Chapter 418: The Non-Demon Showing Its Tail
Lao Zhuang still couldn't accept the fact that a half-demon who could have become a good brother was actually a Taoist priest in disguise. He strode out of the tent and stood at the door. He couldn't calm down for a long time. His mood gradually changed from confusion and shock to shame and indignation. He turned around suddenly and said loudly: "How could you be a Taoist priest? You are not a human at all."
Mu Xingqiu had just walked out of the tent. Although everyone thought it might be a trap, he decided to meet this "old friend of Pangshan". Hearing Lao Zhuang's question, he smiled slightly, "I am indeed a Taoist priest, and I am also a human."
Lao Zhuang shook his head firmly, "Impossible, when we were fighting together, I could feel that you were full of demon power... Maybe you are a descendant of the demon clan and accidentally drifted to the human world." Lao Zhuang's eyes lit up, "Let Yi Shijun bite you, and everything will be clear."
Mu Xingqiu did not know who his biological parents were, but he knew that he was a pure human. Pangshan had conducted the most comprehensive examination on him. If he had a little bit of demon blood in his body, it would have been taken out as evidence by the great law enforcement master Shen Zhun back then. "Sorry, I have no doubt about my identity."
Lao Zhuang took a big step forward, and his tall body was like a moving mountain in the night.
The stronghold has been closed, and a beheading platform stands in each of the four corners - a wooden sentry tower more than ten feet high. The top is not a flying demon nest, but a ball of light green demon fire. Above the flame floats a huge heart that is still beating, occasionally making a drum-like sound.
The camp is quiet, there is no fire, and no other demon soldiers are moving. At the entrance of an ordinary cave near the tent, Lao Zhuang stopped, "You must have the blood of the demon race, or you were born in the wrong family."
Mu Xingqiu still smiled slightly and walked into the cave.
The cave was very clean, with traces of being cleaned up just now. Without the light, Mu Xingqiu saw the old friend Pang Shan who invited him out with his heavenly eyes, "It's you." Mu Xingqiu sighed softly. Among the many possibilities, this is the one he least wants to see.
The man opposite is not tall. Although it is summer, he is wearing a thick fur coat. If you look closely, you will find that the thick hair covering his upper body is actually his tail, which is snow-white and fluffy. Folding over the shoulders and in front of the body, the tip of the tail hangs down to the waist.
The appearance of the non-demon Pei Zihan did not stay at a certain stage in the past. He grew up normally, and the childishness on his face completely disappeared. He became more mature and calm, which was an expression that he rarely showed when he practiced in Pangshan before.
In the Taoist tradition, non-demons are different species. Non-demons with tails and discovered by fellow disciples are more like sheep living in a pack of wolves. In those years, Pei Zihan was terrified every moment, and his face was always full of fear. He could condense Qi into a pill. It was beyond many people's expectations.
Now he,
with a smile on his face, standing with his hands behind his back, the tail that appeared once a month in the past, and he wanted to cut it off with a knife. Now it is openly shown and has become the part he is most proud of.
"Long time no see." Pei Zihan said.
"Six years."
"I think I should give you an explanation."
Mu Xingqiu shook his head, "No need. The matter is very clear. It is Xiao Qingtao who needs your explanation."
Xiao Qingtao is Pei Zihan's cousin. There is also Pei Ziqi. The three of them are from the non-demons of Furong Mountain. Entering Pangshan together is a grand event in the Pei family.
"I'm afraid there is no chance." Pei Zihan looked a little gloomy, "and she can't understand my situation. She made new friends as soon as she joined Pangshan. Even in the most difficult times, there were people around to protect and comfort her. No, her situation is completely different from mine. We are not on the same path. And you, Mu Xingqiu from Yelin Town, may understand my choice."
Both of them were once regarded as aliens. Mu Xingqiu suffered no less suspicion than the non-demons, but their reactions were different. Mu Xingqiu always resisted stubbornly and finally became the only disciple of the Mind Department. Pei Zihan always forbeared until he no longer wanted to endure.
"Where is Pei Ziqi?" Mu Xingqiu asked. Of the three siblings of the Pei family, only Xiao Qingtao left Laozu Peak.
"Dead, died as a Taoist priest of Pangshan, just like everyone else. Pei Zihan said lightly, as if it was just a relative who died of old age.
"Furong Mountain was destroyed by the demon soldiers."
"I know that the Giant Demon King once sent people to persuade them to surrender, but they refused to betray humans. This is a war, and the demons are the weaker party. We have no room or qualifications for tolerance."
"This is a war." Mu Xingqiu repeated, and the little bit of guilt in his heart towards Lao Zhuang disappeared, "When did it start?"
