Exorcism

Shen Hao stared at Mu Xingqiu for almost a quarter of an hour. Shen Xiuming sat silently on the chair. There were no lights in the room. He had not opened his third eye and could only vaguely see two blurry figures.

"Do you know what everyone said?" Shen Hao finally spoke. After all, the long silence had some benefits. He felt much calmer and thought more thoughtfully. "You are competing with Zuo Liuying for the limelight. For To be honest, I really think this is a bit like your character, but I know you better than others. You are always desperate to save the people you want to save, so this is all for you. Yang Qingyin.”

Shen Hao greatly simplified the problem. Mu Xingqiu's purpose was more than that, but after thinking about it, he thought it would be a good idea to say it this way, so he nodded, "I have to do this."

"I understand, what about the Demon-Slaying Association? Just disband like this? After the high-level Taoist priests eliminate the demons, they will concentrate on preparing for the war against the demons. Without continuous offensive pressure, the demon soldiers will come back, and they will definitely be before the demons."

"Hold on. Although the Demon Slayer Guild cannot be completely independent of the Taoist order, this is a start. You should strive for the position of leader."

"Me? Since I was defeated by you, I have long given up this idea..."

"Pick up this idea again." Mu Xingqiu held Shen Hao's arm, "What the leader of the Demon Slayer Guild values ​​is not just the level of cultivation and the strength of spells. You have devoted the most time and energy to the Demon Slayer Guild. I don’t know everything, but you have already been in contact with most of the Taoist priests. This is your advantage, and no one else can compare with it.”

Shen Hao was ambitious, "Okay." The word first declined and then rose, and at the end it became very certain, "Don't really turn into a demon, otherwise we will meet on the battlefield. ”

"My chance of succeeding in transforming into a demon clan is much smaller than..." Mu Xingqiu wanted to say, "much smaller than death." He glanced at the dumbfounded Shen Xiuming and swallowed back the words, "Take good care of Shen Xiuming, he The flowers and plants will be of great benefit to slaying demons.”

"Well, don't worry, I'm counting on him to repay my debt."

Regardless of whether Mu Xingqiu joins the Demon Slayer Club, the original agreement will not change. After three years of support, the low-level Taoist priests still have to return a large amount of materials to the Taoist order. Of course, a few flowers and plants are not enough. Mu Xingqiu and Shen Hao are like this It is said that it is to enhance the importance of Shen Xiuming.

Shen Xiuming laughed sheepishly, "Do the monsters also need flowers and plants? I can also build a flower garden in the land of monsters. Some special plants like the unclean atmosphere."

"It seems that even if you turn into a demon, there are still people who are willing to do business with you." Shen Hao shook his head with emotion, "You want to go back to Baizhang City, right?"

"Ten demon-transforming pills are not enough, and Xin Youtao and the others are still trapped there. I have to go back."

"Whatever you want to do, be quick. Taoism will definitely launch an attack within two months, and the demon clan will be driven out of Xijie Kingdom. What will Qi Wushang's attitude be towards you then...you have to be prepared."

"Um."

"Also, I checked carefully in the Imperial Capital. There are no people from Yelin Town in any of the prisons. An old Talisman master revealed that Long Binhui once secretly transported human slaves to the Kingdom of Sheshen. The Kingdom of Sheshen ostensibly surrendered to the Holy Talisman The Imperial Dynasty secretly supports Qi Wushang, so if you have a chance, you can investigate with the Yaozu. When the war is over, I want to go to the Kingdom of Sheshen in person. "

Shen Hao had begun to behave like a leader. Mu Xingqiu nodded, "Okay, I will check."

The Sacrificial State is located in the northwest. It is a large half-demon country that occupies an extremely large area. It has been surrendering to the Shengfu Dynasty for many years, but there are many signs that a large number of the people and soldiers of the Sacrificial State have joined Qi Wushang's army.

Throughout the night, Shen Hao and Shen Xiuming stayed with Mu Xingqiu, worried that he would suddenly transform into a demon, but nothing happened. The ten demon-transforming pills had no effect on Mu Xingqiu. The inner elixir was functioning normally and the spells were handy. He had not felt the pain that Yang Qingyin and others had experienced.

Mu Xingqiu didn't want to wait any longer. He left most of the demon pills and weapons he collected from the four new monarchs to Shen Hao, and decided to go to the demon capital Baizhang City that day, where he could not only concentrate on experiencing the transformation The process of eliminating demons can also keep you away from the disputes among high-level Taoist priests.

But this time the Taoist priests responded surprisingly quickly. Shortly after dawn, a Taoist priest came over to inform Mu Xingqiu that he had to stay in Duanliu City for one more day.

The messenger was not even from Pangshan, but Feng Dongchen, a Taoist priest from Wandi Mountain. He took this opportunity himself and wanted to see the changes in Mu Xingqiu, so he looked up and down unceremoniously and asked directly: "I heard that changes can occur within a few hours after taking the Demon Transformation Pill. You don't seem to have changed. Can you still fly?"

"Yes, the previous Taoist priest's inability to fly may be due to the legacy of the demon blood, and has nothing to do with the Demon Transformation Pill."

"You said that you would hand over all your feelings and insights in the process of transforming into a demon to Taoism?"

"right."

"Very good, the Taoist order will assign someone to observe your transformation into a demon, so you have to wait one more day in Duanliu City."

