Chapter 0877 Taoism Does Not Tolerate Demons

"It's them!" A surprised and angry voice came from a nearby boat, "How dare you stay in Sunset Lake!"

The shopkeeper of Sunset Tower and a group of men came by boat to chase them. There were several large and small boats in the distance. When they heard the shouts from here, they turned their boats around. A figure flew in the air, faster, and looked like a casual cultivator.

Mr. Qin's narration was interrupted like this. He was still sitting on the horizontal board of the bow, saying nothing, and had no intention of running away. He really gave the responsibility of "protection" to Mu Xingqiu.

Mu Xingqiu put down the oars, stood up and turned to face the pursuers. The first decision he made in his mind was to run away, because this was the simplest way to deal with it, and because he could do it. Few people in this world could catch up with him. As for why these people were chasing him, it didn't matter at all.

Mu Xingqiu changed his mind. He remembered what Mr. Qin had just said, that power would change a person's character, or at least his behavior. When there are more choices, people will always tend to choose the simplest and most direct approach. Therefore, the demon soul combined with the demon species will fight with the Taoist sect, and Mu Xingqiu, who has strong magic power, can run away whenever he wants.

Mu Xingqiu stood on the boat without casting any spells, not to prove that he was not affected by power, but to experience again what ordinary people would do in this situation, which would help to figure out why the demon soul was obsessed with reincarnation.

"We are here." Mu Xingqiu said loudly, "Why are you chasing us so closely? Do we owe you money for the wine?"

Several boats stopped and arranged in a fan shape. The one who answered the question was not the shopkeeper of Xizhaolou, but a middle-aged man floating in the air, "Hey, who are you? You have learned a little magic, and you dare to be so ostentatious in Duanliu City? Don't you know that the headquarters of Hongxiuhui is here?"

Mu Xingqiu looked back at Mr. Qin. He really didn't know that there was a "headquarters of Hongxiuhui" in Duanliu City, and he had never even heard of the "Hongxiuhui" organization. Mr. Qin still said nothing, as if the whole thing had nothing to do with him.

"I did learn a little magic, but I don't know how to say 'show off'?"

The casual cultivator in the air snorted disdainfully. The shopkeeper of Sunset Tower standing on the boat knew it was his turn to take the stage. He raised his arms and held some stones and iron blocks in his hands. "You used these things to pretend to be gold and silver, and ate and drank lavishly in Sunset Tower. The evidence is here, and you still don't admit it?"

Mu Xingqiu was a little surprised. Most of his gold and silver came from Xin Youtao. They were absolutely real gold and silver. He had used them before and never had any problems. If these gold and silver were really fake, he would not be able to tell with his eyes.

Using the mind illusion technique to directly probe the shopkeeper's memory, the truth can be immediately revealed. Mu Xingqiu resisted this small temptation and shook his head and said, "Of course I don't admit it. May I ask who discovered that the gold and silver were fake?"

"Who else needs to discover it? Not long after you left, this pile of gold and silver turned into iron and stone." The shopkeeper said angrily, attracting a lot of echoes, "It can be seen that you are old hands. You specialize in using fake gold and silver to cheat for food and drink, and you also called two popular singing girls."

The casual cultivators in the air stared at Mu Xingqiu, and Mu Xingqiu only looked at the shopkeeper. After the echoes of the crowd stopped, he said, "Is there anyone from the government here?"

The middle-aged casual cultivator said coldly, "Hong Xiuhui is the government. If you want to defend yourself, just tell me."

Mu Xingqiu shook his head again, "The government should judge the case impartially. You have already determined that I am a liar when you came. How can you be 'impartial'? '?"

The middle-aged casual cultivator's expression changed, and it seemed that he was about to explode. He barely held back and slowly descended. Standing on the water between Mu Xingqiu and the shopkeeper, he said in a hard voice: "Okay, let's be fair. The shopkeeper of Xizhaolou accused you of using iron and stone to impersonate gold and silver. Hand over all your remaining gold and silver for me to verify on the spot. "

"The gold and silver have been spent. The last bit was used to hire a boat. May I ask if the boat owner also got iron and stone?"

The boat owner was not among the pursuers. The shopkeeper shouted: "It costs more to hire a boat? It's not surprising that it's true. You deceived Xizhaolou. You said that the gold and silver were spent, which is even more deceptive. The bag around your waist is full of fake gold and silver. Do you think we can't see it? "

More than 40 people on the five boats stared at Mu Xingqiu's treasure bag, and even the middle-aged casual cultivator took a quick look.

Without the need for illusion or interrogation, Mu Xingqiu also understood what was going on. His gold and silver were not "taken" from the treasure bag, but summoned out. In order to prevent his behavior from being too strange, he would gently pat the bag with his hand every time he summoned gold and silver in the Sunset Tower. To outsiders, the treasure bag became an inexhaustible bag of gold and silver.

This is a group of greedy mortals, and there is also a greedy casual cultivator.

Mu Xingqiu waited for a while, sighed lightly, untied the treasure bag from his waist, and held it in his hand, "Since you don't believe it, then check it, but I need to know your name first."

"Wen Huifeng, a Jindan cultivator of Hong Xiuhui." The middle-aged casual cultivator said proudly, and his eyes finally stared at the treasure bag openly.

