Exorcism

Grandmaster Fang Xunmo was hit on the chin by a small pink fist. He raised his head slightly to appreciate the strange feeling.

Yang Qingyin immediately reached out to take the baby back and retreated to the door of the tent. The bald man was blocking the front, looking ready to fight. Mother Yang was frightened and inexplicable. After a moment of hesitation, she stood next to her daughter.

The other high-ranking Taoist priests remained calm, as if nothing had happened, and continued to focus on casting spells to control the erratic fireball in the air.

There was only one good thing for Yang Qingyin. The baby stopped crying, and no longer kicked or punched it. Instead, it stared at the fireball in the air and stretched out her hands to reach for it. Yang Qingyin had to hug him tightly because she had no guilt. Dan, his strength became much smaller, and he felt that the baby was so strong, as if it would fly out of his arms at any time.

Fang Xunmo suddenly laughed and took back the magic-suppressing clock floating on his shoulder. The clock became much smaller, like a toy, "It's okay."

The other sixteen high-ranking Taoist priests each took back their magical weapons. The fireballs in the air had been gathering momentum for a long time, and they shot out like arrows from a string, flying hundreds of feet over the frozen water in an instant.

When senior Taoist priests were confused, they would glance at each other and wait patiently. If they should know something, the Patriarch would explain it to them. If they should not know, it would be useless to ask.

The fireball flew all the way north, and there was a faint sound of cracking in the ice sea below. The baby looked at the fireball persistently, and Yang Qingyin had no choice but to turn around, thus turning her back to the ancestor.

The Patriarch seemed to have forgotten the punch just now, but the bald man still felt uneasy, "Um... Grandmaster, you won't hold grudges against the child's punch, right? He was just born, doesn't understand anything, doesn't know anyone, he thinks you are He’s just a strange old man.”

"I don't have the feeling of 'holding a grudge.'" Fang Xunmo also looked at the fire and said flatly.

"But you have other emotions, and you also like to secretly cause trouble behind your back." Even Yang's mother turned around and looked at the fire. Only the bald man was still staring at the ancestor, "Maybe you will let someone else take revenge for you, and then this person still thinks that everything is wrong. It was my own idea. Now I feel that this child is not very obedient and should be taught a lesson. To be honest, did you put this idea in my head?

Fang Xunmo smiled, "If I stuffed it in, how could you be suspicious?"

The bald man was confused again. At this moment, there was a loud noise from behind, which attracted him.

The fireball had already rushed into the solid giant wave that towered over the sky. After a while, it turned around and returned, rushing out of a hole again. In this way, the roaring sound was endless, the giant wave shook slightly, and the ice surface for hundreds of miles was also making creaking sounds.

"Wow, will Brother Xiaoqiu be able to come out as soon as the big wave breaks?" The bald man reacted quickly at this time, and he was so excited that he even wanted to fly to check.

Others had similar doubts, but the founder didn't say a word, and they didn't speak either. Only Yang Qingyin took a step towards the shore with hope, but she didn't lose her reason and murmured: "The huge waves have loopholes, but nothing comes out of them." , This shows...This shows..."

"Zhibu Bang is no longer behind the huge wave." Mother Yang patted her daughter twice and said with certainty: "Mu Xingqiu can't come out. Zhibu Bang was sealed by the nine great treasures of Taoism at the same time. It is not possible for any magic to come out." broken.”

Yang Qingyin bit her lip and said nothing, but Baldy was a little dissatisfied and whispered: "That's not necessarily the case."

The fireball went back and forth and knocked dozens of holes in the huge waves. Finally, there was a loud noise, the huge waves collapsed, and shock waves came. The North Sea ice surface was completely broken into pieces, and the island shook violently, as if the ship was about to capsize. Although the bald man was floating in the air, he felt the vibration, and his expression couldn't help but change.

After a long time, the vibration disappeared, and the sea surface was filled with broken ice. The wonders created by the nine Taoist treasures no longer existed, but behind the huge waves was still a vast ocean without islands or human traces.

Zhibu Bang disappeared entirely.

The bald man was dejected, and Yang Qingyin also sighed softly. She had expected this, but she was still a little disappointed.

The fireball flew back and floated three feet in the air above the baby's head, glaring at the high-ranking Taoist priest on the island like a fearless eye.

Patriarch Fang Xunmo finally explained, "This son has a divine soul."

"Ah." Yang Qingyin turned around and faced the Patriarch, "Has the soul reached him?"

The soul comes from Fangfang, and has possessed Feng Ruhui, Longmo and Yang Qingyin successively, and this time it has entered the baby's body.

Fang Xunmo nodded, "You and Mu Songxuan once felt Mu Xingqiu's emotions because of the help of nine treasures. Later, Mu Xingqiu was able to detect your and the baby's emotions because of the soul."

"Can he feel me?" Yang Qingyin asked excitedly, she knew nothing about it.

"To be precise, it is the Frost Soul Sword that feels it. The soul in the sword can feel the emotions of whomever the spirit is in, because they are one."

"Qin Lingshuang." Yang Qingyin said the name softly, her heart filled with gratitude.

Baldy listened half understood and half confused, and interjected: "Is the sword soul Fangfang's soul? From what you said, it seems like she is still alive. I remember Brother Xiaoqiu said that the reason why Fangfang's soul is different , just because of the soul, if she cuts off the connection by herself, isn't that the same as committing suicide? "

"I can no longer see the situation in Zhibu State, so I can only make some guesses. The sword soul must have found a way to protect itself. The soul is no longer needed, so the soul was burned."

