Chapter 259 The Talisman Master’s Invitation

"So, there are really many bad people among casual cultivators?" Yang Qingyin swallowed a large piece of sweet cake, drank it down with a cup of strong tea, and looked up at the princess.

The princess didn't wear a veil, and she had a smile on her face, like a big sister looking at her naughty sister. In fact, she was one year younger than Yang Qingyin, "Well, there are a lot of bad people."

There were only four people in the tent, the princess, Xin Youtao, Yang Qingyin and Mu Xingqiu. Everyone sat casually, regardless of host or guest. The princess sat cross-legged on the bed, wrapped in a soft blanket. Although the tent was warm as spring, she was still a little afraid of the cold. Yang Qingyin concentrated on destroying the delicious food on the table, occasionally raising her head to speak. Xin Youtao and Mu Xingqiu sat a little further away chatting in low voices.

Mu Xingqiu did not go with Qu Xungui and others to release dozens of casual cultivators. After leaving the Zhongjun tent, he asked Yang Qingyin to leave with him and came to Dongjie's camp, which was now owned by Princess Xijie.

"Rogue cultivators are a complex group." The princess explained. The more indulgent Yang Qingyin ate, the happier she seemed. "In fact, the royal families of various countries have more or less casual cultivators. They serve the royal family, so they gain Officials and nobles. But there are also casual cultivators who think that they can stand out by confronting the government. They do not abide by the king's laws and even kill officials, claiming that they are doing harm to the people..."

Yang Qingyin raised her free left hand and interrupted the princess, "Anyway, in your mind, those who work for the royal family are good people, and those who do the opposite are bad people."

"Yeah." The princess thought for a while, "That's pretty much what it means. The royal family is the head of a country, and of course it is also the standard for good people and bad people. Isn't this the same with orthodoxy?"

Yang Qingyin shook her head vigorously, "We are not that arrogant. As long as we don't offend the orthodoxy, we don't care whether others are good or bad. Of course, if they are monsters, they must be bad."

The princess laughed, "What a group of Taoist priests who are not arrogant."

Yang Qingyin had eaten enough. He took a long breath and said, "You are mocking me, but I don't care, because I know that according to your mortal rules, you are a princess and have a high status. It is said that mortals also have a rule that they cannot bully women. You are a woman , I can’t bully you.”

The princess smiled even wider.

Xin Youtao turned around and said, "Let's talk about something more important. Did this old fox Qu Xungui deceive us again?"

"He's hiding from me. Sooner or later, I'm going to give him something to look good at." Yang Qingyin patted the food table angrily. The princess smiled and said, "It's a trivial matter. Qu Xungui just wants the Xijie army to fight in the front line again. He doesn't really want to kill the casual cultivators at all. He just wants the catechumens to help him boost his morale. Soldiers of the Xijie Kingdom Morale is most easily aroused after a victory has just been won.”

"I think I made a mistake.

"Mu Xingqiu said that his previous actions were too hasty. He was eager to save people, and also wanted to try the newly upgraded telepathy magic. He didn't think too much. He waited until he was sitting in the princess's tent. He slowly came to his senses. , "I have aroused the generals' desire for war too much. This is what Qu Xungui needs. "

A day ago, Qu Xungui knew very little about the illusion of mind. He was defeated miserably by Mu Xingqiu's magic, but not long after that, he was able to lay down a powerful restriction. Protect your brain without any loopholes. Talisman masters do not have as long a lifespan as Taoist priests, so they must have other ways to retain memories that last more than 100,000 years. The actions just now show that Qu Xungui already understands the ins and outs of Nian Xin Ke, and can even use it skillfully to achieve his own goals.

Yang Qingyin frowned, "Are all mortals so thoughtful? After all, it's about killing demons, so everyone should move forward bravely. How can we fight this battle now when we're just thinking about who's in front and who's behind?"

The princess wrapped the blanket tighter and said with a smile: "That's what war is like. When there are few people, there is no one to rely on, and everyone strives to be first. But when there are more people, there will be problems. They all want to let others work hard and take advantage of the ready-made benefits. So just score before and after.

"Do you know much about war? Judging from your delicate appearance, you have only been on the battlefield once, right?"

"Well, I have only participated in the war with the monsters once. I have participated in the war with the nobles since I was five years old, and I have not finished it yet. The methods are different, but the principle is still the same."

Yang Qingyin knew that she couldn't defeat the princess, so she stood up and clapped her hands, "If you fight in the front line, fight in the front line. This time it's different. The two leaders personally took action, as well as the founder's tower and Lan Qizhang's broken pill... Anyway, it's definitely I can win." She accidentally let it slip and her face turned red. "Are you two leaving? I'm going back to the city."

Xin Youtao wanted to stay with his sister. Mu Xingqiu and Yang Qingyin returned to the city together. Yang Qingyin changed direction halfway and landed behind a hill. She said seriously: "If you continue to hang out with people like the princess, you will become even less like a Taoist priest. . Haven’t you discovered that your thoughts are becoming more and more complex and you are thinking more and more, which is not the right path to practice.”

"But this is the 'right path' of Nian Xin Ke. My level of illusion is still very low. I can only use it among mortals and improve it. When I become more powerful, I won't have to hang out with people like princesses anymore." Mu Xingqiu smiled and said that this was his sincerity. People's hearts are complex, but they are his battlefield. Taoist priests are simple, but his current level has no use.

