Chapter 0756 The Taoist Priest Who Did Not Retire
The sound of waves came and went. In the small cabin, Tuo Yong gently tapped his temples twice to relieve the inexplicable pain in his head and expel the more inexplicable voice.
Tuo Yong was a descendant of the royal family of Sheshen Kingdom. His noble surname did not help him much. Unless he made outstanding military achievements, he would never have the opportunity to obtain a high position. The war between Sheshen Kingdom and Shengfu Dynasty was in full swing. It was the easiest place to make meritorious deeds. Therefore, he was not qualified to participate. He could only lead a small army to the desolate West Sea to perform a trivial task.
Until a mysterious voice appeared frequently in his mind, Tuo Yong began to think that this mission might not be simple.
"Bring the child in." In order to suppress the voice in his head, Tuo Yong gave orders louder than usual.
He had to solve this problem as soon as possible. If handled properly, it might bring an excellent opportunity. When he thought of returning to the court in glory to strike at the arrogance of those princes and grandsons, Tuo Yong's heart was pounding. But he also had to be careful, as a small mistake could ruin his great success.
Two demon soldiers led the way, and four sorcerers came in with the little captive.
Mu Dong'er was wrapped in a layer of light red film, with a skull demon head suspended on each shoulder. He was suppressed by powerful sorcery, without any freedom. His feet left the ground, floated into the cabin, and stopped opposite the half-demon general.
"Despicable." Mu Dong'er spit out these two words at Tuo Yong, and was very dissatisfied with his capture.
Tuo Yong raised the corner of his mouth and waved his hand to signal the demon soldiers and sorcerers to retreat.
The process of capturing this little guy was indeed not glorious.
Tuo Yong did some investigations before leading his army to attack, and understood the general situation on the Demon Island. He was a little afraid of the female Taoist priest who spit dan and the head called bald, but he didn't take the baby to heart. In the few rumors, Mu Dong'er was a naughty child who matured a little early. When he killed several sorcerers with a ball of strange fire on his head and blew up nearly half of the warship, all the demons including Tuo Yong were really shocked.
The surviving sorcerers worked together to escape with the wreckage. In that short period of less than an hour, Tuo Yong's heart was more broken than the warship. If this mission failed, he could only commit suicide and die for his country. Even so, he would become a laughing stock in the capital.
Fortunately, he arranged a trap in advance. He thought it would be impossible to use it, but in order to comply with the combat habits of half-demons, he divided a small part of his troops to ambush a hundred miles away.
However, activating the trap requires the sorcerers on the ship to work together, and Mu Dong'er behind the ship is chasing them closely. They have no chance to perform more magic while ensuring that the wreckage does not sink.
Tuo Yong had no choice but to stop the boat near the trap. In front of hundreds of demon soldiers from the She Shen Nation, he admitted his mistakes to a baby and begged for forgiveness, while the sorcerers quietly activated the trap in the lower cabin.
Mu Dong'er was fooled. He was much more mature than babies of the same age, but there were some things that intelligence could not make up for. He did not understand the complexity of the world, and he did not expect that a half-demon would have two completely different faces. During the long chase, his anger had gradually subsided. He was able to forgive the enemy who took the initiative to show weakness, and he was too complacent. He did not expect that there would be a trap hidden in the sea water under his feet.
In this way, Mu Dong'er fell into the demon blood formation and became a captive. The Dao fire on his head disappeared, and the copper bell in his hand was also taken away.
The copper bell was placed on the table in front of Tuo Yong. He thought it was a treasure, but he had never found out its details-the Flowing Fire Golden Bell that was changed by Master Pang Shan himself was invisible to the half-demon.
There were no other humans or demons in the cabin. Tuo Yong lowered his head to play with the copper bell, and suddenly raised his head and said to the angry baby: "Are all Taoists as precocious as you? How should I treat you? Infant? Teenager? Adult?"
"Let me go." Mu Dong'er was full of anger and had nowhere to vent.
"Hehe, child, you are still a child after all." Tuo Yong shook his head, "I think I'd better go to your mother. She is an adult and should be willing to negotiate with me and listen to my explanation..."
Mu Dong'er was fooled again, "What is there to explain? You came to attack the Demon Island, and if you can't beat me, you can use tricks. When I regain my freedom, I will kill all of you.
Tuo Yong lowered his head and continued to play with the copper bell, as if he had forgotten the captives in the cabin.
It was Mu Dong'er who couldn't hold his temper, "Don't you want to explain? Why don't you speak?"
Tuo Yong raised his head and smiled, then said seriously: "I once had the opportunity to kill you, but I didn't do it. "
Mu Dong'er's face flushed red. Not long after being captured, the half-demon tried to kill him with magic, but for some reason gave up halfway. When they met again, the half-demon changed his face and became amiable and reasonable.
Mu Dong'er remembered this lesson well.
Tuo Yong continued: "Actually, I am not here to attack the Demon Island. We were ordered to find Zhibubang, but you live on the island closest to Zhibubang, and you have always been hostile to Sheshenguo, so we had to strike first. "
"Despicable." Mu Dong'er couldn't think of any other words.
