Chapter 0715 There Is No Other Way

Hundreds of green eyes flickered in the cave, like strange creatures floating in the sea, hungry for a long time, greedily staring at the food that had accidentally entered.

Mu Xingqiu rushed out and immediately cast a spell to block the cave entrance. He had to save the demon slaves on the ground first.

The demon slaves who had just gained freedom had not yet recovered. Some hugged each other and cried, some giggled alone, some ran around, and some sat still... They were trapped in the cave for at least a few months, and at most decades. How could they not be excited to bathe in the real sunshine and breathe fresh air again?

The lifespan of demon slaves is more than 200 years, and there is still hope ahead of them.

Shen Hao's father and Baldy's mother had been guarding the cave entrance. As soon as Mu Xingqiu landed, the two of them went to meet him, each pulling an arm, vying to ask about their son's situation. Other demon slaves also slowly gathered around the young Taoist priest.

Shen Hao was not bad. Baldy's condition was very unique. Mu Xingqiu had to make up a story to let Baldy enter Pangshan with the boy from Yelin Town, practice together, and grow up together... He had never told so many lies, and he didn't use any illusions, but Baldy's mother couldn't get enough of it, and she would ask about even the smallest things.

Mr. Shen was even more unwilling to be humble. Every time Mu Xingqiu finished talking about Baldy, he had to talk about Shen Hao. When he heard that his son had become a general of the Demon Slayer Society, Mr. Shen burst into tears. In fact, he didn't understand what a general of the Demon Slayer Society meant. He only knew that his son was still alive and well.

"I also saw Shen Hao's brother, he's on the island over there..."

Mr. Shen laughed out loud, "Haha, the Shen family is still there! Haha, the Shen family is still there! Xiaoqiu, thanks to you for snatching the bride, it's a good job. If it weren't for you, Ershuan wouldn't have escaped, let alone become a magic general. Haha, it's a good job. What about Fangfang? Did you get married?"

Mu Xingqiu shook his head, unable to make up a story about this matter, and hurriedly said: "I will take everyone to the opposite land first, and then take the others over."

"What about the people in the cave?" asked the bald man's mother.

"They are hopeless. Didn't the officials say that the fire on the island is getting weaker and weaker, and it is getting harder and harder to suppress the demons? Master Shen was in a good mood and was very happy when he talked about the tragedy.

Mu Xingqiu asked more than a hundred demon slaves to stand together, and then cast a spell to take them across the strait.

Seeing the sea water surging under their feet, the demon slaves were amazed and terrified. They all held each other and got as close to Mu Xingqiu as possible, especially the dozen people from Yelin Town, who reached out to grab Mu Xingqiu's arms and clothes and stared at him endlessly.

"Do all Taoist priests have this ability? Can Ershuan do it?" Master Shen was not familiar with his son's full name, and he kept calling him by his nickname.

"What about Baldy? He has been naughty since he was a child and doesn't like to study. Can he keep up as a Taoist priest?" Baldy's mother talked about her son's shortcomings, but her heart was full of expectations.

"This is a simple spell, and both of them can do it. "Mu Xingqiu no longer thought about how to make up a lie after leaving Zhibubang. These people have suffered for more than ten years and are entitled to enjoy a little happiness, even if it is a short-lived happiness.

So none of the ten young men in Yelin Town died. All of them successfully became Pangshan Taoist priests and created a career. When talking about Daliang's current wealth, the people in Yelin Town shouted with envy and admiration. The town was not big to begin with, and almost every family was related to each other, so everyone's achievements were also the pride of everyone.

Even those demon slaves who didn't know Daliang had shining eyes. Most of them were humans, and only a few were monsters. They missed the secular life very much and were more interested in Daliang's history of making a fortune than Taoist priests.

"It's a pity that Daliang's father..." Master Shen laughed several times, "Yelin Town is really a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery. Both the Shen and Mu families have prospered. Haha, good. "

After reaching the other side, Mu Xingqiu placed the demon slaves on a high ground, keeping a distance from the palace, and then cast a layer of illusion, telling them not to leave. He could still feel the gaze on his back even though he flew far away.

He had to meet up with Yi Shijun first, then pick up the demon slaves and people on the big island, and finally rescue the Dinghuo demon slaves in the cave. There were also people from Yelin Town there. He must not tell Daliang one day that he had the opportunity to rescue Daliang's father, but gave up for various reasons.

The illusion of Zhibubang completely collapsed. The illusion was not pure nothingness. Ministers, soldiers, families, houses, flowers, trees, etc. , all have prototypes, either rough statues, or a stick, a stone, and even some real humans and monsters. They live in the illusion and are also part of the illusion. When the illusion decays, they also become wood and stone. When the illusion completely disappears, they do not wake up.

Yi Shijun transformed into an old man and stood next to the golem. Under his feet were a mess of ice mirror fragments. He looked at the ocean in the south. The waves were still surging to the shore. The scale was not large, but it was in sharp contrast to the calmness of the northern ocean.

"We are trapped here and can never get out." Yi Shijun said without looking back.

Mu Xingqiu fell to the ground, "Have you tried?"

"From the time I became the demon of all souls to now, it has actually been only two thousand and one hundred years, less than three thousand years." Yi Shijun answered irrelevantly.

Mu Xingqiu glanced at the Far Wilderness Peninsula in the west and found that there was no obvious abnormality there, so he asked: "What have you investigated?"

