Chapter 203 Borrowing the Kirin
Yang Qingyin stood in the inn yard, looking up at the sky, looking dissatisfied, "He hasn't left yet, I really want a fireball to shoot him down."
Mu Xingqiu just walked in and looked up at the sky, "He is observing."
"What to observe?"
"See if the people in this city are panicked."
"Then he will definitely be satisfied. These mortals are pitifully timid. When they heard that the demon soldiers were really going to come, they shouted endlessly. In just a while, our neighbors had run away. The owner just came and said that he wanted to sell the inn. I hesitated for a while and then ran away. Now, this inn belongs to us completely. Hey, no one disturbs or cooks."
Mu Xingqiu smiled, and the others in the room also walked out when they heard the sound, looking angrily at the flying demon still hovering in the sky.
"This is a good thing." Mu Xingqiu raised his voice, "The entire Duanliu City has become chaotic, and a large number of residents fled to Dongjieguo. In this way, the demons will think that this is an ordinary small city and may postpone the attack."
Everyone understands the truth, but it is still difficult to accept emotionally. A flying demon is hovering above his head, but they cannot take action. It has only been two days since the Old Ancestor Peak was broken, and nearly 400 Taoist priests of Pangshan died. The surviving disciples cannot remain indifferent.
"We chose to protect the Patriarch Tower." Mu Xingqiu emphasized his tone slightly, "Don't show off for a moment, it will ruin a big deal."
Yang Qingyin snorted, feeling that this sentence was mainly directed at her. She really wanted to cast spells, so she stepped into the house and the others dispersed one after another. Only Shen Hao stayed, "There may be an echo in Wandi Mountain tomorrow. The high Taoist priests there will be here soon."
"That's the best, but don't have too much hope."
"Why? Do you also suspect that other Taoist sects are going to seize the Patriarch's Tower?"
"The attack of the demon clan is very powerful. I am worried that Wandi Mountain will not be able to protect itself and will not be able to spend energy to protect the ancestor tower."
"It's better for the Grand Master to come back from Luanjing Mountain. Pang Shan was destroyed. He couldn't not know about such a big thing. Maybe he was looking for the whereabouts of the Grand Master Tower everywhere." Shen Hao paused for a moment, lowered his voice and said, "Don't you find it strange?"
"What's strange?"
"He doesn't seem to be in a hurry to see the Grandmaster at all." Shen Hao pointed to the room on the edge of the east wing, which was Zuo Liuying's residence, and no one was allowed to approach it. In order to eliminate the noise, he even put a layer of protective cover that ordinary people could not see. Only ordinary flying demons were hovering in the sky. Otherwise, this magic alone would be enough to expose the Taoist priests of Pangshan.
"No one can guess what he is thinking." Mu Xingqiu had long given up judging Zuo Liuying. This unique Taoist priest, who is an alternative even in the Taoist family, is like a creature completely different from humans, with a handsome face of seventeen or eighteen years old. His thoughts and thoughts are not at all similar to humans.
"I didn't expect you to believe him so much." Shen Hao was surprised. He still remembered that Mu Xingqiu was very disgusted with Zuo Liuying back then. "You have changed. Although Xiaoqiu in Yelin Town is impulsive, he is full of enthusiasm. Now Mu Xingqiu... You are as ruthless as a high-level Taoist priest, Pangshan has fallen. Even if the Grandmaster and the Ancestor Tower are still there, the Old Ancestor Peak is gone, and those Taoists can't survive, but you don't seem to care at all."
Chen Hao was a little indignant. He knew that such accusation was not fair, but he was holding his breath and had to vent it.
"If necessary, I will be enthusiastic." Mu Xingqiu stared at Chen Hao's slender eyes. The two have been dissatisfied with each other since childhood and have always fought over and over again. He has gained the upper hand in recent years, but the fight is far from over. "Now our mission is to ensure that the demon clan will not discover the whereabouts of the ancestor tower. It would be best if there is a reply from Wandi Mountain tomorrow, but we can only prepare as there is no reinforcements. From the moment we decide to escape, we are doing things we don't like. This will still be the case in the next few days."
Chen Hao's eyes became vicious, as if he was going to pounce on him and fight Mu Xingqiu like he did when he was a child, but he was no longer a child. The practice of the precepts department had a complete transformation on him. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't say this. Now is not the time to suspect each other. Let me help you. I still owe you a favor."
Mu Xingqiu smiled. The two of them had made a bet to see who reached the third level of breathing first. Chen Hao lost. The bet was that he would agree no matter what Mu Xingqiu asked for. It has been more than a year, and Mu Xingqiu had not spoken about it. "I want to keep this favor, but I don't want to waste it on the Patriarch Tower."
Chen Hao also smiled, and then he asked: "Zuo Liuying's assistant is Lan Qizhang, why did he pull Fangfang in?"
Zuo Liuying was in the house and constantly repairing the Patriarch Tower. Lan Qizhang, Zeng Fu and Fangfang were called in. It had been two days and one night. Only Fangfang and Zeng Fu came out occasionally, and the other two did not eat or drink.
"She is also a disciple of the Ban Secretology Department."
Chen Hao grabbed Mu Xingqiu's arm and said seriously: "I heard some rumors that Lan Qizhang wanted to have a relationship with Fangfang, and Yang Qingyin was working hard to match this matter."
"So what?" Mu Xingqiu shrugged. He never took this seriously.
Chen Hao seemed quite surprised and quickly calmed down, "Anyway, this is your business. What are you going to do next? I don't want to be so idle."
"I want to borrow the three unicorns from Zuo Liuying."
"Ah?" Chen Hao was even more surprised.
"The defenders of Duanliu City are vulnerable. The most important thing is that they are afraid of demon soldiers and dare not go out of the city to fight. I have to find a way to make them stronger."
