Chapter 0521: Unexpected Captive
The bald man bit Mu Xingqiu's shoulder and hung on behind him without saying a word. No one could persuade him to come down. This was a punishment for Brother Xiaoqiu, a punishment for leaving him alone and walking for so long before coming back.
Mu Xingqiu endured the pain and walked around the camp with Bald Man, handling one thing after another, as if he was a part of him.
"Twenty-eight days, twenty-eight days, I thought... it would be good to come back, just come back." Xin Youtao followed Mu Xingqiu every step of the way, even staying outside the tent when he went to see the Gan brothers. , "Gan Zhiquan has nothing to say this time. You are the only person in the camp who has the power to kill the possessed."
"He needs to think about it."
"What's there to consider? Jiang Yinxia was killed before. Is he reluctant to let go of his biological brother?"
"No, I propose another option, for which he needs to think about it." Mu Xingqiu had already put away his black-striped straw hat, and did not intend to talk about the Demon Lord's rectification to Xin Youtao for the time being.
Xin Youtao was stunned for a while, but that was not what he was most concerned about, "Where's Lan Bingju? Have you found a way to reverse the magic of turning demons?"
"Gather everyone together and I'll talk together."
There was no need to call for a special call. Xin Youtao waved his hand and most of the Taoist priests gathered around. Only a few people needed to stick to their posts and monitor the situation far and near.
The demon-invading Taoist priests camped in a mountain valley, backed by a towering mountain peak. The ridges on both sides slowly closed together like arms, forming a natural barrier. Coupled with the protection of heavy spells, this place can be said to be very hidden.
There is snow everywhere, and even Taoist priests will become dizzy after looking at it for a long time, so someone in the camp transformed some flowers, plants and trees. Without looking at them with the third eye, they are still very lifelike, enough to make ordinary people think that they have mistakenly entered a fairyland.
Xiaohao and Flea walked over together. She didn't miss Mu Xingqiu, fearing that he would interfere with the practice as soon as he came back, but she missed Flea so much that she took it away as soon as they met and walked around for a long time before coming back.
Mu Xingqiu stood on a snowdrift. In front of him, the Taoist priests were still divided into two groups. On one side were the demon-transforming Taoist priests who looked weak, and on the other side were the demon-invading Taoist priests who appeared to be healthy.
"What you have is not the magic of transforming monsters." Mu Xingqiu said.
The demon-turning Taoist priests were all stunned, but Xin Youtao jumped up happily. After landing, he waved his arm to Xiao Qingtao and immediately asked: "Did you catch Lanbing Ju? What kind of magic is this? You found it. Is there a way to crack it?”
"Lan Bingju is dead, but I found a way to break it." This is one of the reasons why Mu Xingqiu stayed in the Ice City. He carefully studied Feiba's memory, although he did not find the content of the spell cast by Yashan Taoist priest on him. But he found out the details of Lan Bingke's "demon transformation technique".
"The real problem is the demon elixir. They have all been manipulated and added to the demon's bud-breaking method. Lan Bingju just summoned the magic. If you feel weak, you are actually consuming the inner elixir unknowingly. Eventually the inner alchemy will disappear completely, the length of time is not certain, the higher the level, the longer the process will be.”
"Let's talk about the solution first." Xin Youtao was really anxious.
Just as Mu Xingqiu was about to speak, a Taoist priest in the crowd said, "Listen to what you said, the method of breaking buds is very similar to the Heavenly Demon Thunder Shock Technique recorded in ancient books."
Not every Taoist priest likes to study ancient books. Only six or seven of the more than ninety people agreed. The others have never heard of the "Devil Thunder Shock Technique" hundreds of thousands of years ago, and Mu Xingqiu has not heard of it either. If possible, I’ll tell you what I know about the cracking method first, and see if it’s consistent with what you remember.”
The Taoist priests nodded immediately.
"Use the dead demon species as a guide and the starry flowers and stars in Wangshan as medicine."
"Exactly!" Several Taoist priests said in unison, and one of the female Taoist priests added: "This is the early antidote. Later, Taoism developed the Spiritual Return Pill."
Xin Youtao recognized the Taoist priest who spoke, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, "You are Meng Xu from the Zhaoshan Dan Medicine Department, you must have the spirit-returning elixir.
All the Nine Dao Dao all have elixir departments, and Zhaoshan is the most famous. Meng Xu immediately attracted everyone's attention. Her face was a little red. She didn't fall for the trick and stood with the normal demon-invading Taoist priests. "I didn't expect it." This time I will encounter demonic magic, so I didn’t bring so many elixirs, but there are spiritual elixirs in every Taoist tradition, does anyone bring them?”
Before launching the counterattack against the giant demon king, no one thought that demons would participate in this battle, so they did not bring useless elixirs. By the time the war was over, they had become demon-invading Taoist priests, and they just wanted to stay away from their former Taoist friends as soon as possible, let alone People care about elixirs.
Seeing no one said anything, Meng Xu hurriedly comforted everyone, "It doesn't matter, the rejuvenation pill is not difficult to refine, as long as you have the dead demon species and Xinghua Feiying... Well, if you have extra main magic weapons, you can take them out, The demon seeds in there are all dead, I have some of Xinghua Feiying myself, and it’s enough for everyone to scrape together the other ingredients.”
"How long does it take to make it?" Xin Youtao asked.
"About... about ten days. I may still need help from fellow Taoists from the Honglu Branch and the Shengong Branch."
