Chapter 0443 New Road
Mu Xingqiu started from the Demon Transformation Pill. The memories of the six Taoist priests unfolded in the flower hall, and all the Taoist priests who paid attention could see it. He could save a lot of time, and he would have to tell the rest of the story.
Xinghua Feiying and Dinghai Lingworm did have a significant inhibitory effect on the demon transformation process, but these two medicines alone could not completely reverse the demonized body. The black horse spirit demon stood up from the ground at one point and even galloped around the valley. But this was only a temporary phenomenon. Within an hour, he fell to the ground again and never stood up again.
"Thank you for letting me feel the joy of running again, but I think it may be too late. My hooves seem to be on fire." This was the last sentence the black horse said, and then died. As the demon pill, The hind hoof really burned, and the flame quickly disappeared, but there seemed to be another fire burning under the fur, quickly consuming the black horse's flesh and blood.
Mu Xingqiu watched helplessly as the black horse turned into a skin and bones.
Mu Xingqiu went to catch up with the spirit demons who had left earlier. This team heading north to the land of demons left many traces along the way, but Mu Xingqiu failed to catch up with them and was stopped by the dragon demon on the way. Although she He can be considered a prisoner, but he can gain the trust of the spirit demon and can move freely.
"Those six Taoist priests died? What a pity, even if only one can survive..." Even when the dragon demon talked about the tragic things, he smiled, as if the matter was over as soon as he said the words, "I'm afraid you can't help Yang Qingyin now. , she has no resistance to the demon transformation, which reduces a lot of pain. If you let her remember everything again, it will only kill her faster. "
Mu Xingqiu asked Long Mo why he didn't tell him all this earlier.
"There is no basis for what you say. You have to discover these things yourself." The Dragon Demon is only willing to be a guide. She is like a collection of secrets, layered one on top of another. When one layer of veil is lifted, another layer of veil is exposed. " You know what you should do next. I will follow the spirit demon to protect Yang Qingyin for you. She is very fragile now. Just a few more thoughts are enough to kill her. Only I can help her. "
Mu Xingqiu did know what he should do. The Dragon Demon took him in a circle, but this circle was necessary. As she said, some things need to be witnessed to be fully believed.
Mu Xingqiu flew southeast and met a large number of demon soldiers shortly after leaving the spirit demon territory. After explaining his identity, he was sent to Baizhang City, the demon capital.
To his surprise, Baizhang City was almost undamaged. The city walls, houses, and streets were all intact, but it became deserted and deserted, with a small number of monsters living there.
Mu Xingqiu did not see the giant demon king Qi Wushang, but the right and wrong demon Pei Zihan greeted him.
Pei Zihan is also going through the process of transforming into a demon. In fact, he is one of the earliest experimenters of the Demon Transformation Pill, and he does so voluntarily. He hopes to become a pure demon, so he would rather take risks and has no resistance to transforming into a demon. , but the process was still extremely unsatisfactory. The magicians prepared another pill to prevent the transfer of inner elixir in the body, which was called "Dingdan Pill".
Pei Zihan provided a batch of Dingdan pills and sent flying demons to catch up and deliver them to the dragon demon. With these pills, Yang Qingyin's demon transformation process will be greatly slowed down. The pills will not leave her lower Dantian in the next two or three years. The danger for her was that she might remember everything at some point, awakening a deep hatred of the demon incarnation, and in that case, the Dingdan pill would be useless.
Pei Zihan did not provide help to Mu Xingqiu on his own initiative, but with Qi Wushang's permission. The purpose was very simple. The giant demon king hoped to perfect the art of demon transformation, which was different from the speculations of the spirit demons. The immature Demon Transformation Pill is just an accidental means to control the demon transformer. The Giant Demon King hopes that the demon transformer can be permanently effective, but the demon magicians have reached a dead end and need new methods to intervene.
Qi Wushang had previously invited Mu Xingqiu to compete at Yaoshan Pass for this purpose.
Hao Wangu's demon-transforming technique was just a little trick, but he did lay the foundation. Many magicians made a lot of improvements before creating the demon-transforming pill. The burly Taoist Zhaoshan guessed it right, the demon-transforming pill is very important. The two ingredients were demon pills and demon relics, but there was another ingredient that he couldn't guess, and that was the fragments of the Amber Taoist Priest.
Meng Yuanhou expanded the inner elixir to the whole body, absorbing all kinds of power to form a thick transparent shell. A few years ago, a magician had a whim and added some amber fragments into the demon pill, and finally obtained it. Breakthrough progress.
But it is very difficult to obtain amber fragments. Meng Yuanhou is not under any control, and all the forces approaching him are ruthlessly absorbed. Regardless of humans or monsters, every time the amber is removed, several magicians will be injured or even injured. die.
Qi Wushang originally planned to use Mu Xingqiu's powerful magic power to transform the Amber Taoist priest so that Meng Yuanhou could accept his control, but Long Mo had another idea. She believed that the art of transforming demons was far more important than a single magic weapon. It would be better to let Mu Xingqiu voluntarily join the improvement plan, which would be more helpful to the giant demon king and the entire demon clan.
Pei Zihan gave Mu Xingqiu ten demon-transformation pills, "Whether it makes the process of demon-transformation safer or completely reverses it, you need to experience demon-transformation yourself and bring it back so that the high-level Taoist priests can also look at it. Just take a look, maybe they have some good ideas, but you have to come back, so we have to keep a few hostages."
