Exorcism

Demonic fire, dragon rain, evil wind, corrupted wood, plague, rotten insects, and fierce mirage respectively represent panic, weakness, doubt, self-pity, distress, hatred, and sadness. The demon curse also focuses on attacking the heart. The cursed person must be tortured until life is worse than death before the final blow is given.

The next day after the evil wind, the number of fallen leaves suddenly increased in the city. Wherever there were people, even if there was no tree nearby, piles of fallen leaves would appear inexplicably. If you were not careful, a few more fallen leaves would appear, and the leaves themselves would fall down. There's nothing special about it, but if you stare at it for a long time, you'll feel desolate and feel that your whole life is dotted with a series of bad luck.

Mu Xingqiu walked through the streets, all on foot, and rarely ascended, so that he could feel the emotions of the whole city more clearly. Thanks to the curse, the people of Duanliu City were unanimous as never before, and they had no idea that they had just entered the first level of the illusion. , for Nianxin disciples whose spells are not yet powerful, this is a rare opportunity to gain experience, and they can easily touch the most superficial layer of the human heart.

Unless necessary, Mu Xingqiu rarely used magic to interfere with these emotions, and tried to use normal means to restore people's confidence. The Taoist priests were responsible for using magic weapons to explore the source of the witchcraft. The monks came in handy this time. Their gorgeous spells were extremely effective in attracting the attention of ordinary people.

Throughout the day, amazing sights could be seen everywhere in Duanliu City. Some monks were engaged in friendly fights. All kinds of huge and magnificent beasts were chasing and biting in the air. Big trees with lush branches and gleaming lights stood on the road. The piles of dead leaves on the side were dwarfed by comparison. One thoughtful monk even used the dead leaves as props to transform into groups of soldiers, which made the viewers overjoyed and thought that the reinforcements would be endless...

The self-pity that permeated the city was thus dispelled. After the prosperity, everyone still felt lonely in their hearts, but no one was deeply trapped in it. In the evening. Duanliu City was still filled with smoke, life was going on, and there was a new group of people volunteering to join the army at the gate of the military camp.

There are still many Xuanfu Army soldiers hiding among the refugees. After the daily curse, they did not become more timid or selfish. Instead, they felt guilty and voluntarily walked into the military camp to identify themselves.

The Taoist priests let go of the demon of dead leaves and self-pity because he really did no harm.

Only the monks felt tired. Their mixed inner elixirs were not enough to support long-term spell casting, even if it was just some flashy performance spells.

The monks complained more and more. Mu Xingqiu asked the Taoist priests to each take out a magic weapon and prepare to reward it to the best monk, but it would have to wait until the war is over.

Although they were just a group of inhaling Taoist priests, the magic weapon in their bags came from the treasures accumulated by Pangshan Wuzu Hall for many years. The grade was much higher than their main magic weapon. As soon as it was revealed, the monks' complaints were ended.

Shen Hao felt it was too wasteful, "Rogue cultivators are not worthy of such good magical weapons, and these magical weapons will have to be returned to Lan Qizhang in the future.

"He took out an unused orb, although it only belonged to him temporarily. When he handed it over, he was still reluctant to part with it.

"Zuo Liuying said he would let me make the decision." Mu Xingqiu said with a smile. He was entirely focused on how to fight the monster soldiers and had no nostalgia for these magical weapons. "My decision is to take a few magical weapons as rewards." ”

"Zuo Liuying must have many magic weapons hidden in his sleeves. There are a few of them." Xiao Qingtao didn't care and handed over a copper gourd. She had never figured out what the purpose of this thing was.

After the decaying wood comes the plague, and this curse is very harmful. Many people fell ill in the early hours, running hot and talking nonsense. There are some frightening prophecies that make the relatives and friends who take care of them pale.

Gorgeous magic performances are useless at this time. There is no clever way to easily relieve the troubles caused by the epidemic. The only way is to eliminate the root cause as soon as possible. Taoist priests and monks teamed up to fly to every corner of the city. In the end, Ouyang Hao was half-dead in one place. The little demons hidden in the city wall were found. They were a group of thumb-sized flying demons. They built a hollow nest among the bricks and stones, hiding in it and secretly casting spells.

After being exposed, this group of flying monsters ran away very fast, leaving dozens of corpses behind, and most of them escaped.

This was the shortest curse, less than an hour. After this, the relationship between the Taoist priests and the monks became closer. Even Shen Hao admitted that there were indeed some monks who were somewhat capable.

However, many people are confused as to where Qi Wushang found these strange monsters. The little flying monsters like this are only recorded in ancient books, named "Hidden Stones". When the number exceeds 10,000, they are extremely powerful. At least They haven't appeared in records for 30,000 years, but this time there are hundreds of them. Although they are not difficult to deal with, it is really surprising.

Several consecutive victories greatly boosted morale. When the rot worms arrived on the sixth day, the monks took the initiative and searched for the source throughout the city.

Rotworms are small, milky-white insects that can breed in almost anything. They can be found on clothing, furniture, houses, etc., as long as they are not gold or stone.

But the demon who cast the spell has most likely escaped. There is no trace of him inside or outside the city, only the insects that keep pouring out.

This is a battle that everyone participates in. After trying many tricks such as sweeping, burning, and crushing, a Taoist priest found that the most effective method was water. He could not soak it or wash it. Instead, he used his fingers to dip his hands in water. Draw a circle around the bug. The circle should not be too big. Once the bug is cornered, it will melt by itself, leaving almost no trace.

Rot bugs should have brought hatred, but in Broken Current City, they caused joy. People swept the bugs into a pile, then drew circles with water, watching them disappear one by one like magic, and applauded. cheers.

