Chapter 0543 Mother's Instructions

The morning light was shining on the horizon, and Shen Hao was gone. He was a pure Taoist priest, with a complete heart of a Taoist priest. He only did what he should do and would not get entangled.

"Take care of yourself, you will encounter more than just the Demon Slayer Guild." These were the last words he left.

Xin Youtao looked at Shen Hao's retreating figure, feeling a little disappointed in his heart. Suddenly he felt that it didn't matter anymore, "Shen Hao loves to punch his fists, so it's better to stay away from him." Turning to Mu Xingqiu, "Can the art of transforming demons really be contagious? I don’t feel anything at all, especially them, they haven’t changed at all.”

"They" refers to the Gan brothers and others. They were not affected by Lan Curling's magic, nor did they seem to be infected by Mu Xingqiu. Everything seemed normal.

"Maybe it's because Mu Xingqiu has been away for a month..." Meng Xu was worried about everyone's misunderstanding and hurriedly added: "I don't care, we have been invaded by demons, even if we have turned into demons... as long as we don't take refuge in demons or fight against If you are an enemy of Taoism, it doesn’t count as something wrong, right?”

Everyone nodded. After experiencing so many things, transforming into a demon could no longer cause them too much fear. Xiao Qingtao looked at Mu Xingqiu and knew that he was not thinking about transforming into a demon at this time, "You have to get Fangfang's soul back." ?”

Mu Xingqiu nodded, this was a natural decision for him without any consideration.

The only thing that puzzled him was the dragon demon. Her behavior was becoming more and more unpredictable. Why did she give her soul to Yang Qingyin? Shen Hao's words just now were unclear. Maybe he really didn't know anything. Mu Xingqiu guessed that since the spiritual Taoist priest was willing to help Yang Qingyin, the divine soul was most likely in her body.

He turned to everyone, "I must say again, this trip is very dangerous. The enemies we will face are not monsters, but orthodoxies, and there may be some people who are familiar with you in the past."

"Just like Shen Hao, he used to be Mu Xingqiu's best friend and grew up in a town." Xin Youtao interjected.

"This time he sent me a message, next time we might be throwing spells at each other."

Mu Xingqiu knew that there was all the evidence about his transformation into a demon, and even the Taoist priests he was familiar with could not give in again and again, "This kind of thing will happen to you too, so go to Bingcheng, where Waiting for news from me, I don't want to see more friends turn against each other. This has nothing to do with courage.

"It has nothing to do with courage, this is just a choice." Xiao Qingtao said lightly. She once had the opportunity to continue to be an ordinary Taoist priest, but she would rather get along with a group of fugitives. "You go for the soul, I want to help Yang Qingyin. "

"Yang Qingyin, someone can help." Xin Youtao whispered.

Xiao Qingtao shook her head, "I understand her, that may not be the help she wants. Everyone has a choice, and so does she, right?"

"My choice is to follow you." Xin Youtao said seriously, and then while Xiao Qingtao lowered his head in embarrassment, he secretly winked at Mu Xingqiu to show that his method was effective.

Xin Youtao and Xiao Qingtao made their choice, but the other Taoist priests did not speak immediately, but looked at each other, wanting to know others' decisions. As for Xiao Hao and Bald Zi, they didn't care what Mu Xingqiu was saying at all. Can't drive him away either.

Everyone thought that the Gan Brotherhood would express their stance first, but they turned out to have no intention of speaking. They knew very well that no matter what they said, they would be seen as carrying out Mu Xingqiu's wishes, so they simply stayed silent.

In the end, it was Meng Xu who spoke first. She had never thought of becoming a leader, but the realm of swallowing smoke still gave her a special status, and her words carried great weight, "When I walked into the land of monsters, I had no friends to see me off, so I don’t have to worry about ‘friends turning against each other’ happening to me.”

The interactions between Taoist priests are always in moderation, and even the male and female Taoist priests who are married are not particularly close, so Meng Xu does not particularly care about friendship. "I still choose to follow Mu Xingqiu. There is no special reason, I just feel more comfortable this way." ”

The demon-invading Taoist priests expressed their opinions one by one. No one wanted to go to Ice City. Many people felt that sooner or later they would encounter Taoism. Instead of hiding in Ice City, it was better to take the initiative to meet them.

The team moved forward again. There was no wind or snow. They increased their speed and at the same time increased their vigilance. Since Shen Hao is here, the Demon Slayer Association will not be too far away. There will probably be high-level Taoist priests as well. The war may begin at any time. .

Mu Xingqiu has already performed Demon Lord Zhengfa, and Tao Tong can use all means against this group of people without any scruples.

To their surprise, the rest of the journey was uneventful. Except for passing through several abandoned demon villages, there were no accidents. Shen Hao was like a character in a dream, coming and going alone.

In the evening, Xin Youtao guessed: "Ah ha, I know, the Taoism wants to catch them all in one fell swoop. The Taoist priests will only save Yang Qingyin, but they won't even care about Mu Xingqiu, let alone those spirit demons, so they allow us to interact with the spirit monsters." The demons join together and are destroyed together.”

