Chapter 453: Sleeping
Mu Xingqiu's reaction to the demon was even more obvious, because he had overcome most of the rejection in advance, so there was not much pain, but he became very sleepy, and as soon as midnight passed, he yawned even for the day, and he couldn't bear it.
But he couldn't stop resting, Xin Youtao and the others were left in the middle of the demon clan as hostages, if there was an accident, Mu Xingqiu would regret it. He rode a flea, and Xiao Artemisia flew with the help of Xiao Qingtao's spell, Zuo Liuying accepted this arrangement, didn't say anything, and still flew near Mu Xingqiu, observing every bit of his changes.
After a full day of flying, Mu Xingqiu fell asleep on the back of the unicorn, and the fleas took off steadily from this time, and Mu Xingqiu almost didn't feel the slightest bump. When he woke up, it was already dawn, Mu Xingqiu had never slept so deeply, he had no dreams and no thoughts, and when he first opened his eyes, he even had an illusion, thinking that he was still at home in Yelin Town, he got up late, and if he didn't hurry up to herd the horse, he would be scolded by his father......
Finding that he was riding a strange animal flying in the air, Mu Xingqiu was taken aback, and almost jumped off the back of the unicorn, breaking out in a cold sweat, the autumn wind blew, he suddenly woke up, and the cultivation life over the years returned to his memory.
"Brother Xiaoqiu, are you better?" Xiao Qingtao asked worriedly, she had been watching over Mu Xingqiu all the time, making sure he wouldn't fall off the back of the Qilin, and was upset that he was sleeping so deeply.
After practicing for several years, Taoist priests can usually replace sleep with thoughts, even if it is a small artemisia with two inhales, they will not sleep without knowing anything.
Cold sweat passed away with the wind, Mu Xingqiu snorted, then stretched his arms, and said with a smile: "I feel...... Great. β
Zuo Liuying, who was flying on the other side of him, had already taken out the Contemplation Orb and the Bronze Mirror, "Describe it carefully." β
"I slept and probably ......"
"Exactly three hours. Xiao Qingtao continued for him.
"Well, three hours, no dreams in between, and that time seems to have disappeared completely. When I woke up, I forgot that I was a Taoist priest, and then I quickly remembered that now I feel refreshed and full of mana, and the two inner pills are normal. And I feel in a very good mood, as if every qiΔ problem will be solved. β
Mu Xingqiu couldn't help but grin, and Xiao Qingtao also smiled, "Didn't you say that the demon transformation is painful, how can you ......" She closed her mouth, because Zuo Liuying on the other side seemed to have a different opinion on this matter.
After being together for a long time, Xiao Qingtao can already read some subtle changes from Zuo Liuying's wood-like expression. For example, when his gaze moves up and down twice, it means that something is dissatisfying to him.
"Brother Xiao Qiu had a good night's sleep, shouldn't it be a bad thing? What do you say, Zuo Shouza?" Xiao Qingtao was still used to being called before, she knew that if she didn't ask questions, Zuo Liuying would never speak.
Zuo Liuying didn't seem to hear this, and flew out of a distance before suddenly saying, "You have all been in Yangshen Peak for three years. β
"Hmm. Mu Xingqiu and Xiao Qingtao replied at the same time.
"In those three years, the main thing was to refine the body, so that your body could withstand the inner pill and mana. β
The two of them hummed again, all Taoist priests must go through this process, and the refining methods of each Taoist system may be different. But the intent is the same.
"Mu Xingqiu's awakening is probably changing his physique, making him more suitable for carrying the demon pill. β
A good thing suddenly turned into a bad thing, but Mu Xingqiu couldn't get upset, because he really liked the pleasant feeling after a big sleep. It's as if you can fly with your arms open without casting a spell.
Xiao Qingtao asked worriedly: "The first seat on the left can reverse Brother Xiao Qiu back, right?"
"No, you can't. Zuo Liuying replied cleanly, and added after a while: "Not now, his demon transformation has just begun." It is necessary to wait until there are more signs, especially when the inner dan starts to change, to prescribe the right medicine. β
Xiao Qingtao finally gave birth to a little hope in her heart. It didn't take long for her to worry about other things, "Why did Xin Youtao run away? Doesn't he believe that Brother Xiao Qiu will go and rescue him?" Or ...... Or did the demon do it ahead of time despite the agreement?"
"We'll find out soon. Mu Xingqiu was reluctant to speculate.
There was another demon city in front, the demon soldiers were evacuated very cleanly, even some of the materials on the demon tower were removed, more than two hundred human slaves were killed, many of their limbs were missing, leaving a neat knife edge, Zuo Liuying didn't come to check at all, Xiao Qingtao's face turned pale, "When will this mutual slaughter end?"
Mu Xingqiu lit some firewood with lightning, and Xiao Qingtao helped cast a spell to burn the entire demon city, which was the only thing they could do.
"Artemisia is such a strange person. After finishing her work, Xiao Qingtao whispered to Mu Xingqiu.
Artemisia was also helping to set the fire, but she did not show the slightest fear or disgust at the corpses and blood stains all over the ground, she did not turn a blind eye, she would stop and recite a few verses when she saw the corpses of women and children, and even straighten the corpses, but she was too calm, as if she was used to doing these things.
"She's a natural Taoist. Mu Xingqiu finally understood the uniqueness of Xiao Artemisia, and also understood why the dragon demon was optimistic about this little girl, she was a little Taoist priest with double inhalation, but she had the peace that only a few high-level Taoist priests had, and everything couldn't stay with her for a long time, she remembered a qiΔ, but she never took it to heart - it seemed that she already had the heart of a Taoist.
