Chapter 0852 Ashes of Spells
Zhenhuan is another kind of creature that looks almost the same as humans and monsters. Most of the time, their behavior is normal. However, as long as it involves pulling out the magic cave, their way of thinking will deviate from the range that ordinary people can understand. More persistent, braver and more foolish than a moth flying into a flame.
Mu Xingqiu looked up at the fantasy moon in mid-air, refusing to accept the last wave of evil hands.
Huanyue also loves to laugh, but unlike Dragon Demon's shrewdness, her smile is more gentle, as if she can see through the other person's thoughts at a glance, but it is not aggressive at all, but full of sympathy and recognition, "The true love between Dragon Demon and I is None of the phantom bodies are strong enough. One must be sacrificed in order for the other to successfully absorb the hand of demonic calamity. This is a fair competition. If I succeed, your true phantom body will disappear, and yours will disappear. The soul will be broken, so there is nothing to hesitate about. You just won the competition. Zuo Liuying could not have guessed that your spell would be so powerful."
Mu Xingqiu still didn't move.
Xiaofang took a few steps and caught Youliao, who was struggling to crawl into the sea. Then she waved her arms toward the sky and said loudly: "Wait a minute, you came out of my body, shouldn't you say it first?" Can I explain something?"
"What do you want to know?" Huanyue smiled.
Other humans and monsters were watching silently. Only Yin Buchen looked anxiously towards the horizon. The moon stopped there, but he always felt that the moon would suddenly jump out of the sea and seal the illusion. He kept praying to Mu Xingqiu in his heart. Can do it quickly.
Xiao Hao only felt annoyed because something very important happened to her, but she knew nothing about the cause and effect. "Are you...really Zuo Liuying's wife?"
"Zuo Liuying called me that, but I doubt he really understands the secular meaning of these two words."
This answer sounded a little confusing, but Xiao Hao understood it immediately, with a smile on his face, "You are his 'wife' in practice, I am relieved. Do you have to die? You can return to my body, I If you don’t mind, Zuo Liuying will also be happy.”
"Thank you, I can't evade my responsibilities. I shouldn't exist. I'm lucky to be able to live in this world." Huanyue turned to Mu Xingqiu, "This is also a relief for me. I can't even do one task." You can't bear any of them, let alone three. You always have a choice, but Zhenhuan doesn't. Everyone deserves to die, especially Zhenhuan."
"Okay." Mu Xingqiu recited the Wuxin curse again. The sound coming out of his mouth was like a melodious dragon's chant and a continuous ringing of bells. The lingering sound was like a never-ending wave washing over many ears in the illusion.
Everyone has responsibilities that they cannot avoid.
Huanyue's light blue body gradually merged with the black smoke and slowly entered Mu Xingqiu's palm. She had been reciting something silently. When she was about to disappear, she left her last words: "Don't let anyone make it happen again." It’s so illusory, how can magic have a soul? This is really cruel.”
Both the Demon Tribulation Hand and the Huan Yue disappeared in Mu Xingqiu's palm, but the fantasy world remained quiet until Yin Buchen reminded him tremblingly: "The moon... the moon is about to rise."
The turbid air surged up in his body, and Mu Xingqiu couldn't help but make a sigh-like sound. His body was unsteady and he staggered back two steps. Yang Qingyin hurriedly supported him, "Is something wrong?"
"No, very good." Mu Xingqiu looked at his arms carefully, then turned and smiled at Yang Qingyin, "I can feel the weight."
The body of the True Illusion was very light, and Mu Xingqiu had to cast spells from time to time to keep it on the ground. After absorbing the demonic calamity, he finally felt down to earth again.
Only then did Yang Qingyin realize that she could actually support Mu Xingqiu. In the past, he was just a ball of smoke and her arms would pass through his body.
The color of Mu Xingqiu's body was also slowly changing. The light blue faded, becoming more and more like a normal human being.
"The moon..." Yin Buchen pointed to the horizon and was about to cry.
Mu Xingqiu finally turned around and stretched out his arms, but did not take action immediately. Instead, he said to Granny Mei and other phantoms not far away: "Go back to your bodies. There is no truly safe hiding place in the world. Just Even the Taoist priests will be found out sooner or later."
"But the demons have been hiding safely for hundreds of thousands of years. A voice said.
"The demons have never escaped. They have been fighting for safety." A beam of light shot out from the palm of Mu Xingqiu's hand. There was no difference between the third eye and the ordinary naked eye. If it was there or not, it was just slightly brighter than the surrounding night. a little.
A weak light hit the moon.
The moon shattered like a mirror, and the illusion was shaking. It was not obvious at first, but gradually became more violent. The sea surface slowly swelled like a hill. Countless crabs sank into the sea water, and the phantom bodies followed one after another. disappear.
Xuanwu Mieshi's body tilted, and the beast masters cast spells to gain a firm footing. Yin Buchen asked in panic: "Did it succeed? Has the illusion been broken?"
