Exorcism

At the end of September, Yangshen Peak held its last ancestral meditation before selecting disciples for this year. The disciples' practice results were confirmed. Fifteen days later, they will embark on different paths. Some may never have the chance to meet again in their lifetime.

The calm atmosphere of Yangshen Peak was temporarily interrupted. There were people saying goodbye to each other everywhere in the secluded forest. Some people even cried bitterly. The new disciples who had nothing to do with the selection of disciples dismissed this and always avoided the old disciples while walking, secretly making a decision in their hearts. When he was about to leave Yangshen Peak, he would never be so rude and crying. How could he look like a cultivator?

In fact, the old disciples thought the same way two years ago. When things came to a close, they couldn't control their emotions.

There was no homework in the afternoon of the Ancestral Day, so eight teenagers from Yelin Town gathered in Banyuelin to hold a small farewell ceremony. Under the strong request of Daliang Shen Xiuming, Fangfang did not bring Xiao Qingtao.

"It's Yelin Town, there are no outsiders." Daliang stood on the boulder. He is sixteen years old, the oldest among his friends, but it is the first time he speaks as a big brother. He knows that this is probably the last time. , "Some people call us devils, some people say we are lucky. No matter what, I am proud of everyone in Yelin Town."

There were tears in Daliang's eyes. Everyone felt ridiculous at first, but when they thought of Daliang's brother, everyone felt the same sadness.

Daliang pointed at his companions and introduced the results of his practice one by one, without using nicknames, "Qin Lingshuang, Huotong Niwan Palace has not survived the heavenly tribulation, and is second only to Gong Miao among the female disciples."

Fangfang smiled shyly and raised her hand to cover her mouth out of habit, "You forgot Cheng Jia, she is the perfect calamity."

"She is a fourth-year disciple. She stayed for one more year, so it doesn't count." Daliang waved his hand boldly, and the tears in his eyes disappeared, "You have done a good job for our Yelin Town. There are two so-called daughters of the Taoist sect. I was very good at boasting before, but in the end my practice results were not as good as yours. Don’t let them chase you in the future.”

Everyone applauded and praised, but Fangfang just laughed and said nothing more.

"Mu Xingqiu - let's call him Brother Xiaoqiu." Daliang is one year older than Xiaoqiu, but he has gotten used to it over the years. "The first Huotong Santian, the Heavenly Tribulation was completed a little later, so it's the same as Shen Ji. After a tie, Yelin Town's biggest pride must be him.

Everyone applauded louder, Xiaoqiu grinned.

"Shen Hao, Huotong Santian Heavenly Tribulation has not yet been completed. To be honest, I think you can do better. It should be until the Heavenly Tribulation is completed."

Shen Hao looked up at Daliang unconvinced, put his hands on his hips, and said loudly: "Don't worry, the outcome has not yet been determined. Brother Xiaoqiu, let's make a bet. You will survive the catastrophe earlier than me, but if you condense the energy into Dan I'll be faster than you."

"Yes, we need this energy!" Daliang added fuel to the fire happily, "What are you betting on?"

A group of homeless teenagers, of course, had nothing of value. Shen Hao thought for a while and said, "Bet a copper coin that Li Yuechi left one for each of us."

"Okay, let's bet on this." Xiaoqiu's interest also rose. At this moment, he even forgot about the hidden dangers of the young demon.

"Mu Feihuang, Huotong Xia Dantian has been through the disaster, and the results are not bad." Daliang continued to introduce.

Mu Feihuang smiled slightly. Ever since Xiaoqiu discovered the whistleblower, he had become less talkative and more honest.

"Guan Jinwu and Zhao Dayi, Huotong Xia Dantian Earth Tribulation has not yet been completed, and they have already surpassed the average disciples, at least better than me." Daliang sighed, Guan and Zhao laughed, they were quite satisfied with their results,

He has decided to stay at Yangshen Peak to continue practicing and strive to enter Laozu Peak within the next two years.

"Shen Tongyou and Shen Xiuming, a pair of brothers in distress, managed to open up seven orifices. They did not bring glory to Yelin Town, but it is not a shame, right? You must remember that in the same year, there were more than 140 people, and there were more than 50 people who were not as successful. Here are the two of us." Daliang said and smiled sheepishly, raising his hand to scratch the back of his head.

Shen Tongyou blushed and shouted: "I want to stay at Yangshen Peak, and next year I will be able to clear the three fields!"

Daliang sighed again, "Whether we go to Laozu Peak or stay in Yangshen Peak, we are all from Yelin Town. No relatives are gone, and we are just one family. Now no one can say that the demons in Yelin Town are... You are just lucky. You are lucky to have Taoism. Is it also lucky to practice faster?”

"No!" Several teenagers shouted at the same time.

"You will all be Pangshan Taoist priests from now on, and you may be able to become the first one or something, but I can't do it. I am not born to practice. I have tried hard but failed. I am very satisfied if I can open the seven orifices." Daliang didn't. Fang Fang didn't want to think of his younger brother. If Erliang was still here, his cultivation achievements would definitely be among the best. He held back his words, but his voice was choked with sobs, "I'm going to Zhiyong Institute to be an ordinary person, but I won't forget you, no matter where I go from now on." , I would tell people I know, 'I have a group of brothers, and I also have a sister who is a Taoist priest from Pangshan. Please don't mess with me.'"

Everyone laughed at first, and I don't know who started it, but suddenly they all started crying. Daliang cried especially hard, but he still refrained from saying his brother's name.

