Gan Zhiwei stood straight, his chin slightly raised. The Xiaoyao rope tied to his body did not seem like a bondage, but rather like a decoration. He looked down on the small group of people in front of him with a proud look, and he looked like a real Taoist priest than ever, "I'm right."

His tone was more confident than ever, "The Taoist dynasty will prove this."

This is a snow cave, created by Zuo Liuying, and his suggestion was approved by everyone: leave Zhou Qianhui on the ground to see if he can really attract the attack of the Taoist sect within seven days, while others followed Zuo Liuying into the underground.

The snow cave was winding and filled with dusk-like glimmer. There were many indented rooms on both sides. Gan Zhiwei's "cell" was located in the deepest part. The small group of Taoist priests standing in front of him, including his brother Gan Zhiquan, came to watch Mu Xingqiu perform the Demon Lord's Dharma.

Gan Zhiwei, after becoming a demon, was even more fearless. He stared at Mu Xingqiu, who was closest to him, "You are already a demon. When you decide to take the demon-making pill, you are destined to be like this. You find a hiding place in the Ice City, but this is not enough. You also have to turn all the demon-invading Taoist priests into monsters."

Mu Xingqiu had seen the stubbornness and delusion of the demon Taoist priest, so he did not argue, summoned the black-patterned straw hat, walked to Gan Zhiwei's side, and put the straw hat on his head.

He had already told the demon invading Taoist priests, especially Gan Zhiquan, that the magic master on the straw hat was not complete and it was likely to leave hidden dangers, but Zhiquan still insisted on casting spells on his younger brother as soon as possible, because he did not want the accident to happen, his younger brother was still controlled by the demon mind.

"Taoist Gan Zhiquan!" Gan Zhiwei called out his brother's name, "Wake up and see what you are doing! I am a disciple of the Hongshan Forbidden Secretary Department, your younger brother, but you personally gave me to the demon clan. Taoist priests, Gan Zhiquan has lost his heart and is played with by Mu Xingqiu, and you are still awake. Remember this moment, remember the torture I have endured, don't follow my footsteps. Beware of demons! Beware of Mu..."

Mu Xingqiu had already had the experience of casting spells on Gan Zhiquan, so this time, there was no need to drag the mud and water, and the straw hat was automatically windless. The black magic text passed through Gan Zhiquan's whole body and instantly returned to the straw hat.

Gan Zhiwei slowly fell down, Gan Zhiquan took a step forward and supported his younger brother. He let him sit against the wall.

"When he wakes up, the demonic thoughts will disappear." Mu Xingqiu said to the seven or eight Taoist priests at the door that they were not only coming to watch, but also doing evaluations.

"The heart of Tao will also disappear, and the inner alchemy will be transformed into another thing. I don't know what to call this thing, but it is definitely not a demon pill, because it still produces Taoist magic power, which can also be used to cast Taoist magic."

A Taoist priest walked up to Gan Zhiwei. He reached out to find out his breath, pressed his thumb on his forehead for a while, turned his head to say to his companions, "He is really dead."

The Taoists looked at each other and silently retreated. No one knew what impact this observation had on them.

"I'll stay here with him." Gan Zhiquan said, and his eyes looked at his younger brother showed obvious pity, which was an emotion that he would never show or even cut off as a Taoist priest.

Mu Xingqiu nodded and left alone. Bald man waited not far away, followed him silently. Suddenly, "I don't like these Taoist priests."

"Why?" Mu Xingqiu did not stop and continued to move forward in the winding snow cave.

"They...they...they...changed." The bald man said umblingly, rushed to Mu Xingqiu, and flew backwards as he faced him, "I became both calculating and suspicious, and I didn't believe anyone, but I didn't have my own ideas. It seemed that everyone owed them. I asked me to tell me that Brother Xiaoqiu should leave them alone, and then..."

There were Taoist priests living in the rooms that were sunken on both sides. When the bald man was excited, he didn't care whether others could hear it. He accidentally bumped into the ice snow around the corner and screamed, forgetting what he was going to say.

Mu Xingqiu reached out and turned the bald man over so that he could see the road, "Do you still remember the people in Yelin Town?"

"Of course, that's our hometown, and most of the people with the surname Mu and Chen are. I always think that if Yelin Town is still there, our Mu family will finally be able to surpass the Shen family. Why? Because there is Brother Xiaoqiu..."

The bald man was innocent and said it endlessly when he mentioned Yelin Town. He recalled a lot of past events and forgot his dissatisfaction with the Taoist priest of Demon Invasion.

Mu Xingqiu kept listening and remembering many things, even the scene of himself being beaten up by his father seemed so warm.

The bald man said almost, and asked in surprise: "Brother Xiaoqiu, what are you talking about Yelin Town?"

Mu Xingqiu smiled, "You think everything is fine in Yelin Town, but have you ever thought that these Taoist priests' concerns and suspicions are very similar to those in Yelin Town. They were actually unique in the past, but we have been in Pangshan for a long time and have forgotten what ordinary mortals look like."

"Is that true? Why don't I feel..." The bald man thought for a while, and became speechless. He flew forward silently, almost hitting the snow wall again. Mu Xingqiu reached out and pushed him away.

"Are we the ones who changed?" said Bald man half-believingly, "I... can never go back to Pangshan again, nor can I call myself a disciple of Pangshan, right?"

"You are still a disciple of Pangshan, but you can't go back to Pangshan."

