Exorcism

Mu Xingqiu sat up suddenly, with only his right hand still on the table. He glanced at the dragon demon lying on the side, and then turned to the other tablemates.

The corner of Yishijun's lips moved to show that he was smiling, and then he said without looking away: "Remember, you owe me a favor. You must pay it back in the future. If you win this battle, the devil soul will belong to me from now on." ”

Mr. Yishi is one against two, and there is also Zuo Liuying among his opponents, but he is now sure of victory. He only needs to ensure that his spells do not exceed the table. Both Zuo and Shen are restrained by the Mirror of Observation. They have already There is no ability to pose much threat to him.

"As long as you can take away the demon soul, I have no objection." Mu Xingqiu said.

Mr. Yishi heard the trap in this sentence and sneered several times, "It's fine if you don't have any opinion. I don't believe that the current demon soul can escape from my grasp."

Among the combatants, Shen Hao was the weakest. All his strength was used to control the mirror. Small beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead. He said without raising his head: "This is a four-way combat."

"I didn't cast a spell." Mu Xingqiu's right hand was still on the table. He did not cast any spell, but wisps of black smoke came out of his hand. It was this black smoke that made the Observation Mirror spell unstable, "I just A talking instrument."

A flash of anger flashed across Shen Hao's slender eyes. This was a look he only had when he was a child. This was the first time he had shown it since he obtained the Taoist Heart. He said nothing more because he knew very well that Mu Xingqiu was telling the truth.

Two thin beams of white light came out of Zuo Liuying's straw hat, one beam shot towards the mirror, and the other beam faced Mr. Yishi's Chang Yu without saying a word.

Only Mr. Qin, who was not participating in the battle, turned to look at Mu Xingqiu, "Are you possessed by a demon?"

"Um."

"And...you sucked all the demon species into Niwan Palace?"

"Um."

Mr. Qin lowered his head and lightly scratched his thigh with his right index finger. After a while, he said: "You have no chance of winning. With your magic power, even if you sacrifice the Baidan in Niwan Palace, you will only be able to win." If you imprison the demon for two or three hours, it will escape before noon today, unless you really voluntarily become a demon."

If Mu Xingqiu voluntarily became a demon, it would not be him imprisoning the demon, but the demon tightly controlling him.

Mu Xingqiu did not cast any spells in the fighting area on the table. This was not only to comply with the rules, but also because he had no spare power. All his magic power was used to imprison all the demon species. The cloud tide was trapping him in the Niwan Palace. In the battle of beasts, as for the evil thoughts in the mind, spells have no effect on them and must be removed with will.

Mu Xingqiu's memory is clear and organized, like a carefully maintained royal garden, while demonic thoughts are like a group of large and small beasts, emerging from outside the garden, from the ground, and from the air, wherever they pass. Flowers are withered, trees are broken, and weeds are growing upwards.

Compared with the demon species in Niwan Palace, this is a greater danger. Mu Xingqiu has not yet had a direct battle with the demonic thoughts at this time. He concentrates on maintaining the memory garden in his mind, making the trees stand up again, and letting the demons stand up again. The remaining flowers are blooming again. This is a competition with no end in sight. The first thing he has to do is not to be impatient.

Becoming a demon is not something that happens overnight. Many people, especially those with a strong will, have fought against demonic thoughts for a long time, but most people are ultimately defeated.

"Why is it that the stronger the power, the more difficult it is to stop demonic thoughts?" Mu Xingqiu asked this question to all parties present, not just Mr. Qin. "Ordinary humans and monsters are only slightly affected."

The first one to give an answer was Mr. Yishi. Among the three parties in the fight, he was the most leisurely. "Because ordinary humans and monsters are too weak, good birds still choose trees to live in, no matter whether they are demons or demons, I don’t look down on the weak at all.”

"The demon species that escaped from Wangshan once invaded many humans and monsters. They were all sent to Zhibu State. After being trained by Dao Fire, many people's demonic thoughts were removed and they became tree planters with special physiques. But this trick is not useful for Taoist priests. Taoist priests have Tao fire burning in their bodies, but as a result, they become more possessed by demons. Mu Xingqiu is puzzled by this without even having to be invaded by demon seeds.

"Haha, the stronger the power, the stronger the demonic thoughts, so you have to be careful." Mr. Yishi didn't pay much attention to this conversation. He glanced at Mr. Qin from time to time, ready to receive the spoils, although the demonic soul didn't know it at the moment. Wherever he is hiding, he is still inextricably linked to Mr. Qin. If he catches him, he will be able to find the demon soul sooner or later.

Shen Hao raised his eyes and looked at Mu Xingqiu, "You can end this fight."

Although Mu Xingqiu did not cast any spells in the fighting area, as long as he took his right hand out of the table, the demon would leave. Even if the dragon demon lost, the mirror would return to its original state, leaving Yishi Jun alone. , will definitely lose.

"This is not okay, this is a lie, Mu Xingqiu, even if you die, you have to keep your palm. The demon will not break through your Niwan Palace before noon. I only need... one hour, yes, just one hour, "Hold on."

It was already dawn outside, and it was less than three hours before noon. Most of the residents in the imperial capital were either unconscious or hiding in their homes and did not dare to move.

