Chapter 251 Close Combat
On the night when demons invaded Yelin Town, a talisman master led a donkey out of the night and told nine teenagers that the town was in ruins, with not even a mouse left. He wanted to take the teenagers away, but he didn't. He competed with Ning Qiwei, the master of Pangshan.
Mu Xingqiu has always wanted to know the identity of this talisman master, but he only had a few contacts with Ning Qiwei, and each time there were problems to solve, so he had no chance to ask questions. Xin Youtao had long said that there was no such short and long-faced great talisman master in Xijie Kingdom. This person was probably from the imperial capital, but he never expected that it was Zuo Fu, the great talisman master himself.
"It seems to be destined by the gods." Zuo Fu, the great talisman master, sighed. He was not a Taoist priest and could not withstand the invasion of seven years. His face was much older than what Mu Xingqiu remembered, but his eyes were deeper and did not show any trace of Affected by the smile on his face, it was like a cold pool shrouded in the shadow of a cliff. "Looking back now, the demon clan invaded the small town back then. I'm afraid it was a precursor to the demon clan's crazy counterattack today."
No one else knew that Master Zuo Fu and General Mu had ever had a relationship. Although they were curious, they did not dare to ask. There was no strict ranking in the tent. Everyone seemed to be standing casually, but everyone close to the main seat , all bowed their heads involuntarily, showing great humility. Captain Huang, who had guided Mu Xingqiu here, did not dare to raise his head from the beginning to the end, and slowly retreated to the entrance of the tent.
Only Mu Xingqiu did not bow his head, "Everything has not yet been decided. It is still too early to talk about gods at this time."
"Haha." Master Zuo Fu refused the help of the waiters and stood up on his own. With a little effort, he walked around the table and walked to Mu Xingqiu. He looked at him carefully, "You are already a Taoist priest. You don't care about demons." What is the original purpose of planting? It has really helped you a lot. You are a Taoist priest from Pangshan." There was a hint of sadness and jealousy in his voice, "As long as you are willing, you can maintain your current youthful appearance for hundreds of years, and I, Seven years have made me very old. Alas, I can only attribute it all to God."
The lifespan of a low-level Talisman Master is not much different from that of ordinary people. If you are a high-level Talisman Master, or have royal or royal blood, you can live longer. But it is far inferior to Taoist priests, but ordinary people will not be jealous of Taoist priests, but the powerful Nine-layer Crown Talisman Master cannot get rid of the sadness of a short lifespan.
Mu Xingqiu did not come here to discuss immortality and gods. The generals around him consciously stepped aside, leaving room for the two of them to talk. He said, "It's a pity that the gods won't help us defeat the demon army. The giant demon king is very worried." He will soon reach Duanliu City, and unless we fight together, we are no match for him."
Zuo Fu, the great talisman master, nodded. He waved his hands casually, but no paper talisman was seen turning to dust, but the surrounding voices disappeared, "We have to join hands. We have to join hands. It is said that a high-level Taoist priest came to Duanliu City before dawn today. Is this true?"
"Shen Jixian, the leader of the Five Elements Section of Pangshan Taoism, will join Zuo Liuying, the leader of the Forbidden Secret Section, in a decisive battle with the Giant Demon King."
"good.
very good. "Zuo Fu Great Talisman Master nodded again, "With the two leaders of Pangshan Taoism taking action, this battle will be worry-free. I listened to the people from the West introducing the battle formation to me. Pangshan seems to be fighting separately from the ground army? "
"That's right, it's similar to yesterday's strategy. Try to lure the enemy south on the ground, and we'll lure the enemy north, and then find a way to destroy the Mountain of Demonic Fire."
Grand Master Zuo Fu gave a long hum, stopped nodding, and suddenly smiled, "General Mu, your name is Xingqiu?"
"Exactly."
"I remember that there were...nine of you back then, but all of them escaped the Pangshan catastrophe?"
"Well, everything is fine." Mu Xingqiu originally wanted to finish talking about the business before talking about the past, but since the other party brought it up again, he took advantage of the situation and asked: "I am very curious, how did the Imperial Palace Longbin Club know that Yelin Town was invaded by demon species? Yes, Mr. Zuo Fu arrived just in time.”
"Taoist priests rarely call me 'sir'." Zuo Fu, the Great Talisman Master, said with a smile, "My surname is Qu, and Qu Xungui, so Taoist priests usually call me Qu Fu Master."
"The Talisman Master."
"Catechumen. Haha, it's better to be like this. You know, there is a series of complex agreements between Longbinhui of Shengfu Dynasty and Jiudao Tong, which are related to almost everything that may happen. In this regard, I have to do what Tao Tong does. You must be impeccable. You have a good memory and a long life, and you will never forget even a trivial matter. Speaking of demon invasion, this is not the first time, so we always have a complete set of response plans for demons. Escape from Wangshan Mountain, and then break through the land of monsters in all directions. Within this range, Taoism is responsible for hunting down the monsters that occasionally slip through the net and enter the major vassal states and Shengfu Dynasty. Long Binhui will take over, so I will. It’s not that I happen to know, but I’ve been communicating with Pang Shan for a long time and has been waiting for the demon species in Yelin Town.”
"Thank you Master Qu Fu for clarifying the confusion." Mu Xingqiu said that he could not detect this person's emotions, but he had a feeling that Qu Xungui said a few nonsense words before turning to the demon species in order to hide some facts.
