Chapter 156: Ordinary Fate

It was dark, and three people gathered in the open space behind the Forbidden Secret Tower. In the shadows, more than a dozen statues of the predecessors stood silently around.

Yang Qingyin paced back and forth, like a general who was thinking about the next strategy, but she could not command the army, but the fireballs. She suddenly raised her hand and attacked the statue more than a dozen steps away. The fireball exploded and knocked off an arm of a great Taoist priest in Pangshan.

The Taoist priest was ruthless and renounced desires when he was alive. After his death, the statue would not be angry because of the rudeness of the younger generation. It silently grew a new arm, which was exactly the same as the previous one, even the cracks caused by wind and sun were no different. The clay statue that fell on the ground turned into dust and was blown away by a gust of wind.

Yang Qingyin frowned, but she could not change the helpless reality. She could toss and turn and destroy at will, but Pangshan, to be precise, the Shen and Yang families in Pangshan, like this statue, silently endured the damage on the surface, and in fact there was no change.

Xiao Qingtao sat on the stone pier timidly, very afraid of the mother's anger, but refused to leave, and stayed to act as a slightly redundant witness.

Mu Xingqiu sat opposite Xiao Qingtao. He was called here not long after returning to Laozu Peak after the drill.

"Did he really say that?" Yang Qingyin asked angrily, "He also mentioned the child or something?"

Mu Xingqiu nodded. He had conveyed Shen Jiyi's words intact and anticipated the mother's fierce reaction. "He seemed very satisfied with you."

"Then, what else did he say?" Yang Qingyin's eyebrows stood up even straighter.

"Then we went to find the black wolf. After flying around and finding no trace of it, we met up with the people from the Five Elements Department and came back together."

Yang Qingyin stopped talking angrily and lowered her head to think about ideas.

Xiao Qingtao leaned over and asked softly, "Is there really something wrong with that black wolf?"

Mu Xingqiu shook his head, "Maybe I'm just overthinking. The black wolf's demon pill was taken away, so it's impossible for it to have any demon power."

"But it's still strange that it bit its twin brother to death."

Mu Xingqiu also felt strange. It's been more than three years. Qi Wuxia's demon pill is lying in his box. It will become one of the most important materials for the magic weapon he is about to refine.

Even if the demon king doesn't recognize family affection. Why did he wait so long to take action?

Shen Jiyi thought it was just a coincidence. Pangshan is extremely vast, and it's normal for the two black wolves to meet now.

Xiao Qingtao talked to Mu Xingqiu in a low voice. She is a disciple of the Five Elements Department. After returning, she heard a lot of news, "Hehe, five gold souls, you have gambled away the Five Elements Department, and they are trying to get them together for you."

Yang Qingyin suddenly slapped the stone table hard, scaring the two people who were talking, "Then we have to do this."

"What?" Mu Xingqiu asked inexplicably.

Yang Qingyin looked at him. "Stand up and let me see you----Well, I really didn't notice that you have grown a lot taller and your appearance is not bad. And you are a weirdo, which suits my temper. I have decided, let's have a mortal relationship."

Mu Xingqiu shook his head firmly, and answered with only one word, "No."

Xiao Qingtao also shook her head, "No, no, there is Fangfang? Mu Xingqiu can't have a mortal relationship with you. Besides, Shen Jiyi is really good, his cultivation, character, appearance, everything..."

"It's none of your business." Yang Qingyin scolded, "I'm just borrowing him for use, not for real. I will explain it to Qin Lingshuang. In fact, the matter is obvious. If you two want to last long, you can only have a Taoist relationship. What's so great about giving me a mortal relationship?"

Yang Qingyin She thought it was a very simple matter, but Mu Xingqiu and Xiao Qingtao still objected, which made her a little annoyed, "It's settled, your objection is useless, I will announce it tomorrow and you will have no way to defend yourself."

Mu Xingqiu had to reason with her, "Well, even if I agree, your parents will not agree."

"Stupid, our relationship is a fake mortal relationship. When the time comes, I will tell my parents that I love you and must cut off the emotional ties and survive the emotional tribulation. The kid from the Shen family can wait another hundred or eighty years until I reach the Xingluo realm to form a relationship. Then, he will definitely not be able to wait, isn't this matter solved?"

Yang Qingyin felt that she had come up with a brilliant idea, raised her head and laughed a few times, and left on her own, leaving Xiao Qingtao and Mu Xingqiu looking at each other.

"I'm kidding, right? How can such a thing be fake? The Taoist priests of Laozu Peak saw through it at a glance... Fangfang can't agree to it either."

"Even if Fangfang agrees, I don't agree."

"What are you laughing at?"

"I was thinking that you and I are actually quite a good match. When we were in Zhiyong Institute before..."

Mu Xingqiu got up and left. Xiao Qingtao shouted behind him: "Sorry, I won't talk nonsense. The idea I came up with randomly will definitely not work..."

Mu Xingqiu also thought so. Even without using mind control, high-level Taoist priests have many ways to see the true thoughts of the two breathing Taoist priests. Yang Qingyin wanted to deceive her parents and Shen Jiyi with a fake mortal relationship, but there was no possibility of success.

