Exorcism

Both Zuo Liuying and Zhou Qi were once the leaders of the Forbidden Secret Division. One was from Pangshan and the other was based in Wangshan. They had known each other for a long time and could not be called friends, but they communicated frequently.

Senior Taoist priests have no friends. Their state of mind is close to perfection and they do not need others to fill it. However, in terms of magic, they still need to complement and cooperate with each other, especially in the Forbidden Secret Department, where the Taoist priests are at the forefront and deepest of magic. , even the Rimang Taoist priests cannot be foolproof, so whenever someone discovers a new spell, they will always invite Taoist priests from various Taoist traditions to evaluate the pros and cons.

Zuo Liuying mainly studies demons and has made great achievements. He often invites Taoist priests from the Forbidden Secret Department to visit Pangshan. Zhou Qi never fails to do so. As the oldest and highest-level leader of the Forbidden Secret Department in the Nine Dao Tradition, Zhou Qi has more possessions than any other. As for the position of leader, when everyone disagrees, he usually has the final say.

Zhou Qi once admired Zuo Liuying and supported the young junior many times. When Zuo Liuying invited his peers to report on real and illusory events, no one thought that this would be a plan left by Nianxinke. Zhou Qi stood on Zuo Liuying's side. The opposite of Liu Ying, who is more convinced than most Taoist priests of the Forbidden Secrets that true illusions are precursors to being possessed by demons, and advises Pang Shan to take early precautions.

In the eyes of high-level Taoist priests, decades are quite short. The scene back then seems like yesterday, but the person who became possessed was not Zuo Liuying, but Zhou Qi who made the prophecy.

However, in the eyes of outsiders, Zuo Liuying has changed even more. Neither being possessed by a demon nor being seriously injured have had a great impact on Zhou Qi's appearance. He is still a Taoist priest, even if he is just sitting on the back of a small donkey. , he still has an air of immortality. Zuo Liuying, on the other hand, wears a simple straw hat on his head, a farmer-like shorts and trousers, and holds a full-length bamboo stick in his right hand. He is more like a disguised escape man. A scholar, not the famous head of the Pangshan Forbidden Secret Department.

Zuo Liuying raised his head, revealing his face under the brim of his hat. He was as quiet and handsome as a virgin. Feifei has been practicing with Zuo Liuying for more than two years. Every time he sees him, he always has the urge to kneel down, but he can bear it. He stopped and just stepped aside respectfully.

The beast demon Lao Chong sat on the ground and turned his head. After staring for a while, he recognized who it was. He grinned, but still couldn't make a sound.

Zuo Liuying walked slowly to the edge of the cliff and looked down.

Zhou Qi narrowed his eyes slightly, "Would it be easier to condense the elixir again?"

"Harder.

"As I expected, that's why you chose to practice inner alchemy for the second time." Zhou Qi lowered his eyes, as if a teacher had heard that his most proud disciple abandoned literature and went into business. "I am very disappointed. The mountain is high and dangerous. You should be climbing hard, but you are taking a detour.”

"This mountain is not that mountain, it is still a mountain."

Lao Chuang curled his lips and nodded repeatedly. In fact, he didn't understand a word, but he just thought these two Taoist priests were quite interesting.

The conversation in the Forbidden Secret Section was over, and Zhou Qi asked: "Do you want to join the war?"

Zuo Liuying shook his head, "This is a fight, and no one will enter without a fight."

"Very good. Be careful." Zhou Qi looked down on the casual cultivator Zuo Liuying and said it away. Without looking at him again, he turned to look at the forty or so Taoist priests on the sea.

Among the Taoist priests, only Lan Qizhang saluted Zuo Liuying on the cliff from a distance. The others did not move. In any case, they could not cross the threshold between Taoism and casual cultivators.

