Chapter 0579 The Taoist in Crystal Eyes

People who accepted the method of re-annihilation for the second time would not wake up until a few days later. Mu Xingqiu found the traitor and dealt with it, but the situation did not improve much.

Noon has passed, and before dark, the poisonous fog will fill the entire Ice City and Wolf Plains, and then the huge hidden dragon will wake up. No matter how powerful this ancient beast is, it is not a group of Taoist priests and monsters who are difficult to cast spells. The clan can handle it.

Zuo Liuying's whereabouts are still unknown, and it is impossible for Meng Xu to know too much inside information. She should not be the only one in the entire team who is under the control of Lord Yishi.

"I need a safe place to cast spells." Mu Xingqiu said.

"Follow me." Pei Zihan walked in front, Mu Xingqiu and Bald Man followed behind, leaving Meng Xu to stay where he was.

There are ruins everywhere in Ice City, and the bricks and tiles made of ashes are still white even if they have been burned by demonic fire.

Pei Zihan was familiar with the path, but it was a bit difficult to walk. From time to time, he had to hold his knees to catch his breath. "Everyone doesn't have much confidence in facing Bingkui, so they don't pay much attention to rebuilding the ice city."

The Bingkui will be killed within a few months, and the Ice City may be eradicated by then. No one is willing to rebuild a meaningless city under such circumstances.

"Then don't worry, wait until you defeat Bing Kui."

"Hey, you're the only one who dares to say such things." There was a hint of sarcasm in Pei Zihan's voice, "Do you have any idea?"

"not yet."

Pei Zihan didn't ask any further. He came to a collapsed house, pushed aside the wood and rubble, opened a door on the ground, and took the lead into the hole.

The hole was not deep, and it soon ended in a small room with some food piled in the corner. It was filled with the smell of wet soil and slight rot, and it looked like a storage room.

"There are many places like this in Ice City, and there are even more hidden ones, but I only know this one."

"It's nice here."

"I'll wait for you outside." Pei Zihan bent down and walked up the steps, walking heavily as if he was dragging a bag weighing hundreds of kilograms.

The bald man immediately flew to the entrance and nodded to Mu Xingqiu, indicating that he would never let anyone in.

Mu Diqiu sat on the ground, took out the crystal eye, and stared at it for a while. Meng Xu's crystal eyes obviously came from Yin Buchen. Mu Xingqiu was not surprised by this. Yin Buchen was the demon servant of Lord Yishi and did not dare to resist his will. However, his power was too weak to do things for his master. I can only pass on the demon elixir.

At the city gate before, Yin Buchen's fear was genuine.

But why was Meng Xu chosen? Mr. Yishi met her once and ate the snow-covered flowers that she had worked hard to dig out. After that, Meng Xu was fine. After returning to the camp, he told the whole story. It was because of her reminder that the Taoist priests were able to prepare for Mr. Yishi's sneak attack in advance. .

But Yishi Jun still believed that Meng Xu would betray him, and Mu Xingqiu didn't know whether to admire Yishi Jun's vision or sorcery.

The crystal eyes were the medium through which Lord Yishi communicated with Yin Buchen and Meng Xu. Mu Xingqiu was convinced of this. He also had several crystal eyes in his treasure bag, and he took them out and placed them in a row on the ground.

Ishi-kun is a soul demon, so you can only use illusions to deal with him.

There was not much poisonous mist in the underground storage room. Mu Xingqiu held the skull lantern in his hand and could cast spells normally. He cast the seventh-level Wuxu Illusion Technique on Meng Xu's crystal eye.

The crystal eyes shone like stars. Mu Xingqiu felt that his magic had caught something, but he didn't pull out anything. Instead, he fell into a dark hole. Not long after, his eyes suddenly lit up and he entered. In a room paved with demon bones, the demon eyes in the bones are emitting intense light.

This is the inside of the Crystal Eye. It is exactly the same as the room in Ishi-kun's deepest memory, except that the people standing in it are different.

There is actually a Taoist priest in the crystal eyes!

The Taoist priest is in his thirties, with a resolute square face that looks like a brick. Three long strands of beard hang down on his chest, like a small three-stranded fork. The hairpin on his bun is quite special. The head of the hairpin is in the shape of a flame. .

This is a Taoist priest from Mount Wandi.

Mu Xingqiu thought he could track the crows in his Niwan Palace through his crystal eyes, but he couldn't help but be startled when he saw the Taoist priest.

The crystal eyes did not grow on Meng Xu, so he could not feel what she saw and heard. Mu Xingqiu felt more confident and took three steps forward. He now looked like Meng Xu and had her voice.

"Mu Xingqiu is trapped in the Ice City. There is no one else around me." Mu Xingqiu briefly told the story. Pei Zihan was not in the story, and Meng Xu won in the end.

"You did a good job, but you don't need to come in and tell me specifically. When it gets dark, the poisonous mist turns into hidden dragon fire, and Mu Xingqiu's three fields are shattered, I will be able to escape from the prison. I will make my promise to you then. reward.”

Mu Xingqiu imitated Meng Xu's timid voice, "I know you will keep your word. I just want to confirm that the demon pill can give me the lifespan of a Taoist priest who swallows smoke, right?"

"I have lived for more than three thousand years, which is longer than the life span of a Taoist priest. Why don't you believe it?"

Mu Xingqiu let a smile appear on his face. He noticed that the Taoist priest frowned slightly. He knew that this was not the expression Meng Xu should have. He quickly put away his smile and said, "I want to know more about my hiding place."

This question is a bit risky. If the Taoist priest has told Meng Xu everything, Mu Xingqiu's question is an obvious loophole.

