Exorcism

Shou Que had forgotten many things, but she still remembered the magic of mind and heart, word for word, and she was very afraid of Zuo Liuying, so she cast the spell on Shi Hanyuan as soon as she received the instruction.

Shen Geng's remnant soul was entangled with Shi Hanyuan, making it extremely difficult to separate. As soon as he noticed the illusion attack, Shi Hanyuan opened his eyes with an angry look on his face. He was staring not at Shou Qiu and Zuo Liuying, but at the bystander Mu Xing. Autumn.

Zuo Liuying acted resolutely and immediately cast a spell to protect Shi Hanyuan's normal soul.

Shi Hanyuan opens his eyes for a while and closes them for a while. When he closes his eyes, he is calm and inactive. When he opens his eyes, he is angry and brutal. They are completely two faces, switching instantly without any hesitation.

After a while, Shou Que lost confidence, "Remnant Soul is very tough, I seem...it seems..."

"Cast a spell." Zuo Liuying ordered.

Shou Que didn't dare to stop, but his whole body began to tremble again.

Mu Xingqiu had been watching. He saw the hatred of Shen Geng's remnant soul towards him, and hoped to retrieve some memories from it, but found nothing. Then he began to observe the other two people casting spells. Zuo Liuying's spell was invisible, and he There were no clues, and Shou Kui's movements were a bit unbalanced, which greatly affected the effect of the spell. However, Mu Xingqiu could see clearly. After staring for a long time, he could even distinguish many details.

He felt that he must have learned similar spells, "What method did you use?"

Shou Que was stunned for a moment, "Illusion technique, mind-reading illusion technique, I think it should be."

"The art of mind-reading illusion." Mu Xingqiu was even more convinced that he had learned it before, "You are too nervous, and your technique seems not very accurate."

"That remnant soul... is too strong, I'm a little, a little scared." Shou Que looked like an old woman, but his tone was like a frightened girl.

"I think it should be like this." Mu Xingqiu raised his right hand. He retrieved part of his memory. There was no past events about himself in it, but a method called "The Way of Using Things". It was very simple, but he couldn't use it. With ease, I was finally able to control the magic power in my body at will.

Mu Xingqiu cast an illusion spell that he couldn't name. It was almost the same as what Shou Que was casting, only more firm and direct.

Shen Geng's remnant soul was pulled out. Even the third eye could not see it. The three people who were casting spells could only feel its erratic existence. The remnant soul didn't like to leave the body, and instantly split into two parts, rushing towards Shou Que and Mu Xingqiu respectively. At the same time, Shi Hanyuan, who was sitting on the ground, jumped up and attacked everyone.

At the last moment, he still failed to completely block the influence of the remnant soul.

Mu Xingqiu and Shou Que immediately withdrew their magic power to protect themselves, but Zuo Liuying attacked Shen Geng's remaining soul with all his strength.

The explosion was deafening, and except for Zuo Liuying, the other three were forced to take a few steps back.

Zuo Liuying lowered his head and glanced at the bleeding wound on his shoulder.

Shi Hanyuan quickly returned to normal and hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, I couldn't control it for a moment... I... am no longer a Rimang Taoist priest."

Shi Hanyuan was devastated. Zuo Liuying had warned him a long time ago, but he still had a glimmer of hope.

"Go find those babies and create another Taoist tradition." Zuo Liuying said, letting the blood on his shoulders stop on its own.

Shi Hanyuan wanted to say something, but in the end he just sighed and walked out of the manor. He owed Zuo Liuying a favor and accepted a difficult task. Anything he said before it was completed would seem hypocritical.

"The remnant soul... doesn't want to be eliminated." Shou Que whispered, feeling very sympathetic to the remnant soul of Shen Geng that had just vanished into thin air.

Zuo Liuying looked at Mu Xingqiu, "You encountered an attack. In order to preserve the most important memory, you sacrificed a lot of ordinary memories. But you cast a spell on yourself to connect the lost memory with something. , you can get your memory back when you see this thing.”

"Fire." Mu Xingqiu understood why he thought of fire, but there were fires everywhere, which did not help him at all. "What kind of fire should I look for?"

"This is my spell, and you actually learned it. I used this spell to retain only a few memories, but you used it to bind almost all of your memories." Zuo Liuying paused, "There is a lot of fire in the world. There are many kinds, even if I guess which one it is, I can’t tell you. The process of searching for fire is the process of recovering memory. I’m afraid that if you find the answer too easily, you won’t be able to recover much memory.”

"You seem to know me very well."

"I know who you were before."

"My former self. Mu Xingqiu was full of curiosity about his past self, "I want to know..."

"But I don't know where to start."

"You've already started."

Mu Xingqiu was silent for a while, "I didn't have a very good relationship with you in the past, right? Because now I kind of hate you."

"I am Zuo Liuying. No one dares to say that they have ever had a good relationship with me."

Zuo Liuying pointed her right hand at Mu Xingqiu, "Before you recover your memory, you can no longer use the name Mu Xingqiu, nor can you maintain your current appearance, and you must avoid everything that is said about you as much as possible."

Mu Xingqiu noticed that there was a spell coming on him and wanted to resist but didn't know where to start. He could imitate Shou Qi's illusion, but once he cast the spell, he was not so flexible. Before he could figure out the process of casting the spell, Zuo Liuying had already Take back the spell.

