Exorcism

War Demon Mountain is not big, so some of the demon-invading Taoist priests sealed the exit, while others conducted a comprehensive search to find traces of the demon statues and demon species.

I searched back and forth twice, but found nothing. The demon statue was taller than the Virgin Mary, but it disappeared without a trace. Demon King Feizu even sent demon soldiers to the sky and the earth, but no clues were found.

As the sky grew dark, Mu Xingqiu asked all the demon clan in Zhan Mo Mountain to attend a gathering outside the redwood forest at midnight. While Feizu was passing orders around, he wanted to ask Zuo Liuying a few more questions.

In addition to the guards at the entrance of Zhan Mo Mountain, most of the demon invasion Taoist priests arrived one after another and found a place to sit down, waiting for Zuo Liuying to come out. Although Zuo Liuying is now just a Taoist priest from Shanxia, ​​he is still qualified to teach the Dharma to everyone.

Meng Xu, a Taoist priest from the Department of Alchemy, was also among them. He looked a little haggard. He nodded to Mu Xingqiu and chose the place furthest away from him to sit down.

Meng Xu had betrayed Mu Xingqiu and all the Taoist priests in the Ice City. For this reason, she accepted the method of second destruction. Her lifespan was greatly shortened. When she had to spit out the inner elixir on the eve of the Taoist retreat, she would not be able to survive. how long. Seeing that she had been punished, the Taoist priests left her alone.

Pei Zihan also returned to the Taoist priests. He looked even weaker, as skinny as a skeleton, and looked better than Meng Xu. He greeted Mu Xingqiu with a smile, but did not come to speak.

Xiaoyao Feifei was not sure whether she was qualified to stay, so she tried to leave quietly, but was pulled back by Xiaohao, so she sat uneasily under a tall flower tree and hid her body behind Xiaohao.

The second update had passed, and Zuo Liuying finally walked out of the cave. There are eleven orbs floating on his chest, lined up in a row, with very small differences in color from pure white to light yellow. They contain some of his memories. He can no longer access them at any time in his mind like in the state of concentration, so he has to They exist outside the body.

"The devil and the Tao are two completely opposite paths." Zuo Liuying was still pacing back and forth on the path in front of the door, talking to himself, straight to the point, turning a blind eye to dozens of Taoist priests.

"Taoist priests pursue self-perfection, but demons strive to eliminate themselves. Taoist priests are like mountains, with isolated peaks, seeking heights and dangers; demons are like the sea, containing hundreds of rivers, seeking breadth and depth. Demons are both one and countless, in order to make themselves To continue and become stronger, they need a lot of supplements. In the past, demons and humans were both slaves of the demons and the fresh blood of the demons. It must have been to keep all the demons in the void without supplements. The situation is self-destructive, but the demon species have not decreased in the void, but have gradually increased. There is only one explanation... only one possible explanation..."

"The demon species has found a new source of supplementation. I don't know how the demon species did it. Probably not even the Taoist ancestors know. In any case, the demon species no longer needs demons and humans. When they leave the void, they will The whole world was wiped out."

Zuo Liuying was silent for a while, not feeling fear and sorrow for the coming destruction, but thinking about whether there were any loopholes in his conclusion.

A Taoist priest asked in a low voice: "Tao Tong defeated the demons 130,000 years ago. Didn't they record this?"

Zuo Liuying gently flicked an orb, "Only Taoist priests Fu Yuemang and Fu Rimang can view those long-standing records. I don't have this qualification."

"But why does Taoism hide these things from Taoist priests who are not advanced enough?" Xin Youtao said loudly, and he smelled the smell of conspiracy again, "Since Taoism and demons are not mutually exclusive, and there will eventually be a war, why not let Taoist priests understand the demons in advance? Where is the danger? We can work together to find the new source of the demon species."

"Because 'understanding' is dangerous." Zuo Liuying stopped and stared at Xin Youtao, "You want to understand Pei Shurong, and she also wants to understand you. The result is that the two of you are becoming more and more similar."

Xiao Qingtao blushed and lowered her head, but Xin Youtao raised his head and said, "Because we two love each other, which is not the case with Taoism and Demon Clan."

A Taoist priest laughed slightly, Zuo Liuying didn't even blink, "Whether you love each other or hate each other, it makes no difference. As long as you try to 'understand' the other party, you will move closer to them unconsciously." , even if it is an enemy, you will become more like it. So I was not allowed to study demon species until after the Starfall Realm, because at that time my Taoist heart was strong enough to remain independent, but I still couldn't touch demon spells. Because of this, love tribulation is one of the most serious Tao tribulations. The more you and Pei Shurong 'understand' each other and the more similar you are, the further away you will be from your own perfection, and the more serious the damage will be to the hearts of Taoist priests. If you accept the method of re-annihilation but refuse to cut off the emotional calamity, it will be very dangerous when you have to spit out the inner elixir. "

Zuo Liuying's voice did not become harsher or more passionate. He just stated the facts he knew and had no intention of making any judgments. However, the faces of Xin Youtao and Xiao Qingtao gradually changed color, and they looked at each other without saying anything. Talk again.