"Hah, then I'll have to please her in advance, maybe this is a future first. Xiao Qingtao greeted Xiao Hao with a smile, and was very affectionate to her from then on.
Artemisia accepted it calmly and did not change her attitude in any way.
Half of Xijie Kingdom seems to be empty, the demon soldiers abandoned all the cities and strongholds, and sure enough, as Zuo Liuying expected, they fled to Baizhang City, there are human slave corpses everywhere, the demon soldiers made up their minds not to leave any alive, Mu Xingqiu and the others could only set fire to the corpses all the way, which delayed some time.
It was a full four days before they arrived at the place where Xin Youtao and the others were originally trapped.
This is an isolated hill, more than 200 miles away from Baizhang City, when the weather is good, you can see the thick unclean atmosphere that envelops the demon capital and the faintly dense demon tower, Xin Youtao, Shen Ji and Ouyang Lance are equivalent to being imprisoned here, the demon magician and the demon soldiers have been besieging but not attacking, and it was agreed that after Mu Xingqiu returned to Baizhang City, they would leave the demon clan territory safely.
Now the demon sorcerer and demon soldier are gone, and they have been evacuated cleanly, and there is a tall cloth banner erected on the top of the mountain, with white characters on a black background. A talisman is drawn.
"Was it left by Xin Youtao?" asked Xiao Qingtao, looking at Fu Qiwan from afar.
Mu Xingqiu shook his head, Xin Youtao's ability to write talismans is average, this is by no means his handwriting, and after flying a distance, Mu Xingqiu carefully identified the gap between the curtain and the wreckage!
The huge talisman was windless, and the white handwriting on it swam as if it was alive, and soon turned into the image of an old woman, "Haha, isn't this my good nephew Zuo Liuying? I didn't believe it when I heard that you entered the Demon Domain." I didn't expect it to be true. I've also heard that you've quit the Dao system. β
"Yes, my aunt, I am no longer a Pangshan Taoist. Zuo Liuying stopped in the air and nodded slightly to Lan Curling's vision.
"Hey, it's really worthy of the genius Zuo Liuying, obviously he has encountered a sigh calamity, and his cultivation has stopped, but he can still shake the Nine Great Roads, if my sister is still alive. What a pride. β
Lan Bing Curling would not let go of any opportunity to taunt his nephew, and Zuo Liuying didn't care, and said flatly: "Dao Tong won't be able to shake me for a long time, Aunt Auntie felt the vibration caused by the Sword Washing Pool in Asan in Baizhang City? That might last for a long time." β
Asan launched an attack on the demon clan with the sword washing pond and the angry sea tide. It was getting closer and closer to the demon capital Baizhang City, and in the past few days, Mu Xingqiu and the others could feel vibrations coming from different directions every few hours.
"Don't rush to declare victory, my good nephew. The whole world is changing, and the demon clan is bearing the brunt, let's be honest. It's not certain who will win or lose this war, do you see my talisman? β
"I saw the talisman, but I didn't see my aunt herself. β
"Haha, I'm not so arrogant, dare to face the attack of Asan Zhibao alone, wait and see, good nephew, the timing of your withdrawal from the Dao system is really appropriate, when my talisman is more perfect, I will talk to you about it, we are not Taoist priests anymore, and we don't need to shrink back like before." β
"Waiting for you at any time. β
The blue curling illusion on the banner changed several forms, and finally fixed, "Mu Xingqiu, I left the talisman to wait for you." β
"I'm back as promised, what about my friends?" asked Mu Xingqiu, sitting on the back of a flea.
"Have you taken the Demon Transformation Pill?"
"Well, it's been days. β
"You surprised me, Mu Xingqiu, it takes a lot of courage to take the Demon Transformation Pill on your own initiative, even more courage than Zuo Liuying's withdrawal from the Dao system, otherwise your love is too deep. The Demon King welcomes you back, but things have changed a little now. β
"What changes? didn't the Giant Demon King expect the Dao Tong to launch a counterattack?"
"The Giant Demon King expected a qiΔ, but I didn't expect you to bring back a Daoist priest who is Injected with Gods, that's right, Zuo Liuying withdrew from the Dao system, but what if this is a conspiracy of the Dao Sect? Let a Divine Daoist enter the demon capital, and then the inside and the outside should be combined. β
"Dao Tong won't use trickery against Qi Wushang, you should know that very well. β
"I know what can I do? I'm not a Demon King, I'm just a guest here, just a Dao Talisman in exchange for some help. β
Lan curling was pulling around, Xiao Qingtao was impatient, and said loudly: "Xin Youtao, where did they go?"
"Strange to say, we were very polite to the hostages, neither attacking nor demanding that they hand over the captured Yu Wang and the four Strange Historians, but they were just not satisfiedβ" Lan Bing paused for a moment, "and they fled during the night. β
Xiao Qingtao breathed a sigh of relief, but she was also a little puzzled, "The sorcerer didn't stop them?"
They ran into the demon capital with their captives, and at this time they were trapped in a demon trap and could not extricate themselves, and the demon magician could not get close. β
Xiao Qingtao was taken aback, and didn't understand why Xin Youtao did such a dizzy thing.
"Mu Xingqiu. Lan Bing's illusion began to fade, "You can only return to the demon capital alone, and you are not allowed to bring any Taoist priests...... Maybe you can take the unicorn, the number of spirit demons is too small. β
