Chapter 1012: Intention of Wavering

The Taoists had not yet reached a consensus on how to deal with the upcoming Taoist fire attack. When Mu Xingqiu and Shouque walked in, the twelve Taoists were either sitting or standing, and no one spoke for a while.

From the outside, it looked like a small tent, but after entering, it was a spacious stone-walled hall. Tripods and furnaces were placed in the four corners. There were seven or eight cushions scattered on the spotless ground. Only two people were sitting on them, and the other Taoists were standing in different places.

These Taoists were all above the Starfall Realm. Only Shi Hanyuan and Zhao Chuye were Taoists in the Moonlight Realm, and they were the only ones sitting on cushions.

Zhao Chuye did not look like a captive at all. He was not restrained at all, and his expression was as cold and calm as the others. He seemed to be one of the decision makers, and was annoyed that his opinion was not adopted. There was only one thing that showed that Zhao Chuye was different from other Taoists. His ancestral tower and Qiankun bag were placed next to Shi Hanyuan. Together with these two magic tools was a copper seal, which could temporarily suppress the mark on the magic tool, preventing the original owner from using it freely.

Mu Xingqiu and Shouque looked at the Taoists, and the Taoists also looked at the two. They were more interested in Shouque. Except for the two Taoists who served Yuemang, the others thought that General Mu was the horse demon Jinchu, so they didn't care much.

A Taoist with white hair and beard walked a few steps closer and looked Shouque up and down, "Are you really the descendant of the Mind Mind Department? Escaped from the Demon Cave?"

Shouque hesitated for a moment before replying, "Are you going to apologize to me?"

"Apologize? What to apologize for?"

"The Taoist sect exterminated the Mind Mind Department, and all the disciples of the 17 departments participated. You must be a disciple of a department. You must be intending to apologize to me on behalf of the previous Taoists, right?"

The white-haired Taoist snorted coldly, "I am Shen Jixian, the head of the Five Elements Department of Pangshan. I am interested in executing the judgment of the Taoist sect, not in apologies without reason."

Shen Jixian glanced at the "General Mu" next to him. Mu Xingqiu didn't recognize who he was at all, and his face was expressionless.

Shouque raised his hand and patted his chest twice, "That's good. I'm soft-hearted and not good at dealing with apologies. If you accept it, I'll be unwilling. If you don't accept it, I won't be able to say harsh words. It's good like now. We are wary of each other and hate each other. There is no temptation, and we can avoid many politeness."

Mu Xingqiu asked Shouque to go down the mountain to persuade the Taoists, but the first thing she did was to offend everyone. Shen Ji turned away first, and the other Taoists also looked away. Dealing with the Taoist fire attack is the top priority at the moment, and no one wants to cause trouble at this time.

Shouque stood at the door, smiling and folding his arms. It is not easy to perform mind illusion on a room full of senior Taoists. She is waiting for an opportunity.

Mu Xingqiu walked up to Shi Hanyuan, "How is it? Have you decided?"

"Tell us your plan yourself, there are some disputes among us."

Mu Xingqiu had guessed that there would be "controversies", so he asked Shouque for help. He scanned everyone's faces and could not see any position, so he said: "This plan was actually originally formulated by Master Zhao. He wrote the "Tiantianlidi" talisman on a tripod, hoping to use it to temporarily dispel the preparation spells laid by Kun Dun. In this way, the Dao Fire attack within hundreds of miles will not happen at all."

Zhao Chuye nodded, indicating that this was indeed his plan.

Mu Xingqiu continued: "The "Tiantianlidi" talisman was sacrificed in advance, and the tripod body was destroyed. My plan is to write another talisman, the impact range is not just 500 miles, but thousands of miles, tens of thousands of miles, or even farther, to eliminate all Kun Dun's spells and completely prevent the Dao Fire attack from happening."

The Taoists were silent. They had already learned the general situation from Shi Hanyuan, and now they just wanted to hear to what extent this horse demon would be whimsical.

"In order to enhance the power of Dingtianlidi Talisman, I need your help. First, there must be a Taoist priest with excellent physique to act as talisman paper. Secondly, I need the blood of high-level Taoist priests, the more the better. Finally, there must be a large number of Taoist priests to help push the talisman so that it can spread out as soon as possible."

Everyone was silent for a while. The first one to question was Zhao Chuye. Although he was a captive, he was also one of the Taoist priests who knew the art of talismans the best. "As far as I know, Dingtianlidi Talisman is not as powerful as you said, and your understanding of Taoist talismans is also problematic."

"I was just about to ask you. Mu Xingqiu said politely.

Zhao Chuye pondered for a while, "Mortal talismans appear outside, while Taoist talismans operate inside, using Niwan Palace as a pen, Jiang Palace as paper, lower Dantian as an inkstone, and the whole body's qi and blood as ink. It can be written and sacrificed at the same time. The power is thousands of times greater than that of mortal talismans, but it must be a Taoist priest above the level of Zhushen. ”

Zhao Chuye deliberately emphasized the word "focus on the spirit" because there were several Xingluo Taoist priests in the room.

"In that case, why didn't you write the Dingtian Lidi Talisman directly at the beginning, but relied on the help of the talisman master?" Mu Xingqiu asked.