Xin Youtao's guess may be correct. In short, no one has found any trace of the Taoist priest. However, they encountered two more villages at night. The monsters inside were all killed before they had time to escape. The techniques were clean and neat, leaving only a few elements. The traces of spells indicate that the incident happened not long ago.

The Taoist priests really didn't want to stop the demonic invasion and the Taoist priests threw themselves into the trap.

Mu Xingqiu sped up. The Taoist priests from all major sects should have arrived at the spirit demon long ago. It depends on whether Zuo Liuying can block them and for how long. As for what to do after they get there, Mu Xingqiu I only have a rough idea. The Frost Soul Sword, Meng Yuanhou's soul, and Demon Lord Zhengfa may all be used. Moreover, the Dragon Demon is a smart man, so he may have left something for him.

But including Mu Xingqiu, the biggest hope in everyone's heart is Zuo Liuying. He reacted so quickly, obviously he knew about the soul. Maybe he had a trick to take the soul from the hands of the major Taoist sects.

The soul is not the only thing Mu Xingqiu is concerned about. Although he did not admit it to anyone, he wanted to see Yang Qingyin and wanted to know if she would be taken away by her parents.

Mu Xingqiu's wish is to see her safe and sound with his own eyes.

The land of monsters is shrouded in unclean air. They are attached to every tree and even every snowflake, which has a continuous impact on the Taoist priests. It took them two days to travel hundreds of miles.

Just after noon, Mu Xingqiu saw the black armor of the demon clan standing in the snow from a distance. His heart was immediately shocked, and he guessed that it was it that made the mysterious sound.

There were still no Taoist priests around, but there were some signs of fighting nearby, and many corpses of the monster clan were lying on the snow. A rough count is thousands of them.

"The Taoist school cleaned up really well, saving us a lot of trouble." Xin Youtao pretended to be relaxed. In fact, the closer he got to the destination, the more nervous he became. "When they attack us, it would be best if they could be as clean as this."

No one laughed. Everyone was as nervous as he was. Two days ago, they only saw magic but no Taoist priests in the chase. This time, they might have to fight face to face with the disciples of the Taoist school. It was impossible to ignore it.

The outline of the camp gradually became clear. The several-foot-high snow wall was in tatters, as if it had been attacked. There was no figure inside.

"Is everything over?" Xiao Qingtao asked doubtfully, "We are late, mother..."

"No, no, that armor must be a relic of the demon clan. It is still there, which means that the decisive battle has not started yet." Xin Youtao said.

Half an hour later, everyone entered the camp without encountering any obstacles, but still did not see any figures. The snow houses were intact, and there was nothing inside.

"What's going on? What happened here? So many demons died outside, but there is nothing inside." Xin Youtao couldn't guess it either.

The Taoists had already summoned various magical instruments, but they could not find anything.

"The interference is too serious." A female disciple of the Lantern and Candle Department looked at the oil lamp and candle in front of her angrily. The flames jumped wildly and never stopped for a moment, which could not indicate the enemy's situation at all.

The same was true for other magical instruments. The copper bells rang randomly and the copper mirrors flickered, all of which lost their effectiveness.

Everyone's eyes quickly focused on the tall demon armor, "It's it that's causing trouble." Gan Zhiwei was the first to walk over, walked around the armor, and reached out to knock on the leg armor twice, "It's empty inside."

No danger was found for the time being, and the Taoists were relieved a little, and all approached the armor to take a closer look.

"They are all made of silver souls!"

"The spells on them are different from the Taoism."

"The demons are really tall? It's not obvious when I read the book."

"Did he call himself a general and ask the slaves to come and pay homage? It's just an empty shell, it shouldn't have this ability, right?"

"There must have been a demon body inside, but it was taken away."

Mu Xingqiu flew around the entire camp three times, using different magic tools, and even used the Frost Soul Sword to check the souls around, but found nothing. The dead demons outside the camp left many living souls within seven days, but there was nothing inside the camp, indicating that there was no fierce battle here.

But where did the people go? Even if the demon body was taken away, the demon armor was not an ordinary thing and should not be left there.

Xiaohao was particularly curious about the demon armor. He flew around it several times, and finally stood on its shoulder, tapped the helmet gently, and even stuck to it to listen, "Hey, I seem to hear something..."

"Someone is coming." Gan Zhiquan has been vigilant and was the first to discover the visitor outside.

It was a female Taoist priest.

Mu Xingqiu went to meet her immediately and recognized that it was Yang Qingyin's mother.

The female Taoist priest did not enter the camp, but stopped far away and said to Mu Xingqiu: "You are here."

"I am here."

"Do you still want to help my daughter?"

"Yes."

"Then I don't need to say more. They are hiding underground and should let you in."

"Underground?"

"Well, I don't know why. Yang Qingyin would rather stay with the demons than talk to me. Some people say that she has turned into a demon, but I don't believe it." The female Taoist priest showed a trace of stubbornness on her face, "The Taoist tradition said that they will only wait until dark. You don't have much time."

The female Taoist priest turned and flew away. Mu Xingqiu didn't have the opportunity to ask about Zuo Liuying's whereabouts.