"The gold and silver are indeed spent, but there are many things in it. Are they safe?" Mu Xingqiu asked.

"Hong Xiuhui is the orthodox cultivator in the world. You are a small casual cultivator who has just learned magic. What do you have that is worth us robbing?" Wen Huifeng's voice was a little impatient.

Mu Xingqiu actually thought so. It was probably not the gold and silver that impressed Wen Huifeng, but the treasure bag itself. However, he still threw the bag over.

Wen Huifeng caught it, looked seriously to the left and right, then slowly opened the bag and made a few gestures with his fingers.

Mu Xingqiu recognized the other party's method. It was the natural magic that he had spread back then.

Wen Huifeng was checking the origin of the treasure bag, but he couldn't see anything. The bag looked very ordinary. It was made of rough leather and was very old. There weren't many things in it. He put his hand into the bag and groped for a long time. Just took out something.

A three-foot-long demon bone shone with a faint green light under the moonlight. People on the five boats opposite exclaimed in unison, and the shopkeeper loudly said: "Look, this is also evidence. These two people can carry out such a big thing." A bone stuffed into a small bag can naturally turn iron and stone into gold and silver."

Everyone agreed again, but Wen Huifeng did not speak. Instead, he was surprised. This demon bone was of high quality and was a rare thing. How could an ordinary cultivator have such a treasure? He glanced at Mu Xingqiu quickly, no longer as underestimating the enemy as he had been at the beginning.

Everything in the treasure bag was taken out. All kinds of monsters and magic weapons, each one can cause exclamations. The shopkeeper on the ship's eyes lit up. It was not his profession to snatch guests' property, so it seemed that The more good things he received, the happier he felt. Especially when he found gold and silver souls, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva. He really wanted to rush over and share the spoils with the monks immediately.

Others' surprises were exactly Wen Huifeng's fear. He placed everything in mid-air in front of him, and the speed of taking things out became slower and slower, as if there were poisonous insects or traps waiting for him in the bag.

After taking out at least thirty items, Wen Huifeng took out his bag empty-handed without taking out anything. The shopkeeper said eagerly: "Is it gone? It must be more than just these things. Where is the gold and silver? Old Wen, don't be alone..."

"Shut up!" Wen Huifeng shouted sternly. He wanted to put the things in front of him back into the treasure bag. He quietly cast several spells but they didn't work. He had to turn to Mu Xingqiu. The muscles on his face moved awkwardly a few times, stiffly. He said: "No problem, maybe shopkeeper Sun made a mistake. You can go."

"What are you talking about? Old Wen..." The shopkeeper of Xizhao Tower was anxious, but when Wen Huifeng's stern eyes swept over him, he had no choice but to shut up.

Wen Huifeng slowly rose into the air, "Please enjoy the lake view. If anyone comes to disturb you, just mention my name, Wen Huifeng. I'm sorry... this..."

The monk turned around and flew towards the city at an extremely fast speed. Everyone who followed was stunned, and they could only return one after another. Shopkeeper Sun stayed for a while longer, looking at the treasure bag and the rows of treasures, reluctant to leave, and was finally persuaded to leave by the clerk. , his complaint came from the dark night: "Wen Huifeng is planning to take it all for himself, I'm sure he will come back later..."

Even if he knew this, shopkeeper Sun didn't dare to come back. Xizhao Tower couldn't afford to offend Hong Xiuhui.

Mu Xingqiu waved his hand, and the demon bones and other objects automatically entered the treasure bag and flew back to his waist.

"You solve one problem and cause more problems." Mr. Qin put his hands on his knees and stood up slowly like a pure old man. "The temptation of power is everywhere. The same is true for ordinary humans and monsters. It's just that their power There is a limit, and the temptation will not burn brightly. No matter how greedy the shopkeeper is, he can only leave in anger when facing a strong competitor, not daring to touch the treasure. If Wen Huifeng's magic was stronger, he would dare to do it in person. Now he's looking for help."

The boat under his feet sailed quickly into the depths of the night. Mu Xingqiu was silent for a long time and said, "Are humans and monsters really not worth saving?"

More than one strong man had said similar words to him. Mu Xingqiu had never taken it seriously, but now he had to seriously consider it.

"Are you saving the entire human race and monster race?" Mr. Qin asked.

Mu Xingqiu was silent for a while, "What I want to save most is myself, and the relatives and friends I care about."

"So your problem doesn't exist at all. You conflict with Tao and demons because your paths are different. It has nothing to do with whether all living beings are worth saving. The temptation of power is like a beautiful woman. All men in the world know her beauty, and all the men in the world know her beauty. But men all want to monopolize it and cannot share it. The same is true for power. Mu Xingqiu, Tao cannot tolerate demons and demons cannot tolerate Tao, because both parties are pursuing the same power. You are not tolerated because you are approaching this power. "

Mu Xingqiu's heart moved, "What kind of power is the demonic calamity? Is it worthy of Taoism to eliminate the entire mind and heart department?"

Just as Mr. Qin was about to speak, a cold voice came from the air, "For more than 130,000 years, we have searched every corner of the world, Demon Soul, why have you been hiding?"
