Exorcism

The teardrop-like leaves fell off the twigs and fell on the black bark. With a hiss, they really disappeared into the dry bark like teardrops.

The Fire Tree King felt dizzy, his feet were unsteady, and his body swayed twice.

"If you don't take action, you won't have a chance." The crow said loudly in the air.

Lord Yishi wanted to seize the Fire Tree King's memory, but Mu Xingqiu did not take action. He was observing, feeling a little weird in his heart, but for a while he couldn't find the reason for the weirdness.

The crow landed on the Fire Tree King's head again, "Then I'm going to do it myself."

The Fire Tree King was still swaying slightly, seemingly unaware of the bird above him, and only stared at the withering twig, as if his own life was also withering.

The crow turned to the soldiers in the audience, "Ignorant bugs, you are free. Although you don't understand what freedom is and don't deserve it, freedom still falls on you, just like me now, quack. Put down your weapons and keep your eyes open, and you will see that the Fire Tree King is not omnipotent, he is just a fool with a relatively long lifespan."

The crow flew up a little, used its claws and beak together, and pushed the Fire Tree King's crown to the ground. The soldiers in the audience let out the first cry of surprise, but no one moved, because the Fire Tree King himself did not move, his long hair was disheveled, and his gaze But it didn't move even half a minute.

The crow landed on the Fire Tree King's head again, and with a quick peck, it pierced into the Fire Tree King's head. The soldiers let out a second cry of surprise, and many raised their javelins.

"It tastes weird." There was a little blood on the crow's beak. He shook his head, flapped his wings, and vomited twice. "Weird, so weird. Even a dog has the memory of its ancestors hidden in its flesh and blood." , Why is there no King of Fire Trees? Is he an illegitimate child? But illegitimate children must have ancestors..."

Mu Xingqiu was staring at the small mirror in his hand. The ice-like mirror reflected his face, which was sometimes clear and sometimes blurry. Just when Crow was wondering about Fire Tree King's life experience, the face in the mirror disappeared, showing a A spinning inner elixir, it emits thousands of rays of light, pouring down like a fountain.

This is Mu Xingqiu's inner elixir. Because of the Demon Lord's Dharma rectification, his inner elixir has been dissolving and integrated with his flesh and blood.

There used to be a mirror that could also reflect the form of the inner elixir. Mu Xingqiu turned to look at the flawless ice mirror in the distance and murmured: "Zhaoshan Great Light Mirror."

Although the shape and texture are completely different, Zhibu Bang's flawless ice mirror possesses one of the most important characteristics of the Great Light Mirror.

The fire tree king's head was bleeding, and his hair was dyed red, but he remained motionless. It was Lord Yishi who couldn't bear it. The crow flew up and down, jumping up and down on the wooden platform, "I've been fooled." , I was fooled, this is not the Fire Tree King, it is not a human at all, what on earth is it? Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..."

There was a crisp sound, and the mirror in Mu Xingqiu's hand broke into two halves. Then the sound continued, and cracks appeared on all four sides of the flawless ice mirror on the cliff.

Mu Xingqiu turned around in a circle and glanced around. He could see the night, the palace, the cliffs, the trees, the sea water, the isolated island, the flames, the king, the soldiers, the mirrors... everything was in view, and a thought suddenly popped into his mind, "The Far East." The guilty Taoist priests are imprisoned in the Xingshan Demonic Cave, the devils are imprisoned in the Wangshan Town Demonic Bell in the far north, and what is being suppressed in the Xingshan Treasure Tower in the far west? Is the Zhaoshan Great Light Tongjian Treasure Mirror in the far west guarding Zhibu State?"

"What did you say?" The crow seemed to have a rope tied to its feet. No matter how high it jumped, it could never fly, and its voice became hoarse. "Zhaoshan is thousands of miles away in the south. ...Ahem...what does it have to do with it?"

"It revealed my inner elixir." Mu Xingqiu threw away the broken mirror. It was useless.

Mr. Yishi was stunned for a moment and stood on one leg. "The Great Light Mirror can reveal the inner elixir of Taoist priests, so the Taoist tradition does not allow any Taoist priests to enter Zhibo State... There is no memory of ancestors in the blood of the Fire Tree King..."

"The entire Stop Country is an illusion!" Mu Xingqiu no longer had any doubts, "The Fire Tree King and his subjects are false, only everything on the island is real.

"What did I eat just now, bah bah..." The crow suddenly turned into a human form, kneeling on the ground and vomiting one after another.

The soldiers in the audience exclaimed for the third time. They didn't understand what Mu Xingqiu was saying at all. What surprised them was the crow.

The Fire Tree King slowly raised his head and stared at Mu Xingqiu, "Fake? Do you think we are fake? I am the 434th generation Fire Tree King of Zhibu State. I have the oldest king's title and throne in the world. The Talisman Master even managed to occupy two bodies, but you actually said we were fake? "

The blood on the top of his head had dyed half of the Fire Tree King's head red, but he didn't care at all and sneered.

"This is the most powerful Five Elements Water Illusion. It is both real and illusory. Of course the Talisman Master cannot see through it. They have been transporting goods here year after year and have long regarded this place as a pure reality." If not for Mu Xingqiu. I am also good at illusions, and I would never have thought that everything here was empty.

