Exorcism

The room was empty. There was an incense burner in the corner, but there was nothing else. The founder Kun Chaos was nowhere to be seen. Zuo Liuying stood in the center and observed for a moment, raised his hand and drew a circle in the air, using invisible In the center of the circle, a violent explosion occurred. The room swayed, echoes continued, and Zuo Liuying's clothes also fluttered.

This is a spell that obeys the Rimang realm. It has only one purpose, making everything around it invisible. Shortly after the explosion, various hidden objects in the room were gradually revealed. It turned out that it was not as empty as it seemed, except for the things in the corners. The incense burner and nine magical artifacts floating in the air near the roof are the nine great treasures of Taoism.

But this is not the real treasure, but their body, which is similar to the Yangshen Peak separated from the Patriarch Tower. At a glance, the tower is still a tower, a tripod or a tripod. In Zuo Liuying's eyes, the difference is extremely clear.

A thin line of light connects the nine magical instruments together.

The room was not quiet. The sound came from the incense burner in the corner. The green smoke rising from it was originally silent. Under the influence of the spell, the true nature of the green smoke was exposed. It was composed of a large number of spells and was colorful. , the sound is even more noisy and harsh, enough to drive the listener crazy.

Not long after, the room returned to its original state, empty and silent, like a warehouse that had just been vacated.

There was a knock on the door outside.

The door opened on its own, and Pangshan Grand Master Yang Yannian stepped in. He was obviously stunned for a moment when he found that the Patriarch was not there. He looked at Zuo Liuying with a more complicated look. He tried to communicate with Zuo Liuying in the form of fugue, which is commonly used by high-level Taoist priests. This method of communication provides richer information and less misunderstandings than pure language, but Zuo Liuying refused, and Yang Yannian had no choice but to speak.

"The nine masters and various Taoist traditions need an explanation."

Zuo Liuying turned around and said flatly: "I'm just letting nature take its course."

"What you call natural..."

"What I call nature is the Patriarch. He is the successor arranged by the first three ancestors. He has immeasurable power. To obey the Patriarch is to obey nature.

The Taoist priest who pays attention to the spirit can cast spells at any time, even when he is thinking about it. He can cast spells unconsciously even when he is thinking about it. The realm of Yuemang has reached a higher level. There are spells between his ears, eyes, nose and tongue at any time. Lower Taoist priests need to use kung fu to do so. They use their third eye and supernatural hearing all the time.

But Yang Yannian, who was in the Yue Mang realm, couldn't see or hear anything unusual here. The more ordinary Zuo Liuying looked to him, the more frightened he became.

"What about the rumors before? The Patriarch wanted to exterminate all living beings in the world, including Taoist priests, the Nine Great Treasures stole the practice of Taoist priests of all generations, and the Patriarch Kunchaos refined the three ancestors into a magic weapon, which is the one in his hand Jian Yiling...it is said that you believe these rumors to be true."

"Most of these rumors come from my mouth, and they are more true than this Taoist Tower."

Zuo Liuying's calmness annoyed Yang Yannian, "I don't believe these rumors, and the entire Taoist tradition and all sentient beings in the world don't believe it, because it has no meaning or benefit to the Patriarch. But you believe these absurd statements, but you still have to obey the Patriarch, Why?"

"Let nature take its course not only means going with the wind and sunshine, but also going with the violent storms. If you only choose to go with the harmless and controllable nature, what is the meaning of going with the flow of nature?"

"I don't need you to teach me what it means to let nature take its course." There was obvious anger in Yang Yannian's voice.

Zuo Liuying shook his head, "Why does your Taoist heart waver?"

Yang Yannian was shocked and lowered his head in silence, feeling incredible at his own gaffe. It was not just him, but all the masters' moods had been somewhat disturbed since Zuo Liuying entered the Taoist Tower.

"You are strong and venerable. In the past, I just followed the flow. Now that there are stronger and more venerable people, you can't adapt." Zuo Liuying's accusation was not just directed at Yang Yannian, but encompassed everyone. High Taoist priest.

"I am not born to be a master or a Taoist priest, so why can't I adapt to a Taoist priest who is stronger than me?"

"Because for many years Taoist priests have always thought that the Grandmaster is the end. The Grandmaster is just one of the nine Grandmasters. You make a decision together. The Grandmaster knows a little more secrets, but sooner or later, the Grandmaster will always explain it to the Grandmaster first. Everything. Patriarch Kunchao is an exception. He treats the Grand Master like an ordinary Taoist priest and has not disclosed anything to you, not now or in the future. This is your incompatibility and the reason why your Taoist heart is wavering. "

Yang Yannian suppressed his anger and began to regret coming to see Zuo Liuying, but as Grandmaster Pangshan, he had no choice but to take on this task. He thought the Grandmaster would be here, but the person who spoke to him in the Patriarch's accent was actually It's Zuo Liuying.

"You can't go with the flow, and nature won't go with you." Zuo Liuying was simply lecturing Yang Yannian, as if he was a junior disciple who had just started, "The patriarch has cast great spells, and the Taoist priests' practice has increased day by day. Even the pagoda The casual cultivators outside also benefited a lot, but the nine masters did not enjoy any benefits."

The anger finally burst out. Yang Yannian's body suddenly grew taller, almost touching the roof. His beard and hair were flying, his robes were flying, and there was a magic sword in his hand. His face was as heavy as water, and a storm was brewing.

