Chapter 278 Breaking the Shell and Retrieving the Core
Mu Xingqiu didn't have a clear plan for the next step, but the young devil had already begun to show off his talents. It was his most true idea and could always stay ahead of the sojourners.
Sun Yulu could not forget the Pangshan Taoist priest who destroyed half of her face. She could remove the emotions in her heart through practice, just like a sculptor, working boldly on the material. The knife was ruthless and the ax was ruthless, but the remaining The less part she had to cut, the more delicate the emotion became. Slowly, she could only use a knife to modify it little by little. Finally, when she could no longer cut the knife, the love disaster took shape.
Sun Yulu's resentment towards Meng Yuanhou is at the stage of being carefully carved with a knife. It has not yet reached the time when she must survive the disaster. She is looking for the best time, but not now. As a Taoist priest, she can judge herself calmly. With my emotional progress, I feel that I can persist for at least ten years. After ten years, I will either find someone else to replace Meng Yuanhou, or I will automatically break off the relationship if there is no chance. In short, it is not now.
Now, she is monitoring a non-Luanjingshan disciple to protect the secrets of Dengzhuke's magic. Although Mu Xingqiu has no ability to see through the truth, his memory may fall into the hands of a high-level Taoist priest, even if only a small part of it is deciphered. In part, it is also a huge loss for Dengzhuke.
But she was still tricked.
Mu Xingqiu almost let the opportunity slip from his hands. His illusion power was still too weak, and he always felt powerless when facing Taoist Priest Xia Xia. At the most critical moment, the young demon appeared.
It raised its tiny right arm and made a swinging motion.
This action had no effect, but Mu Xingqiu followed suit subconsciously. Instead of raising his hand to swing the whip, he let the electric whip come out of his cuffs automatically and stabbed Sun Yulu like lightning.
The whip was very light and quick. It just clicked on Sun Yulu's left thumb and immediately retracted into the master's sleeve.
Sun Yulu didn't seem to notice the attack, and her wrist flicked slightly. Mistaking the touch of the tip of the whip for an accidental mosquito bite.
Mu Xingqiu knew that he had finally captured the emotions of a Taoist priest.
At this moment, he understood the way in which the illusion of mind and heart works on Taoist priests - breaking out the shell and extracting the benevolence. The inner elixir of a Taoist priest can produce protective power, like a hard shell, which is difficult to break through with spells. It can only rely on pure brute force, and then illusions can sneak in.
This brute force can be a boxing technique or a weapon. The boxing techniques practiced daily by Nianxin Ke and the commonly used whips are all useful.
Mu Xingqiu had a similar experience. That was the moment before Fangfang broke the pill. Lan Qizhang cast a light mask to take him away forcibly. Mu Xingqiu's long whip automatically stretched out and shattered the light mask together with the black phoenix. He had a chance at that time Capture Lan Qizhang’s emotions,
But he missed it, Lan Qizhang cast the spell faster, causing him to faint.
This time. He came prepared.
The emotions of ordinary people are as weak as sheep, but the heart of a Taoist priest has strong protection. If you want to break the protection, you must first understand the hidden knot of the Taoist heart. In order to cause emotional fluctuations, even a slight fluctuation, and secondly, to be able to get close to him to exert brute force. Make sure everything is done silently. This actually greatly reduced the power of the mental illusion against Taoist priests. If Sun Yulu hadn't been defenseless, Mu Xingqiu wouldn't have even had the chance to get close to her.
Mu Xingqiu recalled the arm in the Demon Pulling Cave. It tried every means to catch him, as well as Long Binhui, but found the Taoist's loophole but was still unable to resist because the loophole was too difficult to exploit.
Various thoughts flashed through Mu Xingqiu's mind without stopping. He concentrated on amplifying Sun Yulu's hidden emotions in his heart.
"Marquis Meng Yuan feels that he is not worthy of you, so he has to concentrate on his practice so that one day he can make you proud."
Sun Yulu's body shook slightly, but she didn't notice it herself, "Did he tell you this?"
"This is an obvious fact." Mu Xingqiu didn't want to lie. He could feel that he had an invisible arm, tightly grasping an invisible emotion. The young demon was also performing the same illusion, which was equivalent to strengthening his illusion. Doubled, "Why did Marquis Meng Yuan insist on choosing a heaven-defying art? Did he tell you?"
"He said..." Sun Yulu was hesitant. After all, she was a Taoist Priest of Dinxia. She didn't need to be careful, and her ability to protect spells was stronger than a bunch of restrictions imposed by Dianxungui. But this resistance soon disappeared. She From the beginning, he underestimated Mu Xingqiu's strength and did not believe that he would dare to take action against him, so that he made a mistake at every step. "He said that many of the rules of the tradition were unreasonable, and he wanted to take a dangerous path that no one before him dared to take," he said. Way, maybe this will be the right way in the future.”
"You have to cut off the emotional tribulation to reach a higher realm. This is also an unreasonable rule. Meng Yuanhou wants to open up a new path for you that does not require tribulation." Mu Xingqiu just grasped that emotion and did not dare to exert too obvious an influence.
The young demon once again took the lead. It didn't care whether it was dangerous or not, and it didn't care whether it was stronger than the opponent. When a child fights, sometimes the opponent is much older than him, but he refuses to give in. If he loses the first fight, he fights a second time.
With such energy, the young demon made a click sound in his mouth and cast an illusion spell on Sun Yulu.
"Why doesn't he take me with him to practice heaven-defying arts? I'm willing to take risks with him." Sun Yulu's carefully crafted emotions were completely exposed. She couldn't hide it, and she didn't want to hide it anymore. There was a sudden sourness and sweetness. It made her flustered.