The flawless ice mirror had cracked, and the illusion was crumbling. As a result, Mu Xingqiu could see more and more flaws.

The Fire Tree King just sneered, how could Zhibu Bang be an illusion? He has a complete memory of more than 300 years, and possesses ambition, greed, enjoyment, hatred, love and other human emotions. Which one of them is false? "My lies are misleading, Taoist priest, let me tell you what is true and what is false. Soldier, attack! Attack immediately!"

The Fire Tree King issued orders in his most majestic voice. Normally, he could keep ministers and soldiers busy with just one look. His direct orders were never disobeyed, but once, the clear order failed.

The Fire Tree King looked at the audience and found that his soldiers were all standing there like statues, their bodies stiff and their eyes dull. The illusion first failed on them.

"Traitors, they are all traitors..." The Fire Tree King threw away the black bark, staggered around in a circle, ran to the edge of the stage and picked up the queen's head, "How could it be fake? Impossible, absolutely impossible …”

Mr. Yishi looked at the flawless ice mirror in the distance, "In order to hide my tracks, I have never swallowed any human or demon meat in Zhibu State. Otherwise, I should have discovered the truth long ago... Ah, think about it carefully, who would be willing to Staying in such a small place for hundreds of thousands of years? Zhibu State has never been overly ambitious, and all the Fire Tree Kings have been easily satisfied."

Lord Yishi turned to Mu Xingqiu, "From the moment you entered the palace and were illuminated by the flawless ice mirror, the illusion has been changing. When the four mirrors are completely shattered, the illusion will disappear..."

"It will break into pieces as soon as the sun rises." The Fire Tree King said numbly, holding the queen's head in his hands, "The flawless ice mirror cannot see the sun. I originally planned to take them with me to leave the Zest State... What happened to the prophecy? ? Why show us a way out?"

"Do you believe that you are an illusion?" Mr. Yishi almost vomited and made up his mind to never eat randomly again.

The Fire Tree King did not answer this question, and could not even think about it. It would make him collapse immediately. "The Ice Mirror said that there is a passage out of the mountain to the east. The mirror image there does sometimes shake, just like the Southern Mirror."

"Haha, that's because I sneaked into Zhibo State. Think about it, did the shaking of the Eastern Mirror and the Southern Mirror happen in the last thousand years?"

The Fire Tree King shook his head, "Zhibu State has records that the number of shakings in the past thousand years has been slightly more, but the earliest shaking occurred tens of thousands of years ago... Taoist priest, tell me, is illusion a kind of magic?"

Mr. Yishi was surprised and frowned in thought.

Mu Xingqiu replied: "Well, Taoism and demons can create illusions. This is the first time I have seen such a realistic illusion as Zhibu Bang."

"This is the first time Zhibu Bang has seen you, and then he will be destroyed." The Fire Tree King looked up to the sky and laughed, hugging the queen's head tighter, and suddenly stopped laughing, "Zhibu Bang is not an illusion, no, Zhibu Bang It's an illusion. The whole world is an illusion. Are there really Longbinhui, Shengfu Dynasty and Shishen Kingdom? Are there really humans, monsters and demons? Are there really nine great traditions, and are there really Taoist priests? They are all illusions, so they are not illusions. Haha, Zhibu Bang’s dream is about to wake up, and your dream won’t last long!”

The Fire Tree King was already half crazy, but what he said was filled with cruel truth. Mu Xingqiu's heart moved. He had been practicing mind-reading illusions for a long time. He walked between reality and illusion all year round. Occasionally, he would have moments of confusion when he couldn't tell the difference between reality and reality. .

Mr. Yishi snorted from the side, "Little Taoist, you won't be so easily fooled, will you? There is a clear boundary between illusion and reality. No matter how powerful the illusion of Zhibu Bang is, it must abide by one rule: no contact with the outside world too much. So humans and monsters are not allowed to enter here at will. The demon slaves and people on the island are real, but the number cannot be too many. The total number must be controlled within 10,000. After all, the illusion is no match for reality. The more contact with reality. "

"Is there really reality outside?" the Fire Tree King said coldly, holding the queen's head and walking off the wooden platform, walking alone to the palace on the cliff. There was the only reality in his heart - the palace that had existed for hundreds of thousands of years. throne.

Mr. Yishi turned into a crow again, "No, I have to go to the east to check. The orthodoxy is playing tricks... Do you want to follow me?"

Mu Xingqiu shook his head, "I want to find other people in Yelin Town, and also bring all the demon slaves and people on the island. They are real."

"Meet at the palace at dawn, Mu Xingqiu, you have to make a decision as soon as possible whether you want to cooperate with us or not. I have a hunch that we don't have much time." The crow flew towards the east and soon passed the walking distance. The Fire Tree King.

There are more and more cracks on the flawless ice mirror, and the groups of soldiers are becoming more and more blurred. At a glance, it is no longer possible to tell the difference between them and the black wooden weapons in their hands.

Mu Xingqiu picked up the black bark on the ground and flew to the north of the remote peninsula. Mr. Yishi is right, there is a difference between fantasy and reality, and he must fly in reality.
