Exorcism

Beauty is worthless in the face of death. The woman's head rolled to the edge of the wooden platform, her mouth slightly opened, facing the ocean. Even the people who were most familiar with her during her lifetime felt only fear and nausea.

The Fire Tree King raised the black wood sword that was still dripping with blood, "Zhibu State is mine. Every plant, tree, person, and animal here is mine. Haha, a Taoist priest, if it weren't for your arrival, I wouldn't have known He has such a huge fortune.”

Mu Xingqiu held up the black bark, and the weak branches growing on it trembled slightly, as if a little shy. Hundreds of soldiers on the shore raised their black wooden weapons at the same time, showing an expression as if they were facing a powerful enemy.

"Is this the wealth you are talking about?" Mu Xingqiu asked.

"Hand it over, and I might spare your life." The Fire Tree King said coldly. A few miles behind him, on the towering cliff where the palace is located, four flawless ice mirrors were lined up, reflecting the moon in the sky. , there is a demon statue standing in the middle of the four mirrors, motionless.

Mu Xingqiu looked for the crow that had just flown by, and found that in just a moment, it had landed on the head of the demon statue and was preening its feathers with its beak.

The Fire Tree King would not repeat the order. The soldiers in the first row raised their javelins above their heads. The light from a flawless ice mirror shone down, illuminating a row of black wooden spears with a steel-like sheen.

Mu Xingqiu suddenly laughed. He really felt that what was happening was so ridiculous. A Nebula tree, which created the demon clan and Taoism, only showed him an incredible historical scene, and a long-dead piece of land. A twig sprouted from the bark, and a king was determined to capture it at any cost.

Before this, the truth was so rare. The high-ranking Taoist priests and Yishi Jun all cherished words like gold and regarded secrets as more important than their lives. Suddenly. Everything was in front of him, but Mu Xingqiu couldn't accept it.

why me? This thought lingered in Mu Xingqiu's mind.

In the eyes of the Fire Tree King, this laughter was tantamount to a humiliation. He grunted, and the first row of soldiers threw their javelins. It didn't look like he was using any special force, but under the mirror light, the javelin shot out like lightning, and the soldier who threw the javelin was shocked.

The javelins were thrown accurately, but they all passed through the target position and fell into the sea a hundred steps away.

The Taoist priests on the boat had disappeared without a trace, and there was no sign of any magic being cast. There was no smoke, light, sound, etc. at all. The moment the soldier threw his gun, he disappeared, disappearing so suddenly that many soldiers thought they had been shot, gave half a cheer, and even took steps to catch the piece of black bark.

The soldiers looked at each other in confusion. Finally, someone turned around, and then all the soldiers turned back one by one, staring blankly at the wooden platform: the Taoist priest was standing opposite the Fire Tree King.

Mu Xingqiu created an illusion before the soldiers threw their guns. He had flown onto the wooden platform, but to all eyes, he stood on the boat and had not moved at all.

The entire Zhiba State is under magical restrictions. The confinement at the seaside dock was neither strong nor weak. Mu Xingqiu could probably perform five or six levels of illusions, and the illusion he created was not perfect, but the black bark in his hand solved all the problems.

The black bark is an extremely powerful magic weapon, even comparable to the sword in the pond and the water in the pond. With its help, Mu Xingqiu's illusion easily deceived all eyes.

This was a small attempt. Mu Xingqiu nodded with satisfaction, admitting that the thing in his hand was indeed a treasure.

The Fire Tree King, who was standing opposite Mu Xingqiu, had a gloomy expression. Both arms are spread out, holding a sword in one hand. Holding a cold, small mirror with a handle in one hand, he seemed about to launch an attack. In fact, he was in disarray and didn't know what to do. He missed the cold palace and the throne inside, and hated the sudden situation in front of him.

Everything should be carried out step by step, and everyone who carried out a surprise attack should be beheaded. The Fire Tree King thought so, but he couldn't do it, so he could only stand there blankly, saying nothing.

Mu Xingqiu took a step forward, and the soldiers in the audience also took a step forward and let out suppressed exclamations. However, no one dared to throw a gun anymore. The two people on the stage were too close to each other.

The light from four flawless ice mirrors shone on the Fire Tree King at the same time. The wooden armor was dazzling, making the Taoist priest opposite him dim.

"You can't hurt me." The Fire Tree King finally spoke. The small mirror in his hand continuously absorbed power from the four ice mirrors. This gave him a lot of confidence, but his voice was still a little trembling.

Mu Xingqiu held the black bark in his right hand, and stretched his left hand towards the Fire Tree King, neither fast nor slow, not in an attacking posture, but it didn't look like a greeting between friends.

The hearts of the soldiers in the audience were raised. No one's heart was raised as high as that of the Fire Tree King. It almost reached his throat. He had to stretch his neck hard, raise his chin slightly, showing an expression of majesty and contempt, and held the gun in his hand. The black wooden sword turned red and slowly slashed at the Taoist priest. It wasn't that he didn't want to speed up, but his muscles were too stiff and the armor on his body was too heavy.

Mu Xingqiu did not hide or block the black wood sword, and did not even look at the Fire Tree King. He stretched out his hand just to take away the small mirror.

