Chapter 0765 Time
Zuo Liuying and Zhou Qi were both the chiefs of the Forbidden Secrets Department. One was from Pangshan, and the other was in charge of Wangshan. They had known each other for a long time. They could not be called friends, but they interacted frequently.
High-level Taoists had no friends. Their mental state was close to perfection and did not need others to fill it. However, in terms of magic, they still needed to complement and cooperate with each other, especially in the Forbidden Secrets Department. The Taoists there were at the forefront and deepest of magic. Even the Taoists of Fu Rimang could not be foolproof. Therefore, whenever someone discovered a new magic, they would always invite Taoists from the Forbidden Secrets Department of various Taoist sects to evaluate the pros and cons.
Zuo Liuying mainly studied the demons and made great achievements. He often invited Taoists from the Forbidden Secrets Department to visit Pangshan. Zhou Qi never missed it. As the chief of the Forbidden Secrets Department with the longest age and the highest realm among the nine Taoist sects, Zhou Qi had a status beyond other chiefs. When everyone disagreed, he usually made the final decision.
Zhou Qi once admired Zuo Liuying and supported this young junior many times. When Zuo Liuying invited his peers to report the true illusion incident, no one thought that this would be a plan left by the Mind Department. Zhou Qi stood on the opposite side of Zuo Liuying. He was more convinced than most Taoist priests of the Forbidden Secret Department that the true illusion was a precursor to the devil, and suggested that Pang Shan take early precautions.
In the eyes of high-level Taoist priests, decades are quite short. The scene of that year was like yesterday, but the one who was possessed by the devil was not Zuo Liuying, but Zhou Qi who made the prophecy.
However, in the eyes of outsiders, Zuo Liuying has changed more. The devil and the previous serious injuries have not had much impact on Zhou Qi's appearance. He is still a Taoist priest who is in charge of the spirit. Even if he is just sitting on the back of a small donkey, he still has a fairy-like appearance. On the other hand, Zuo Liuying, wearing a simple straw hat on his head, a farmer-like short-sleeved shirt and long trousers, and holding a bamboo stick in his right hand, is more like a scholar who is changing clothes to escape, rather than the famous head of the Forbidden Secret Department of Pangshan.
Zuo Liuying raised his head, revealing his face under the brim of his hat, as quiet and handsome as a virgin. Feifei has been practicing with Zuo Liuying for more than two years. Every time he sees him, he always has the urge to kneel down, but he can hold it back and just respectfully steps aside.
The beast demon sat on the ground and turned his head. He stared for a while before recognizing who it was. He grinned, but still couldn't make a sound.
Zuo Liuying walked slowly to the edge of the cliff and looked down.
Zhou Qi narrowed his eyes slightly, "Will it be easier to condense the elixir again?"
"It's harder."
"As I expected, so you chose to practice inner elixir for the second time." Zhou Qi lowered his eyes, like a teacher who heard that his most proud disciple gave up literature and did business, "I am very disappointed. The mountain is high and dangerous. You should have climbed it with determination, but you took a detour. "
"This mountain is not that mountain, it is still a mountain. "
Lao Zhuang pouted and nodded repeatedly. In fact, he didn't understand a word. He just thought these two Taoists were interesting.
The conversation in the Forbidden Secret Department ended, and Zhou Qi asked: "Do you want to join the battle?"
Zuo Liuying shook his head, "This is a battle by appointment. No one can join without an appointment."
"Very good. Be careful." Zhou Qi looked down on the casual cultivator Zuo Liuying, and said it in passing. He didn't look at him again, and turned his head to look at the more than 40 Taoist priests on the sea.
Among the Taoist priests, only Lan Qizhang saluted Zuo Liuying on the cliff from a distance. The others did not move. They could not cross the threshold between the Taoist and casual cultivators anyway.