"What did you do to me?" Mu Xingqiu raised his hand and touched his face, feeling that something had changed in him.

"I have modified your appearance. No one can see through it except Taoist Priest Rimang. Come up with a new name yourself."

Mu Xingqiu disliked this Taoist priest even more.

Zuo Liuying turned to Shou Wu, "Your duty is to protect Mu Xingqiu until he recovers all his memories. At that time, maybe he can help you fuse the remaining souls."

"Really?" Shou Que's voice trembled in another way.

"The chances are real, the results - there is no such thing as true or false."

Shou Que thought about it for a while and didn't understand the exact meaning of this answer, "Okay, but does he need my protection?"

"No need." Mu Xingqiu said affirmatively, feeling less and less fond of this young Taoist priest who was always gesticulating as soon as he appeared. "You have assigned responsibilities to everyone, what about yourself?"

"I have given up any plans long ago, Mu Xingqiu, I have forgotten in another way." Zuo Liuying pointed out the path to everyone he met, but did not make any arrangements for himself, "I only have one reminder for you, Beware of your enemies."

"enemy?"

"Enemies are the same as memories, you need to find them slowly."

"You obviously know a lot of things, why don't you tell me? Even a little bit."

"How do you know that what I tell you must be true?"

"You... don't need to lie to me." Mu Xingqiu was not particularly confident about this.

Zuo Liuying's expression did not change, but in Mu Xingqiu's eyes, it showed a bit of ridicule and disdain.

"From now on, don't believe anything anyone says except what you see. If you want to regain your past memories, you must first stand firm now."

Zuo Liuying turned to Shou Wei again, "What you have is a dharma body, which can be changed at will."

"Really? I'll try."

"Wait!" Mu Xingqiu still had many things to ask, but he couldn't keep Zuo Liuying. That was a Taoist priest who "had no plan" and left at the drop of a hat.

The fire in the manor was still burning, but there were very few fireballs in the sky, and there were no more sudden flames shooting out of the ground.

The two people with impaired memory looked at each other, and neither of them spoke for a while.

Mu Xingqiu felt that he should be able to fly, but he couldn't remember the specific method, so he walked towards the outside of the village, stayed there for a while, and followed closely, "I seem to be able to change my appearance at will. Do you think I can change my appearance at will?" Which one is better? Younger? Older?"

Mu Xingqiu stopped, "Listen, I don't need your protection. Who is Zuo Liuying? Why do you have to follow his arrangements? I want to get my memory back, and you should do your own thing. Let's The water does not harm the river.”

"But I have no 'own affairs' and don't know what to do. Zuo Liuying seems very smart. He said that you might be able to fuse my remaining soul together."

"He said...who knows what grievances we had in the past? Maybe the first thing I will do after I regain my memory is to kill you."

Shou Que shuddered slightly. She had more memories left than Mu Xingqiu. She vaguely remembered that she had indeed fought with this person, but her memory was too confusing to describe clearly.

Mu Xingqiu strode away, suddenly accelerated, and passed through the burning ruins.

Shou Que hurriedly chased after him. After passing through the flames, his appearance changed. He was dressed exactly like Zuo Liuying, except that there were two red flames painted on the blue robe, one on the chest and one on the back. It looked like It is specially prepared for Mu Xingqiu who is looking for "fire". She looks much younger and is the same eighteen or nineteen years old as Zuo Liuying, but she still maintains her female body.

Compared with the slightly flamboyant Taoist robe, Shou Que's expression and walking posture are not heroic at all. He lowers his head and walks more than ten steps away from Mu Xingqiu, like a young daughter-in-law who has just been scolded by her husband.

Mu Xingqiu strode forward, never looking back. He wanted to know what Zuo Liuying had turned him into, but with Shou Wei following him, he never summoned the bronze mirror.

There were flames burning everywhere in the wilderness. After walking for three or four miles, Mu Xingqiu saw the bodies of four servants. They could not escape the fireball that fell to the ground.

The nearby unknown market town was also burning, and screams were occasionally heard.

Mu Xingqiu stood on the road, looking left and right, not knowing where to go.

"This world must be painful." Shou Que whispered, crossing her arms as if it was cold. The scorched earth evoked her painful memories of the destruction of the remnant soul.

Mu Xingqiu looked towards the market town again and noticed something strange. Facing the scene of destruction, he felt calm in his heart.

He must be a part of this world, and the memory he is looking for should also be closely related to this world, but his mood is indifferent. The biggest influence the whole world has on him is Zuo Liuying's gesticulation and the people in the town giving him food. , he is not grateful, and he does not care about the evil intentions of the official. As for death and destruction, they are like legends that have nothing to do with him.

"Let's start here." Mu Xingqiu walked toward the burning market town, hoping to find his feelings for the world first, even if it was hatred.

Shou Que followed tremblingly, looking like a drowning man who had just been rescued from the shore, not a bodyguard.

Something flew from behind. Mu Xingqiu turned around and grabbed it in his hand. It turned out to be a small incense burner left by Shi Hanyuan, which contained a large number of Taoist secrets. Shi Hanyuan handed it to Zuo Liuying, and Zuo Liuying passed it to Mu Xingqiu. Afterwards, Being forgotten, he caught up with him.

"Qin Lingshuang." Mu Xingqiu muttered this name. It was said that the incense burner should be given to her.
