Chapter 1006 Another Defeat
General Mu walked out, and cheers resounded throughout the valley.
He once again performed miracles, blocking water attacks and inexplicable strong winds, being seriously injured and then surviving, proving his strength beyond doubt, and his strength is the hope of mortals.
The crowd knelt down in large numbers, all extremely excited, and even cried with joy.
General Mu walked around the crowd, touched the palms of some people, and without saying anything, returned to the confinement near the platform. A corpse that looked very similar to him was still lying there.
The followers retreated and formed a circle to discourage more people from getting closer. After all, General Mu was recovering from his illness and needed more rest. Only Su Qiu was an exception. Among them, she was the only one who did not follow General Mu on patrols, but kept going. Staying in the confinement, squatting next to the corpse, hugging his legs, like a child watching ants move.
"Is he really dead?" Shou Que asked.
"Yeah." He answered simply.
"Are you General Mu from now on?"
"Yeah." He answered hesitantly.
Shou Que looked up at the new General Mu and shook his head, "You have his appearance, clothes and hair, but you don't have his determination."
Mu Xingqiu sat powerlessly on the edge of the earthen platform, "Not only that, I don't even have the magic power now, I don't know how to deal with the final wood attack, and there is Zhao Chuye, he will not be deceived, he will come to kill me tomorrow."
"You look even less like General Mu."
"What would he do? Oh, by the way, he died. He put the responsibility on my shoulders and said a bunch of weird things to me, but he didn't ask me if I agreed."
"Maybe he asked."
"Um?"
"You two look so similar, you must have known each other well before. Maybe he once asked you if you would replace him when necessary, and you agreed, so he didn't ask again, and you have forgotten the promise you made at that time." He let out a long sigh, stared at the corpse for a while, raised his head again and asked, "He is dead, can I eat his soul?"
"No, the best destination for the soul is to disappear completely after forty-nine days. Mu Xingqiu immediately objected.
"Are you sure? Didn't you lose your memory?"
Mu Xingqiu was stunned and didn't understand why he could say such a sentence smoothly, "It won't work anyway."
"Can you control me? You don't even have magic power. I can kill you with just a breath."
Mu Xingqiu looked at Shou Que in surprise, "Why have you become disobedient?"
Shou Que stood up abruptly, licked his lips, and said loudly: "I'm hungry, so hungry that I feel dizzy. I want to eat the soul, why can't I eat it? Anyway, he is dead, and the world is in a mess anyway, and it will soon be over." It will be completely destroyed. During this period, everyone should do whatever they want, just like the Taoist priest named Zhao Chuye. I don’t want to die so quickly like General Mu. "
Mu Xingqiu was speechless, and after a while he said: "I have no ability to stop you now. Even if you want to eat my soul, I can't do anything about it, but you want me to agree to your approach, no."
Shou Que glared angrily, and the remnant soul's state of mind was naturally incomplete. Although the most vicious remnant soul had been removed, her character was still unpredictable, and Lian Ye himself had no way to control it.
"I don't need your permission." Shou Que said angrily, but he couldn't break through the thin barrier in his heart and suddenly smiled, "You have no magic power, I can use illusion to control you and make you Just do whatever you want, and then you’ll agree to my soul-eating, haha, what a great idea.”
While she was speaking, she cast a spell, and an illusory spell rushed into Niwan Palace. After wandering for a while, she found that there was really no obstacle and entered her mind unceremoniously.
Mu Xingqiu was at his weakest moment, unable to fight back. His expression immediately became numb, his mouth opened, and there was a roar in his throat, as if he wanted to say something, but no clear words came out.
"Say 'agree' quickly. If you want me to be obedient, I will make you obedient first." Shou Que insisted on going through this circle. The more Mu Xingqiu didn't speak, the angrier she became. He gradually increased his magic power, but suddenly she was stunned.
The corpse on the ground gave off a soft light and quickly disappeared, but the tree-shaped pattern on the chest remained.
"Aren't you dead yet?" Shou Que looked at the corpse and then at the dead living person. He suddenly bent down and picked up the corpse, soared into the sky and flew out of the valley. The mortals in the valley saw her emerging from the confinement. Fly away and no one can stop it.
He also saw the tree-shaped pattern on the chest of the corpse, especially when Shou Qiu took the corpse away, the light of the tree shone slightly, which gave him a revelation.
Before Shou Que left, he broke the restriction and Mu Xingqiu was exposed in front of everyone. Everyone was relieved to see that he was still there.
"Fu Lin." Mu Xingqiu called loudly, and he saw the emperor's grandson in the crowd.
Fu Lin immediately came over and bowed respectfully. He could not see the difference and thought that this was the real General Mu. He had no doubt at all, "General, what did you call me for?"
"How come you're not dead?"
Fu Lin looked at General Mu in shock, not understanding the purpose of this question for a moment, "Uh... this, like everyone else, all relies on General Mu's protection."
Mu Xingqiu found that he asked too abruptly, "I'm sorry, um... Mu Fei told me something. Your blood was used to write the talisman. Now that the talisman of indomitability has been sacrificed, how come you are okay? Where are the others?" "
Fu Lin understood and breathed a sigh of relief, "It turns out that the strong wind during the day was the Standing Talisman. I thought it was part of the water attack. It's strange, why did Grandmaster Zhao sacrifice the talisman in advance? Really, why am I okay? Others are okay too , no one has any special feelings.”
"Not a drop of blood?" Mu Xingqiu remembered that Zhao Chuye's nose was bleeding non-stop at that time.