Immediately, seven or eight Taoist priests signed up. The helpless atmosphere that had been oppressive in the camp for many days finally eased. Everyone saw hope. The two groups of Taoist priests who had had a grudge against each other became like a family again.
"Probably not. According to records in the book, Taoist priests who have been hit by the Heavenly Demon Thunder Shock Technique can last at least two or three months." Meng Xu said.
Xin Youtao finally felt relieved, smiled at Xiao Qingtao, and then turned to Mu Xingqiu, "Really, it turns out it's not the magic of transforming demons, but the ancient demon magic. It's useless for us to worry for so long. If we had known earlier... Good thing you found out the truth.”
"Actually, I should have thought of it earlier." Meng Xu and several disciples of the Alchemy Department looked at each other, and they were all a little embarrassed, but no one complained about them. Before that, everyone thought it was a demon-transforming technique. He didn't think about the demons.
Mu Xingqiu brought the most complete materials, contributing five main magic weapons and dozens of star-shaped flying eagles. The other Taoist priests also tried their best to come up with some materials, and soon enough was collected. Meng Xu brought The helpers immediately found a place to start work.
Other Taoist priests came over to say hello to Mu Xingqiu and asked about the details of the trip to Bingcheng. Mu Xingqiu briefly said that no one was particularly interested in Bingcheng and Feiba, and they quickly dispersed, with Xin Youtao still following him. , "I forgot one important thing. Our Seven Yuan Hidden Star Formation has not been practiced in vain. If we really catch a guy, you will never guess who it is."
The demon-invading Taoist priests practiced the Seven Yuan Hidden Star Formation in order to capture Lan Bingqu alive. She didn't come, but caught another sneak attacker.
Mu Xingqiu really couldn't guess who it was. Knowing that Xin Youtao was trying to show off, he didn't ask further questions and said with a smile, "Take me to see it."
Xiao Qingtao also came over and asked in a low voice: "Have you found the way to reverse the demon transformation?"
Mu Xingqiu shook his head. He went to Ice City for the magic of transforming demons, but it turned out to be a misunderstanding. However, his trip was not in vain. Not only did he find out what kind of evil magic Xin Youtao and others were, but he also got An ice city.
Xiao Qingtao sighed softly, which meant that Mu Xingqiu and Yang Qingyin's demon transformation process could not be reversed. She patted Bald Man on the back of his head, "Come down Bald Man, Brother Xiaoqiu finally came back, don't you want to talk to him?" ?”
The bald man was still biting Mu Xingqiu's shoulder and shook his head.
"I have a gift for you." Mu Xingqiu said.
The bald man still refused to let go.
Mu Xingqiu took out a separate Qiankun bag from his arms and summoned the skull lantern of the Virgin of All Sons. He had learned how to control this monster, making the demonic fire inside become larger and smaller, making it look like a skeleton. Blinking and smacking the tongue.
Xiao Qingtao could tell at a glance that this was something belonging to the demon clan, and frowned slightly, "You want to give it to Bald Man?"
"Ha, it's really unique. Which big demon did you snatch it from? This is not like the demon weapon that Feiba and Lan Bingke would have." Xin Youtao was not too disgusted.
Xiao Hao has been following closely, not too far away. Now she puts her arms around Flea's neck and lets it lead him to Mu Xingqiu, "Another head, can it talk? Is it as capable as the bald man?"
The bald man couldn't bear it any longer and finally let go of Mu Xingqiu's shoulders. When he saw that his clothes were torn, revealing two rows of clear teeth marks with gaps on them, he felt a little sorry, and immediately shouted confidently. : "Who made you leave me alone for so long?" He jumped up to Mu Xingqiu's chest, came face to face with the skull lantern, looked at it for a while and said, "It's really ugly. Is it really for me?"
"Give it to you, but I might need it later, and then..."
"On call!" Bald Man shouted excitedly, grabbing the skeleton with three strands of hair.
"Protect it well and don't let anyone take it away, not even Taoist priests." Mu Xingqiu added.
Little Hao was reaching out to touch the skull. Bald Man immediately moved it aside and solemnly promised: "It will be there when I am, and it will still be there when I am not..."
Mu Xingqiu must give the skeleton to Baldzi for safekeeping. The Holy Mother of All Sons has specially taken care of him. The skeleton is a relic of the first generation of the Holy Mother. It is somewhat repulsive to Taoist priests. If it is left on Mu Xingqiu for too long, he will lose the demonic power to enter and exit the ice city. , Bald Man has both a demon seed and a demon eye, and has no influence on the skull lantern.
Xin Youtao pointed to a tent in front of him, "It's right inside. You go in, we'll wait for you outside."
There are some techniques for controlling the skull lantern. Mu Xingqiu decided to teach the bald man later and walked into the tent alone.
There was a Taoist priest sitting in the tent, and it was a Taoist priest Mu Xingqiu knew. He was indeed someone he had never expected, "Master Zhou!"
Zhou Qianhui, the head of the Asan Science and Technology Department, was sitting on a futon with at least seven pieces of free rope wrapped around his body. He was closing his eyes to rest. Then he opened his eyes and said with a smile: "I'm back."
A month ago, Zuo Liuying left with Zhou Qianhui. Now one of them came back quietly and became a prisoner of the invading Taoist priests, while the other disappeared without a trace.
Mu Xingqiu touched the treasure bag on his waist. He kept the ball of light and never let it go.