Shen Hao still stared at Mu Xingqiu, "You were once a Taoist priest from Pangshan, and you have always been a Taoist priest. It is your bounden duty to eliminate demons. Even if you don't support the war between Taoists and demons, do you have to become a demon? What do you want to prove? No. Demons, those who are possessed by demons cannot stir up big waves. I can intercede with Taoist authorities and let all those who are possessed by demons fend for themselves."

Mu Xingqiu said nothing, and Shen Hao continued: "The stronger the power, the easier it is for self-confidence, arrogance, and complacency. This is the fertile soil for demonic thoughts. Mu Xingqiu, you cannot defeat the demonic seeds and demonic thoughts on your own. Let Taoism help you.”

"Don't listen to his nonsense. Taoism's help will turn you into an idiot." Mr. Yishi interrupted, and then laughed twice, "You are Mu Xingqiu, you will definitely not be convinced by a Taoist priest."

Shen Hao shook his head gently. Although he was far lower in the inner alchemy realm, he firmly believed that he could see further because the entire Taoist tradition lifted him to a high place. "This is the devil's thought, Mu Xingqiu, you are too You are arrogant. You have already given birth to demonic thoughts without the invasion of demonic seeds. Your current resistance is completely meaningless, but you still have a chance to stop being possessed. The greatest resistance to being possessed is not to try it yourself, but to fight it off. Leave it to Taoism."

There is only a short distance between arrogance and self-confidence, and I cannot make a judgment on this. Mu Xingqiu thought for a while and turned his gaze to Zuo Liuying, who had been silent.

Zuo Liuying still refused to speak. He placed his right hand on his straw hat and concentrated on casting spells. Except for the two thin beams of light, he paid no attention to anything around him.

"The Dragon Demon and I have a plan." Mu Xingqiu said. Beside him, the Dragon Demon was still unconscious. "The stronger the power, the deeper the demonic thoughts. This is probably because strong people can't help but fight against the demonic thoughts." He used his own power, but it was his demonic thoughts that were strengthened."

Mr. Yishi couldn't help but show his cleverness and immediately said: "Oh, it turns out that you imprisoned the demon species in Niwan Palace to contain your own magic power to avoid accidentally casting spells on the demonic thoughts. This is a good idea, but there are What's the use? Your Niwan Palace can only hold on until noon...I'm not suggesting you give up. At least until I win this battle, I'm helping you."

"And Mu Dong'er is helping me." Mu Xingqiu said.

"Your son?" Mr. Yishi laughed, "He is really lucky to have a father like you. Where is he? How can he help you?"

"His original body must be in the Imperial Capital. I don't know where exactly, but the demon seeds and demon thoughts in his body have been transferred to me." Mu Xingqiu still looked at Zuo Liuying, "Can humans and demons be able to Become a demon, why can’t demons do that?”

"The demon species has already become a demon. Do you still need to become a demon?" Mr. Yishi asked.

"Of course, the 'possession' of demon species is different from that of humans or monsters. It should be said that it is exactly the opposite. Human beings become possessed by demons and become extreme, while demon species' 'possession' of demons - I hope they will calm down because of this."

Mr. Yishi was stunned and almost affected his spell. He hurriedly stabilized his feathers and then said: "Whose idea was this, you or the dragon demon?"

"Dragon Demon."

This is why the Dragon Demon insisted on "sending" Mu Dong'er to the demon species in the first place. As the son of a Taoist priest who gave birth to Taoist roots, he is more suitable than most people to serve as the reverse "devil's mind". As for when Mu Dong'er would be used, Long Mo had no clear plan at that time. She only knew that it would definitely be useful one day.

"Zhenhuan is so smart...so crazy? So you are just using magic to imprison the demon species. It is your son who is fighting the demon species in Niwan Palace. Will he listen to you?" Mr. Yishi shook his head and smiled. I thought this was both strange and interesting.

"The Dragon Demon is trying to persuade him." Mu Xingqiu replied.

"It turns out that this is why she quit fighting." Mr. Yishi was a little angry, "Dragon Demon is really a good comrade."

Mr. Qin spoke, "No." He said, not thinking that Mu Xingqiu and the dragon demon's plan was strange at all, "This is just to give the demon a different opponent. The demon has no wisdom, Mu Xingqiu, You can't make them become possessed, but Dragon Demon and Mu Dong'er will suffer greatly from it. The thing that can make the devil become possessed is here."

Mr. Qin pointed to his head.

"That's enough, Mu Xingqiu." Shen Hao said sternly, not expecting that he would agree with the demon soul. "The dragon demon's ideas are your ideas. You both like to take dangerous paths. It used to be very effective, but that's just Luck, Mu Xingqiu, if you continue like this, you will not only destroy yourself."

Mu Xingqiu still looked at Zuo Liuying, waiting persistently for him to express his opinion.

"The method of further destruction." Zuo Liuying finally spoke.

Mu Xingqiu once used the method of re-annihilation to eliminate the demonic thoughts of many people, but at that time the demons had not yet left the void, and the few who escaped had been wiped out.

"I don't dare to use it now. The method of re-annihilation is a demon spell. The demon species will control me the moment I cast the spell." Mu Xingqiu said.

Zuo Liuying looked at Mr. Qin, and those four words were actually meant for him.
