Chapter 0883 Deduction
Mr. Qin chose a dimly lit tavern. What he admired was not the wine here, but the chaotic atmosphere. "It's a very interesting thing.ɱ" he said, shaking the wine glass gently in his hand and taking a sip. Not drinking, "The same noise and sour smell, which would be unacceptable in a better hotel, are just right here, complementing the dimness of ignorance and the vulgar faces."
Several "vulgar" faces were squinting at the two weird guests with drunken eyes. Their mentality was as chaotic as the tavern. They had no special purpose and they might have been living in peace. If something happened suddenly, it would not cause any trouble. People are surprised.
Mr. Qin looked at the drinkers in this room with the eyes of appreciating beasts, as if he could solve all the vigilance with a peanut. Fortunately, his interest soon ended, and his eyes turned back to Mu Xingqiu, "This one How do you plan to fight?"
This is indeed a war, with Mu Xingqiu on one side and the demons on the other. The living beings living in the imperial capital are both battlefields and trophies. For Mu Xingqiu, these trophies are especially important, because they include those he cares about most. several people.
"What would the devil do?" Mu Xingqiu asked, and no one was more suitable to answer this question than Mr. Qin.
"The demon species already have their own consciousness and are very smart, but they lack wisdom and their thoughts are easy to guess." Mr. Qin pondered for a moment, "The demon species learned your skills in Duanliu City and will not challenge you directly again. They He will find a master who is evenly matched with you, strengthen his spells, and use his hands to get rid of you. Unfortunately, this master is likely to know nothing about the provocation of the demon species, and it will be difficult for you to wake him up. unless……"
Unless Mu Xingqiu learns the magic to remove evil thoughts, but the distant water cannot quench the near thirst, he has not even reached the Rimang realm yet.
Several names flashed through Mu Xingqiu's mind. Zuo Liuying, Yishi Jun, and Long Mo were all capable of fighting him. Everyone's spells were different and the outcome was unpredictable, but they were already very powerful when they left Zhibu State. , should not be easily invaded by demon species. The next thing he thought of was Shen Hao and other nine Taoist priests. Their strength was not weak, and their mission on this trip was to specifically pursue demon souls. They were hostile to Mu Xingqiu, but their Taoist hearts were intact and they could Resist the breakthrough of the demon species.
For more than ten years, the demon species may have secretly trained some masters, perhaps people whom Mu Xingqiu didn't know at all... He realized that Mr. Qin still had more to say, so he said, "Please continue."
"The demon species has another method, which does not require the help of a master, but uses all those who are possessed by the devil. Mu Xingqiu, your concern for mortals is an obvious weakness. The demon species will tempt you to use mind-mind illusions to remove the demonic thoughts, and then Trapped your consciousness in a place you can't imagine. In this way, whether you are alive or dead, there will be no obstacle between the demon species and me. "
This leads to Xin Youtao and Xiao Qingtao, as well as Yang Qingyin and Mu Dong'er who are far away at sea. If they have demonic thoughts, they are most likely to become the bait of the demon species. Mu Xingqiu also guessed this, so he was cautious , would rather choose to cooperate with Queen Xun. She is a mortal. As long as the demon seed does not stay in her body, even if the impact is not great, it will not be big.
In terms of the skill of manipulating people's hearts, Daotong's telepathy magic is still not as good as the magic of the demons. What puts Mu Xingqiu at an even greater disadvantage is that he cares about the life and death of these people, but the demons don't care. The situation in this battle is even more one-sided.
"You know, you have an easier choice." Mr. Qin put down the wine glass in his hand, took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped every finger holding the glass, which attracted some sideways glances from the guests, "You don't have to submit to the Rimang realm. There is no need to remove anyone’s demonic thoughts. You can learn the secrets of the Seven Elements of Zhengfa right now. In as little as a month or as long as a year, you can make all demons bow their heads.”
Mr. Qin leaned forward slightly, "In this way, you are not only the obstacle between the demon soul and the demon species, but also the transmitter and middleman. To use a metaphor, I am the emperor who is impartial and indifferent to political affairs, and you are the master. The powerful prime minister, the demons are the ministers and the army. They control all living beings, that is, if you control all living beings, those who become demons will no longer be a problem, but a reward. "
Mr. Qin stared at Mu Xingqiu for a while, then straightened up and lowered his eyes, "Of course, you won't agree.
"I don't like being the prime minister." Mu Xingqiu had known Mr. Qin's idea for a long time, but he would never join because in this chain-like relationship, he has one of the biggest weaknesses: the demon seed lasts forever, and the demon soul Those who can reincarnate are all immortals, but Mu Xingqiu's lifespan is limited. Mr. Qin will always be the emperor who "does not care about political affairs", the demon species will always be a slave who is driven, and the "prime minister" who holds the power will live for generations. replace.
The influence of Mu Xingqiu's acceptance of the method of re-annihilation is still there. His appearance has not changed, but he only has a few decades left in his life.
Mr. Qin knew that he had taken the plunge, and it was too early to make this suggestion. "The demon species is more likely to attack on both sides. It is difficult for them to find a master who is stronger than you. In this regard, you have the upper hand. As for the battle of state of mind, you have nothing to do now." Odds."