"I can understand the mood of the catechumen." Qu Xungui said sympathetically, but his eyes were still indifferent, "No one knows where the demon species will take human beings every time they invade. Logically speaking, this is impossible, and the demon species is impossible. It was impossible to hide in the world without being discovered, but it just happened. Thinking about it gives me a headache. I even wonder if the demon clan's counterattack is so large this time. The help of the demon species? But there is no obvious evidence."
Mu Xingqiu just listened, and occasionally said, "Master Qufu's words make sense." As an inspiratory Taoist priest, he was not qualified to participate in the Taoist order's hunt for demon species. He really couldn't say anything about it. Fangfang, however, Many relevant records found in the book prove that what Qu Xungui said is indeed correct. Those demon species that escaped were either completely killed by Taoist priests or talisman masters, or they suddenly disappeared for no reason, and were always accompanied by human beings. Disappearances.
Demons and mortals are like equal amounts of fire and water, canceling each other out, but a deviation occurred in a group of Yelin Town teenagers.
Mu Xingqiu's head was about to hurt. Several years of practice had made him understand a very important thing. He must not get entangled in any one thing. This was an early sign that he would encounter a Taoist calamity or even become a demon.
"Master Qu Fu seems not satisfied with the arrangements for the next battle." Mu Xingqiu changed the topic back.
"No, no, as long as it is the arrangement of the Taoist tradition, I have no objection." Qu Xungui hurriedly denied, with a relaxed smile on his old face, "Fu Lu Master, even a Fu Lu Master like me lacks the foresight of a Taoist priest. Our lifespan is too short, and we are already old before we understand anything. In short, I have no objection. Chief Shen has rich experience in fighting monsters. We have cooperated before, and Long Bin will admire him from top to bottom. Although I have no chance to see you, I have heard for a long time that with these two geniuses in the Nine Dao Tradition, we will definitely win this battle."
"I don't understand, in that case - what's the point of inviting me here?"
Qu Xungui laughed a few times, "I believe we will win this battle, but to what extent?"
"How do you say this?"
"Should we completely wipe out all the demon soldiers like before, or should we be like the previous battles in Duanliu City and win as long as we can repel the demon clan's attack? You know, these are two completely different ways of fighting. The tasks undertaken by the Huangfu Army, Zifu Army, and Xuanfu Army will also be very different."
Qu Xungui stared at Mu Xingqiu, his gaze more penetrating than that of a disciple of his mind, as if two knives had penetrated deeply into his head, and then unceremoniously observed all his thoughts.
Mu Xingqiu's eyes were clear, and he gradually smiled. He felt that the Nine-layered Crown Talisman Master was indeed using the Talisman in secret, which was similar to Taoism's mind control technique. However, Qu Xungui underestimated the strength of the inhaled Taoist priest. The illusion of mind is based on the human heart. On the battlefield, you have to protect yourself while affecting the emotions of others. The past few days of fighting have not only made great progress in Mu Xingqiu's illusion skills, but his own resistance has also become stronger unknowingly.
Mu Xingqiu not only noticed Qu Xungui's magic, but also firmly grasped it: first, he used the Feng Yin method to lure the enemy deep, then used the lion's roar to disrupt the enemy's position, and finally used the leopard's sudden method to hold the enemy in the palm of his hand. .
Mu Xingqiu instantly used the three breath movement methods of the Nine Transformations of the Beast, and successfully captured Qu Xungui's spell. He was no longer polite, and walked along the original path, directly into the Fu Lu Master's mind. He really wanted to see it. Let’s see if Dian Xungui really had anything to hide about Yelin Town.
No one in the room full of people noticed that a close combat was taking place right next to them. Master Zuofu Fulu and General Mu seemed to be having a very happy conversation. The former showed a rare calmness, and the latter kept smiling. Although everyone felt that there was something wrong. The status of the famous Pangshan breathing Taoist priest is a bit too low, but General Nian Zaimu has made great military exploits, and he is worthy of the title of Corporal Lixian, the great fulu master of Zuofu.
Under the influence of the talisman, others could not hear the sound of the two talking, but they could see them talking. After a while, someone finally noticed something was wrong. Their lips had not moved for a long time. They just looked at each other like a pair of stone men.
No one dared to approach, no one even dared to ask. Long Binhui's Zuofu Fulu Master had a high status, and a group of generals could only watch from a distance.
Liu Ding boldly walked up and saluted the two people who were standing at a distance of more than ten steps. .kansh.com When he found that there was no response, he carefully stepped forward step by step. He stretched out his right hand with a small leaflet on his palm. of paper symbols. Dozens of generals looked at each other nervously.
Five steps away, Liu Ding screamed and hurriedly retreated. He ran into the silence spell cast by Qu Xungui. The paper charm on his palm was instantly burned to pieces. He finally retreated in time and was not injured.
This time everyone knew something was going on, but they didn't know what to do. They couldn't break the talisman Qu Xungui offered.
In the midst of the chaos, Qu Xungui suddenly laughed twice, and the sound spread throughout the tent, "Very good, very good, that's it. I understand what General Mu means."
Mu Xingqiu said goodbye, still smiling when he walked out of the tent.
Dian Xungui also had a smile on his face. He watched General Mu leave and waved for the generals to retreat. When there was only one person left in the tent, his smile suddenly disappeared. He took out several small medicine bottles one after another and swallowed more than ten pills. Sitting back on the chair, he breathed a sigh of relief after a long time and murmured to himself: "Nianxinke, Nianxinke, what a domineering spell, how could Pangshan allow such a person to exist?"
