Chapter 206 Watchtower

As night fell, Mu Xingqiu stood on the broken watchtower, observing the situation in the distance through an eagle eye flying talisman high in the sky.

Duanliu City has been in disrepair for a long time, especially the city wall on the west side. There are some holes in the city wall that a teenage boy can climb in and out of. Most of the watchtowers have collapsed, and only one is still crumbling at the top of the city. The soldiers are far away from it. , residents living nearby look at it several times a day and calculate how long it will take before it falls down.

Mu Xingqiu went upstairs alone without the soldiers accompanying him. The Eagle Eye Flying Talisman was written by Liu Dingxian, the Talisman Master. It could fly in the air for an hour or two, but only with the perfect third eye could he see further.

Especially on such a gloomy night, the sky is covered with dark clouds, so thick that they seem to fall down in one piece. The autumn wind rustles, with a vague sense of malice, as if it is spying on the situation in the small town. Mu Xingqiu is not afraid of the cold, so he still wears a cloak. Wrap yourself tightly.

Even so, a small group of red fire in the very far distance is still quite conspicuous. The Eagle Eye Flying Talisman combined with the Immaculate Third Eye allows Mu Xingqiu to see the stopped demon fire mountain. The power to move forward is gone, but it is burning more vigorously. It is the Qilin in the eyes of the demon soldiers, and it is the one with strength. Symbol and guarantee of victory.

Fangfang walked to him and showed her habitual smile.

His gaze suddenly shifted from the weird demon fire in the distance to the beautiful smiling face so close at hand. Mu Xingqiu couldn't adapt for a moment, staring at her with the image of the demon fire still remaining in his mind.

"You haven't eaten all day." Fangfang said, holding the food wrapped in oil paper in her hand.

Mu Xingqiu expelled the demonic fire from his mind, took the food, and saw two plain cakes inside, "Zuo Liuying, are you willing to let you out?"

Fangfang shrugged slightly, "I didn't ask for his permission, and I didn't need to. Zuo Liuying couldn't be distracted. All trivial matters were left to Lan Qizhang to handle. He didn't want me to leave, but I didn't have to listen to him. "

Fangfang's tone was a little unhappy.

"Did Lan Qizhang talk about forming a mortal bond again?"

Fangfang nodded, "He still doesn't give up. He said that fate is relatively simple. As a Taoist priest, it is very easy to fall in love with someone. It's just a spell. You just need to cast it. He also said that you don't have to do anything after forming a relationship, because The purpose from the beginning was to cut off the fate and survive the love tribulation.

Mu Xingqiu didn't ask Fangfang how she answered. She already explained everything when she came to the watchtower, "Some of the Taoist priests' ideas are very strange. Lan Qizhang must also be a disciple of the Taoist sect."

"He is. Most of the Taoist priests who swallow the smoke are from the Taoist sect. When they reach the Xingluo realm, there are almost no ordinary disciples.

The difference may lie in these weird ideas. "

The Taoist family regards human nature as warts. These warts are like a heavy burden on the body. The farther you travel, the more burdensome you become. It is only natural to use the most convenient means to summon them and remove them conveniently. Lan Qi This is the case, and Yang Qingyin is no exception.

"What should we do?" Mu Xingqiu asked.

"We are ordinary disciples, so just do what we can do."

Fangfang also put on ordinary clothes, her hair was combed into the most common bun in Duanliu City, and the smile on her face was like a layer of light smoke, which refused to dissipate despite the cold wind, making her look very special in the early autumn night. It's thin on the outside, but has a toughness inside.

Mu Xingqiu didn't know what he was thinking. Maybe he didn't think about anything. He just did what he could do. He walked behind Fangfang, opened his arms, hugged her gently, and wrapped them both in his cloak. .

The thin body was a little stiff, but gradually became warm and soft.

"The Mountain of Demonic Fire is still burning." She said, and saw the distant scene through the magic eye flying talisman in the air. Her voice trembled slightly, which had nothing to do with fear.

"Well, it will keep burning until the whole world is filled with unclean air. I guess this is one of the demon clan's plans."

"The Nine Daoist Alliance will not let this happen. They will stop the Demon King Qi Wushang."

"They will, we just need to keep the Patriarch Tower."

"Because we are ordinary disciples."

"Well, we are ordinary disciples.

The two were silent for a while, with only the cold wind whistling in their ears and the demon fire burning in the distance. Someone's screams occasionally sounded in the city behind them. Perhaps they were awakened by the nightmare of demon soldiers slaughtering the city, or perhaps they were awakened by the nightmare of demon soldiers slaughtering the city. Scared by stray wild dogs.

"Zuo Liuying also brought Yangshen Peak." Fangfang said softly, leaning against Mu Xingqiu with almost no effort, "It's in his other sleeve, I saw it."

"I can still defeat Shen Geng." Mu Xingqiu guessed that Zuo Liuying would take Yangshen Peak away, not necessarily for the two to three hundred new disciples inside, but because he could not abandon the clone of the Patriarch Tower. Dan doesn’t ask for much.”

Fangfang didn't say anything. The two of them already understood each other's feelings, and it would be superfluous to say any more words.

The wind suddenly became violent, causing the cloaks to rustle. The dilapidated watchtower swayed slightly, and it could turn into a pile of rubble at any time. However, the two people above stood firm, and no one proposed to leave. Under the heavy pressure between the demon clan and the common people, Surrounded, this is the only pure land.

The two of them had a clear understanding of each other, taking turns controlling the eagle eye flying talisman in the air, observing the situation in the distance with their third eye, and carefully feeling the warmth of each other's body when they were resting.