Even failed love is so perfect, this is its most terrifying part, and it is also one of the reasons why Taoists must go through the tribulation of love. Sun Yulu knows this truth, but once she tastes it, she can never let it go.
"Because Meng Yuanhou can't bear to let you take risks, he would rather open up his own way and call you when the future is bright."
Mu Xingqiu felt ashamed. He respected Meng Yuanhou, but at this time he was using the Dujiao to control another person, but he immediately drove away this shame. If the mind is not strong, the power of the illusion will drop sharply.
"Yes, we are all Taoists... Until now, I don't understand what kind of broken rules this is. You have to go through the tribulation to improve your cultivation realm."
"Because the inner elixir gives you hundreds or thousands of years of life and powerful power, but you have to give up everything except it." Sun Yulu's anger gradually became obvious.
"I don't want to abandon Qin Lingshuang, even if I become a demon because of it, I don't want to abandon her." Mu Xingqiu tried to use Fangfang's real name. So as not to cause Sun Yulu to think.
"You shouldn't give up. I wouldn't either."
Mu Xingqiu was silent for a while. Opposite him, the young demon's illusion power was getting stronger and stronger. Its two small eyes were shining, much brighter than the surrounding candles.
Mu Xingqiu was not sure whether the young demon's behavior was because of Fangfang or because he liked the mind illusion too much.
He didn't have time to think about it, and asked softly: "You have to help me, tell me why you use so many people to bind souls?"
Sun Yulu shook her head in distress. "I don't know, I'm also confused. Normally, I can bind souls by myself, but the great soul binder insisted on casting the spell himself and brought seven other people."
Mu Xingqiu glanced at the old woman in the distance, the so-called great soul binder.
"You have to be very focused when you're capturing souls, right?"
"Of course, you can't be distracted at all, in fact. Soul-binding masters are most vulnerable when they're casting spells, so we have to lay down soul-binding hidden texts so that the enemy can't see what's going on inside the formation, and ordinary spells will get lost when they come in. They won't hit the target at all, but will instead remind us. You insist on participating in the soul-binding in person, which makes it a bit difficult for us, so I have to stay awake. To prevent you from making a sudden move. That's right, even a Taoist priest who breathes in can cause damage to a soul-binding master who's casting a spell. To be honest, we don't really trust you."
"I understand." Mu Xingqiu smiled slightly. Sun Yulu began to tell the truth, but she was just a Taoist priest of Canxia, and she knew too little about the inside story. "This soul-binding formation..."
"Nine Mysterious Yin-inducing Formation requires nine people to cast the spell, but I am just an assistant."
"Nine Mysterious Yin-inducing Formation, can you communicate with each other through the candles?"
"Enter the candles, we are a whole."
"Then enter the candles and help me ask some questions. You know how important Qin Lingshuang is to me. I can't allow her soul to have any more accidents, just like Meng Yuanhou doesn't want you to take any risks." Mu Xingqiu lowered his voice, but the power of the illusion became stronger, and it was almost reaching its peak. The young demon had already used all his strength. The second level of the illusion could do two things at the same time. It was all used to cast illusions and cooperate with each other, so that Sun Yulu would not have any doubts.
Sun Yulu was silent for a while, but Mu Xingqiu was not in a hurry. He could feel that she had been convinced.
Another soul entered the Frost Soul Sword through his body, and the resistance was particularly strong. Mu Xingqiu and the young demon trembled twice at the same time.
Sun Yulu's eyes suddenly showed some confusion, as if she found something wrong.
"Meng Yuanhou may not be dead." Mu Xingqiu immediately spoke to attract Sun Yulu's attention, "Siguo Cliff is a distance away from Laozu Peak. According to my speculation, it can pass the Demon Fire Mountain. The demons are eager to attack Xijie Kingdom, and they may not notice a cave on the cliff. After the matter of Luanjing Mountain is resolved, I will go to find him."
"I will go too." Sun Yulu's confusion disappeared, "Wait a minute, I want to enter the candle and talk to the great soul master."
Sun Yulu closed her eyes, not realizing that something else was mixed in her spell.
Mu Xingqiu knew nothing about the candle spells, so he couldn't follow Sun Yulu into the candle, but he successfully attached the illusion to Sun Yulu's spell. With its help, the great soul master, who was in a weak state at the moment, would be very willing to tell the truth to his fellow Taoist priests.
Sun Yulu closed her eyes for a long time this time, and she didn't open her eyes until two more souls entered the Frost Soul Sword.
"I'm so sorry, it shouldn't be like this. We have no ill intentions, but Feng Ruhui is too strong. We can't put our greatest hope of defeating her on you. You are only at the Breathing Realm, and your mind is unstable." Sun Yulu paused for a moment, "After all fifteen souls enter the Frost Soul Sword, the Great Soul Master will quietly cast a spell to replace the soul in the sword with the soul in the jade axe. Even Zuo Liuying can't see the flaw."
Mu Xingqiu followed Sun Yulu's gaze and looked at the jade axe in the air. There were five jade axes in total, and it didn't look special. He was not angry, nor impatient, although there were only a few souls left floating nearby.
"How many souls can this jade axe and all the magic weapons here hold?"
"About three to five hundred."
"What about my sword? You said it can hold many souls."
"The Frost Soul Sword is indeed unique. According to my estimation, it can hold a thousand souls."
"What will happen to the magic weapon if too many souls are captured?"
"It will crack, lose spiritual power, and the souls will overflow."
Mu Xingqiu smiled again, "I have a suggestion. Why not expand the scope of the soul detention to ensure that Qin Lingshuang's soul will be in it? This matter cannot tolerate any mistakes, right?"
