Chapter 0978 Why Are You a Thief?

The door of the manor opened automatically, and a loud voice inside said: "Please forgive Liao for being blind, for not recognizing that the two of you are of the same kind. Please come in."

Xin Youxun entered the village first, followed closely by Zeng Fu. He was wondering, why did Queen Xun, who was usually cautious in dealing with things, suddenly turned into the adventurous and adventurous Queen Xin as soon as she left the imperial capital?

The manor is very simple, and most of the surrounding houses are dilapidated, obviously abandoned for a long time. There are not two monks in the yard, but five, standing scattered, looking coldly at the two women riding donkeys, the one who calls himself Liao The man was the horse-faced monk who once intercepted the two women on the road.

Xin Youxun stopped at the door, hiding his hands in his sleeves, silently recalling the technique of sacrificial talisman in his mind. At the same time, he turned his eyes and quickly recognized the leader among the five people. Wearing a robe, his hair in a bun, and without a hairpin, he did not stand in the middle, but on the edge. He only had to jump over to block the escape route of the two women.

Among the five, he was the calmest.

"The world is in turmoil. It's a good time to show off your talents and make contributions. You have practiced hard for many years, why did you become thieves in one day?" Xin Youxun's eyes slowly swept over, and finally fell on the monk without a hairpin.

The five monks sneered at the same time. The one who answered was the Taoist priest surnamed Liao. He took two steps forward, made several complicated gestures with his right hand, and summoned the long magic sword, "Thieves? You say we are thieves? Haha, Taoism. The whole world is about to be swallowed up, but the world worships Taoists as gods, and we are just picking up the scraps, and we have become little thieves. "

"Those are not remnants, they are living women and babies. The Taoist tradition has not yet reached the stage of using magic to improve practice." Xin Youxun had already scanned the place and found no whereabouts of the pregnant women.

"Haha, you are quite willing to speak for the orthodoxy, but the truth cannot be spoken. Come on, tell me your name, take off the veil, let me see your true face, and then I can learn your talisman skills."

Taoist priest surnamed Liao confirmed that these two women were not monks, but were so courageous that they could only be talisman masters.

Xin Youxun had the talisman ready in her hand, but she didn't want to take action so quickly. She still looked at the monk without a hairpin, "I recognize you. Your name is Chen Guanhuo. You were once a subordinate of the mage Wang Lan Curling, and later joined Pei Shuai's monks. Why?" Will you hang out with this group of people?”

Xin Youxun has an excellent memory of characters. Chen Guanhuo is not an important monk. She has only met him a few times and has not even spoken to him, but she remembers his general resume.

The five monks were all taken aback and no longer dared to underestimate the two "talisman masters" who came to the door. The Taoist priest surnamed Liao was about to swing his sword to cast a spell when Chen Guanhuo raised his hand to stop him, "Your Excellency, by your surname, you actually recognize me." A little person?"

"You are not a small person. You have resisted the tyranny of Lan Bingqu, participated in several wars against demons, and made great military exploits..."

"Haha!" Chen Guanhuo laughed loudly, "Your tone sounds like a big shot. Yes, I have resisted and fought, but I don't do meritorious service, I just want to save my life. It's the same now. You are the talisman masters. , didn’t you realize that the Taoist tradition was stopping the supply of spells?”

"Oh, no wonder I saw the Taoist Tower shaking a few times. That's what happened." Zeng Fu suddenly realized, jumped off the donkey's back and raised his hands, "I am not a talisman master, nor a monk, just an ordinary mortal. , maid, maid...you can call me whatever you want, just don't cast spells on me."

Zeng Fu was also wearing a veil. Chen Guanhuo felt vaguely that she looked familiar. He thought about it and said, "In the past few months, the monks' inner elixirs have made rapid progress, and the effectiveness of Longbinhui's talismans has doubled. Once the Taoism completely stops supplying spells, Do you know what will happen? The monks will easily go crazy due to the sudden decrease in power, and the talismans you have written will also become unstable. "

"What does it have to do with you raping pregnant women?" Zeng Fu asked.

"Because Daotong has been looking for pregnant women everywhere these days, and has secretly checked the fetuses in some people's bellies."

"Are they looking for someone who has the root of the Dao born in the womb?" Zeng Fu guessed that Zuo Liuying, whom she had served, was a rare person with the root of the Dao born in the womb.

Chen Guanhuo felt more and more that he had seen this woman, and his tone softened, "We also guessed the same. In short, we found it earlier than Dao Tong."

"What are you doing? You are not Taoist priests. What's the use of giving birth to Taoist roots?"

Chen Guanhuo did not answer. Taoist priest surnamed Liao said dissatisfiedly: "Why bother telling these two female Talisman Masters? Just kill them. The Taoist priests will go to look for pregnant women elsewhere. The other monks and Talisman Masters will go to join the war. This area is just the five of us." rule the roost.

The other three monks thought this was a good idea and summoned their magical weapons one after another, preparing to surround the two women.

Xin Youxun was the first to make a move. She had practiced quietly with her hands in her sleeves for a while, and she felt that she was almost ready. She never believed that persuasion could solve the problem, so she made a ruthless move and used more than a dozen of them hidden in her sleeves. Paper talismans were thrown out one after another.

The Xin siblings have quite different personalities, but their methods of offering sacrifices to talismans are very similar. They are both lavish, thinking that the faster, the better.

There is no need to say the level of these talismans. They were all written by Longbinhui's ninth-level crown talisman master. They contain the spells widely spread by Kun Chaos, and their power is increased several times.

