At the beginning of the night, the hall was as bright as day, crowded with proud soldiers and relieved civilians, and a few clever and daring dogs hid under the tables, devouring scarcely untouched flesh and bones.

Broken Flow City is celebrating the victory, and Pan Sanye resigns from the title of general, but his words still have weight, and he can have no scruples, "If the demon soldiers come to attack tonight, we all have to die - we must drink a good drink first!"

Xin Youtao agreed with the old soldier's statement, and took out the gold, silver, wine and food of the city guard to reward the whole army, the people were willing to join, those who came did not refuse, and no one came empty-handed, so the food in the city guard house was piled up more and more, and after being chased by the demon soldiers for so long, everyone needed a full catharsis.

The hall was full of loot, the demon soldiers used animal bones and horns to make zuò armor was very loved, many rich people who fled here even paid a high price on the spot, the huge head of the earthquake cow with only one horn and silver feather wings were displayed in the most conspicuous place in the hall, everyone would be amazed at them first, the more they felt that this victory was not easy.

Yang Qingyin and Xiao Qingtao ran for more than a hundred miles and finally killed Yinyu, finally saved face, and could indulge in booze without shame, the average Taoist priest is not strong enough to drink, but Yang Qingyin is drunk and wants to drink, hugged Xiao Qingtao and said: "It turns out that the more people there are, the better the wine." ”

Fu Master Liu Ding walked over and toasted Yang Qingyin seriously, "The longevity of the Taoist priest is enviable, I haven't seen him for a few years, and the demeanor of the Taoist priest Yang still does not change, and it is even more desirable for ordinary people, and it is ...... in the next place."

Yang Qingyin drank it all, tilted his head and squinted at Master Fu, "Don't talk nonsense, drink three bowls first, and only if you don't pour it can you be qualified to praise the old lady." ”

Liu Ding was stunned, stunned for a while, and suddenly picked up the wine jar from the table next to him and poured it violently. After drinking three bowls, he began to praise the female Taoist priests present in a nonsense manner, Yang Qingyin pouted vigorously, and Xiao Qingtao smiled like a flower.

There was a group of mortals gathered around each Taoist priest, and there were many more people standing outside waiting to approach them.

The prince and the Taoist priest were naturally the protagonists of the celebration banquet. But only one person received more attention than the giant bull's head and silver feathered wings.

Mu Xingqiu is now unable to move an inch, surrounded by people, he doesn't drink, but everyone toasts to him, he is not good at being polite, but everyone uses gorgeous language to express their admiration to him. He could only smile until his face stiffened, which was even more difficult than facing a powerful demon on the battlefield.

Xin Youtao rescued him, pulled him out of the crowd, and came to the backyard, "Let's go to the inn." I know you don't want to stay here. If the general of Xijieguo can't meet the person he wants to see the most, what's the point of being a general? I have lost Pan Sanye, a veteran, and I must keep you. ”

Mu Xingqiu smiled, and stuffed the wine glass that he hadn't drunk into Xin Youtao's hand, "The ability to win people's hearts, you are about to catch up with your sister." ”

"Haha, I still have to work hard. ”

Mu Xingqiu flew out of the city to guard the mansion under the cover of night. did not go directly to the inn, but flew around the city wall for half a circle, looking at it from afar, and now there was no abnormality in several directions before coming to the barracks.

The barracks were empty, most of the soldiers went to the banquet, and the old and weak soldiers who did not participate in the battle stayed behind to care for the wounded, with rows of corpses protected by talismans on one side and the wounded in tents on the other.