The demon blood baby's curse was completely defeated, but the demon clan still refused to stop. On the last day, a "fierce mirage" appeared in the sky: a thick sea of ​​clouds stopped over Duanliu City, constantly changing shapes, and various mirages appeared. It was a vivid scene of demon soldiers burning, killing and looting. Many people looked up to the sky and cried bitterly because they saw the destruction of their hometown and the tragic death of their relatives.

"Duanliu City is an isolated city. Even the people who fled here are lonely and have lost their loved ones." Xiao Qingtao, who has always been lively, almost couldn't control herself. She saw the scene of Furong Mountain being swallowed up by fire, and even saw many things Someone he had known since childhood was brutally killed by demon soldiers.

But she is a Taoist priest. She will not cry to express sadness like ordinary people. Instead, she smiles and says to the Taoist priests standing together: "Didn't Zuo Liuying ask us to defend Duanliu City with a death heart? He can rest assured. ”

The mirage lasted for three hours before disappearing, and there was a lot of crying in Duanliu City, but the self-pity, distress, and hatred of the past few days did not take shape. The last step of grief was not as good as the demon tribe's wish. That afternoon, a large number of people gathered at the gate of the military camp again, this time asking to join the army.

Mu Xingqiu persuaded most of them to retreat. He remembered the words of veteran Pan Sanye. Soldiers trust each other on the battlefield because they understand each other's tactics and strength. Too many recruits with no combat experience will only undermine the veterans. The care between them divided the entire army into sections. Give the demon soldiers every opportunity to defeat them.

Of course, the Taoist priests had not forgotten it. Mu Xingqiu still arranged for at least one person to go out to patrol the city every day.

In fact, the demon soldiers arrived yesterday, stopped two hundred miles away, and set up camp with the protection of the unclean air. Treat the small Broken River City with unusual caution.

"There are at least ten thousand demon soldiers." Shen Hao, who was the first to discover the enemy's camp, immediately flew back to Duanliu City, "They brought a small mountain of demon fire."

This is the most important reason why the demon soldiers move slowly. The speed of the Demonic Fire Mountain has been decreasing after it ran over the Old Ancestor Peak, turning it from the front line in the southwest to the Duanliu City in the southeast. It took a lot of time.

Mu Xingqiu personally went out of the city to check. It was getting harder and harder for his Third Eye to penetrate the thick unclean air. However, the Demonic Fire Mountain two hundred miles away was still clearly visible. Its size was different from the one that crushed the Old Ancestor Peak. And words. But it is still about twenty feet high, roughly conical in shape, and cannot roll on its own. It depends on the promotion of magic and external force. The demon fire is burning in the mountain. It is not difficult to use it to flatten Duanliu City.

Thousands of demon soldiers plus a mountain of demon fire are enough to fight a huge Tao demon battle. The entire defense force of Duanliu City is only a few Pangshan Taoist priests and talisman masters, more than a hundred monks and nearly a thousand Xuanmen. The Fu Army soldiers, but the Demon Army were not in a hurry to attack. They seemed to be waiting for something.

In the evening of the same day, the envoy of the demon army arrived, and it was Yin Yu who defeated the east. He accepted the lesson learned last time and stayed far away from the city wall. He loudly announced that the demon army would attack in five days and that Duanliu City should be prepared for destruction. , "The demon tribe will give you the opportunity to gather reinforcements, if you can find them."

The reason given by the demon soldiers was high-sounding. After careful observation, Mu Xingqiu and others discovered that the real reason was that the mountain of demonic fire had exhausted its forward strength and needed to rest and recharge its magic.

"Ten thousand demon soldiers alone are enough to break through Duanliu City, why do we have to wait for the Demon Fire Mountain?" Shen Hao didn't understand the demon soldiers' actions.

"The demon army not only wants to capture Duanliu City, they want to invade Dongjie Kingdom in one go." Mu Xingqiu guessed the demon army's purpose, which was just to capture Duanliu City. There is really no need for such a huge force. The demon clan is I want to take advantage of the situation and open up another battlefield.

"Even so, Dongjie Kingdom still refused to send reinforcements. I saw that they were busy digging ditches and building walls." Shen Hao was filled with indignation, and even looked a little less like a Taoist priest.

It has been ten days. Even if Yang Qingyin cannot find a Taoist priest to help, she should be back, but there has been no news. Xiao Qingtao suspects that she may have been detained by a relative of a certain Taoist family, "Maybe it's Yashan, Yang We still want her to have a romantic relationship with Shen Jiyi."

Xin Youtao used a flying talisman to send back a letter three days ago. The letter was very brief, saying only that King Dongjie was still hesitant and that he and Mr. Pan would have to wait for a while.

As for the letter of help sent by the Talisman Master Liu Ding, there was no reply. His status in the Longbin Society was so low that the Talisman Masters who received the letter did not even have the intention to deal with it.

That night, several monks left without saying goodbye. Early the next morning, several more monks said goodbye to Mu Xingqiu, "The strength of Duanliu City is really too weak. Even if there are two to three thousand more soldiers, we are willing to stay, but …”

Mu Xingqiu did not persuade them, but thanked the monks for their help these days and advised them not to go too far, "Reinforcements will arrive soon."

But he really hoped in his heart that there would be some definite news.

On the third day after the demon soldiers issued the challenge, only half of the monks were left. Dongjie Kingdom closed the bridge. When the soldiers and civilians in the city fell into panic again, Duanliu City received the long-awaited reinforcements. Excited people were walking in the streets. They ran around telling each other, shouting the same words—

"The princess is here!"
