Chapter 358: Entering Beijing

Mu Xingqiu opened his eyes and found the bald man looking at him with concern, so he smiled at him and said, "If someone likes you very much and can fulfill all your wishes, are you willing to go with him?"

The bald man's expression suddenly became serious, "Is someone talking nonsense? No matter what the princess and Zeng Fu say, I will not be with them. I... I am a boy. I usually make them happy. It's okay if I always hang out with women. People will laugh at you. "

"But the female Taoist priest likes you more than the male Taoist priest."

The bald man was stunned for a while, "Yes, why is this happening? I have to blame you for this. You always play with my mother and Xiao Qingtao, or else you stay in Luanjing Mountain for retreat. They are all female Taoist priests. What do I have? way?"

"I also have people like Shen Hao, Xin Youtao and Daliang around me."

The bald man was speechless for a moment, and his face was actually a little red. He didn't know what shyness was, he was just plain annoyed, "I blame you too, it's all your fault. You brought me back from Yelin Town. I was hunting in the forest. Drinking blood and making friends with little demons, it was a lot of fun, but you decided to take me to Pangshan, washed my face, combed my hair, and said that I was also a Taoist priest in Pangshan, and... and..."

The bald man racked his brains to think, and Mu Xingqiu said, "I won't let others take you away. We are both from Yelin Town. We are good friends and trust each other."

The bald man laughed and said, "Haha, you said this sentence, I have remembered it firmly. Don't blame me for reminding you of this sentence often in the future."

Of course Mu Xingqiu was not surprised. He just felt it. He wanted to make an either-or choice between Dao Tong and Young Demon. Bald Man did help him.

The young demon has not shown any hostility towards Dao Tong, but her behavior of gifting the inner elixir and storing it in Niwan Palace is completely different from Dao Tong's practice method for more than 130,000 years. This is an obvious hint. Her ultimate goal, or her so-called truth, will most likely not be approved by the orthodox.

But Mu Xingqiu decided to believe her. Just like the bald man believed in Brother Xiaoqiu when the truth was revealed. He has the ability to judge for himself.

Mu Xingqiu was about to think again and start practicing the second inner elixir in the Niwan Palace. Someone outside shouted loudly: "What are you two doing? You're on your way, lazy boy! Don't let me tear down the tent."

It was Yang Qingyin who urged the two of them to set off. Mu Xingqiu felt that only a little time had passed, but he didn't expect that it was already dawn outside. He placed several magic weapons around to block the prying eyes of outsiders. It also limits his sensory abilities.

He hurriedly put away the magic weapon and shouted back: "Come out immediately."

Yang Qingyin didn’t respond.

The bald man said in a low voice: "Don't tell me that I always hang out with female Taoists. Is this a female Taoist? I don't see it."

There were not many things in the temporary tent, so Mu Xingqiu packed it up in a moment, grabbed a strand of the bald man's hair, and dragged him out, "I will only admire you if you dare to say this in front of her."

The bald man laughed and shook his head, "I won't be fooled."

The fleas outside are waiting impatiently. It was jumping back and forth, and all the horses around it were avoiding it.

It was indeed bright, but the princess's team had no intention of setting off. The tents were not closed, the horses were saddleless, and only a few Taoist priests were neatly dressed and ready to go.

Just as Mu Xingqiu was wondering, Xiao Qingtao rode over and said, "It's only one day away from the imperial capital. The princess wants to stay here for a few more days. The first one decided to go first. Anyway, it's safe here and we don't need to protect the princess."

The imperial capital is the most prosperous place in the world, even for Xiao Qingtao, a Taoist priest of Dinxia. He also showed some excitement because he was about to enter Beijing.

Zuo Liuying's carriage drove out of the camp automatically, followed by several Taoist priests on horseback. Mu Xingqiu stayed at the end. He had already seen Master Pan walking towards him.

"Thank you, the catechumens, and all the Pangshan Taoist priests for taking care of you along the way. Please feel free to go to Beijing, there will not be any danger here. In three to five days, we will also enter Beijing, and then I will pay a visit to express my gratitude.

When Mr. Pan said "there won't be any more danger", he deliberately emphasized his tone. He obviously knew that the princess was almost killed. At the same time, this was also a safety guarantee for Liu Ding and the other three.

"Goodbye in the Imperial Capital." Mu Xingqiu jumped on the Qilin's back, nodded to Mr. Pan, and left the camp to catch up with his companions who had already set off.

The Taoist priests didn't have to rush for a day's journey for ordinary people. It only took half a day. Just after noon, the people in Pangshan had left the rarely visited speed road and entered the outskirts of the imperial capital. From here on, they could no longer cast spells at will. , can only walk on the ground at normal speed.

Even outsiders who have no expectations for the imperial capital will be shocked by the sight before them. In most cities, Taoist priests are eccentric people. Their costumes, riding unicorns, and horseless carriages all attract attention. Only in the Imperial Capital, it is the Taoist priests who feel that the attention is not enough. Not an ordinary mortal.

This is an extremely huge city with so many tall buildings that even Taoist priests cannot see the end of it.

Unlike ordinary cities, the Imperial Capital does not have towering walls, and magic is not prohibited in general. The influence of talismans is reflected everywhere, from the clothes of babies to the tall buildings, all of which are written with talismans of varying sizes, and more items are directly pasted with paper talismans.

Although it is a place where mortals live, it shows more magic miracles than the ancestral lands of the nine Taoist sects. However, mortals are mortals after all. Talismans provide convenience, but they cannot change everything. The hawking of vendors, the noise of pedestrians, and the scramble for talismans are all the same as in ordinary cities.

