Chapter 1072 Slave of Memory
Yin Buchen gently placed the monkey he had just subdued on the ground, and stood aside respectfully, as if that was the founder of the Taoist sect himself. Then he gestured and whispered, "I think I need to sleep for a while. You guys chat first. Don't wake me up. Let me..."
Yin Buchen did what he said. He fell down softly, and fell asleep on the dough that looked like a lump of ice. Soon he began to snore. The monkey stood beside him, his eyes rotating in the opposite direction strangely, his mouth opening and closing, but no sound came out.
Mu Xingqiu tightly grasped the ancestral tower, tapped his forehead, chest, abdomen, and left and right arms two or three times, wrote down the protective talisman, and sent a signal to Qin Lingshuang outside the city. The writing and offering of the talisman were all normal, but the signal was not sent out. In just a few words, the surroundings were filled with indescribable powerful spells, and the talisman technique was completely swallowed up before it was transmitted far away.
Mu Xingqiu had forgotten the fight before entering the Demon Cave. For him now, this was the first time he experienced Kun Dun's strength.
He could sense the spells, and he could absorb them for himself, turning them into mana and casting them out again. However, there were too many spells around him at this moment, as vast as the ocean. Not to mention absorbing them, even protecting himself was difficult, just like the best gamer falling into the sea, with no way forward or backward, and all his skills were useless.
The ocean of spells did not swallow Mu Xingqiu, leaving him a small island.
Then the monkey spoke, his voice was dull and ruthless, and it was impossible to tell whether he was a man or a woman, old or young. "Some people say that I deliberately let you out of the Demon Cave, but it's not true. Your escape was an accident. I don't like accidents, but in the current world, accidents will continue to occur, and no one can stop them."
Mu Xingqiu didn't say anything. As far as he knew, Kun Dun's eyes were very accurate. As long as the human and demon clans that were found by the Taoist ancestors in various ways, they would become followers without exception. Some individuals might regret it afterwards, but at the time of accepting the solicitation, no one would hesitate.
Being favored by the most powerful person in the world is enough to make people die for it.
"In the new world of the future, there will be no accidents. Every person and every demon has determined his life from the moment he was conceived, or even before that. So there is no doubt, no dispute, everything is done step by step, everything is in order, and it will continue to cycle.
"And everything is under your rule, forever. "Mu Xingqiu stared at the monkey, imagining it as Kun Dun himself.
"Of course, but sentient beings can't feel my presence. Since everything is going according to my ideas, why should I intervene?"
Mu Xingqiu thought for a while, "It sounds like a very boring world."
"It is very boring. In the words of the Taoist tradition, this is a world of tranquility and inaction. The minds of sentient beings are chaotic and can't stand the perfect world, so I only select a small number of qualified people to accompany me into the new world. "
"Do you think I am qualified?" Mu Xingqiu was very surprised. Not only him, but the followers selected by Kun Dun before were all seeking novelty in their cultivation. They didn't seem to be the type who could accept "tranquility and inaction".
"No, you are not qualified." Kun Dun's voice had no ups and downs, but the meaning was clear.
Mu Xingqiu laughed, "You just came to tell me this? It's really disappointing. I thought I had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Thank you for letting me give up. When can I fight you? "
Kun Hun was silent for a while, as if he thought the question was too ridiculous and not worth answering. Finally, he said: "Zuo Liuying is my gatekeeper. Only by defeating him can you enter my door and challenge me."
Mu Xingqiu tried to offer the talisman again, but it was still like a stone sinking into the sea. He suddenly didn't want to brag anymore. It was meaningless. The gap between him and Kun Hun was too big now, and he was not worthy of being an opponent at all.
Neither worthy of being an opponent nor a qualified target to be won over, Mu Xingqiu was a little confused, "What on earth do you want to talk to me about?"
"Everything has cause and effect. I want to plant the cause in you and harvest the result in another person."
Mu Xingqiu was even more confused, but he knew that nothing good would happen. "What are you going to do to Mu Dong'er?"
This was the first person he thought of.
"Memory is so ridiculous. You only remember your son, so you think he is the most important, and that others also take him seriously. In the new world of the future, memories must be erased regularly, and no one will be dragged down and bound by memories. "
Mu Xingqiu held the ancestral tower and poked at the spell in front of him, trying to write a talisman, but it was like stabbing into the mud bricks that were about to be dried. It was difficult to move forward, let alone write a talisman in one go, and it was difficult to draw a straight line.
There are eighteen levels of talismans. When the mind moves during the writing process, it is a section. No section is perfect, and seventeen sections are the minimum requirement. If the mind moves too much, the whole talisman will be invalid. Before Mu Xingqiu finished writing the first stroke, his mind had exceeded the limit of seventeen sections, and the talisman became invalid, but he still insisted on writing.
"This is why you are unqualified. I like perseverance, but I don't like stupidity. Your actions are stupid. There is no place for you in the future world. Now, your stupidity is very useful to me."