In the Demon-Breaking Cave in Xingshan, the successor of Nianxin claimed that illusion is more powerful than the Five Elements spell, but Mu Xingqiu has not realized it so far.

"It's good that you know what you are doing. I said these words to you as my best friend. I don't understand the conspiracy of mortals, but I know one thing, there is a reason why Taoists stay away from some things. It's easy to get in but hard to get out. Things that you think you can easily abandon in the future may have become a part of you by then." Yang Qingyin flew up again, "No matter how unique the Mind Mind Department is, it is also one of the 18 Taoist disciplines. You can practice freely, but there is no need to follow the old path of those people, right?"

Mu Xingqiu wanted to say something, but Yang Qingyin had already flown away, seemingly with a little resentment.

Mu Xingqiu felt that her words made sense. His life with mortals became closer and closer, and the grievances were entangled. It was difficult to let go in just over a month. Will he have the ability to cut it off in the future?

He flew up on his sword, looking at the military camps on the east bank of the Jie River and the Duanliu City on the west bank, and was more and more shocked. Just a few days ago, didn't he make up his mind that as long as the people of Xijie Kingdom did not leave, he would defend the city to the death? That was not the idea of ​​a Taoist priest.

The disciples of the Mindfulness School use illusions to stir up people's hearts, and they are inevitably affected. This is the most fundamental difference between them and ordinary Taoists. When most Taoists try to be ruthless and eliminate desires in order to make their practice go further, Mu Xingqiu wants to swim in the ocean of human hearts and explore the depths.

Mu Xingqiu quickly flew to the inn in the city, thinking that there must be something wrong with his practice. After all, the Mindfulness School is one of the 18 Taoist schools, and it is impossible to be so different from other schools.

Only Zuo Liuying can give an explanation for this. He is the head of the Forbidden Secret School. He knows much more about the Mindfulness and Illusion than ordinary Taoists. He has been observing Mu Xingqiu silently and has a deep understanding of this Mindfulness School disciple.

A paper talisman suddenly flew in front of him. Mu Xingqiu grabbed it in his hand and saw a line of words written on it: Life is like an illusion, born and gone in an instant, so you should cherish the scenery in front of you. On this occasion of early winter snow, the bright moon is reflected in the distance. If Taoist Mu is interested, you can come to enjoy it at midnight tonight. The signature is Qu Fushi.

This flying talisman made Mu Xingqiu change his mind and decided not to ask Zuo Liuying for help for the time being. He wanted to hear how much the Longbin Society knew about the Mind Mind Department.

There were many things that happened that day. First, the casual cultivators came to thank them and expressed their willingness to fight side by side with the Taoists. Then Xin Youtao brought news that the Holy Talisman Dynasty and the armies of the princes had already arranged their formations for the decisive battle. The Xijie army was indeed in the front, the Huang Fu army was in the middle, and the other armies of the princes were on both wings. After nightfall, the Taoist fire baby pills taken by the Taoists took effect one by one, and everyone's inner elixir was improved, at least by two levels. Shen Hao and Xin Youtao advanced from the third level to the sixth level, all surpassing Mu Xingqiu.

The demon army was getting closer and closer to Duanliu City, and the flying talismans sent by the talisman masters could even see the huge demon fire mountain.

Mu Xingqiu did not show up. He stayed in the house to practice meditation. When he woke up, he practiced boxing and didn't ask anything. Everyone thought he was dissatisfied with his progress in practice, so they didn't disturb him.

That night, Mu Xingqiu flew to the Huangfu Army camp. This time, he did not encounter any talisman traps, nor did he find any powerful restrictions. In the central army tent, Qu Xungui was waiting for guests alone.

"It is a great thing that the mind illusion can still be reappeared in the world." Qu Xungui said this as soon as he saw Mu Xingqiu, without any intention of being polite.

"It seems that Master Qu Fu knows a lot about mind illusion."

Qu Xungui took out a paper talisman, .kash.c and tossed it casually. The talisman turned into a book. He turned to the middle page, "I didn't understand it at first, but I must understand it after suffering a loss. Listen to Longbinhui's record of the mind-reading department."

Qu Xungui coughed, "The descendants of mind-reading are arrogant and claim that the history of the Taoist tradition is a scam. The other seventeen departments, including the practice methods of the talisman department, are all wrong. Only the mind-reading department is the right way. 'The power of one thought can move all enemies'. They claim that their illusion is a hundred times more powerful than the five elements magic, and everyone must submit to them. For this reason, the nine Taoist sects had to lock up all the disciples of the mind-reading department in the demon-eliminating cave."

Qu Xungui raised "This is a very old record, but there is no time mark. The Longbin Society usually does not ask about or participate in the internal affairs of the Taoist sect, but in the matter of dealing with the Mind Mind Department, we were allowed to participate and left a lot of records. What I just read was just a small part of it."

"This record is no more attractive to me than the first snow and the bright moon."

"Haha, Taoist Mu doesn't seem to understand that the nine Taoist sects and the Longbin Society eliminated the Mind Mind Department because of fear and jealousy. In other words, the Mind Mind Illusion can defeat the Five Elements Magic." Qu Xungui paused, "The Longbin Society happened to leave some records in this regard. Are you interested?"