Mu Xingqiu's question was a little abrupt, but Pei Zihan understood what this sentence meant, "A year before the battle of Laozu Peak, I found the Giant Demon King in the back mountain. The scene of him transforming from a human form to a wolf kept flashing in my mind. I thought I could find something from him. ”
Pei Zihan raised his head and thought for a while. He hadn’t thought about that scene for several years. “Beast demons, half-demons, non-demons, no matter how much we look like humans, there is a beast hidden in our bodies. This is not a beast shape created by magic, but a real mark of ancestors, which has been passed down from generation to generation for hundreds of thousands or even millions of years. Only non-demons who are deeply influenced by humans will feel ashamed of this. The giant demon king revealed the form of his ancestors after his demon pill was taken away, but I don’t have a demon pill, and I didn’t even have an inner pill before. Why can he still maintain his human form? I am curious about this. ”
“Did Qi Wushang give you an answer?”
"No, the Giant Demon King is a warrior and a leader, not a wise man. Mr. Yishi may be able to give me the answer, but he disappeared before the war." Pei Zihan was silent for a moment, and the next narrative was much simpler, "Giant Demon King" Wang had recovered some of his memory at that time, but he did not have the demon elixir, so he was in a lot of pain. I helped him and gained his trust that night. I was the one who brought him into the Ancestor Peak. I had already figured out how to destroy the moment. The platform left Pangshan alone and helpless. The Mountain of Demonic Fire had been buried for a long time, and the Fei clan was also dormant more than ten feet underground. It was all for that night. It was not a perfect plan, but a desperate adventure. The Giant Demon King doesn't care, and neither do I. Neither of us thought it would be a big success, let alone that this success would be destroyed by Duanliu City."
"I want to take away all the captured Taoist priests and humans, as well as the new Mr. Yishi."
"Haha, you haven't changed at all. You always take things on yourself, no matter how much it has to do with you, or whether you have the ability. You once helped me, and I have never forgotten it. This meeting was mainly for Thank you."
Strictly speaking, Mu Xingqiu was helping Fangfang and Xiao Qingtao at that time. He had no prejudice against Feiyao, but he didn't like them enough to insist on making friends with them.
"Do you need me to tell Xiao Qingtao about your situation?"
"No, sooner or later, she will see me become a giant monster with her own eyes." Pei Zihan smiled, a clear smile that only a Taoist priest can have, "And you can't leave here, I want to keep you, really If not, we can only kill you. We must not allow a group of Taoist priests to come and go freely, let alone take Xinjun away. After Yishijun disappeared, there were only five descendants left, and Xinjun was one of them. They each have some records of ancient magic and are trying one by one. It will take at least thirty years to complete them all. "
"Is he the one who helped you practice sorcery?"
"Well, I haven't done anything else in the past six years. I have concentrated on refining the inner elixir into a demon elixir. Thanks to Xinjun's help, I have achieved a little success and can control the Holy Cloud. You must have seen the Holy Cloud's arrow, then It’s just a small test, we have more powerful magic, but we haven’t used it because we don’t want to accidentally injure too many demon soldiers.”
Pei Zihan seemed gentle and a little embarrassed even when he issued the threat, so he tried to make the threat as easy as possible.
"Besides killing the new king and fighting Yaoyun to the death, we seem to have no other choice."
"We are going to provide a choice. Seven Saint Clouds versus Seven Taoist Priests. Find an open place. Both sides can show their abilities. The winner takes all. The loser...is the loser."
"Seven Taoist priests? There are only six Taoist priests here." Mu Xingqiu counted Xin Youtao.
"We will choose a Taoist priest from among the eleven prisoners and lend it to you."
Mu Xingqiu thought for a while and said, "Okay."
"There is rarely a fair fight between demons and Taoist priests. I hope we can set an example."
"I hope so. I've learned some new spells in recent years, too."
"I know that you absorbed more than 100,000 souls in Duanliu City. This kind of magic even shocked the Giant Demon King. You broke through the fish-dragon formation with lightning a few days ago, which quite opened our eyes. It was just to see With all your abilities, the other six Saint Cloud Envoys are willing to accept this fair fight."
"I choose the time. An hour later, we will fight at dawn."
"I chose a location. There is a valley twenty miles northeast of here, surrounded by peaks, which is enough for us to fight."
Pei Zihan, a non-demon, is a true betrayer, .ash. c Mu Xingqiu did not have any resentment in his heart, but only felt regret, "How many Pangshan Taoist priests are still alive?"
"There are less than ten, and only the Giant Demon King knows where they are imprisoned."
"Where is Meng Dujiao? How could he become an Amber Taoist Priest?"
Pei Zihan smiled again, "Meng Dujiao is a good man, but he has gone too far on the path of heaven-defying magic. He refined his whole body into inner elixir, and wrapped it with a thick layer of solidified spiritual energy. , like a translucent amber, but he is unable to escape the shackles created by himself. He has the ability to absorb demon power and mana, and can even absorb demon elixirs and inner elixirs. But it requires the help of a large number of magic weapons to form a formation, and Meng Dujiao doesn’t need to use it. You can imagine how powerful a weapon he can be if used properly.”
The fact that Mu Xingqiu failed to clarify from the Luanjing Mountain Taoist priest was explained to him by a non-demon who betrayed the Taoism, "After this battle, I am going to rescue the Mengdu Sect."
Pei Zihan bowed slightly without showing any sign of ridicule.