Xin Youtao, Shen Ji and Ouyang Hao were surrounded by demon soldiers. As long as the giant demon king gave an order, they would be killed or captured alive and then take demon pills.
At this point, Mu Xingqiu had to explain the strange behavior of the dragon demon, "The dragon demon is Zhenhuan who once lived in my body. According to my observation, the soul is not in her body. She hid the soul and did not tell me its whereabouts. , I believe she didn’t tell the demon clan either. I can’t explain many of her actions. I can only guess that it was all to protect me. She probably thought that I couldn’t escape Qi Wushang’s pursuit, so instead of being forced to take the food, It is better to take the demon pill voluntarily, because whether you resist it or not will have a great impact on the demon transformation."
The dragon demon refused to reveal its ultimate purpose, so Mu Xingqiu's guess seemed a bit pretentious. He could clearly feel the doubts of the senior Taoist priests in the flower hall.
"Have you taken the demon pill?" Pangshan Grandmaster Yang Yannian asked. He couldn't directly see Mu Xingqiu's memory, so he could only speak.
"Not yet, because I'm not sure if I've really made up my mind, and I also want a senior Taoist priest to check out the Demon Transformation Pill."
Mu Xingqiu took out a small porcelain bottle and poured out ten demon-transforming pills. Each pill was of two colors, about the size of a soybean, and floated motionless in the air.
There was silence in the flower hall for a while, and Yang Yannian spoke again, "The demon clan's conspiracy is clearly in front of you, but you still deliberately took the demon-transforming pill because you wanted to find out how to reverse the demon-transforming process, so as to save Pang. Mountain Taoist Yang Qingyin.”
"That's right."
"If the demonization cannot be reversed, you have to find a way to advance the demonization, still to save Yang Qingyin's life."
"In order to save one person, you would rather let the entire demon clan benefit from it."
"My purpose is more than that simple. The art of transforming demons has been born and will not disappear easily. Even if all the demons are killed, they may be rediscovered by future demons. The Taoist tradition should prepare in advance. Just like Zhao Shan Like the six fellow Taoists in Qishan, I hope to use my experience to help Tao Tong. I will report the demon transformation process and insights to Tao Tong in detail. I also hope to get help from Tao Tong. If everything goes well, I will only find out. There is no need to delve into the method of reversal.”
"If it goes more smoothly, I can also find out the origin of Dao Fire. Perhaps the inner elixir and the demon elixir, the aura of heaven and earth, and the unclean air have more in common than the Taoists imagined. Experience of transforming into a demon will allow me to make a decision about this." Intuitive judgment. In fact, some similarities are obvious. Birds and beasts rely on minions, and ordinary mortals use tools. Only Taoism and magic in this world can activate magical and powerful forces, making a very small number of humans and monsters different. I think there must be a reason for this.”
Mu Xingqiu summoned the Frost Soul Sword and let it stop in mid-air in front of him, "The origin exists. This is the news revealed to me by a soul, and I have personally felt that the origin can produce more powerful power. , enough to fight against the demons. I hope to find a safe path to the source so that every Taoist priest can benefit from it.”
After a long time, a Taoist priest whose face Mu Xingqiu couldn't see clearly spoke, "You are arrogant, Mu Xingqiu, you are arrogant. The Taoism is boundless. What you know and come into contact with is just a drop in the ocean. You want to go straight through it?" Origin, you want to take a new path, but have you ever thought that all of this is just an old path, but you haven’t stepped in yet and are not qualified to see it.”
Of course Mu Xingqiu had thought about it, was it really true that no one knew what Fangfang understood the moment before she broke the pill? Maybe the Taoist priests knew everything, but they just didn't want to leak it to the outside world. He thought for a long time and finally came to the conclusion that the direction Fangfang pointed out was indeed a new road. "What the lower Taoist priests have walked so far The roads are all old roads trodden by predecessors. If I am also walking on the old road, why should you care? But you feel uneasy because this is not an old road, but a road that you have never thought of or thought was impossible. ”
Note that Taoist priests can also sneer, which is not much different from ordinary people, but there are not many things that can make them sneer.
"Do you think you know more than the Taoist priests?" asked another voice. The twenty-three Taoist priests had different ideas and could no longer speak through one person.
Mu Xingqiu shook his head, "I never think that I know more than any Taoist priest. I am just willing to go further on the dangerous road."
"You have to surrender all the memories in your head."
"Possession. This is a classic sign of possession. I request a thorough examination."
"It's not that I'm possessed by a demon, it's just that my love is too deep."
"We can't let him go back to the demon clan. This is Qi Wushang's conspiracy."
"Let him keep talking, maybe there is a glimmer of hope."
…
Note that the Taoist priests had an unprecedented public argument in front of a low-level Taoist priest. Mu Xingqiu had nothing to say. He could still give some specific reasons for transforming into demons. As for the origin, he could only ask for belief, but could not provide much evidence. Fangfang, who was very important to him, was very important to him. Others are meaningless.
Will any Taoist priest give him even a little trust? Mu Xingqiu's eyes slowly swept over and finally stopped on a person's face.
Zuo Liuying spoke, his voice was not loud but very clear, "Give him a chance."
"This is not an opportunity, this is a conspiracy, which will make the demon clan more powerful and become a big trouble for the Taoism." The first person to object was Pangshan Grandmaster Yang Yannian.
Zuo Liuying raised his right hand, put his thumb against his ring finger, and held the other three fingers straight, making the simplest Dao Fire Jue, "I am willing to guarantee him and be his protector to ensure that he will not be used by the demon clan. "
