Chapter 0659: Lure the Snake Out of Its Hole

Prince Tuo Tao led 3,000 cavalrymen into the land of monsters. Some died or fled, and less than 2,000 were left. At this time, they were standing outside the invisible ban set by the Taoists, and they were all stunned.

They had just moved the camp and the tents had not been erected yet, but they were fascinated by the strange scene in the Taoist camp.

Under their gaze, a solitary cedar shook off the snow on its body, sprouted branches, grew leaves, and bloomed, turning into an unknown beautiful plant. This was not the end. The greenness expanded outward with this tree as the center, slowly and steadily. Wherever it went, the ice and snow turned into soil, and all kinds of flowers, plants and trees emerged and grew rapidly.

The green land became larger and larger, except for the bonfire created by magic. Zuo Liuying was originally sitting on a stone, and the stone turned into a pile of green grass, but he was unmoved and still wrapped tightly in several layers of fur coat.

Among the crowd, only Xiaohao could see through the illusion with great effort, but she preferred the false scene, jumping on the grass, running around in the flowers, chasing the flying insects.

"Haha, this must be a spell of the mind-reading department. Mu Xingqiu can do this. I thought he could only throw lightning and take away memories."

"Brother Xiaoqiu is very capable." The bald man followed Xiaohao and boasted proudly.

Gao Fuwei was also stunned. He knew it was an illusion, but when the flowers and plants grew from his feet, he couldn't help but get out of the way, muttering: "What is the Taoist doing? I just conjured up a few butterflies in my memory... Awesome, awesome."

After Yin Buchen sent the clothes, he still stayed outside the restriction. At this time, he crawled on the ground again, making a whimpering sound similar to crying. It was just a simple illusion, but it also had a very obvious impact on him.

All the demons of Sheshen Country were attracted by the illusion. When the green land broke through the restriction and extended to their feet, all the demon soldiers retreated in panic, but they were unwilling to stay too far away.

Demon General Luo Yunqiao also retreated, his face was uncertain. He had only heard about the scene of Mu Xingqiu defeating thousands of enemies with a single thought, and he was somewhat skeptical. Now the illusion was clearly displayed in front of him, and he had to believe it. He could see that these illusions were harmless, but the people and magic that could create illusions must be extremely powerful.

The illusion did not expand too fast, but it disappeared very quickly. The green was still reflected in many eyes, and the white snow had reoccupied its territory.

Only a few eyes could see the last wall.

Mu Xingqiu and Yang Qingyin appeared at the feet of the lonely cedar, standing side by side. The demons of Sheshen Country outside the restriction suddenly knelt down one after another, as if they saw the appearance of gods. Luo Yunqiao could not stop them, nor did he dare to stop them. He had to kneel down himself, and the heavy armor on his body did not affect his legs at all.

Xiaohao walked up to Gao Fuwei and nodded solemnly, "You have some skills. If I make a connection with you, I will ask you for help."

"Hmm..." Gao Fuwei didn't listen to what Xiaohao said. He stared at Mu Yang and the others, thinking something was wrong.

"Rest, we'll set off at dawn." Mu Xingqiu gave the order.

It wasn't long before dawn, and the monsters didn't set up tents. They just found a place to sleep hastily. All they saw in their dreams were green land and flowers.

Yang Qingyin silently strengthened the restrictions around the camp to prevent curious eyes from outside, and at the same time to prevent ordinary monsters from intruding.

Yin Buchen jumped into the restrictions at the last moment, standing close to the edge, his eyes scanning around in fear. As long as there was a hint, even if the little monster Feifei glared, he would immediately run out of the restrictions. No one drove him away, and no one paid attention to him. Yin Buchen breathed a sigh of relief, his face showing joy, and he gradually approached the campfire.

Mu Xingqiu happened to walk to the campfire and was about to sit down. Yin Buchen quickly rolled up a pile of useless clothes and put them on the stone that had been placed there for a long time.

Mu Xingqiu stared at the burning five elements fire, his expression was as serious as a piece of ice, but his shadow on the snow was swinging wantonly.

Everyone had a hunch that something was wrong. Even Xiaohao didn't come up to ask about the situation of the bond. Finally, Zuo Liuying turned his head and said, "You haven't reinforced it yet?"

"What?"

"You have already caused the love calamity, which is a good start, but the love calamity will gradually decline and hide in the bottom of your heart again, so you have to keep this feeling and don't let it escape until you feel bored, tired, or even disgusted, and then you can remove it from your heart. This is what it means to cut off the bond and survive the calamity."

Mu Xingqiu certainly understood the process of cutting off the bond and surviving the calamity. This is the basic common sense taught by the Taoist tradition. He just didn't expect it to be so difficult when it really came to it.

The close contact between him and Yang Qingyin just now could not be considered a success, but his original purpose was achieved. He brought out the deepest emotional tribulation in his heart, which was the remembrance of Fangfang. Since Fangfang had passed away, only her soul remained in the Frost Soul Sword. This remembrance became the source of pain that could never be satisfied.

The first step to overcome the tribulation is to draw it out. Gao Fuwei said that this was "luring the snake out of the hole", which was indeed somewhat accurate. The second step was to consolidate this tribulation and retain the various emotions it brought for a long time until it could be completely cut off.