The bald man smiled, "The place with Brother Xiaoqiu, Xiao Qingtao, Zuo Liuying and Fleas is Pangshan. Alas, it would be great if I and Shen Hao were there too. Let's set up the new Pangshan ourselves!"

Mu Xingqiu pushed the bald man forward, secretly thinking about what step the relationship between these people in the snow cave and Taoist dynasty would have taken. Did they never think about betraying Taoist dynasty, or even dedicate themselves to Taoist dynasty, just because they might be exploited by the demon seeds and would be killed?

The Taoist sect in Mu Xingqiu's impression would not do such a thing, but he has always been a marginal figure in the Taoist sect. How much truth can he know? Is this the so-called truth of the dragon demon? Think about it carefully, since he met the dragon demon again, he has been getting further and further away from the Taoist sect...

"Mu Xingqiu." Xin Youtao waved to Mu Xingqiu in the snow room next to him.

"What's the matter?" Mu Xingqiu walked in.

The bald man flew around Xin Youtao, "Well, you can be the first talisman department." He was still fantasizing about Xinpang Mountain.

Xin Youtao didn't understand what the bald man was saying, so he laughed perfunctorily and said to Mu Xingqiu seriously: "What should I do if Xiao Qingtao?"

"Um?"

"I mean, if the Taoist sect is really like Zuo Liuying said, Xiao Qingtao would... be implicated."

Mu Xingqiu understood that Xiao Qingtao was still a disciple of Pangshan and had never been attacked by the demon seeds. There was still a possibility of returning to Pangshan. "In seven days, I will persuade her to leave."

Xin Youtao's face suddenly turned red, "Don't get me wrong. This is not what Xiao Qingtao means, it was what I told you on my own initiative, and I will stay."

Mu Xingqiu patted Xin Youtao on the shoulder. The prince has never been a brave person. It is already rare to be able to go so far with Xiao Qingtao. "With you, Xiao Qingtao will be more lonely and dangerous. Don't worry about the rules of the Tao, let alone the rules of the royal family. These things cannot make you Xin Youtao."

Xin Youtao was stunned for a while and shook his head, "I won't leave. At least I won't leave until everything is done in the Ice City. This is my decision, Xin Youtao's decision!"

Mu Xingqiu nodded and left. After walking a distance, the bald man asked in confusion: "What does Xin Youtao mean? Should he leave or stay? Is he unwilling to be the head of the Talisman Department?"

"Give him some time and he will think it through."

The bald man frowned, not understanding what to think about. For him, things were simple and clear, and he would follow Brother Xiaoqiu, and no one would think of taking him away.

Zuo Liuying's room is located on the other end of the snow cave. In order to accommodate fleas, it is taller than other rooms. Xiao Hao is holding Youliao and teasing fleas. She has made up her mind to make every effort to make Qilin closer to her. When she saw Mu Xingqiu and Bald Zi come in, she just nodded casually, and her attention is still on the fleas.

Zuo Liuying was sitting in the air with his back against the wall, with seven magic weapons in front of him, including mirrors, bells, lamps, candles, seals, beads and rulers. For him, it was easy to create a snow cave that could hold nearly a hundred people. It was the most difficult to avoid the tracking of Taoism, and he had to use the help of magic weapons.

Zuo Liuying was thinking about it while closing her eyes, and Mu Xingqiu stood in front of him and waited. After a while, the bald man felt bored and wanted to play with Xiaohao and fleas, but he forced himself to hold it back, thinking that he would never leave Xiaoqiu halfway like Xin Youtao.

After half an hour, Zuo Liuying opened her eyes, and Xiao Hao walked over reluctantly and spoke for him: "Zuo Liuying asked you to take out your straw hat."

Mu Xingqiu took out his black-patterned straw hat. Zuo Liuying liked to be mysterious, but it also had an advantage. He didn't have to go around talking to him. He either said or said it, wouldn't beat around the bush, and was very good at guessing what the other party was thinking.

The bronze mirror in front of Zuo Liuying flew to a foot above the straw hat. Only then did Mu Xingqiu notice that both sides of the bronze mirror could shine on people, without a back or inscription.

The bronze mirror shot out two rays of light, one covering the straw hat, and the other ray did not point to Mu Xingqiu, but shone on the bald man.

"Wow, what a good mirror." The bald man said in a daze, stretching out his three strands of hair, "What should I do to get such a mirror?"

Zuo Liuying obviously wanted to put the bald mark on the straw hat. Mu Xingqiu was about to stop him, but Xiao Hao spoke, "Zuo Liuying said that the Demon Lord’s Dharma is ominous, you cannot put the mark on it. Mu Songxuan can, because... because he has no intention and is sentient being, and is not affected by the magic spells."

Mu Xingqiu nodded.

"'Nothing intent but affectionate', haha, it's quite interesting, what about me?" Xiao Hao turned around and asked Zuo Liuying, waited for a while, and showed a look of dissatisfaction.

"You said I am heartless but ruthless? Who said I am ruthless? I have so many feelings... When I grow up and make a connection with you, you will know."

The spell to impose a mark on the straw hat is still in progress, Mu Xingqiu asked: "Why did the Taoist sect kill us? It's just because we might be exploited by the demon species?"

Xiao Hao waited for a while, "No, Zuo Liuying said there is a more important reason, but this memory was removed, but he will remember that you are the key to his memory."