"You have all received the blessings of the Taoist treasures and the Taoist priests who have been injected with spirits, and your inner alchemy realm has been greatly improved." Zhou Qi's voice was dull, as if he was reluctant to speak, "But there is no Taoist priest who has been injected with spirits among you, all of you are Xingluo. "
The forty-one Taoists who voluntarily stayed in the world were all in the realm of eating clouds or swallowing smoke before. After being blessed, they were promoted to the first to seventh levels of Starfall. It's not that the Taoist school is unwilling to try its best, but the strength of the treasure is closely related to the realm of the caster. No matter how many Taoists who are infused with spirits, they cannot create another Taoist who is infused with spirits.
Zhou Qi is a Taoist who is infused with spirits. His realm has not changed after he was infused with demons. He is the biggest support of the magic Taoists. "Forcibly improving the realm is a taboo in cultivation. If the state of mind is inconsistent with the strength, it will be shaken. Why does the Taoist school let a group of Taoists who are easily infused with demons deal with us magic Taoists?"
Zhou Qi was very calm when he called himself a magic Taoist.
Lan Qi Zhang on the sea said: "It is not our wish to be infused with demons, but if we are unfortunate enough to fall into the path of demons, we are also prepared."
Zhou Qi looked up at the sky, "This is a trick left by Fang Xunmo, letting a group of Taoists who may be infused with demons act as bait. If the magic Taoists carelessly try to win you over, they will lead the wolf into the house, right? "
"There is no point in saying more, Zhou Qi, don't think you know everything, think about the mistakes you have made."
"Mu Xingqiu." Zhou Qi said this name. He did make a serious mistake, so that he was defeated by a breathing Taoist priest - the Starfall Inner Pill that Mu Xingqiu got from the Dragon Demon was not recognized - but he believed that if he fought again, he would never underestimate the enemy, just like this time, he would not hold back his strength just because the opponent was a group of Starfall Taoist priests.
Lao Zhuang, who was watching the battle on the cliff, was finally able to speak, "Is this a challenge? Why haven't you started yet?"
"It has already started." Feifei said on the other side with a little excitement, her little face flushed, "They are transforming the 'time' to make the surrounding environment more suitable for their own casting, so that they can have the upper hand when they start later."
"So troublesome?" Lao Zhuang opened his eyes wide, unable to see any clues. The rain had passed and the sun was rising. The wind was cool, the air was fresh, and everything was normal. "Why didn't the Taoist sect leave more people? There was no need for good timing, and we won in no time."
Feifei couldn't answer this question, and both demons looked at Zuo Liuying. Feifei quickly turned his head away, but Lao Chong kept staring. He was repaired by Zuo Liuying, disguised as Yishijun, so he The impression is quite mixed.
Lao Chong was stunned and scratched his head, "Is it...the devil's thoughts?"
Feifei suppressed a smile and felt that this question was posed to him, "Devil thoughts are actually ordinary thoughts."
Zuo Liuying did not comment, but Lao Chong was confused and scratched his head again, "Isn't Fan Nian just the thoughts of us monsters and ordinary humans? How can it be demonic thoughts?"
The two groups of Taoist priests at the foot of the cliff were still competing for "the right time." Zhou Qi and Lan Qizhang occasionally said a few irrelevant words. Lao Chong was quite bored, so he had a lot of doubts.
Feifei had read a lot of Taoist books, but it was still difficult to explain this kind of thing to Lao Chong. After thinking for a while, he said: "It's like a newborn baby who cries and makes fuss when he's hungry. He grabs food easily and refuses to let go. , this is the thought of a baby..."
"It's useless. The baby has no strength. No matter how tight the hand is, the parents can take away the food."
"This is exactly the reason. Babies' thoughts are harmless because they are too weak. If the same thoughts are placed in the minds of more powerful adult monsters and humans, it is greed and arrogance."
"What are you trying to say? I've seen too much greed and arrogance."