Mu Xingqiu showed weakness on one hand and prepared for war on the other hand. He didn't need to be a general and understood this truth.
"The Kirin has this function?"
"There are Qilin generals in the Xuanfu Army, which are very small in number, but have a great impact on morale. There is only one Qilin left in Duanliu City, so I want to borrow the three Pangshan heads for use as royal holy beasts. Then you, Xin Youtao and I will be Qilin generals."
Chen Hao understood Mu Xingqiu's idea, but he didn't have much hope. "Think about it, there are nearly 400 Taoist priests and countless rare treasures in the Old Ancestor Peak. Zuo Liuying can take them away but he doesn't take them away. But he just looked at these three Qilins with a different look. It's not easy to borrow them."
Mu Xingqiu smiled, "Just try it out."
He walked to Zuo Liuying's residence, found the invisible shield with his Tianmu, and reached out and pressed it lightly twice.
After a while, Fangfang walked out of the room, smiled at the two of them, and asked softly: "Is there anything wrong?"
Mu Xingqiu pointed to the sky, "The envoy of the demon clan has come to issue a letter of war. I want to borrow Zuo Liuying's three-headed unicorn for use."
Fangfang nodded and turned around and went in.
Chen Hao looked around and suddenly understood why Mu Xingqiu didn't take Lan Qizhang to heart. He and Fangfang had already understood each other to such a deep level that they could understand all the other's thoughts in just one or two sentences. He lowered his head and held back a sigh in his heart.
The next thing was Lan Qizhang, who looked at the two young Taoists seriously. "Do you want to use Qilin to boost morale?"
Mu Xingqiu nodded, "That's it."
"The best choice is to prevent the demon clan from paying attention to this small town."
"Of course, Kirins are preparing for the worst, and I hope they will never be used."
"You can take the Qilin away, but you must ensure that you cannot let the Qilin fall into a scale."
"I promise."
"Do you know how to feed Qilin?"
"I've fed the horses."
"It's completely different. Kirin likes to eat fruits and tender grass, and must be soaked in water, and feed them golden shavings and silver shavings every morning."
"Gold shavings and silver shavings?"
Lan Qizhang handed Mu Xingqiu a cloth bag, "It's all here, don't have too many, just feed it, and there should be less small Qilin."
"Okay. I've recorded it."
Lan Qizhang turned around and returned to the room, but Fangfang did not come out again.
The three-headed Qilin lived in the next room and enjoyed the same treatment as the Taoist priests, but they could not leave the house casually. A little Taoist priest was responsible for the care and feeding. He was already tired of it. He heard that Mu Xingqiu was going to take them away, so he left happily.
Chen Hao was unhappy. "I borrowed the Qilin to protect the ancestor's tower, and Lan Qizhang looked like we were begging him."
"That's what Zuo Liuying looks like, it's good that he's willing to agree."
The Qilin is taller than an ordinary horse, and looks even bigger when standing in the room. As the favorite spirit beast of the Forbidden Secret Department, they look ferocious and have giant teeth and yellow eyes. The heavy breathing sound from their nostrils seems like a threat. The Xiao Qilin recognized Mu Xingqiu, walked over, stuck out his tongue and licked it on his face to show closeness, leaving a shiny wet mark. Chen Hao stood at the door, trying hard to control his face without showing a disgust.
Mu Xingqiu smiled and wiped the saliva from his face with his sleeves, gently stroked the little Qilin's neck in the direction of the growth of the scales. During the whole process, the two adult Qilins were closely monitoring.
"Come on, it's time for you to show your might. See if you are more powerful than war horses."
After nightfall, the flying demon in the sky left Duanliu City. Mu Xingqiu and Shen Hao took the three-headed Qilin to the military camp in the city. The streets were silent and there was no one. The residents in the city either fled to Dongjieguo or closed their doors and never went to the streets.
"Without the Taoist dynasty, the entire human race will be conquered by the demon race." Chen Hao snorted, "What's ridiculous is that most people don't even know the existence of the Taoist dynasty."
The barracks were brightly lit, people came and went, and they seemed to have a high fighting spirit, but after listening carefully, you will know that the soldiers were already scared and overwhelmed, and they were more concerned about the route of escape than the direction of the battle.
Huang Duwei was trying hard to suppress the soldiers' commotion. When General Mu arrived, he breathed a sigh of relief. When he saw the three kirins behind him, he was even more overjoyed. His eyes shone and shouted loudly: "Look, the kirins from the capital, fight against hundreds of them, what else do you have to fear?"
The soldiers surrounded him and exclaimed, "Is this the royal qilin? It's really... it's really..."
The three-headed unicorn raised their heads proudly, and no one other than the two Taoist priests were allowed to get too close, as if they were the generals inspecting the barracks.
Mu Xingqiu felt something was wrong. These soldiers seemed to have never seen a kirin before. "Isn't there a kirin left in Duanliu City? Where?"
The soldiers were embarrassed to make way and revealed an animal behind them.
"This is obviously a deer." Mu Xingqiu said in surprise.
"This is also a Qilin, called 'Hairy Qilin'. Look, it has scales on it." Huang Duwei pushed away a piece of yellow hair on the animal's body, revealing something that looked like a scar and a scale.
In front of the real Qilin, Duanliu City's "two differences" were trembling, and the feces and urine flowed in the same flow. Huang Duwei hurriedly ordered someone to take it away.
There is nothing to offer in Duanliu City. Mu Xingqiu stood beside the little Qilin, facing a group of panicked Xuanfu soldiers and said, "You have nowhere to escape. This is a war between the demon clan and humanity. The twelve vassal states and the holy fu dynasty will be involved in the war."
With a few thumps, a group of soldiers sat down on the ground and burst into tears.
