Exorcism

Zuo Liuying's simple words caused more shock than Mu Xingqiu's painstakingly conceived narration, but he didn't have the chance to see the scene behind. There was a white light in front of his eyes, and he was teleported out of the flower hall and stood outside the restriction.

There was no sign of a flower farmer in the huge academy. The mature spiritual flowers and herbs were in decline, and there was a faint sign of decadence. Mu Xingqiu bent down and picked up an unknown pure yellow flower from the ground, thinking how sad Shen Xiuming would be if he saw such a scene.

Shen Jixian, the head of the Five Elements Department, appeared in front of Mu Xingqiu by teleportation. He was not as kind as usual. There was no smile on his face, and his white beard and hair showed a bit of seriousness. "You and Zuo Liuying discussed it, right?"

"What did you discuss?" Mu Xingqiu didn't understand where this question came from.

"He taught you those words and asked you to say them in public, and then he took the initiative to offer to be your protector." Shen Jixian's tone was simply aggressive.

Mu Xingqiu shook his head slowly, placed the yellow flower on a complete leaf, and then looked directly into Shen Jixian's eyes, "No, everything I said is what I really think, and it has nothing to do with Zuo Liuying or anyone else."

The two looked at each other for a moment, Shen Jixian's expression eased a little, and he sighed, "I really don't understand, Pangshan is in ruins, you and Zuo Liuying don't lend a hand to help, but you actually want to add insult to injury."

"Where do you get this from?" Mu Xingqiu was very surprised. He withdrew from the Taoist school because he was worried that his behavior might affect the revival of Pangshan, and he never had any other thoughts.

Shen Jixian was angry when he came, but now he slowly trusts this young Taoist again, "It seems that you really don't know. The status of the Taoist priests is special. According to convention, they usually discuss and decide on the joint actions of the Taoist sects. There are more than 50 Taoist priests in the nine major sects, some of whom are in seclusion. In addition, Wangshan is closed. The remaining Taoist priests of the eight sects are all here, a total of 23. Do you know how many of them are Pang Shan? Two, the master and Zuo Liuying. The two of them can ensure that Pang Shan will not be at an absolute disadvantage in the discussion, but Zuo Liuying... Zuo Shouzuo made his own decision without consulting the master, letting outsiders see Pang Shan's incompatibility. It's even more ridiculous that he wants to be your protector." "I never thought of letting Zuo Shouzuo be my protector. He proposed this idea, but I didn't say I agreed. Shen Jixian looked at Mu Xingqiu in astonishment, and suddenly laughed, "No wonder some people say you are 'shameless'." His smile only lasted for a short while, "The key to the problem is not you, but Zuo Liuying. I know he was dissatisfied with Yang Yannian's succession as Grandmaster, but I didn't expect him to do this. Hey, this is indeed his usual style. "

Mu Xingqiu still didn't understand, "Zuo Shouzu wants to be my protector, is the influence so big?"

"Since you are not involved... Zuo Liuying really didn't give you any hints?"

"I just came back last night, Zuo Shouzu didn't have the opportunity to give me hints."

Shen Jixian snorted. If Zuo Liuying wanted to give hints to anyone, there would be opportunities anytime and anywhere, but Shen Jixian still tended to believe Mu Xingqiu, "It's none of your business for the time being. You are not a disciple of Pangshan now. I can't give you orders. I can only suggest that you don't take the demon pills or other weird things. The Taoist priests of the Injection God still attach great importance to this matter, and they will make a decision."

"Okay." Mu Xingqiu was not in a hurry. First of all, he had to make sure that he would not resist in the process of demon transformation. Secondly, he also wanted to know what the Taoist priests of the Injection God thought of the demon transformation technique.

"Did Zhao Zhijin really get killed by you? He is the fifth level of Xingluo. "Shen Jixian couldn't help but be curious about this. He himself was at the seventh level of Xingluo, and it was basically impossible for him to rise to the realm of infusion. If Mu Xingqiu could kill a Taoist priest at the fifth level of Xingluo, it meant that his strength was not far behind his, which was a bit embarrassing.

"That was an accident. Taoist Zhao was in an unstable state of mind and revealed a flaw."

"So you used the mind illusion technique, I understand." Shen Jixian breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't believe that Mu Xingqiu really had this kind of strength. "You can go. I hope you can stay in Duanliu City... Alas, Zuo Liuying really brought a big trouble to Pang Shan."

Shen Jixian disappeared in a hurry, and until the end he did not explain what effect Zuo Liuying's words had on Pang Shan.

When Mu Xingqiu came to Duanliu City, the first person he met was not the member of the Demon Slayer Association who had already made an appointment to meet, but Shen Xiuming. Shen Xiuming was also the first person to ask about the bald man when they met, "Did the bald man get lost alone?"

"There should be a Taoist priest from Luanjing Mountain with him. "This is the most shameful thing for Mu Xingqiu. He lost Baldy, but it is a blessing for the moment. If he brings Baldy back, he will have to hand him over to Yashan, but he has not heard Yashan's promise not to hurt Baldy.

"It's better this way. Baldy must be scared." The person who is scared every time they meet is usually Shen Xiuming, but now he is worried about Baldy.

Two children's heads appeared from behind Shen Xiuming, and Zhang Xianger asked: "Are you not a disciple of Pangshan?"

"Well, not anymore." Mu Xingqiu said with a smile.

"What about me? Will Pangshan accept me as a disciple in the future?"