"Who?" Mu Xingqiu did not object to having a Taoist priest observe him. After all, one person's vision is limited, and having another observer is definitely not a bad thing. "I want to go to Baizhang City again, but there is no guarantee of safety."

"It should be me. It won't be a low-level Taoist priest anyway. I have already expressed my wishes to the Taoist priests. As for safety, that is my own business."

Feng Dongchen did not say goodbye and flew away, completely ignoring the two people accompanying Mu Xingqiu.

Mu Xingqiu didn't leave for the time being, so Shen Hao and Shen Xiu Ming went to do their own things. Mu Xingqiu stayed alone in the backyard of Shen's house to think and practice boxing. After a morning, there was still no reaction in the body, and the demon pill was still there. It takes effect very slowly on him.

Yashan Taoist priest Shen Jiyi came uninvited. After landing, he looked around as if he was looking for any hidden magic weapons. Then he said, "What a wonderful move. What a wonderful move."

"What's the trick?" Mu Xingqiu stopped practicing boxing and asked inexplicably.

"You are now completely divorced from all ties with Pang Shan. You can do whatever you want without being bound by any rules."

"Thank you for speaking so wonderfully about my life. I will try my best to make it happen."

Shen Jiyi sneered, "Can you make conditions? What do you want in exchange?"

"If you say half a sentence like this every time, I don't think we can continue to talk."

"That head, Mu Songxuan, is not missing. You have hidden him, right? Mu Songxuan is a disciple of Pang Shan, and Pang Shan is not easy to protect his own shortcomings, so leaving everything to you is a great move. In that case , you can ask for a price, Yashan is willing to pay any price in exchange for the water in his head. "

"If I get Baldy back, I will personally send him to Asan. The only requirement is that Asan must publicly promise not to hurt him."

Shen Jiyi smiled and said, "Pangshan has the Patriarch's Pagoda, and Yashan has the Sword Washing Pond. They are both Taoist treasures, so please understand the sentence 'Yashan is willing to pay any price'."

Yashan Taoist priest left as suddenly as he came. Mu Xingqiu thought that if he had not died on the road to demon transformation, he would have more opportunities to see another side of the Taoist priest in the future. However, it was not worth becoming an enemy of Yashan. He even I have never seen the true appearance of the water in the sword washing pool.

Misunderstandings cannot be eliminated with a few words, so Mu Xingqiu decided to wait until he found Baldy later.

Yang Qingyuan and others came to visit. They heard that Taoism was selecting people to observe Mu Xingqiu's demon transformation process. They took this as Taoism's approval, so they came to congratulate him. Mu Xingqiu took the opportunity to recommend Shen Hao as the leader of the Demon Slayer Association, and they all agreed.

Xiao Qingtao didn't come until the evening, with a slightly excited expression. "Transforming into a demon" had a richer meaning to her, "Have you brought enough magic weapons?"

"Fortunately, Shen Hao helped me replenish some, and this time I go to Baizhang City without having to fight like last time."

"No one can say for sure about this kind of thing... I'll go with you. I have a lot of magic weapons."

Mu Xingqiu was a little surprised, "No, you can't go to Baizhang City, it will be bad for you."

Because of Pei Zihan's betrayal, Xiao Qingtao, who is not a demon, is already under suspicion. Going to Baizhang City, the demon capital, publicly at this time will arouse more suspicion.

"Even if I stay in Pangshan for the rest of my life, it will not be more 'beneficial' to me. Moreover, Xin Youtao accepted my suggestion before following you to Xijie Country. I have to bring him back. You have people to save, and so do I. ." Xiao Qingtao's tone became more and more serious, and she looked up at Mu Xingqiu, showing a tough look that she rarely showed.

"Okay, let's set off tomorrow morning." Mu Xingqiu agreed.

Xiao Qingtao smiled, "I'll go back and clean up. By the way, Yang Qingyin's mother asked me to tell you that she doesn't want to see you turn into a demon, but if you go to find Yang Qingyin, you must inform her. No matter what, when Dao Tong After the war with the demon clan is over, she will go north to find her daughter in person. "

Note that the efficiency of the Taoist priests has indeed been greatly improved, and soon after dark, news came one after another.

Zuo Liuying still withdrew from Pangshan, and part of his memory was immediately removed. Rumors say that the art of breaking thoughts has a profound impact on Taoist priests. As a result, the cultivation level of this Taoist wizard has been greatly reduced. Currently, it is only equivalent to the sixth or seventh level of Xingluo. realm, even lower.

The next news surprised Mu Xingqiu and all the low-level Taoist priests. The Taoist designated demon observer was actually Zuo Liuying, who seemed to have made up his mind to follow Mu Xingqiu.

Mu Xingqiu didn't believe it at first, but another visitor that night brought definite news.

Since the Battle of Duanliu City, Forbidden Secret Division disciple Lan Qizhang and Mu Xingqiu have not seen each other again. He has recovered from his collapse and returned to normal. His handsome face and elegant smile are the same as before. Mu Xingqiu It was then that I realized that the smiles of the Taoist priests were so similar, that Lan Qizhang was almost another Shen Jiyi.

"Zuo Liuying will meet you tomorrow morning."

"Why him?"

"Orthodox decision."

The two of them really had nothing to say, but Mu Xingqiu had to ask, "Did Zuo Liuying say why he did these things?"

Lan Qizhang nodded, "Taoist priests have only one pursuit, and everything they do and think depends on this pursuit. This is especially true for Zuo Liuying. The reason why he gave up everything is to survive the disaster and to continue to improve his practice."
