Chapter 936: Instant Decision
Shen Hao has never been so confused, he thinks that he is not an indecisive person, but in the recent period of time, he has no opinion at all, he only feels that everything that is happening around him is incomprehensible: the new patriarch is suspicious everywhere; the grandmaster rebelled, first wooed him to oppose the patriarch, but after a few months, it was not resolved; Zuo Liuying was even more unpredictable, and he actually became the spokesperson of the patriarch.
The Dao system should be as transparent as crystal and thick as the earth, but now it is more like a strange peak shrouded in clouds, high and high, but people can't see through it.
What puzzled Shen Hao the most was that the vast majority of Taoist priests were indifferent to this, they were still as attentive as before, quite satisfied with the progress of their cultivation, and even more grateful to the patriarch, in their eyes, the Taoist system was about to usher in an unprecedented peak.
Shen Hao couldn't do it, he didn't even have the intention of cultivating, and Neidan had never been promoted.
"Tell me, how big a blow can Mu Xingqiu withstand?"
Now, he is standing opposite Zuo Liuying and is asked to answer an inexplicable question.
"Is he still alive?" Shen Hao suddenly felt a sense of relief in his heart, it was in this period of confusion that he missed his former friend very much.
"There is no life or death in the Cave of Extraction. Zuo Liuying said.
Shen Hao thought for a while, then raised his head and said, "Everything in my mind is under your control, is it necessary to say it?"
"Memory is not all that a person has, and making decisions on the fly can reveal their true face, and many people just don't have this opportunity. ”
Shen Hao didn't think that answering such a question was a quick decision, and frowned slightly: "Rather bend than bend, Mu Xingqiu is such a person, so how big a blow do you say he can withstand? As long as he doesn't die, he won't succumb to any blow." ”
Zuo Liuying nodded, "I'm going to arrange a task for you." ”
Shen Hao's brows furrowed even tighter, "I'm Daoist Pangshan...... You name it, I'll do it. ”
"Go and get back the heads of Xin Youtao and Pei Shurong. ”
"What?" Shen Hao was shocked. "What are the two of them guilty of?"
"They refuse to return to Taoism, one of their crimes, they will go to Yang Qingyin of Wangshan, and the second crime, these two are enough. ”
Shen Hao shook his head firmly, "These two are not crimes, the ancestor never said that those who have been Taoist priests must return to the Dao system, Yang Qingyin is not the enemy of the Taoist system, it is Xin Youtao and Xiao Qingtao's freedom to defect to her, and ...... Wasn't it your idea for them to leave the Imperial Capital?"
"I wouldn't give an idea to someone like Xin Youtao. Zuo Liuying paused. "Whether or not to return to Taoism is a test, and now that the test is over, it is a sin to refuse to return. Now Wangshan is the territory of the demon clan, the signs of collusion between Yang Qingyin and the demon clan are very obvious, tomorrow at dawn, the Dao system and the Holy Fu Dynasty will announce the list of the five demon kings at the same time, Yang Qingyin calls himself the spirit king, and he is among them. So, when you catch up with Xin and Pei. They have committed the unpardonable sin. ”
Shen Hao looked at Zuo Liuying in disbelief, even if the ancestor really wanted to exterminate sentient beings, he would not be so surprised and surprised, "You...... You ......" He had many doubts to ask. In the end, they all gave up, shook their heads again, and became more determined, "If I can fool you." I would pretend to agree, but I don't have the skills, so I have no choice but to refuse. ”
"You refuse?"
"I refuse the task. I won't kill innocent friends, that's my answer, you can do whatever you want with me, but my decision won't change, maybe that's what you call an impromptu decision, right?"
"You still have a choice: before nightfall tomorrow, if you bring back the heads of Xin Pei and the others, your heart will be relieved, and your cultivation will be smooth sailing from now on, if you can't bring it back, the Demon Pulling Cave will be your destination. ”
Shen Hao walked into the room in two steps, raising his eyebrows, "Killing my fellow Daoists, colluding with demons, and harming the mortal world, which of the three crimes did I commit, and you want to lock me up in the Demon Cave?"
"From now on, the fourth sin will be added: disobeying the will of the ancestors. Zuo Liuying said flatly.
Shen Hao really wanted to pounce on it and punch hard, but he knew that it was useless, he couldn't even touch the corner of Zuo Liuying's clothes, "You are not an ancestor." ”
The two looked at each other for a while, Shen Hao turned around and walked out of the room, it was no longer Zuo Liuying he knew, more like a ruthless demon entrant.
Zuo Liuying's right hand was still raised above his head, as if he was grasping something, but his eyes turned to the incense burner in the corner, "Of course, you know what I want to do, but it doesn't hurt you." ”
Zuo Liuying withdrew his right arm, spread out his palm, and at first there was nothing in his palm, and slowly added a copper gourd, which was a real demon pulling hole, not a dharma body floating in mid-air.
"Mu Xingqiu, you are still alive, very good, I am Zuo Liuying. He said to the copper gourd.
Mu Xingqiu in the Demon Pulling Cave heard this sentence from Shen Geng's mouth at this moment, and he was not surprised at all, in the uncovered land, anything can happen, "If I guessed correctly, you didn't kill Kun Zhen to save me, right?"
Mu Xingqiu's tone was mocking, he couldn't completely block the influence of the Demon Pulling Cave, the so-called silence just allowed him to barely control the surging emotions in his heart.
"You guessed it right. ”
"Then I guess that you have returned to the Dao system and joined Kunchao, right?"