Pan Sanye, who claimed that "you must drink well before you die", left the city guard mansion very early and stood alone in the barracks to meditate. When Mu Xingqiu fell to his side, he was not surprised at all. He said, "Two hundred and eleven soldiers were killed and thirty-four were wounded. ”

"The casualties of the demon soldiers are even greater, more than twice as many as ours. ”

"Well, it's a rare victory. But we will still lose, and Broken Flow City can't withstand such attrition, unless we try our best to invite reinforcements. ”

Mu Xingqiu thought for a while, "Broken Flow City has long been abandoned, let's pick it up, but no one takes it seriously, the Nine Great Dao Commands, the major vassal states, and the Holy Fu Dynasty all think that Broken Flow City is not worth guarding." ”

"They were right, Broken Stream City was originally to defend the Dongjie Kingdom on the other side, and there was no danger to defend to the west. But this is no ordinary war, the ambition of the demon race is to rob the entire human world, so where is the most suitable place for a decisive battle? I had seen the mountain of demonic fire from afar, running over the peaks and the city like a hammer crushing an egg. This is an unprecedented powerful witchcraft, and there is no danger in the world. It is necessary to guard city by city and let the demon clan know that even if you have the demon mountain, you can't conquer the human race lightly. ”

"The Dao Tong will eventually destroy the demon army. ”

The veteran understands the human race and the demon clan, Mu Xingqiu understands the Nine Great Dao system, and those powerful high-level Taoist priests regard the demon clan as their biggest enemy, and they will only take action when the threat of the demon clan is too obvious.

"You are a Taoist priest like no other. ”

Mu Xingqiu had heard similar words many times, but he had never figured out what made him different.

"In the eyes of Taoist priests, mortals have a short lifespan, and their knowledge is naturally short. But for this reason, we can't afford to wait, every time we lose a city, thousands or even hundreds of thousands of mortals will be killed, and when the Daoist finally makes a move, how many mortals will there be in this world? There are very few Taoist priests who look at war from the standpoint of mortals, and you are one of them. ”

Mu Xingqiu wasn't sure if he could afford the praise of the veteran, so he thought for a while before saying, "Actually, we are protecting a magic weapon of Pang Mountain, and when the magic weapon is repaired, we will probably have to evacuate Broken Flow City as well." ”

Pan Sanye showed a meaningful smile, "It depends on how you choose." The veteran didn't want to persuade the priest at such a time, so he immediately changed the subject, "There is something that has always confused me, you are a Taoist priest, can you tell me the truth?"

"Of course. "Mu Xingqiu has no secrets that he can't reveal to veterans.

"The Taoist priest seems to be particularly disrespectful to the corpse, and even if his own person dies, he buries it very hastily. ”

Pan had participated in several joint battles between the Xuanfu Army and the Taoist priests, and was extremely impressed by the Taoist priests' indifference.

"We believe that after death, the soul will remain in the same place for seven days, then gradually weaken, and after forty-nine days it will disappear completely, and we will take out the inner dan and give it to our own Dao system before we die, and the body - there is no meaning. ”

"I see, it's useless for us to bring back the corpses, and we should mourn them at the place where the soldiers died. But it was only forty-nine days. Pan Sanye shook his head, "I still believe that after death, I will become a ghost and be reborn, the Taoist priest's set is too ruthless." ”

Mu Xingqiu said goodbye with a smile, this time he went straight to the inn, and a trace of sadness rose in his heart. The nearly 400 Taoist priests who were martyred by Old Ancestor Peak did not have the opportunity to leave Neidan to the Pangshan Dao Commander, would this make them uneasy after death? Seven seven and forty-nine days have not passed, and those souls whose memories are gradually becoming confused still remember this incident?

There were celebrations all over the city, and everyone seemed to see this victory as a decisive result, thinking that the demon soldiers would never dare to chase after them again. When Mu Xingqiu flew through the sky, he saw several old men sitting on the street crying bitterly, shouting: "You don't have to go to Dongjie Country!"

The inn was the only deserted place, even more deserted than the barracks where the corpses were piled up and the wounded were housed, and there was no one to clean it for days, and the dust was thicker. Only Zuo Liuying's room still looked as clean as it had been on the first day.