"And me." Shen Cunyi whispered, he was a little scared, although Mu Xingqiu always smiled, he was still a little scared.

"In a few years, you will all be disciples of Pangshan. At that time, I will give you a gift each, and when you condense your Qi into a pill, I will give you another one."

Zhang Xianger cheered, "Can I know what the gift is in advance?"

"I haven't decided yet, but it will definitely be of great help to practice. ”

"Maybe." Mu Xingqiu's gift standard was much higher than this.

Zhang Xiang'er cheered again and pulled Shen Cunyi and ran outside the house. Shen Cunyi followed her obediently. He was not particularly interested in the gift. He felt that Aunt Tao's paper bird was more to his liking.

Shen Xiuming looked at the backs of the two children, and did not look back until they successfully crossed the threshold. "Zhang Xiang'er will be a great Taoist priest. As long as he is a little better than me, he will be able to put aside his differences."

"Don't be too absolute." Mu Xingqiu was not able to see a person's potential, but he knew that the level of spiritual practice was not only related to intelligence.

Shen Xiuming suddenly remembered something, turned around and picked up a rectangular wooden box on the desk, "A letter written by the princess was sent to me."

The wooden box was very exquisite, but there was no imprint of the Xijie royal family or royal family on it. It was obviously prepared by Shen Xiuming himself. He opened the lid and revealed a scroll of talisman letters inside.

Just as Mu Xingqiu reached out to take it, Shen Hao walked in, "Everyone is already here, let's go over quickly."

Most of the members of the Demon Slayer Club live in Pangshan, but the meeting place is in the backyard of Shen's house in Duanliu City. Shen Xiuming has already cleared the courtyard, and after Shen Hao and Xiao Qingtao cast spells, it is enough to accommodate nearly two hundred Taoist priests.

Mu Xingqiu put away the princess' letter and walked to the backyard with Shen Hao.

"Did you really teach the Dharma to a group of Taoist priests?" Shen Hao asked as he walked.

"That was not a lecture, I just felt the need to tell them some of the things I learned."

"Haha, it's really yours." Shen Hao strode as if the backyard was a battlefield with the demon clan, "The matter has spread, you have to explain the demon-transforming pill. If you really transform into a demon, kill The demon society has become a big joke."

The courtyard was full of people, most of whom Mu Xingqiu had seen in the imperial capital. He was somewhat surprised to find that Yashan Dinxia Taoist priest Liao Huayuan had also arrived, but Shen Jiyi did not show up. Most of the new recruits were Taoist priests from Wandishan Mountain, and the leader was Yang Chun, a Taoist priest from Dianxia. He nodded to Mu Xingqiu in the crowd to express his support.

Different from the focus of attention of the high-level Taoist priests, the low-level Taoist priests were not interested in the few words Zuo Liuying said, but they were surprised and envious of Mu Xingqiu's boldness. As soon as they saw him, they surrounded him and talked nonsense. He asked incessantly, and finally the questions converged into one: Does Mu Xingqiu really want to transform into a demon?

"I have witnessed with my own eyes the pain caused by the art of transforming demons, and six Taoist priests have lost their lives because of it." Mu Xingqiu's words extinguished the excitement of the Taoist priests, especially the Taoist priests from Zhaoshan and Qishan, who immediately looked solemn. Get up, "If I really take the monster pill, it will be to find a solution, not to become a monster."

"Is it necessary to go to such trouble? The Taoist tradition will soon launch an attack on the demon clan, and then our demon-slaying guild will take over and kill the demon clan completely. The so-called demon-transforming technique will no longer exist." A Taoist priest said loudly.

"What if they can't be killed cleanly?" Mu Xingqiu asked. He knew very well that the demon clan couldn't be killed. Not even the Taoist priests with the power of mind could make such a guarantee, let alone a group of low-level Taoist priests. All the Demon Slayer Association can do is to compress the territory of the demon clan and minimize their threat. "The art of transforming demons evolves very quickly. Soon it may not be just a pill, and there is no need to force Taoist priests to take it. It will spread everywhere like unclean air. On the battlefield, we can't be in a safe environment all the time, so we have to kill the demons and prepare the antidote."

The crowd was quiet for a while, then a female Taoist priest said: "Why don't you just say that all this is to save Yang Qingyin? We have no objection."

Many people laughed, a bit ambiguously.

Mu Xingqiu really hoped that things could be so simple. Of course he wanted to save Yang Qingyin, but he was worried that just for Yang Qingyin alone, he would not be able to accept the demon transformation process calmly. Therefore, he had to find a bigger reason.

"Yes, I am here to save Yang Qingyin..."

Just as Mu Xingqiu was struggling with how to answer this question, several balls of water suddenly dropped from the sky and exploded at a height of one person, making a buzzing sound. The expressions of nearly two hundred Taoist priests changed accordingly, and many people immediately rose up and headed towards Fly north.

This was an order sent by each Taoist family to its disciples. Only Mu Xingqiu could not hear the specific content.

Shen Hao could only hear Pang Shan's order. He approached Mu Xingqiu and said seriously: "Pang Shan asked us to go back to the mountain immediately. He said there was something important. Does it have anything to do with you?"

Mu Xingqiu thought for a moment, "It's not me, it's Zuo Liuying."

Mu Xingqiu still couldn't understand the reason, but he knew that Shen Jixian, the leader of the Five Elements Division, was not bluffing, and Zuo Liuying had indeed caused big trouble.