It was still early, and Fangfang must still be practicing. Mu Xingqiu returned to his residence on the second floor of the Forbidden Secret Tower and planned to rest for a while before going to the fifth floor.

This place is the same as the entire Forbidden Secret Tower. There are no candles. The walls emit a natural and soft light, which can change the intensity according to the wishes of the residents. (Pingnan Literature Network) The room is not big and is very tidy. A table, a bed and a box take up nearly half of the space.

The bald man stood on the table, his expression was wooden, as if he was sleeping with his eyes open, or as if he had lost his life. Mu Xingqiu was used to this, and ignored him. He opened the box, took out a few items inside, and calculated what materials were missing for refining the magic weapon.

The bald man sighed, and when he didn't get a response, he sighed again.

Mu Xingqiu smiled secretly in his heart, turned around, and pretended to be puzzled, "What's wrong, someone bullied you?"

"I can't even see people, where can I get bullied?"

"That's good."

The bald man's appearance was too weird. When Mu Xingqiu brought him into the Forbidden Secret Tower of Laozu Peak, he promised Lin Sa and others that he would not let him fly around. Therefore, for more than three years, the bald man stayed on the second floor most of the time, and he didn't even go to the upper floors of the tower, let alone the courtyard.

Go down the mountain once a month to visit Daliang Shen Xiuming. It was the happiest and freest time for him. No wonder he felt bored, even if the room was full of mirrors, he couldn't be happy.

"Not good at all." Baldy was in a bad mood. He had always understood Mu Xingqiu's approach. But this time he couldn't help it.

"What's wrong?"

"You all have to go to refine magic tools. I don't know how long it will take for you to leave me alone..." Baldy looked around the room. "Living in a room that looks like a tomb, alas, it's worse than death, alas. It's worse than death."

"Who said you'll be left alone?"

Baldy immediately used his hair to prop himself up two feet high, his eyes wide open, "Are you saying I can go with you?"

"As long as I go, you will go with me." Mu Xingqiu said affirmatively. In fact, half of the reason why he wanted to travel around the nine major sects to refine magic tools with everyone this time was because of Baldy.

Baldy was refined into a sound transmission incense burner by Shen Zhun. As a magic tool, his vitality is gradually decreasing. When he first went up the mountain, Baldy was not so honest and always tried to run away. If he could scare a Taoist priest, he would be overjoyed all day long.

In the past year, he has been willing to stay in the room longer and longer, and has lost a lot of interest. He only shows full energy when he goes down the mountain and passes the Horse Valley.

Baldy knows that he can transmit sound, and regards it as a fun skill. He doesn't know that he has become a magic weapon, and he doesn't even notice that he is more and more willing to pretend to be dead, and pretends to be very real.

Mu Xingqiu hopes to save Baldy's life. Although it is a very small part of his life that can only survive by relying on the demon seed, Baldy himself is very happy, without resentment or sadness. Based on this, Mu Xingqiu can't watch him become a cold magic weapon.

Pangshan Taoist, which is known for its five elements, has no way to prolong Baldy's life. Mu Xingqiu hopes to find a good solution in other Taoists.

At least at this time, he doesn't look like a dying person at all.

After Mu Xingqiu packed his suitcase, he was going to the fifth floor of Langhuan Blessed Land. Baldy regained his interest, "Brother Xiaoqiu, take me with you and find me a book with many pictures. The last book "Record of Demons and Monsters from All Directions" was quite interesting."

Ordinary Taoist priests could not fly in the Old Ancestor Peak, let alone Baldy. Mu Xingqiu put him on his shoulders and took him out. Baldy could keep his balance and whispered to himself excitedly, "I'm going out, Baldy is going down the mountain. I am Mu Songxuan, a disciple of Pangshan, and I am the best at killing demons and eliminating evil..."

To Mu Xingqiu's surprise, there was someone in the fifth floor library.

Fangfang stood by a desk, with a smile on her face. Her protector Lan Qizhang stood across the table, with a serious expression and a hint of doubt. In front of the two, Yang Qingyin walked back and forth anxiously.

"Why did you come just now? I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"Waiting for me?" Mu Xingqiu didn't remember that he had made an appointment with her to meet here.

"Of course, we are all straightforward people. We don't need to drag things out. Let's make it clear here."

"I already said I disagree..." Mu Xingqiu looked at Fangfang, indicating that this was definitely not his idea.

Fangfang's mouth moved slightly, indicating that she understood everything.

Yang Qingyin raised her hand to interrupt Mu Xingqiu and turned to Lan Qizhang, "You like Qin Lingshuang, right?"

"Like has many meanings. Which one do you mean? And you have no right to interfere with other people's practice. This is the Forbidden Secret Department..."

"One day less of practice will not affect anything." Yang Qingyin waved her hand impatiently again, "I know you like to be serious, but you don't have to pretend to be confused. Liking means love, and it means wanting to have a mortal relationship. I ask again, do you like Qin Lingshuang?"

Lan Qizhang was speechless.

Mu Xingqiu originally thought that Yang Qingyin was too reckless, but he had long noticed that the Taoist monk who swallowed the smoke was unusually concerned about Fangfang, so he also looked at him, wanting to know what kind of answer he would say.