But Mu Xingqiu was unwilling to regard this remembrance as a "snake", and even more unwilling to regard it as a remembrance of love that would be cut off. He felt heartache and felt exhausted, but he was reluctant to throw it away. He carried the remembrance on his back, just like a defeated slave carrying a large bag of gold and silver. Even if his waist was broken and he could only crawl on the ground, he would not give up one or two of them.

Mu Xingqiu understood these principles, but it was too difficult to do, and there was another important reason why he was reluctant to take the next step of cutting off the relationship: Yang Qingyin seemed to have not yet lured out the love disaster.

Pain is the prerequisite for fate. Yang Qingyin is also controlled by love and is one step behind Mu Xingqiu.

"I'll wait a little longer." Mu Xingqiu said. He couldn't be like Pang Shan's former master Ning Qiwei, who only cared about himself.

Zuo Liuying did not persuade him. He was wearing several layers of fur coat and sitting near a pile of Five Elements Fire. He still looked very cold and refused to take off his straw hat, like a person who had just been rescued from icy water. The one in distress.

After the restriction was strengthened, Yang Qingyin also walked to the bonfire, "We can't wait any longer, you have to continue."

"But you..."

"Mu Xingqiu, sometimes good intentions lead to wrong things. You always want to go through the calamity with me. Why does this make me feel sad? How does it lead to love calamity? The more you act like this, the more... I like you."

Yang Qingyin did not have the gentle temperament that Gao Fuwei admired. She said what she said directly, regardless of whether there were other people around. "Your love disaster has no target, so it is easy to draw it out. My love disaster is all on you. The better you are, the deeper you will fall into. So, it will be good for both of us if you strengthen your relationship as soon as possible."

Mu Xingqiu had nothing to say, he had to go on step by step.

It is not easy to keep the painful moments of love in your heart. Mu Xingqiu has to recall the memories over and over again. He thinks that he will never be able to hate this memory, but he will eventually get tired and the relationship will end.

Mu Xingqiu stretched out his hand, and Yang Qingyin came over, held his hand, and quickly let go, as if reaching some kind of agreement, but in fact, she was quietly handing over the water in the sword washing pool.

In the stage of consolidating his love, it was difficult for Mu Xingqiu to even think about the details of the spell, let alone cast it directly. Yang Qingyin suddenly became his and everyone's protector.

Yang Qingyin calmly put away the water droplets, and suddenly showed a smile to Mu Xingqiu, "Okay, this imitation is completed. It's really troublesome. I hope that after cutting off the mortal fate, I will never have to form a spiritual fate again."

Mu Xingqiu also smiled. He was a Taoist priest after all. Although he missed Fangfang again, he would not show the pain on his face again.

Xiao Hao walked to Zuo Liuying, knelt down and asked, "Do you regard surviving tribulations as the most basic memory?"

Xiao Hao was very satisfied with the performance of Mu and Yang, but she was surprised that Zuo Liuying was the first to see that Mu Xingqiu had caused a love disaster.

"Well, this is a very important memory. I have to remember the pain of mortals so that I can move forward bravely during the third practice."

Xiao Hao nodded and expressed his understanding. This is indeed similar to cutting off fate to save tribulations. They both induce pain first, then remember the pain and experience the pain until they are completely free from it. "But mortals also have mortal happiness. In case you are addicted Where is it?"

"Then I will fail completely. You seem to know me very well. I only remember your name, but not what you have done."

"We used to be very familiar, so familiar that... we are almost confused. The land of monsters is boring. From now on, I will take you to Jiangnan. Only there can you understand what real mortals are. You have to experience their pain and happiness. ”

Zuo Liuying nodded, turned his eyes to the bonfire, and didn't want to talk anymore.

Yang Qingyin had nothing to do, so she strengthened the restrictions again, and quietly tried the water in the sword washing pool, and felt that it helped a lot.

She saw Gao Fuwei standing there like a wooden man, and recalled the memory he provided, "What happened to you and Miss Song in the end?"

"Ah? Miss Song...oh, you mean her." Gao Fuwei woke up from a dream, "She married an official, gave birth to two children, and then died of illness at the age of thirty-one. . We are mortals, and our destiny is unpredictable, so we are born with unique abilities. Emotions come and go easily, and we don’t need to make special efforts to... cut off the fate."

Gao Fuwei laughed twice, and that memory seemed to have no impact on him.

Yang Qingyin only wanted to know the ending, but it was better to know nothing. She turned around and was about to walk away, but Gao Fuwei suddenly became angry.

This burst of anger came quite suddenly, without any warning beforehand. Even Gao Fuwei himself didn't know what was going on, but he just wanted to get angry and had no control at all. If he didn't speak out what was in his heart, he felt that he Will be suffocated to death.

"Why?" he shouted. All eyes turned around, especially Yang Qingyin, who looked confused and a little angry.

"Aren't Taoist priests human beings? They have to cut off all seven emotions and six desires to be considered powerful? Look at you, love has just begun and you are rushing to cut it off. You, you are simply... stupid and unreasonable . Everything about consolidating pain and eliminating fate is all lies!”

"Holy shit, I'm going to be so angry. Mu Xingqiu, do you know that when a person loves you deeply, you will be willing to sacrifice everything? King Ling... King Ling didn't even think about going through this calamity for you."