"No." Fu Lin couldn't figure it out this time. He was relatively proficient in talismans and understood the power of the Talisman of Standing in Heaven. Blood donors should never be left unscathed. Even if General Mu bore the power of the talisman for them, It was time to show something. After thinking for a while, he slapped his forehead and said, "It's Mr. Huangfu. He moved his hands and feet while writing the talisman."
"But as far as I know, Zhao Chuye was indeed injured when he sacrificed the talisman, and Mr. Huangfu is already dead."
Fu Lin lowered his eyes and observed a moment of silence, "Mr. Huangfu is not a talisman. He is just too obsessed with writing talismans, but he doesn't want to harm others. I understand him. Only he can slightly change the rules of writing talismans."
Mu Xingqiu took out the volume from his arms and handed it to Fu Lin, "This is his relic."
Fu Lin took it and looked a little surprised, "Mu Feidian brought it? Is he here specifically to save the general?"
Mu Xingqiu nodded.
"Mu Feidian is a good man, although he is a bit eccentric. In today's world, it is rare for a strong man to do no harm to others. People like General Mu are rare."
Fu Lin flipped through the book to check, but the night was too dark and he had no third eye, so he couldn't see a word clearly.
Mu Xingqiu summoned a stack of paper talismans, "This is also... what Mu Fei gave me via telegraph. It was originally yours, right? Give it back to you."
Fu Lin was even more surprised, "Thank you, General, Mu Feidian... It's really weird. Where did Miss Shouchi take him? Is he okay?" Fu Lin and others only saw Mu Feidian fall, not knowing whether he was dead or not. live.
"Don't worry about him. Take a look at this book. The records in it may be useful, but I don't understand them very well."
General Mu actually asked him for help. Fu Lin was flattered and hurriedly found a lighting talisman. After using it, an oil lamp appeared in the air, illuminating a space in front of Fu Lin. He opened the book. At first he wanted to quickly find the record of the Talisman of Indomitable Heaven and Earth. He became fascinated as he read it. He turned back to the first page and read it carefully again. He completely forgot that General Mu was standing next to him. After a while, he He simply sat on the ground and the small oil lamp descended with him.
Mu Xingqiu did not disturb him. He called a dozen followers aside and asked about the situation in the valley. He also remembered the names of these people to avoid exposing their mistakes.
Jin Cu left the forest and entered the world not long ago. Before the Five Elements Tribulation, the Way of the Weak attracted not many believers. These people actually didn't know much about General Mu, but they just felt that he was more talkative than before after he recovered, which was fine. Didn't see any flaws.
Unconsciously, Mu Xingqiu felt more and more that he was "General Mu". Strictly speaking, he did not agree to Jin Cu's request before his death, but he did not explicitly refuse it. He wanted to know whether he really had the vanity and ambition to be a king, and also wanted to know how long he could last among the crowd.
Mu Xingqiu had nothing more to ask. Fu Lin was still concentrating on reading. Mu Xingqiu returned to the earth platform and sat down to rest. He was very tired and a little sleepy. He closed his eyes but couldn't fall asleep. Every time he opened his eyes, he could always see There were countless eyes staring at him in the dark night.
These mortals literally entrusted their lives to a horse demon.
When the sky was about to dawn, Fu Lin finally read all the books, jumped up, ran to Mu Xingqiu in two steps, and said excitedly: "It is indeed Mr. Huangfu. He invented a new method of writing talismans. There is no way to write talismans." It is written in the talisman of standing tall and standing in the sky, but it is written in another place. Look, it is this sentence, "One stroke and two talismans are probably feasible."
"What do you mean?" Mu Xingqiu didn't know much about Fu Lu.
"Writing a talisman requires concentration. Only those with a firm mind can write a perfect talisman. As soon as the mind moves, the talisman will be broken and it will be regarded as a cut. Even if the strokes are still connected, it will not work. There are eighteen levels of the talisman, from the uncut perfect talisman to the uncut talisman." By the time you reach the seventeenth talisman, the better the talisman is, the more you need to be calm, so you can only write one talisman at a time. This is an iron rule - Mr. Huangfu broke it."
Fu Lin was extremely excited. He was a talisman master. He deeply understood how difficult it was to have two talismans in one stroke. He couldn't help but spin around in a circle. "This is what Mr. Huangfu did. He succeeded. He added the indomitable talisman to the sky and the earth." Another talisman, this talisman saved the lives of us blood donors! As for why Grandmaster Zhao was injured... I need to find out the reason."
"It's too late. Find the most powerful talismans and we'll start writing."
"What? Write a talisman now? There is nothing here."
"I have some materials left by Mr. Huangfu."
"Okay...but I can't write a perfect talisman. It can only be written in five parts, let alone two talismans in one stroke."
"No matter how many pieces, as long as it can be used."
Fu Lin already believed in General Mu very much. Without further words, he opened the book again, preparing to find some of the most powerful talismans.
Shou Que flew back from outside the valley, without taking the body, and landed near the earth platform. His appearance returned to his youthful appearance, but his expression was as cold as frost.
"Are you still eating souls?" Mu Xingqiu asked.
Shou Que glanced at Mu Xingqiu and waited for a while before replying calmly: "No, I buried him and left the remaining soul that was most infatuated with him in the grave."
Shou Que walked up to Mu Xingqiu and looked at him with a high and majestic look, "Go away, I will deal with Zhao Chuye."
This is neither a cruel Defiance nor a naive Defiance, but a cold and arrogant Taoist priest.
