Chapter 0445 What Did You Fancy?
The backyard of the Shen residence soon became empty. Except for Mu Xingqiu, the members of the Demon Slayer Association still maintained their original identities. The orders of the Daoist tradition still had an immediate effect on them.
Xiaohao had been standing under the eaves, looking around a few times, and walked through the entire yard with slow steps, and came to Mu Xingqiu, "Now I am the only disciple of the Mind-Reading Department."
"Huh?"
"You have already withdrawn from the Daoist tradition, and you are not a disciple of Pangshan, so you are naturally not a disciple of the Mind-Reading Department. I am the only one left."
After a few months, Xiaohao finally responded to Mu Xingqiu's actions in the Imperial Capital.
Mu Xingqiu remembered Long Mo's praise for Xiaohao and smiled at her, "Why didn't you go with everyone? Luanjingshan is also recruiting disciples."
"I can't fly." Xiaohao is already a girl of sixteen or seventeen, but her tone is as innocent as a five or six-year-old child, "And I am now considered a disciple of Pangshan, but Pangshan always seems to forget this matter. I should remind Grandmaster Pangshan when I have a chance."
"During the time I was away, did you practice martial arts?" Mu Xingqiu asked seriously. He was not used to speaking in a tone of teaching, and in this regard he was not even as good as Xiao Qingtao, who had been a teacher.
Xiaohao raised her head and thought for a while, as if this question was particularly difficult to answer, "Well - I practiced martial arts in my dream, does that count?"
Mu Xingqiu shook his head seriously.
"Oh, you don't know how much has happened recently. It's not just me. Everyone hasn't practiced much." Xiaohao took a step back, looking a little nervous, "I'll practice now, okay?"
Mu Xingqiu nodded, and Xiaohao took a few steps back and started practicing bone-forging fist in the yard. She didn't regress much, but she didn't make obvious progress either. If she continued to practice like this, she might never reach the level of performing nine kinds of luck methods at the same time.
Two little heads poked around the door, and Mu Xingqiu pretended not to see them. Zhang Xiang'er was a little bolder and ran in. She was already behind Xiaohao, and Shen Cunyi followed in. He was too flustered and almost fell halfway. He stood behind Zhang Xiang'er with a red face.
The two children learned from Xiaohao and practiced boxing.
After all, Xiaohao was a Taoist priest of the second level of inhalation. Although his boxing skills could not satisfy Mu Xingqiu, he had made some progress and was very fast. The two children could only see one or two percent of the movements, but they studied very seriously and could actually keep up slowly.
Mu Xingqiu neither stopped nor encouraged, but just watched silently. Zhang Xianger was indeed smarter. After two times, her skills were already quite good. She could find ways to make up for the moves that were really unclear. Shen Cunyi was a bit clumsy. He learned from Zhang Xianger, whose moves were not accurate to begin with, and they were even more messy when he did it.
At the beginning of the third round of boxing, Xiao Hao suddenly stopped, and the two children stopped too.
"When will Baldy come back?" Xiao Hao asked, still asking whatever he thought of.
"Why is this set of boxing different from what I learned?" Zhang Xianger thought it was time to ask questions.
"That... that... it's time to eat, right?" Shen Cunyi really couldn't think of any questions.
In Mu Xingqiu's eyes, these three people were all children. He walked over, rolled up his sleeves, and answered their questions while practicing boxing slowly.
"The bald guy is missing. I don't know when he will come back." Mu Xingqiu's fists each produced a lightning several feet long. He did not use a whip, but cast spells directly with his fists. Not only did he consume more mana, but the power was also reduced, but it was enough to attract the attention of the three children.
"This is the bone-forging fist of the Nianxin Department. It is different from the ordinary bone-forging fist you have learned. It is more ancient." The lightning quickly expanded and turned into two huge lightning balls. Mu Xingqiu seemed to be holding two sledgehammers. His movements became slower and slower, but more powerful. Every punch seemed to be able to break stones and iron. The three people were amazed and stepped back involuntarily.
