Exorcism

Mu Xingqiu was floating in the air, watching his relatives grow old little by little. He knew that this would affect his state of mind, but he still couldn't look away.

Mu Xingqiu has been trapped here for nearly two years. It has been more than a year since he began to support the entire Zhibu Kingdom with his mental illusions. Everything around him has changed.

The Fire Island in the west is as red as a gem. The fire is not bigger, but has shrunk a little, and the heat emitted is more. The whole sea is boiling, and rich steam rises. The aura of heaven and earth is different from the unclean gas. The continuous fusion made the Dao fire burn brighter and stronger, and also allowed Mu Xingqiu to cast spells continuously.

The number of large and small illusions in the white steam has increased to more than 500, each of which is filled with various spells and sorcery. Under the influence of phaseless ripples and harsh environments, the spells undergo violent deformation, and sometimes Even the caster himself cannot be recognized. Their function is to absorb the heat of Tao fire and the pressure of Taoism prohibition to ensure the safety of the great illusion.

Until now, Mu Xingqiu has been able to hold on. In this life-and-death race, he is still in the lead, but the pursuers behind him are getting closer and closer, and his advantage is dwindling.

The Great Illusion was wrapped in a lightning net several feet thick, as red as burning charcoal, with no gaps, and only the Third Eye could penetrate it.

The closer you are to the Lightning Network, the faster time passes, so the spells inside are fully mixed and become more complex, which directly causes the time in the Great Illusion to be erratic, with the passing speed jumping up and down between several times to hundreds of times the normal time.

Fortunately, the residents in the illusion knew nothing about this. For them, life was as usual, starting at sunrise and resting at sunset. There was almost no change in the past few decades. The number of residents increased and the fields expanded to all directions.

Mr. Tie has passed away, and the funeral was extremely grand, with almost all the residents attending. It was after his death that the residents in the Great Illusion gradually forgot about their former stop state and the outside world, and fell in love with the simple and plain life. Therefore, the Talisman Class Cancel, there are too many materials missing in the illusion, and the talisman is really useless.

Mu Xingqiu's younger brother Erqiu married a wife and had children, and lost the determination and enthusiasm of his youth. The Lei tribe still gathered often and talked about harvests and children instead of freedom and the unknown.

A small dot flew out of the lightning net of the Great Illusion. It was Mr. Yishi. He occasionally entered it to get some food for Mu Xingqiu. He was very reluctant to this task and complained several times every time he came back. This This time is no exception. He flew through several layers of illusion to Mu Xingqiu, holding a wooden plate in his hand with a piece of snow-white rice cake on it, but his face was covered with dark clouds.

"Hey, I am the Demon Lord of All Souls. I have lived for more than two thousand years. I have the same memory and wisdom as the Taoist priest Fu Yuemang, but I am reduced to serving tea and water to a little bug like you."

The plate flew to Mu Xingqiu's mouth, and he muttered "thank you" vaguely while eating. He had long been accustomed to Yishijun's complaints and did not argue or talk to him.

Mr. Yishi will not shut up just because he is bored, "Since I have become a slave, you should be aware of your shame, be brave, and practice hard. Tell me, how is your progress now?"

"The inner alchemy star is at the seventh level, and the illusion is at the eighth level." This was the third time Mu Xingqiu gave the same answer. He knew that Mr. Yishi would not be satisfied, but he had no choice but to tell the truth.

Mr. Yishi didn't even sigh anymore, his face was as gloomy as if a rainstorm was about to happen, "This is the highest state you have ever reached before."

Mu Xingqiu nodded.

"Look, here's the problem. So far, you have been recovering your strength, so you are making rapid progress. It will be very difficult for you to make further progress. If you continue like this, you will be able to reach the inner elixir in the next few years. The ninth level of concentration and illusion is considered a miracle..."

"Don't worry." Mu Xingqiu took the last bite of the rice cake and blew the plate towards Yishi Jun. He didn't have to eat again within a month.

Mu Xingqiu is always so unhurried. At best, he is confident and calm; at worst, he is helpless and pretending to be calm. Mr. Yishi once believed it was the former, but now he is slowly leaning towards the latter.

"Ah -" Mr. Yishi shouted at the top of his lungs, "I'm so stupid, I actually believed in the plan made by a little insect. His is not self-confidence at all, just arrogance... I won't wait any longer, I want to go to the Great Illusion Land Become king and dominate, kill people to relieve boredom..."

Lord Yishi flew away, but Mu Xingqiu did not call him and continued to cast spells and practice, knowing that Lord Yishi would have to come back later.

Mu Xingqiu controlled an unintentional spell and used it to directly practice the true illusory inner elixir, thereby avoiding the influence of the emotional tribulation. The spiritual energy here is abundant, even if it is taken by Rimang Taoist priest, it is enough, but he has not had it for two months. Raising the realm, for ordinary Taoist priests, this is a normal thing, but for Mu Xingqiu, who has little time left, it is an unacceptable failure.

But he will not panic when encountering obstacles like Mr. Yishi. He is persisting in his practice and thinking of ways. In the past few days, his eyes have often been cast on Fire Island, where there is a sacred tree with unfathomable strength. , Mu Xingqiu once thought of using it as a magic weapon to help him practice, but the Tao fire was too strong, and he could no longer enter the sacred tree, and the existence of the sacred tree could not be sensed from the outside.