The child's accusation only made Tuo Yong calmer. He half leaned back and leaned comfortably on the back of the chair. "I'm curious, what is in Zhibubang? And how did it suddenly disappear?"
Tuo Yong imagined the child to be too mature, thinking that his question and the surprise on his face were a strategy, so he smiled and said, "You and your son would not stay on a deserted island for no reason. I heard that you were waiting for Mu Xingqiu, your father, but this reason is too far-fetched. I want to know the real reason."
Mu Dong'er finally understood that the other party really wanted to negotiate, "Why should I tell you this?"
"Haha, do you want to exchange information for freedom? Please don't have this idea, because I am just curious, and curiosity is not so valuable. If you are willing to tell the truth, I can let you suffer less. If you don't say it, I will have to punish you a little. , and then go see your mother. She loves her son dearly, so she will always be willing to say something. "
Mu Dong'er struggled hard, and the blood film on her body became darker. "My mother will kill you all."
"Then you will have to die with us." Tuo Yong disagreed. He had inquired clearly that Yang Qingyin did not have an inner elixir, so no matter how powerful she was, she was not to be feared. However, the little demon who had followed Mu Dong'er was quite powerful...
A voice suddenly came from outside the cabin, "When the King of Sacrifice sent you to find Zhibubang, didn't he tell you anything?"
Tuo Yong immediately straightened his back. The voice was very casual, as if it was one of the sorcerers on the ship, but the sorcerers would never dare to mention the "King of Sacrifice" in this tone.
"Who?" Tuo Yong showed a three-foot-long bone staff.
"I." A human came in from the cabin. He looked to be in his twenties. He was wearing a white robe, a long sword tied around his waist, and had a handsome appearance. Especially the smile on his face, which was gentle but contained a bit of kingly aura. As soon as he entered the cabin, he had the upper hand in momentum, as if he was the owner of the ship. Tuo Yong and Mu Dong'er were both guests who had been waiting here for a long time.
Tuo Yong felt ashamed of himself and was also very alert. The original warship was no longer usable. He requisitioned another warship and did not return to the port, but hid in the ocean. It was almost impossible to be found. But this person came as soon as he said, and the demon soldiers and sorcerers outside did not even issue a warning.
The visitor nodded slightly, "My name is Shen Jiyi, from Yashan. Please forgive me for interrupting your conversation."
Mu Dong'er had never heard of this name, but she had a very good impression of this person. She nodded involuntarily, "My name is Mu Dong'er, from Zhenmo Island. We are not talking, so you didn't interrupt us."
Tuo Yong stood up, holding a bone stick in one hand and pressing the other hand on the table, staring at the visitor, "Are you a Taoist priest from Yashan? Impossible, the Taoist sect retired a few months ago."
"The Taoist sect retired, but the Taoist priests did not." Shen Jiyi did not explain much, and turned his eyes to Mu Dong'er, "I know your parents. If you think about it carefully, we are still relatives."
Mu Dong'er was delighted, "Are you here to save me?"
"I hope this half-demon general can take the initiative to release you, and we can turn enemies into friends." Shen Jiyi smiled.
"I won't 'turn enemies into friends' with him." Mu Dong'er said hatefully.
Tuo Yong felt more and more that something was wrong. The demons on the entire ship seemed to be dead, and had no reaction to the orders he secretly issued with his bone staff. He forced a smile. Half-demons have a deep-rooted fear of Taoist priests, even if they are royals.
"It would be best if we could turn enemies into friends... Taoist Shen did not retire with Daotong, so he didn't need to hand over his inner elixir?" Tuo Yong had heard of the rumors and asked cautiously.
Shen Jiyi raised his right hand, and a small dragon of ice and fire rose from his palm, rushed to the top of the cabin and disappeared.
"Wow!" Mu Dong'er exclaimed, but Tuo Yong looked ashen. This Taoist priest not only did not hand over his inner elixir, but also had profound magic power. He looked like the legendary Starfall Realm, and deliberately showed the form of magic so that he could see it clearly.
Tuo Yong's ambitions changed completely, and there was only one thought in his mind, "I can release Mu Dong'er, but he has to promise not to kill me."
"This half-demon general may be of some use. Can you not kill him first?" Shen Jiyi asked politely.
Mu Dong'er was completely conquered by the Taoist priest in white, and immediately bowed her head, "Since you said it's useful, let's spare his life first."
Tuo Yong struggled for the last time in his heart, but decided not to take the risk. He waved the bone staff, removed the blood film on Mu Dong'er's body, and recalled the two demon heads.
Mu Dong'er rushed over as soon as she was free, and Tuo Yong was shocked: "You promised..."
Mu Dong'er just came to take the Flowing Fire Golden Bell and snorted contemptuously.
Shen Jiyi waited for Mu Dong'er to retreat before saying to Tuo Yong: "Suddenly, everyone is interested in Zhibu State. You want to know what Mu Dong'er knows, but I want to ask, what do you know?"
Tuo Yong's head hurt, and he blurted out: "There is a voice, claiming to be the ancestor of the Tuo family, giving me orders from Zhibu State..."