The difference between a Taoist priest and a mortal is not only the length of life, but also the difference in many subtleties, Mu Xingqiu silently recalled, he actually missed Yelin Town, his former hometown was like a dream world, and when he woke up, he and his partners were already Taoist priests. On the path of cultivation, I hesitated forward, and suddenly I returned, but my dreams were still clear.

He glanced up at the moon in the sky, trying to slow down the movement of Neidan, but it was useless, the cold autumn wind could not affect his body, which was also one of the small differences between Taoist priests and mortals, the former could not retreat, and the latter could not walk up.

The second watch arrived, and the young devil appeared on time. didn't show off his boxing skills, he floated quietly in front of Mu Xingqiu, his mouth was still clicking, and his degree was a little slow, as if he was persuading him to do something.

"I know. Mu Xingqiu said. As if he understood the words of the young demon, he was actually speaking to himself, "The past is a burden, and mortals still have to keep throwing it away, let alone a Taoist priest who cultivates?"

"It's harder for Taoists. ”

Mu Xingqiu turned around suddenly, and it was not Fang Fang who came out of the room, it was Zuo Liuying, and it was Zuo Liuying who could speak, and he immediately understood that this was another illusion created by the Forbidden Secret Throne.

This is a spell that is different from the Nian Heart Illusion, it belongs to the water of the five elements, and it is very powerful to be cast by the Shen Shen Taoist, Mu Xingqiu has no way to resist, and he doesn't want to resist, because he happens to want to see Zuo Liuying.

"The unclean breath is getting closer and closer to Broken Stream. Mu Xingqiu said that after the victory in the battle during the day, he recovered a little bit of mana, and immediately flew up and looked into the distance, those unclean qi of different colors crisscrossing the territory of Xijie Country were not affected by the defeat of the demon soldiers, and were still slowly expanding, "less than three hundred miles." ”

Zuo Liuying's illusion didn't care about this kind of information at all, and still followed the original train of thought and said: "The stupidest Taoist priest's memory is far from that of mortals, mortals can easily forget the past, but the Taoist priest is as vivid as yesterday, this is a punishment, a punishment for cultivators, so Taoist priests must be pure in heart and have few desires, and they must survive all kinds of Taoist tribulations, otherwise, the past will crush the present, and the Taoist priest will fall into the devil." Can you imagine a thousand-year-old Taoist priest who remembers a grievance he experienced when he was five years old so vividly that he wept bitterly?"

"No, you can't. Mu Xingqiu could only understand part of the truth.

"I've seen that Taoist priest who was so focused on the sevenfold spirit that he was only able to enter the realm of serving the moonlight, but because he couldn't get rid of a memory thousands of years ago, he fell into a demon and disappeared. ”

Mu Xingqiu was silent for a while, "What does this have to do with me, and what does it have to do with Broken Flow City?"

"Don't think about today's battle anymore, the dead are gone, soon you will see more deaths, the demon army is about to kill, this time there is likely to be a big demon sitting in the formation, you have already attracted the attention of Qi Wusupreme, the next battle will be a hundred times more difficult than today. ”

"Hasn't the Patriarch Tower been repaired yet?"

"Not yet. ”

"You can't ...... A little more help, even if it's to put Lanch on the battlefield. ”

"No, Lanqizhang can't go to war, you have to find help from elsewhere. But I can offer you a little bit of something else. ”

Zuo Liuying's illusion walked over and reached out to hold Mu Xingqiu's forehead, but his eyes looked at the young demon floating behind him, as if he could see it.

"The two legs are for walking, they are not the destination, the boat is for riding, you always have to get down and continue the journey, the memory is used to strengthen the inner dan, to the quiet to move, but you will not use the quiet to fight, the same reason, the nine changes of the beast is used to achieve the illusion, to move to the still, to move to meet the enemy, you are chasing the end. ”

Mu Xingqiu's heart shook suddenly.
