Chapter 0704 Demon Slave Village
The beads exploded in the air, and the power that had been suppressed for a long time was released instantly. The blood mist appeared and dispersed, like an illusion that the eyes had no time to capture.
But the sound was real, and so loud that dozens of pairs of ears nearby suddenly couldn't hear anything. The soldiers all threw away their weapons, covered their ears with their hands, and looked at the Taoist priest in horror. After a while, A high-pitched buzzing sound is heard that goes from weak to strong.
The force of the explosion was greater than Mu Xingqiu expected. He reached out and rubbed the horse's head to calm its emotions, and then looked at the demon slave who called himself Lei Jing.
Lei Jing was not affected, but his face was a little surprised, "No one can cast spells on the island, how did you do it?" His voice did not rise.
Strictly speaking, this was not casting a spell at all. Mu Xingqiu just canceled a spell and released an unfinished explosion.
"This is a coincidence. I can only cast the spell this time." Mu Xingqiu jumped from his horse to the ground and walked to Lei Jing, "The person who always talks about Yelin Town to you..."
Lei Jing waved his hand, then pointed to the sea, "It seems that the Fire Tree King really dislikes you."
The sea water was boiling, and after a while, the steam became thicker and thicker. With the third eye, I could barely see the other shore.
"The steam is poisonous, and only the Fire Tree King can control them." Lei Jing lifted the corner of his clothes, revealing numerous scars on his stomach, which looked like cracked earth, and a bit like the skin of a beast monster.
"Fire King Yin Yun!" The fat Minister Xijing crawled out from under the horse. He and the soldiers had just escaped the impact of the explosion, and his voice was still louder at this time. "Taoist, you can't escape. The Fire Tree King will have already You see through it!”
"You can't escape either." Mu Xingqiu pointed at the steam.
"As long as I kill you..." Minister Xijing panted. He already understood that it would be more difficult to kill this unpopular Taoist priest. It was more difficult than expected. "Kill Mu Xingqiu, and then the Fire Tree King will take over." Qi Lie King Yin Yun, the first one to take action will be rewarded, and the one who delivers the fatal blow will be heavily rewarded!"
There were some onlookers nearby, and they slowly gathered around. There were humans and demons. They looked like farmers. Although their clothes were not gorgeous, they were much cleaner than the demon slaves.
More than fifty soldiers picked up their black wood weapons and followed Minister Xijing back step by step.
Mu Xingqiu knew that the palace on the other side could see the situation here, so he said loudly to the steam on the sea: "King Huoshu, I know who you want to protect, but that person has been occupied by the soul of the Fu Lu Master, and there is only one person left." It's just an empty shell. When you wake up, come to me in person."
Mu Xingqiu glanced at the soldiers and people around him. Spells were restricted on the island, but his physique was not affected. He was strong enough to protect himself, "Don't rush to take action, the Fire Tree King will change his mind soon."
Minister Xijing hid behind the soldiers, "Don't listen to the nonsense of the Taoist priests. If you are loyal to King Huoshu, go and kill him. This is the obligation of the subjects of Zhibu State. Don't be afraid. He only has the trick he just did and has no other abilities."
The people had already surpassed the soldiers, and there were more than a hundred people in total. Seven or eight tall men walked in the front, holding sticks, iron forks and other objects in their hands.
Mu Xingqiu didn't want to hurt anyone, but he felt that he had to show his true ability.
Lei Jing suddenly spoke. He was a demon slave. He had a low status in Zhibu State, but he had great influence on the people. He spoke in the local language. The people stopped and listened. Minister Xijing retorted angrily. The two argued for a while. Lei Jing Obviously gaining the upper hand, the surrounding people put down their sticks and forks.
"It's okay. If you want to find someone from Yelin Town, just come with me." Lei Jing said.
"I'll go with you." Mu Xingqiu said, looking at Minister Xijing.
Minister Xijing turned red with anger because the people refused to obey orders. When he saw Mu Xingqiu's eyes, he was startled again and retreated to the edge of the dock. "Don't even think about kidnapping me. I, I would rather jump."
Mu Xingqiu was sure that Minister Xijing would never jump into the sea, but he did not want to kidnap him. "The Fire Tree King doesn't care about your life or death at all, and he will change his mind before dark."
Minister Xijing watched helplessly as Mu Xingqiu and Lei Jing walked away, then glanced at the steam on the sea, and angrily issued a series of orders to the soldiers. He knew that unless the Taoist priests were killed, the Fire Tree King would not accept them. King Qi Lie let him cross the sea.
"There are more than three hundred soldiers on the island, and there are a large number of people who are willing to be loyal to the Fire Tree King. The fat man underestimated the enemy for a moment, and will soon mobilize more troops to hunt you down. Lei Jing said as he walked, he is not tall, but his steps are fast. It's very big, with a windy and fiery momentum.
Mu Xingqiu hummed indifferently, "Were you born on the island?"
Lei Jing nodded, "So I can speak the language of Zhibu State. It is said that this is the elegant language of ancient humans, but I don't think it has any advantages at all except that it is difficult to pronounce."
"Do you also have a demon seed in your body?" Mu Xingqiu had many doubts and had to ask clearly.
"It should be so. I was engraved with a demon-suppressing talisman when I was born." Lei Jing said calmly, not caring about the demon species, but did not show the demon-suppressing talisman. "I will take you to see Mr. Tie first."