"Burn?" Bald Zi and Yang Qingyin asked at the same time, both hearing a hint of ominousness.

"I have no way of knowing the specific situation. The sword soul probably used its special connection with the divine soul to activate the remote ancestral fire in Zhibu State, and made an exact copy of it in the divine soul. As a result, the divine soul became the remote ancestral fire. It’s the Tao fire that leaves the baby’s body.”

Fang Xunmo looked at the other high-ranking Taoist priests, "No spells have been spread out of Zhibu State. The restriction is still safe. The connection between the sword soul and the divine soul has been severed, and no strange things will happen in the future."

Pangshan Grand Master Yang Yannian took a step forward, "The Nine Daoist Leaders have already reached an agreement. Whoever finds the soul first will own the soul. Yang Qingyin is a Taoist priest of Pangshan, so the soul belongs to Pangshan, and the same goes for this Taoist fire."

Yang Qingyin snorted and stared down at her child. The baby had fallen asleep, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and the smile was a bit like Mu Xingqiu's. At this time, she only cares about this little thing. As for the divine soul fire, anyone can take it away.

It was rare for a high-ranking Taoist priest to show any cracks in front of outsiders. Yang Yannian's declaration of rights was not recognized by all Taoist priests. Yashan Grandmaster Shen Zangqi was the first to express his objection, "When the agreement was originally reached, the founder was not here, and many Taoist traditions were I don’t even know. It seems that there are many loopholes in the agreement and there is no need to abide by it. Otherwise, Pangshan once exchanged the right to choose disciples from Yashan. Should he still continue to implement it? "

The Taoist tradition is about to retire as a whole, and the so-called right to choose disciples has become meaningless. Yang Yannian was speechless for a moment. Shen Zangqi nodded to the Taoist priests and solemnly said: "The ownership of the divine soul and Taoist fire can only be decided by the ancestor."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone had no objection. Yang Yannian was slightly annoyed. He was the lowest and most junior among the nine masters. He was at a disadvantage in this debate, which made him very dissatisfied.

Fang Xunmo looked up at the fireball, then looked down at the baby, and repeated three times, saying: "This fire cannot be kept."

Yang Yannian resisted the urge and did not speak, but Shen Zangqi felt regretful, "The Divine Soul Dao Fire can break the restriction. Although it is only a shell, its power cannot be underestimated. Is it..."

Fang Xunmo shook his head, "This is Dao Fire, but it is not pure. Even though it is copied, it may still contain the power of the sacred tree. It must not be left behind. It must not be left behind."

Shen Zangqi bowed and retreated. Although he couldn't bear it, he stopped trying to persuade him.

"Taoist Yang, please return to the tent. No matter what happens outside, you must keep an eye on the baby and don't let him come out." Fang Xunmo said politely.

Yang Qingyin nodded, walked to the tent door and turned around again. She held the baby in one hand and made the Tao Fire Jue with the other hand, and gave the Taoist ceremony to the ancestor. Fang Xunmo did not doubt the baby, and she was very grateful.

Yang's mother also entered the account. Her daughter had no inner elixir and needed her help to control the baby.

The bald man stood guard at the door as usual, trusting no one.

The divine soul fire followed the baby and floated over the tent.

Fang Xunmo did not rush to take action, but observed for a while, then called a Taoist priest over, took off the long hairpin on his head, and handed it to him along with a small cloth bag.

All the high-ranking Taoist priests were startled. They came over at the same time and stood opposite the Patriarch. Their faces, which had long been used to being calm, now showed rich expressions.

The Taoist priest who was first called over was from Wangshan. Taking over the long hairpin meant taking over the duties of Wangshan's master. The small cloth bag contained all of Fang Xunmo's belongings, including Wangshan's most precious treasure, the Magic Bell.

This is not an ordinary entrustment, but more like an explanation of funeral arrangements.

"I have reached the age of extinction. It is better to choose a day than to hit it. Today is it." Fang Xunmo slowly rose into the air, level with the Divine Soul Dao Fire.

The lifespan of high-level Taoist priests is not unlimited. They can usually foresee their own demise and make preparations in advance to die with the most peaceful attitude. Fang Xunmo did live for a long time, but he was still a few years away from the average lifespan of a Yuemang Taoist priest, so there was no need to die so early.

But no one asked. The Patriarch would not make fun of high-level Taoist priests. He said that the year of annihilation has arrived, so that means it has arrived.

Fang Xunmo stretched out his hand to cast a spell, and the fireball slowly moved towards him, "The Taoist fire will not go out, and the founder is just a fire-watching boy. I have exhausted my strength and cannot protect the Taoist lineage from retreating, and I will not be able to lead the Taoist lineage to fight against the demons in the future. Arrangements have been made for Taotong's retirement. Please follow the instructions. As for the thirty-eighth generation of Patriarch, there is no need to rush to elect him. The first one to reach the realm of Fu Rimang is the Patriarch. Yes, it is Fu Rimang. I have foreseen the revival of Taoism. There will be great Taoist priests who can rival previous generations."

The Divine Soul Dao Fire burned the Patriarch, and Fang Xunmo instantly became a fireman. His voice came out of the fire, still calm and composed, "Everything has a destiny, and any destiny can be broken."

"The fire of Tao is never extinguished."
