Chapter 181 Successor of the Heart of Mind
The appearance of the treasure bag was clean, but the magic scroll inside was stained with a drop of blood.
Mu Xingqiu leaned over to take a look at the four companions who had entered the state of meditation. Confused, he opened the scroll halfway and checked the words left by Du Fangfeng on it. The methods of the demon clan are indeed becoming more and more unfathomable, and even the Taoist sect cannot see through them. Du Fangfeng's self-detonation in the Qishan market is an example. It would not be too difficult to leave a drop of blood through the treasure bag.
What puzzled Mu Xingqiu was why Du Fangfeng did this?
He put away the scroll and decided to keep it a secret. After refining the magic weapon and returning to Pangshan, he would tell Lin Sa the truth. This was the only person he trusted in the Taoist sect.
After making the decision, he put the treasure bag containing the scroll aside and finally could meditate without interference.
The Demon Cave is the prison of the Taoist sect. The purpose of meditating here is to visit the tragic scene inside, so as to more firmly abide by the Taoist precepts.
Killing fellow Taoists, colluding with demons, and harming the mortal world are the three major crimes of being imprisoned in the Demon-Exorcising Cave. Before entering the state of contemplation, Mu Xingqiu couldn't help but think of Shen Geng, the Taoist disciple who killed Er Liang. He has completed five years of reflection and is practicing in Yangshen Peak, but he was not sent here.
Of course, Er Liang did not condense the pill, strictly speaking, he was not a "fellow Taoist". He was just one person, and he could not reach the level of harming the mortal world. Moreover, it was a competition organized by the Dujiao, and Meng Yuanhou was sentenced to bear the greatest responsibility. In the eyes of Pangshan Laozufeng, the tragedy did not fall into the scope of "killing fellow Taoists", but Mu Xingqiu would never forget the scene at that time. What he saw in Shen Geng's eyes was all cruelty and ruthlessness.
He exhaled lightly and cleared his distracting thoughts.
He will see the same illusion as the Demon-Exorcising Cave. It is said that this is a relatively small-scale void place controlled by the Taoist tradition. This "visit" will not only understand the fate of the Taoist rebels, but also feel the experience of the demons.
There was a gray haze in front of him, as if it was drizzling, and the surroundings were absolutely silent. There was not even the sound of a heartbeat. There was a dim light not far ahead, and Mu Xingqiu walked over. He knew it was an illusion, and he knew he would not be in danger, so he was not timid, but just curious to see the whole picture of the prison.
He had read the introduction in the book that the Demon Cave was divided into three major areas: the silent land made people feel self-pity, the unsheltered land made people exposed to the sun, and the selfless land made people fly away.
As a visitor, Mu Xingqiu did not have any special feelings in the silent land, but he did not like this kind of grayness that even the sky eye could not penetrate, so he quickened his pace and ran towards the bright place.
It took a long time to run the seemingly short distance. Since he was in an illusion,
maybe even "a long time" was a false feeling. The Nianxin Department was best at illusions, but the information was scarce. Mu Xingqiu practiced for several years and was only at the elementary level. He immediately admired the magic of the Demon Cave.
The sun was shining directly down. Knowing that it was all an illusion, Mu Xingqiu couldn't help but raise his hands to cover his eyes, but he immediately found that it was useless. The light came from all directions. Even if he closed his eyes and covered his eyes with his hands, he still felt dazzling and glaring. This place was more unbearable than the silent place. He couldn't wait to run forward, hoping to reach the place of no self as soon as possible.
He seemed to have slipped and suddenly fell into a deep pool. His eyes became darker and darker, and his body turned over involuntarily. He kept turning over and over. No matter how hard he tried to concentrate his will, he couldn't regain his balance. It took him a while to understand. He couldn't control his body because he didn't have a body at all.
This was a visit, Mu Xingqiu comforted himself like this, letting his thoughts turn back and forth, and finally he felt down to earth. Starting from the tiptoes, he regained the feeling of the whole body.
He stood on the smooth white jade floor, the light was soft, the birds were chirping, and looking down, his body limbs were all intact.
The visit to the Demon Cave is about to end. Visitors can just feel a little bit of the misery here and feel scared. It doesn't need to be too realistic. There is a door not far ahead. After pushing it open, you can return to the niche.
Mu Xingqiu took a breath of fresh air. Fortunately, Xingshan was not too strict with the disciples who wanted to visit the Demon Cave, but it was enough to impress the Taoists. The first thing he thought of after coming out was that he would never be locked up in such a place. The second thought was whether anyone had been locked up in these years?
Mu Xingqiu walked towards the door. He was very happy to be back in the real cave.
"Stay." A voice said.
Mu Xingqiu stopped and looked back to make sure that the voice came from the black curtain he had just walked out of. In his prior understanding, there was no such content in the visit to the Demon Cave.
"Aren't you curious?" The voice asked, it was a woman.
"What are you curious about?"
"You have been learning the mind illusion technique for so long, but you have never mastered it."
Mu Xingqiu was shocked, "Who are you?"
"I am here to help you." A hand stretched out from the black curtain, only up to the elbow. It was black at first, but soon became as white as snow, no less white than the white jade floor. The palm was facing up, and the five fingers were slightly bent. There was nothing in the hand, but it still seemed overwhelmed, soft as if it had no bones, and it seemed that it would fall down at any time. "'The power of one thought can move the hearts of all enemies', the essence of the mind magic, you have not yet comprehended it."