He guessed correctly. The Taoist priest did not tell Meng Xu the truth, "Don't worry, I can make the Taoist ignore me and cannot find me. Naturally, I can also keep you away from the pursuit of the Taoist and the demons. You will be very safe."

The first two questions were just tests. Mu Xingqiu asked in a worried tone: "Zuo Liuying will not come back, will he? With him around, the Taoists will gather together as a whole, which will be dangerous for me."

"You must believe me." The Taoist's tone became stern.

"Yes." Mu Xingqiu acted very terrified, took two steps back, and made a gesture of preparing to leave the crystal eye. In fact, he performed the seventh level of mind illusion.

The room in the crystal eye is also an illusion. Only illusion can be performed freely like a fish in water.

The Taoist was caught off guard. As soon as a trace of surprise appeared on his face, he was firmly grasped by Mu Xingqiu's illusion. He was just a single soul and could not possess all the abilities of Yi Shijun.

Mu Xingqiu entered the Taoist's memory.

This is really a Taoist from Wandi Mountain, the sixth level of Swallowing Smoke. His memory contains his life, but his name is missing.

He died in a great war between Taoists and demons 1,100 years ago. The scale of that war was quite large. The demon king at that time was stronger than Qi Wushang, but without the help of the demon species, he was defeated more miserably.

The Taoist died on the battlefield, but his soul was secretly taken away by Yi Shijun. He persisted for a full nine hundred years, but was finally persuaded to become part of the demon of all souls, which meant losing himself and treating himself as Yi Shijun.

Then he received or chose a task to perfect a series of magic with the knowledge of Taoism. In order not to be disturbed and influenced by other souls, he entered the illusion of the crystal eye and stayed there for more than two hundred years.

He also had a more important task, which was to do everything possible to save Yi Shijun, that is, himself, when necessary-once his soul died, all souls would be scattered, and he had to ensure the safety of the crow.

When Mu Xingqiu exited the crystal eye, the Taoist soul had not yet awakened, and he had already got most of the answers he wanted.

He looked at the row of crystal eyes in front of him and guessed some of the real situation: Yi Shijun in Niwan Palace and the demon statue was still trapped, Zuo Liuying's spell had not failed, and it was the Taoist soul in the crystal eye who planned the conspiracy and persuaded Meng Xu.

There are thirteen crystal eyes in total, and each of them contains at least one soul. This is Yi Shijun's secret room and also his lair.

Gathering all thirteen crystal eyes will lead to finding Yi Shijun, because these souls together are enough to cause the response of Yi Shijun's soul.

Most of the crystal eyes are in Mu Xingqiu's treasure bag, and they can't see anything, so they have no way of knowing that Yi Shijun was imprisoned, but Yin Buchen's two eyes can see everything. When he was crying at the feet of the golem, the Taoist soul probably figured out everything and made a complete plan.

There are two doubts that Mu Xingqiu didn't figure out:

How was Meng Xu chosen? Maybe it was related to the meeting when picking herbs, but Mu Xingqiu didn't dare to confirm it.

How did the wolf king Qi Yemang contact Yi Shijun? When he returned to Langyuan ten days ago, he had already obtained the method of awakening the latent dragon, indicating that Yi Shijun's self-rescue plan had already begun at that time.

In addition to Mu Xingqiu, there are two others who control the crystal eyes, one is Yin Buchen and the other is Long Mo. Mu Xingqiu temporarily assumed that the Dragon Demon would not harm him, so the key to everything was Yin Buchen.

The situation still did not improve much, but it was no longer as confusing as it was at the beginning.

Mu Xingqiu stood up, put away all the crystal eyes, and said to the bald man: "Let's go to Baiyue Mountain."

The bald man jumped up excitedly and flew out first.

Pei Zihan couldn't go to Baiyue Mountain with Mu Xingqiu. He had only one question: "How do you plan to deal with that female Taoist priest?"

"If you still have some strength, send her to this secret room and wait until I find out the whole truth."

"Do you know what your biggest problem is?" Pei Zihan's eye sockets were deep, but his eyes were very sharp. That was the expression he dared to show after he defected to the demon clan. "As a leader, you are not ruthless enough, which will make you suffer a great loss."

Mu Xingqiu smiled, "Maybe it's because I didn't want to be a leader at all, I just...some things have to be done."

Pei Zihan sighed lightly, like regret, and like praise, "I won't say this to a leader. Since you are not, then I ask you for one thing, no matter what, you must help me protect Xiao Qingtao. She is the only living person in Furong Mountain. I have made countless mistakes. If she dies, I will make a mistake to the end."

Mu Xingqiu nodded and flew into the sky with the bald man. He noticed that Pei Zihan began to call her "human" instead of "demon".

The poisonous fog was spreading, and the dark clouds were hanging down. Not long after noon, the Ice City and the Wolf Plain were already as dark as the night.

Mu Xingqiu held the skull lantern and flew quickly to Baiyue Mountain, hoping that everything was still in time, hoping to find Yin Buchen and his crystal eye smoothly.

More than half an hour later, Mu Xingqiu flew to Baiyue Mountain and saw groups of demon soldiers digging everywhere on the mountain from a distance. They had been fighting for a while, but they couldn't even find the entrance to the wolf cave.

On a mountain peak, several Taoists and demons were directing the actions of the crowd and the demon soldiers. Yang Qingyin was in the highest position, holding the Laojun magic palm in her hand.

The five fingers of the magic palm were open, and the darker the sky, the brighter it was, like a torch that never went out.

At this moment, Mu Xingqiu suddenly realized that the treasures that Yi Shijun "casually" threw away were not only the thirteen crystal eyes, and it was probably not just Yin Buchen who was controlled and wanted to save Yi Shijun wholeheartedly.
