Exorcism

After the founders Kun Chuan and Zuo Liuying, the third Taoist priest Fu Rimang was born. Before that, he was neither a high-level Taoist priest like Fu Yuemang or Zhu Shen nor a genius with extraordinary understanding. The moment Kun Chao came to the world, he He is just an ordinary Wangshan Tunyan Taoist priest who practices diligently and improves his realm step by step.

His name is Shi Hanyuan.

Most of the people in the Daotong Tower were in various states of meditation, while a few people were reading books and preparing for the next round of meditation. In this silence, the unknown Taoist priest broke through the last obstacle, and the sun shone from two sides. The eyes poured into the Niwan Palace, and then the meridians spread throughout the body.

Almost no one noticed such a big thing. Only Zuo Liuying, who was sitting on the eighth floor of the tower, had an idea. He had been paying attention to this Taoist priest for some time and immediately sent an invitation to him using the method of traveling.

Shi Hanyuan walked out of his practice room, climbed up the stairs, nodded politely to everyone he met, and walked all the way to Zuo Liuying's room. He stood at the door for a moment before stepping in.

He is one hundred and ninety-one years old this year, and looks about fifty years old. His beard and hair are half gray, and his expression is aloof. It is not the aloofness of someone who has been in a high position for a long time, but is the reticence of someone whose family background is declining and whose talents are not appreciated: others do not pay attention to them. They don't pay attention to others, they stand quietly on the edge and guard in the corner, and would rather act as indifferent bystanders that no one likes in the bustle.

"The Shi family has been hidden for more than seven thousand years." Zuo Liuying said. He has the family records of all the disciples of the Nine Dao Traditions. The Shi family is one of the ancient Dao Tradition surnames. It was once on par with the Shen and Yang families, but has long since declined. Unfortunately, the last Taoist priest above spiritual concentration appeared more than 7,000 years ago, and since then there have been only a few Xingluo Taoist priests.

Shi Hanyuan was nearly 200 years old and was still in the state of smoking, which was considered normal among his family. He then improved his state to the state of smoking in less than a year. The speed was unprecedented, especially since he had no adventure. What he did Everything is just silent thinking.

"The Zuo family only produced one Zuo Liuying." Shi Hanyuan's tone contained a hint of sarcasm, lacking the composure that a Taoist priest from Fu Rimang should have.

Both refused to talk in a fugue anymore.

"The Patriarch chose me. Shi Hanyuan turned to look at the incense burner in the corner. It had not emitted smoke for a while, "Because I come from an ancient Taoist family, I am loyal and trustworthy, and I can accept the Patriarch's magic without reservation. "

Zuo Liuying stared at Shi Hanyuan, "In the past, Dao Tong called your state of painting calamity - you are addicted to your own portrait, and you would add one or two strokes to the painting from time to time to make it more perfect, but the difference between it and yourself. getting bigger."

"Jealous, even Zuo Liuying, who has no heart as a Taoist priest, will be jealous." Shi Hanyuan's smile was also aloof, but more confident than before, "The spells of the ancestors are like rain and dew, everyone in the world gets it, only those who are open-minded will benefit. At most, it's a pity that people are complacent, and very few people are willing to give up part of it. Even the master who obeys Yuemang is unwilling to give up the last bit of 'my heart'. You are the first person to understand this, but outside of your heart. You have a bad intention, and the Patriarch has no choice but to use you. I am the second comprehender, more pure and loyal than you, so it is up to me to uphold the Patriarch's will, and you can withdraw. "

"The magic weapon can only accommodate it, but cannot uphold it." In Zuo Liuying's view, Shi Hanyuan can no longer be called a true Taoist priest.

The two stared at each other for a while, then raised their hands to attack.

There was no visible magic coming out of the fingers, only a small red dot appeared in the middle of the two people, as if there was an invisible thin line connecting the two fingers more than ten steps apart, and hanging in the middle. A ruby.

The two were in a stalemate for a while, and the red dot began to expand, gradually turning into a fireball about a foot in diameter. From then on, they were in a stalemate again.

"The Patriarch has never believed in you and let you do whatever you want because everything is under the control of the Patriarch." Shi Hanyuan was a little excited. From swallowing cigarettes to taking sunflower seeds, the change was so big that he couldn't bear it. "You will The rebellious Taoist priest sent Mu Xingqiu to the Devil's Cave just because he was worried that he would lose his original intention, so he gave him a group of companions. The founder had a clear dream about this, so he took away the nine treasures and hid them in an unknown place. Strengthen the Demon Cave again, and no matter where the prisoners are hiding, they will not be able to escape from the Demon Cave.”

Shi Hanyuan gradually got used to his own strength, and the expression on his face became dull, "The Patriarch has another move, can you guess it?"

"He wants to destroy the Demon Cave. Zuo Liuying said.

Shi Hanyuan's eyes turned from dull to cold. When the fight is evenly matched, destroying the opponent's state of mind is the necessary means to win, but until now he has not succeeded. Zuo Liuying obviously does not have the heart of a Taoist priest, but he is stronger than any Taoist priest.

"The Patriarch originally wanted to refine Mu Xingqiu's soul, but he came up with other ways to find the demon soul. Mu Xingqiu was useless, and pulling out the demon cave was useless."

Zuo Liuying remained calm, and the fingers hanging in front of him moved slightly. The fireball suddenly expanded dozens of times, engulfing the entire room. The two Taoist priests stood in the fire and continued to fight.