"Are you the descendant of the mind illusion department?" Mu Xingqiu was even more surprised, and then his reaction was to concentrate his will to fight against the voice in the black curtain. Based on his understanding of the Taoist tradition, this would never be a good thing. Maybe it was a trick played by the Taoist priests of Xingshan. They were probably also interested in the real illusion like Yashan.
There are twenty-nine successors of Nian Xin Ke on the Patriarch Tower, and their names are all hidden. There are no relevant records in the collection of books in the Forbidden Secret Tower. Mu Xingqiu could not even ask the other party which successor he was. He thought of another question: "You guys? You are so powerful at Nian Xin Ke, why are you still imprisoned?"
"Haha, because in the Nine Dao Tradition, in addition to magic, there are also conspiracies. Come here, let me see how far you have learned the Nine Transformations of the Beast?"
Mu Xingqiu did not move, "You should have died a long time ago." Although he did not know the names of the twenty-nine female descendants, he knew that Nian Xin Ke had been discontinued for a long time, and even the Taoist priests who followed Sun Mang could not survive this long.
Sad laughter came from the black screen, which was consistent with the faces in Mu Xing's memory, "Death? Pulling out the Demon Cave is death. How can we be allowed to die again? Being locked up here is a punishment. It will never end. ”
Mu Xingqiu was even more unwilling to go. He had no good impression of the Nianxin Department, so he had no choice but to join this department. The hatred hidden in the female voice made him feel even less close to him, "You want to use me to escape from the demon." Or do you want to take revenge through me? "
"Hey, you are a little Taoist priest in the inhalation realm. What skills can I use? I just don't want to see the art of mind-reading being cut off. The demons are about to counterattack. The eighteen subjects of Taoism should not be missing the mind-reading technique."
Back then, Grandmaster Ning Qiwei solemnly said that the demons would return to the world within a thousand years. Mu Xingqiu also felt that he was receiving special treatment. He did not expect to hear this sentence everywhere during his trip. Not only did the half-demon Hong Futian always talk about it, but even the descendant of Nianxin who had been imprisoned for many years also used it to make trouble.
"You chose the wrong person." Mu Xingqiu took a step back instead, "You shouldn't have chosen me in the first place. I'm not interested in telepathy and illusion at all. It's okay for me not to practice after the Nine Transformations of the Beast."
The female voice smiled softly and stretched out her arms a little longer, "Aren't you interested in controlling the world? Aren't you interested in a unique tradition? You have the strength. Because you have withstood the power of the spell, the people in front of you That person is crazy, but you are not, which means you are naturally suitable for genjutsu..."
"Go crazy...are you talking about Mei Chuanan? Did you deliberately let him learn the five-word spell?"
"It's not just him. There are many people. But some people have too strong magic power and are unmoved. Some people have too weak will. They dare not practice chanting. Some people are too deep and fall into the devil's path. And you are unique, you, This is the person we are looking for. There is nothing wrong with him. Come, let me show you the true meaning of illusion. It won’t take long for you to surpass the Nine Dao Traditions. They have declined and will continue to decline..."
The female voice became more and more excited as she spoke, and her five fingers swayed in the wind like willows, like a call and a beg.
Mu Xingqiu took an evil step closer, and the five fingers moved softer and softer, "Come on, only you and Nian Xinke are the hope for the future of Taoism. One day, you will defeat the demons and become the savior of the world. …”
After taking another step, Mu Xingqiu suddenly shook his head and stepped back, "If you want to teach illusions, just tell me. There's no need for me to walk over."
"Prudent Taoist priest, you have a willpower that ordinary people can't match. This is a good thing. Nian Xin Ke did not misjudge the person." The arm slowly retracted, and finally only the palm part was left. "Okay, let me tell you. , that’s…”
The arms unexpectedly stretched out and stretched like a snake towards the target more than ten steps away.
Mu Xingqiu was alert and reacted quickly enough. He turned over and jumped back, but the palm still rushed to a place less than half a foot in front of him. The originally soft and boneless palm now looked as sharp as a sword.
A finger touched the palm that continued to attack.
This finger stretched out from Mu Xingqiu's body, but it did not belong to him. Mu Xingqiu was so surprised that he almost screamed. After calming down, he quickly understood that this was the credit of the head of the Forbidden Secret Department.
Zuo Liuying appeared, just like in Yashan, only he took shape faster, a one-foot-tall little man, sitting cross-legged in the air, making different magic formulas with his hands, blocking the slender arm.
"It's a small trick." The female voice yelled, and she pushed forward with her palm. The little Zuo Liuying was full of cracks, obviously unable to resist the opponent's attack.
But Mu Xingqiu still got some time, anh.m turned around and ran towards the door. Regardless of whether the current illusion was part of the magic cave, he had to get rid of it.
The door didn't open, so he banged it hard without any reaction. He tried to pull the knocker, but it still didn't work.
With a popping sound behind him, Mu Xingqiu turned around and found that Zuo Liuying who was blocking him had disappeared.
The palm slowly approached, and the arm behind it stretched longer and longer, "Perfect." The female voice was filled with joy, "You are a perfect successor."
Less than three feet away from Mu Xingqiu, his palm suddenly stopped, and his voice became alert, even a little frightened, "What are you carrying? How come you have..."
Mu Xingqiu said nothing. He saw a small black dot rising from his right hand side, and finally became as big as a fingernail. It was completely black and looked like a little demon, but the image was not very clear.
This is not a little demon, but a magic character in the scroll.