The curiosity of the Taoists in Pangshan soon turned into torture. Their perception ability is far beyond that of ordinary people. Even if they deliberately restrain themselves, the sound, dust, and sea of ​​people still come to them. Only Shen Hao, who had been to the Imperial Capital before, was prepared for this and taught his companions a simple and easy-to-use small spell of the Discipline Department. Although it cannot eliminate the sound and light from the outside world, it is no longer disturbed by it.

"I thought you couldn't cast spells in the Imperial Capital." Xiao Qingtao raised her voice unconsciously.

"There are too many talismans here, and it's impossible to ban them, but there are also very strict regulations. Look, no one is flying in the sky." Shen Hao explained.

Indeed, as a city with talismans everywhere. The sky above the Imperial Capital is a little lonely, but not completely empty. Some flying talismans hover in the sky like eagles, monitoring the traces of talismans throughout the city to prevent abuse.

Yang Qingyin suddenly laughed and pointed to the carriage in front and said, "No wonder Zuo Liuying asked us to prepare such a prison car. He is afraid to enter the city. Haha, I guarantee that he must not hear anything now." In order to verify her statement, she raised her voice. "Zuo Liuying, Lan Binghu is here to seek revenge on you!"

There was no response in the carriage. The other Taoists just laughed secretly. Even if Zuo Liuying heard Yang Qingyin's cry, he would not pay attention to her.

The further they went into the inner part of the Imperial Capital, the more chaotic the road became. Shen Hao ran to the front to lead the way. Xiao Qingtao and Xiao Hao looked around but were always left behind. The bald man returned to his backpack. Even for the well-informed people of the Imperial Capital, a lonely head was still too scary.

Mu Xingqiu actually got rid of his curiosity about the City of Talismans a long time ago. He was always thinking about the second inner pill in the Niwan Palace. He had many doubts that needed to be explained. Zuo Liuying was the best candidate and the most dangerous candidate. If the senior Taoists thought that this move was seriously harmful, they would definitely control it first and then study it without hesitation.

He increased his speed slightly, caught up with Yang Qingyin who was not far ahead, and asked: "You are a Taoist girl, have you ever heard of anyone who has two inner elixirs?"

Yang Qingyin thought for a while, "No, why are you asking this? One inner elixir is difficult enough. Who would practice two for no reason? Besides, where should I put the second inner elixir? They can't be in the lower dantian, they will fight. Until the lower dantian collapses."

"We have three dantians, upper, middle and lower."

Yang Qingyin's eyes became serious. "Your questions are getting weirder and weirder. The three dantians have their own functions and can't be moved around randomly... Is this the reason why you have been stuck at the seventh level of inhalation?" She suddenly lowered her voice.

Mu Xingqiu smiled, "No, I just suddenly thought that many monsters look almost the same as humans, but their monster pills are not placed in the lower dantian."

"Looking like on the surface does not mean they are like inside. Many times, it is just the result of illusion. The physique of monsters is still different from that of humans. They probably don't have three dantians at all."

"Well, I thought too much. But what about non-monsters? Xiao Qingtao is the same as us. Hong Futian is a casual cultivator. Some non-monsters have formed monster pills like half-monsters and beast monsters. How to explain this?" Mu Xingqiu's questions came one after another, and he lowered his voice when talking about Xiao Qingtao.

Yang Qingyin was stunned by the question. Although she was a Taoist daughter and knew a lot about strange stories, she was not interested in the profound Taoist methods. She thought blankly for a long time and said sternly: "Random thoughts will damage the heart of Taoism. Mu Xingqiu, you should be honest." He immediately put on a smile again, "If I were a high-level Taoist, I would explain all your doubts in this way."

Mu Xingqiu smiled and shook his head. He could not get an accurate answer from Yang Qingyin.

The group entered the inner city. The streets were not so crowded, but the buildings on both sides were taller and more majestic. Dozens of floors of pavilions could be seen everywhere. The most conspicuous ones were more than a dozen high towers, like spears piercing the sky.

Shen Hao turned around and introduced to his companions loudly: "That is the Talisman Tower. It belongs to the Dragon Bin Club. Only talisman masters with high status can go up. Do you see the tallest one? The chief talisman master is performing his duties in it. Xin Youtao is the ink envoy, and wanh.cm should be in it too."

Xiao Qingtao, who was very happy all the way, turned cold and lost more than half of her interest.

The nine Taoist sects have a fixed residence in the imperial capital, not far from the Talisman Tower and the Imperial Palace in the central city. It occupies a large area. Usually, few people live there. In order to facilitate negotiations, more and more Taoists have moved in in recent years.

There is no sign of talismans in this area. The walls, houses, and plants are all normal.

Pangshan Taoist Hall had already received the news that the head monk was coming, and more than ten Taoist priests on duty had prepared everything. Zuo Liuying got off the car and went into his room, and never came out again.

There were seven members of the Demon Slayer Club in the hall, several of whom had participated in the Battle of Broken Flow City and were very familiar with Mu Xingqiu. They greeted him enthusiastically, and soon a Taoist priest said excitedly: "Tonight, you two will fight, and there will be more spectators. Disciples from various Taoist sects want to come, and the Demon Slayer Club has suddenly gained dozens of people!"

The news spread too fast. Mu Xingqiu and Shen Hao had not arrived yet. We had already made arrangements and no one could regret it.