"Ordinary demons and humans are weak, so their emotions and desires are not very harmful, and may be beneficial. Taoist priests are powerful and omnipotent, and even ordinary thoughts are demonic thoughts: delicious food, whatever the demon wants. , what people like, but there will be a time when their belly is bulging and they can no longer eat. If a Taoist priest has this desire, his mouth and stomach will be like a ravine, and it will be difficult to satisfy him even if he eats all day long. The more dissatisfied he will be, the more greedy he will become, which will eventually become a demonic thought. ”
Lao Chong seemed to have some enlightenment, "I understand a little bit. I like fighting, but I have to rest when I get tired. If I were a Taoist priest, I would never know when I was tired, so I would keep fighting - haha, this is quite interesting. "
"But from the perspective of the person being beaten, you are a huge villain, so you have demonic thoughts. The bloodthirsty of a demon soldier is bravery, and the bloodthirsty of a demon general is cruelty or duty. The bloodthirsty of a demon king is only ruthless and violent. The poor and lowly are greedy for wealth, and it is even a sign of advancement. The rich and powerful are greedy for wealth, but they always harm one party. read."
"So, the higher the realm of Taoist priests, the easier it is for them to become possessed by demons?"
"So the state of mind and strength must match. The state of mind of a high-level Taoist priest is more stable, which offsets the danger of being possessed by demons."
Lao Chong frowned, feeling that this matter was too complicated, but it made some sense, "Isn't this guy named Zhou Qi a high-level Taoist who is possessed by the devil? What is he greedy for?"
Feifei couldn't answer.
"What he is greedy for is Tao." Zuo Liuying said that no Taoist priest knows more about "demon" than him. "Practice is the food, emotions and desires of high-level Taoist priests. Demon seeds will allow Taoist priests to see a whole new field. It seems simpler, more reasonable, and more promising than the Taoist practice. No Taoist priest can resist this temptation."
As for ordinary humans and demons, they are just carriers of the demon species, providing it with nutrients and allowing it to grow.
Lao Chuang looked blankly at the "fighting" going on below the cliff, feeling that Zuo Liuying's words were the same as the so-called Tianshi, invisible and intangible, seemingly there but not there at the same time.
"Forget it, I don't want to be a Taoist priest anyway. Can anyone tell me how far these two groups of Taoist priests have reached?"
Feifei's vision has reached its limit. He can feel that the situation is getting more and more tense, but he cannot judge the specific extent.
Zuo Liuying knocked on the ground twice with the bamboo stick in his hand, so that the two demons could see what he saw.
Lao Chong, who was sitting on the ground, jumped up and almost jumped up. Then he sat firmly and exclaimed: "Old God... I want to be a Taoist priest again."
Feifei clenched his two small fists. He had long wanted to be a Taoist priest, but now he felt confused and felt that he was not worthy.
In the military camp under the cliff, more than 20 magicians were riding not donkeys, but some kind of weird animals, about the same size as donkeys. They were hairless and seemed to have no flesh and blood. Bright green mucus flowed in and out, not even a drop of it. Don't fall to the ground.
The magic priests set up a magic circle, and the entire military camp was filled with huge black magic words. What frightened Lao Chong and Feifei was that thousands of demon clansmen in the Sacrifice Country did not retreat. They were all lying in tents, posing in different ways. The posture has become part of the strokes of the magic text, and some monsters are even twisting.
On the sea, what the forty-one Taoist priests are stepping on is not a raft, but dazzling rays of light. The Taoist priests are not standing randomly, but also in a formation. More than ten rays of light are connected together, vaguely like talismans written on the sea. .
Black magic texts and golden talismans flew into the sky in an endless stream, colliding together to start a fierce fight.
The magician side had a slight upper hand, and the battle for time fell into a stalemate. Lan Qizhang said: "Please accept the move."
"Okay." Zhou Qi replied.
On the sea, a Taoist priest slowly rose into the sky.
Feifei flinched and recognized that it was Shen Jiyi. Daotong actually wanted to use a Taoist priest of the first level of Xingluo to deliver the first blow.
