Chapter 258: 1 Heart 2 Uses

Everyone was a little disappointed when they heard that Mu Xingqiu had only reached the fifth level of inhalation. Even Shen Hao, who wanted to surpass him, sighed: "To be honest, I think you can reach the seventh level, and at worst you should reach the sixth level." ah?"

Mu Xingqiu did not say that he had once reached the seventh level, but then came back, nor did he say that his mind-reading illusion technique had reached the second level of the illusion. It was not that he deliberately concealed it, but that he was not sure yet. Unlike the popular Five Elements spells, Mu Xingqiu knew too little about illusions and was not sure that the feeling of rising steam meant that the illusion was improving.

"Where's Yang Qingyin?"

"I went to rescue the rogue cultivators. I walked for a long time, but I don't know why I haven't come back yet." Xiao Qingtao glanced at the sky, "It is said that Huang Fujun captured a group of rogue cultivators and they will interrogate and kill them at noon..."

Mu Xingqiu raised his sword and flew quickly towards the east bank of Jiehe River.

Yang Qingyin encountered trouble in the Huang Fujun camp.

There were more than thirty casual cultivators in total, most of whom had participated in the battle two days ago. Led by Ouyang Shu, they returned to Duanliu City again and were discovered by Fu Lu Master on the east bank of the Jie River. After a short battle, they found that they were no match for them and did not want to cause trouble. The casual cultivators surrendered and were escorted to the Huangfu Army camp.

A general and two talisman masters conducted a simple interrogation and immediately determined that these people were all spies sent by the demon clan, and sentenced them to be beheaded at noon.

Yang Qingyin arrived not too late. More than a dozen Talisman Masters warmly received her, and each of them reported their names. They were all senior Talisman Masters with six crowns or above. They actually knew that Yang Qingyin was born in a large Taoist family, and they gave her a series of names. , including even Yang Qingyin’s parents.

It took more than half an hour just to explain the relationship between these names and herself. Yang Qingyin tried to get angry several times, but was blocked by the smiling face of Fu Lu Master. Finally, she couldn't stand it anymore and rushed out of the tent to yell at Ouyang Hao and others. A very old talisman master came forward, claiming to be one of the thirteen great talisman masters of Huangjing Longbinhui. He very seriously listed several crimes against the casual cultivators. Every time he said something, he asked, "Shouldn't he be killed?"

Unlike the Nine Dao Tradition and the Long Bin Society, the casual cultivators are not a group. They have many people and practice their own practices. Their methods are all kinds of strange, and some of them are quite sinister. They are usually blamed for ugly things such as corpse theft, baby snatching, soul summoning, etc. Among the casual cultivators, there are also some casual cultivators who rely on their magic to collude with the powerful and run rampant. Even oppressing the government.

Armies from various places often clashed with casual cultivators, and Ouyang Hao and others fell into a trap this time.

The old talisman master became more and more indignant as he spoke, citing one example after another. Yang Qingyin could argue a few words at first, but soon he couldn't get in a word, and time passed by.

Mu Xingqiu's sword flew through the air,

They went straight into the military camp without being blocked. Liu Ding, the talisman master, held his horse and kept looking at the gate of the military camp. Hearing the voice above his head, he glanced over and breathed a long sigh of relief, "We are really saved this time."

Yang Qingyin in the military camp also noticed a Taoist priest coming. Putting aside the chattering old talisman master, he ran out of the tent and waved to Mu Xingqiu, "I'm here!"

Mu Xingqiu ignored her and went straight to the largest Chinese military tent.

For things like rescuing people, you can only ask Master Zuofu Fulu, Qu Xungui.

Mu Xingqiu fell into the cage as soon as he landed. He triggered a hidden talisman, and dozens of glowing iron bars suddenly appeared around him, surrounding him. More than a dozen guards ran over and thrust their spears into the cage, only two or three feet away from the intruder.

"Master Qufu, Pangshan's catechumen is here!" Mu Xingqiu shouted loudly. His voice spread throughout the entire military camp and even penetrated the silence spell caused by the talisman. People in the Chinese military tent could no longer pretend not to listen. arrive.

A general in gorgeous armor came out, waved his hand, and signaled the guards to retreat, and the iron cage disappeared automatically.

Mu Xingqiu walked into the Zhongjun tent and saw that it was crowded with people, most of whom he had never seen before. He immediately understood that these were generals from various vassal states who had just arrived on the east bank of the Jiehe River to attend the meeting of Huang Fujun. . There are sixty or seventy generals, each with their own style of clothing and armor. Most of them are decorated with their country's symbols on their helmets and breastplates. There are about seven or eight kinds.

Everyone's eyes fell on the Taoist priest who had just entered the tent, with awe, scrutiny, suspicion, curiosity, and all kinds of emotions. Mu Xingqiu was just about to try the power of the second level of the illusion, but he immediately realized that there were powerful restrictions all around. , then withdrew the spell, smiled and nodded to everyone.

Some people returned the favor, while others pretended not to notice and held their heads high. In fact, these generals had seen the battle two days ago through the Eagle Eye Flying Talisman, and were extremely impressed by Mu Xingqiu. If they had met at that time, they might have been so scared that they would have knelt down. Just two days apart, they had already Being able to control his emotions, he didn't even think that this Taoist priest who killed monsters like a madman was anything special.

