very obvious changes."

Minister Nan Jing was speechless because Mu Xingqiu was right, and that clerk was his assistant.

The clerk still didn't speak, but stared at the Taoist priest fiercely, showing deep hatred. Mu Xingqiu couldn't take away the memory at this time, but he understood that this was the changer who had possessed Xin Youtao in the imperial capital. Soul person.

Mu Xingqiu didn't need any more evidence. He wanted to take the minor officials out of the palace and get all the memories before explaining to the monarchs and ministers of Zhibu.

At this moment, the Fire Tree King on the high platform spoke, "You just said that some Talisman Masters had sneaked into Zhibu State, how many were they?"

The ministers were all surprised because His Majesty's voice was not particularly angry. The guards lowered their weapons, sensing that things would change.

"It should be six." Mu Xingqiu turned to the Fire Tree King again, "They can exchange souls with other people to occupy new bodies. In this way, they can extend their lives and seize power."

"How much power can a small official have?" Fire Tree King asked.

"What they value is the future. This little official will rise to great heights in the future. If I can guess again, his ability to do things has become much stronger since that serious illness, right?"

Many eyes were turned to Minister Nan Jing, who was his assistant and who knew the situation best.

Minister Nanjing had just been helped up, and his body was still swaying. He tried to use vague language and said: "Sometimes people just suddenly have enlightenment..."

For those who have doubts, this answer is enough. King Huoshu asked: "Why do the Talisman masters do this? Zhibu Bang and Longbinhui have always cooperated seamlessly, and there has never been any resentment."

"This is one of the truths I want to find out." Mu Xingqiu actually had some guesses in his heart. Soul changers always pursue power. In their view, Zhibo State must be the source of power in the future, but among them He hasn't figured out the specific reason yet.

The clerk finally spoke. He had always spoken in a false voice, but suddenly switched to his real voice, which shocked all the ministers in the palace who knew him, especially Minister Nan Jing, who sat down on the ground again.

"We have already left Huangjing and Longbinhui, why do you have to chase us here and kill us all?"

The final mission of the tiger talisman master Gao Fuwei is to seize Mu Xingqiu's body, but the soul changer doesn't mention it at all.

"It's not that I kill them all, it's that you always revolve around power, and the building will collapse. The enemies of this world are already strong enough, and I don't want you to break another pillar."

The clerk sneered, "You are just an ordinary little Taoist priest. You think you are smart, but you want to turn the tide. What do you know? What do you know? What we have done is to make the pillar more stable."

"Really?" Mu Xingqiu approached the clerk. As long as he walked out of the palace and got the memory, everything would become clear.

The clerk suddenly pulled open his clothes, revealing his pale and thin chest, with extremely complex talisman patterns written on it, "Every gain must be a loss, and sacrifice is always necessary."

Except for Mu Xingqiu, no one understood the meaning of this sentence. The monarchs, ministers and guards were still in a daze. Mu Xingqiu had used the illusion to the extreme to stop the soul changer.

But the little official still exploded. The soul changer mastered the most profound spells of the Longbin Society. Some of them could even break through the spells of Zhibu State and block the interference of illusions.

This was a powerful explosion, and the servants were instantly bloody and bloody. The aftermath spread and the momentum continued unabated, seeming to destroy the entire palace.

Mu Xingqiu immediately changed his illusion technique and created a transparent illusion to restrain the explosion.

The explosion did not disappear, but surged back and forth within the transparent ball, with flesh and blood flying around, looking for a breakthrough.

There was silence in the main hall. After a moment, the Fire Tree King suddenly stood up and left the throne that had existed for hundreds of thousands of years.

"One of those talisman masters you mentioned is probably hiding among the demon slaves."