Mu Xingqiu tapped lightly on the table with his fingers. He never believed in the words "no chance of winning". He dared to fight the most powerful monsters on the real battlefield, and he also dared to accept the challenge on any fantasy battlefield. .
"I can capture the demon seeds, imprison them for a while, and then take the opportunity to cast spells. I can't safely remove the demonic thoughts, but I may be able to help some people get rid of the demonic thoughts by their own will. At least I can guarantee safety."
This is a war game. Mr. Qin plays the role of the demon. Hearing Mu Xingqiu's plan, he shook his head, "First, the demon will not appear in front of you again and let you imprison them. Second, you may be able to save one or two humans, but it will make the minds of other demons more chaotic. The demon likes chaos. Do you like it?"
Mu Xingqiu fell into deep thought. Mr. Qin was forcing him into a "dead end". This is also what the demon will do in the future. He has to think of a countermeasure in advance. "You just said that the demon can trap my consciousness in an 'unimaginable place'. What is that place? I hope you can try to explain it, maybe I can understand it."
"Have you entered the Niwan Palace of ordinary humans or demons?"
"Their Niwan Palace is not formed at all."
"So you can't imagine it."
Mu Xingqiu suddenly realized that the state of mind of mortals is not only a desert that blocks the demon, but also a place of exile. He has never been there, so it is naturally "unimaginable".
The noise in the tavern became louder and louder. Everyone drank to their heart's content and immersed themselves in their own world. The tavern filled with smoke and stench was their paradise on earth.
Mu Xingqiu tried to perform the illusion of emptiness. He could easily see the memory of anyone here. Most mortals' memories were vague, and the memory of drunkards was particularly incomplete. Mu Xingqiu was not interested. He was looking for the Niwan Palace, the most important barrier used by practitioners to protect their minds. For ordinary people, it was just a pile of abandoned bricks and stones. The older they were, the more seriously the bricks and stones were damaged until they were unusable. Therefore, the Taoist sect had an age limit when selecting disciples, which was no more than fifteen years old. After that, no matter how good the roots of Taoism were, they could not achieve the right results.
Mu Xingqiu found nothing. It was in this desert of mind that the power of the mind illusion was far weaker than the magic of the demon clan. He still couldn't imagine what it would be like to be trapped in the unformed Niwan Palace. For him, this place did not exist at all, but the demons could run freely in it.
Mu Xingqiu's fingers tapped faster and faster on the table, finally angering a sturdy man at the next table. He threw the wine bowl to the ground, stood up, stepped in front of Mu Xingqiu, and said condescendingly: "Boy, I have tolerated you for a long time. You come to the tavern without drinking, just to watch the fun? What you say is incomprehensible. Do you think you are a great talisman master? You keep tapping your fingers. Are you a drummer and singing for a living? Do you want me to chop off your fingers for you?"
Mu Xingqiu looked up at the sturdy man, first with astonishment, then slowly turned into joy, "Thank you." He said, stopped tapping the table, reached out and gently patted the sturdy man's arm twice, sincerely thanking him. "Thank you very much, you helped me a lot."
The strong man was stunned and looked at Mu Xingqiu in confusion, "Madman..." He muttered, turned back to his table, grabbed a bowl of wine and took a big sip, then said loudly to his companions: "That's a madman, both of them are crazy."
Mr. Qin never cared about this kind of curse, and Mu Xingqiu didn't care even more. On the contrary, he was very happy. He stood up and threw a small piece of silver on the counter to settle the wine bill, "I have to leave you for a while."
"Yeah." Mr. Qin returned to the state of not caring about anything, and didn't even ask Mu Xingqiu why he was happy.
Mu Xingqiu said he was leaving, but he didn't step out of the tavern. Instead, he raised his hand and threw a large piece of silver on the counter, and said loudly: "I'll treat everyone to a bowl of good wine!"
No matter how weird this person looks, as long as he is willing to pay for the wine, he must be a good person. The drinkers in the room cheered, and the strong man at the next table was particularly excited, thinking that he had contributed to it.
The waiter was quick and quick, and immediately held the wine jar to add wine to all the guests. Mu Xingqiu signaled the waiter to come to his table last. He did not wait for him to pour the wine, but took the wine jar and poured it into his mouth.
The cheers became louder.
Mu Xingqiu had not drunk a drop of wine for decades. He took a few big gulps, put down the wine jar, glanced left and right, fell down, and fell asleep under the table.
The guests were not surprised. They raised their bowls to clink and drank them all in a burst of laughter.
Only Mr. Qin did not blend into this joyful atmosphere. He sat there silently, like a reef about to be submerged by the sea. He was born in the sea but refused to go with the flow.
"There are also Taoist priests." Mr. Qin said, without deliberately lowering his voice, but in the noise, no one paid attention to what he said, "The demon species is waiting for you in the imperial capital, and the Taoist priests will too."
It was almost dusk, and Zeng Fu was standing at the gate of the palace to be examined by the talisman, preparing to meet Queen Xun as usual.