Qu Xungui, who was almost having his memory spied on, became very cautious. Not only did he put in place a lot of restrictions, but he also didn't want Mu Xingqiu to get close to him anymore. He sat on the high seat, nodded to the guests at the other end of the aisle, and said a long A tired smile appeared on his face, "The Taoist priest came at the right time. The Holy Fu Dynasty and the major princely states are discussing a decisive battle plan to deal with the demon clan. It would be great to have Taoist Pangshan participate."

Mu Xingqiu walked forward. Without any illusion, he could see the growing hostility of the generals on both sides, and the restrictions in front of him were getting stronger and stronger. It was like he was diving into deep water, with each step he took. , the buoyancy was increasing, and the face of Qu Xungui on the opposite side slowly became stiff.

Mu Xingqiu stopped, only about ten steps away from Qu Xungui, and formally performed the Taoist ceremony, "I came to see Master Qu Fu because I have something to ask for."

Taoist Pangshan did not go any further. Qu Xungui seemed to be relieved, and his smile became more natural, "The Taoist priest has come to see you. Taoist Pangshan and Huang Fujun are fighting together. If you have anything to say, don't talk about 'begging.' Character?"

Mu Xingqiu also smiled and raised his voice slightly, "You must have heard that more than a month ago, Laozu Peak was destroyed by demons, and nearly four hundred fellow Taoists in Pangshan were martyred. If anyone thinks that Pangshan I can totally understand that it is no longer one of the nine great traditions.”

Qu Xungui was startled for a moment, then immediately leaned forward and said, "The Taoist monk's words are serious. Pang Shan accidentally fell into the demon clan's trick. Although the ancestor peak has fallen, the ancestor tower is still there, who dares to underestimate it?"

The smile on Qu Xungui's face became unpredictable. After a moment of silence, he asked: "Is this the idea of ​​the catechumen alone, or is it the strategy of Pangshan Taoism? Because what the catechumen said was the same as the past of the Jiudao Taoism. There are some differences in the approach, strictly speaking, several agreements have been violated.”

Mu Xingqiu knew very little about those ancient agreements. He only knew the most important contents: whether Long Bin would take the initiative to recruit people with Taoist roots as talisman masters, and that the Nine Daoist Orders would never interfere in the affairs of mortals.

Loose cultivators are mortals, and their affairs are indeed within the scope of the orthodoxy that should not interfere.

"At this moment, everything I say and do represents Pangshan Taoism." Mu Xingqiu slowed down his speech and used the mental illusion technique again, this time with all his strength. As expected, he found that he could concentrate on two things Using it, while confronting Qu Xungui, he could also stir up the emotions of the generals. "Dao Tong and Long Binhui have signed many agreements. At that time, who would have thought that the demon clan would break through the blockade of Dao Tong and enter human territory? Pang Pang There are not many Taoist priests on the mountain, but they have always stood firm in the isolated city and never said retreat. Did they also violate 'several agreements'?"

Qu Xungui's defense was still strong, and the Nine-Level Crown Talisman Master still had a certain level of strength. The fifth-level inhalation plus the second level of the illusion were not enough to break through the forbidden technique he had quietly arranged.

But while he was concentrating on fighting Taoist Pangshan, his control over the entire tent became weaker. After all, the power of the talisman depended on the control of the talisman master, and Qu Xungui did not have the ability to do two things at once.

Just as he was about to speak, Mu Xingqiu was in front again, "The invasion of the demon clan was an unprecedented torrent. Wherever it passed, it was like a torrent. The country of Tu was dead, and only one city of broken water was left in the country of Xijie. , the Dongjie Kingdom is in danger, the major vassal states are following closely behind, and the Shengfu Dynasty is in danger in the southwest. I don’t know how the agreement stipulates this situation. Seventy thousand demon clan troops, maybe more, are coming day and night to stop it. Liucheng has a decisive battle with our army. At this time, someone stands up and says that he volunteers to go to the battlefield to fight the demon soldiers. Regardless of who he is or what he has done in the past, Pangshan Taoism is willing to say "welcome" to this person. Everyone How do you plan to answer? How will Long Binhui respond?”

The minds of the generals were stirred up, and their hostility was pretentious. They were all good at observing people's emotions. Although Master Zuo Fu never gave a hint, they still knew that Qu Xungui was wary of Taoist Pangshan, so they knew that Qu Xungui was wary of Taoist Pangshan Show that you share the same hatred.

But Mu Xingqiu's words moved them. anｓsh.c In particular, these words were accompanied by mental illusions, which had a wonderful effect. A general from Xijie Kingdom even dared to nod his head in public.

The hostility on the surface disappeared, and Mu Xingqiu mobilized the awe hidden in the hearts of the generals. This was an emotion they had already had after watching the battle. If they met under normal circumstances, they would show it to some extent, and they would be frightened by Zuo Fu's big talisman. The majesty of the teacher was carefully hidden, but at this moment it was involuntarily revealed.

More and more generals nodded, and even General Huang Fujun turned his head in embarrassment.

Mu Xingqiu once again paid his respects to Qu Xungui and said, "Of course, even if times change, Master Qu Fu will still have the final say in all matters in the army."

Qu Xungui laughed, helped the case and stood up, "The Taoist priest is right. People who have been punished by death can still perform meritorious service, let alone the current critical situation? Conventional methods are no longer available. Come on, come on, everyone, come with me to meet and catch up. Come to support the martyrs of Pangshan Taoism.”

Mu Xingqiu won, but he still failed to break through the Great Talisman Master's restrictions.