However, Mr. Yishi seemed not to have heard anything and only talked about his past, "Everything started from a piece of dragon meat. Unfortunately, there are no thrills or twists and turns here. I was able to eat this piece of meat only by chance. I still don’t understand how that piece of dragon meat has survived to this day. It is dragon meat, and after eating so much meat, I am very sure of it.”

Mu Xingqiu's Third Eye pierced the waves of the South China Sea and passed through the powerful restriction. For a moment, he felt that he saw the narrow island on the edge of the restriction, and even saw the figure of Yang Qingyin, but the picture only lasted for a moment. , the waves on the sea suddenly rose, like a row of slowly rising giants, and then took great strides to rush towards the coast.

"Dragon meat gave me the ability to swallow souls and identify the marks of my ancestors. Ah, for a whole thousand years, I happily ate meat and swallowed souls, collecting countless memories. Memory is my pasture. I should keep eating it." I don’t want to participate in any fights, and I don’t care about any right or wrong. But I am too curious, and the unknown always attracts me. The Taoism is too strict, so I don’t dare to get close, so I approach Zhibu Bang step by step.”

Mu Xingqiu once again looked at the remote island to the west and found a group of islanders coming in a few flat-bottomed boats. The sea there was extremely calm and no help was needed. The boats were real and did not disappear with the illusion. .

"Here, I spied on the secret of the ancient gods, and now I have an additional task. However, this task requires a powerful Taoist priest. I dare not provoke the Taoists, so I have to do other small things first to spread the ancient gods' religion. , collect demon weapons and monsters, and cultivate more great demons..."

Mr. Yishi held up the charred tree root in his hand, looked at it and sighed deeply, "It took more than a thousand years, and just when I was about to succeed, I realized that my mission was actually part of the illusion."

"Huh?" Mu Xingqiu finally became interested after hearing this.

Lord Yishi handed the charred tree root to Mu Xingqiu, "Look, this is the Fire Tree King. It is also the source of power for the three ancestors of Taoism, and it is also the most important magical weapon in Zhiyu Bang's illusion. He told me that within ten years, the god The tree will be completely burned, and you, Mu Xingqiu, will be the last person to add wood to the fire."

"Don't you want me to put out the fire?" Mu Xingqiu held up the black bark in his hand. The twigs on it had grown to five or six inches long and had produced the third and fourth leaves.

"The end is the beginning, and extinguishing the fire is the starting of the fire." Mr. Yishi sneered, "How could a sacred tree ask a demon for help? Haha, I am so arrogant. You were right at the beginning, there is no god at all. , the tree only provides power, and the different uses of power differentiate the demons and Taoism, but the tree can also take back power, which makes the Tao demons nervous. "

"More than 130,000 years ago, during the decisive battle between the Taoist demons, the tree withdrew the seeds of the demons. Seeing this, the third Taoist ancestor must have been deeply frightened. He was afraid that one day the Taoist fire would also be withdrawn, so he tried to burn the sacred tree to death. The Taoist fire on the island has blessed a lot of spells, but after burning for hundreds of thousands of years, the sacred tree still survives, and the Taoists have to ask the demon species for help. "

"Ask the devil for help?" Mu Xingqiu was confused.

Mr. Yishi pointed to the tall demon statue next to him, "I have read the information inside. It is no accident that a large number of demon priests appeared in Wangshan. In order to communicate with the demon species, the founder Fang Xunmo had to temporarily release the demon-suppressing bell, causing the demons to The seeds gushed out and attacked many Taoist priests."

The demon clan had spent tens of thousands of years trying to destroy the sacred tree. Just when they came up with a solution but had not yet implemented it, a Tao-demon war broke out. Mu Xingqiu read this record in the black bark, "Fang Xun Mo succeeded?"

"Of course, the demon species hates the sacred tree even more than Dao Tong, and both Taoist and demon species want to have a real decisive battle without being affected by the sacred tree, relying only on their own strength, so Dao Tong retreats to give the demon species time to rebuild his body. In exchange for the help of the demon species - this demon statue."

"What's hidden inside the golem?"

"A complete demon seed, coupled with the tree-destroying method that has been injected into it, is not enough. A Taoist priest has to activate the magic to rekindle the Tao fire that is thousands of times more powerful. Within ten years, It can destroy the sacred tree. Haha, there is a reason why the demons did not kill the third ancestor of Taoism. They had discovered the use of Taoism long ago, but they did not expect that it would take hundreds of thousands of years to use it. "

"I don't want to put out the fire, nor do I want to start the fire. I just want to get everyone out of the stop state."

"Did you know? The person who entered Zhibu State should have been the Taoist priest Zuo Liuying, not you." Mr. Yishi sighed again, "I really can't see through him. Zuo Liuying knows nothing about it. Did he give up his position to you by mistake, or did he have a premeditated plan to push you here step by step? "

Mu Xingqiu had long stopped guessing Zuo Liuying's thoughts, but at this moment he thought about what Zuo Liuying had specifically said, "At a certain point, the orthodox will try their best to stop you, which proves that the direction you are taking may be It’s correct. If it’s smooth, you should reflect on it.”

So far, except for the stronger waves, Mu Xingqiu has not felt any direct resistance from the orthodoxy.

"Why do I have to follow the plan of Taoism and the demon clan?" Mu Xingqiu looked towards the seaside pier. The first batch of demon slaves crossing the sea by boat had already landed. They also saw Mu Xingqiu at the top. She waved to him with great joy.

"You have no other choice." Mr. Yishi can no longer see hope, "If you follow the path of destroying the tree, you can have ten years of illusion. If you go against this path - no, there is no other way. "