The small mirror is very special. It is neither copper nor jade. It is made of the same material as the flawless ice mirror. It looks like ice and feels cool to the touch. It reflects the portrait perfectly.

"What a precious mirror." Mu Xingqiu praised, having already retracted his left arm, holding something belonging to the Fire Tree King in his hand.

The black wood sword was only two or three inches away from Mu Xingqiu's head, and it could no longer come down. After a while, the light on the Fire Tree King disappeared, and no more light came from the flawless ice mirror several miles away. .

Mu Xingqiu's eyes left the mirror. The Fire Tree King took three steps back, and the black wood sword in his hand fell to the ground. "You, you... this is Zhibu State, I am... the Fire Tree King, the Fire Tree King..."

"everything?"

"Well, how do you know this piece of bark, and how do you know the queen's true identity?" Mu Xingqiu glanced at the head on the edge of the table. Although no one introduced him, he knew from the gorgeous clothes that it must be a stop. Queen Bang is also a soul changer.

King Huoshu glanced at the audience. He was careless. The nearest soldiers and ministers were more than ten steps away from him and could not help him at all. "Yes, it is the flawless ice mirror..."

The Fire Tree King's face turned a little red. He didn't expect that he would be so afraid that he would stutter in public. He took another step back to ease the fear in his heart and was able to speak fluently, "Zhibu Bang's prophecies are all stored in the flawless ice mirror. Come on." After that, I wanted to find out the prophecy about Taoist priests.”

The Fire Tree King glanced at the four large mirrors in the distance again, feeling a sense of panic that a cub was far away from its mother. "I found the prophecy, but the content of the prophecy was several times more. They are all things I have never seen before. Maybe they are Because Bing Jing saw you, he revealed the hidden content..."

"Tell me about these hidden contents." When Mu Xingqiu first got the small mirror, he noticed a powerful force surging inside, but it quickly disappeared. The flawless ice mirror was obviously loyal to the Fire Tree King and did not want to Work for others.

"The prophecy says... the prophecy says that the ancestral fire from the distant wilderness will use powerful power to seduce the first Taoist priest who arrives. The power must be related to trees. I saw you holding the bark in your hand, so..."

So the Fire Tree King became greedy, but this was not what Mu Xingqiu cared about, "Finish the prophecy."

"It is prophesied that the Taoist priests will accept the temptation, the ancestral fire of the distant wilderness will be extinguished, and the Zhibu Kingdom will also perish, but the Fire Tree King will usher in a new life, as long as he leaves here."

"Any more?"

"The prophecy told me of a passage out of the mountains to the east. That's it."

"Why didn't you leave?"

"Because you said that Talisman masters use soul-changing methods to occupy other people's bodies, I think of the queen... The queen also had poor health for a period of time, and her personality changed a lot, and she actually cared about the untouchables on the island. I want to expel the queen. The soul in her body, but she said it was too late, the queen's true soul had been taken out of Zhibu State and had been eliminated long ago. "

King Huoshu took one look at the queen's head and felt angry. With the help of Wuxia Bingjing, he asked for the truth. After hesitating for a long time, he finally made up his mind to kill the queen's body.

"The golem you brought went crazy. I suppressed it with a flawless ice mirror and ordered all the untouchables on the island to cross the shore. I thought you would follow, but you came by yourself, holding... … Holding this thing, I want to know what is the great power that can seduce Taoist priests. "

"What are you going to do with those islanders?"

"The meaning of their existence is to plant trees to stop the fire. Since the fire is about to go out, they are useless. I will kill them all, and then lead the soldiers to leave the Zhibu State from the east." The Fire Tree King regretted a little, He should leave Zhibu State directly according to the prophecy, instead of coveting the "temptation" in the hands of Taoist priests.

"What do you think of this prophecy?" Mu Xingqiu suddenly asked loudly.

The Fire Tree King and the soldiers in the audience were all stunned, and then they followed Mu Xingqiu's gaze and saw a crow flew in from nowhere, circled around, and landed on the Fire Tree King's helmet. The king immediately felt like he was carrying a heavy mountain, and he could not even move his fingertips.

"Hahaha, this is not a prophecy. This is clearly a life-saving trick left by Taoism to the Fire Tree King. Unfortunately, he is too greedy. He was tempted before the Taoist priest was tempted. Haha, ridiculous, haha, extremely ridiculous."

"What about this?" Mu Xingqiu raised the black bark in his hand.

"Good thing. I wish someone would tempt me with it, but it's yours."

"Take it." Mu Xingqiu handed the bark to the crow, "Since it is mine, I have the right to give it to anyone."

The crow flew up and circled in mid-air, laughing and saying, "I don't dare to ask for a treasure that is specially designed to seduce Taoist priests."

"I want it," the Fire Tree King said. He had been staring at the twigs on the black bark for a long time, and the more he looked at them, the more adorable they became.

Mu Xingqiu did not answer, but the Fire Tree King could no longer suppress the urgency in his heart. He snatched the black bark, raised it under his nose, and gently smelled the newly grown twig.

The crow was circling in the air, getting faster and faster. Mu Xingqiu took a few steps back and reached the edge of the stage. All the soldiers under the stage looked up, all staring at the Fire Tree King.

In an inexplicable tense atmosphere, one of the two teardrop-like leaves on the top of the twig fell off.