"You have all received the blessings of the Taoist treasures and the Taoist priests, and your inner alchemy realm has improved a lot." Zhou Qi's voice was dull, as if he was reluctant to speak, "But there is no Taoist priest among you, you are all Xingluo. "

These forty-one Taoist priests who voluntarily stayed in the world used to be in the realm of eating rosy clouds or swallowing smoke. After being blessed, they were promoted to the first level of Xingluo to the seventh level of Xingluo. It is not that the Taoist priests are unwilling to try their best, but the strength of the treasure and the realm of the spell caster Closely related, no amount of Shen-zhu Taoist priests can create another Shen-zhu Taoist priest.

Zhou Qi is a Taoist priest whose state has not changed after becoming a demon. He is the greatest support of the magician. "Forcibly raising the state is a taboo in practice. If the state of mind does not match the strength, it will be shaken. Why should Taoism allow a group of people who are easily possessed by the devil?" Taoist priests come to deal with us magic priests?"

Zhou Qi was very calm when he called himself a magician.

Lan Qizhang of the sea said: "It is not our wish to fall into the devil, but if unfortunately we fall into the devil's path, we are also prepared."

Zhou Qi raised his head and looked at the sky, "This is a trick left by Fang Xunmo. Let a group of Taoist priests who may be possessed by demons act as bait. If the Taoist priests carelessly try to win over you, they will lead the wolf into the house, right?"

"It's useless to talk more, Zhou Qi, don't think you know everything, think about the mistakes you have made."

"Mu Xingqiu." Zhou Qi said this name. He had indeed made a major mistake, so that he was defeated by an inhalation Taoist priest - the Xingluo inner elixir that Mu Xingqiu obtained from the dragon demon was not recognized - - But he believes that if he fights again, he will never underestimate the enemy. Just like this time, he will not retain his strength just because the opponent is a group of Xingluo Taoist priests.

Lao Chong, who was watching the battle on the cliff, was finally able to speak, "Is this a fight? Why don't we start the fight?"

"It's already started." Feifei said a little excitedly on the other side, with a blush on his face. "They are transforming the 'Tianshi' to make the surrounding environment more suitable for them to cast spells. They will have the upper hand when they do it later."

"So troublesome?" Lao Chuang opened his eyes wide and couldn't see any clues. After the rain, the sky was clear, the sun was rising, the wind was cool, the air was fresh, everything was normal, "Why don't Daotong keep more people? It doesn’t take much time to win in one go.”

Feifei couldn't answer this question. Both demons looked at Zuo Liuying. Feifei quickly turned his head away, but Lao Chong kept staring. He was repaired by Zuo Liuying, disguised as Yishijun, so he The impression is quite mixed.

Lao Chuang was stunned and scratched his head, "Is it...the devil's thoughts?"

Feifei suppressed a smile and felt that this question was posed to him, "Devil thoughts are actually ordinary thoughts."

Zuo Liuying did not comment, but Lao Chong was confused and scratched his head again, "Isn't Fan Nian just the thoughts of us monsters and ordinary humans? How can it be demonic thoughts?"

The two groups of Taoist priests at the foot of the cliff were still competing for "the right time." Zhou Qi and Lan Qizhang occasionally said a few irrelevant words. Lao Chong was quite bored, so he had a lot of doubts.

Feifei had read a lot of Taoist books, but it was still difficult to explain this kind of thing to Lao Chong. After thinking for a while, he said: "It's like a newborn baby who cries and makes fuss when he's hungry. He grabs food easily and refuses to let go. , this is a baby’s thought…”

"It's useless. The baby has no strength. No matter how tight the hand is, the parents can take away the food."

"This is exactly the reason. Babies' thoughts are harmless because they are too weak. If the same thoughts are placed in the minds of more powerful adult monsters and humans, it is greed and arrogance."

"What are you trying to say? I've seen too much greed and arrogance."