But this state only lasted for a moment. Yang Yannian returned to his normal figure with a embarrassed expression. He seemed to have been hit hard before the fight, "What's wrong with me? I... You are right, we did not obey the ancestor. On the surface, I obeyed, but secretly I was suspicious, and even... even wooed the Taoist priests to oppose the Patriarch... What happened to me? "

Yang Yannian was not Zuo Liuying's opponent in the first place, and his mood collapsed and he lost a lot. However, he was a Yuemang Taoist priest after all. As soon as he found something wrong, he immediately stopped casting the spell.

"If... you are right, wouldn't complying with the Patriarch mean you are seeking death?" Yang Yannian still couldn't understand Zuo Liuying's approach. He was obviously the person who opposed the Patriarch the most, but he consciously "complied with the Patriarch" more than any Taoist priest.

Yang Yannian immediately understood the meaning of this sentence, "In the past, the Taoism could only serve the realm of Yuemang. You saw that the road ahead had an end, so you quit the Taoism and found another way. The Patriarch's road is endless, and he believed that you would never reach the end, so Will keep going.”

Zuo Liuying nodded.

"Then what did you say to the Patriarch?" Yang Yannian's shame gradually disappeared, and his respect suddenly emerged. He no longer thought that Zuo Liuying was a down-and-out Taoist priest who had returned to the Taoist tradition.

"I said 'I can get in and I can get out'."

Yang Yannian gave Zuo Liuying the Taoist gift, straightened up and asked, "If a master reaches the realm of obeying the sun, can he really take back the treasure and return to Tao Mountain?"

"That's right."

Yang Yannian exited the room, without even asking who made the decision: Zuo Liuying followed the Patriarch's way, and everything he said was naturally what the Patriarch meant.

The door was not closed, Zuo Liuying stood there and waited silently.

After Yang Yannian, eight other grandmasters entered the room in turn, and each had a different reaction: Grandmaster Luan Jingshan just glanced at the door and left; Grandmaster Hongshan walked in, stared for a moment, saluted, and exited without asking anything. ; Grandmaster Wangshan stared longer, and finally bowed and exited without saying a word; Grandmaster Zhaoshan issued a spell, circled half a circle around the room, and immediately retreated; Grandmaster Qishan walked straight to the incense burner, and when he left Sweat dripped from his forehead and his steps were sloppy, as if he had been severely reprimanded. Grandmaster Wandishan laughed several times, shook his head, turned and walked away.

There were two grandmasters who refused to admit defeat. One was Xingshan Grandmaster Zhao Chuye, who was the law enforcer of the University of Discipline Science. He felt that Zuo Liuying's behavior was abnormal, and he was even more suspicious of the disappearance of the grandmaster. "Where did the grandmaster go?" he said. Ask clearly.

Zuo Liuying didn't answer.

"Even if the Patriarch is not here, it is not your turn to make the decision. Unless the Patriarch has given an explanation, do you have the Patriarch's will?" Zhao Chuye kept asking.

Zuo Liuying's answer was to flick out his finger. Zhao Chuye was already prepared, all his magic power was ready to go, and many spells were already lingering in Jiang Palace, just waiting for his thought.

The thought of casting a spell never came up. Zhao Chuye suddenly found himself standing outside the door. He wanted to cast a spell, but Zuo Liuying became extremely far away, so far away that the spell could not reach him. Once he relaxed his vigilance, Zuo Liuying would change again. Got to be close at hand.

This is the Five Elements Water Illusion Technique. It can only work wonders when used on mortals or low-level Taoist priests. It is usually ineffective against Taoist priests who are in the Yue Mang realm. Even water illusions in the Sun Mang realm are not effective. Zhao Chuye can only deal with this strange thing. Find out the only explanation: Zuo Liuying didn't just obey Rimang, he also got help from the Patriarch in the room.

Zhao Chuye saluted Zuo Liuying and finally recognized his status. Although this status was nameless and titleless, it undoubtedly came from the arrangement of the ancestor.

Asan Grandmaster Shen Zangqi was the last one to visit. He did not enter the room, but stood at the door. After a while, he smiled and said: "There is hope for Pangshan's revival. Fellow Taoist Zuo has contributed a lot."

Shen Zangqi did not salute when he left.

The door is still not closed. Ever since Zuo Liuying moved in, the white door has been open. Any Taoist priest can walk in. However, except for the master, very few people do so. However, there are many people patrolling at the door, observing Zuo Liuying. Ying's every move ended in disappointment.

For twenty-one days, Zuo Liuying stood almost motionless, occasionally waving his arms. The most patient person could not wait for the change. The Taoist priest with the highest realm could not see any signs of magic. The Taoist Tower was independent of the imperial capital, and the room Zuo Liuying is independent of Daotong Tower.

That evening, Pangshan Taoist priest Shen Hao stood outside the door. This was his first time here. Most of the other Taoist priests came to watch out of curiosity. He really had something to say.

Shen Hao didn't walk into the room, not because he couldn't, but because he felt that he was not qualified. "Xin Youtao and Xiao Qingtao left the imperial capital with a group of people. I heard that Xin Youtao once visited you. I want to know whether it was you who paid for him." idea?"

Zuo Liuying raised his right hand at this moment, as if he had grasped something, "Shen Hao, I called you here. Tell me, how much of a blow can Mu Xingqiu withstand?"