The flames burned out the truth. The Taoist Tower was composed of countless spells. The light wandered endlessly in the middle of the wall. A dozen spells of light could be stepped on under one foot.

Even Taoist priest Fu Rimang can only see the light and cannot distinguish more details inside.

The tower was shaking, Xuan Hanyuan closed his mouth, and had no energy to attack with words. After a while, he took a step back, the corners of his mouth twitched, then took another step back, his face turned red, and he took another step back, his eyes widened, and he stepped back. In the fourth step, sweat beaded on his forehead. In the fifth step, he exited the room. The fight ended and the Daotong Tower returned to normal.

Zuo Liuying fought off his opponent, but failed to kill him.

Shi Hanyuan took three breaths and said to Zuo Liuying in the room: "Okay, you are still of use to the Patriarch for the time being. The room is yours. I will find another way to fulfill the Patriarch's wishes."

"You have been implanted into the remnant soul of another person." Zuo Liuying said that during the battle, he discovered something strange. Shi Hanyuan's soul had hidden mysteries and had more things than normal people.

"That was a gift from the Patriarch." Shi Hanyuan slammed the white door shut. With him here, the door did not need to be opened.

The vibration of the tower just now has awakened many Taoist priests. They came out of the tower one after another to listen to this strange call. Two Taoist priests who served Yuemang were especially surprised. They have been ordered to attack Yelin Town. In a few days, They were about to set off, but now there was an extra commander inexplicably.

"I am Shi Hanyuan. The Patriarch chose me to implement his war plan. Come on, sober Taoist priest, come with me to purify this world. The end of the demons has come!"

Shi Hanyuan flew out of the Daotong Tower and floated in the air, holding a sword in one hand and a bell in the other. He said in a solemn voice: "Practitioners, it's time to fight."

His voice contained endless magic power. The two Taoist priests who served Yuemang were the first to feel its power. They flew out of the Taoist Tower and guarded him on the left and right. The position was slightly lower, so more Taoist priests came out of the tower and lined up around Shi Hanyuan.

There were more than 3,000 Taoist priests who obeyed the call. Shi Hanyuan was very satisfied. The Taoist priests who stayed in the tower were either too low-level to be used, or too high-level to obey the command. These Taoist priests surrounding him were the fighting essence of the Taoism.

Shi Hanyuan shook the golden bell of flowing fire in his left hand, and the sound of the bell spread thousands of miles away. The sword without splendor in his right hand frightened the hearts of thousands of people.

Practitioners inside and outside the imperial capital also felt the magic in the sound, and rose into the air one after another, bowing to the Taoist priests from a distance. There were more than 50,000 in number.

It was the end of May. It was just over half a month ago that the last group of 500 Taoist priests set out for Yelin Town. A real Taoist army set off.

Millions of mortals inside and outside the imperial capital looked up and saw a long dragon-like procession of immortals radiating golden light, moving toward the northwest at an extremely fast speed. After the procession, the golden light continued not to dissipate until three days later. fade away.

It was during these three days that Emperor Ci issued a series of orders. He wanted to personally march on the battlefield and start a battle with the demon clan in advance. The last batch of troops set off one after another, leaving the imperial capital empty, leaving only women and children.

Zuo Liuying still came to visit Zeng Fu and Qilin as promised.

"Can't you stop this war?" Zeng Fu asked as soon as they met.

Zuo Liuying shook his head, "I can't go against my ancestor's intention. Only in this way can I survive and gain strength."

"But what's the use? Once the war starts, everyone will die." Zeng Fu sighed, knowing that he shouldn't blame Zuo Liuying, "Are many people really going to die?"

"It's inevitable. Maybe it can be reduced a little."

"What can you do?" Zeng Fu hugged Qilin's neck. It had grown to about the same size as an adult deer, and its silver horns were shining brightly. It still wanted to run up to Zuo Liuying and rub it against Zuo Liuying just like when he was a child.

"I need you to do me a favor."

"Me? I'm willing to help, but I don't seem to have much ability."

"I just want you to send a message. I can't find a trustworthy helper among the Taoist priests."

"Okay, tell me, I will definitely deliver it."

"You can also ask other people for help. It must be the person you trust the most."

"It's me, tell me quickly, what message? To whom?"

"Send it to Yang Qingyin in Yelin Town and tell her that the Patriarch brought out Shen Geng's soul from the Devil's Cave. The most selfish, cruel, and sturdy soul was divided into several parts to shape the murderous intention of the strong. The Taoist Shi Hanyuan is one, the Three Soul Monster is probably another, and there may be others.”

Zeng Fu was stunned when he heard this, "How many parts can the soul be divided into? What kind of magic is this?"

"What others cannot do, the Patriarch can do. These remnant souls will drive all parties to fight against each other. He will bring chaos to the world, make people's hearts wander and prevent peace, and force the demon souls to awaken in advance."

"Oh my god, is the Patriarch... can Mu Xingqiu really break through the Demon Drawing Cave and come out to defeat the Patriarch?"

"I'm not worried about Mu Xingqiu's strength, I'm just worried that he will change his original intention at the last moment like Kun Chaos."

Zuo Liuying sent a large number of innocent Taoist priests to the Bamo Cave to help Mu Xingqiu. He did not know that at this moment, Mu Xingqiu was practicing alone in a pearl, with no one around him.