The Taoist priests fell into a long silence. After accepting the method of re-annihilation, their Taoist hearts were gradually broken. Like Xin Youtao and Xiao Qingtao, they deviated from the direction of self-perfection. In this way, when they had to spit out the inner elixir Every time, there are certain dangers, and the road to practice again will be more difficult than imagined.

"After we spit out the elixir, can we still practice?" Gan Zhiwei asked softly. They were all waiting for Zuo Liuying to find a feasible way to rebuild his cultivation, but it turns out that few people can be like Zuo Liuying, no matter how hard he endures Despite the changes, the heart of a Taoist priest remains unchanged, and his path cannot be walked by others.

"If you have doubts, you can't. Looking back on your first experience of condensing Qi into an elixir, did you have any hesitation at that time? Don't you firmly believe that you will be able to form an elixir and that everything is logical?"

The Taoist priests were silent again. Indeed, the most difficult thing about condensing elixir is self-confidence. At the beginning, more than half of the Daoist disciples failed at this step, and Xiao Qingtao felt this especially deeply.

Suddenly there was a sudden burst of laughter in the crowd. Yang Qingyin stood up and pointed her left hand to the north. "Within ten years, the demon species will rush out of the void and destroy all humans and demons together with their 'new friends'. Even if we bring them You can live for ten to twenty years or even longer with the Taoist Tribulation Pill. You don't think about the imminent disaster, but you are worried about whether you can continue to practice. You are really a group of Taoist priests. "

Mu Xingqiu also stood up. He felt that Yang Qingyin was right. Now is not the time to think about things like overcoming tribulations, practicing cultivation, self-perfection, and the heart of a Taoist priest. He must first solve the immediate problem, "They can control me. I Can you control them too?"

Mu Xingqiu had already handed over the memories in Niwan Palace. Zuo Liuying naturally understood the meaning of his words. Instead of answering, she nodded gently, slowly at first, as if she was a little unsure, but finally Resolutely, he quickly raised his head.

This was enough. Mu Xingqiu did not ask for specific methods, "I'm going to find some demon magic masters hiding in Zhan Demon Mountain."

Mu Xingqiu left, and Yang Qingyin, Xin Youtao and others immediately followed. The Gan brothers and a few Taoist priests hesitated for a moment and then left the flowers. There were still seventeen or eight Taoist priests left in place. They were more concerned about cultivation and wanted to Then listen to Zuo Liuying's lecture.

Zuo Liuying did not interfere with anyone's choice. After everyone made a decision, he continued to talk to himself, stopping to explain when someone asked questions.

When Mu Xingqiu and others arrived outside the redwood forest, more than 7,000 demons had gathered according to his previous instructions, and even some injured people had been carried. The demons occupied various places according to tribes and got out of the way when the Taoist priests came over.

Dozens of demon clan leaders stood at the edge of the forest, whispering to each other. When they saw Mu Xingqiu approaching, they all stopped talking and looked at him together. Only Feizu came up to greet him, "We are all here, Taoist Master has a way... "

Mu Xingqiu nodded and glanced around, seeing the thin and tall Madonna of All Sons looking into the depths of the night, with an expression as if she was humming a tune. He also saw Black Phoenix smiling at him, his face It was clearer than usual, and finally he saw the tiger talisman master Gao Fuwei.

Gao Fuwei had been following the Taoist priests. He had just returned less than a day ago and did not follow to listen to the teachings. He deliberately avoided Mu Xingqiu's eyes and stood expressionlessly among the demon clan leaders.

"A few demon spies have sneaked into Zhan Mo Mountain. I need you to form another fish-dragon formation." Mu Xingqiu said casually, and without waiting for the demons to agree, he nodded to Xiao Hao, indicating that she was ready to cast a spell.

"Can we find spies using the Fish-Dragon Formation?" Feizu didn't understand the connection. The spies wouldn't show up at all. What's the use of forming a powerful giant?

"Yes." Mu Xingqiu said firmly, still not giving an explanation.

"Okay, we have formed the Fish-Dragon Formation once before, so I won't say much more. Everyone, be prepared." Xiaohao didn't have so many questions. She always thought the Fish-Dragon Formation was a fun game.

It is not easy to get more than 7,000 demons to form a formation, especially when they have doubts. The first time Xiaohao cast the spell, he only gathered more than 1,000 demons. Slowly, more and more demons gathered. After joining in, the giant grew taller and taller, even comparable to the redwood tree next to it.

The leaders of the demon clan also joined in. Black Phoenix joined earlier, but Our Lady of Ten Thousand Sons stayed until the end. Before entering the fish-dragon formation, she said: "I hate tall people."

The demon clan finally joined the giant, with a smile that could only be seen on the big and rough faces of Artemisia.

"Please help me guard the surrounding area." Mu Xingqiu said to the Taoist priests.

Yang Qingyin nodded and led dozens of Taoist priests to spread out to guard the ground and sky.

Mu Xingqiu raised his head and said to the giant, "I want to fight with you, and you have to use all your strength. Do you understand?"

The giant turned around and punched down with his fist, bringing out a strong wind.

Mu Xingqiu turned into a ball of smoke and flew into the air with magic. Then he used a series of demonic spells and mental illusions on the giant, cleverly luring the giant into resisting.

After a few moves, he noticed that at least three demons inside the giant had used demonic spells.