In the end, Daliang was the first to stop crying, jumped off the boulder, took the arms of Xiaoqiu and Shen Hao, and came to Fangfang, "You three are going to Laozu Peak. Brother Xiaoqiu is from the Forbidden Secret Department. Shen Hao is from the Discipline Department and Fangfang is from the Chanting Department. I know there must be more rules there, but I hope you can see each other more often and don't get into trouble. "

The three of them nodded solemnly, with tears still shining in Fangfang's eyes.

Daliang pushed Xiaoqiu towards Fangfang, pulled Shen Hao aside, and said seriously: "Don't see each other too often."

"I'm afraid it will delay your practice, and I'll only take care of you this time. I won't have the chance to take care of you in the future." Daliang said with a smile.

Shen Hao glanced at Xiaoqiu and Fangfang who were whispering to each other, and said helplessly: "If we talk about seeing each other too often, it's them."

"Although they haven't married, they are married, so of course they can see each other all the time, and it's better to see each other every day."

Shen Hao curled his lips, "Ordinary ties must be cut off, and Taoist ties don't last long. You still want them to... Forget it, it's none of your business, and none of mine."

The gathering in Yelin Town ended, and the parting mood in Yangshen Peak continued. The only ones who remained indifferent were the Taoist disciples. For Shen Ji, nothing changed. Only once, he walked in front of Xiaoqiu before the concentrated meditation class and performed the Taoist etiquette. Since he apologized more than two years ago, he spoke to Xiaoqiu for the first time, "Daoist Mu Xingqiu, I hope to see you in the Five Elements Department."

"We will see each other again, not necessarily in the Five Elements Department." Xiaoqiu said calmly. He has never forgotten Erliang's death, but he has determined that his enemy is Shen Geng, and will not turn to others.

In two years, Shen Geng will end his reflection.

After Shen Ji left, Daliang whispered, "What a hypocritical guy. He wants you to enter the Forbidden Secrets Department so that the Five Elements Department will choose him in the first round. I heard that he only recognizes the Five Elements Department and is even willing to be selected in the second round." Xiaoqiu hesitated again. He liked the Five Elements Department and liked the life of slaying demons and monsters. The most important thing was that Shen Jixing, the head of the Five Elements Department, looked like a good Taoist priest and would not easily use mind control on his apprentice. The young demon was still a big worry for Xiaoqiu. But he had made a promise and could not change his words. Lin Sa liked this disciple very much. Yang Baozhen did not take special care of his own son. It was well known that Lindujiao favored Mu Xiangqiu. In the last half month, the Five Elements Department still did not give up the fight for Xiaoqiu. Yang Baozhen spoke a few more words to the young man for the first time, "You are a very smart disciple, but you are not suitable for the Forbidden Secrets Department." Her voice was very sincere. Xiaoqiu could hardly believe that this was Yangdujiao. "The Forbidden Secret Department does know the most about the demon species, but they are only researching, not fighting face to face. Even if one day you find a way to completely eliminate the demon species, it is the Taoist priests of the Five Elements Department who will implement this method." Yang Baozhen added for no reason, "Li Yuechi died in the hands of the demon species." "I am not a person who goes back on his word." Xiaoqiu said that although it was very regretful that he could not enter the Five Elements Department, being able to keep a distance from the Shen family was also a kind of compensation. "Go back on your word? Yes, everyone doesn't like people who go back on their words." Yang Baozhen finally gave up persuading, but the last tone was somewhat meaningful. Sun Yulu, the head teacher of Luanjing Mountain, did not participate in the fight, but once during class, he inexplicably said to Xiaoqiu, "No matter what, Luanjing Mountain welcomes you." Xiaoqiu knew that Luanjing Mountain would never welcome the young demon. He had no tricks to do, and he was even prepared to confess the truth to the head monk as soon as he entered the Forbidden Secret Department. Zuo Liuying had once had the experience of fantasizing about his wife, so he might understand his situation. Therefore, w. .cWhen the selection of disciples finally began, Xiaoqiu felt more relieved than anyone else.

The selection ceremony has been affecting the lives of disciples since the beginning of the year, but the whole process is very simple. Nearly 200 disciples of three years and above gathered in the Sizu Hall that afternoon, sitting on the futon, facing the huge bronze bell.

More than a dozen disciples lined up in a row. Lin Sa was the host. He first led the disciples to recite the Sizu Sutra, then picked up a wooden hammer with a very long handle and gently knocked on the bronze bell.

The sound of the bell was low and echoed in the Sizu Hall. Suddenly, a human figure appeared on the bell like a mirror. Pangshan Grandmaster Ning Qiwei sat upright, chanted the Ten Commandments for Training Disciples, and then disappeared.

Lin Sa announced the start of the selection of disciples, picked up the wooden hammer and knocked on the bell again.

The first place this year was the Forbidden Secret Department. The image of the chief Zuo Liuying appeared on the bell. Most disciples saw him for the first time. Although they had heard of him for a long time, they were still shocked by his young appearance, but they did not dare to speak out.

Facing the bronze bell, Xiaoqiu rehearsed the feeling of confessing to the head monk in advance, and found that it was a very difficult thing. He was still wary of Zuo Liuying, and his vigilance did not decrease at all.

Zuo Liuying lowered his eyes, as if he was very unhappy about this disciple selection. After waiting for a while, a female voice came from behind him:

"Qin Lingshuang."

Lin Sa, who was holding a long-handled wooden hammer, was stunned. Fangfang and Xiaoqiu, who were sitting on the futon, were stunned. All the disciples were stunned. The disciple chosen by the Forbidden Secret Department was obviously Mu Xingqiu, so why did he call out another name?