Zhao Chuye thought for a while and said reluctantly: "Two reasons: First, the Dingtian Lidi Talisman is a new talisman created by mortals. It is not in the Taoist talisman. No one has written it for tens of thousands of years. I don't want to try it rashly; second, talismans are divided into two categories like spells, one is a single talisman, and the other is a talisman array. The Dingtian Lidi Talisman belongs to the latter, which is harmful to the writer, even the Taoist priests cannot avoid it. You have written talismans on yourself twice, and you feel very weak, right? That's not entirely because of excessive blood loss. The most important impact is the writing of the talisman itself. "

"Thank you for reminding me." Mu Xingqiu said. Of course, he couldn't expect Zhao Chuye to tell him this in advance. "The Taoist priests don't have the fire god seal, so does it have no effect on the effect of the talisman?"

Zhao Chuye turned to Shi Hanyuan and said, "Do I have to explain this to him? He is not even a Taoist priest. It has nothing to do with me being captured by you."

"He defeated you." Shi Hanyuan replied.

"Write the Fire God Seal in the magic weapon." Mu Xingqiu understood.

Zhao Chuye nodded.

It was Mu Xingqiu's turn to explain his talisman plan. Shou Que at the door interrupted: "The talisman is so easy to use, why did you separate from the Taoist tradition in the first place?"

To Mu Xingqiu, Zhao Chuye was still reluctant to explain. To the successor of Nianxinke, he didn't even look at him. He sat upright on the futon, as if preparing to enter the state of mind.

Shi Hanyuan said: "It is precisely because the benefits of talismans are obvious that they were separated from Taoism, so as not to affect the practice of inner elixir by high-level Taoists. At that time, the most basic talismans had been completed in Taoism, and continuing to develop new talismans required a lot of attempts. Mortals can do it, so there’s no need to waste Taoist priests’ time, am I right?”

Zhao Chuye nodded, "The Taoist method of writing talismans was hidden until..."

"It wasn't until one of the nine treasures was destroyed, indicating that Kun Chaos ambition was exposed, that the method of writing talismans was revealed to a powerful Taoist priest."

Shi Hanyuan's tone was very calm, but it still sounded a bit sarcastic to Zhao Chuye. He had learned the Taoist method of writing talismans and was supposed to use it to deal with Kun Chaos, but as a result, Kun Chaos surrendered as soon as he tried to win over him, "The founder of the year greatly underestimated Kun Chaos possible strength, the method of writing talismans left behind is completely useless, and the entire Taoist order together is no match for him. He just left a catastrophe of the five elements, leaving you to worry about one thing and the other. If you take action personally, huh."

"Why didn't Kun Chao take action himself? What did he say to you?" Pangshan Taoist Shen Jixian asked.

Zhao Chuye was unwilling to answer again, and finally spoke under Shi Hanyuan's pressure: "The Patriarch just told me the mission and gave me the Patriarch Tower. He didn't say anything else. I guess he has more important enemies to deal with. So let go of the orthodoxy for now.”

This is similar to Shi Hanyuan's guess.

Another Taoist priest said: "Hurry up. Lianye doesn't have long left. If you want to set up a magic circle, you have to start preparing now."

"There are only more than a hundred Taoist priests. The number is too small. The formation formed may not be able to block the Tao Fire attack."

"Then what can be done? When the Taoist Tower collapsed, the disciples were desperate to escape. The surviving Taoist priests were suspicious of each other. It was not easy to gather these people."

The ancestor Kun Chaos' magic changed from helpful to killing, Zuo Liuying's whereabouts were unknown, and Shi Hanyuan went on a killing spree in Yelin Town... Many things combined have had a great impact on the beliefs of the Taoist priests. It is actually too much to say that they are suspicious of each other. To put it mildly, they were simply wary of each other, and the farther away from each other, the better. None of the hundreds of people Shi Hanyuan found had participated in the battle of Yelin Town. Even so, they were full of doubts about the formation.

Setting up a formation means that someone is in charge of the formation, and it means handing over part of the initiative. This was a normal thing in the past, but now it carries risks.

Mu Xingqiu was ignored. He waited for the Taoist priests to argue for a while and fell silent again. Disperse, as long as you are willing to help, my blood is not enough. "

Shen Jixian vaguely felt that this horse demon not only looked similar to Mu Xingqiu, but also had a similar temperament. He said sincerely: "You have saved many people and done a great thing, but the Fu Lu you know is a mortal." We know very little about Taoist talismans. The magic used to deal with Kun Chaos is unlikely to be successful. It will only consume the Taoist priest's blood in vain. We must concentrate our efforts now and not waste anything."

"I used the talisman to defeat Zhao Chuye and the Five Elements Tribulation."

Zhao Chuye's nose twitched and he hesitated to speak, looking very unconvinced.

"These are two different things. Grandmaster Zhao only gathered the wood attack within a few hundred miles, which is a very small part of the Five Elements Tribulation. We want to resist the fire attack within thousands of miles and protect as many Taoist priests and mortals as possible , your ambition is even greater, you actually want to completely cancel the Dao Fire attack in the world." Shen Jixian shook his head, and it was obvious that what they couldn't do, Fu Lu couldn't do it.

"You have to give it a try. My method comes first. Even if it fails, it won't have much impact on your magic circle."

"We cannot consume our strength in advance. If the magic circle is less than a hundred miles away at midnight, tens of thousands of people may die." Shen Jixian was a little impatient. He and other Taoist priests looked at Shi Hanyuan, hoping that he could make a decision as soon as possible. Decide.

Mu Xingqiu also turned around and glanced at Shou Que. She had promised well on the mountain, but since entering the house, she had almost no illusions.

Shouche smiled.

Zhao Chuye, who had been forced to answer questions, took the initiative and said, "I don't need to participate in the magic circle. Let me help Mu Xingqiu. This will cause no loss to the magic circle in Midnight."

All the Taoist priests, including Mu Xingqiu, looked surprised, but Shi Hanyuan patted his knee lightly and said, "That's it."
