Exorcism

Sun Yulu flew around the pit, stopping seven times. Each time she would light the oil lamp and observe the direction of the flames. Then she narrowed the area and observed it again in the inner circle. Finally, she returned to Mu Xingqiu and said, "Five There is only one living soul within seven days, and I guess this is Qin Lingshuang. There are also fourteen souls that are seven days old and less than forty-nine days old, probably left over from the previous battle tomorrow. You can capture your soul at midnight."

"Tomorrow? That's already the eighth day." Mu Xingqiu looked around and saw a faint battle scene under the white snow. It was hard to believe that seven days had passed.

"Not absorbing souls is an iron rule of Luanjing Mountain. I have to wait until the eighth day to cast the spell."

"I heard that after seven days, the soul will gradually lose its memory."

A trace of pity flashed in Sun Yulu's eyes, "Souls are not the continuation of life, let alone another way of existence. They are like... the echo in the valley and the aftermath on the water, weakening every moment until they are no longer visible. The candle spell can prolong the process, but it cannot reverse their weakening trend. I hope you can understand this now. After you retrieve Qin Lingshuang's soul, you will face a choice. I hope you choose to let nature take its course. "

Mu Xingqiu inherited Fangfang's habit and smiled, "Look, you want to defeat Feng Ruhui and recapture Luanjing Mountain. Zuo Liuying and Shen Jixian want to rescue the master and the Five Elements disciples, and I also have my own plan. Let us cooperate with each other but not interfere with each other.”

Sun Yulu also smiled, "Don't worry, Zuo Liuying reminded me that you have a special magical sword that can be used to restrain souls. You don't need to use yourself as a magical weapon."

Mu Xingqiu was carrying a big sword, and the clone of the big sword was trampled under his feet, "Zuo Liuying really knows everything."

"He has the Patriarch Tower and can see many more things."

"This is a magic weapon I just refined more than a month ago. I absorbed a lot of demon species in Wangshan."

"This may be the last batch of magic weapons that were dyed before Wang was sealed." Sun Yulu stared at the sword shape at Mu Xingqiu's feet for a while, "I need to test it. See if it is suitable as a soul weapon. residence."

Mu Xingqiu pulled out the big sword, held the hilt in his right hand, and held the sword body in his left hand. He held it up in front of his chest and handed it to Sun Yulu, without any intention of letting go.

Sun Yulu did not take the sword. She lit a candle and an oil lamp in the air. She held a bronze mirror in each hand and patiently shone the sword back and forth, while her eyes were fixed on the flame of the lamp. Seems to be talking to them.

The two flames alternated between strong and weak, and kept swaying. It seemed to Mu Xingqiu that there was no pattern, but Sun Yulu's eyes did not blink.

For fear of missing a little bit of information.

After a full quarter of an hour, she put away all the magic weapons and said, "Okay, there will be several Dengzhu Taoist priests who will arrive in Duanliu City tomorrow, and we will add the soul-binding spell to this sword together. What's its name?"

"No name yet."

"A good sword should not be unknown. This is prepared for Qin Lingshuang, let's call it 'Frost Soul'."

Mu Xingqiu said nothing.

Sun Yulu continued: "One more thing, we only want Qin Lingshuang's soul, although it will inevitably absorb other nearby souls. But the less, the better, especially if it cannot affect the living people nearby. Someone has to create a circle of forbidden spells. Left The two leaders, Shen, are not good enough, and the number of other Pangshan Taoist priests is too small. I still need a large number of talisman masters."

Not the first one? Mu Xingqiu was confused but didn't ask, and Sun Yulu didn't explain.

"There are many talisman masters on the other side." When Mu Xingqiu turned around occasionally, he could see the situation on the east bank of the Jie River and knew that the ** teams had not retreated yet. Especially there are a large number of Fu Lu masters in the Huang Fu Army camp.

"It's up to you to invite them here. Luan Jingshan and Long Binhui are not familiar with each other."

"Even at a time like this, you refuse to forget who you are."

"Taoist priests will never forget anything. We will only ask various Taoist families for help. Several other Taoist families rejected us. It is not that they are completely indifferent, but that we cannot agree to the conditions they proposed. Only Pangshan is different. Your people have been Trapped in Luanjing Mountain, we help each other, and no one owes anyone anything. Long Binhui is full of desires, and asking them for help in the name of Taoism is risky, but you are different. You are not only Pangshan Taoist, but also 'General Mu'. ”

"I will find a talisman master to help." Mu Xingqiu said.

Sun Yulu nodded, "This is the last day that Qin Lingshuang's soul has all the memories. Although there is no difference in my opinion, there is no communication between the living person and the soul, but... this place belongs to you.

Luanjingshan Taoist priests flew back to the city.

Mu Xingqiu breathed a sigh of relief, like a picky host who finally sent away an uninvited guest.

It was afternoon, a rare sunny day in the past few days, very much like the day of the decisive battle, except that there was a big pit under Mu Xingqiu's feet, and the bottom of the pit was filled with golden solidified copper liquid. Although the heat had long since disappeared, the previous day A heavy snowfall did not leave any traces on it, and it was yellow and clear, like a lake reflecting the sunset.

This feeling can have a hundred explanations, each of which has nothing to do with the soul, so Mu Xingqiu did not mention it to anyone, but refused to move even half a step away, for fear that this feeling would disappear, even if it was just an illusion, he would keep it up.

As the sun set, the night faded, the moon rose and the moon set, Mu Xingqiu floated motionless until the next morning, seven days later, he finally descended back to the ground.

Half of the people in Duanliu City saw this scene and couldn't help but sigh softly at the same time, as if their hearts also dropped.