The ground monkey raised his right arm and pointed his slender finger at Mu Xingqiu, "You are a slave to memory, I will give you some memory and let it be your master. It doesn't need a lot, just a little is enough."
Mu Xingqiu didn't want this kind of memory, so he operated the Ancestral Tower more vigorously. This was no longer a battle of magic - he was completely unable to cast spells - but a statement. No matter how big the gap in strength was, he would not give up.
The left eye of the earth monkey stopped moving, and a small ball of light shot out, passing through his fingers, continuing to move forward, and hitting Mu Xingqiu's forehead again.
Mu Xingqiu was still dizzy, but he didn't notice any new memories.
"Your demon body is already very powerful." Kun Hun obviously didn't succeed, so the left eye of the earth monkey glowed again.
This time the spell was like a polished iron ball. Mu Xingqiu had no way to absorb it, and could only concentrate his willpower to resist a little. "Didn't you expect me to block the first attack? Kun Hun, you disappoint me even more."
"Because of the existence of people like you, the world is not perfect. I will make mistakes now, but soon, I will never make mistakes." Kun Hun was not angry.
Mu Xingqiu wanted to say something, but the magic in the Niwan Palace exploded, and a large ball of fire suddenly appeared in his mind, and then disappeared, and he fell into a dark ball.
He did not lose consciousness, on the contrary, he could feel the subtle changes around him: Kun Dun's powerful magic was fading, the ground monkeys squeaked, hesitating between running away and staying, and then the half-asleep Yin Buchen muttered.
"The Dragon Demon asked me to find a chance to remind you... remind you... Taoist Qin... to survive the catastrophe..." Yin Buchen was probably talking in his sleep, and soon turned into snoring.
A new force suddenly came, with great momentum, defeating the remaining magic of Kun Dun and pulling Mu Xingqiu out of the darkness.
With a bang, Qin Lingshuang appeared in front of Mu Xingqiu. She came with the teleportation technique, but due to interference, the teleportation was not very successful. The sound was huge, and the operation of magic power became stagnant. Her face became redder, her expression was serious, but there was a trace of panic in her eyes.
Mu Xingqiu staggered back and immediately stabilized his body, "I'm fine."
Qin Lingshuang nodded and took back the sword washing pool, the inextinguishable furnace and the instant platform in her hands and the floating beside her. The panic in her eyes gradually disappeared.
"Kun Dun said that he wanted to put some memories into my brain, and I seemed to block it." Mu Xingqiu shook his head, not realizing that he remembered more of the past.
"Don't be careless, Kun Dun will not return empty-handed. I will do some checks on you outside the city." Qin Lingshuang finally spoke, and her tone was as calm as usual.
"Okay." Mu Xingqiu smiled, "Sorry, I'm a burden and made you worry."
Qin Lingshuang also smiled. No matter who this body belongs to, no matter how much experience her soul has had, she is still Qin Lingshuang. Some words will only remain in her heart, not be spoken out.
"If there is no burden in this world, no one worth worrying about, why bother to come back with so much trouble?" This is what she didn't say.
"Do you want to wake up Yin Buchen?" Mu Xingqiu asked.
"No, he will wake up by himself later." Qin Lingshuang looked at the monkey twice more, "Zuo Liuying is as hard to guess as Kun Dun."
The two of them left the city together.
Yin Buchen had a good sleep, and when he woke up, he felt that one side of his face was numb from the cold. He rubbed his palm hard, stared at the monkey that had not left, and said unhappily: "The ancestor has left, the Taoist priest and Qin Taoist priest have also left, why are you staying? I don't want an ugly and incompetent monkey as a training beast, go back to your cave. Alas, I thought the ancestor was looking for me..."
The monkey probably didn't understand what Yin Buchen was saying, and still didn't leave. He stood there stupidly, with his arms hanging down, looking up at Yin Buchen, like a stupid child who was scolded but didn't know why.
Not long after, Yin Buchen began to be surprised. More monkeys actually came out of the stove pit, just like the first one, standing stupidly in front of him, more and more, and finally there was no place to stand in the house.
"I clearly subdued one!" Yin Buchen inexplicably possessed forty or fifty refined beasts.
Outside the city, Mu Xingqiu sat alone in the practice room transformed by the Great Light Mirror, accepting the inspection of several treasures in turn. He had to try hard to enter the state of meditation so that the inspection could be more thorough, but it was difficult to do. Since he lost his memory, he rarely meditated, and the time he occasionally did was very short. This time was particularly difficult.
After a long time, he couldn't help asking himself: "Is it difficult to meditate?"
"Not difficult at all, you first clear your mind, and then focus on one thing." A familiar voice answered.
"What are you thinking about?"
"Don't be deliberate, think about the first thing you think of."
The image of Fangfang covering her mouth and smiling immediately appeared in Mu Xingqiu's mind.
He remembered.