Fangfang was the first to notice the abnormality, "The demon soldiers have arrived."

Mu Xingqiu looked with his third eye and saw a flying demon approaching the flying talisman. This flying demon was different. It not only had human arms but also a human head. However, he was reluctant to part with his sharp beak and still kept it. His hair was short and straight, and his eyes glowed like a night owl, which made him look very scary.

Mu Xingqiu was just about to observe the situation on the ground when the flying demon opened its mouth and let out a sharp cry. A powerful sound wave pierced the flying talisman, which lost its power and became a piece of waste paper floating in the wind.

"Notify Xin Youtao that they are all in the military camp." Mu Xingqiu untied his cloak and left it to Fangfang. He flew out of the watchtower on his sword. It was night time now, and the flying demon didn't seem to be a big demon, so it couldn't see through the Taoist's spell.

Fangfang went downstairs and ran quickly along the city wall to the east of the military camp.

Just behind the two of them, the watchtower shook a few times, finally completed its life mission, and collapsed with a loud bang. However, the night wind was howling, and no one heard its last sound.

Mu Xingqiu was flying at a low altitude, holding a piece of candle in his left hand. It was a magic weapon distributed by Lan Qizhang. Every Taoist priest here received a complete set of magic tools, all of which were high-grade magic tools collected by Laozufeng. Under normal circumstances, the breathing Taoist priests could not afford to buy them and could not use them, so they did not care whether they were wasted in critical moments. However, Lan Qizhang made it clear that once the Zushi Tower was safe, all the magic tools had to be returned.

The candle flames were not affected by the strong winds and only pointed to the nearest demon clan. Mu Xingqiu used his Tianmu to find the location of the flying demon while flying.

He saw that the flying demon was wandering a few miles away from Duanliu City, and did not notice that someone was watching him from below.

The wind was too strong, and the flying demon could not bear it. He looked into the city for a while, and suddenly turned to fly westward, with his two huge wings flapping constantly to fight against the oncoming strong wind.

Mu Xingqiu was more certain that this was just an ordinary beast demon. In the eyes of the demon army, Duanliu City must be very inconspicuous and not worth mobilizing large-scale military forces.

The plan of showing weakness to the enemy was successful. Mu Xingqiu breathed a sigh of relief. It was the sixth day at dawn. There should be news from Wandi Mountain. If they persisted for another four days, Zuo Liuying might repair the ancestral tower and continue to move with his disciples.

As for Duanliu City, Mu Xingqiu would suggest that everyone flee. He could only do this.

He continued to track the flying monster at low altitude, and even felt a little grateful for the strong wind and dark clouds. With their cover, he could cast spells without leaving any trace.

The flying monster began to lower its altitude, and Mu Xingqiu ascended. He had learned dozens of mind-reading spells from ancient books, including the invisibility spell. Although he could not escape the eyes of the big monster, he had no problem hiding it from ordinary monster soldiers.

There was a hill dozens of miles west of Duanliu City, and a group of monster soldiers were hiding in it. The monster soldiers were so close to Duanliu City. Mu Xingqiu admired this speed, but it was not surprising. The Xuanfu Army in the city all refused to patrol outside the city, so it was normal for the enemy to quietly kill them.

The leader of the demon soldiers was a tall half-demon. He talked with the flying demon scout for a while, then turned around and gave a speech to the soldiers. He spoke in the demon language, and Mu Xingqiu could not understand a word of it, but judging from the effect, this speech was quite successful. Every few words the leader said, the demon soldiers raised their weapons and roared, and the sound even drowned out the howling wind.

Mu Xingqiu had seen enough and turned around and flew back to Duanliu City.

The military camp was already in chaos. The news that the demon soldiers had really arrived was like a needle, easily piercing the confidence that the Xuanfu Army had finally inflated. The soldiers were inclined to throw away their weapons again. Captain Huang could not suppress it. Xin Youtao relied on his status and refused to speak to the soldiers. Shen Hao and others looked down on these panicked mortal soldiers. Only Yang Qingyin rode on the Qilin and scolded everyone for being timid. The soldiers were afraid of her, but their confidence was not restored much.

Fangfang went back to the inn. She and several female Taoist priests were going to stay near the Patriarch Tower just in case.

Mu Xingqiu landed on the city wall, ran down hurriedly, and said loudly: "The demon soldiers are parked forty miles away, 81 on the ground and one flying demon, everyone prepare to fight."

Mu Xingqiu did not give the soldiers a chance to ask, and immediately assigned tasks. Yang Qingyin and Xin Youtao stayed in the city to prevent sneak attacks and take care of the three unicorns. The other six male Taoist priests all went out of the city to fight. Mu Xingqiu rode on the hairy unicorn, and the others rode horses, wearing full sets of armor and holding spears, looking no different from the Xuanfu Army.

Talisman Master Liu Ding and the one hundred soldiers who were selected before all went to fight.

Captain Huang finally found an opportunity to ask, "General, won't you ride a Qilin?"

"This is only the first battle. The Qilin should be kept for stronger enemies."

The Qilin is used to boost morale. Mu Xingqiu didn't want to attract the attention of the demon army too early. "Hold your swords and spears tightly." Mu Xingqiu rode on the back of the docile hairy Qilin, holding the spear high in his right hand and carrying a large sword that had not yet been named behind him. "If we die, you can turn around and run for your lives; if we are not dead and are still charging, please follow us closely. We will prove to you that the bodies of demon soldiers can also be pierced by spears!"

Mu Xingqiu took the lead, followed by Shen Hao and others. The group rushed into the street and headed straight for the west city gate.