"That's right. ”
"When we made a plan together, I thought about what Zuo Liuying, who had no last resort, should do? ”
"It's useless to think about it, the choices of both you and me are inevitable results, you can only enter the demon cave, and I can only take refuge in Kun Chao. ”
"Maybe it's the other way around. Mu Xingqiu hadn't thought about it yet, and he wasn't in a particularly good mood.
"No, I can't stop the spell of pulling out the demon cave, and you can't win the trust of Kun Chao. ”
"What nonsense!" Mu Xingqiu shouted angrily, "Don't pretend to know everything anymore, Zuo Liuying, the situation in the Demon Extraction Cave is not at all what you imagined, if you want to find the Nian Xin Sect Descendant, you must first go through the separation of body and soul, and then enter the land of selflessness with a remnant soul, do you understand what this means?"
"It means that you either can't get the method of telekinesis, or you can't practice it. ”
Mu Xingqiu laughed, at this moment, he hated Zuo Liuying no less than he hated Shen Geng, and he wanted to rush up and tear that body to pieces, he forcibly held back, sat cross-legged in mid-air, and prepared to enter the memory. "Actually, it's nothing, the whole world belongs to Kun Chao, why should I care about a Zuo Liuying? ”
"That's good. Our Lady of Ten Thousand Sons of Obstructing Wind Mountain, Yang Qingyin of Wangshan, Yishi Jun of Yelin Town, the new king of the sacrificial country, and the five demon kings of the South China Sea are called the five demon kings, and they will be eliminated one by one within ten years, all the servants will be killed, and the leaders will be sent to the Demon Pulling Cave, whether they are Taoist priests or not. ”
Yang Qingyin ...... "Mu Xingqiu only noticed this one name.
"Kun Zhen personally went to Wangshan to deal with that small group of people. He doesn't like accidents, Mu Dong'er and the Frost Soul Sword have the highest chance of causing accidents, so he has to cut them off first. ”
"Thank you. Mu Xingqiu said, closing his eyes and thinking, his hatred for Zuo Liuying suddenly disappeared without a trace.
Zuo Liuying's spell exited the Demon Extraction Cave, and Shen Geng knew nothing about it, and was still in a state of preoccupation.
Zuo Liuying, who was standing in the center of the room, sighed softly, Mu Xingqiu was probably the only one who could accurately understand his current situation, "Slaves are half-hearted, subordinates care more about returns, and loyal people will always slack off." Only the enemy is the best helper, they never tire and do everything they can not make mistakes. ”
Zuo Liuying himself didn't know who these words were for, he silently counted the time. In a few days, he will be able to visit Zeng Fu and Qilin as agreed.
When Zuo Liuying cast a spell and entered the Demon Extraction Cave, Shen Hao was flying quickly outside the city, since Zuo Liuying did not restrict his movements. He had to do something.
Spring has arrived, the snow is half-melting, and the air is mixed with hot and cold smells. Shen Hao didn't want to feel it, and flew faster and faster in the night, and finally caught up with the group of people who left the imperial capital in the second half of the night.
The team is not large, there are less than a hundred people, most of them are talisman masters, there are very few monks, they have benefited more from the ancestral master's spells, and they are naturally reluctant to leave.
Xin Youtao thought about it for a long time after visiting Zuo Liuying, and finally decided to make an exception: follow your instincts instead of making a complete plan beforehand.
His instinct was to stay away from Huangjing and Kunzhuan, the farther away the better, and since he was not prepared, all he could take with him was Xiao Qingtao and a team of Fu Gong masters who were loyal to him.
Ten flying carriages took them all the way north, preferably directly to Wangshan, and if not, Xin Youtao also hoped to be a little farther away from the imperial capital.
The carriage behind the palace issued a warning, Xin Youtao and Xiao Qingtao flew into the air, and saw Shen Hao from a distance, Xin Youtao smiled and ordered the Fu Master to cancel the warning, "I have already said goodbye to you, I don't know what to say when you catch up like this." ”
Shen Hao flew in front of Xin Youtao, and suddenly felt a burst of shame, because until this time he was still hesitating in his heart, and a voice kept reminding him: Zuo Liuying won't joke, he will really put him in the Demon Pulling Hole, is it all worth it?
The moment he saw Xin Youtao and Xiao Qingtao, Shen Hao finally had a positive answer.
"Don't go to the mountains, it's too late. Shen Hao said.
"What's going on?" Xin Youtao saw that Shen Hao's expression was wrong, and put away the smile on his face.
"Dao Tong and the Holy Fu Dynasty are about to declare the two of you guilty, Wangshan is too far away, you can't catch up, go to Yelin Town, as far as I know, Dao Tong will not attack there for a long time. ”
"Guilty, what crime?" Xin Youtao's eyes widened in surprise.
"It doesn't matter, there are no rules in the world anymore. Go to Yelin Town as fast as you can, stay there, and ......" Shen Hao nodded, turned around and flew away, he didn't know about "then", and he didn't want to stay too long and let his firmness be shaken again.
"Shen Hao, what's wrong?" Xin Youtao was inexplicable, he had met Shen Hao often in the past few months and resumed his friendship, so he said goodbye to him, but it attracted a strange send-off, "I also want to ask him to take care of Empress Xun again." ”
"Listen to him and hurry to Wild Woods. Xiao Qingtao felt more nervous.
Shen Hao flew to Huangjing, he didn't want to be tied up, and he didn't want to defect to the Taoist system like this, he was still a Taoist priest, and he had to face Zuo Liuying's trial in his own way.