If a real great talisman master performs the talisman sacrifice, these dozen or so spells can be invisible to the naked eye. Even an ordinary talisman master can perform the talisman sacrifice steadily and accurately as long as he is proficient in the talisman sacrifice method. The enemy was hard to guard against, but Xin Youxun greatly overestimated his ability to sacrifice talismans. The series of talisman sacrifices were made with earth-shattering sounds, filled with smoke, and radiant light. The momentum was astonishing, but the actual power was greatly reduced.

But she sacrificed the talisman after all, which frightened the five monks. They flew up to avoid it. She immediately reached into her bag and took out more talismans. She didn't have time to look at them carefully before she sacrificed them again.

After the initial panic, the five monks found the biggest flaw of this female talisman master. Her accuracy was too poor. She was almost aimless. The spells she sacrificed were powerful on the surface. They were enough to deal with mortals who could only move left and right, forward and backward. It was far from enough to attack monks who could fly at will.

Xin Youxun sacrificed the second round of talismans. It was both offensive and defensive. Although the accuracy was a little worse, the distribution range was not small. A talisman shield hit two long swords in succession, and actually blocked the attack and disappeared together with the enemy's spells.

"Brother Liao, the magic of a stupid woman is not stupid at all." A monk laughed.

Taoist priest Liao blushed and cast several spells, all of which were transformed into swords. In addition to Chen Guanhuo, three other Taoist priests also joined the battle, with fireballs, ice spikes, and stones.

Xin Youxun could not stop it.

Zeng Fu shook his head helplessly and patted the donkey on the back, "Go ahead, broom, it seems that I can't hide you until the end."

The donkey raised its front hooves, landed heavily, and suddenly jumped up, passing through the smoke created by Xin Youxun, and restored its original form - a unicorn with shining silver horns.

The broom has not yet fully grown, but its body is much larger than the donkey. Different objects are wrapped around its two silver horns, a small sword on the right horn, a small mirror on the left horn, and a copper bell hanging around its neck. They are not just decorations, but very high-grade magic tools.

Zeng Fu dared to take Xin Youxun away from the imperial capital because of the broom. Its spirituality was much worse than that of Pangshan Iron Kirin, but after being strengthened by Zuo Liuying himself with the method of refining beasts, it had made progress in transformation. Although it had not yet formed an inner elixir, it was no longer an ordinary Kirin. The three magic tools on his body were also given by Zuo Liuying. Any one of them was a treasure of grade eight or above, enough to make Taoists excited and monks jealous.

Using a broom to deal with five ordinary monks who were unprepared was really a bit of a waste of talent.

Just a few feet off the ground, the two silver horns of the broom shot out white light respectively, attacking two monks. The five people had already relaxed their guard. They never thought that the "stupid woman" not only had a good talisman, but also a good mount, and was transformed from a Kirin. They didn't even see any flaws before.

The cultivator surnamed Liao and another cultivator were the closest, and were hit by the white light almost at the same time, falling to the ground with screams. While Chen Guanhuo and the other three were stunned, the Qilin had already rushed over, and sent out two more white lights to hit two people, and finally knocked Chen Guanhuo flying.

The white light emitted by the broom was not a spell of a high-level Taoist priest, and it was clearly visible. If the five cultivators had been prepared, they would not have been so easily hit, but they were too careless. Instead of retreating to increase the distance, they slowly approached, and they didn't even have time to turn around and run away.

Xin Youxun stopped offering the talisman, and finally believed that what Zeng Fu said before was correct: the casual cultivators and talisman masters of Xijie Country did deliberately give in when fighting, and when it came to a life-and-death fight, she was as clumsy as a talisman who had just started, and this clumsiness could not be compensated by how powerful the talisman was.

"From now on, I will practice offering the talisman well." Xin Youxun said.

Zeng Fu laughed, called back the broom, and let it lead the way to the four seriously injured monks who fell to the ground. There were continuous screams in the air, and Chen Guanhuo also fell down, landing not far in front of Zeng Fu.

"I recognize you, you are... you are Miss Zeng, is this Pangshan Iron Unicorn? Could this be... could this be..." Chen Guanhuo had escorted the princess of Xijie Kingdom to Beijing for her marriage, and had seen Zeng Fu several times, and remembered her voice, but he did not dare to say the three words "Queen Xun", his face had changed drastically, and he had forgotten that his chest was bleeding. The other four monks also reluctantly kept silent. Although they did not know who "Miss Zeng" was, they did not dare to underestimate her at all.

Zeng Fu snorted disdainfully, "You are ignorant. Is this an iron unicorn? It is obviously a silver-horned unicorn. Forget it, let me ask you, how many pregnant women have you captured? Where are they hidden?"

"There are only fourteen in total, all underground, I will release them immediately..."

"Only fourteen? How many more do you want to capture? I used to think you were a good person, but it turns out that you have such a bad heart. Yang Qingyin and Mu Xingqiu should not have saved you."

Chen Guanhuo and other casual cultivators were once hunted down by the Longbin Society. It was Mu and Yang who helped them clear their names. Hearing the accusation, Chen Guanhuo blushed, "I was deceived by the traitor..."

Zeng Fu With a snort, he turned to Xin Youxun and said, "Lady, what should we do? He has recognized our identities. Is he going to kill us to silence us?"

Xin Youxun came over on a donkey. Although the sacrifice failed, she was still more of a "master" than Zeng Fu. "Wait a moment. Chen Guanhuo, the Taoist Tower stopped the spell this morning, and the Taoists have always been secretive. How did you know they were looking for the Taoist roots?"

Recognizing Queen Xun, Chen Guanhuo lost his fighting spirit. He sat up with pain and took off a copper gourd from his back. "It told me."

Zeng Fu took a closer look. "This seems to be something from the Taoists."