"Of course it worked!" The bald man was extremely excited, not because he could finally leave this weird place, but because Mu Xingqiu could have a real body, more like Brother Xiaoqiu before.
The moon in the sky disappeared, and a real island emerged from the sea. Miushi was lying on the edge of the island, and the surrounding area became darker, with wind and snow blowing like a knife slicing across the face.
"This is really Star Mountain!" Bald Man recognized it. Not far ahead was the Star Mountain Tower he had been to before.
Xingshan is almost completely covered with ice and snow, and the tower that once towered into the sky is only seven or eight feet high. It has obviously been damaged.
Mu Xingqiu still remembered the path. The Devil's Cave should not be far from here. He took the lead and walked there. The fireballs in the air followed the footsteps of the beast masters.
A large group of humans and monsters came over. The souls who had taken refuge had just returned to their original bodies. They were not quite natural yet, their limbs were stiff, and their expressions were even more confused. When they saw Mu Xingqiu coming over, they automatically made way.
The Demon Cave was still there, as narrow as before. Mu Xingqiu stood in the middle of the cave and found that the magic in the cave was rapidly disappearing. Before long, it would become an ordinary cave, submerged under the snow. Humans and monsters were jumping out of the wall in an endless stream. When they passed by Mu Xingqiu, they all cast complicated glances at him, with awe and resentment. They still believed that the Star Mountain Illusion was safe and could not be found or broken from the outside.
The last one to jump out was Yuan Qijing, holding Grandma Mei with both hands, "She wants to talk to you."
Grandma Mei became extremely old and spoke weakly, "So Fangfang used me."
"It's the Dragon Demon. They are not the same person, but they look very similar." Mu Xingqiu corrected.
"The spell, there are still many things I don't know."
Mu Xingqiu tried to briefly describe the origin of the spell: it was a self-help spell left by the descendants of the Nianxin Department, but unfortunately it did not take effect in time. After tens of thousands of years, it came into the hands of Mei Chuan'an.
Grandma Mei was lying on Yuan Qijing's arm, as small as a child, with her eyes slightly closed, and it seemed that she had no breath in her nostrils. When Mu Xingqiu finished speaking, she sighed softly, "Oh, so that's it... so that's it... Zhenhuan said she was a spell, and Chuan'an and I were the plants and trees that were accidentally destroyed during the flight of the spell."
Mu Xingqiu was speechless. Grandma Mei and her son were indeed innocent. They had neither the intention nor the ability to help Zhenhuan. They fell into the vortex of spells just because of a contact. It seems that the Taoists don't like spells and avoid them as much as possible, which is actually a very correct choice.
"So, the Dragon Demon didn't use me. I chanted the spell, and although it couldn't produce true illusions, I was affected, so I listened to her advice so easily. Everything is destined, everything is destined. We are the ashes of true illusions..."
A blush flashed across Grandma Mei's face, and her eyes suddenly widened, "You are a Taoist priest."
"I used to be."
"You are very capable. You can remember things in the past clearly, right?"
Mu Xingqiu nodded.
"Let me take a look at Chuan'an. He said that there will be 49 days of memory after death. I don't want other memories, I just want him."
Mu Xingqiu stretched out his palm and gently pressed it on Grandma Mei's forehead, using illusion to input a phantom that only the two of them could see.
Of course he remembered the past: he and Fangfang walked on the clean road of Jinghu Village, heard the villagers' discussions, saw Grandma Mei smiling at the door, Mei Chuan'an stood straight behind the house, said a memorable strange words, and then chanted the spell.
Mu Xingqiu came to his senses. It turned out that it was not the root of Taoism born from the demon seed that changed his fate, but the five words said by Mei Chuan'an. Without this spell, he would be an ordinary Taoist priest, or even more ordinary, without even an inner elixir. The spell changed everything, and he was also swept into a spell from the distant past and became a part of it.
If there was no spell - Mu Xingqiu immediately thought of Fangfang, and then he found that the ending would not be better. He would die at any stage of the troubled times. Laozu Peak, Duanliu City, Luanjing Mountain... everywhere could be his burial place.
He understood why there were so many burdens on him. The Taoist sect might have the ability, but lacked the will. Other humans and demons had strong wills, but did not have the corresponding ability.
Only he met both conditions at the same time.
Mu Xingqiu retracted the illusion. Grandma Mei had closed her eyes, and there was still a faint smile on her face.
"She said she had no face to see everyone again, because you were right, the illusion could not stop the attack of the demons after all." Yuan Qijing said.
"Well, I have to remove one of your memories."
"About the spell? Remove it quickly. I never want to have any contact with it again. The same goes for other monsters and humans. There is no need to ask for their opinions."
Mu Xingqiu smiled and began to perform illusions to remove the spells from the minds of all humans and monsters on Xingshan Island. Huanyue was right. True illusion is a cruel spell that should not be preserved in the world.
At the same time that more than 10,000 memories were removed, a new memory suddenly appeared in Mu Xingqiu's mind. He remembered how he was replaced out of Zhibubang.
He had a conversation with Zuo Liuying and Long Mo.