Mu Xingqiu had a plan. First, he had to upgrade his illusion skills to the ninth level, so that he could perform more sophisticated telepathy illusions. Perhaps he could penetrate the Dao Fire and draw some help from the sacred tree.

The practice of high-level Taoist priests must rely on treasure-level instruments, and Mu Xingqiu's hope lies in this.

Lord Yishi flew back faster than Mu Xingqiu expected. The cloud on his face had dissipated, replaced by confusion, "Weird, really strange..."

"What's wrong?" Mu Xingqiu would occasionally ask cooperatively.

"Remember the little illusion to the north?"

"Yes." Of course Mu Xingqiu will not forget that there are a large number of wooden figures and stone figures in the small illusion. They are all magic weapons and officials in the old illusion of Zhiyu State. Mu Xingqiu once used them to test the many possibilities of the Wuxin curse. .

"The human form illusion was originally poured into the wood and stone by the Taoist priests in advance. To prevent the confusion of spells in the country, the illusion may have been accidentally triggered." Mu Xingqiu guessed.

"I think there's something else going on. I have to go and take a look." Mr. Yishi shook his head disdainfully, never accepting the "little bug's" statement easily, and turned around and flew away again.

Mr. Yishi also practiced very hard. He used the soul demon elixir to nourish the Taoist inner elixir in his Dantian, and the effect was quite good. Now he has reached the seventh level of swallowing smoke. However, as his level increases, the nourishing effect of the soul elixir becomes worse and worse. This is also the reason why he is in a bad mood, and he has to do some mischief from time to time to calm down.

This is what it is like to practice the Taoist inner elixir without the heart of a Taoist priest. When the soul elixir is no longer useful, Mr. Yishi will also face the contradiction between Taoist calamity and cultivation. He has never thought of a solution.

About an hour later, Ishi-kun came back. He was not the only one, but there were dozens of humans chasing him.

Yishijun's inner elixir is only the seventh level of swallowing smoke, but he also has soul elixirs and ancestral fire sticks, and is proficient in a large number of spells and sorcery. There are hidden demon weapons and traps everywhere in Zhibo State - this is his deep-rooted One of those habits, I never thought it would actually come in handy.

Lord Yishi flies in circles, and every time he casts a spell, one of his pursuers will be hit, but those humans are still chasing after him.

Mu Xingqiu knew clearly that those humans were just the result of the changes in the Five Elements Water illusion, but he was still surprised. They were so real, they looked no different from the real humans in the Great Illusion.

For hundreds of thousands of years, the old illusion of Zhibu State has been able to exist because the Great Light Mirror of Zhaoshan has continuously provided mana. Now that the support has been cut off, no more mana can enter Zhibo State. The five elements of water in those wooden and stone magic tools Even if the illusion is activated, it seems that it shouldn't be so perfect.

A quarter of an hour later, Mr. Yishi eliminated all the pursuers. The wooden and stone magic weapons fell into the steaming sea and would soon disappear completely.

Mr. Yishi flew to Mu Xingqiu and said, "You see, I deliberately brought out a group of humans for you to see. There is something wrong with the little illusion. I suspect... the sacred tree is causing trouble."

"The sacred tree will not do anything on its own initiative."

"It's hard to say. When life and death are at stake, it may develop the will to protect itself. Maybe it thinks: It's impossible for living creatures. This time it just supports a group of dummies. They are honest and obedient and don't always want to kill gods and trees. ”

Mu Xingqiu laughed and said, "I know what you mean. If the illusionist gets the help of the sacred tree, it is possible to break the Taoist restrictions, and then you can take the opportunity to escape."

"Don't call me so selfish. If I can escape, I will naturally take you out, but..." A very disproportionate evil smile appeared on Lord Yishi's majestic face, "You have three true phantom inner elixirs. Give me one."

"Okay." Mu Xingqiu was able to accept the inner elixir given by the dragon demon because they had practiced together. He wanted to know if Mr. Yishi had this ability.

"Hey, don't think that I don't know what you are thinking..." Mr. Yishi frowned, "Hey, another dummy flew out of the little illusion. What happened? I closed it very tightly."

"He has arrived." Mu Xingqiu said.

The environment in Zhibo State is too complicated, and all spells will deform and lose some effectiveness after traveling a certain distance. Mr. Ishi just noticed that something was wrong, and the dummy that flew out of the small illusion had already come into sight, right behind him.

Ishi-kun turned around, looked at the person coming hundreds of steps away, and said in surprise: "You... are not an illusion dummy, you are a real half-demon!"

The visitor's appearance has obvious semi-demon characteristics. He is wearing a sorcerer's robe, and his thick black hair hangs down to his feet. It has obviously not been repaired for many years.

The half-demon looked about forty years old, with a haggard appearance and a confused expression. It took him a while before he spoke, "What happened in Zhibu State? How did it become like this?"

"Let me tell you your origin first. Are you controlling the little illusion? There is actually a little bug hiding in the Zhibu State. It's really unexpected." Lord Yishi said majestically.

"Little bug?" the half-demon murmured, suddenly raising his head, his eyes gleaming, "I am the prince of Shishen. My name is Tuo Kaicheng. Please tell me your names."

Mr. Yishi had never heard of the name "Tuo Kaicheng", but Mu Xingqiu was shocked. What Prince Shishen said two years ago immediately appeared in his mind.
