Chapter 0654: Farewell Again
Zuo Liuying stared at himself in the mirror for a while, and said to the curious people: "I have to remember what I look like."
The most basic memory he regained did not include his own appearance.
Xin Youtao and other Taoists found that the ban had been broken, and they all flew over. Xiaohao stood in the front of the crowd and asked with a smile: "Do you remember who I am?"
"Duan Caihao."
Zuo Liuying immediately said her name. Without waiting for Xiaohao to express his happiness, Zuo Liuying glanced over and reported a series of names: "Mu Xingqiu, Mu Songxuan, Yang Qingyin, Tie Qilin, Feifei."
Xiaohao had nothing to be proud of, but Xin Youtao was a little dissatisfied, "Don't you recognize me and Pei Shurong? And the Gan brothers and these Taoists?"
Zuo Liuying didn't say anything, and Mu Xingqiu explained on his behalf, "Zuo Liuying is going to Sheshen Country with me, so he only remembers the names of a few people accompanying him."
Since the others are going their separate ways, there is no need to remember them in their hearts.
"It's just a few names. "Xin Youtao muttered. He didn't really care about this matter. He just felt sad because he was reminded of the parting.
Mu Xingqiu saw that most of the Taoists had come and said loudly: "There is no need to defend Zhanmo Mountain, but the previous battle was not meaningless. It proved one thing: no enemy is invincible."
The Taoists listened quietly. Mu Xingqiu looked up at the sky. It should be spring now, and the Land of Monsters was still occupied by severe cold. "Please work hard to expand the team and unite all forces. If you have any letters, send them to Xin Youtao in the Imperial Capital. We will meet again at the old place of Laozu Peak in five years."
Mu Xingqiu pinched the Dao Fire Art with his right hand, and the Taoists also made the same gesture and said in unison: "The Dao Fire will not be extinguished."
The future is unpredictable. Apart from the five-year period, Mu Xingqiu could not give more information.
Gan Zhiquan, who was going to stay in the Land of Monsters to assist the monsters, stepped forward and said, "I just talked to the Holy Mother of Ten Thousand Sons. She wants to see you.
Mu Xingqiu nodded and said to Yang Qingyin, "Please protect Zuo Liuying."
Yang Qingyin hummed softly, her expression still very cold.
The Holy Mother of Ten Thousand Sons and her descendants chose a high ground to camp, separated from other monsters. When Mu Xingqiu and Gan Zhiquan came, the monsters surrounding the Holy Mother made way for a narrow passage, barely allowing the two to walk side by side.
The Holy Mother of Ten Thousand Sons stood at the highest point, swaying like a reed in the wind, appearing taller, with a smile on her face, "Look, Zhanmo Mountain is also destroyed."
"It's more complete than Bingcheng." Mu Xingqiu stopped a few dozen steps away, so he didn't have to raise his head too high. Out of courtesy, he and Gan Zhiquan didn't fly up.
"I heard you are going to Sheshen Country." The Holy Mother of Ten Thousand Sons didn't make any special gestures, and all the descendants of the Holy Mother silently retreated and made way for a large area, "I hope you can stay there for a while, Sheshen Country is a large place, and it will take several destructions to be clean."
Mu Xingqiu smiled.
The Holy Mother of Ten Thousand Children continued, "It's rare that you trust me so much, so I'll tell you a few truths: I am willing to lead all the monsters, but I may not be willing to fight with you in the future. It depends on how strong you are at that time. Finally, I am very reluctant to unite with humans. You are a group of special Taoists. You cannot represent the Taoist tradition, let alone all humans. I will not forget the war of more than 100,000 years just because I trust you."
The Holy Mother of Ten Thousand Children's truth is indeed rare. Not only is it sharp, but it is also very organized, which is very different from her usual weirdness. Mu Xingqiu feels that he has made the right choice. "You don't have to fight because of me or a Taoist. You will fight because you have to."
"Haha, maybe. Thank you for leaving some Taoists for me. Although I don't like them very much and think they may be here to monitor me, Taoists are always useful in the current situation."
The Holy Mother of Ten Thousand Children really "tells the truth". Mu Xingqiu and Gan Zhiquan did not refute, but just listened.
"Anyway, I finally left Bingcheng and didn't have to die there. In that case, let's do something. Daozun wants to go west, so I will lead the monsters to the east and recruit the tribes there. Unless necessary, I will not go to war with Bingkui.
"Very good, I hope to hear from you all the time."
"Each other." Wanzi Shengmu bowed slightly, "Please tell Zuo Liuying not to be fascinated by herself, it's a quagmire."
Mu Xingqiu was very surprised. Zuo Liuying asked for a mirror to check her appearance not long ago. Except for Feifei, there were no other monsters present. Wanzi Shengmu actually knew something.
She is a strange monster, even stranger than Yishijun.
Yin Buthen jumped out of a ruin halfway, followed Mu Xingqiu in small steps, and said nothing. Mu Xingqiu suddenly stopped and turned to look at him. Yin Buthen's wet eyes showed a wet smile, "Daozun is going to Sheshen Country?"
"Yeah."
"What can I do for Daozun? "
"You can go back to the South China Sea and find a way to gather the sea monsters."
