Chapter 488 Amber and the Taoist priest
(Thanks to the red reward of the sub-version "Muzijen".)
The past flashed one by one on the surface of the Lake of Mind, like a group of migratory birds rushing south to spend the winter, but they will never stay here to rest again.
Sun Yulu, a Taoist priest from Luanjingshan, looked at the huge amber from a distance. She said that the person inside had disappeared, but she always felt that she had seen something vaguely. She smiled. The Taoist heart could not forget the past deeds and emotions, but would not feel turbulent because of this. She felt ridiculous about it, and at the same time she missed a little, just like an adult remembering the scene of playing with mud when she was a child.
She stood on a low mountain peak, and the land under her feet was not growing in no grass, revealing large pieces of rock. What swept the flowers, plants and soil into nothing was not the autumn wind, but the war yesterday. At the foot of the mountain was the old place of Laozu Peak, like a dry lake, with amber floating in the middle, three feet above the ground, shining with glimmer, and no longer had the magical effect of absorbing various powers.
A large group of Taoist priests flew over the amber, and one of them left the team and flew towards Sun Yulu.
Mu Xingqiu fell on another rock, dozens of steps away from the Taoist priest of Luanjingshan. The two saluted each other.
"You are going to the land of demons now?" Sun Yulu asked. The Taoist priests had already flew away and did not specifically wait for Mu Xingqiu.
"Well, everything has been arranged, and everyone thinks that the earlier you leave, the better." Mu Xingqiuyuan wanted to set off earlier. The longer the Demon Invasion Taoist priests stayed, the more suspicious it was. It would be better to leave early and leave a good impression on each other, but he was delayed by some miscellaneous things and had to wait all night.
"I seem to see Zuo Liuying. He wants to continue to supervise you to transform into demons, right?"
"Not only that, he also needs to continue practicing."
"Continue to practice?" Sun Yulu was shocked, "I thought... didn't he encounter a sigh disaster?"
"He probably found a way to crack it. Zuo Liuying would not explain it much. He just asked the bald man to tell us that he would never speak again in the future and no one would bother him."
This is indeed Zuo Liuying's style. Sun Yulu smiled, "Zuo Liuying is an introverted Taoist priest. Why doesn't he find a place to live in seclusion? Following you is not just to supervise the transformation of demons, right?"
"We all want to find Yi Shijun. It's just the way."
"To eliminate the devil?"
Qi Wushang collected five demon seeds, which caused great trouble to the Taoist priests. It showed that Wangshan’s guards were becoming more and more relaxed, and the number of demon seeds that escaped were increasing. The return of the demons was no longer an unknown prophecy, but a process that had begun, and the Taoist priests were deeply shocked. The Taoist priests could no longer say that this was the matter behind them, and began to prepare for the battle to eliminate demons seriously. Zuo Liuying’s magic control technique was one of the methods.
"In order to eliminate demons, the demon species has weaknesses, but Zuo Liuying's magic control technique is based on the blood sacrifice of the demon clan. It is too expensive. The old wounds have not healed and new injuries are added. We think that there may be secrets in the Dharma Lord's Dharma, which can improve the magic control technique. Only the strange Shijun can crack it."
Ban Yao Yin Buchen claimed that he could crack the Dharma of the Demon Lord. The facts proved that it was difficult for him to even understand the literal meaning. Zuo Liuying was proficient in the magic text. He had read the original text on the scroll, but he could not understand the mystery. It was a long record describing the growth and division of the demon seeds, and there was no specific method.
Zuo Liuying felt that the opposition between the Taoist demons was too serious to understand each other, and the demon clan, which had a close connection with the demon clan, might be able to comprehend the Dharma from a novel perspective. This monster was by no means Yin Buchen, nor was it the dead Qi Wushang. Only Lao Yi Shijun, the strange old monster who excavated countless ancient magic and gave it at will.
Taoism attaches great importance to the strange Shijun and has been looking for it for several years. Zuo Liuying thinks it is not enough. He wants to take action himself to see this mysterious old monster.
Sun Yulu nodded. Actually, she didn't care much about these things. She looked at Amber in the distance again, "Is he really dead?"
"The moment I turned into amber Taoist priest, the Mengdu scholar was already dead. All that was left was a shadow. I saw it with my own eyes inside. After touching it, the shadow disappeared."
"He always likes to take dangerous roads, and he doesn't know whether he is a sinner or a hero of the Taoist dynasty?"
Mu Xingqiu thought for a while, "At least the amber he left was still a treasure. Although it could not absorb mana, the power accumulated in it was already enough, and Yashan would take it away soon."
"Yashan? Why not Pangshan?"
"Because Pangshan wants a large number of new disciples, Xijieguo will not restore its former population for a long time, so Pangshan exchanged amber for the right to select disciples within Yashan. Moreover, Yashan sent out the sword washing pond and made the greatest contribution. They felt that this was a reward they deserved."
Sun Yulu, who has the heart of a Taoist priest, couldn't help but feel a little sarcastic in her laughter, "Yes, Yashan does need amber more than other Taoist sects. Do they just allow you to take the bald man away?"
"The Taoist priests of Yashan cannot be untrustworthy. They have made a promise to Zuo Liuying not to hurt the bald man, but they also sent Zhou Qianhui, the first leader of the Yashan Shen Engineering Department, to join our team."
Zhou Qianhui's only task is to take him back to Yashan after he dies.
Mu Xingqiu came over to see Sun Yulu for these gossips. He was about to say something important when several Taoist priests flew from afar and came directly towards the mountain.