"There is still an hour before dinner. If you are hungry, you can go to the kitchen to find something to eat." Mu Xingqiu suddenly sped up and cast nine kinds of luck methods at the same time, transforming into nine arms and nine lightning balls. This is the first level of illusion. It looks very dazzling, but in fact, the power is dispersed. The higher the level of illusion, the fewer arms are needed.
But for Xiaohao, Zhang Xianger and Shen Cunyi, this was the most amazing magic they had ever seen. They all opened their mouths wide and stared at Mu Xingqiu blankly, forgetting their own questions.
After the boxing ended, Mu Xingqiu stood up and nine balls of lightning hovered around him, quickly connected into a line, and then disappeared completely.
Xiaohao was much older than the two children and had already obtained the status of a Taoist priest. She had seen Mu Xingqiu perform mind illusion in the battle in the Imperial Capital with her own eyes, but her mouth was the biggest, "Mind Bone Refining Fist... Can it really be practiced to this level?"
Mu Xingqiu had already guessed the reason why Xiaohao was not interested in boxing. This set of boxing was too different from the lightning he performed in the battle in the Imperial Capital. In the eyes of ordinary Taoist priests, they were two sets of unrelated methods. Xiaohao had his own little thoughts and must have felt that boxing was useless.
Mu Xingqiu lowered his level and used the first level of illusion to stimulate lightning, which could attract Xiaohao's interest.
"Well, as long as you can keep practicing."
"Persist." Zhang Xiang'er and Shen Cunyi said at the same time, their interest was even higher.
The three of them immediately dispersed and practiced boxing seriously.
Mu Xingqiu walked to the side and summoned a small sound transmission incense burner from the treasure bag on his waist. He felt the warmth of the incense burner just now and knew that someone wanted to talk to him.
It was Shen Hao's voice, speaking very fast, "The guardian must be a Taoist priest in the same department. Zuo Liuying claims to be your guardian, which means that he has to quit the Forbidden Secret Department and join the Mind Mind Department! The Grand Master has publicly rejected it. Zuo Liuying’s decision... keep in touch and we’ll talk about it later.”
Before Mu Xingqiu could say anything, Shen Hao's voice had disappeared.
Mu Xingqiu didn't expect there to be such a rule, but in the past few years, he had never had a protector in the Nianxin Department. He taught Lin Sa to give him a lot of advice and help, and he never regarded himself as a protector.
Zuo Liuying often did amazing things, but this time it was too sudden. The real illusion had left her, and Mu Xingqiu didn't feel that she had anything left worth Zuo Liuying's attention.
There was another sound coming from the sound transmission incense burner. Xiaohao and the other three were in the middle of practicing boxing, but none of them were interested in the small magic of sound transmission.
Since the battle in Huangjing, Qishan Taoist Yang Qingyuan has become Mu Xingqiu's staunchest supporter, so he volunteered to provide information, "Master Qishan said Zuo Liuying's move was extremely unusual. He must have discovered something from you, I want to take advantage of it in advance, so I suddenly announced that I will be your protector. Someone will ask you soon..."
Yang Qingyuan's voice disappeared.
The Demon Transformation Pill was certainly not worthy of Zuo Liuying's attention. Mu Xingqiu was very confident in his "teaching the Dharma", but it could not attract the attention of the Taoist priest. He could only think of the only possibility, the third one in the Niwan Palace. Two inner elixirs were discovered by Zuo Liuying.
Mu Xingqiu didn't know where he had exposed his flaw, and he had never noticed that there was a spell that broke through his protective power and entered Niwan Palace, but he still couldn't hide it from Zuo Liuying.