Under the dilapidated city gate, several Taoist priests were standing there waiting for him. Each of them prepared a few words of comfort. To their surprise, Mu Xingqiu walked towards him with a rosy face and a smile. He had just landed. It was slightly unstable, but it returned to normal after two steps.

He didn't seem to need any comfort at all, and seven days of not eating, drinking, or moving seemed to have any effect on him.

Shen Hao stepped forward. Although he had the heart of a Taoist priest, he was still an inspiratory Taoist priest. He was far from being ruthless and giving up his desires. "We heard about Sun Yulu's purpose. Do you really agree... Jushou Fang Fang’s soul?”

"Yes. I agree."

Shen Hao glanced at the other Taoist priests and said, "We all feel that this Sun Yulu is not trustworthy."

Mu Xingqiu nodded and looked around, his eyes lingering on Yang Qingyin's face for a while longer. She was the only one with no confusion or questioning in her eyes, but a suppressed anger.

"So I'm asking you to do me a favor."

"What's the matter? Just ask." Xin Youtao rushed to say.

"Tonight at midnight, the Taoist priests of Luanjing Mountain are going to use the method of soul-binding and soul-pulling. From now on, help me guard the surrounding area. Don't let anyone get close, and don't let anyone out during the spell."

Sun Yulu is a Taoist priest from Dinxia, ​​and her helpers are not low-level. It is not easy to stop them, but several Taoist priests from Pangshan happily agreed.

Mu Xingqiu said to Yang Qingyin: "Can you accompany me to the Huang Fu Army camp? I also need some help from some Fu Lu masters."

Yang Qingyin hummed, and Xin Youtao interrupted: "You two don't need to go, I can go, or let my sister help..."

Mu Xingqiu patted Xin Youtao on the shoulder and said, "This is just a small matter. You and the princess don't need to come forward."

Shen Hao and others stayed behind, while Mu Xingqiu and Yang Qingyin flew to the east bank of Jiehe River, keeping silent all the way until they flew over Jiehe River. Yang Qingyin suddenly lowered her height and stopped, and asked seriously: "What on earth are you thinking? This is not like the Mu Xingqiu of before."

"What would I have done in the past?"

"In the past, you practiced heaven-defying techniques, dared to refuse invitations from the Five Elements Department, and did not forget to condense elixirs when you were at the institute. But now, like a high-level Taoist priest who has been practicing for hundreds of years, you seem to have seen through everything. You really have seen through everything. "

"Zuo Liuying once said. Fangfang and I are in a love catastrophe. Unless one of us dies, the other can end the love catastrophe."

Yang Qingyin was slightly startled, "Have you survived the tribulation?"

"No. Zuo Liuying is not omnipotent. He also makes mistakes sometimes. He was born as a Taoist priest and only has practice in his eyes. Billions of mortals live in the world, but he turns a blind eye. He cannot imagine a life without practice, let alone a life without practice. Some people will refuse to practice and endure tribulations.”

"What do you mean? You don't want to survive the disaster?"

"Why should I survive this calamity? This is the memory Fangfang left for me, and I will keep it forever."

Yang Qingyin looked at Mu Xingqiu, "You know the danger of not being able to survive the disaster, right?"

"I know, this means that every time my cultivation level improves, there is a possibility of becoming a demon, especially when I achieve a higher level of Taoism."

"Aren't you afraid?"

"I am not a disciple of the Taoist sect. I am Mu Xingqiu from Yelin Town. I have been running horses since I was a child. I am a child from a poor family. I will always encounter various accidents in my life. My father used to say, 'Life is not easy. Even rich people always have troubles. At that time, no one loved the poor, the rich looked down on the poor, the government harassed the poor, and even God didn't care about the poor, always making rain and snow when you were hungry. Life is not easy for everyone alive. You should all feel lucky that you are not sick and have no disasters, and you should be even more grateful if you have arms and legs. So stop cheating with me and get up and let the horse go. The big stick in your father's hand is not forgiving."

Yang Qingyin listened carefully at first, but in the end she couldn't help laughing, "You want to say that you don't care about being possessed at all?"

"Only those who wear silk and satin will walk carefully with umbrellas on rainy days, for fear of catching a drop of water. Children from poor families want to take off all their clothes and roll in the rain and mud, regardless of whether they are dirty or not. , is there any danger? Zuo Liuying is afraid of all possibilities of being possessed. To me, 'may be possessed' means 'maybe not possessed'. I have nothing to fear."

Yang Qingyin understood a little bit, and a knot in her heart was slowly unraveling. This knot was not formed recently, but had existed for many years. "According to what you said, I am also a rich person, and I can't bear to part with the silk and satin on my body. Don’t dare to get wet in the rain.”

"It's up to you to decide. I just want to keep the Taoist calamity that Fangfang left for me. www.kansh.cIf I become possessed tomorrow and am killed by Zuo Liuying, so what? My life is full of accidents. , Don’t care about one more. Everything that is known is in the hands of the strong, and everything that is unknown is the hope of the weak.”

Yang Qingyin said in shock: "It's really strange. You said you and Zuo Liuying are not from the same place, but you actually said similar things. Xiao Qingtao told me that Zuo Liuying once said, 'The unknown is the best friend of Pangshan Taoism. '."

"That's because the current Pangshan Taoism has become weak." Mu Xingqiu shrugged, not paying attention to the tacit understanding between himself and Zuo Liuying.

"If Qin Lingshuang knew your thoughts in advance, she would still..."

"She can. She is also a born Taoist priest, but she was not born into a Taoist family. She is a 'rich person' and unexpectedly fell in love with me, a 'poor boy'."

Yang Qingyin laughed and found that Mu Xingqiu had not changed, "What should I do now? Will Qu Xungui really help you?"

"The rich will pay and the poor will work hard. This is my plan."