The first one to fall was Xiao Qingtao, "Fortunately you didn't go far, I want to go to the land of demons with you."
Before Mu Xingqiu could answer, the second person arrived. Xin Youtao smiled and said, "As long as I am, Yashan has already sucked out the tide of anger for me. I'm fine now."
The third person was Xiao Hao, riding a flea, sleepy-eyed, not like a Taoist priest who condensed the air into a elixir. "Why don't you call me? Where is the bald man? I want to settle the score with him and promise he will wake me up..."
Seeing that the bald man was not here, Xiao Hao patted Qilin's neck and chased him to the north.
"The Taoist priests in this team will be devilish at any time..." The reason why Mu Xingqiu was unwilling to bring other people was because he was too risky. No one could guess what the Taoist priest would do. He would just take risks himself and didn't want his friends to take risks. As for Zuo Liuying and Zhou Qianhui, they all had tasks, so Mu Xingqiu was not responsible.
Xiao Qingtao interrupted Mu Xingqiu's words, "Just like a non-demon Taoist priest will betray at any time. I will be more comfortable with you, and I will also go and help Yang Qingyin."
Mu Xingqiu just advised Yang Qingyin's mother not to follow before leaving, but Xiao Qingtao was different. After this battle of Taoist demons, non-demons were increasingly suspicious in the Taoist throne and could hardly make friends. "Okay." Mu Xingqiu agreed and turned his eyes to Xin Youtao. He felt both natural and unexpected by his decision.
Xin Youtao seemed to have made up his mind to please Xiao Qingtao. He naturally would go wherever she went, but he dared to go with a group of demon-invading Taoist priests day and night with him. It was a bit beyond Mu Xingqiu's expectations.
Xin Youtao coughed and said seriously: "It seems that I will see the demons returning to the world alive. Since that's the case, why not get used to it earlier? I am the prince of Xijie Kingdom, or the talisman master, even if I am the representative of the mortal sent by mortals."
These words were spoken openly and neither Mu Xingqiu nor Xiao Qingtao could argue.
"Okay, you two are going with me, but this is not a promise or an obligation. You can leave at any time." Mu Xingqiu said.
Xiao Qingtao smiled, her star falls and Ruyi was destroyed. She changed into a new Ruyi, which was not very convenient, and her weapon flew up to chase the team ahead.
Xin Youtao blinked at Mu Xing and followed Xiao Qingtao closely. He was about to get another batch of talismans from the nearby human army, stepping on a huge plate like a shield. The flight speed was quite fast, so it would not be dropped by Xiao Qingtao.
"You have a few good friends." Sun Yulu smiled. "This is not like a Taoist priest who concentrates on practicing and pursues the origin of Taoist fire."
Some Taoist priests have a relatively close relationship, but between practice and friendship, the former always has the absolute advantage, and no Taoist priest even chooses the two. There is not only Xiao Qingtao, the non-demon disciple in the Taoist priest, but only she is willing to follow Mu Xingqiu to save Yang Qingyin. For Taoist priests, this is the behavior that is closest to friendship.
Shen Hao is another kind of friend. He has promised to lead the Demon Slaying Association to attack the land of the demons and reunite with Mu Xingqiu.
Mu Xingqiu smiled, "Listen to me, the Mengdu Sect is dead, but he left something behind."
"What?" Sun Yulu asked in surprise.
"The soul, the shadow in the middle of the amber is the soul of the Mengdu Sect. It is wrapped in amber and has not dissipated."
Sun Yulu was even more surprised. She was a Taoist priest from the Lanzhu Department and knew more about souls, but she had never heard of such things, nor had she read similar records in books that were as vast as a sea of smoke. Suddenly she understood something, "Have you sucked his soul into the Frost Soul Sword?"
Mu Xingqiu nodded, "The soul of Mengdu Sect is very unique, and the amber's suction comes from it. Zuo Liuying blessed some spells to the Frost Soul Sword and controlled this suction, so I can use the sword to absorb the magic seeds."
"What he thought in his heart was to practice and never regret it until death, so his soul continued to practice and turned his body into amber." Sun Yulu suddenly realized and felt a little lucky. If she had not passed the love disaster, she would probably be very sad at this time, because Meng Yuanhou had no place in her heart.
She glanced at Amber again.
"Why do you tell me this? This should be the secret between you and Zuo Liuying." Sun Yulu was a little confused.
Mu Xingqiu also looked at the amber in the distance. He suddenly decided to do this when he saw Sun Yulu's figure on the way. The Taoist heart would not make a person completely ruthless and abandon desires. He would not care about the past at all when he reached the realm of Xinglu or even the gods.
"When Zhou Qianhui saw me sucking the demon seeds with the Frost Soul Sword, the Taoist Yashan would guess the truth based on this sooner or later. They would catch up and ask me to hand over my soul, but I don't want to hand over it to them."
Yashan paid a considerable price to obtain the ownership of the Amber Taoist Priest. Of course, he wanted both "Amber" and "Taoist Priest". Mu Xingqiu did not want to hand over it, not only because he was more familiar with Meng Yuanhou, but also because his future was full of obstacles. He needed the art of staying with him. Moreover, Meng Yuanhou's soul absorbed various forces indiscriminately, which was also a reminder to the origin of Taoist fire.
Sun Yulu thought for a moment and smiled and said, "The demonic land is dangerous. Luanjing Mountain owes you a lot of favors. You can't repay you. Just give you a gift. But you can only use it quietly and never let anyone notice this gift."
Mu Xingqiu gave Sun Yulu the ritual of Taoism and thanked her for her help.