"He is our master. It is from him that we learned about the ancient gods and the prophecies about Taoist priests."
Mu Xingqiu immediately thought of Mr. Yishi.
The two walked through a farmland and came to a village surrounded by earth walls. Four soldiers stood at the gate, looking at the dock in confusion. They heard the loud noise just now and saw the steam on the sea. At this time, another It was even more surprising to see Lei Jing return to the village with a stranger, but the soldiers escorting him were nowhere to be seen.
"Zhang Asan..."
Lei Jing ignored him and went straight into the village. The soldiers did not dare to stop him.
The people in the village also walked out of the dilapidated thatched cottages. Lei Jing said to them: "Everyone, come over. The prophecy is about to come true. I will bring a Taoist priest!"
The men, women, and children in the village were all similar to Lei Jing. They had dark skin, thin bodies, and their clothes barely covered their bodies. They all looked at Mu Xingqiu with surprised eyes. Some ran to summon other villagers, while others retreated to their homes in panic and closed the door tightly. , never come out again.
"Not everyone can accept the Ancient God, but when you come, everything will change." Lei Jing couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart and took bigger steps.
Mu Xingqiu found that things were a bit deviated from his expectations, "I know very little about the Ancient God, and I didn't come here for it. There are many people in Yelin Town, and they should have been sent to Zhibo State more than ten years ago... "
"Not everyone with demons will be sent here. Those who are sent must forget the past. This is the rule."
"But you said there is someone who always mentions Yelin Town."
"Well, you'll be able to meet this person soon, but - please don't get your hopes up."
Lei Jing stopped in front of a thatched house in the corner of the village.
The thatched cottage is very simple, with only a green branch stuck on the door making it a bit special. A young man walked out of the room, looked at Mu Xingqiu warily, and said nothing.
"His name is Mu Xingqiu. He is a Taoist priest. I think Mr. Tie will be willing to meet him." Lei Jing said to the young man.
The man nodded and returned to the room. After a while, the young man came out supporting an old man.
The old man was also dark and thin. He was leaning on a brown wooden cane and had a slightly hunched back. It looked like he could no longer plant trees. It was a small miracle that Minister Xijing allowed him to survive.
Mu Xingqiu did not sense Lord Yishi's temperament from this old man.
"Ah, are you really a Taoist priest?" Mr. Tie stretched out his other hand and groped in the air. His eyes were already blind.
Mu Xingqiu took a step forward and said, "I used to be a Pangshan Taoist priest, but I have withdrawn from the Taoist tradition, so I am no longer a Taoist priest."
"He used magic to create an explosion at the dock. Minister Xijing and fifty soldiers were too frightened to come forward." Lei Jing immediately added.
Mu Xingqiu did not argue that it was not a real spell.
Mr. Tie touched Mu Xingqiu's arm, squeezed it twice, and retracted his arm, "You are right, you are not a Taoist priest. Taoist priests should not be so weak."
In Daotong, Mu Xingqiu has become one of the few strong people with his eighth-level illusion, but he still did not defend himself. Instead, he was shocked and unconvinced, but when he saw Mr. Tie's expression, he shut his mouth.
"I came here for Yelin Town, which is a small town in Xijie Kingdom. It was attacked by demons more than ten years ago. The people in the town should have been sent here."
"Yelin Town, is it the Yelin Town that the big guy often talks about?" Mr. Tie asked.
"I think so, so I brought him back." Lei Jing coughed, "The Fire Tree King released the Lie King Yin Yun, and the Western Minister is gathering soldiers. They want to kill Mu Xingqiu."
The young man supporting Mr. Tie said dissatisfiedly: "Lei Jing, you are too reckless. You actually brought such a person back. Didn't you think about how much trouble this would bring? Minister Xijing had long wanted to get rid of Mr. Tie, but Lack of an excuse..."
"Ah, don't worry about my life or death anymore. I have lived long enough. It really shouldn't be allowed for everyone to tie their lives to me." Mr. Tie looked in Mu Xingqiu's direction with cloudy eyes, "Tell me Me, what’s going on outside?”
"The demons will break out of the void and return to the world within ten years. A group of demon priests have already occupied Wangshan Mountain and are using Ice King to sweep across the entire demon land. Ice and snow will soon spread to the human world and the half-demon country. , Zhibu State cannot be alone."
Dozens of villagers gathered around, mostly young people, and no one understood what Mu Xingqiu was saying.
Mr. Tie showed a smile, as if he knew more than others, "Interesting, no wonder I feel the demon species in my body is a little restless. You were once a Taoist priest in Pangshan, will you become a Taoist priest again?"
Mu Xingqiu shook his head, "I will never return to Taoism, but the Taoism fire is still burning in my body. One thing has never changed for me: the Taoism fire never goes out."
"The fire is not extinguished." Mr. Tie's smile disappeared. "Since the fire is not extinguished, how can we be saved?"
Mu Xingqiu was about to ask clearly, but Mr. Tie had already turned around and went back to the thatched cottage with the help of the young man.
"Big man, come here, there is someone who remembers Yelin Town like you do." Lei Jing waved to the onlookers.
Mu Xingqiu turned around and saw a tall villager walking out with a smile. His face was dirty, and there was a large scar obviously caused by Lie Wang's mist. There were two lines of snot dripping from his lips, "Haha, Yelin Town, haha, my wife ran away. "