"The Dao Zun actually values me so much and gives me such an important task!" Yin Buchen almost cried, but his eyes were like two deep wells that could hold as much water as possible, and his tears refused to flow out. "But I know myself well. The Iron Dragon Clan was completely destroyed. My status and strength are not enough to convince the people. The sea monsters will not listen to me."
Mu Xingqiu turned around and continued to move forward, "Then I have nothing to ask for."
Yin Buchen trotted to catch up, "Let me go to Sheshen Country with Dao Zun. I know many Sheshen Country nobles and can help Dao Zun to make connections."
"No need. I'm not going to negotiate with Sheshen Nation. I just want to tell them the truth. You can go find Yishijun, or find the whereabouts of the golem. If you have any news, let me know."
"Ah?" Yin Buchen stayed where he was, looking at Mu Xingqiu's back, not sure whether this sentence was an order that could not be violated or a suggestion that could be discussed.
Once the Taoists made a decision, they acted decisively. Gan Zhiwei had already left with some Taoists. Xin Youtao and Xiao Qingtao went the same way as them, but they did not leave together. The two wanted to see Mu Xingqiu and others off.
"In fact, I should go to Sheshen Kingdom with you. The rules of the royal family are similar. Just look at the prince named Tuo Tao. I am good at dealing with them."
"Things have their priorities. The Shengfu Dynasty needs you more."
Xin Youtao understood this truth. It was not easy to persuade humans to unite with the demons. Even his own sister might not agree. "Five years, I thought five years was too short, but now it feels like half a lifetime..."
Xiaohao came over and pushed him, "Let's go, don't talk too much, it's getting dark. You two are both Taoists and men. Just keep anything in your heart."
Xin Youtao said goodbye with a bitter smile. Xiao Qingtao didn't have so many parting words. She looked at Yang Qingyin deeply, smiled at Mu Xingqiu, and flew into the air with Xin Youtao to catch up with Gan Zhiwei and others who set off earlier.
Mu Xingqiu looked at the people who stayed by his side.
Yang Qingyin always avoided his eyes, and this time was no exception. Her right arm was no longer dangerous after treatment, but it was not completely healed and was still tucked into her sleeve.
Zuo Liuying looked at no one, his straw hat drooped, covering most of his face. He was no different from an ordinary person now, but the expression on that half of his face was more like that of a high-level Taoist priest who was hiding his true self than before. However, he could not stand the coldness of the demon land with only the thin Taoist robe on his body, and was shivering slightly.
Xiaohao did not notice this, and always looked at Zuo Liuying, trying to attract his attention.
Baldy stopped at the top of the flea's head, staring at the bronze mirror in Zuo Liuying's hand. Like Xiaohao, he had no opinion on where to go.
Little demon Feifei sat on the flea's back, and until now he could not believe that he was chosen to go with the demon master.
Tiger Talisman Master Gao Fuwei stood listlessly on the side. He was confused by the new memories in his mind and could not figure out which side he should stand on.
This was Mu Xingqiu's team. Some people needed to be taken care of, some people needed to be guarded against, and the only ones who could really fight side by side with him were Yang Qingyin, and perhaps Baldy and Flea.
"Let's go." He said, still full of confidence in the future.
Zuo Liuying was pushed onto the back of the Qilin by Xiaohao. He was not used to his clumsiness. After thanking Xiaohao, he raised the bronze mirror to compare himself, as if he could never remember his appearance.
Yang Qingyin cast a spell to send everyone to the ground outside Zhanmo Mountain, and then landed and walked.
Back in the ice and snow, Zuo Liuying and Feifei seemed even colder. No one else had warm clothes. Only Gao Fuwei brought a thick fur coat, which Zuo Liuying put on. Feifei didn't dare to squeeze with him, so she turned her back to him and put the corner of her clothes on, then smiled at everyone, saying that she was not cold at all.
Not long after walking out, everyone found that Yin Buchen was following behind, not far away, and no one paid attention to him.
Tuo Tao, who lost his memory, was killed in the battle of Bingkui. In addition to Tuojiang, who died at the hands of the Taoist priest before, and two princes of Sheshen Kingdom died in the land of monsters, Mu Xingqiu felt that this trip to Sheshen Kingdom would not be too smooth.
Yang Qingyin winked at him, and Mu Xingqiu turned his head to see Zuo Liuying still looking in the mirror. The bald man was looking at the other side of the bronze mirror eagerly, trying to find an opportunity to ask Zuo Liuying to turn the mirror around, but he couldn't speak.
"Zuo Liuying, the Holy Mother of Ten Thousand Sons asked me to tell you, 'Don't be fascinated by yourself, it's a quagmire'."
Zuo Liuying didn't say a word, thought for a while, and handed the bronze mirror to the bald man. The bald man caught it with two strands of hair, and happily flew up from the flea's head, looking at himself in the mirror while flying.
"Why did he forget what he looked like? Why is he so concerned now?" Yang Qingyin asked in a low voice. She just realized that Zuo Liuying couldn't hear the slightest sound now.
"He wanted to be selfless from the beginning, but it seems that he didn't succeed." Mu Xingqiu stared at Yang Qingyin, "Have you thought about it?"
Yang Qingyin looked away, "Well, we have to get through the emotional tribulation anyway, so let's get married."
"From now on?"
"From now on."
Neither of them spoke, and walked forward silently, not knowing what it meant to "get married."