"Ordinary demons and humans are weak, so their emotions and desires are not very harmful, and may be beneficial. Taoist priests are powerful and omnipotent, and even ordinary thoughts are demonic thoughts: delicious food, whatever the demon wants. , people like it, but there will be a time when their belly is bulging and they can no longer eat. If a Taoist priest has this desire, his mouth and belly will be like a ravine, and it will be difficult to satisfy him even if he eats all day long. The more dissatisfied he will be, the more greedy he will become, which will eventually become a demonic thought. ”

Lao Chong seemed to have some realization, "I understand a little bit. I like fighting, but I have to rest when I get tired. If I were a Taoist priest, I would never know when I was tired, so I would keep fighting - haha, this is quite interesting. "

"But from the perspective of the person being beaten, you are a huge villain, so you have demonic thoughts. The bloodthirsty of a demon soldier is bravery, and the bloodthirsty of a demon general is cruelty or duty. The bloodthirsty of a demon king is only ruthless and violent. The poor and lowly are greedy for wealth, and it is even a sign of advancement. The rich and powerful are greedy for wealth, but they always harm one party. read."

"So, the higher the realm of Taoist priests, the easier it is for them to become possessed by demons?"

"So the state of mind and strength must match. The state of mind of a high-level Taoist priest is more stable, which offsets the danger of being possessed by demons."

Lao Chong frowned, feeling that this matter was too complicated, but it made some sense, "Isn't this guy named Zhou Qi a high-level Taoist who is possessed by the devil? What is he greedy for?"

Feifei couldn't answer.

"What he is greedy for is Tao." Zuo Liuying said that no Taoist priest knows more about "demon" than him. "Practice is the food, emotions and desires of high-level Taoist priests. Demon seeds will allow Taoist priests to see a whole new field. It seems simpler, more reasonable, and more promising than the Taoist practice. No Taoist priest can resist this temptation."

As for ordinary humans and demons, they are just carriers of the demon species, providing it with nutrients and allowing it to grow.

Lao Chuang looked blankly at the "fighting" going on below the cliff, feeling that Zuo Liuying's words were the same as the so-called Tianshi, invisible and intangible, seemingly there but not there at the same time.

"Forget it, I don't want to be a Taoist priest anyway. Can anyone tell me how far these two groups of Taoist priests have reached?"

Feifei's vision has reached its limit. He can feel that the situation is getting more and more tense, but he cannot judge the specific extent.

Zuo Liuying knocked on the ground twice with the bamboo stick in his hand, so that the two demons could see what he saw.

Lao Chong, who was sitting on the ground, jumped up and almost jumped up. Then he sat firmly and exclaimed: "Old God... I want to be a Taoist priest again."

Feifei clenched his two small fists. He had long wanted to be a Taoist priest, but now he felt confused and felt that he was not worthy.

In the military camp under the cliff, more than 20 magicians were riding not donkeys, but some kind of weird animals, about the same size as donkeys. They were hairless and seemed to have no flesh and blood. Bright green mucus flowed in and out, not even a drop of it. Don't fall to the ground.

The magic priests set up magic circles, and the entire military camp was filled with huge black magic words. What frightened Lao Chong and Feifei was that thousands of demon clansmen in the country of sacrifice did not retreat. They were all lying in tents, posing in different ways. The posture has become part of the strokes of the magic text, and some monsters are even twisting.

On the sea, what the forty-one Taoist priests are stepping on is not a raft, but dazzling rays of light. The Taoist priests are not standing randomly, but also in a formation. More than ten rays of light are connected together, vaguely like talismans written on the sea. .

Black magic texts and golden talismans flew into the sky in an endless stream, colliding together to start a fierce fight.

The magician side had a slight upper hand, and the battle for time fell into a stalemate. Lan Qizhang said: "Please accept the move."

"Okay." Zhou Qi replied.

On the sea, a Taoist priest slowly rose into the sky.

Feifei flinched and recognized that it was Shen Jiyi. Daotong actually wanted to use a Taoist priest of the first level of Xingluo to deliver the first blow.