In fact, Mu Xing Qiuyuan planned to tell everything in front of the Taoist priests. He knew that the strength he showed was far different from the inner elixir, and the truth would be leaked sooner or later. Moreover, he also wanted to use the second inner elixir to prove some of the most basic principles of Taoism. The practice method can be changed, but before he could reach this point, the summons was over and he was sent out of the flower hall.
The person whose summons was stopped midway was none other than Zuo Liuying.
The sound transmission incense burner was so hot that more and more Taoist priests wanted to talk to Mu Xingqiu. Some of them were doing so under the instructions of senior Taoist priests, and more of them were just out of pure curiosity.
Before Mu Xingqiu had time to reply, Shen Jixian, the head of Pangshan Five Elements Department, descended from the sky, walked up to Mu Xingqiu in two steps, grabbed the sound transmission incense burner, put it into his wide sleeve, and said, "Follow me."
"Where to go?"
Shen Jixian did not answer, but directly cast a spell to lift Mu Xingqiu into the air and fly towards the north.
Mu Xingqiu did not resist.
The three people practicing boxing in the yard stopped and looked at the retreating figure. Xiao Hao said: "Soon I will be able to fly in the sky."
"I can do it in a few years." Zhang Xiang'er didn't know this female Taoist priest yet, but she already had a competitive spirit. She turned to look at Shen Cunyi and said, "I will fly with you then."
Shen Cunyi nodded happily.
Mu Xingqiu was taken to the Shenyuan Garden Hall again. None of the Taoist priests were there, only the two of them.
"You still have secrets you haven't told."
"I still have a second inner elixir in the Niwan Palace, the fifth level of Xingluo, which was given to me by Zhenhuan."
Shen Jixian was stunned, and raised his hand to cast a spell to inspect Mu Xingqiu's Niwan Palace. As a result, he encountered strong resistance and the spell could not penetrate. Shen Jixian's face changed slightly, and after a while he put down his arm and said, "You are no longer Pang Shan." Disciple."
"I'm not." Mu Xingqiu could go with Shen Jixian without any resistance, and he could tell the secrets that he didn't intend to completely hide in the first place, but he didn't allow any more spells to enter his mind.
Shen Jixian didn't use force. He now believed that Taoist priest Xingluo of Yashan was indeed killed by Mu Xingqiu. "You should have told me earlier."
"I planned to say it in front of all the Taoist priests who were paying attention, but I was sent out."
Shen Jixian lowered his head slightly, as if deep in thought, but actually he was using magic to contact Pangshan Grandmaster Yang Yannian. He soon raised his head, "The second inner elixir in Niwan Palace is indeed rare, but... is the soul... Hidden in the inner Dan?"
"Absolutely not." Mu Xingqiu was very sure, because the inner elixir of a Taoist priest is a pure thing and cannot tolerate any impurities or hide the soul.
Shen Jixian just had a whim, and he knew it was impossible. He shook his head, "That's it? Are there any secrets?"
"I have nothing to hide."
Shen Jixian's face was full of confusion, "Why? Why exactly? Bu Zuo Liuying broke up with the grandmaster publicly because of you. What did he see in you? Demon seeds give birth to Tao roots? This happened a long time ago. Chapter Two inner elixirs? No Taoist priest is willing to practice one more inner elixir." Suddenly his expression became serious, "No matter what, you can't accept Zuo Liuying as your protector. Pangshan has just stabilized and can't stand another toss. "
"This is exactly what I said before." Mu Xingqiu really didn't think about agreeing. He was used to being alone and didn't need a protector at all.
The dim light flickered in the flower hall, and all the Taoist priests from various Taoist traditions had returned. Shen Jixian hurriedly retreated. This was not a place where he could stay.
Pangshan Grandmaster Yang Yannian looked gloomy, which was an extremely rare expression of emotion for a spiritually focused Taoist priest.
Zuo Liuying showed no change, and his young-looking face was as calm as ever. Mu Xingqiu had a hunch that it didn't matter whether he agreed or not. No one could stop what the head of the Forbidden Secret Division wanted to accomplish.
